Andrew looked at him coldly. "Who said I didn't get anything out of this? At the very least, I taught a ruthless, ungrateful bastard like you a lesson you'll never forget. Eric was willing to let you go, but you were heartless enough to strike him down."
He continued, "Henry, you'd better pray that I don't make it out of the McDaniel family estate today. Because if I do, you know damn well I'll make your life a living hell!"
Henry's face turned pale for a moment. However, that pallor was quickly replaced by rage and venomous hatred.
He said, "Fine, I'll admit that I'm no match for you right now. But Andrew, you still have to make it out of here alive first."
He scoffed and added, "Whether it's Mr. McDaniel Senior or the High Priest, either one of them is more than capable of killing you. Not to mention, there's no way in hell I'm letting you walk out of here alive. I'd rather give up on capturing the saintess than let you live to become a future threat!"
Nicholas stepped forward, his voice stern. "Andrew, considering you're just a young man who's new to the McDaniel family estate, I'll give you one chance.
"As long as you step aside right now and don't interfere in my family business, then everything that happened here can be forgotten. I give you my word as the head of the McDaniel family: we'll let bygones be bygones!"
Andrew glanced at him sideways, a mocking smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Mr. McDaniel Senior, do you really think I'm some three-year-old kid? That kind of talk might work on children, but it won't work on me.
"Today I've discovered your McDaniel family's conspiracy with the Crimson Flame Cult, and your secret of hiding Shiloh. You think you'd let me go? Mr. McDaniel Senior, drop the act. What you're really thinking is that once I step aside, you'll launch a full attack!"

Why there is no update for last two days??...
Brilliant piece of work. I am enjoying the novel. The only problem is that it is taking longer to update more chapters....
