"Move it, mutt. Get out of the damn way," Andrew said coldly.
Facing Liam and the unreadable Conrad behind him, Andrew's expression did not change in the slightest.
Liam sneered. "Still as arrogant as ever. But times have changed. Chetvine is no longer your playground where you stand above everyone else."
His fists cracked with sharp pops as he clenched them, his grin fading into something far more sinister. He was Conrad's lackey, or more accurately, Conrad's attack dog who would die at a single glance from his master.
Even though Liam's own family was quite prestigious and wealthy, following a supreme prodigy like Conrad was what truly made him proud.
"Andrew, you're dying today!" Liam's playful expression finally turned dark.
The street thug aura around him vanished instantly, leaving only sinister coldness and thick killing intent. The three other young men at his side also stepped forward with grim expressions, each one a top talent of Chetvine's younger generation.
In any other city, they would be hailed as prodigies and heirs, but in Chetvine, talent was everywhere. Here, even family jewels and future successors could be found by the dozens. And now, all of them stood with Conrad, with Liam leading the charge.
Andrew studied them with a flicker of surprise in his eyes. With a casual yet mocking tone, he said, "Looks like you've changed a lot over the years. Back then, Chetvine was full of useless brats wasting away. Now, at least you've grown a spine."
