Jerome frowned. "If we just show up like this, won't it start a fight?"
Milo sneered. "Don't worry. As long as I'm willing to humble myself just a little before Koda, that arrogant young man will get so full of himself he'll forget where he stands. Little does he know, he's just a stepping stone for me to become the Director."
Andrew smiled. "I have no problem with that. Just give the order, and I'll be the first to charge forward."
Milo appreciated that and said, "Mr. Lloyd, I'll say it again. Once things work out for me, Quinn will be your perfect wife."
Andrew immediately waved it off and said, "Let's not do that. Ms. Avila is beautiful, capable, and refined, so you should keep her and marry her off to someone else with real potential."
Milo choked on that answer, and he instantly realized Andrew was disgusted by his daughter's behavior.
Just thinking about Quinn's revolting actions made Milo's expression darken again. Once everything had settled down, he would have to find time to severely discipline that disgrace of a daughter.
…
With Milo leading the way, Andrew, Jerome, and Eric headed out to meet Koda. Most of the Advanced Medical Institute's territory and people were already under Corbin's control.
Koda, relying on his sheer aggression and his early advantage, held a section on the west side. The place was easy to defend and hard to breach, plus it used to be Quentin's private residence.
As they walked, Milo said with a mocking tone, "Mr. Livingston died right here, killed by the disciple he trusted the most. He never expected the place he cherished would turn into his burial ground."
Jerome snorted and said, "In our world, betraying your mentor is the biggest taboo, and one day, Koda will pay the price for what he did."
Milo huffed. "And I will be the agent of that justice. After I take down both Corbin and Koda, I'm sure Mr. Livingston's spirit will be grateful to me."
Andrew thought, 'Mr. Livingston won't thank you. He'll just wave and say hello, because you're probably going to meet him pretty soon yourself.'
