Koda's eyelids twitched hard, and he glared at Andrew with a cold grin as he said, "No wonder you're so damn stubborn. Turns out one of your family's top dogs came along with you. Well, in that case, I suppose I can let you have this one."
Milo yelped, "Mr. Lloyd, you mean the Lloyd royal family has other experts here? W-Why didn't you give me a heads-up about this?"
Andrew smiled. "Mr. Avila, didn't I tell you? My family's people are waiting down the mountain. As for whether any big shots came with us, you didn't ask, so naturally I didn't tell you."
Milo nodded repeatedly, excitement clear on his face. "It's no problem at all. As long as we've got experts here, that's what matters. May I ask, are they a martial emperor, or what level are we talking about?"
Andrew thought for a moment, then said, "A martial emperor wouldn't last one exchange against the Elder. However, he came specifically for Mr. Owens Senior. Everyone else isn't worth his time."
Milo was overjoyed. "That's enough… More than enough! Luck is truly on our side. Since the Lloyd family brought such a pillar of strength, our side's got this in the bag."
Meanwhile, Koda's face darkened as he watched Andrew and his group heading out. He quickly caught up, forcing a smile. "Wait. How about this… Let's work together, you and me. I'll give you this Bloodburst Pill right now. All I need is for you to lend me a hand here. Don't worry, whatever plans you have next, I'll definitely cooperate."
Andrew snatched the Bloodburst Pill and said flatly, "We'll see. Koda, remember this: our primary target isn't Mr. Easton. It's the Owens family. So if you listen to me, everything will be fine. But if you don't, you'll be dead."
Koda nodded frantically. "Don't worry, I'll listen to you. But could you maybe ask that elder from your family to come up the mountain and rest? Our valley has way better conditions than down below. An expert of his caliber shouldn't have to rough it down there."
Andrew's smile was half-mocking. "Relax, he comes and goes like a ghost. Sure, he's down the mountain, but for all we know, he might've already snuck into the Advanced Medical Institute to keep tabs on us."
Koda's eyes widened as he instinctively looked around. He saw nothing, but he could not help believing Andrew's words.
