Andrew slowly rose to his feet and grabbed Sergio by the throat. The latter's face turned red as he felt like he was about to suffocate.
In Andrew's hand, he was utterly helpless, unable to demonstrate any of his strength at all.
Sergio begged again, "If… killing me… can make you feel better, I-I'm willing to die. I only ask that you spare… spare my family!"
All his former pride and lifelong triumphs had turned to bitter tears.
Andrew snorted coldly and tightened his grip. After that, Sergio was sent flying and slammed heavily against the wall.
After hitting the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Yet, he did not feel pain.
Instead, he asked with slight hope, "Andrew, are you willing to spare me?"
Andrew stood up and walked out of the Harding residence, his expression blank. "Sparing you is only temporary. Your life is still mine, and no one can save you."
Sergio's face turned ashen again. He knew there was no way he could survive so easily. He stuttered, "W-What exactly do you want?"
Andrew said coldly, "Wait for my instructions. Soon, the people of the Harding family will have to go to the battlefield for me. Killing you would be somewhat wasteful. It's better to send you to the battlefield to serve Holtrien. That way, I might think a bit more highly of you."
Sergio did not understand what battlefield Andrew was talking about, but being able to live for now still filled him with overwhelming joy.
After leaving the Harding residence, Andrew had only one last place left to visit: the Cunningham residence.
The Cunningham family was among Chetvine's major families, and it had fought most brutally against the Lloyd royal family.
Aspen said thoughtfully, "Honey, are you hesitating about going to the Cunningham family because of your relationship with Conrad?"
Andrew said flatly, "My relationship with Conrad is a separate matter. What I need to do has nothing to do with him, and he can't interfere."
But before that, Andrew still gave Conrad a heads-up.
The Cunningham family had one day to prepare. Tomorrow, he would personally visit and ask Otto if he still dared to be as arrogant as before.
Otto had always wanted to push out the Lloyd royal family and take their place. Yet, after all these years, he had gained nothing. What awaited him now was Andrew's overwhelming suppression.
