Chapter 58
“The young lady of the Novastar Organization!”
Andrew was taken aback. “I’ve never crossed the Novastar Organization. What do you want?”
He was visibly on guard, and there was fear evident in his eyes.
The Novastar Organization was the foremost faction of Bandaskar, renowned for their multitude of powerful members. Their leader was one of the best in the world.
Not to mention, he could barely deal with Elena.
Elena was the most outstanding genius the Novastar Organization had ever produced in the past hundred years. She was already a renowned expert at a young age. Many people speculated that she had already entered the grandmaster realm.
The Shadowtiger was nothing compared to that.
“Mr. Andrew, no need to be afraid. I mean no harm,” Elena said with a smile.
“What are you here for?” Andrew asked warily.
“I’m here to propose a collaboration with you, Mr. Andrew.” Elena revealed her intention.
“Ms. Spark, you’ve got to be kidding me. The Shadowtiger is affiliated with the Supreme Nexus. We’re an enemy to the Novastar Organization.” Andrew scoffed. He didn’t believe a word.
Elena smiled radiantly. “The Shadowtiger Group is just a minor branch of the Frostclaw, and the Supreme One doesn’t care about you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have treated your son so ruthlessly.”
Kieran felt humiliated. He wished he could just disappear.
Andrew grunted. “He deserves it for trying to violate the Supreme One’s wife.”
“And did you deserve to chop off your hand?” Elena went on to ask.
“Yes. It was my fault for offending someone I shouldn’t have,”
Andrew said with a frustrated look on his face.
Elena smirked. “Mr. Miller, that’s not what you truly think, is it?
Your only son was castrated, ending your family line. I don’t believe you don’t harbor any resentment.”
“Ms. Spark, you don’t have to sow discord. I’ll never betray the Supreme One. If you have nothing else, please leave. I’ll pretend you never came today.”
Andrew requested her to leave. The truth was, he was slightly convinced. However, he lacked the courage to betray the Supreme One.
Elena didn’t leave but sat down instead. “Mr. Andrew, I advise you to reconsider. You’re well aware of the strength of the Novastar Organization, which is comparable to the Supreme Nexus. A partnership with us not only offers revenge but also immense benefits.”
“Dad, don’t hesitate. Hurry up and say yes.”
Kieran was anxious. After all, this was his only hope of getting revenge. He didn’t want to miss it.
After a long hesitation, Andrew looked at Elena. “I’ll collaborate, but on one condition.”
“Go on.”
“After taking down the Supreme One, hand over Lillian, that despicable woman, to me,” Andrew said viciously.
“No problem. Got it.” Elena consented.
Elena then revealed her plan. Andrew was secretly shocked when he heard it. Elena was as cunning and ruthless as rumored. Her meticulous plan would surely deceive the unsuspecting.
After agreeing on terms, Elena and her men left.
It was not until then that Andrew and Kieran came out of the office. Both of them broke out in a cold sweat.
They saw a dozen of the Shadowtiger’s men lying all over the corridor. They rushed downstairs and were shocked to find that all of them were asleep. They were obviously intoxicated by a very powerful drug.
Andrew felt relieved. It was lucky that he chose to cooperate.
Otherwise, Elena would have killed him no differently than crushing an ant.
The following days were calm.
Sebastian, apart from driving Lillian to and from work, kept a close watch on the Novastar Organization.
With Fin gone, the Dragonheart would likely lay low for a while.
Still, the lack of activity from the Novastar Organization made him uneasy.
That day, Sebastian went to pick up Lillian from work as usual.
“I don’t want to go home yet. I have a meeting with someone. Can you drive me there?” Lillian asked after getting into the car.
“Where to?” Sebastian asked as he started the car.
“The Southmont Cafe,” Lillian said.
“Why such a secluded place?” Sebastian frowned slightly.
He had heard about Southmont Cafe, which was located on the southern outskirts. It was a quiet place that was rarely visited. In fact, there weren’t many customers there.
Its main appeal was its tranquil and secretive environment, coupled with robust security. It was owned by the Shadowtiger Group. No one dared to go there to cause trouble.
“The person is a potential partner introduced by Mr. Miller, so we decided to meet at his cafe,” Lillian explained.
