Chapter 264: Threat

The government man’s legs went soft, and he collapsed on the ground. Cold sweat flowed out of his head. Even his face was pale from fear.

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Andrew just smiled faintly and then put away the Dustless Sword in his hand.

“Didn’t you look quite arrogant just now? Why are you so scared? What a waste.”

He said to the person in a cold voice with a teasing look. Then he turned around and walked to the side of Wallace.

Andrew found that Wallace’s face was particularly ugly, and his eyes could not help but reveal a trace of fear.

A trace of doubt flashed through his eyes. He asked Wallace, “I’ve already dealt with him. What do you have to be afraid of? Isn’t he just a core member of the government? If worst comes to worst, I’ll help you kill him now.”

Wallace repeatedly shook his head and hurriedly explained to him, “I appreciate your kindness, but you’d better not attack him. We are here to do something important, so let’s let him go.”

Seeing his submissive look, Andrew could only shake his head helplessly. “If that’s the case, then bring me in first.”

He withdrew his cultivation and followed behind Wallace.

Wallace understood what he meant. He turned around and walked forward shakily.

Andrew was definitely not afraid. After all, he did not work in the government. Even if he really killed the person just now, he would just fight it out and walk away.

However, it was different for Wallace. After all, he still had to eat this bowl of rice. If Andrew really killed the person who was shouting just now, then he might not be able to save his own life, let alone his job.

Moreover, based on what Andrew did just now, he would definitely have a lot of trouble here in the future.

Just as the two of them walked away, the person who was lying on the ground stood up angrily and stared at their backs fiercely. Then, he said in a cold voice, “Wallace, just you wait. Sooner or later, I will tear you into pieces.”

On the other side, Andrew was following Wallace. In a short while, they reached a magnificent building. Wallace knocked on the door respectfully.

A cold and dignified voice came from the room.

“Come in.”

Wallace looked at Andrew, who was standing at the side, and gave him a look. Then, he pushed the door open and walked in.

When they got closer, they found a man with a full beard resting his legs on the table and leaning against his chair. He had a cold smile on his face as he stared at the two of them.

After entering, before they could open his mouth, the person sitting on the chair spoke to him coldly.

“You’re just an external person in charge. What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you? If there’s nothing, don’t bother me.”

Looking at his arrogant manner, Andrew merely smiled and pulled Wallace behind him. His expression was cold as he walked towards the man.

Andrew changed back his appearance. With a cold smile on his face, he asked the bearded man.

“Are you saying that if I had nothing to do, I wouldn’t be here? Who gave you such authority?”

The man’s eyes were still blurry, but after hearing those words, he slowly opened them.

When he saw Andrew’s face clearly, he was so scared that he jumped down from the chair he was sitting on. He stood in front of Andrew respectfully.

In an instant, his arrogant look had disappeared without a trace. He acted like a dog licking Andrew.

“If I had known that you were coming, I would have welcomed you at the door. You didn’t even tell me before you came so that I could prepare myself.”

He pulled his chair from behind and carefully pushed it in front of Andrew.

Although many people in the government didn’t know Andrew, they had heard of his reputation.

Moreover, these high-ranking government officials had basically seen Andrew’s real face, even though Andrew could not remember what they looked like.

However, they remembered Andrew in their hearts. After all, he was the strongest among them.

The actions of the person in front of him stunned Wallace, who was standing at the side. He could only stand there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

After all, the guy just now was the person with relatively greater influence here. He could not say anything at all.

He had no idea that the person he had just brought in was actually so powerful.

On the other side, when Andrew saw the arrogant guy suddenly change his attitude, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He said, “The reason I am here is simple. You can either tell me why you are taking 60% of the profits from the Crimson Flame Stone mine, or I will destroy your place today.”

The bearded man was stunned. He explained to him with an awkward expression, “This matter really has nothing to do with us. It’s a direct order from the higher-ups. I’m just a messenger.”

Seeing his ugly look, Andrew instantly unleashed his cultivation and grabbed his neck tightly.

“I advise you to explain clearly. Otherwise, if I hit you with this palm, there’s a high possibility that you will lose your life here.”

Andrew did not want to waste any more words with him. After all, this was related to his profits. He came here today to find out why the government was so greedy.

Moreover, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. It was the first time that someone dared to snatch his things.

Seeing Andrew’s unforgiving look, the bearded man hurriedly begged him for mercy.

“I said… I said, is that not enough? Can you please let me go first?”
