Chapter 265: Hephaestus
After hearing his sobbing tone, Andrew finally noticed that he had unconsciously exerted more strength in his hands.
The bearded man had already turned red from holding his breath. He was panting heavily.
Seeing his pained expression, Andrew slowly let go of his hands and said to him coldly, “You better tell me the truth, or else don’t blame me for being rude to you. I’m sure you know my temper. I won’t kill you, but I’ll make your life worse than death.”
After Andrew said this, a chilling sneer hung on the corner of his mouth. The man looked at him and couldn’t help but take two steps back. He swallowed his saliva and explained to him, “I’ve only heard a little about it. The people above seem to have made some kind of deal with Hephaestus on the Mountain of G.o.ds. We provide him with the Crimson Flame Stone, and he’ll give us some benefits. As for what exactly it is, I really don’t know. You have to go and see it yourself.”
Andrew’s face darkened. He muttered to himself.
“It’s the Mountain of G.o.ds again. It seems that the lesson time was not enough.”
However, he only said the sentence in a low voice. Then, he turned around and looked at Wallace, who was standing at the side.
After sizing him up, Andrew waved his hand. He turned around and said to the bearded man, “If that’s the case, I won’t make things difficult for you. But let me tell you, if anyone dares to cause trouble for Wallace, you’d better know what’s coming for you.”
The bearded man nodded at him and spoke confidently, “I can guarantee you that as long as I’m here, I won’t let him suffer any grievances.”
Hearing his flattering words, Andrew’s lips curled up slightly. He turned to Wallace, staring at him for a while. He then walked towards him and said, “I know what you’re worried about.
“But don’t be afraid. If anyone here dares to target you because of what happened today, you can come to the Martial Arts Bureau to find me.”
Andrew did this for his own selfish reasons. After all, Wallace had kindly brought him in, and he had just offended someone outside.
Judging from his strength and position, that guy must be above Wallace. If he really went to find trouble with Wallace, he might really lose his job.
After dealing with everything in front of him, he turned around and walked out, not giving the bearded man any time to react.
However, just as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped. Without turning his head, he said coldly to the man, who was still in a daze, “I’ll give you an hour. Tell your superiors to meet me at the Crimson Flame Stone mine. If I don’t see them after an hour, none of you will be able to live.”
Andrew released his cultivation and leaped into the air. He disappeared into the sky above the building.
When the bearded man heard his words, he was stunned. Before he could react, he found that Andrew had already disappeared.
He slowly let out a sigh of relief. He could not help but raise his hand and wipe his forehead. Then, he randomly looked at the stunned Wallace.
After staring at Wallace for a while, he waved his hand and said coldly, “Alright, you can leave now. There’s nothing else for you to do here.”
Wallace quickly recovered and nodded respectfully.
Then, he walked out. After all, this was his first time entering this place. If it was in the past, with his level, he wouldn’t be qualified at all.
However, the bearded man had already given the order to leave, so he could not stay here any longer.
Just as he walked out of the room, he saw the person who had shouted at him in front of Andrew.
This made him feel a little nervous. He immediately lowered his head and walked to the side. Before he took two steps, the person just now walked towards him with a cold expression.
He did not give Wallace a chance to react. He slapped him across the face once again.
“Weren’t you f*cking arrogant just now? Where’s that imposing manner of yours? If you have the guts, bring it out again. And that person who just came with you? Ask him to come out.”
Hearing his angry tone, Wallace lowered his head. He covered his face with one hand and said apologetically, “We were wrong just now. I’m here to apologize to you. Please forgive us.”
At that moment, the bearded man walked out with a solemn expression.
He looked at Wallace, who was covering his face with one hand. In an instant, he understood what had happened.
He walked towards the person who had just attacked Wallace. He did not say a word and directly slapped him on the face.
He then looked at Wallace. After sizing him up for a moment, he said, “Return the favor now.”
Wallace was stunned. When he saw his serious expression, he could only raise his hand and walk towards the person who had attacked him just now.
On the other side, after Andrew walked out of the government, he returned to the mine.
The scenery surprised him a little. He did not expect that Howard would attack so quickly.
He had only left for a short while. When he returned, he discovered that there were four or five corpses lying in the mine.
Of course, this included the Atlantean disciples, but Andrew had never seen the others before.
