Chapter 207 Out of respect for me , Silas said calmly , how about we let this one go ? Finley scoffed , resting his sword over his shoulder with an arrogant smirk .

Let this one go ? Sorry , Mr.

Vaughn , even if youre personally here to plead , this little punk will bleed out on the spot tonight .

The onlookers tensed , shocked that Finley would not even show respect to the auction host .

Then again , the Hidden Dragons reputation was formidable enough to back Finleys audacity .

Most spectators silently fretted .

If even Silas could not control Finley , Andrew might be in grave danger .

However , Silas looked at Finley as if he were an idiot .

He barked , You fool , when I said to let this slide , did you think I was begging you ? The crowd was stunned by Silas words .

Finley froze and darkly replied , Silas , I dont owe you any respect just because youre Radiant Groups CEO .

Youd better back off .

Silas raised a finger , nearly poking Finley in the face .

You little brat , youre nothing more .

than some minor relative of the sect leader , riding on the Hidden Dragons coattails to throw your weight around .

He continued , Others might tolerate you , but I wont .

And let me make one thing clear- Radiant Group answers to the Onyx Serpents .

Do you really think youre untouchable ? Well , we dont fear you .

Finleys face instantly paled .

Among Gabo Creeks three martial arts clans , the Onyx Serpents and Hidden Dragons were sworn enemies .

Acting up on Onyx Serpents territory was practically suicide , and even Hidden Dragons could not protect him if something happened .

To everyones amazement , Silas hurried over to Andrew with a respectful smile .

Mr.

Lloyd , welcome to our establishment .

Please be merciful and overlook this incident .

Andrew raised an eyebrow .

Mr.

Vaughn , are you trying to protect this idiot ? The Onyx Serpents and Hidden Dragons are mortal enemies .

Why would I protect him ? Silas explained with a wry smile .

Its just that if you handle him here at our doorstep , Hidden Dragons might come asking questions later , causing unnecessary trouble .

Andrew nodded thoughtfully .

Fine .

Ill let it slide for you .

Silas face lit up with joy .

Thank you for your generosity , Mr.

Lloyd .

Please , come with me .

Weve prepared The Vault just for you .

Without hesitation , Andrew strode into the auction hall , flanked by Lauren and Francesca .

For a moment , the crowd was stunned .

Then , an uproar erupted .

Who the hell is this guy ? Why is Mr.

Vaughn treating him with such respect ? Did you see that ? Silas completely dismissed Finley like he was a nobody , but he practically groveled before Andrew like he was someone untouchable ! Its unbelievable ! Michael , Harvey , and even Finley all got put in their place by this newcomer tonight .

Finleys face darkened as he listened to the discussions .noveldrama

He had expected Silas to bow to him , but instead , Silas had shown him no respect and kowtowed to Andrew .

The contrast made it clear to everyone that Finley was nothing compared to Andrew .
