In just one night, the McDaniel family estate was completely destroyed and unrecognizable.
In Sunstrand City, Andrew met Eric at the agreed location, and Jerome was there as well. Seeing Eric's tense expression, Andrew immediately guessed that father and son had not spoken on good terms.
"Mr. Thornton, thank you for showing up last night and saving me," Andrew said with a smile as he stepped forward.
Jerome waved his hand and smiled. "There's no need to call it saving. Even if I hadn't come, I believe with your strength, you wouldn't have been in too much danger."
Andrew quickly replied with humility. "Not at all, Mr. Thornton. Last night, I almost lost my life."
Jerome's gaze sharpened as he stared at him. "I didn't expect your mastery of Inferno Strike to be so refined already. This technique has incredible potential and unmatched power. I couldn't practice it myself due to the arts I had already chosen and my own limitations, but I never thought its true fated successor would be you.
"You've already reached the second stage in such a short time. Given more time, you'll reach the final third stage. By then, I might not even be your match."
Andrew took out the token containing the Inferno Strike records and handed it over. "Mr. Thornton, learning the Inferno Strike was purely accidental on my part. Now, I'm returning it to you!"
Jerome shook his head. "I already told you: this martial art has found its destined practitioner. From now on, it belongs to you. Only someone like you can unleash the true domineering power of the Inferno Strike."
As he spoke, he looked at Andrew with eyes full of admiration and emotion.
Jerome himself was no ordinary person, but seeing Andrew rise so quickly with such monstrous talent, he could not help but feel stirred inside.
