It seemed that if Luna or Valerie dared to interfere, Onyx and Ivory would kill them just the same. The two women were shocked and furious, tensing their bodies as they prepared for a life-or-death battle.
At the last second, Andrew lifted Sheena into his arms and shouted, "This may be your Swordhaven Keep, and you can certainly wipe us all out if you want. But what you might not know is that your three sons are already in my hands. If Sheena and I don't make it out of here alive, your sons will turn into nothing but shriveled corpses."
Alfredo's brows twitched, his tone icy. "What did you just say?"
Andrew grinned. "I said, your three sons, including your favorite, Jericho. These three little mutts are all under my control right now. If you dare give us trouble, I'll make sure they all suffer fates worse than death."
Alfredo's grip on his sword suddenly tightened, and he said furiously, "Andrew, you're truly Reginald's son. Well, well… You played the preemptive move well, but did you really think that'd make me let you go? This is Swordhaven Keep. Do you really think you can threaten me here?"
The longsword in his hand began to vibrate with a humming sound, ready to be drawn at any moment.
Andrew's focus became razor-sharp and intense.
Alfredo's sword would undoubtedly strike with lightning speed once drawn, and it was controlled by his willpower. One moment of inattention could cost Andrew his life.
"It looks like you don't care whether your sons live or die. In that case, let's see who's more ruthless," Andrew said with a laugh, his expression growing even more vicious.
Onyx and Ivory pulled back their attacks, and one of them said to Alfredo, "Mr. Topsfield Senior, the three have indeed disappeared."
Alfredo fell silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "Those useless fools. Always ruining things at the worst time."
The other chimed in quickly, "Even Mr. Jericho has fallen into Andrew's hand… Mr. Topsfield Senior, I believe we should rescue them first before doing anything else."
Everyone present, including those from Swordhaven Keep, was utterly shocked. None of them had expected Alfredo to be cornered like this.
The Dragon Prince from the Lloyd family of Chetvine really lived up to his name.
The two martial emperors who had come to observe the battle exchanged glances. One shook his head, while the other fell silent, waiting to see what Alfredo would do next.
Under everyone's gaze, Alfredo simply uttered, "Kill them."
