Logan instinctively stepped forward, panicked, ready to intervene. However, Andrew stopped him. "No rush. Mr. Keller Senior needs to burn off some of that energy first. That way, it'll be easier for me to treat him afterward."
Logan's voice trembled. "Dr. Lloyd, my father is not going to get hurt, right?"
Andrew smirked. "Relax. Mr. Keller Senior will be fine. If anyone's in danger, it's probably Dr. Lake."
Mosby and George had already gone head-to-head in combat. However, George looked completely possessed, growling like a wild beast, clearly stripped of rationality. His physical strength was nothing short of monstrous.
Every vase, table, and piece of furniture in the room that stood in his way was shattered to dust under his fists. He held nothing back.
Chantelle's eyes widened. "That strength… Has Mr. Keller Senior reached martial king level?"
Logan sighed, conflicted. "That was originally a tightly guarded secret of the Keller family. No outsiders were supposed to know. But now that he's lost control like this… there's no point hiding it anymore.
"Yes. My father was attempting to break through into the martial king level. He wanted to become the strongest leader in our family's history—but that's what caused this."
Andrew's tone turned cold. "So your father isn't sick at all. He just went off course during his training. This is energy corruption—a botched cultivation that's turned inward. You've been wasting your time bringing in those so-called medical experts.
"In the end, not only did they fail to help him, but a few of them might end up losing their lives right here."
Logan forced a bitter smile. "That's pretty much the situation. Dr. Lloyd… do you have a solution?"
Andrew shrugged. "Sure, I do. But for now, let's enjoy Dr. Lake's performance."
Chantelle warned sharply, "Andrew, don't act so smug. If even Dr. Lake can't handle it, then you should be the last person talking. If you get yourself killed trying to act important, no one will bother saving you."
Andrew replied lightly, "Don't worry, Ms. Garcia. I'll protect my life very carefully—for the sake of seeing you naked."
Chantelle was livid. Was this bastard really so confident he was going to win that bet?
