Chapter 571 Finley silently cursed his hotheaded men .

In Jayrodale , Andrew had become a powerful figure with both Dylan and Natasha at his beck and call .

With thousands of underground enforcers present , anyone reckless enough to start trouble would be hacked to pieces .

He sighed deeply , recalling his younger days when he had been just as cocky .

Back then , fresh from Hidden Dragons , he thought he could take on anyone and anything Nonetheless , after countless humiliations and close calls in Jayrodale , Finley had learned the harshness of reality .

The beatdowns , betrayals , and lures of the underworld had drained his fighting spirit .

Recently , he had even sought help to a therapist .

Stay put .

Today , were just here to watch , he muttered , downing his drink .

Right now , Andrew isnt someone we can handle .

But dont worry , plenty of others want him gone .

The Hidden Dragons enforcers exchanged uneasy glances .

They could not believe how much Finley had changed .

He used to be a ruthless tyrant , seizing wealth and women at will .

Now , he was playing it safe , almost scared .

Meanwhile , Rodney from the Madblade Martial Academy approached Andrew , carrying a black , gold trimmed tray ..

Andrew , congratulations ! Rodney greeted with a warm smile .

This is a token of our academys appreciation , We wish you great success .

Please , accept it .

Rodneys demeanor was courteous , without a hint of hostility .

Behind him , the other Madblade students stood tall and composed , saluting Andrew .

Congratulations , Dr.

Lloyd ! May your name as a miracle doctor echo for generations ! they shouted in unison , their voices loud and clear across the entire venue .

For a moment , the entire crowd froze in shock , wondering what was going on .

They were shocked that the Madblade Martial Academy had shown up to offer congratulations instead of causing trouble .

Even Lauren and Francesca blinked in disbelief .
