Andrew replied calmly, “Victoria is a woman who could be your brains out.”
Riker let out a sinister laugh. “Is that so? Well, I’ll be waiting; to see that! Now let’s head back and fulfill the conditions we agreed on earlier. You can’t shortchange men a single thing. Otherwise, I’ll skin you alive and show you what it means to wish you were dead.”
Andrew suddenly asked, “From the Goldridge city gate, my people should be able to reach the highway by now, right?”
Riker was taken aback and reluctantly replied, “You can barely protect yourself, yet you’re still worried about your women. You really are quite the romantic! I might as well tell you. Yes, they can reach the highway by now. Your people don’t matter anyway. No one’s chasing them. You, on the other hand, should be worrying about yourself.”
Andrew grinned and said, “Good, so they made it to the highway. That means I can stop holding back. And now I can blow your damn head off, Riker.”
In one sharp move, Andrew smashed his elbow straight at Riker’s skull.
Riker roared in rage, pulled back, and tried to slam his knee into Andrew’s chest with full force.
Suddenly, an explosive aura exploded from Andrew’s body, and all four tires of the moving SUV burst simultaneously. The vehicle screeched before flipping off the side of the road.
Riker’s roar echoed for 30 meters. “Everyone on alert! Don’t let that bastard get away!”
The other vehicles accelerated to catch up and surrounded them completely.
Inside the wrecked SUV, Andrew leaned back and crushed the chest of a Hidden Dragons thug sitting beside him. Blood gushed out from the guy’s mouth as he collapsed.
Furious beyond belief, Riker launched a barrage of punches at Andrew, fists flying like a storm aimed straight at his head.
In the cramped back seat space, Andrew used his hands and legs alternately, exchanging over 100 blows with Riker in mere moments. Then, he grabbed Riker’s fist with a swift motion, and the two men began wrestling for control inside the swaying vehicle.
Two muffled snaps echoed as Riker felt the bones in his hand start to splinter. He froze as disbelief washed over him.
He had trained his fists for years, conditioning them with iron sand daily. His iron punches could go head–to- head with an industrial press. Yet now, Andrew was crushing his hands like brittle twigs with bare palms.
Riker could not begin to understand the level of strength this required.
Andrew growled, his voice cold, “Riker, if I weren’t worried about my people’s safety, you think I’d waste a second on someone like you? You think you matter? You’re just a nobody playing boss in one of Gabo Creek’s so- called top three gangs! You’re nothing but trash, and you think you can negotiate with me?”
A fierce glint flashed in Andrew’s eyes. If not for Lauren and the other two women being involved, he would have already dealt with Henry. Riker would not even be worth mentioning.
He had nothing to lose in Goldridge, so if it came down to chaos, so be it.
“Andrew, let go of me!” Riker’s face turned red as he tried to break free, only to discover he could not move at all.
Andrew suddenly kicked the front seat and used the force to launch Riker out the window. Then, he lunged

Riker howled and hammered his fists into Andrew’s abdomen, but the latter just grinned as he took two hits to his chest and stomach. Aside from some minor pain, it did not affect him at all.
However, his counterattack was far from soft. One of his hands choked Riker while the other slammed straight into his face.
Immediately, Riker’s already rough features became a bloody mess. Blood seeped out from between his tightly clenched teeth.”
Then, Andrew delivered two more punches to his head.
Riker’s vision went black, and he nearly passed out on the spot. Andrew’s fists were like sledgehammers. When swung with full force, nothing could withstand them, especially not his face.
At that moment, the SUV, stripped of its tires, finally flipped completely onto its side.
