Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 2684

Mikayla’s expression grew grim as well. “Dad, you’re worried about Andrew interfering, aren’t you?” Lorenzo nodded slowly. “Yes, if this guy hadn’t shown up, I could easily devour the Advanced Medical Institute without even lifting a finger. I could take the whole thing without breaking a sweat. But he just won’t leave us alone. He actually showed up here. Without a doubt, he must be scheming something. So I need to be fully prepared.” Mikayla growled, “Dad, I can hold off Jerome. And you can take out Andrew directly. Not many people in Chetvine know your true strength.

With Mr. Vazquez covering for you, it’ll have an unexpected advantage; we can definitely make Andrew suffer badly, if not kill him outright.” Lorenzo shook his head. “Unless absolutely necessary, don’t engage him directly. Currently, our top priority is to achieve promotion to noble house status for the Owens family. As for everything else, we shouldn’t make unnecessary, powerful enemies.” Mikayla huffed indignantly. “Dad, are you actually afraid of him?” Lorenzo smiled. “Afraid of him? Not at all. With my third-tier martial emperor strength, I could even possibly kill him.

—- However, the Lloyd royal family backing Andrew isn’t something our family can afford to provoke just yet. Mr. Vazquez has already dealt with them before. Above all, we need to play it safe. Only when the Owens family climbs to noble house status will we have the power to truly make waves.” Mikayla smiled. “Alright then. I’ll just wait to be the number one heiress of the noble house! When that happens, what will Andrew have to compete with me?” Lorenzo was ina good mood and was about to respond when his eyebrows lifted slightly.

He turned toward the door and said, “Grand Elder, you’re here, aren’t you? Come in, and I’ll help you break through to the martial emperor level.” The door opened, and Corbin walked in with an excited expression. He gave Mikayla a polite nod before saying to Lorenzo, “Thank you so much, Mr. Owens Senior.” Lorenzo smiled. “Don’t mention it. Mr.

Vazquez sent me to help you stabilize the situation inside the Institute, and once you take the director’s seat, I can return and report my success.” Corbin said solemnly, “You’re practically helping me take full control of the Advanced Medical Institute. No matter what you —- ask for later, I’ll give it without hesitation. I won’t forget your help. Lorenzo replied with a meaningful smile. “That would be ideal. I just hope you won’t regret it later.” Corbin waved his concern away. “That won’t happen. Without you, I would never have had the chance to become the director. And besides, Ms.

Owens and Lennox are doing well together.” He grinned. “After I’m gone someday, the director’s seat will naturally pass to them. That way, the Owens family will be the Institute’s strongest allied force.” Lorenzo smiled politely and gestured to the spot in front of him.” Then sit, and we’ll begin.” Beneath the calm facade, a cold calculation had already begun in his mind. The Owens family was not here for gratitude or alliances. They wanted the director’s seat for themselves.

As for Corbin’s promise of passing the position to Lennox, Lorenzo almost laughed aloud, There was no way he would wait for that Besides, with Mikayla’s caliber and talent as a woman, did that worthless Lennox really think he could lay his hands on his daughter? How ridiculous! —- As Corbin sat down with his back facing him, Lorenzo slowly placed his palm on the man’s head. Soon, the power transfer began. However, Lorenzo’s eyes were filled with cold, murderous intent. The ultimate result he wanted meant that Corbin was destined to die a miserable death.
