Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

As one of the Five Apex Families, the Peck family had always been extremely

domineering. Not only were their subordinates aggressive, but Calvin was also a

fierce character who never backed down.

Looking toward Tiana's side, Calvin said arrogantly, "Watch closely! You picked

this Andrew to be your son-in-law, but in my eyes, he's nothing more than a

glorified nobody. Today, I'll strip him down to his true form."

Tiana gave him a wry smile. "Are you really sure you want to step in personally?"

Calvin puffed out his chest. "As the head of the Peck family, giving this punk a

personal defeat is an honor. Honestly, if it weren't for your sake, I'd have sent any

one of my elites to flatten him."

Tiana snorted. "You've always been full of hot air since we were young. Fine then.

I'm curious to see how you plan to crawl out of this one."

With a heavy stomp, Calvin launched himself across a few meters in one

explosive leap, throwing a powerful flying kick toward Andrew.

"Let me show you that I still got it! Sure, it's your generation's time now, but I have

more experience on my hands!"

Andrew did not even look. He casually reached out and grabbed Calvin by the

ankle mid-air. Power immediately surged through his arm, and in the next

moment, he yanked Calvin and slammed him hard across the room.

"What—" Calvin's shock and fury exploded in one breath, not expecting to suffer

such a huge loss right from the start.

However, he had relied on massive amounts of pills to forcibly push his martial

arts to the martial king realm. After an awkward direction change in mid-air, he

finally managed to stumble to the ground. Yet, before he could catch his breath,

he felt everything go dark before his eyes.

The crowd of onlookers gasped in alarm. "Sir, get out of the way!"

Calvin silently cursed his bad luck. Even though he sensed impending disaster,

his body could not keep up.

Andrew moved quickly, slamming his elbow into Calvin's shoulder.

Calvin grunted and flew into a rage. "You little bastard, you're asking for death!"

Just as the angry curse left his mouth, Andrew delivered two brutal slaps to his

face.

These two slaps were delivered with Andrew's full strength, and Calvin was struck

so hard he saw stars and fell backward.noveldrama

Roaring in fury, he slapped the ground, sending dust flying as he used the

momentum to spring back up.

He launched a series of violent

attacks on Andrew, using pure

street-fighting tactics. Although his

attacks were powerful for a martial

king his speed and technique were

child's play in Andrew's eyes.

"Mr. Peck Senior, how do you manage to attack thin air like that?" Andrew's cold

voice echoed in his ears.

Calvin was both ashamed and

enraged as he spun around with an

explosive palm strike. The

shockwave shattered one of the

main pillars of the grand hall.

Andrew let out a soft, mocking laugh and pretended to go for Calvin's side.

Calvin's eyes lit up. "Got you now!"

But again, he swung at thin air. Not even a breeze touched Andrew.

From the spectators' perspective—Liliana, Miles, Tiana, and the others—the

whole thing looked like a farce.

Just moments ago, Calvin had been

speaking so confidently. Now, he

looked like a clown furiously

attacking the air around him.

When Andrew was on his left, he would run to attack the right. When Andrew

moved behind him, he would strike to the side.
