Chapter 2056
The big guy on the left snorted coldly, “Get lost, our boss doesn’t meet with strangers.”
Eric crossed his arms and struck a cocky pose. “I’m not a stranger. Anyone in Goldridge who doesn’t
know my name hasn’t been born yet. Go inside and announce my arrival right now.”
This time, the big guy on the right spoke rudely, “Eric Humphrey? Sorry, but I’ve really never heard that
name before. Pretty boy, we don’t care how you got here. But if you don’t get lost now, you’ll be spitting
your own teeth and blood next.”
Being blocked repeatedly, Eric’s patience was nearly exhausted. The main issue was that this was too damn embarrassing.
He used to be a big shot in Goldridge, the adopted son of the Southern Martial Union’s leader, a household
name and genius in Goldridge. But today, for some unknown reason, no one was giving him face or even claiming to know him.
With Andrew watching from the side, Eric really felt this was too damn humiliating.
Holding his breath, Eric’s fists cracked as he prepared to fight directly.
At the last moment, Andrew once again placed his hand on Eric’s shoulder. “This isn’t how you go about
asking people for information. Step aside and watch me work.”
Eric’s pride stung even worse at Andrew’s calm tone. Grinding his teeth, he stepped back. “Fine, you try. But this is Goldridge, not Blumedale. If your fancy name works here, then pigs really can fly!”
Andrew ignored his sulking and faced the guards with a smile. “Gentlemen, my name is Andrew Lloyd, and I’m from Gabo Creek. I don’t have much of a reputation or fancy titles. All I’ve got is money, and I’ve spent some time in Goldridge before. So, do me a favor and tell your boss I came to bring him cash.”
Eric scoffed loudly, his face full of disdain. “Andrew, talking about money here won’t get you anywhere. Nobody in Goldridge is short on cash. That trick is childish, straight out of the countryside.”
However, Andrew’s grin did not fade.
The guards exchanged a look, and one of them asked carefully, “Andrew Lloyd… Wait, are you the Mr. Andrew Lloyd of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce? The one who slaughtered his way through the McCormicks and the Hidden Dragons here in Goldridge?”
Andrew adjusted his suit jacket and nodded. “That would be me. I didn’t expect you two to know my name.”
Instantly, both guards‘ expressions flipped to eager smiles. They were almost fawning as they gestured him inside.

“Mr. Lloyd, what an honor to have you here. Please, come in. Our boss hates Riker Lamar of the Hidden
Dragons; your name here is nothing short of legendary.”
Eric froze on the spot, utterly dumbstruck. Andrew, who had only been in Goldridge once, was already
more famous than him. His head spun as he clutched his temples, feeling like he had wasted the entire
first half of his life.
“Why? That’s so unfair!” Eric grumbled.
After venting his frustration in the empty hallway, he still hurried to catch up. He was afraid Andrew
would leave first, and he would get blocked again! 3
