Chapter 2082
Looking at the tears on Rowan’s face and her genuinely radiant smile, Andrew found himself somehow
flustered.
He quickly turned his head away and asked, “How did you end up getting captured and brought to the
McDaniel family?” 1
Rowan shook her head rapidly. “Don’t worry about me! Get out of here quickly, then leave the McDaniel
family estate immediately! Henry’s here too. If he discovers you, you’re dead!”
Andrew waved his hand dismissively. “I’m fine for now. I heard your argument with Eugene earlier.
Rowan, tell me the truth. Do the Onyx Serpents need help?”
Rowan froze, then gave a bitter smile. “The Onyx Serpents aren’t what they used to be. I’m just leading the survivors around with no place to call home. Honestly, telling you this changes nothing. Andrew, just go.
As for what you heard earlier, forget it. I’ll be fine.”
Andrew frowned. “I’m serious. You’re in trouble, aren’t you? Do you need help?”
Rowan’s pale face stiffened. “And I’m serious too. I said I’m fine. Even if I weren’t, I don’t need you risking
yourself. Got it? Just worry about your own safety!”
Andrew could not help but laugh in frustration. “I can help you, understand? I already saw Eugene’s true colors just now. He’s forcing you to become his woman, and you don’t want to. If that’s the case, then just leave this place. Take the Onyx Serpents people and go.”
Rowan sneered. “You make it sound so easy. The entire burden of the Onyx Serpents is on my shoulders
now. Either we disband on the spot, or where else can I go?”
Her face dimmed, her tone dripping with self–mockery. “Even if I wanted to leave, I couldn’t. Eugene won’t let me go, and neither will the McDaniels. Eugene wants me, and the McDaniel family wants to
swallow the Onyx Serpents whole.”
Andrew fell silent.
Both Rowan and the Onyx Serpents were nothing but prizes to the McDaniels. Moreover, Rowan herself
was born with winter’s essence.
She was a treasure to martial artists, as absorbing her essence would double their cultivation results.
“W–Why are you looking at me like that?” Seeing Andrew’s somewhat strange expression, Rowan instinctively covered her chest.
Her heart raced as she said, “Eugene may have sealed my martial arts, but that doesn’t mean I’m completely defenseless! Andrew, I still haven’t settled the score with you from back then. When I get the chance, I’ll definitely make you pay for what you did to me years ago.”

Andrew said impatiently, “You still remember those ancient grudges so clearly. Back then, you were skin and bones from your illness. I had no interest in you at all!”
Rowan’s face flushed with fury. She raised her hand, ready to slap him. She had always been pampered, and when she lost her temper, she had the habit of striking people.
Unfortunately for her, Andrew was not about to let her. He caught her delicate hand, gave it a tug, and
spun her around in place. The next second, she was mortified with shame. His hands had landed firmly
at her waist, holding her as though he were about to pull her into his arms.
“A–Andrew, you’re not allowed to treat me like this!” Rowan panicked, her words becoming incoherent.
Andrew snorted coldly. “Don’t make a sound!”
True energy surged from his palms and immediately flowed into her limbs and body. Instantly, the
martial arts seal placed on her was broken.
Rowan raised her hand, feeling her restored power. She exclaimed in shock, “A martial saint from the
McDaniel family personally sealed my abilities. Y–You can actually break through it?”
Andrew said disdainfully, “Forget about the McDaniel family’s martial saint. I don’t even take Nicholas,
the head of the McDaniel family, seriously. Alright, while it’s still dark outside, leave the McDaniel family
immediately!
“If you have nowhere to go, take your people to Blumedale. Once you arrive, just mention my name and
someone will help you!”
Seeing how seriously Andrew spoke, Rowan looked stunned. “A–Are you serious?”
Andrew laughed in exasperation. “What? You think I’m just bragging to you? I’ve wasted enough time here already, so move. I’ve got my own matters to handle.”
With that, he stepped forward and opened the door to leave. He had spent enough time playing hero here.
If Eric finished his search and could not find him, it would inevitably raise suspicions and cause more
problems.
“Andrew, wait a minute!”
