"... It's me."

Unlike the other's deliberate arrogance, Andrew remained calm, "And who are you?"

A cloud happened to drift overhead.

Amidst the play of light and shadow, the other people besides the burly young man also took their seats at the scene.

On the surface, it looked like a group of young people coming together for a drink.

In reality, a tense atmosphere was spreading in the air at the scene.

Andrew took in this formation with an unreadable expression, but inwardly he gradually understood: "These guys, like Havier, probably have a grudge against me. But judging by this aggressive stance, it's more like they're well-prepared!"

He glanced at Barbara, meaning: People sent by your mother?

Barbara understood Andrew's look, and slightly nodded: Probably.

Yes, this group of young individuals, all formidable in strength, must have come to trouble him with Barbara's mother's tacit approval.

Or rather, to "discipline" him.

"So if I just woke up, then Barbara's mother probably already got the news." Andrew pondered quickly, "She didn't choose to meet me in person, but decided to give me a show of force in this way to make me submit! Then she can naturally take over me, Ivan, and the entire Wildfire Territory?"

Understanding this point, Andrew felt a mix of hidden anger because this was simply not the way to treat a guest!

On the other hand, instinctively, he moved his fingers under the table. Although his eyes seemed calm, unimaginably so for someone his age, they harbored extremely sharp intensity!

Since traversing this Flame Realm, due to the Fire Extinguishing Upgrade Method, Andrew's speed in upgrading through extinguishing fires has been somewhat too fast.

This is undoubtedly a good thing.

But at the same time, it brings a problem, which is that Andrew himself, due to the rapid progress, lacks a clear self-awareness of his combat power.

After merging the Gate of Enlightenment and becoming a Magic Lord, Andrew embarked on a new cultivation path based on but different from traditional Water Magic, lacking a lateral comparison, he didn't know the depth of his own strength.

Until three days ago, in the battle with the female assassin.

Under extreme pressure, Andrew used the female assassin as a "mirror" and reference point to have a more intuitive understanding of his strength after breaking through to Tier Three for the first time.

He realized what he could roughly achieve and where the boundaries were.

"To sum it up in one sentence, I am basically 'invincible' among the younger generation in this Flame Realm now."

This isn't blind confidence from Andrew but rather a preliminarily confirmed recognition.

"Excluding individual monstrously strong outliers, I am the ceiling of the younger generation. With my current strength, if I were to face Rose or Fleur again, Tier Three versus Tier Three, seemingly the same tier, I am confident in crushing them in a very short time!"

Andrew's understanding of his own strength gradually became clearer.

The problem is whether these guys in front of him are aware of it?

It's not just them, even the president's wife behind them, including other high-ups of the Warm Fire Commerce Association, even with first-hand intelligence from Barbara about Andrew, they probably lack a clear and accurate judgment of Andrew's strength.

Otherwise, the information the female assassin obtained from inside the Warm Fire Commerce Association wouldn't have underestimated Andrew's resistance ability, resulting in the assassination three days ago failing to be lethal!

Back to the present.

Take this arrogant burly young man in front of him for example.

Andrew could see the other was definitely at a Tier Three level, which is the ceiling for the younger generation.

Judging by the aura, the momentum, and the subtle details in the series of actions from approaching to sitting down that ordinary people couldn't notice, Andrew thought this person might even be stronger than Rose and Fleur.

However, at the moment the other sat down, Andrew was already confident he could subdue him!

The other, however, was completely unaware of this.

Not far away, a bright girl with long hair down to her waist, wearing a pair of agate earrings, called out to a still sullen Havier, "Sit down first, there's plenty of time to play slowly."

While speaking, she glanced at Andrew with a half-smile.

She deliberately emphasized the words "play slowly."

They were indeed here with the tacit approval of the president's wife, specifically targeting Andrew, to let this boy know: this is Warm Fire City! No matter who you are, you must obediently follow the rules of our Warm Fire Commerce Association! Even a giant dragon or fierce tiger must obediently kneel down and lie down!

Moreover, from this bright girl's perspective, there was a personal reason: she heard from Havier about this unknown, upstart lord Andrew, seeming to have some unclear and ambiguous relations with the third lady Barbara!

"I really can't stand this." The bright girl's thin lips slightly curled, sneering inwardly, "The third lady and my brother have long been implicitly agreed to form a pair, furthering into a marital relationship in the future.

What does this boy amount to? How can he compare with my brother!"

The seemingly harmonious and peaceful Warm Fire City is, in reality, filled with countless undercurrents.
