Chapter 1653

Author: Only For You
It was actually Shiloh!

The same Shiloh whom Andrew had reached out to back in Jayrodale, a mysterious figure from an ancient Torasesy lineage. Technically, she was a centuries-old nun, but her youthful appearance was that of a vibrant girl in her early 20s.

She stood there now, fists clenched, glaring daggers at Andrew.

Lauren and Francesca did not quite know what to do.

Francesca, being more familiar with Shiloh, quickly forced a smile. "Shiloh, what are you doing here?"

"Weren't you in Jayrodale, staying at the Moonlit Apothecary with Grandpa Cedric?"

Shiloh's face was icy. "Yeah, I was with Cedric, staying at Moonlit Apothecary."

She turned to Andrew and added, "But you promised to help cure my memory loss and immortality issue. It's been so long. Do you have any updates?"

Andrew smiled bitterly. "Shiloh, both of your conditions are very unusual. For now, I don't have any good solutions."

Shiloh looked somewhat angry. "So you've made no progress at all? I trusted

    Andrew said calmly, "Since when were titles and power reserved for noble blood? In the past, sure, the Divine Alchemists ruled everything. However, alchemy is the lifeline of every martial artist in the world, and though I'm just a ninth-grade supreme alchemist, I believe I can challenge them." He met her silence through the veil, a silence that stretched much longer than before. After what felt like ages, Elaine finally spoke, her voice sounding uncertain. "Did you just say… you're already a ninth-grade supreme alchemist?" Andrew smiled. "As real as it gets. Otherwise, Ms. Theron, where do you think all those supreme elixirs came from? Elaine sighed. "Alright, I can't find any reason not to believe you. I didn't expect you to have such accomplishments in alchemy as well. I take back what I said earlier. You're no longer the elegant young man from before, but your charm has only increased. And don't think I'm being shallow. Men need absolute strength to back them up." Andrew

    Elaine huffed. "Just speaking about the gift itself, of course, I'm satisfied. This would be enough to marry a few legitimate young ladies from the Reyes family. But Valerie isn't just any ordinary bloodline member of the Reyes family. She's Finnegan's most beloved daughter, and also the Reyes family's most promising young talent. You're really putting me in a difficult position by doing this." Andrew shrugged. "I don't think there's anything difficult about it. Both our sides have sufficient strength and prestigious reputations; we're respectable people. And the gift I'm offering is sincere enough. So you really don't need to trouble yourself over this. In my opinion, just agree to it, and we can discuss a date for the two of them to tie the knot." Elaine gave a sharp, amused laugh. "You're really something, aren't you? Everyone knows Valerie isn't just another member of the Reyes family, yet you talk like it's your right to decide her future. Fine then… Let's do this properly. I'

    Despite Elaine's disdain, Andrew remained calm. He said, "Ms. Theron, everything in this world depends on human effort. I believe nothing is impossible. Generally speaking, impossible things are only impossible because the price hasn't been set right. As long as the price is right, even mortal enemies can bury the hatchet and make peace, can't they?" Elaine let out a sharp, incredulous laugh. "Oh, really? Go ahead and name your price. You actually think you can put a number on Valerie? You're arrogant beyond measure. Even if it were you asking to marry Valerie, it would still be a nightmare of politics and power, not something you can buy with words." Andrew did not waste words and pulled out an unremarkable bottle. Inside were ten ninth-grade supreme elixirs he had refined. In terms of value, they were enough to drive even martial emperors crazy and make them fight desperately to obtain them. Taking two steps forward, Andrew approached the gauze curtain. From behind it, Elaine

    Andrew chuckled. "Of course it's necessary. Ms. Theron, it's not like you haven't seen old men in their 70s finding new love and marrying girls barely out of high school. Sure, Amari's a little older, but who says he can't get married? For all we know, he might even have a kid or two and keep the family line going." Elaine snorted. "Fine, what you said makes sense. At least you two have the qualifications and confidence to speak like this in front of me. However, which young lady in our family has Mr. Goodman set his sights on? The Reyes family's women aren't wildflowers by the roadside. You know that marrying one of our family's daughters isn't something just anyone can accomplish. Moreover, Mr. Goodman is indeed quite old." Andrew smiled. "That's actually simple. A big age gap can be filled with true love. And as for where true love comes from, that's easy too: money, power, and luxury. I'm sure you get what I mean." From behind the curtain came a faint, flustered sound, half s

    Elaine remained cold as she replied," Yes, what you said is a fact. Though I'm reluctant, I have to admit that right now, our family isn't qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as the Lloyd royals. However, you're even aware of the Umbral Peak Sect behind our family." She continued, "Andrew, it seems you've gone through quite a lot over the years. The charming young man you once were has turned into someone far more complicated and impossible to read. "Honestly, I still prefer how you looked back then, riding your horse by the bridge, with the whole city's beauties waving their handkerchiefs at you. Grown men sometimes aren't as likable. Just like women, after growing up, they become calculating, petty, and greedy for fame. It's never a good look." Andrew said calmly, "Thanks for the reminder. But what I've become wasn't decided by me. Everything is life's inevitability. Ms. Theron, you've spent your years behind the walls of power, commanding the world from your seat, sur

    "Originally, I didn't want to meet anyone from the Lloyd royal bloodline," Elaine said, her voice suddenly turning cold. "I hate every single one of them. No, hate isn't even strong enough. They disgust me. They make me sick to my stomach." She continued, "But you're different. First, because you're Reginald's son. And second, because I once saw you in person, and I still remember the impression you left. There are very few young men in this world like you. "The moment I saw you back then, I imagined that if I ever had a child, I'd want him to be like you. But fate is cruel. I'll never have children of my own in this lifetime. And for reasons I can't quite explain, that tiny, strange feeling made me break my own rule and grant you this meeting. So now, tell me what you came for. My patience is limited. You have three minutes." Andrew gave a small nod. Now this was how a true leader of a great family should carry herself. Cold, impatient, authoritative, and overwhelmingly compo
