Author: Only For You
Andrew shook his head. "There's no need for such formalities between us, Ms. Rhodes."

Lauren felt warmth in her heart at his words but still huffed, "Well, at least you have some conscience. I thought you'd forgotten all about me now that you're rekindling things with Ms. Stevens!"

Andrew gave a wry smile, wisely choosing not to explain. After all, some things would only get worse with explanation.

Later, they made their way out of the forest and found the Rhodes family security team. "Miss, thank goodness you're safe!" they exclaimed upon seeing Lauren.

"What happened to those thugs who ambushed us?" Lauren asked.

"Mr. Keoghan arrived and drove them all away," Eunice replied angrily. "He even killed a few of them."

"Jerry came? Where is he?" Lauren asked excitedly. Just then, a muscular middle-aged man strode toward them with purposeful steps.

"Miss, where's Tracia? I don't see her," he asked.

"Tracia is dead," Lauren replied coldly.

Jerry Keoghan, the Rhodes family'

    Yara declared, "Because even though Quinton is a beast, I'm no pushover either. The one time he tried to assault me, I almost made mashed potatoes out of his balls. In return, he broke half my ribcage, but in the end, I still didn't submit, and from then on, I became a shadow in his mind." Andrew smiled and said, "You're a tough one." The two got out of the car and stood side by side, watching the bustling construction site before them. Yara pointed in one direction and said to Andrew, "That area over there is where they're building standalone luxury villas. The pricing has already been planned—500 million each, making it the most luxurious residential area in all of Blumedale. Even compared to The Sovereign Residences, it might lack heritage, but not opulence." Andrew nodded and asked, "So this entire construction site belongs to you?" Yara responded with a hint of pride, "Of course! Currently, I'm the only person in the Wright family who can threaten Quinton. Once this site

    The Wrights, one of the Five Apex Families, built their empire on real estate as their pillar industry. As everyone knew, property developers were typically extremely wealthy. Of course, they could also be extremely indebted, like Grandever Holdings, which currently owed the government two trillion dollars and ranked among the most indebted companies in history. However, the Wrights were nothing like Grandever Holdings. In Gabo Creek province, the Wright name had always been prestigious and unwavering. Like many patriarchs of first-class families, the head of the Wrights was also quite a ladies' man. In his younger years, unable to control his libido, Kevin Wright had pursued women everywhere, frequenting exclusive clubs. This behavior had resulted in numerous offspring, with Yara being one of the victims. After a brief conversation with Yara in the car, Andrew understood the situation. It seemed that Kevin, having grown older and had diminished vitality, could no longer keep

    Tiana asked, "So now you understand why I've always said you can't have relations with her, right?" Andrew had not expected the treasure map to involve such a secret requirement. "Virgin blood makes the Rhodes family's map fragment visible? That's quite unusual! But Mrs. Rhodes, why does the fragment I got from Mr. Bates at Oak Apothecary already have visible lines?" Tiana replied, "There's nothing strange about that. Ronan probably used the virgin blood of a Bates family descendant to make the lines on his fragment appear early. That's why the Bates family was targeted so early—a foolish, self-destructive move!" Andrew frowned. "So, according to what you're saying, all the treasure map fragments require virgin blood from descendants of their guardians?" Tiana nodded. "That's exactly right. The Rhodes family fragment has been sealed away, and no blood has been applied to make it visible. That's why Jameson and the previous generations of the Rhodes family haven't been targeted

    After several rounds of drinks, Andrew was full and satisfied, ready to leave. Lauren said, "Dr. Lloyd, I'll walk you out." Andrew was about to agree when Tiana interjected, "Lauren, you don't need to get up. I'll see Andrew off." Andrew smiled and said, "It's fine, Mrs. Rhodes. You should rest more. Lauren can walk me out." Tiana had already stood up and said expressionlessly, "I'll do it. Don't argue." Andrew had no choice but to silently curse this crazy woman, wondering what new trick she was planning. He obediently got up and, accompanied by Tiana, walked out of the Rhodes residence. Outside the main gate, Tiana smiled and said, "Andrew, I need to thank you personally for what happened today. Honestly, I never thought I would reach the martial king level one day." For a family like the Rhodes, producing a martial king was an extraordinary achievement, as warriors of that caliber were typically only found in top-tier families like the Five Apex Families. Andrew wave

    "Jameson, since Andrew doesn't like it, stop fussing! Just prepare a table full of delicious food, and we'll eat, drink, and chat as a family!" Tiana said. She had changed into fresh clothes and wore a frosty expression, walked out gracefully, accompanied by Lauren. Andrew looked up and caught Tiana's gaze directly focused on him. Their eyes met briefly in the air between them. Andrew immediately looked away, pretending to act natural. A subtle, ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of Tiana's lips, showing her delight. The smile was so slight that no one except Andrew noticed it. Jameson chuckled and said, "That works too. We'll follow your arrangement. It's perfect timing for Andrew to join me for a few drinks." Soon, the Rhodes family banquet was set up. Besides Jameson's family, the elders of the Rhodes family also joined in. The conversation inevitably centered around how Tiana's martial arts could finally uphold the Rhodes family's reputation. From then on, the Rhode

    Half a day had passed, but Jameson, Lauren, and several key members of the Rhodes family still waited anxiously in the backyard of the Rhodes residence, outside the secret chamber, "Mr. Rhodes, do you think something might have gone wrong?" an elderly man could not help asking. Jameson waved his hand dismissively. "No, I trust Andrew. With his abilities, even if Tiana doesn't succeed, she shouldn't be in any danger!" Lauren reassured herself. "Yes, I believe in Andrew! Both he and Mom will definitely be fine!" At that moment, the stone door of the secret chamber slid open on both sides. Lauren looked over immediately and exclaimed with delight, "Andrew, is it over? Wait, why do you look like that?" The chamber was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen. Andrew emerged holding onto the doorframe, his body completely soaked with sweat. With a weak smile on his face, he addressed the Rhodes family members, "It's over. Mrs. Rhodes is fine." As for why he looked the w

    Yet strangely, this crazy woman's words were always ambiguous and arousing. If someone else had been in Andrew's place, he would have been shocked if Tiana had remained unscathed afterward. Sometimes, Andrew truly could not understand why Tiana, a beautiful woman in her 40s, would behave like those girls in their 20s. She bewitched minds, exuded seduction to the bone, and in front of men, she would tease and flaunt her feminine allure unrestrained. At her age, with a husband and daughter, would it kill her to be more proper and dignified? But on second thought, Andrew realized that Tiana had always been cold and ruthless, strict and meticulous—even Jameson and Lauren feared her. She certainly was not some loose woman, and in front of other men, she appeared unapproachable, icy, and pure. She only went crazy and acted abnormally when dealing with her son-in-law. His father was undoubtedly a factor, as Tiana saw him as his father's reflection, but did she really have no other un

    What was this dual cultivation technique? Andrew was not some naive rookie who knew nothing about it. This method persisted from ancient times to the present and could be described as notoriously well-known. Put simply, the dual cultivation technique involved a man and woman joining bodies, harmonizing feminine and masculine energies, extracting each other's essence, and refining it into their own bodies. The practice was originally developed by Torasesy practitioners as a gentle, non-harmful method that was once celebrated and discussed enthusiastically. However, like any beautiful thing in this world, it could not escape one fundamental rule: beauty would eventually fall and become corrupted. The dual cultivation technique was no exception. By modern times, countless practitioners viewed it as a deviant practice. This led to predatory "energy vampires" who drained countless virgins to refine dark powers and vindictive women who seduced innocent men, demanding their en

    Tiana felt deeply ashamed about this situation, but she consistently refused to admit anything was wrong with her feelings. She was the type of person who, even after making a mistake, stubbornly refused to back down. Wisps of heat began radiating from Tiana's body and head. Andrew's expression turned solemn as he recognized they had reached a critical moment in the energy channeling process. Following Tiana's guidance, his palms began moving across the pressure points on her body. These moments severely tested Andrew's nerves and willpower. After all, he was neither a saint nor immune to temptation. Andrew hated to admit it, but Tiana's figure was indeed perfect. Each time their skin made contact, Tiana would release unnatural murmurs, which only tortured Andrew more. The small chamber quickly filled with mist as time passed. A martial king's power relied on immense internal energy and bodily strength. Combined with Andrew's powerful medicinal pills, Tiana had become a walkin
