Chapter 326

Author: Only For You
Francesca voiced her concern, "Andrew, you don't know anything about antiques, let alone artifact authentication. Maybe we should bail—after all, this is Jayrodale, and even though we're dealing with Orion and Aspen, what's the worst they could do?"

Andrew raised an eyebrow and replied, "Who told you I don't know about antiques?"

He took the bronze statue from Cedric's hands, weighed it carefully, and turned to Orion. "Since you're letting me go first, I won't hold back. Now, why don't you authenticate this piece?"

Orion was stunned for a moment before breaking into laughter. "You fool, this is nothing but a fake, and you dare test me with it? Listen carefully—this is a replica of the famous piece from the Hall of Faith. Unfortunately for you, the original was destroyed during the civil wars of the early 20th century."

Several antique experts in the room nodded in agreement. "That's correct—this statue is just a replica," they chimed in.

"The original was destroyed long ago.

    Andrew scoffed. "So what if I offended her? I've said before that pride is Luna's greatest sin. One day, it'll come back to bite her." Chantelle shook her head. She agreed, "Pride is the deadliest sin, but before you start pointing fingers, maybe figure out who exactly is being prideful. Lucifer was prideful, sure, and so is Luna. But don't you think they earned that pride?" Andrew snickered. "Maybe they did, but just not in front of me." Chantelle gave a soft snort. "I can't argue with that stubborn mouth of yours. But let me remind you, the reason the Driscoll family has been holding back all this time is because Luna's been smoothing things out behind the scenes. Now that you two have openly fallen out, they won't be so polite anymore." Andrew did not respond and walked over to a large tree nearby. As he looked at it, he let out a low whistle. The thick tree now had a gaping hole right through it. And the craziest part? A single leaf caused it. Chantelle followed him.

    The next second, Leslie flushed with a mix of shame and rage as she realized Andrew had just played her like a fool. She stomped furiously, shouting, "Open the damn door or I'll break it down myself!" Right then, the door swung open, and Andrew appeared. He asked, "What brings you two here?" Andrew rubbed his ear. "Ah, my bad. I thought it was a dog barking outside. Didn't expect it to be you." Leslie's face twisted in fury. "Did you just call me a dog?" Andrew shrugged. "I didn't call you anything. You're the one who said it. It has nothing to do with me." Leslie clenched her jaw, about to explode. Just then, Luna's icy voice cut through. "That's enough." She glanced at Andrew, still as cold as ever. "Did you find that funny?" Andrew shrugged. "Kind of. So, Ms. Phelan, what brings you to my doorstep?" Luna let out a faint scoff. "Two things. First, like last time, I want you to teach me alchemy. Second, I want to wipe the slate clean between us. From now on, you're w

    At that moment, Andrew was sitting with Zachary. "Ever since I got to Blumedale, I've been slammed with work. Totally forgot to come hang out with you," Andrew said with a smile. Zachary's rugged face twisted into mock irritation. "Forgot? Please! You've just been out there flexing while leaving me in the dust!" Andrew waved a hand. "Let's talk business. You said Luna showed up, even pulled a gun? What exactly happened?" Zachary straightened his posture. "I came all the way to Serenity Villa just to tell you in person. Captain, that psycho woman got her eyes locked on you." Andrew replied calmly, "She's been annoyed with me from the start. But what's that got to do with you?" Zachary said, "She showed up at my restaurant and asked me about you. I didn't tell her anything, but when she left, her face looked like a storm was coming." There was a pause, and Andrew asked, "You kept quiet, and in return, she pulled a gun on you. Am I right?" Zachary's eyelid twitched, and he

    Luna stood up and headed straight downstairs. "Put the gun away. We're leaving!" Then, she warned, "Zachary, this blind loyalty of yours isn't a good thing. Maybe Andrew used to be something special. But now he's just a mediocre businessman playing petty tricks and feeling smug about it. "His pursuit of money and fame will make him increasingly corrupt and ordinary! Eventually, you'll realize this person isn't worth dying for!" She came and went like a storm, her moves swift and ruthless. To Luna, a person's life or death could be decided in mere seconds, and it was how she carried herself in the entire province. Zachary held Ruth in his arms and shouted, "I don't care who Andrew is now. That's not what matters. But as his friend, I'll always believe in him. What you dismiss as mediocrity merely reflects your own horizon. Beyond that horizon are taller summits that you haven't reached yet." Downstairs, Luna paused briefly, and her eyes turned icy cold. Taller summits tha

    The owner of Aroma Exchange was none other than Zachary, a ruthless figure ranked ninth on the Underworld Index. However, he usually left the daily management to his personal favorite, Ruth. When Luna and Leslie arrived, the entire restaurant fell silent. All eyes turned their way, filled with awe and wild admiration. Someone gasped, "Oh my, it's Ms. Phelan! She's so unreal… so stunning!" "You're insane for crushing on her. Do you have a death wish?" Another chimed in, "Get real. She's not just a military commander! She's a young general with once-in-a-generation martial talent. Everything about her is perfect. You're just being delusional." The person sighed. "If Luna looked at me just once, I'd gladly give up 20 years of my life." Luna ignored her admirers' gaze and the excited whispers around her. Her expression remained as cold as ice, and she headed straight upstairs with Leslie. Wearing a bright red dress, Ruth hurried over to greet them, "General, you're here!" L

    If Luna did not want someone ranked a certain way, then no one had the right to claim that spot. An example would be Andrew's ranking. With that, she walked away from Joe's mansion. Leslie was already waiting by the military vehicle. She asked, "General, would you like to visit Colonel Haywood first?" Luna got in the car and questioned her coldly, "Why bother with that useless man?" Leslie forced a smile. "But Colonel Haywood was injured for your sake, and for the sake of the entire camp!" Luna paused for a moment, then gave a slight nod. "Fair point. I suppose I should at least make some kind of gesture." Leslie quickly agreed. "Exactly, General. It wouldn't hurt to say a few kind words. The Haywoods are pretty upset right now. They're expecting you to stand up for Colonel Haywood!" Luna nodded and made her decision. "Alright then. In my name, send a message to the Haywoods. Xavier failed his mission and proved to be completely useless. As of today, he's no longer quali
