작가: Only For You
Irene beamed at Harvey with obvious approval and commented, "Harvey, please take the seat of honor. Tonight's family dinner is all about you."

Harvey maintained perfect etiquette, treating every Stevens family member with utmost politeness and respect. His behavior had everyone glowing with pride, convinced they had found the perfect addition to their family.

"Seeing Harvey so popular and capable must be hard for you to watch," Christina remarked, suddenly appearing beside Andrew.

Andrew smiled and said, "Congratulations on finding such an exceptional match. You've always dreamed of marrying into high society, and now you've achieved it."

Christina's expression grew complex as she sighed. "Andrew, I've always known you're not a bad person. I'm not saying this to rub in your face. I just want you to learn from Harvey's admirable qualities. Even if you can't match his success, you could at least live with dignity."

Andrew chuckled. "Are you saying I'll never be as successful as

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1524

    Jerry frowned and said, "I heard a Torasesy master talk about Blood Ghouls several years ago. Only places with extreme negative energy and great evil can breed such creatures." He continued, "Usually, you'd find them in ancient burial pits or sealed underground catacombs. But this valley was once home to the ancestors of Gallow's End. By all logic, it should've been a place of peace, not a breeding ground for something like a Blood Ghoul." Tiana snorted coldly, "If you ask me, it's all just supernatural nonsense. We should just prepare properly and level this entire valley. Then, whatever Blood Ghouls or zombies are here will all be dead." Andrew shook his head and replied, "Violence and brute force won't solve anything. If we use high-powered explosives to flatten this valley, we might never find the entrance to the treasure." Logan speculated, "What if the Blood Ghouls that attacked the Wright family… were the corpses of the original Gallow's End settlers? Think about it—didn

    "If it were just the Blood Ghouls, my men wouldn't be afraid to step into the forbidden area," Buzz muttered. As he spoke, his face turned pale, as if he remembered something horrifying. Tiana pressed him aggressively, "Tell us—what other evil creatures are hiding in this cursed place?" Buzz shook his head weakly. "Stop asking. Even if you keep pushing, I won't say another word. This is the misfortune of our Gallow's End heritage hamlet… a punishment from above. "The only thing I can do for you is urge you to return to the village below with me at daybreak, then leave this place forever. If you don't, what's waiting for you won't even leave you a body to bury. Trust me, what's inside will break you. You'll suffer pain and fear far worse than death itself." He finished speaking, but his hands trembled around the grip of his musket. Without another word, he turned and walked back to the fire pit, sitting alone, dazed and silent. Logan gritted his teeth and said, "Would it ki

    Ten minutes later, every inch of ground outside the ruined heritage hamlet had been turned upside down. But still, there was no sign of Magnus. It was that eerie hour just before dawn, the darkest stretch of night. In this isolated valley, the only light sources were three campfires and a few scattered flashlights—everything else was swallowed by pitch black. Chantelle's face was twisted with frustration. "Mr. Sutton, weren't you just with Mr. Veyne the whole time? How the hell did he disappear like that? What the hell were you even doing?" Ralph looked panicked. "Ms. Garcia, that's unfair! How am I supposed to know?" Chantelle was fuming. For the first time, she had to admit that Andrew had been right all along. This so-called survival expert really was a useless joke. Andrew snapped, clearly out of patience. "Ralph, answer me—were you with Magnus before he went missing or not?" Ralph showed a thoughtful expression and said, "When Ms. Garcia told us to start the fire and e

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1521

    The valley was surrounded on all sides by steep cliffs. The night was dark, the wind was howling, and of course, there was no cell signal. Even if they wanted to call for a food delivery guy to save the day, there was no chance of that happening. Buzz walked up to Andrew and said, "Mr. Lloyd, once the sun comes up, we're heading straight back to the village down the mountain." Andrew smiled and replied, "Buzz, once it's light out, I want to head inside and take a look." Buzz's face changed. "Mr. Lloyd, you're planning to go into the forbidden area? Have you lost your mind?" Andrew's smile did not waver. "Fortune favors the bold, and I want to give it a try." Buzz shook his head hard. "Mr. Lloyd, why won't you understand? There's no treasure in there—no hidden vault, no gold mine, nothing. You city folks have all been deceived. Chief Flintspire already explained it clearly. If Gallow's End really had a secret stash, do you think it'd be waiting around for you to find it?" An

    After dealing with Tora's situation, Andrew began giving orders to his own people. As for the others, he could not be bothered with them. Chantelle followed suit and said, "Mr. Sutton, Mr. Veyne, go start a fire too and prepare food." After speaking, she walked over to Andrew. "Mr. Lloyd, I thought you—" Andrew cut her off with a cold smirk. "You thought I'd turn a blind eye and let him die, didn't you?" Chantelle gave a sheepish smile. "No, not exactly. I just assumed you believed Tora was beyond saving." Andrew said flatly, "Right now, there's still no solid cure for necrotic venom. But at the end of the day, he's still a living, breathing man. And Tora? He earned my respect—loyal, fearless, no nonsense. So if there's even a sliver of a chance, I'll take it." Chantelle smiled softly. "Governor McCormick always said you were a man of principle, and he wasn't wrong." Andrew snorted. "Now that I've stepped in to save someone, you're full of praise, Ms. Garcia. But if I'd

    "Take him down!" Buzz barked. To everyone's surprise, Kevin also shouted, "Blood Ghoul! Yes—that's exactly what it looks like! Quick! Kill him now, before it's too late!" Chantelle yelled, horrified, "Mr. Wright, are you insane? He's one of your own men!" Kevin roared back, "I couldn't care less about that now! Even if he is from the Wright family, we can't take any chances! Kill him now, damn it! Do it!" Chantelle felt a chill crawl up her spine. She never had any deep ties to the Wright family, but her years under Derek's guidance in the government had instilled a strict line when it came to taking a human life. To see Kevin, the head of the Wright family, so quick to sacrifice one of his own, rattled her to the core. "No… please… don't kill me…" Tora had dropped to his knees, holding his head, his voice ragged and confused. "I don't want to die…" Kevin snarled. "Tora, don't blame me for this. Blame your bad luck. You know what Blood Ghouls are, and you know how terrif
