The moment Natasha saw that woman, she felt completely uneasy. The arrogance on the woman's face made her instinctively tense because her presence was loud, domineering, and aggressive. Fortunately, her looks were quite ordinary. Compared to Andrew's handsome and refined features, this woman looked like nothing more than an ordinary housewife. Natasha thought that this person was probably not part of the Lloyd family. However, she was completely wrong. Andrew smiled and said, "Sheena, long time no see!" Sheena Lloyd was the notorious troublemaker of the Lloyd family. The Lloyd family had over a thousand members between the direct and collateral relatives combined. Andrew only knew that Sheena was of his generation. By age, she would also be his senior. Beyond that, he did not know much about her because she belonged to a different faction within the Lloyd family. That particular faction happened to be at odds with Andrew's side of the family. Sheena pressed again coldly.

"This is your home, isn't it?" Natasha could not help but ask. Andrew shook his head. "It used to be, but not anymore. This is just my house now." With that, he strode confidently through the entrance. At the Lloyd family compound's main gate, aside from two stone statues that looked run-down, there were no other decent decorations whatsoever. Unlike some nouveau riche families that hired martial kings or even martial saints as guards to display their prestige and extraordinary status, the Lloyd family compound was completely casual about security. The main gate stayed open 24 hours a day without fear of intruders. The entrance looked so shabby that anyone unfamiliar with the place might mistake it for an abandoned construction site. Once inside, however, the place was quite distinctive. At the very least, it was clean and well-maintained. Natasha began to notice people walking by. Each person hurried along with their heads down, seeming to carry heavy burdens on their mind

Natasha blushed as she replied shyly, "Maybe… we should skip that. I'd be too embarrassed to meet your father; I'm afraid he'd think I'm not good enough for you. Lauren and the others should meet him. I'll just watch from the sidelines when that happens." Andrew smiled warmly. "Natasha, my dad isn't as old-fashioned as you think he is. Don't worry, once you meet him, you'll see for yourself. Those conventional prejudices about age differences and social status don't matter in our family. Nobody cares about that stuff." Natasha hummed in acknowledgment. After a while, she whispered, "I keep feeling like someone's watching us on the street. But when I turn around to look, I can't spot anything unusual. It's so strange." Andrew chuckled. "There's nothing strange about that. Your instincts are right. People are definitely watching us. Let me think… There should be members from the Shadowthorn Guild, whose boss is Atad Morrow, ranked 15th on the Titan List. He's just a cowardly scumba

After leaving the airport, Andrew did not call a cab. Instead, he walked slowly in a particular direction down the street. Natasha obediently followed without asking any questions, simply trailing behind him quietly. The man she had fallen for was someone who had always been the most dazzling person with his heroic presence. Yet at this moment, his silhouette somehow carried an indescribable sense of loneliness. That terrifying-looking Conrad must have been someone special to Andrew. Between them, there seemed to be much more than just hatred; there were countless untold stories from their past. Natasha was a perceptive woman, and her intuition picked up on all these subtle cues. Chetvine was a magnificent city with wide streets. Luxury cars of all kinds raced back and forth throughout the area, but at least half of them were pretending to pass by while actually keeping a close watch on Andrew. "Don't make any moves yet. Standby for orders," came the stern voice over the radi

Conrad said, "Everything before that was just Andrew humoring me, treating me like his personal entertainment. My life was something Andrew gave me, and without him, I wouldn't even be here. So tell me, what right did I ever have to compete with him? "Besides, the cruelest rule of all was that only one of us could pass. The other had only two choices: either live in the shadows forever under a false identity, never to see daylight again, or leave the organization and submit to a mind-wipe, erasing every memory tied to it." Luna snapped, "But you were just as good! The fact is, you've already become a flagship member of your organization. Why couldn't they have accommodated both you and Andrew back then? Why not let you both pass together?" Conrad took a deep breath and said coldly, "I was desperate at the time, and I begged those old fossils with exactly the same argument. But they said I was being delusional. Those were the rules, and they wouldn't change for anyone. "I still

Luna nodded, sighing with amazement. "I never would have imagined that he used to be that kind of person, someone with such genuine character. But if you two had such a great relationship back then, why did things change to the point where you're now completely at odds with each other?" Conrad's expression turned cold. "Like I said before, this whole thing was originally a carefully orchestrated setup by the organization. More precisely, it was designed to break down and test human hearts and human nature. "Both of us successfully returned from Aclania and passed the evaluation. But then the bombshell dropped. The organization announced that I had failed the assessment. Meanwhile, Andrew would become the only trainee in the program's history to achieve a perfect score, not only graduating with honors but also being groomed as the organization's next leader." He continued, "We're talking about the leadership of the organization here, the highest of the high command. This wasn't ju
