Luna said, "In the future, when I find the opportunity, I'll definitely bring Andrew under my command." Montgomery chuckled softly, his eyes gleaming with deeper meaning. "Bringing Andrew under your command is probably just your surface thought, isn't it? Deep down, you want to use him to find out where the Lloyds' heir is hiding, right?" Luna's cheeks flushed red, but she pressed her lips together and stayed silent. When she was embarrassed, she never acted like a shy little girl. Instead, she became quiet, and that silence only made her beauty more striking. Montgomery smiled knowingly. "Luna, in your whole life, you've never paid much attention to any young man of talent. The only exception is the Lloyds' heir. The truth is, you're both of the same age. Since you were little, his name was already known everywhere, so in a way, you grew up hearing about him." He asked, "Tell me honestly, Luna… Do you like him?" Luna froze, and for a long moment she did not answer. Finally

Luna explained, "The man told me he just hoped I could be happy every single day. He also said he knew my mentor and that the very next day, my mentor wouldn't be as strict with me anymore. He said pretty girls should be cherished and cared for, not pushed to exhaustion." She paused, a sweet smile blooming across her face. "Grandpa, can you guess what happened next? The next day at camp, my mentor came over and told me I could have three days off. And from then on, he allowed my training to be lighter and less punishing. "My mentor even asked me about my relationship with the Lloyds' heir. He warned me to stay away from him, or else I'd eventually fall into his trap and be completely devoured. Of course, I could tell he was teasing me. "Back then, in Chetvine's military command and across all departments, almost everyone admired or supported the Lloyds' heir. My mentor was General Philip Turman, a pillar of Holtrien, someone who never softened his words for anyone. "Yet when

Chapter 2053

Unlike the two powerhouses, the Driscoll family and the Phelan family, the Fischer family's headquarters was not located in Blumedale's city center. Instead, it was positioned on the northern mountains, nestled among vast stretches of well-arranged dense forests. The Fischer family valued martial prowess, making the training of their younger generation members especially important. To avoid suspicion and prevent others from discovering the Fischer family's martial arts heritage, the entire family compound appeared isolated and aloof from the world. The standalone tower at the mountaintop served as the residence for the Fischer family's direct bloodline members. Lucian had been living there permanently. He and Henry operated with one managing internal affairs and the other handling external matters, supporting each other to expand the Fischer family's influence. This had been the Fischer family's strategy, and it had always proven effective. At that moment, in the large room

Chapter 2054

Henry hissed, "But the spoils from the Driscolls' fall should have belonged to the Fischer family, not taken by someone else! Lucian, you should be explaining yourself to the family elders!" Lucian remained calm. "Don't worry. I've already offered my self-criticism and even requested to step down as acting head of the family. But that's just for formality. You know as well as I do, the Fischer family needs me. Besides me, who else could take the patriarch's seat? No one is qualified!" His steady expression shifted into one of ruthless arrogance, the air of a man who knew he was untouchable. When it came to cruelty and calculation, he was even more frightening than Henry. That was why, when the two brothers vied for dominance, Lucian ended up controlling the family's core while Henry was forced to manage external affairs. Henry demanded, "So what now, Lucian? Are you just going to stand by and watch Andrew rise in Gabo Creek?" Lucian's tone was flat. "Every man shows his han

Chapter 2055

By the time Andrew and Eric arrived in Goldridge, it was already night. The city was a blur of neon and nightlife, pulsing with reckless energy. As one of the grand metropolises in Holtrien's Gabo Creek region, Goldridge stood just a step below the capital in prestige. Eric led Andrew without saying a word, heading straight for an underground bar in the downtown area. The bar was not located on the main street but was hidden underground after winding through layers of narrow alleys. Behind a heavy, decaying iron door, a small window opened. A bald man wearing heavy makeup, with a mouth full of yellow teeth and terrible breath, appeared behind the small window. After glancing at Eric and Andrew and not recognizing them, he directly told them to scram. "Get lost!" Eric scoffed. "You'd better open this door for me, I know your manager." The heavily made-up bald man sneered, "Every day, hundreds of people come here claiming they know our manager. Beat it, you freak! We don't

The big guy on the left snorted coldly, "Get lost, our boss doesn't meet with strangers." Eric crossed his arms and struck a cocky pose. "I'm not a stranger. Anyone in Goldridge who doesn't know my name hasn't been born yet. Go inside and announce my arrival right now." This time, the big guy on the right spoke rudely, "Eric Humphrey? Sorry, but I've really never heard that name before. Pretty boy, we don't care how you got here. But if you don't get lost now, you'll be spitting your own teeth and blood next." Being blocked repeatedly, Eric's patience was nearly exhausted. The main issue was that this was too damn embarrassing. He used to be a big shot in Goldridge, the adopted son of the Southern Martial Union's leader, a household name and genius in Goldridge. But today, for some unknown reason, no one was giving him face or even claiming to know him. With Andrew watching from the side, Eric really felt this was too damn humiliating. Holding his breath, Eric's fists crac

Chapter 2057

Inside a circular lounge, Andrew finally met the bar's boss, Jack Moss. He was a fat, middle-aged man with a bald head, beady eyes, and no beard. Every one of his thick fingers glittered with a ring: gold bands, stones, skull carvings, and more. The tacky display screamed of excess, so much so that Andrew nearly laughed at the sight. The two guards whispered quickly in Jack's ear, and he shoved away the woman draped across his lap and studied Andrew with sharp eyes. "So, you're Mr. Andrew Lloyd of Gabo Creek?" Andrew smiled politely. "That's right. I hope I'm not intruding." Jack's fleshy face lit up with excitement. "Not at all. Having you in my humble place is an honor! Mr. Lloyd, you're incredible! Anyone who can fight his way out of Goldridge and crush that piece of shit leader from Hidden Dragon deserves my respect. I'm Jack Moss, also known as Big Jack." The nickname 'Big Jack' caught Andrew off guard, but looking at the man's size, it fit too perfectly. Holding

"Since you say you're not connected to Mr. Lloyd, then I'm sorry… I don't do business with you," Jack said flatly. Eric nearly exploded. "The hell is wrong with you? Do you not know who I am? I'm Eric Humphrey! I used to run Goldridge!" Jack sneered. "That was when Mr. Thornton was alive. Back then, sure, you had influence. But now the Southern Martial Union is under the McCormicks. The man in charge isn't Mr. Thornton anymore; it's the McCormicks. So let's be real… You're nothing but a stray dog." Jack leaned forward, his voice dripping with contempt. "Everyone in Goldridge's upper circle knows you're trash, colluding with Henry, that power-hungry snake. I called you 'Mr. Humphrey' out of courtesy. Otherwise, I could have you thrown out in seconds." At his cold snort, the curtain behind his sofa snapped open, and dozens of assault rifles suddenly aimed at Eric. Eric froze, his face locked in place. Rage burned through him, mixed with humiliation so sharp it was unbearable.

Chapter 2059

Since they now knew Shiloh was being held at the Majestic Hotel, Andrew's next move became clear. "So what's your plan? Just storm the place?" Eric asked. Andrew thought for a moment. "At this point, breaking in head-on is the only option." Eric scoffed. "You're strong, I'll give you that. But Jack said the McCormicks and Henry had already tried to make a move, but got nowhere. That means there's someone powerful inside. If you rush in, it won't end well." Andrew shrugged. "You're not wrong. But time is money, and we can't waste it." Eric clenched his teeth. "If the Southern Martial Union headquarters were still under Dad's control, no one in Goldridge would dare disrespect me." Andrew smirked. "Eric, aren't you ashamed to say that? Don't forget that it was you who betrayed him and sided with Henry. By the underworld's rules, a traitor like you deserves a slow death." Eric's face went rigid, his voice dry. "At least I don't regret it." Andrew sneered. "Whether you reg

The thug answered in a flat tone. "Billy Bob." Andrew nodded. "Nice name. Next question: Can you get inside the Majestic Hotel?" Billy replied, "Yes. I'm the one who delivers meals to the VIPs inside." Andrew smiled. "Good. Then you'll take us in with you on your next delivery." However, Billy shook his head. "Not now. The VIPs don't eat until six in the morning." Andrew glanced at his watch, noticing they had three hours to go. "Fine. Then we'll wait until six and go in with him." Eric lined up the rest of the Blues' lackeys and used his Phantom Mirage, mesmerizing them one by one until they all stood with glassy eyes. Grinning wickedly, he ordered, "You, strip him and penetrate him in the ass!" A grotesque scene followed, and Andrew grimaced. "Seriously? We've been up all night, and you can't just rest? You have to waste energy on this crap?" Andrew asked, frowning. Eric's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Don't you get it? This is the fun of Phantom Mirage. Con
