"Don't worry, I'll handle the rest," Brielle said confidently. She looked Aspen up and down, then nodded with approval. "She's got potential, and more importantly, she's absolutely gorgeous. Andrew, you've always had quite a bit of luck with women. I'd even say you've got it better than your playboy father ever did!" Aspen's cheeks turned pink as she said politely, "I'm Aspen Stevens. It's a pleasure to meet you, Madam Baxter." She already knew this woman was the owner of Chetvine Sovereign's Apothecary and a truly powerful figure behind the scenes. Brielle nodded approvingly. "Alright then, we'll be heading out now. Tomorrow I'll deliver the Blackstar Crystal directly to you, Andrew." Andrew did not say another word and headed back to the Lloyd family estate with Aspen. … Back at the Grand Hall, a completely different scene was unfolding. In the main lobby, Ezekiel's appearance had captured everyone's attention. Countless eyes were focused on this heir to the Sorya

Chapter 2292

Mikayla lifted the hem of her white dress and glanced at Ezekiel, who was surrounded by a crowd like the star of the night, her eyes shimmering with both hesitation and desire. Ezekiel's status was comparable to Holtrien's royal bloodline. No, it was even more intimidating than that. If one really had to compare, perhaps only the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince could rival Ezekiel's background, yet the Dragon Prince was already history. However, Ezekiel was still untouchably noble and right before her. Mikayla looked to the side and snapped her fingers. A waiter hurried over with a tray. "Good evening, miss!" Mikayla picked up a glass of champagne and waved for him to leave. Getting close to Ezekiel now was impossible. At least dozens of people were blocking the way, fangirls shrieking his name, and Chetvine elites waiting for a chance to strike up a conversation. Forcing her way through would never work, and besides, that would only look cheap and undignified. Mikayla ste

The bodyguard, who was his head of security, nodded grimly. "That's right, sir. It was stolen. The thieves were a woman and a man working together." A flash of cold fury passed through Ezekiel's eyes, though his expression remained calm. "I'm sorry, but I have to excuse myself," he said hurriedly to Mikayla before striding away from the scene. Mikayla stared in stunned silence. She could not believe he was just leaving like that. She had not even given her name or introduced herself properly, and she certainly had not achieved her goal. She gritted her teeth in frustration, absolutely furious. Some bastard had caused trouble behind the scenes, and now she was the one who ended up suffering for it. Ezekiel's sudden departure left the other guests sighing in disappointment. With the star of the evening gone, the night's mingling was officially over. Mikayla returned to Isabelle's side, looking completely dejected. She said flatly, "Let's go." Hearing the defeated tone in he

Chapter 2294

Kyrie's eyes narrowed as he grinned. "Fine then, I'll be happy to spar with you. Let's see what the Polar Tigers are really made of." Just then, Luna arrived in a hurry. "General Harding, you don't need to handle this anymore! I'll take responsibility for Mr. Beckett's situation." Kyrie frowned in confusion. "Luna, what are you doing?" Luna replied coldly, "What am I doing? Who told you to pick a fight with our guest and threaten him with violence? General Turman is on his way here right now, so if you don't want to get chewed out, you'd better leave." Kyrie's eye twitched as he walked out with a dark expression, but not before saying to Ezekiel, "We'll have plenty of opportunities to test each other. If I'm afraid of you, then I'm not a real man." When Ezekiel faced Luna, his demeanor improved considerably. However, he still spoke with righteous indignation. "General Phelan, my safe was stolen. Shouldn't the military give me some kind of explanation?" Luna nodded professio

Chapter 2295

The next day, Andrew received the Blackstar Crystal that Brielle had sent over. It was about the size of his palm and looked more like an amethyst than anything else. When he held it in his hand, it felt ice-cold to the touch. When something was black to the extreme, it became purple. This crystal seemed to have some kind of mystical energy flowing within it. Aspen looked at it curiously and asked, "Honey, is this thing actually going to help you?" Andrew smiled and said, "Only one way to find out." Sheena walked over, pursing her lips as she said, "The Blackstar Crystal leans toward dark energy. For martial artists, it does more harm than good. If you use it directly, at best it's a waste, and at worst it could damage your body." Andrew nodded slightly. "That may be true, but my body can handle it." Sheena rolled her eyes even harder and said, "Last night, you guys made quite a commotion at the Grand Hall. I heard even General Turman was furious about it. His prized stud

Chapter 2296

A priceless Blackstar Crystal had been consumed just like that, and Andrew could only sigh helplessly. Ezekiel had brought this Blackstar Crystal to Chetvine with clear intentions. It was either meant as a valuable gift for someone or for some other important purpose. But now, Andrew had gotten the benefit for nothing. Despite that, Andrew's problem still remained unsolved. The Blackstar Crystal had been completely useless against the seal on his energy core. It seemed he would still need to make a trip to the Grand Auction House under the Reyes family. Then, he could find the mysterious person who had sealed his energy core years ago. Alternatively, he could contact the Eastern Wanderer from the Umbral Peak Sect and ask for guidance. However, both of these paths were extremely troublesome and difficult. Even with Andrew's intelligence and abilities, he found them quite challenging. First, the Reyes family was not easy to mess with, and the Eastern Wanderer was a behind-the

Chapter 2297

Sheena said, "Uncle Reginald mentioned that he already built a new estate for you over in Vestra. If things ever get too tough for you here, you can go there. Oh, and he even found you a few blonde, blue-eyed ladies. If you like one of them, you can marry her." Andrew chuckled. "Is that so? Well, thank you for letting me know, but I won't be needing it for now." As Andrew started to walk off, Sheena hopped down from the pavilion. "Hold it. Didn't you just ignite the Blood-Eyed Black Dragon mark? Perfect timing, because I want to see for myself if that ‘unrivaled to below the martial emperor level' talk about you is true." Andrew waved a hand behind him. "Make it another day. I've got business to handle right now." Sheena watched his back disappear into the distance, then rubbed her chin and muttered, "This isn't good. The moment he came home, he stumbled into such a huge opportunity. Igniting the family totem is no small matter. "What if he can keep igniting more… even all o

Chapter 2298

Aspen gave a cold snort. "Sorry, I have no idea who you are." Kyrie slapped her with rage in his eyes. "Bitch, you tried to trap me last night at the Grand Hall, and now you say you don't know me? Do you think I'm some kind of fool?" To his shock, Aspen dodged his vicious slap. Her hand flipped, and a dagger appeared in her grip. "Try that again and I won't hold back," she said with an icy glare. Kyrie let out a furious laugh. "You're the first to pull a blade on me in Chetvine. Fine, let's see what you've really got." He lunged forward like a storm. Aspen had only reached martial king level, so against Kyrie, she had no chance to react. Pain ripped through her stomach as she spat a mouthful of blood. Natasha, furious, struck out with her palm. However, Kyrie sneered and swatted her aside with a backhand. Aspen's dagger clattered to the ground. Kyrie smirked. "What now? Getting scared? Ready to give in?" Aspen glanced at Natasha's injuries and said coldly, "Gener

Chapter 2299

Kyrie hissed, "I'll just kill Andrew's women first and see if he cries about it." He slapped Noah aside with one strike, sending him flying. His aura roared like a beast as his hand reached straight for Aspen's neck, making it clear he wanted her dead. However, right when his claws were about to touch her, he froze. He asked, "What the hell are you laughing at?" Aspen, at death's door, was still chuckling. "I'm laughing at you, General Harding, for showing off your big, bad authority. You'd better kill me right now. That way, Andrew will have every reason to avenge me." Her voice sharpened. "Believe me, General Harding, if anything happens to me or Natasha, and he doesn't kill you himself, then justice is dead." Kyrie ground his teeth. "Bitch!" He raised his hand for a slap, but her mocking eyes held him back again. He snapped, "Take them away!" Back in his vehicle, his face darkened. Killing Aspen and Natasha should have been no different than crushing two ants. Ho

Chapter 2230

Aspen said flatly, "It doesn't mean anything. I just want to wait for death. I don't need any treatment. You people in the military are so powerful, deciding who lives or dies whenever you feel like it, dragging people off as you please." She lowered her eyes. "Poor Natasha and I… we just got to Chetvine, and we have no one to rely on. The only one we have is Andrew, and right now, he doesn't even know if we're dead or alive. If we really die here, I don't know how he's supposed to go on, and even thinking about it makes me feel sad for him." Her eyes reddened as she spoke. Luna knew Aspen was angry and throwing a tantrum, but she had no choice but to endure it. After all, she understood Andrew's personality. Kyrie had pushed things too far. If Andrew learned his women had been hurt, he would storm the military headquarters without hesitation, and even Philip might not be able to contain the fallout. Kyrie grew impatient. "Luna, why waste time talking to them? They're just
