Andrew did not say anything. Instead, he just looked down at the woman before him. Mikayla's eyes lit up with joy, thinking she had a chance. By closing the distance, apologizing earnestly, and adding her incomparable beauty to the mix, it was an unbeatable trump card. She believed that Andrew clearly could not resist her. Ten years ago, she had been just a young girl. People could already tell she would grow into a beauty, but she hadn't yet come into her own, and her allure had not fully bloomed. Now, though, Mikayla was at the peak of her womanhood. Even some of the most elite heirs in Chetvine had publicly pursued her, but she had politely turned them all down. After all, there were plenty of fish in the sea, and she was not ready to settle with one just yet. Andrew suddenly said, "Mikayla, you know something? Right now, you look exactly like a woman I used to know." Mikayla froze, then blushed. "Andrew, I'm guessing this woman… she was someone you used to be with, righ

Andrew's lips curled into a cold, dismissive smile. "Submit? Ha, do you really think you're worthy? Do you think I care about your submission? Mikayla, what I despise most about you is your crooked heart. "You honestly believe that all your little schemes and manipulations are hidden from me? In these ten years in Chetvine, you're adored and showered with vanity. So now you think my return has ruined that, that I remind you of the past and make you feel ashamed, right?" He added, "But the truth is, my return has nothing to do with you. You and your family, in my eyes, are nothing at all. Let me be blunt… You and the Owens family are nothing more than weeds by the roadside to me. If I ever want to crush you, all it takes is lifting my foot." Mikayla's heart trembled for no reason. The look in Andrew's eyes made her feel a kind of fear she had never known, one that felt utterly foreign. Yet the very next second, she burst out laughing in anger. "Andrew, since you've said it like

Alfredo was Holtrien's Sword Saint, ranked third on the Titan List. With nothing but himself and his blade, he was powerful enough to single-handedly guard the border. That was not even all. Ten years ago, Alfredo, wielding his deadly sword, had publicly announced to the world that his martial arts had reached the third stage of martial emperor. And in these past ten years, who knew if Alfredo had reached the fourth stage, or even maxed out at the fifth stage of martial emperor. For Sheena to have even a 10% chance against him was already incredibly fortunate. "Does Patriarch Donovan also approve of you challenging Alfredo?" Andrew asked again. Sheena was considered the future of the Lloyd family royal line, and to a certain extent, her importance was no less than Andrew's. Donovan was the current head of the Lloyds, and Andrew could not imagine him allowing Sheena to face Alfredo. Alfredo was notorious for his pride. If she angered him and he crippled her beyond healin

That night, Luna barely slept. She tossed and turned, restless and sleepless. It had been a long time since she last had insomnia. The last time was many years ago when she learned that the Lloyd family had met with disaster. The Lloyd family Dragon Prince's whereabouts were unknown, his fate uncertain. Back then, she had not slept the entire night and had run through the streets of Chetvine searching everywhere. In the end, she found nothing. Even by dawn, Luna still had no desire to sleep whatsoever. So, she simply got up and started a new day. Her aide Leslie had been waiting outside her quarters. "General, the things you requested are ready." Luna had always lived in the military dormitory in Chetvine, maintaining a very simple lifestyle. "Good, give them to me. You're dismissed for now." Taking the items, Luna gathered her things and prepared to leave. Leslie hesitated. "General, are you going to the Lloyd family estate to visit Andrew?" Luna nodded, not denying i

Andrew sat on another, rather short stool. Calling it a stool was generous, as it was really just a tree stump. Looking up at the sky, Andrew laughed heartily. "Well, the weather's pretty nice today." Luna made a sound of agreement. "It is pretty nice. Chetvine has severe smog problems, so days like this aren't exactly common. Then, silence fell between them. Andrew scratched his head, genuinely not knowing what to say to Luna. The two of them could not really be called enemies or friends. More often than not, it was Luna being assertive while Andrew accommodated her somewhat. However, that had only been back in Gabo Creek. Now, Andrew's identity was completely exposed, and Luna knew he was the Lloyd family Dragon Prince. So, Luna no longer dared to make demands of him like before. And Andrew no longer indulged her. This invisibly widened the gulf between them for normal communication. "May I call you by your name?" After a long while, Luna could not help but speak fir
