Andrew did not hesitate and slammed his sword forward in a single, decisive strike. "Idiot," he muttered.The powerful vampire let out a distorted roar. In a flash, it vanished from Andrew's sight.Andrew's expression did not change. Without even turning his head, he thrust his sword straight behind him.A dull impact exploded as the hideous vampire reappeared right at his back. That single thrust sent the creature flying. A furious roar instantly echoed through the air.Andrew shook his head. Vampires might be at the top of the food chain, but they could never escape their primal impulses. In other words, they were quick to anger and even quicker to charge in recklessly.Suddenly, a barrage of claw strikes ripped toward Andrew's body.Andrew's footwork flowed nonstop, and every attack missed him by inches. He fired a kick straight into the vampire's chest.The creature roared as its tremendous force pushed Andrew backward toward the edge of the balcony. However, with just a

Andrew replied calmly, "Go ahead and name your price! Of course, you could also choose not to tell me. Worst case, I'll just find someone else, like Mr. Augustus Cabrera, for instance. You're not the only one in the City of Hope who can give me what I need."Petyr's expression darkened immediately. "You seem to know quite a bit about the City of Hope. Augustus and I are bitter rivals, and I'd much rather keep a fighter like you on my side. Help me escort a shipment out of the city and ensure it arrives safely at its destination. In exchange, I'll provide you with the information you want."Andrew nodded. "Deal."Petyr's face registered obvious surprise. "You're not worried I might be deceiving you? That this could be a trap?"Andrew smiled, though his expression was cold as ice. "Not at all. Because this big guy in my hands will make sure anyone who tries to play games with me loses their head."Petyr snorted and said, "Reginald was ambushed by the werewolf Dark Lord, Kaelan Soros

After leaving, Andrew had initially planned to head to Night Rose. However, he changed his mind after thinking it over and walked into a high-end hotel instead. In the City of Hope, anyone who could afford to stay at a hotel was either loaded or powerful.The service here was top-tier in every sense. They would even handle murder, arson, or any outrageous request you could think of, as long as you had enough cash to pay for it.Andrew booked a decent single room and settled in. In two days at most, he would be leaving the City of Hope for the Wraith Graveyard to investigate. No matter what, he had to confirm whether Reginald was alive or dead first. After that, he would head straight to the Deadlands to search for clues about the Veiled Paradise.Placing his greatsword Godslayer within easy reach, Andrew closed his eyes and sat on the bed. He did not need to actively cultivate right now because the Divine Art of Heaven and Earth's Five Elements was so powerful that it automatically

Petyr looked at Augustus and snorted. "Augustus, I have always known you have a death wish. But remember this, you are still not my match. With your level of strength, I would've torn you apart long ago if not for your family's protection. That Holtrien man is no pushover. I've already fought him, and he's incredibly strong!"He continued, "If he were just some weakling, do you think you would have a chance to spout nonsense in front of me? I would've killed him already and drained him dry. But an opponent that powerful? The City of Hope has no reason to provoke him. On the contrary, choosing cooperation is the smartest move."He's already agreed to help me transport a shipment through the wilderness, and in return, I won't hold him accountable for what he did here in the City of Hope."Uriah frowned. "You're letting a Holtrien man help you transport goods through the wilderness? Are you sure he's reliable?"The red gleam in Petyr's eyes flickered. "Among the foreigners, the Easton

The next day, Andrew received word that Petyr needed him to move out. He had originally thought Petyr would wait another day or two before having him leave the City of Hope, not expecting to be called up the very next day.Looking at the entire row of over a dozen large trucks loaded with supplies, Andrew could not help but frown and wondered if these supplies had been ready all along.Andrew did not think so. The Outlands wilderness was crawling with bandits and wanderers, all packing serious firepower. With this much valuable cargo, Petyr would only start preparing once he had reliable escorts lined up.Yet, Andrew had only met with him the day before, and now they were already setting out. The only explanation was that Petyr had made a last-minute decision to depart today. As for the reason behind it, that was worth thinking about.Still, Andrew did not care. If Petyr tried pulling any tricks, he would not mind returning to the City of Hope and wiping out every ruler there. In

The convoy continued forward, and for the next several hours, nothing unexpected happened.A faint smile appeared at the corner of Andrew's mouth. He knew it was not because the bandits of the Outlands had suddenly learned their lesson. It was because his earlier strike had carried overwhelming deterrence.Those with bad intentions now understood what it meant to be able to rob, but not live to enjoy it.By sunset, the convoy arrived at a thriving small town.Andrew resupplied with some dry rations and drinking water. Then, before nightfall, he left the town alone.The highways in the Outlands were not well-developed. Most of the time, it felt more like a chaotic wilderness. Since there were no permanent rulers here, conflicts and wars could break out at any moment. So, any kind of infrastructure was basically pointless and thankless work.Of course, this was not true everywhere. In territories controlled by powerful factions, such as the lands belonging to the Ludendorff family,
