Kevin clenched his fists and laughed. "The legendary treasure left behind by the Fallen Crimson Dynasty… all of Holtrien's centuries of feudal wealth, concentrated in this doomsday empire. Think about it—it must be mountains of gold, oceans of jewels… and maybe even ancient relics long lost to time. "Like the Elixir of Immortality that Admiral Frost brought back from his voyage to the East, and the Moon Pearl that the Demon Queen supposedly held in her mouth when she was buried. Any one of these alone could overturn everything our family has worked for, across generations." Quinton's eyes gleamed with wonder. "It might not even stop there. What if there are artifacts from Admiral Locke's journeys through uncharted seas? And all the wealth those old dynasty officials squeezed from the people—enough to fill trucks and still take days to haul away. "If it's really all true, then we've hit the jackpot. Screw the Three Titans—they'll all have to step aside for us!" The father and s

Mosby walked over, clearly impressed. "Mr. Wright Senior, you're really a man of bold decisions. You raised such a powerful son with so much effort, and now you've crippled him just like that… Even I feel it's a shame!" Kevin scoffed. "Save the sympathy, Dr. Lake. You're not fooling anyone. Now, get in touch with Mr. Driscoll. I didn't care about the treasure before, but now that I know it exists, I'm taking my cut. And if anyone dares to leave the Wrights out of it, don't blame me for being ruthless." Mosby's expression darkened, his eyes wary. "Understood. But if the Wrights want in, you've got to pull your weight. We've gone through hell collecting the scattered fragments of this map, and now that the full treasure map is nearly complete, the Wrights just show up to claim a share?" He added, "You barely did anything—there needs to be some compensation!" Kevin sneered. "Your compensation is staying alive, Mosby. If I felt like it, I'd kill you right now. Do you really think t

Dylan asked, "Mr. Lloyd, in that situation with two martial kings present, how did you have the nerve?" Just remembering it made his throat dry and his palms sweat. Andrew scoffed and shrugged. "So what? If it really came to a fight, they'd be the ones dying, not me." Dylan's face twisted into an expression of pure disbelief. "But Mr. Lloyd, did you even consider my feelings? You might be able to handle being ganged up on, but I would've been meeting my maker right then and there!" Andrew blinked, then laughed. "Fair point. I would've been fine, no doubt about that. But you? Yeah, Grand Viper would've probably snapped you in half with a single strike. But hey, Dylan, you lucked out. You made it back in one piece." Dylan's mouth twitched as the realization hit him that Andrew had not even considered whether he would live or die back there. If a real fight had broken out with all those people ganging up on them, would he have actually survived? Seeing the pale look on Dylan'

Stepping outside, Aspen felt cheerful as she grabbed her purse and headed toward the Ferrari. Her flawless fair skin, jet-black hair, sculpted figure, and stunning face turned heads without effort. And with a luxury car as extravagant as that Ferrari, she was now the picture-perfect heiress. "Ms. Stevens, heading out?" A sleek black Audi A6 pulled up and came to a stop, the door clicking open. Out stepped Chantelle, dressed in a sharp, no-nonsense outfit. Aspen blinked in surprise. "Ms. Garcia, hey there! What brings you here?" Chantelle nodded with a pleasant smile. "I'm here to see Mr. Lloyd." Aspen shrugged lightly. "Alright, go on up. He should be in the study on the third floor." However, as Aspen bent slightly to slide into the low seat of her Ferrari, Chantelle suddenly called out, "Ms. Stevens, wait a second." Aspen paused mid-movement and looked back at her. Chantelle walked up beside her, tapping on the gleaming car. "Mr. Lloyd sure spoils his little assista

Chantelle had an impressive figure, and even though she wore oversized custom business attire, it could not hide her alluring silhouette, the kind that sparked all kinds of thoughts in a man's mind. However, her facial expression left much to be desired—she constantly wore that frigid, emotionally detached look. Just as she entered Serenity Villa, Chantelle stepped back out and looked to the side. "You're Tora, the Wrights' security captain, aren't you?" Her tone was professional but slightly curious. Tora grinned broadly. "Nice to see you, Ms. Garcia!" Chantelle nodded curtly. "Why aren't you going inside? You're here to see Andrew too, right?" Tora looked frustrated and dejected. "He won't let me in—told me to wait outside!" Chantelle frowned. "That's a bit much, even for him. But it's better if you wait out here. He's no small fry anymore. Someone of his level is worth the wait." On the third floor, Chantelle did not bother knocking—she just pushed the study door

Andrew shook his head. "Don't waste your time trying to dig into my background. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand." Chantelle let out a cold laugh. "Come on, Mr. Lloyd, that's a bit much. You think I can't find out? Unless you're from one of Holtrien's top-tier noble families or one of the nation's real powerhouses—the kind who sit at the top of the decision-making pyramid—I can and will dig up your history." Andrew replied coolly, "Alright then, here's a little hint. I used to serve in Holtrien's military. If you want to investigate, be my guest." Chantelle froze, and her eyes widened in shock. "Military? You were in the armed forces?" Andrew corrected her without hesitation. "Not a soldier—I commanded them." That shut her up immediately. Her stunned gaze locked onto him. She paused for a second, then asked more urgently, "Wait, seriously? You led troops? Then that must mean… your rank wasn't low, was it?" After all, there was a massive difference between serving

Chantelle explained further, "Over the years, Rafael's wealth has grown incredibly fast, and one of his major income sources is dealing in antiques and rare treasures from ancient Holtrien. Whenever that guy sets his eyes on something, you can bet it's the real deal." Andrew frowned. "Selling off Holtrien's cultural relics like that is a serious crime. Hasn't the government tried to intervene?" Chantelle shook her head with frustration. "We've tried intervening, but it hasn't been very effective. Rafael has specialized contacts abroad, and they're no small players either. "Most importantly, he's extremely skilled at the antique, tomb raiding, and treasure hunting business. Our famed military unit, The Predators, has raided him several times but never caught him red-handed." Andrew said firmly, "Then this time, the government should definitely step in. I just don't think treasures left behind by our ancestors should fall into the hands of someone like Rafael." Chantelle gave

After Chantelle left, Andrew immediately made a call and asked Logan to come over. When it came to Derek, Andrew had revealed the existence of the treasure out of personal interest, hoping to leverage government power and gain the upper hand in the race ahead. However, with the Keller family, Andrew had a different motive. George had handed him the chairmanship of the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce without hesitation, a gesture that showed extraordinary favoritism. Andrew believed in repaying loyalty, and combined with their recent interactions, the Kellers had earned his genuine recognition and acceptance. Those who earned his acceptance often received benefits far beyond their expectations—colossal benefits. Sure enough, when Logan rushed to Serenity Villa and heard about the treasure from the Fallen Crimson Dynasty, he was completely stunned and thrilled. "Andy, the Kellers have to be part of this. This kind of opportunity could redefine our family's fortune for the nex

Logan said, "Freya's a great choice. If you agree to just one date with her, I'll even let her stay out all night." Andrew frowned. "What exactly are you implying?" Logan smirked. "Do I really need to spell it out?" His look was full of scheming mischief, the kind every experienced man would understand in an instant. However, Andrew still shook his head. "Sorry, not happening." Logan groaned. "You're seriously turning this down? Andy… are you telling me you're not up to it? I swear, Freya is every bit as stunning as the three beauties you've got here in Serenity Villa. "Bring her home, and you've got your own private paradise. A man surrounded by beautiful women, living the dream!" Andrew rubbed his temples. "Logan, I've said it before—the Keller sisters are indeed beautiful. However, relationships between men and women are about fate and mutual affection. "If all you're chasing is some cheap thrill below the belt, then what's the point? Doesn't that feel empty to you?"

That evening, Lauren drove her pink Maserati, Francesca took her BMW sports car, and Aspen brought her Ferrari as all three returned to Serenity Villa together. The luxury vehicles created quite a display in the driveway. "I'm exhausted! The workload at Blumedale Hospital is so much more than when I was in Jayrodale!" Francesca complained nonstop as soon as she walked through the door. Lauren smiled brightly. "Aspen, you went for yoga again? Oh my goodness, your figure now is making me so jealous!" Francesca nodded enthusiastically. "Seriously! I noticed it too. And Aspen, you in yoga pants? Total knockout. Especially that perky little butt of yours—it's practically begging to be smacked." Aspen yelped, flustered and blushing. "Oh, stop it, both of you! Compared to Fran's chest, I've got nothing going on. And Lauren's waistline? Deadly. Every time Andrew is done with you, he's holding onto the wall like his soul left his body." Francesca blushed even harder, pouting. "All I'
