"What do you think about Andrew?" Scarlett was caught off guard by Henry's sudden question. Then, she let out a mocking laugh and said, "Just a nobody. That man's already made it onto my Driscoll family's death list." Henry shook his head. "Whether your family wants him dead or not, that's not my business. I'm simply asking for your honest assessment of the man. Is he good or bad?" Scarlett reluctantly replied, "I'll admit, he's not ordinary. He rose quickly in Blumedale and managed to win over Derek and George. Now he's even grown to match the level of the Five Apex Families!" Henry smiled. "Good, at least you're being fair about it! But there's one thing you've overlooked." Scarlett looked puzzled. "What's that?" Henry stood up and walked to the window, clasping his hands behind his back. His eyes glinted with a quiet sharpness as he said in a low voice, "His strength. Back in the main hall, he sent Matthew flying with a single strike. You noticed that, didn't you?" Sca

Ruth shouted, "If you don't go, he'll kill Zac! Mr. Lloyd, please… You have to save him! At this point, you're the only one who can do anything!" Ruth broke down in tears after that, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably. She was clearly terrified out of her mind. Andrew helped her up and said, "Tell me everything, from the beginning. Zachary already passed the selection round, wasn't he supposed to become Mr. Thornton's apprentice?" Ruth sobbed. "That's what we thought when we went there. But before we could even see Mr. Thornton, Mr. Wallace suddenly lashed out and struck Zac in the chest. He coughed up blood right on the spot and didn't even get a chance to fight back before they had him pinned!" She added, "Mr. Wallace let me go and told me to bring you this message. If you don't show up soon, Zac's as good as dead!" Andrew's eyes flashed with cold fury. "That bastard!" He told Ruth to stay put at the hotel and wait for Lauren and the others to return. Then, he went to

The headquarters was massive, and Andrew headed straight for the highest level. Everyone knew that was where Jerome's private quarters were located. Alex and his men were stationed outside the main hall at the very top. When he saw Andrew approaching, he sneered with a cold smile. "I thought you might be all bark and no bite. I figured you wouldn't have the guts to show up!" Andrew's expression remained stone-cold. "Where's Zachary? Let him go, and I might spare your life!" Alex burst into angry laughter. "You arrogant little punk! You've got some serious nerve talking like that. If we actually fought, I could kill you in seconds! Go on in. Zachary's fine; I'm just having a nice chat with Mr. Thornton." Andrew walked into the side hall and saw three people inside. One of them was Zachary, seated quietly below. The second was Jerome, a square-faced man with a scholarly appearance, The third person was a strangely beautiful young man with two long strands of hair falling be

Andrew picked up the conversation with a cold tone. "So what you're saying is, you resorted to underhanded tactics by capturing Zachary to blackmail me, right?" Jerome looked stunned, then his expression immediately turned apologetic. Just as he was about to speak, the beautiful young man who had been sitting silently finally opened his mouth. His voice was soft and melodious, sounding exactly like a woman's. "Dad had no choice in this matter. Besides, he didn't know about this plan beforehand. I came up with it entirely on my own." He lifted his head with a pitiful expression, like a heartbroken maiden gazing sorrowfully at Andrew. "If you want to blame someone, then blame me!" Andrew's mind went blank for a split second before returning to normal as he replied calmly, "I wouldn't say I blame you. I just don't like being manipulated. By the way, I haven't gotten your name yet. Who might you be?" The feminine young man smiled, revealing perfectly aligned and crystal-white

Jerome let out two shallow coughs, and when he pulled back his white handkerchief, there were faint streaks of black blood. "Dr. Lloyd, I understand the rules of healing and medicine. It was rude and reckless to bring you here this way. If you're upset and refuse to help, I would understand completely." Andrew shook his head. "Saving a life is more important than pride. And Mr. Thornton, someone of your stature and reputation deserves better. I have no reason to refuse. However, the Frostblossom is no ordinary poison, as it's among the deadliest. Even if I do try, fully removing it might be impossible." Jerome gave a weary smile. "That's alright. If you can suppress it even a little, I'll already be beyond grateful. As for what happens after… well, I'll leave it to fate." Andrew nodded quietly. Jerome truly lived up to his reputation. He was incredibly calm even in the face of death. Men willing to face their end so openly were rare. "Alright then, I'll give it a try. But bef

Alex and Zachary had already stepped out, leaving only Eric seated quietly by the bedside. Andrew did not even look back. "Eric, I don't like distractions when I'm treating someone. Would you mind stepping out as well?" Eric remained seated, smiling gently. "Don't worry, Dr. Lloyd. I'll just stay here silently. I'm more concerned for Dad's safety than anyone else. I wouldn't feel at ease if I weren't nearby." Andrew frowned and was about to insist again when Jerome spoke up. "Eric, go on and step out. Don't worry. Dr. Lloyd's here. I'll be fine." Only then did Eric rise to his feet and say softly, "Alright, Dad. I'll step out now. Dr. Lloyd, I'll leave him in your care." Even while walking out, Eric did not forget to politely acknowledge Andrew, warm and courteous as ever. However, Andrew could not shake the discomfort crawling over his skin. Something about Eric always made him feel like a needle was pressed against his back. Jerome gave a soft chuckle. "Dr. Lloyd, my apol

Without proper preparation, it was impossible for Andrew to remove the Frostblossom toxin completely. If it were that easy to deal with, this poison would not be considered such a deadly weapon. The black energy on Jerome's face began flowing in one direction. Andrew brought two fingers together like a blade and sliced down swiftly at the point. Immediately, a wound appeared, and black blood began streaming out steadily. Jerome kept his eyes tightly closed and gasped, "Impressive! To be honest, before this, I had several elders from the Advanced Medical Institute help me. But all of them were forced back by the sheer intensity of the Frostblossom's toxin. None of them could even open a proper channel to drain the poison. They were too terrified to make a cut." Andrew's focus remained sharp, though his tone stayed calm. "It's not that the Institute lacks talent, but those elders are just mediocre." Jerome chuckled. "Confident and bold. Dr. Lloyd, your honesty is refreshing."

Jerome gave a faint smile. "Of course, I went. I may be rough around the edges, but loyalty always comes first. Unfortunately, by the time I reached Chetvine, it was already too late. I never got to see him. The only thing I could do was protect his family and help hold off the enemies who were hunting them." He sighed deeply. "In the end, I couldn't do much. I heard that the whole incident turned into a bloodbath. Many people died, and all of Chetvine was shaken. Even his only son didn't survive it. "I searched the battlefield on the outskirts like a madman, over and over. If I'd managed to bring his child back that day, he would've been about Eric's age now." As he spoke, pain flickered in Jerome's eyes. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and shook his head slightly. "Forgive me, Dr. Lloyd. I've said too much. It's been a long time since I talked to anyone about that part of the past. I'm not even sure why, but something about seeing you reminded me of my friend, and the words

Andrew narrowed his eyes. "You said there's trouble around you, Mr. Thornton? What kind of trouble?" Jerome let out a cold snort. "Some people in the Southern Martial Union think I've held the position for too long. They're getting impatient, and I think you know exactly what that means. To be honest, even though all the evidence points to the Eastonians being responsible for my poisoning, I know for a fact that someone else is behind it." Andrew's unease, which had been quietly simmering, surged to the surface. "Do you have any idea who it is?" Jerome's expression turned icy. "I have a good guess. But right now, I don't have any concrete evidence yet. Still, it doesn't matter. These people aren't capable of flipping things around just yet. I am still more than enough to handle these rats in the dark." Andrew suddenly recalled something and gave a light laugh. "I believe that. It's clear everything's under your control. No wonder I was questioned by a martial king when I arrive

More than a dozen figures were sent flying across the courtyard, screaming in agony as they hit the ground. Blood spewed from their mouths as life left their bodies almost instantly. "Mr. Thornton, even Mr. Wallace has betrayed us. You need to be c-careful!" The last survivor clutched his chest and managed to get out a warning before his eyes bulged wide and he breathed his final breath. Andrew's expression grew sharp and alert. This man had clearly possessed martial king-level combat ability and was one of Jerome's trusted confidants. Yet, after just one exchange, he was already dead. Goldridge's martial world really played on another level. Not only were martial saints openly making moves, but they came in threes. Back in Blumedale, no matter how intense things got, they had never escalated to this scale. "Dr. Lloyd, stay close. Even if I die today, I won't let you get caught in the crossfire!" Jerome stood tall and fearless. He gave Andrew a nod before stepping over the
