Luna nodded, sighing with amazement. "I never would have imagined that he used to be that kind of person, someone with such genuine character. But if you two had such a great relationship back then, why did things change to the point where you're now completely at odds with each other?" Conrad's expression turned cold. "Like I said before, this whole thing was originally a carefully orchestrated setup by the organization. More precisely, it was designed to break down and test human hearts and human nature. "Both of us successfully returned from Aclania and passed the evaluation. But then the bombshell dropped. The organization announced that I had failed the assessment. Meanwhile, Andrew would become the only trainee in the program's history to achieve a perfect score, not only graduating with honors but also being groomed as the organization's next leader." He continued, "We're talking about the leadership of the organization here, the highest of the high command. This wasn't ju

After leaving the airport, Andrew did not call a cab. Instead, he walked slowly in a particular direction down the street. Natasha obediently followed without asking any questions, simply trailing behind him quietly. The man she had fallen for was someone who had always been the most dazzling person with his heroic presence. Yet at this moment, his silhouette somehow carried an indescribable sense of loneliness. That terrifying-looking Conrad must have been someone special to Andrew. Between them, there seemed to be much more than just hatred; there were countless untold stories from their past. Natasha was a perceptive woman, and her intuition picked up on all these subtle cues. Chetvine was a magnificent city with wide streets. Luxury cars of all kinds raced back and forth throughout the area, but at least half of them were pretending to pass by while actually keeping a close watch on Andrew. "Don't make any moves yet. Standby for orders," came the stern voice over the radi

"This is your home, isn't it?" Natasha could not help but ask. Andrew shook his head. "It used to be, but not anymore. This is just my house now." With that, he strode confidently through the entrance. At the Lloyd family compound's main gate, aside from two stone statues that looked run-down, there were no other decent decorations whatsoever. Unlike some nouveau riche families that hired martial kings or even martial saints as guards to display their prestige and extraordinary status, the Lloyd family compound was completely casual about security. The main gate stayed open 24 hours a day without fear of intruders. The entrance looked so shabby that anyone unfamiliar with the place might mistake it for an abandoned construction site. Once inside, however, the place was quite distinctive. At the very least, it was clean and well-maintained. Natasha began to notice people walking by. Each person hurried along with their heads down, seeming to carry heavy burdens on their mind

Sheena huffed angrily. "Get lost already. I don't want to see your face anymore. I was planning to test your strength, but now I see it's pointless since you're not even worth my time." Andrew looked unusually embarrassed, scratching his head awkwardly. He gave Natasha a meaningful look and quickly made his escape. The Lloyd family estate was massive, and the two of them wandered around for a while before reaching a ruined area. All that remained was a single broken-down shack standing alone among the debris. Natasha stared in disbelief. "Darling, please don't tell me this dump is where you and your father used to live." Andrew sighed helplessly. "This is it, unfortunately. What you're seeing now is what's left after someone destroyed it, but this place used to be magnificent. It was practically a palace." Natasha looked skeptical. Ever since Andrew had returned to the Lloyd family estate, she had noticed he seemed pretty pitiful. When facing that fierce woman earlier, his u

Donovan shook his head firmly. "No… You're completely wrong. Andrew isn't a defective product. He's chaos itself, a man of destiny that no one can truly understand. "The family can let you grow wild and even allow you to become the next leader of the Lloyd family, guiding our clan to conquer the world. But Andrew is different. If humanity shaped you into what you are, then Andrew represents the will of heaven itself. "And heaven's will cannot be influenced by anyone; heaven is heaven, and anyone or any external force that tries to control or influence it will meet their doom. Ten years ago, the Lloyd family stood by and watched as he and Reginald fled Chetvine, facing assassination attempts from all sides. "That was heaven's will at work, which is why we couldn't do anything, and wouldn't do anything." He continued, "Reginald might be the junior I favor the most, even more than you, but Andrew… Andrew is the true guide of this family. Because only he has the potential to le
