Uriel lowered his head slightly and said, "Across all of Chetvine, you won't find many people with a motive like his. There are people who would dare to assassinate Jaden and have the strength to do it. But all things considered, only Mr. Lloyd would have such audacious boldness and capability." He added, "Still, from what we learned, Jaden's opponent was injured just as severely as he was. Yet just now, Andrew's aura was very stable. Though he did have some obvious external injuries, that alone isn't enough to confirm he was the one who tried to kill Jaden." Elaine snorted. "Don't overthink it. It was definitely him. Though I can't provide solid proof, he's had this seemingly harmless nature since childhood, yet he causes chaos everywhere and fears nothing, not even the sky falling. I even suspect that Benny, the heir of the Murphy family at the Grand Auction House, was taken out by him, too. Andrew is no easy target." Uriel pondered for a moment before speaking. "Ms. Theron, ab

Andrew nodded. "It's necessary. I'm looking for Silverthorn Monastery's Fang and Claw's Demise." Luna frowned. "Silverthorn Monastery's Fang and Claw's Demise might be refined, but it's not known for its destructive power. It's also just an Obscure-tier technique, not even Earthly-tier. Can I ask what you need it for?" Andrew smiled. "To kill someone." The light in Luna's beautiful eyes flickered twice. "Mr. Vazquez's subordinate, Jaden, recently survived an assassination attempt that nearly killed him. This incident has already caused quite a stir in Chetvine. Right now, all of Chetvine is looking for that audacious person. "And Jaden's greatest strength is his ability to transform into a beast. His special cultivation method gives him beast-like ferocity and brutality, and he can heal from even the most severe injuries. "So now, you just happen to be looking for Fang and Claw's Demise, a technique that might not be powerful overall, but is devastating against creatures with

Andrew looked a little embarrassed and rubbed his nose. "Oh, I meant you're my friend. And you're a woman, so technically, that makes you one of the women around me, right?" Luna's mood instantly lifted. "No problem with that." She smiled brightly and added, "Come on, I'll walk you out. By the way, I have some info on Jaden's whereabouts. Do you want it?" Andrew grinned. "If you're giving, I'm taking." Something flickered in Luna's heart, and she blurted out without thinking, "If you want it, then I'll give it to you." The moment the words left her mouth, her face turned bright red. What kind of shameless thing had she just said? How could she be so careless and blurt out something so suggestive? Thankfully, Andrew did not seem to notice anything odd. The two of them walked out of the Martial Tower together, and Luna personally saw him off until his figure disappeared down the road. Then, she turned back toward the tower. She had thought today's shift at the Martia

Elaine was furious, pointing a trembling finger at Valerie. "You're out of line! If you ever dare say something like that again, I'll tell Finnegan right away. I may not punish you myself, but he won't be so kind." Valerie scoffed. "I can stop talking about it, but don't even think about forcing me to marry. Elaine Theron, we used to be best friends. But I never imagined that while I treated you as my best friend, you wanted to become my stepmother. "By marrying my dad, you gained the status and power that countless people wouldn't even dare dream of. But have you ever thought about what a woman needs status and power for? Aren't those things men obsess over? What a woman should pursue most is freedom, independence, and strength." She added, "I'm different from you. In this lifetime, I only believe in myself and only love myself. Marriage? To me, that's an insult." Elaine's expression darkened as well. "Fine, since you're so uncooperative, I'll be blunt. The wedding gift they'r

Elaine's eyes lit up. "You mean Andrew can heal the damage to your energy core? If that's true, then it's simple. I'll go find him myself and ask him to treat you, Uriel." Uriel's eyes flickered with hope but soon turned uncertain. "Beg him, Ms. Theron? I'd rather not. And I don't want you to go either. Given your status, it's not right. Besides, I don't like that man, and I doubt I could ever bring myself to beg him." Elaine replied firmly, "Whether you like him or not doesn't compare to how important your life is. It's settled then. I'll find a way to talk to him and ask for his help." … Meanwhile, on Andrew's end, he was currently in his rundown place, calculating what other operations were needed before Medicine God's Covenant could open. He knew he needed to build some serious buzz because to rival the Sovereign's Apothecary, reputation was everything. Once they had prestige, they could attract talented alchemists and fresh recruits. Otherwise, it would just be him and A
