Donovan nodded repeatedly. "Andrew, you're truly more suited than Sheena to lead the family. The crown is heavy, and whoever wishes to wear it must bear its weight. I see that potential in you." Andrew said nothing more, took his leave, and departed. He did not care at all about the Advanced Medical Institute's survival, but those dozen alchemists were a prize worth having. He had to get his hands on them! Medicine God's Covenant absolutely had to rise. This was crucial to Andrew's future influence in Holtrien's martial world. Medicine God's Covenant did not even need to surpass Sovereign's Apothecary. Just matching them would be enough for him to control half the martial world from behind the scenes. And as luck would have it, good news always comes in waves. When Andrew returned to his small, rundown cabin, Eric was already there waiting for him. The moment he opened his mouth, his tone was as arrogant as ever. "Since you've been dying for me to show up, here I am! Oh, an

Chapter 2632
In the Cunningham residence, Otto stood with a gloomy expression, hands clasped behind his back. He stared at the Cunningham family ancestor's portrait on the wall at the far end of the hall. That was the Cunningham family's first peerless martial god. Beside him stood Jose, Guillermo's top aide and most trusted man. Jose smiled politely and said, "Mr. Cunningham Senior, you can rest easy. According to Mr. Vazquez, Conrad still has more than a fair chance in this battle." However, Otto seemed not to hear his words at all. He continued staring intently at the wall, at the portrait. After a while, he finally spoke. "Mr. Castillo, you know my ancestor once had another identity, don't you?" Jose froze. "I don't. Please enlighten me, Mr. Cunningham Senior." Otto turned around and said calmly, "My ancestor was once a foot soldier. He served as the vanguard to the royal Lloyd family's great general. In other words, my family's founder started as nothing more than a servant, a m

Glancing at his anxious and conflicted prized student, Philip asked, "So what do you want me to do? I told Conrad that he and Andrew are not birds of a feather. Andrew looks like a goofy little sparrow, while Conrad thinks he's a phoenix about to take flight. "He imagined his ugly wings would still carry him skyward, but fate doesn't follow anyone's pretty fantasies when it pulls the strings. Andrew's sparrow feathers would fall away, and Conrad would see he wasn't facing a dumb bird but a massive beast with wings that shaded the sky." He continued, "When Conrad realized he wasn't a phoenix, he started telling himself he was a hawk, but what he actually was didn't matter. Those whose minds stayed immature and were ruled by old obsessions needed to be taught with blood and pain so the lesson would sink in." Luna ground her teeth. "But that lesson shouldn't cost Conrad his life." Philip sneered. "When Andrew was fighting for his life, what was Conrad doing? I'm not giving Conrad

The last time Andrew came to Martial Tower, it was to duel with Wilder from the Murphy family. Now he stepped into the same arena once again, but this time, his opponent was someone else: Conrad. Isabelle, Valerie, and Eric all walked into the arena room to watch the battle. "Conrad, I hope you win!" Isabelle said seriously, her eyes locked on him. But then her gaze shifted toward Andrew. She turned her head back to Conrad. "Actually, Conrad… Sorry, but you should probably kneel and admit defeat now." Conrad, who had been meditating with his eyes closed to steady his energy, opened them in irritation. Her words had thrown off his focus. He glanced at Isabelle and scoffed. "I'm afraid that I'm going to disappoint you." Isabelle pouted. "Whatever. I'm supporting Andrew." Valerie said, "I'm supporting you too, Andrew." Isabelle sneered. "No need. There aren't many decent people in the Reyes family anyway. You should cheer for Conrad. Andrew already has me on his side."

Andrew nodded. "That's a bit low, but I guess it'll do. Alright then, I'll allow you to livestream. Set up the camera behind my back." The crew leader was overjoyed. "Mr. Lloyd, are you serious?" Andrew glared at him. "Of course, I'm serious. I'm about to kill someone. Do I look like I'm joking? However, out of the 500 million you collected, 300 million needs to go to me. Consider that money as my broadcasting fee. Sounds fair?" The man looked at Andrew as if he were staring at the devil himself. Meanwhile, Valerie and the others were in disbelief. Andrew always found a way to pull something like this at the most ridiculous times. Conrad sneered. "Don't come crying when it backfires. But whatever, if you want to screw around, that's your problem. I just want a clear conscience." Andrew snapped, "Cut the act! I used to ignore you because I was giving you some respect, but you're no longer a kid. If I keep holding back, what does that make me? And that old bastard Otto? One d

Inside the arena room, everyone watching held their breath. Eric was shocked. He thought, 'It hasn't been that long, and Andrew has already gotten even stronger. The gap between us has really widened. Damn it!' Isabelle said smugly, "Andrew will definitely win. If he doesn't win, I'll help him! I'll sneak up and finish Conrad off myself!" Valerie's eyes remained fixed on Andrew without blinking for even a moment. He had grown stronger, more formidable. Her hope for revenge was becoming even more distant. Was this what it meant to be powerless? To just lie down and take it like a victim who could not fight back? She clenched her fists, refusing to surrender. She hissed, "No way!" Luna, meanwhile, feared Andrew would get hurt. However, she also worried something would happen to Conrad. Her emotions were incredibly conflicted. Conrad roared, "Andrew! Is dodging all you can do?" At that moment, Conrad's attacks grew more ferocious. The Cunningham family's signature techni

Conrad stood tall, facing Andrew at an angle like a judge delivering a sentence. He raised his voice and said, "Well? Are you convinced now? Have you realized your place?" A low laugh echoed from the corner where Andrew stood. He did not say much, just wiped the blood off his mouth and gestured. "Come on, again!" Conrad frowned. "I hope you can hold out a little longer. I don't want to finish you off too quickly, because if I do, all the anger I've held in for years won't get the release it deserves." Andrew did not reply. He charged forward and attacked again. Soon, they were locked in another fierce exchange. Isabelle's voice turned cold. "Conrad's hitting too hard." This time, Valerie did not argue with her. "Both of them are fighting for real. So it doesn't matter who's hitting harder. It's just that Andrew's at a disadvantage, and Conrad looks a notch stronger." Luna shook her head, though. "That's not it." She looked conflicted as she watched Andrew attacking with

Guillermo explained, "Because no matter how strong a person is, they could never be stronger than the feelings and softness in their heart. Conrad isn't his enemy, much less his mortal foe. Deep in Andrew's heart, he still holds the recognition and brotherhood he once had for Conrad. As long as he still remembers the bond, he can't truly kill Conrad." He added, "But Conrad doesn't think that way. People who constantly talk about justice and revenge often end up becoming slaves to both. Conrad and Otto were cut from the same cloth. Maybe they both realized they'd gone too far in their grudges, but that pathetic human weakness made them numb to it. They'd rather keep walking down the wrong road than turn back. "So no matter what, Conrad would fight to the death to kill Andrew. Because he needed to prove that all his hatred, everything he'd felt toward Andrew, had been righteous, had been justified." Jose stayed silent for a moment before shaking his head. "I think people who train

Chapter 2639
On the Cunningham family's side, Otto let out a long breath. Then, he looked around and laughed heartily. "Conrad truly hasn't disappointed me. He has the strength to openly crush this cursed dragon from the Lloyd family. No other tactic could compare to taking him down personally. Excellent… Absolutely excellent!" He repeated the word several times, and it was clear he was in an exceptionally good mood. The Cunningham family members around him all looked proud, as if the day itself had turned in their favor. Otto had tried various schemes and failed to eliminate Andrew. But now, Conrad was killing Andrew through his own direct challenge. This was undoubtedly a moment of tremendous prestige for the Cunningham family! … Inside the Martial Tower, Conrad was in high spirits, mocking Andrew, "Andrew, if this is your limit, then I can't wait to send you on your way." His strikes were bold and sweeping, occupying absolute advantage. Andrew said nothing, backed against the wall.

Andrew's hair began to lift even though there was no wind. Beneath those strands, his eyes slowly turned crimson without him realizing it. At that moment, Andrew looked like a raging beast on the edge of losing control. He said, "I gave you a chance. I even tried to convince myself that our old friendship was reason enough to hold back. But it seems you really don't know when to quit. "You honestly think you're here to play judge and jury, to punish me? No. To me, you're nothing but a man trapped in the past: weak, cowardly, and completely useless." Conrad's face twisted with fury. "You bastard! What did you just say?" The red light in Andrew's eyes flared. "I said you're pathetic. A coward, through and through!" The moment he spoke, Luna and the others froze in horror. Andrew tilted his head to dodge Conrad's killing strike, then locked his arms around Conrad's neck. In an instant, the two of them crashed sideways into the steel wall. The impact thundered across the ro
