Andrew stayed on guard, secretly afraid that Nyx's arrogant temper might snap and that she would lash out and hurt someone. But thankfully, she had restrained herself and did not abuse her power or bully anyone.From the looks of it, Nyx knew exactly where the line was. She understood that Luna and Valerie were special to Andrew, and she could not really lay a hand on them.Luna was completely stunned by Valerie's boldness and wild imagination, almost stumbling on the spot.After forcing an awkward laugh, she lifted her chin and put on a tough expression, as if to say, "We are really going to do this, Nyx. What can you do about it?"In truth, Luna's heart was already burning with embarrassment. Her personality was the total opposite of Valerie's. She tended to be reserved and calm, while Valerie exploded at the slightest spark and never backed down.In the end, the three women turned their gazes toward Andrew at once, all clearly up to no good and filled with anger.Nyx said cold

The next day arrived, and the weather was still bright and clear. Andrew stood at the highest point of Throne Hall and looked out over the entire Wastelands.Merchants, mercenaries, and refugees were gradually entering Throne City. Little by little, the city returned to a scene of bustling prosperity.Conrad sighed and said, "Honestly, if you stayed overseas as an uncrowned king and lived like this for the rest of your life, it would not be bad at all."Andrew smiled and said, "I have thought about it too. After I settle the grudges back home and find my father in the Veiled Paradise, I might actually consider coming back to Throne City to retire."Conrad smiled wistfully. "I really envy you. But that's all I can do, envy. Achievements like yours, becoming king of the Outlands, aren't something just anyone can accomplish."Franz walked over and patted Conrad's shoulder. "Here you are again, getting all sentimental! But you're not wrong. Andrew's accomplishments now are beyond your

The towering Azure Gate gradually appeared in the distance. After circling twice, the helicopters descended toward the ground. Franz had already obtained permission to enter the border in advance. Therefore, Andrew's party arrived directly inside the gate.The military garrison at Azure Gate stepped forward to salute. "General Hearst, welcome back!" Franz held the rank of Major General in the military. After returning the salute, Franz said, "This is the leader of the Dragonfang organization. The Dragon Prince of Holtrien's Lloyd family, Mr. Andrew Lloyd!"That soldier's expression turned fervent as he snapped another salute. "Mr. Andrew Lloyd, welcome home."The soldiers behind him also stared at Andrew with burning eyes, unable to stop looking.Nyx whispered with a smile, "Honey, you seem to be quite the celebrity in your country. You can tell just by their reactions."Andrew nodded to each of those soldiers as a gesture of acknowledgment, then headed toward Swordhaven Kee

Moments before, Alfredo had stood up in his agitation upon seeing Andrew. Now, Andrew had naturally taken his seat, completely ignoring his presence.It was a brutal slap to the face, a direct insult to him, the number one figure in the Eastern Regions and a top-three name on the Holtrien Titan List. Alfredo should have drawn his sword and struck immediately, but once again, he chose to endure. Aside from his wariness of Nyx, he also could not gauge Andrew's true strength. Currently, Andrew's reputation had soared in the Outlands, but few within Holtrien knew the details. After all, his capture of Throne City and his destruction of the Ludendorff family, the King of the Wasteland, had all happened within just a few days.Furthermore, news of the Cathedral army's defeat and retreat to Lomuia had not spread widely, as Lomuia itself was too ashamed to publicize such a disgrace. Therefore, the commotion around Andrew had not really spread abroad, let alone back home.However, Guille

Andrew looked down expressionlessly. "Mr. Topsfield Senior, you still remember the Godslayer, don't you? You'd better not move around. This bloodthirsty weapon is quite eager for blood. If I'm not careful and it slits your throat, then you, the Sword Saint, will be dead just like that."Pinned to the ground, Alfredo did not dare move anymore. He could only crane his neck and roar in humiliation."H-How are you this strong now?" Andrew sneered coldly. "If I wasn't strong enough, do you think I'd come looking for your life? I still remember, Mr. Topsfield Senior, how spirited and arrogant you were. Back when Sheena and I came to the Eastern Regions, to your territory, you really put on quite a show."Alfredo gritted his teeth. "Andrew, why must you bring up old matters to humiliate me? If you're going to kill me, just kill me. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"Andrew lifted his greatsword and drew a half-circle arc through the air.Alfredo screamed in agony, veins bulging on
