Valerie looked at him and could not help but feel her heart tighten. She stepped forward, gripped Andrew's hand, and said softly, "No matter what happens, I'll be by your side. So don't worry!"…"Sir, someone's here asking to see Mr. Johnston!" An apprentice holding Andrew's handwritten letter bowed to the figure ahead.The man turned around. He was tall and elegant with long hair cascading over his shoulders. He said flatly, "Harlan, don't you know Mr. Johnston is in seclusion? I already told you, he's not seeing anyone. Tell them to leave!"The man was Roman Lawrence, one of Mount Lourneau's senior elders. He was Luther's eighth junior apprentice and currently managed Mount Lourneau's secular affairs.Harlan Kopernik, the apprentice who had come forward, replied respectfully, "Sir, I know Mr. Johnston is in seclusion, but Ms. Reyes has come again. I figured since she isn't an ordinary person, I thought you should make the call."Roman snorted. "So what if she's from the Reye

Valerie let out a cold laugh. "I'm not wasting breath on you guys, but I remember your face, so you'd better watch yourself next time!"She pulled the letter from Andrew's jacket. Andrew said in a steady voice, "I'm Andrew of Chetvine, from the Lloyd royal family, and this is a handwritten letter from our patriarch. I need to see Mr. Johnston, so please relay the message." The moment they heard the Lloyd royal family mentioned, the apprentices all looked stunned. Behind them, a young apprentice who looked barely 15 brightened in excitement and asked, "The Lloyd royal family's Andrew? So you're the famous Lloyd family's Dragon Prince of Holtrien?"Before Andrew could reply, Valerie already answered proudly, "At least someone here has eyes. Yes, he's Holtrien's one and only Dragon Prince."The teen stared at Andrew, studying him from head to toe. Then, he frowned in confusion. "But Mr. Baker said you were already crippled. For a martial artist to be injured this badly is almost

Valerie wiped away her tears, her eyes still red. "Don't think saying these things will make me forgive you! Andrew, you're really infuriating. What you did to me before… I still remember it!"Andrew assumed she was talking about the time he had stripped her clothes off, so he just smiled and did not press the issue.However, Valerie was actually thinking about the time at the foot of the Advanced Medical Institute's mountain when Andrew had shaken the peach blossoms for her. For Luna, he had gently shaken the blossoms with his hand. For her, he had just kicked the tree.It was such a tiny detail, but for a girl in love, it cut deeper than any wound.Valerie had always acted brash and carefree, but once she fell for someone, she became so fragile it would make anyone ache for her. That moment had stuck in her heart like a splinter she could not pull out. Even so, she also did not dare bring it up, because she feared Andrew really had seen her as less than Luna.If that were true

Andrew looked at her giggling and could not help feeling surprised. Valerie, who had always been loud, stubborn, and impossible to reason with, suddenly showed such tenderness and care that he froze. He honestly did not know how to react.If this had been any other time, her help would not have meant much. Yet now, when his injuries were this severe, he had relied entirely on her to climb all the way to Mount Lourneau. Her help felt like a lifesaving debt. How was he supposed to repay that?Andrew stayed quiet, but he was not clueless about why Valerie treated him this way. It was obviously because of their feelings as a man and a woman. As he thought about whether he should keep rejecting and ignoring her, he realized he just could not."Andrew, what are you thinking about?" Valerie asked.When she saw him spacing out, her face suddenly turned pale. She whispered, "Don't tell me you're thinking about Luna or all your other women?"Andrew lifted his head and looked at her with
Chapter 2806
Mount Lourneau stood tall and pristine, a place famed for producing generations of elite martial artists. Even after 1000 years, its reputation still carried unmatched weight.Technically, it was not located in Northern Holtrien, but in the eyes of traditional fighters, Mount Lourneau was still considered one of the giants of the Northern Martial Union.Because of that, Luther Johnston, the head of Mount Lourneau, was regarded as the Union Leader. Of course, that title only belonged to someone with overwhelming strength.Besides, Luther was indeed acknowledged as the strongest fighter alive since he was ranked first on the Titan List.Typically, ancient sects such as the Advanced Medical Institute, the Divine Alchemists, and the Thunder Sect did not consider themselves part of the modern martial world.The reason was simple: pride.Take the Divine Alchemists, for example. Julius never wanted his name on the Titan List because he felt it was beneath him. To these ancient sects, mar

Back in Chetvine, Nigel and his squad returned to the Lloyd family estate just as daylight broke. As the division head, Nigel was drenched in blood, and the sight made every other department head in the council hall tense up immediately.At the head of the table, Donovan's expression was dark as he asked, "Did you find Andrew?"Nigel unstrapped his bloodstained saber and slammed it onto the table before he finally caught his breath."I'm sorry, Patriarch Donovan. I failed. I couldn't find Andrew. But he should still be alive."He had said "alive," not "safe," which only made the news slightly better than the worst-case scenario.Donovan suddenly roared, "Keep searching! Even if it's just a body, I want every inch of this land turned upside down until you find it."The other department heads flinched. They had served the Lloyds for years, yet it had been a long time since they had seen Donovan completely lose his temper. Nigel reported coldly, "Patriarch Donovan, on this mission
