Chapter 1642
Author: Only For You
Late at night, the study in Driscoll residence was dimly lit. Maurice, who seemed to always hide in the shadows, asked in a low voice, "Joe hasn't stepped out since he came back this afternoon?"

Walter, the head of the Driscoll family's Shadow Division, whispered back, "That's correct, sir. He has remained in his room since returning during the day!"

Maurice frowned. "Did you send anyone to check on what's going on?"

Walter shook his head with a bitter smile. "I sent three different groups, sir. None of them got in. He even turned away his sisters."

Maurice let out a cold snort. "Something's off with him since he returned this afternoon, and I can feel it. Walter, tell him I want to see him."

Walter hesitated. "Sir, it's already pretty late. Maybe we should wait till morning?"

Maurice's voice turned sharp. "I know what time it is. But I can't sit back and watch Joe lose his focus just because of a girl. Go now. I need to hear from him what exactly is going on in his head!"

    Andrew just asked Mikayla one simple question. "You want me to work for the Owens family? Come on. "Mikayla, you're not exactly a kid anymore. Do you really think the Owens family deserves me? Or are you saying you do?" Mikayla's face flushed bright red with anger and humiliation. "Fine! Since you don't know what's good for you, forget it. Without the Sovereign's Apothecary backing you and with the Divine Alchemists actively suppressing you from above, I'd like to see how far you get in the world of alchemy." Andrew could not even be bothered to respond, simply turning and walking away without another word. Amari let out a bitter laugh as they left. "Andrew, walking away like this feels good and all, but Sovereign's Apothecary is still the most prestigious alchemist institution in all of Chetvine. Are we really going to start from scratch now? "Setting everything else aside, if we don't find a reliable group to align with, just securing the raw materials for alchemy is going t

    Brielle's voice dripped with disgust. "Get lost, Theon. From this day forward, we're done with each other. Don't think I don't know that all of this was orchestrated by your scheming and underhanded tactics. You think that by pushing Andrew out, you'll have complete control of Sovereign's Apothecary? Don't even dream of it." Theon's face twisted with shock and anger, clearly not expecting Brielle to turn on him so openly. "Madam Baxter, what do you mean by that? I've always treated you with the utmost respect. I never imagined you'd turn against me over Andrew. Is he really worth betting everything on?" Brielle let out a scornful laugh. "He's a ninth-grade supreme alchemist, which makes him at least as capable as you, if not more so. I'm not an idiot. When it comes to choosing between befriending him or aligning with a backstabbing snake like you, do you really think I'm blind enough not to see the obvious choice?" Theon's fury reached its peak. "Madam Baxter…" Before he could

    Seeing Titus refuse to budge, Brielle's fury reached a breaking point. "Titus, do you even understand what you're saying? Have you lost your mind? Every sect would kill to have a ninth-grade supreme alchemist, and you're trying to drive him away? Do you have any idea how much effort it took me to convince Andrew to stay here in the first place?" Titus let out a cold snort. "I neither know nor care to know. All you need to do is follow my orders." Brielle exploded. "Titus, are you completely out of your mind? I've already told you that Mr. Lloyd is a ninth-grade supreme alchemist, vastly superior to that Theon standing next to you. You already know this, yet you still want to treat him this way? Fine then, I'll report this directly to Mr. Bowen and let him decide how to handle your incompetence." Titus smiled with contempt. "Go ahead. Report it. But let me remind you, Mr. Bowen himself ordered that this man not remain in the Sovereign's Apothecary. You still don't seem to underst

    Titus was also an eighth-grade divine alchemist, equal to Amari in skill, but far superior in martial strength. As the Third Elder of the Divine Alchemists, his position alone spoke volumes. The Divine Alchemists were one of the most mysterious hidden sects in existence, and for Titus to hold such a title meant his strength was beyond question. After the pleasantries were exchanged, Titus got down to business, his gaze locking onto Andrew with a measured tone. "So, this must be the Dragon Prince of the Lloyd royal family, correct? "The Divine Alchemists have always stayed out of worldly power struggles. Our only principle is to craft superior remedies and exhaust the limits of alchemy itself. Therefore, Mr. Lloyd, I'm afraid you'll have to leave Sovereign's Apothecary." Andrew raised an eyebrow. "So this is you kicking me out?" Titus replied indifferently, "If that's how you want to see it, then sure. The Divine Alchemists have maintained a decent relationship with your fami

    Andrew let out a cold laugh. "Let's cut to the chase. The elder from the Divine Alchemist is one of Theon's people, right? And Theon's using his connections upstairs to push Brielle around and come after me, isn't he?" Amari's voice dripped with bitterness. "That's exactly it. Andrew, when we get in there, if things look bad, maybe we should play it smart and let Theon have this one." Andrew let out a cold snort. "Let him have it? I'm not interested in that. Worst case, I just walk away from Sovereign's Apothecary and start fresh somewhere else." Before long, Brielle led the way into Theon's courtyard, her purple veil swaying gracefully behind her. Andrew and Amari followed close behind. "Madam Baxter, you've arrived! Please, have a seat," Theon called out cheerfully, standing up from where he had been chatting with an elderly man. He flashed a warm smile at Brielle, but he completely ignored Andrew and Amari. In the courtyard, Mikayla and Caden stood watching the scene u

    Isabelle lifted her dress, trying to show her chest to Andrew. Andrew was speechless at how brazen she was. Eventually, he said, "Stop that. Go inside." Isabelle giggled. "Oh, sure, let's go inside. I almost forgot where we are… But I'm not shy, you know; you've seen it before anyway." It took Andrew a while, but he finally managed to get Isabelle to leave. Only then did he have time to head to the cafeteria for a meal. Luna had already finished eating and was back in the courtyard. Her tone was cold as she asked, "Your little fangirl left?" Andrew replied, "Yeah, she left. Have you eaten yet?" Luna shook her head. "I don't want to talk to you." "Then why are you talking to me?" he asked, exasperated. Luna ignored his question and shot back, "What's your relationship with that little brat from the Robertson family? Are you planning to make a move on her, too?" Andrew's face twitched. "So are you talking to me or not?" "I'm not," Luna said flatly, "but you still have
