Chapter 1730
Author: Only For You
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Andrew firmly declined, "Thank you for your kind offer, Mrs. Peck, but I find your proposal absolutely ridiculous!"

He could already see the same madness in Victoria that Tiana had shown before. No doubt, her outrageous request stemmed from two things.

First, like Tiana, if not worse, Victoria was the kind of woman who wielded power without caring about norms or taboos. Keeping a man like a pet was something she did without a second thought.

Second, she clearly saw Andrew as a replacement for his father.

And that was both understandable and utterly twisted.

"So you're saying no to me?" Victoria asked coldly, her smile vanishing.

Andrew's tone remained steady. "Yes, I'm saying no. Mrs. Peck, I'm not the kind of man who does things casually. What you proposed wasn't just inappropriate, but it crossed a line."

He added, "You're a senior. I'm the younger one here. We're generations apart, and we have no emotional connection whatsoever

    When Sheena returned to her quarters, she was completely stunned. Andrew's room was a wreck. The furniture was overturned, and the air was thick with heat and tension. Luna and Valerie were sprawled unconscious on the floor, while Andrew sat cross-legged on the bed, his body radiating intense heat like a furnace. "Sheena, you're back!" Andrew rasped hoarsely, forcing a faint smile despite the strain on his voice. Sheena asked, "What happened? What's wrong with you? And why are those two unconscious?" Andrew winced slightly in pain as he smiled bitterly, "They both depleted too much energy. After I woke up, I forcibly pushed them away, which caused them to pass out. As for me, well, I was careless." Sheena stepped forward and checked on him, her expression grave. "Andrew, the energy inside your body is getting more violent. This energy is so massive and abundant, it's almost unbelievable. What did you eat or absorb?" Andrew said helplessly, "Last night, I ate a piece of B

    Alfredo did not seem to care and simply smiled. "Alright then, let's get to business. The Lloyd family has two Dragons, and you're one of them. Tell me, are you really set on challenging me?" He chuckled softly. "My sword may be a fine whetstone, but Sheena, you should know that it comes with great risk. Sometimes, the risk isn't worth the reward." Sheena clasped her hands in respect. "Thank you for the warning, Mr. Topsfield Senior, but my decision is made. This battle will end with either life or death." Alfredo remained unmoved, still maintaining his indifferent demeanor. "May I ask why you'd come all the way from Chetvine just to challenge me? As far as I know, Chetvine has plenty of strong martial artists who could help refine your martial arts." Sheena replied, "It's simple. If I'm going to challenge someone, I'll go straight for the strongest, the most formidable. That's the only way to achieve my goal." Alfredo seemed slightly more interested, "As expected of someone

    Meanwhile, Andrew's consciousness was in chaos. His body felt unbearably uncomfortable, as if it was tearing apart from the inside. He could feel two completely different streams of energy entering his body, merging with his own inner power and the Blood Pith's force; four energies raging through him at once. If it had been anyone else, their body would have exploded by now. However, Andrew was not like anyone else; his constitution was one in a million. Unseen by anyone, the Blood-Eyed Black Dragon mark on his chest began to glow faintly. As the Blood Pith's power circulated and was slowly absorbed, the glowing dragon mark on his chest shimmered brighter and brighter, burning with life. Neither Luna nor Valerie noticed it, though. Both women were drenched in sweat, not saying a word. They could feel that the situation had reached a critical point. The energy within their bodies, while already quite abundant, was just a trickle compared to the violent storm inside Andrew. Bot

    Andrew's face was filled with uncertainty. He was not sure if Alfredo had already stepped into the level of a martial god. After all, Alfredo had already reached the final stage of the martial emperor level years ago. Although entering the martial god realm was a martial artist's greatest hurdle, no one could say for sure whether Alfredo had made progress over these years. "Damn it!" Andrew grumbled. It looked like he had no choice but to take the Blood Pith after all. The danger inside Swordhaven Keep was way higher than he had expected. With that in mind, he jumped down from the rooftop and went into his room. Then, he swallowed the blood-red Blood Pith in one gulp. Instantly, it felt like his entire body sank into a sea of blood. The burning and tearing sensations in his soul made him tremble uncontrollably until his legs gave out and he collapsed onto the floor. Then, everything went black. … The next day, Sheena knocked on the door. However, Andrew did not respond.

    As soon as Jericho left, Alfredo's sword, Firefly, trembled in his hand, letting out a clear whistling sound. Incredibly, it flew from his hand on its own and embedded itself into the scabbard on the wall. "Controlling a sword without touching it… That's a power only the ancient sword saints had." Half of Alfredo's face was hidden in the shadows, his tone low and amused. "A girl like her isn't a problem. Even if he fights with one hand, it won't make a difference." He raised his hand again and forcefully pulled at the wall. Firefly, along with its scabbard, whooshed back into Alfredo's hand in an instant. Then, the cabin door opened on its own without any wind. Alfredo's figure blurred like a shadow and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the clearing in front of the cabin. After a few flickers, he disappeared into Swordheaven Keep's forest. Without his sword, Alfredo could be killed. But with his sword in hand, no one on this land could defeat him. This w

    The words that had been on the tip of Jericho's tongue got stuck there. He stared blankly at Alfredo, wanting to ask, "Dad, do you even hear yourself right now?" Instead, he cleared his throat and said, "Dad, there's someone else who came with Sheena. Reginald's son, Andrew." Alfredo's hand froze mid-polish on the sword. "Interesting! Reginald's son, the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, inheritor of the Lloyd family ancestors' totem. He's supposedly even more outrageous than Sheena. "Back in the day, Reginald and I fought to a draw, or so people thought. In reality, I lost to him by half a move. And now, his son has come to my territory. Tell me, Jericho, how do you think I feel about that?" Jericho smiled, "Dad, don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll make sure that Andrew pays a little price for it." Alfredo shook his head. "Do you really think I need to prove myself by picking on a kid? He's still young and hasn't even reached his full potential. To me, he's nothing worth mentioning.
