"Praise the Eternal Eclipse." At that moment, a religious chant rang out. Matthias, the plump, fair-faced abbot, finally took his seat. "Mrs. Peck, please calm yourself." Victoria's expression gradually relaxed. "Sorry, Abbot Graves. I didn't mean to cause a scene." After speaking, she lowered her head and began eating the vegetarian meal. She served food to Andrew, Liliana, and Miles. Liliana stuck out her tongue and whispered to Andrew, "That's just how it is. When my dad drinks, he gets really nasty. But as soon as my mom gets angry, he doesn't dare act up!" Andrew did not comment. To him, Calvin was pathetic. Without Victoria, Andrew would have killed him long ago. Back in Goldridge, he had already thought about putting this waste of space down. After a few minutes of eating, Victoria set down her spoon and said, "Abbot Graves, I have a request. I want to help Andrew become King of Gabo Creek. Right now, we just need one powerful figure to support us. So I'd like to

Liliana stole a glance at him and quickly looked away. "Andrew, I'm sorry for my previous ignorance. I hope you won't hold it against me." Andrew smiled. "Hold what against you? You're Victoria's daughter, so there's no reason for me to." Liliana made a sound of agreement. Then, she casually said, "Maybe, and I mean maybe, we could become closer in the future. Mom has always hoped we could be friends. I think we could give it a try." By this time, Victoria had finished praying, and Andrew turned to leave. "I'm sorry. I don't have much time. Let's talk about it later." Liliana was left standing there, feeling somewhat resentful but not daring to act out. She stamped her foot and hurried to catch up. A young novice monk ran up and called out in a soft voice, "Mrs. Peck, Mr. Lloyd… Abbot Graves has arranged a vegetarian lunch and invites you to join him." Victoria smiled. "Andrew, come on. The vegetarian meals here are amazing." Andrew grinned. "Alright, then I'll definitely

Liliana stayed completely silent the entire ride up to the cathedral, not saying a single word. Andrew did not care how she felt. Besides, he was not in the mood to bother figuring it out. Once they got out of the car, he casually looked around. Though the air was cold, the sun was shining, casting a warm glow that made the chill more bearable. However, the breeze up at the summit was strong, and Andrew reminded Victoria to keep warm. "Come on," Victoria said as she linked arms with him. "Let me introduce you to the abbot here." Andrew felt a bit awkward, but he did not pull away. Behind them, Calvin and Miles exchanged glances. Miles gave a wry smile and said, "Mom really likes Andrew… but it's more like an elder admiring a junior, that's all." Calvin scoffed. "You're pathetic. You and Liliana both. He's an outsider, yet he's more well-liked than you two. I really don't know how you can stand it." Miles shrugged. "Honestly, I think Andrew is a great role model. Ther

Liliana had been listening from the backseat, and her eyes widened in shock. She asked in disbelief, "Mom, what are you even talking about with him? Andrew? He thinks he can become King of Gabo Creek? Seriously?" She could not believe what she was hearing, and her voice carried a mocking tone. Victoria let out a cold chuckle. "You're just like your father, always dismissing others without knowing a damn thing. Let me ask you this: if Andrew's not good enough, are you?" Liliana shrank back, feeling a little wronged. "Of course I'm not worthy. I wouldn't even dare think about something like that. But Andrew? Come on, Mom. How could you actually believe he is?" Victoria scoffed. "Maybe if you spent less time partying and more time paying attention to what's going on in Blumedale, you wouldn't sound so ignorant. Didn't you hear a single word of what we were just talking about?"Andrew's already a top-tier figure in Gabo Creek, you clueless girl. At this point, the Five Apex Fami

Andrew immediately understood what Victoria meant. "Indeed, with my current connections and various relationships, I've definitely grown powerful here in Blumedale!" On the Wright family side, Andrew controlled things remotely through Yara. The Keller family could be considered completely under his influence. As for the Goldings, while they were not exactly close, the tension from before had vanished now that his power had grown. Most grudges in this world, truthfully, were easy to resolve. As long as you were strong enough, people would come around smiling, saying stuff like, "Let bygones be bygones." Among the Five Apex Families, the remaining Haywoods were Andrew's mortal enemies. However, Andrew had reached a point where he did not even take them seriously anymore. In Gabo Creek, there were several major powers: the Three Titans and Derek. Andrew's relationship with Derek was out in the open. At least, Derek already knew his identity as the Dragon Prince of the Lloyds.

Victoria waved her hand dismissively. "Listen to me, let's put that matter aside for now. Andrew, do you know what special day today is?" Andrew paused, looking puzzled. "Today? It's still about ten days until Renewal Day, so I can't think of what special day it would be!" Victoria smiled. "Today is Kindling Night for us in the South. When I was little, my mentor would always celebrate it with me and my fellow apprentices at the training grounds. Come on, I want to take you to experience it too." Andrew grinned. "Sounds great!" In the Peck residence, several cars were already running. Flower arrangements, along with various offerings, were neatly arranged in colorful displays that looked absolutely beautiful. Wealthy families always paid attention to details and honored traditional holidays. Calvin approached them with a flattering smile. "Victoria, let's go. It's almost time!" Victoria walked with Andrew, followed by Miles and Liliana. Miles was reasonably polite
