Chapter 119

Penulis: Only For You
Harvey scoffed. "As if our prestigious family would need to borrow any money. The very idea is laughable."

"Actually, Harvey, Nelson did mention you owed the bank money," Christina said. "I was planning to discuss that with you."

"Christie, do you really think that's possible?" Harvey smiled.

Irene jumped in and defended Harvey. "That idiot Nelson deserved to get fired for spreading such lies. My future son-in-law could easily pull out 150 million or even 1.5 billion if he wanted to."

Harvey waved dismissively, exuding poise and confidence. "Mrs. Stevens, you must be joking. A few hundred million, or even billions—that's a big deal. But to owe just a few million? Please, I wouldn't even bother with something so small."

Andrew stood up, clearly done with the conversation. Christina frowned and asked, "Andrew, are you leaving already?"

He replied flatly, "If I stay any longer, I'm afraid my intelligence will take a hit."

Christina's face darkened. "Fine, Mr. Lloyd. Don't l

    Flynn Lloyd, another middle-aged man from the group, nodded. "Alchemy has always been the exclusive domain of the ancient sects. Among them, the Divine Alchemists behind the Sovereign's Apothecary hold absolute control over the field. We all know how profitable and influential alchemy can be. It is powerful enough to establish a royal house on its own." He continued, "But for a family like the Lloyds, an old powerhouse with deep roots, turning the ship around or changing industries is nearly impossible. Not just us, the other two royal families and the five great clans can't break into the alchemy business either. "You've done something remarkable. Even if your Medicine God's Covenant is still small, your core strength as a ninth-grade supreme alchemist gives you the potential to bring it to the entire Holtrien, and maybe even beyond." Andrew replied calmly, "I'm not interested in dominating the industry. I just can't stand the Sovereign's Apothecary's arrogance. Besides, why sho

    Andrew went to see Donovan. Gesturing him to sit down, Donovan said with a smile, "Andy, have a seat!" However, Andrew did not sit. Instead, he glanced around the room and noticed that more than a dozen elders from the Lloyd family were present. These old-timers had never been particularly kind to Andrew. The Lloyd family could only have one direct heir, and back in the day, everyone, including Reginald, had chosen Sheena for that role. The outdated notion of "sons over daughters" did not exist in the Lloyd family. According to the previous patriarch's arrangements, Andrew had been groomed to be the family's shadow operative, while Sheena was meant to be the next head of the Lloyd family. One in the light, one in the shadows, working hand in hand. Yet, Andrew had broken that balance. He had walked away from the organization, ignoring both the family's orders and even the pressure and persuasion from Philip and other national leaders. From that moment, the Lloyd family's

    Victoria chuckled. "Don't pressure Andrew to answer that kind of dangerous question." Then, she turned to Andrew and said, "You should go. Patriarch Donovan is looking for you. As for Tiana and me, we're planning to head back to Gabo Creek tomorrow." Andrew frowned. "Why go back? You could both just stay here in Chetvine. Especially you. I promised I'd help you rebuild your energy core. I've already made some progress on that." There was a flicker of warmth in Victoria's eyes, but she quickly shook her head. "You fool. Don't waste your time worrying about me. You have your own goals, your own path to carve out. As for me, whatever happens, happens." Andrew's expression hardened. "That's not how I see it. I promised I'd help you recover, and I meant it. You've treated me like your own, so even if I have to walk through fire, I'll heal you. You need to believe that." Victoria stared at him for a long time. In her eyes flickered gratitude, joy, and something softer, something sh

    Andrew returned safely to Chetvine, though barely. The first thing he did was head straight to the old little cabin to let everyone know he was okay. Tiana and Victoria, the two stunning women who had been worried sick, finally sighed in relief when they saw him. Andrew casually mentioned that Reginald had shown up. Tiana immediately asked, "Did he ask about us?" Andrew opened his mouth, ready to lie and say that Reginald had been concerned about them. However, when he caught Victoria's half-smiling, knowing look, he wisely shut his mouth and stayed quiet. Lying never worked on a woman as sharp as Victoria. Tiana huffed. "Reggie has probably forgotten all about us by now. That heartless man… After everything we did for him… We were even willing to die for him." Victoria's tone was calm but firm. "Tiana, that's enough. Saying this in front of Andrew is meaningless. Reggie is his father, and you're not his real mother." Tiana snorted and turned to Andrew with a grin. "Do

    Jose frowned. "But just now, Andrew was already seriously injured. Yet he relied solely on the Godslayer to kill one person and severely wound another. Johnny and Bodhi from the Eastern Regions were both Martial Emperors... Sure, they were only at the first stage of martial emperor, but they were still martial emperors, and Andrew is still only at the Martial Saint stage." He continued, "A weapon is useless if you don't know how to use it. How did he manage to defeat them?" Guillermo snorted coldly. "Perhaps it really is as Reginald said. That pawn of his might be breaking out of the chessboard and stirring up trouble for me." Jose shook his head. "Mr. Vazquez, the pieces on your board don't just walk off whenever they please. I think Reginald's just messing with our heads. The real problem lies with that sword. If you want, I can handle it myself. I'll take the sword back and teach that brat a lesson." Guillermo shook his head. "Don't do anything reckless. The rules of the gam

    Andrew leaned on his sword, breathing hard. When he tilted his head, he was stunned to find that the blade of the Godslayer was not stained with a single drop of blood. Instead, it gleamed brightly under the light, almost unreal. Luna ran forward and asked, "How are you feeling?" Andrew shook his head. "I'm fine. Thank goodness for the Godslayer. Otherwise, we would've had to put in a lot more effort." Luna looked at the Godslayer with lingering fear, her expression complex. "This sword truly is a wicked blade. Andrew, I'm afraid that using it will eventually harm you." Andrew smiled. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. If it wanted to hurt me, it could do so anytime. Even Alfredo couldn't control it, so I certainly can't either. But look, it's well-behaved in my hands. Let's go. We'll need this sword to escape safely." Luna said, "Alright, but you need to stay vigilant at all times." However, Andrew did not share her worry. Godslayer felt almost alive, connected to him th
