LOGINIn the darkness, Andrew's eyes gleamed fiercely. He knew Guillermo was finally ready to move with everything he had, because Reginald's message made that painfully clear. Judging by the situation, whatever was coming was not going to be small, especially since his own instincts reacted so violently. Right now, the safest thing for Andrew to do would naturally be to follow Reginald's advice and not leave Chetvine. That way, it would not matter who came. Even someone as arrogant as Alfredo would not dare make a move in Chetvine because that would be crossing the line.It was not as if there were no people who dared to break the rules. However, a powerhouse like Alfredo still lacked the standing to do so.Even Guillermo did not have that privilege!Despite that, Andrew knew he had to leave Chetvine, and he would definitely leave Chetvine because there was no way he would let Reginald fight alone. The main thing was that if he kept staying in Chetvine, this standoff would just keep
Luna said wistfully, "I've applied so many times, but I've been rejected every time. It's not just me; Valerie has the same ambition, but neither of us has succeeded. Oh, and Conrad, too. He's tried to join several times as well."Andrew sneered coldly, "Conrad had a golden opportunity right in front of him. Unfortunately, he met every requirement except one: his mindset wasn't strong enough. Luna, you must remember that to join the organization, combat ability isn't the primary factor; it's not even that important."After all, if someone's martial arts skills are mediocre, they wouldn't even be considered in the first place. Exceptional martial arts talent is just the basic requirement, the absolute bare minimum prerequisite for joining the organization. What's really being tested is your mind."It's about how you act and how you stay calm in extreme situations, in desperate situations. It's about whether you can remain fearless and unafraid when facing the Dark Clans, who've been
Andrew's self-mocking smile deepened. "Yeah. Back then, I was completely lost in my own pride. People are like that. When we're young, we feel unbeatable, unstoppable, like everything in life is possible. Then life hits you hard and teaches you a lesson you never forget."Luna spoke softly, "I won't let you talk about yourself like that. Andrew, you have no idea how incredible you were back then."She kissed him quickly and pulled back right away.Andrew felt the warmth on his lips, and his emotions finally steadied a little."In front of someone like Constantine, a pure-blood Dark Clan powerhouse, I never had a real chance. Back then, my brothers were already gone one after another. I only had one thought left… Besides dying, there was one thing I had to do, and I had to finish it. After that, I planned to die immediately. I didn't want to keep living anyway."So I watched myself tear that werewolf prince to shreds with my own eyes. At the time, I was in a strange state; my consc
Andrew drew in a deep breath, looking at the sky as he said, "Back then, my target was Constantine Dracul, the Vampire Prince of the Dark Trinity. I honestly didn't think much of it at first because even though Constantine was already a martial god, he had just broken through. I was only a martial emperor, but I trusted the strength of the Iron Cavalry." He added, "Forget about Constantine, even if another martial god showed up, we could have still pulled out alive. But nothing went the way I expected. It was a trap, a deliberate setup that forced me to watch the entire Iron Cavalry get wiped out."And that burning feeling in my body and that boiling, killing intent weren't battle adrenaline. They were instinctive warning signals, a plea for me to stop, a gut feeling telling me not to go any deeper."He paused, lowering his head with pain in his eyes. "But I didn't know any of that back then. And after that… everything ended."A sharp ache hit Luna's chest. She gently embraced And
Night covered everything, dark and heavy like ink. Yet, if someone looked down from miles above, Chetvine still shone the brightest with its city lights.Andrew walked the streets with Luna, slightly buzzed from the drinks.Aspen and the other two women had already gone back to the Lloyd family estate. They had purposely left this time for Luna and Andrew to be alone. Since Luna had just joined their circle, the three had been considerate enough to give her space."What's on your mind, Luna?" Andrew asked with a playful smile.Luna walked quietly beside him and shook her head. "Nothing. You're going to Mount Lourneau for the final seal in your energy core, aren't you?"Andrew nodded. "That's right. I have two solid leads and opportunities. The first is to seek out the Eastern Wanderer, a master from the Umbral Peak Sect. The Reyes family is backed by this hidden sect, but the chances of success aren't very high."Luna nodded. "I know about the Umbral Peak Sect. That sect operates
Julius' abrupt departure drew complaints from some of the attendees at the estate.Someone commented, "Mr. Bowen really doesn't care about what others think, does he? He comes and goes as he pleases."Another chimed in, "That's just how he is. What can you do? The Divine Alchemists are just that powerful."Someone else snorted and said, "Yeah, the Divine Alchemists were so mighty that Reginald stormed right into their headquarters. They were so mighty they couldn't do a single thing to him for years."Hearing the mocking tone spreading across the room, Guillermo raised his hand in a calming gesture. "Alright, Mr. Bowen had business to attend to, so we let him leave first. All you need to know is that when the fighting starts, Mr. Bowen will be the first one to strike."Kelvin laughed. "Of course he will! Mr. Bowen probably dreams about killing Reginald every night."Guillermo nodded. "Reginald's situation is straightforward enough. It'll be king versus king, a direct head-on conf
