Chapter 2232

    ---- Chapter 2232 On Andrew''s first night back in Chetvine, he and Natasha were happily settling into their rundown little cabin. Around midnight, Sheena showed up with nkets, tossed them down, and immediately left. Andrew was stunned Since when did Sheena act like this? By all logic, she would have rather seen him freeze to death. Natashaughed. "Darling, this ce might be a dump, but sharing a bed with you and holding you close makes me feel incredibly happy." Andrew felt a bit awkward. Lauren and the other girls had been trying repeatedly to video call him.


    However, he made excuses about it being toote and being too exhausted, turning them down. He was afraid that the video call would connect while he was holding Natasha. Such a shocking scene would surely drive Lauren and the others to immediately pack their bags and rush to Chetvine. They had told Andrew that if he got too desperate, he should not take advantage of poor Natasha. If he had any needs, he coulde to them instead. ---- They would be happy to keep Andrewpany for all-night battles Sheena had been keeping watch near the cabin for most of the night.


    Finally, she left with a thoroughly displeased expression. She grumbled, "Andrew really is hopeless. He brings home a beautiful older woman, and I thought he''d light up the night, show some fire. But nothing? Not even a spark? This brat isn''t.. impotent, is he? No, that won''t do. The Lloyd family''s best genes can''t be wasted like this." Shaking her head, she went back to rest, already nning to get Andrew some supplements the next day. Since they owed him so much, it was time for her to step up and take responsibility as his senior.


    "I''m sorry, Andrew..." Lying in bed, Sheena stared at the ceiling with tears in her eyes. She had no idea that just moments after she left, Andrew rolled over and pinned Natasha beneath him. "Darling, it''s already past three in the morning. You still want more?! Natasha mumbled sleepily, her voice soft andzy Andrew said with a straight face, "I''m not doing this for me. I''m helping you shake off the exhaustion from traveling all the way to Chetvine. Be good, arch that back." Natasha chuckled. "Fine, just love me hard already!" ---- "Mr.


    Turman, there''s something I absolutely must know," Luna said with righteous determination, her pale face tense with resolve. The military headquarters building zed with lights throughout the night. In fact, this ce always kept every floor illuminated. Every moment of every day, countless visible and hidden armed forces operated under itsmand and coordination. At this very moment, Philip, already in his 70s, was still pulling an all-nighter, directing a special forces unit on a mission abroad.


    The massive screens in themand center constantly switched between feeds and shed various data streams. Themand center was enormous, housing not just Philip, themanding officer, but over 200 other personnel. Everyone was focused on their respective duties, absorbed in their work. When he finally lifted his heavy eyelids and saw her, Philip said, Oh, it''s you, Luna. Look at the time, you should get some rest. You have a mission tomorrow." Luna replied coldly, "Mr. Turman, I won''t go back until I get the answers I need." Philip frowned. "I''m busy right now.


    Can''t it wait until tomorrow?" ---- Luna shook her head firmly. "No, I need to know now." Philip looked at his student and finally nodded. "Go on then, ask. But you know the rules: some things are ssified, and I can''t tell you everything. At least not yet." Taking a deep breath, Luna cut straight to the point. "Ten years ago, how did the Iron Cavalry getpletely wiped out? The squad captain andmanding officer, known as Shadow, the guy who supposedly never failed a mission... How exactly did he manage to be the only one who made it back?" Philip''s face darkened, his voice chilling.


    "Where did you hear the codename ''Shadow''? Of course... Conrad told you, didn''t he?" Luna opened her mouth, initially wanting to deny it. But ultimately, she realized that any deception would be useless against Philip. A general, especially her mentor, could see right through herpletely. "Yes, Conrad told me, but please don''t me him. Because even if he hadn''t told me, I would have eventually found this information in your ssified files. Shadow... or rather, the one without a body, without a name, without any record at all.


    That was Andrew''s codename in the secret organization, wasn''t it?" Philip''s gaze was icy as he locked eyes with Luna.<style>
