---- Chapter 2533 "Conrad, this might be thest time I regard you as my senior. Take care of yourself. I''ll keep an eye on Andrew. If you move against him, I''ll stand against you." Luna tossed a cold farewell and climbed into the car, ordering them to drive back to the city. In the endless darkness of night, Conrad stood alone for a long while. Then, veins bulged on his face, making him look utterly savage. "Andrew, you bastard! You think taking away the people I care about means you''ve beaten me?
You''re despicable, but I''ll cut you to pieces even if it breaks Luna." Andrew was still recovering from his old wounds, and new ones were already piling up. He had no idea if this turn of events was a blessing or a curse. The next day, he continued enjoying the devoted care of his girlfriends. After Rowan arrived at the Lloyd family estate, she unsurprisingly joined the training as well.
The Lloyd family''s momning drills were mandatory for all disciples, and the head ---- instructor was none other than the fierce Sheena Rowan''s martial arts foundation and skill level were better than Aspen and Chantelle''s, allowing her to improve quickly within the Lloyd family. "Northern Martial Union''s overall strength still outmatches the Southern Martial Union," Tiana said, and then turned to Andrew, " You escaping tonight was no small feat." Victoria chimed in and nodded, "Yes. Jahmir is definitely a true martial emperor, and both you and Ms.<fn911d> Updates are released by find?novel</fn911d>
Phn were injured Thank goodness you were smart enough to hide in the river, or the consequences would''ve been unthinkable." Andrew said nothing and instead felt the changes within his body carefully. The final seal still showed no sign of budging, like it had never moved at all, but he sensed a subtle difference. At least the Blood-Eyed ck Dragon on his chest had brightened slightly at the dragon''s head "Looks like I still need to find a way to break that final seal," he murmured with resignation. Victoria frowned.
"Have you considered a different approach to increase your power?" Andrew smiled, "Tell me." ---- Victoria''s mature beauty lit her face as she exined, "Right now, you can''t handle martial emperors and stronger foes. So boosting your strength is urgent, but thatst seal is as immovable as a mountain, and even the royal family can''t figure it out. If the usual channels won''t work, you''ll have to try another path." Andrew nodded. "I get what you mean." Tiana smirked, "Andrew, even if thatst seal won''t crack easily, someone like you has plenty of unconventional ways to grow stronger.
For example, your family totem is itself a mysterious source of power. Your Blood-Eyed ck Dragon tattoo has helped you more than once, so why not try lighting it all up? Then you wouldn''t lose to a martial emperor." Andrew grinned, "That''s exactly what I had in mind." Victoria said, "For now, there''s little Tiana and I can do to help you directly. Mostly it''s on you, but if you need anything, tell us." Tianaughed flirtatiously and winked, "Yes, don''t be shy! Ask us for favors anytime. Victoria still has charm to spare and plenty of free time for romance, so she''s all yours if you want."<style>
