---- Chapter 2534 Victoria blushed, and she shot Tiana a re. "Tiana, if you''ve got nothing useful to say, then shut your mouth. No one here thinks you''re a mute, alright?" Andrew rubbed his nose awkwardly and could only give a dryugh. He did not dare interrupt when the two bickered. After all, it was not his ce as the younger one, especially when both women were far from being ''proper elders'' "Andrew, I''m heading east tomorrow," Sheena said, walking up and patting his shoulder. Andrew brushed off her hand since her strength was no joke, and it actually hurt.
He analyzed, "Sheena, you''re a second-tier martial emperor, and Swordhaven Keep''s master, Alfredo, ranks third on the Titan List. He''s already at the final stage of the martial emperor level. In other words, he''s just one step away from bing a martial god, the kind that never loses. I''ll say this onest time: maybe you should reconsider." He added, "Sure, we''re not afraid of death, but there''s no need to deliberately provoke someone this dangerous." Sheena scoffed. "I already told you that this fight is happening ---- no matter what.
If I don''t fight, I won''t be able to break through to the third tier of martial emperor anytime soon. Alfredo knows I''m using him to sharpen my skills, so he''s definitely not going to be happy about it. Which means when we fight, he''ll probably try to kill me. But there''s nothing I can do about it. That''s the risk I''m taking, and I''ve epted it." Andrew waved his hand dismissively. "This isn''t going to work. Tomorrow, I''m going with you to the Eastern Stronghold." Sheena looked surprised. "What are you going there for? Don''t tell me you think you can change how this goes?<fnc045> Chapters first released on find?novel</fnc045>
Andrew, as long as the final seal in your energy core remains intact, you''re not qualified to challenge me. Unless you remove thatstyer of seal, there''s no way you can pin me down." Andrew gave a wry smile. "When did you start making such dirty jokes?" Sheena grinned proudly. "Just thesest couple of days, especially after hanging around Madam Sanchez and Mrs. Rhodes... Those twodies are amazing. You can learn all kinds of fun things from them. And guess what? Both of them used to be Uncle Reginald''s old mes! Andrew, you and your dad really are treasures to the Lloyd family.
Every woman you bring home is a knockout. I swear, I love it." Andrew shook his head. "They''re our elders, Sheena. That''s not appropriate." ---- Sheena did not care at all. "They don''t mind. They were smiling and joking the whole time, so why are you acting so uptight? Anyway, that''s that. You stay here in Chetvine and take care of your business. I''ll handle Swordhaven Keep and let you know what happens." Andrew watched her ponytail sway as she walked away, a flicker of worry tightening his chest. Alfredo was no ordinary man; even Reginald himself had never truly defeated him.
If Sheena went to challenge him now, her chances were not great. However, from her tone, it was clear she did not want Andrew toe along. Did she have her own n? Or was she worried he would get caught in the crossfire? Andrew''s expression darkened. Either way, tomorrow he was going to Swordhaven Keep with her. Meanwhile, the Medicine God''s Covenant was severely understaffed. Only two alchemists were avable, and Amari was under extreme pressure, working overtime with a few junior alchemists just to keep up.
Andrew had recently secured massive contracts from Iron Sword Sect and the Robertson family, and if they could not ---- deliver the elixirs on time, things would blow up fast. There was also the Webster family, whom Andrew had instructed Amari to negotiate with yesterday. But unexpectedly, Amari failed. The Webster family showed strong resistance toward the Medicine God''s Covenant. "What exactly happened?" Andrew asked.<style>
