---- Chapter 2720 Lorenzo was pushed to his absolute limit and roared in fury, " Fine! I''ll give you the real Sacred Heart Method. Just don''t do anything crazy." This time, he was surprisingly straightforward, tossing Andrew a palm-sized crystal Andrew did not even look at it and had Eric put it away, saying, " It''s the real deal. The Owens family''s Sacred Heart Method is recorded on a crystal. You have to use warm water to make the text and patterns appear." This statement left Lorenzo utterly shocked. "You bastard. H- How do you know the Owens family''s secret?" Andrew scoffed.


    "I can actually tell you that. Back when I was still in the organization, I had the opportunity to wipe out your family and take everything the Owens had for myself. But I didn''t do it at the time because back then, our families still maintained a rtionship. "At that time, I never imagined that you and Mika would be such despicable people. The higher-ups didn''t see it that way, though. Several times, people wanted to take you down, Lorenzo.


    What your family thinks of as secrets was, in my eyes back then, no different from a naked prostitute on the street ---- corner." Lorenzo''s jaw clenched. "Fine, so what if you''re right? Now, let Mika go." Andrew sneered. "Sorry, not yet." Lorenzo roared, "Andrew, you dare go back on your word?" Before Andrew could respond, amotion arose as arge number of military vehicles and heavy-duty SUVs arrived at the base of the Advanced Medical Institute''s mountain.


    The first to appear were Luna and Valerie Getting out of the vehicles behind them were twobat chiefs from Chetvine''s Lloyd royal family. Also present was Sheena, another top genius of the Lloyd family. Although her injuries had notpletely healed, she headed straight for Jose as soon as she got out of the car. "Mr. Castillo, I''m here to see what you''ve got. Let''s see if you''re as good as they say. I''m ready when you are." Jose''s expression was extremely ugly. "Sheena, don''t get too cocky with me." Sheena grinned,pletely unconcerned. "So what if I''m cocky?


    You couldn''t beat Alfredo, right? I survived a disaster at his ---- hands. Today, I really don''t fear you." Jose said nothing, his fists unconsciously clenching. If it were just Sheena, he would not have paid her any attention at all. However, add the two Lloyd familybat chiefs, especially one of them carrying what looked like a hand cannon. Jose immediately became wary. That thing only needed one shot to seriously injure him.


    It was a specialbat weapon used by the Lloyd family''s inner leadership, specifically designed to hunt high-level martial saints up to just below martial god level. Against martial gods and above, it was not very effective. Jose was not yet a true martial god. Even with his backup abilities, handling two Lloyd ministers plus Sheena was overwhelming. Moreover, the two military generals nearby only added more pressure. At that moment, Andrew chuckled and pushed Mika forward, sending her sprawling face-first. Thetter awkwardly scrambled up from the ground and ran straight to Lorenzo.


    Lorenzo grabbed his daughter and immediately unsealed the meridian locks on Mika''s body. With her strength restored, Mika said venomously, "Dad, kill them! Kill Andrew, quickly, do it now." ---- Lorenzo''s mouth twitched as he shook his head. "No, we''ll return to Chetvine first, then make ns." Mika refused, screaming, "No! What about the humiliation and what he did to me? I want him dead right now!" Lorenzo opened his mouth to argue, but Jose had already spoken. "Everyone, get in the car. We''re leaving first. And take your idiot daughter with you.


    I''m already embarrassed enough because of her. If she wants to die, I won''t be dying with her." Mika''s face went pale as she mped her mouth shut. In front of someone like Jose, she was nothing but a foolish girl who did not know her ce. Lorenzo sighed, "Let''s go. Stop being reckless." He dragged Mika toward the vehicles. Before getting in, she yelled from a distance, "Andrew, just you wait!" Andrew rolled his eyes. "Trash." With that, the confrontation ended, marked by one side withdrawing first. ---- Luna approached Andrew, her soft gaze filled with relief.


    "Are you okay?" Andrew smiled. "I''m fine. But why are you all here? I only asked Sheena to send people to pick me up, so I didn''t expect all of you to show up." Valerie huffed. "We came to make sure you weren''t dead." Andrew nodded. "Thanks." Arms crossed, Valerie snorted proudly. "Whatever. Let''s go. You''re fine, that''s what matters." Andrew said, "Sheena, Ms. Reyes, and both the Lloyd family''s generals, you go on ahead. This ce is secluded, the scenery is amazing, and it''s not every day I get to visit the Advanced Medical Institute." Sheena groaned, "Ugh, what now?


    What nonsense are you nning?" Andrew grabbed Luna''s hand and grinned. "Rx. I''m just taking her to enjoy the view. And maybe find a quiet spot to steal a kiss Luna''s face flushed bright red, and she snapped, "Are you crazy?" Andrew barked back, "Don''t yell. Just answer me. Do you like the ---- idea or not? Come on. I''ll pick you a little red flower and tuck it behind your ear. It look adorable on you." Luna felt both flustered and tempted. She could never resist Andrew''s shameless charm. She had always been a reserved, gentle woman, yet Andrew''s boldness always made her heart flutter.


    Sheena rubbed her temples. "Fine, go pick flowers and whisper sweet nothings. You''re the boss around here anyway." Jerome and Eric walked off with the two Lloyd ministers to chat, giving them space. Valerie, however, looked furious, her jaw clenched tight. The moment she saw Luna actually following Andrew, she stormed after them with big, angry strides. Andrew turned around, puzzled. "Valerie, what are you doing?" Valerie red coldly. "I want flowers too, and I want to enjoy the scenery." Andrew hesitated. "Uh... maybe find someone else for that." Valerie scoffed. "No.


    I''m following you two. Don''t even think about getting cozy. If you push me, I''ll drag both of you off a cliff, and we''ll die together in this damn mountain forest." 2<style>
