    ---- Chapter 2934 Nyx licked her lips lightly. Andrewughed and said, "So Nyx, you''re quite the food lover, huh?" Nyx nodded, looking unexpectedly cute as she replied, "Yeah. I was quite a glutton when I was little. You should have seen my childhood photos; I was really chubby. My mother always said there were no kids that chubby in our family, so she wanted me to lose weight, behave properly, and learn etiquette." She continued, "But I never listened. I just liked eating, andter my mother gave up on it.


    My father treated me the best and never scolded me." Andrew smiled and said, "Then your parents must have really loved you." Nyx mumbled softly, "Yeah, they loved me very much. It''s just a shame that I will never see them again." Andrew suddenly felt a bit of regret for bringing up such a topic. However, Nyx seemed unaffected. Years of hardship had long since transformed her from a delicate girl into a hardened survivor. "Andrew," she said suddenly, "If we get the chance, let''s visit ---- Holtrien together." Andrew enthusiastically agreed, "Absolutely! Don''t worry.


    Once you''re there, you''ll fall in love with Holtrien." Nyx studied him silently, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Andrew slightly ufortable. When he awkwardly asked, "What is it?" Nyx teased, "Nothing. I just realized you''re not entirely annoying or stupid." Andrew''s face darkened. "Hey, I''m not stupid! You''re just biased against me." Nyx shook her head and said thoughtfully, "The Ounds do not allow warmth or mercy. Those who overflow with sympathy and try to y the good guy are all dead.


    Andrew, I have to warn you not to meddle too much in other people''s affairs and always protect yourself first. As long as you are fine, Mr. Lloyd Senior will not worry. Do you understand?" Andrew replied, "Got it." Deep down, he understood Nyx''s past behavior. A girl who had endured abuse and death would inevitably lose her trust in the world after growing up. Andrew suddenly blurted out, "Nyx, I''ll take you back to Holtrien ---- someday. I have many female friends there, who are smart and beautiful, just like you.


    You''ll gradually rediscover life''s warmth and find new goals." Nyx''s face immediately turned cold and demanded, "What did you say?" Andrew froze and said, "I said you would find warmth in life." Nyx shook her head and said, "Before that, what did you say about having many what kind of friends?" Andrew stammered, "F-Female friends. What''s wrong with that?" Nyx replied tly, "Nothing. Mr. Lloyd Senior mentioned that his son was a charming man and popr with girls. Now it seems you''re quite the heartbreaker. Since you have so many admirers, you shouldn''t be trying to involve other girls.


    Otherwise, you''re just a yer. Remember that!" Andrew was leftpletely bewildered, thinking to himself how women were the same whether back home or abroad: always unpredictable. Angotur Harbor was not far from the Dragonfang base. Andrew floored the elerator, racing across the wilderness. After half a day, they entered a rainforest near the coastline. Nyx jumped out of the vehicle, announcing, "We can''t drive further, or the ground will swallow the car. Plus, there''s a ---- minefield ahead set by Holtrien soldiers. We''ll need to proceed on foot." Andrew did not object.


    He shouldered the massive Godyer and, together with Nyx, immediately sprinted into the rainforest.
