    ---- Chapter 2947 Andrew locked himself in his room for an entire night. He only emerged the next afternoon. The Dragonfang headquarters felt heavy with grief. Every member looked silent and dejected. Even Knox, usually the most energetic, sat dejectedly in aer, staring nkly into space. Andrew pushed the door open. The others nced at him, then quickly looked away. No one spoke. Andrew frowned, noticing Nyx''s absence. He climbed to the second floor, where Reginald''s personal space was located. Reginald was already packed and ready.


    Seeing Andrew, he smiled and said, "Andrew, it''s time for us to say goodbye. Take care of Dragonfang for me." Surprised, Andrew asked, "Dad, what do you mean?" Reginald gestured for Andrew to sit. "Dragonfang was a foundation I built for you. If you can''t lead the organization, I''ll disband the team. But it seems everyone is satisfied with you. I''m proud that my son has proven himself." Andrew cut to the chase. "I don''t want Dragonfang. I want to know what youre nning to do." ---- Reginald lowered his voice. "Here in the Ounds, a full-scale trap has already been set.


    Vampires, werewolves, Lomuia Grand Cathedral, the Ludendorff family, the three Western nations, and most importantly, Wyrmhelm, including myself, are all moving toward one goal: the Veiled Paradise." He continued, "Right now, war has already broken out across the Ounds. The Church was the first to sh with the Ludendorff family, and that oue was inevitable. The Ounds is one of only two ces in the world where the Church of Light never spread its influence. "The first, of course, is Holtrien, where the Church knows it will never gain a foothold.


    Naturally, the Ounds became the Church''s final frontier. Whether there were old grudges or not, a war with the Ludendorff family was inevitable." He exined, "The fact that God''s Left Hand, Mephiston Vfar, is personally intervening speaks volumes. The Lomuia Grand Cathedral has two grand objectives: unifying this chaotd and essing the Veiled Paradise." Andrew asked, "But why are you getting involved? We could just stand back and let them fight." Reginald responded, "I have no interest in the war.


    But I need these forces to help me open the entrance to the Veiled Paradise." ---- Shocked, Andrew asked, "Open it? So you already know where the entrance is?" Reginald smiled. "Of course. I''ve been in Storm City these past days precisely for this purpose. The barrier guarding the entrance is extremely powerful. No single faction can open it on its own. This time, whether enemies or allies, everyone will cooperate temporarily to break the seal together." Andrew immediately said, "Then there is nothing left to hesitate about.


    I''m going with you into the Veiled Paradise." Reginald rejected him on the spot. "No. Andrew, the Veiled Faction inside the Veiled Paradise had isted itself from the world precisely to remain forever disconnected from the outside. This time, by forcibly breaking the seal, we will inevitably trigger a war between our worlds. "Ithas already been proven that they''re an ancient civilization left behind from antiquity. In terms of martial power, they surpass us by an unknown margin. Hence, you can''t go... Once you do, I can''t guarantee your safety either.


    Also, there''s another reason: you carry their blood in your body." He said, "Eleanor once warned me that you must never appear before anyone from the Veiled Faction. If you do, you''ll certainly die." ---- Andrew coldly responded, ''I''m not afraid of them." Reginald replied, "I know you''re not afraid. But at the very least, you should not be involved in this first war. I have already nned your way out. Take Nyx and the others, then leave the Ounds and return to Holtrien.


    They will be a living force that helps youmand both the martial world and political spheres in Holtrien one day. "With Nyx and the others by your side, Guillermo will not be able to touch you. And once your strength breaks through to martial god level, you can avenge yourself." Andrew looked pained. "Dad, after all this, you still don''t understand me. I don''t want anything to happen to you. Right now, neither of us should be afraid of anyone. I know why you want to enter the Veiled Paradise... It''s because of Mom."
