    ---- Chapter 2975 Garal shook his head. "Prescott, with your status, you can have any woman you want. Why ruin your dignity over something so trivial?" Prescott sneered. "Uncle, you''re wrong. This isn''t trivial at all. A woman I set my eyes on is someone I''l find a way to im Besides, do you really think a woman like Nyx ismon? Across the Ounds, beautiful women are everywhere, but beautiful martial gods who are also assassins are rare. If I can win Nyx over and make her serve the family, Father will surely think of me differently." Garalughed.


    "If you truly managed to pull Nyx into the Ludendorff family. Raiden would probably name you the top sessor on the spot." Prescott burst intoughter, his face full of ambition and anticipation. "It''s happening very soon... It''s practically a done deal. Uncle, arrange a banquet. Later, I want to host Nyx properly. Garal nodded and smiled. "I''ll also take the opportunity to probe Dragonfang''s people a bit more." ---- From within Abyss City, looking outward, thend stretched into endless open wilderness. Franz said joyfully, "Andrew, your decision was right.


    If we can truly take this city and gain even a little breathing room, then we could be a major power in the Wastnds. At least, as long as the Cathedral doesn''tunch a full-scale assault, we can remain undefeated." Knox said admiringly, "Unbelievable. I never thought I''d own a city someday. Damn... Even though Dragonfang is well-known and everyone talked about us, we could only hide and scrape by.


    But this is a major city, a symbol of power and status in Ounds." Heughed and suddenly asked, "Petra, did you ever think that we could be city lords and big bosses?" Petra simply smiled, He was not good with words, but the happiness and excitement on his face were obvious to anyone. Juno looked at Andrew and asked, "Andrew, are you alright?" Andrew bandaged his wound, grinning. "Of course not! That stab Nyx gave me nearly killed me!" Nyx was cleaning the dried blood off him and snorted coldly. " You''re full of it. I obviously held back.


    Besides, you were the one who said to make it realistic and to use more force." ---- Knox chuckled. "You two lovebirds, stop bickering. But seriously, Andrew, you''ve got balls of steel. If we hadn''t gained Garal and Prescott''s trust back there, the Cathedral''s squads would have beaten us!" Franz shook his head. "That''s not even the worst of it.


    Knowing Prescott''s crazy reputation in the Ludendorff family, he might have even joined forces with the Cathedral to sandwich us and cause heavy casualties." Juno said coldly, "I didn''t expect the Ludendorff family to send another martial god, and of all people, that damned Prescott." Andrew said calmly, "ording to what you''ve told me, Prescott is Raiden''s son. That makes him the legitimate heir of the Ludendorff family.


    Just now, he seemed carefree on the surface, but after restraining me, he checked and tested my injuries and strength." Andrew let out a coldugh, mockery curling at the corner of his lips, "Too bad for him, since I dared to set my sights on Abyss City, I thought everything through. I gave him the results he wanted to see. So now, we just watch how things develop. As soon as the opportunityes, we strike immediately!" Nyx said hesitantly, "Even though we''ve gained Abyss City''s trust and sessfully got inside, Garal will definitely still be on guard against us.


    With the formidable Prescott added to the mix, our ---- chances don''t look great." Andrew smirked. "Whether our chances are good or not depends on how strong the Cathedral''s main army is. As long as Abyss City reaches the point where it could fall at any moment, no matter how cautious Garal is, he can''t guard against everything. Defending the city would be his only priority.


    When that happens, I will personally put an end to the Ludendorff family''s title as kings of the Ounds." Juno suddenly chimed in, "You''re not only insanely bold, but terrifyingly calcting." Then, she quickly added, ''I meant that as praise, not an insult." Everyoneughed. Nyx silently watched Andrew grinning and grimacing, feeling an indescribable peace in her heart. She thought he was bing more formidable by the day. A brilliant smile quietly bloomed at theer of her lips.
