---- Chapter 3261 At the Lloyd family estate, Andrew''s injuries had finally stabilized. After repeatedly taking the ninth-grade supreme elixir, his recovery became astonishingly fast, leaving everyone else in awe. Sheena and the others had been waiting for Andrew''s condition to improve. Now, they all spoke up one after another. Sheena reported, "Andy, we''ve taken down Trevor from the Thunder Sect. Chetvine is basically under our control now. All the other major factions, especially the noble houses, are either ''on our side or too scared to move. Guillermo ispletely isted.


    The next step is to hunt him down." Andrew''s face was still slightly pale, but he replied calmly, "No tush. A cornered animal is dangerous. If we push him too far, I''m worried he will do something reckless." One of the Lloyd family department heads nodded gravely. " Exactly. Guillermo''s been operating in Chetvine for so many years. If he goes off the rails, the consequences would be catastrophic." Nyx remarked coldly, "If he wants to y dirty, we''ll match him move for move. Honey, you, me, and Sheena can take him down without breaking a sweat." ---- However, Andrew shook his head. "No need.


    In the end, I''ll take his head myself." Just then, a Lloyd family member rushed in with a visitor. Nyx and the others looked over and eximed in delight, "Mr. Hearst, what brings you here?" Indeed, it was Franz. He walked straight to Andrew and asked, "Andy, how are you feeling?" Andrew smiled. "I''m fine, Mr. Hearst. But since you came at a time like this, I assume something serious happened." Franz said gravely, "The Hearsnds, the Hearst family''s stronghold, has mobilized.


    Though Patriarch Pablo made it clear beforehand thating to Chetvine was at his own risk and the family wasn''t supposed to seek revenge afterward, none expected Pablo to actually die." He added, "So the Hearst family has officially dered war on the Lloyd royal family. They''re demanding we hand you over; your life for the life of Patriarch Pablo. Otherwise, they''ll march straight into Chetvine." Andrew said tly, "I''m not surprised. If the Hearst family wants toe, let them." ---- Franz hesitated, then let out a sigh. Andrew pressed, "Mr. Hearst, what else is there?


    Just tell me straight." Franz said, "Andy, the Dark ns have made their move. Right now, they''ve already crossed the Wastnds and are heading straight for the Azure Gate on Holtrien''s eastern border. Moreover, all three Western empires have sent troops as well. It looks like they''re going all-in against Holtrien; a fight to the death." Andrew said coldly, "The three Western empires and the Dark ns have always been mortal enemies.


    It''s strange that they''re actually cooperating with the Dark ns now." Nyx suddenly said, "Honey, the Vampire Queen''s abilities are far beyond what you or I imagined. The key leaders of all three empires may be under her control. With her power alone, she could easily spark a war between two continents. That wouldn''t be a problem for her at all." Andrew felt a chill run through him. "If that''s the case, it really is possible.


    With the Vampire Queen''s abilities, controlling the political leaders of three empires doesn''t seem like much of a challenge." Franz continued, "Andy, I came here for two reasons. First, to ---- inform you. Second, I''m heading out immediately with the military to Azure Gate. I won''t be able to look after things here for a while." Andrew waved him off. "Mr. Hearst, don''t worry about me. I''ll be fine here." Franz sighed. "Andy, our nation is in a crisis. Without you joining the fight, Holtrien will face tremendous danger.


    So please, settle your internal matters quickly and get there as soon as you can." Andrew fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "If it reallyes to that, I''ll be there."
