Chapter 923
Creak…
Before long, the door swung open.
The butler who opened the door froze when he saw Andrius.
“An… Wolf… Sir…” His lips trembled uncontrobly, changing the way of address thrice before finally
settling on thest one, which he felt was the most appropriate.
Andrius smiled faintly.
“He’s back! Master, Mr. Moonshade is back-”
The butler was suddenly filled with excitement and rushed back into the manor, shouting as he went.
At his words, the entire Crestfall Manor became lively, sizzling like water being poured into a hot pan.
“Andrius! Andrius, you’re back! It’s good that you’ve returned—”
The person running at the front was Brus. He appeared even older than before, but his steps were
brisk. When he saw Andrius, he wished he had longer legs. His aged face was beaming with an
enthusiasm that could melt the frost of winter.
Harry, Luna, and the other members of the Crestfalls also rushed over.
Luna was concerned that Brus would fall and assisted him while running with him.
“Grandpa Brus.”
Seeing this, Andrius also quickly went over. Kate naturally followed behind him.
Luna did not notice Kate at first, but after she did, she paused in shock, and her eyes instantly flickered
with a strange glint.
This woman…
She was the Maiden of the Medicine Sect, Kate Klein, the person that Old Hagstorm told her to
impersonate.
However, Luna was not the Luna of the past. She thought of her identity and immediately pretended to
be calm as if she did not know anything.
Unbeknownst to her, Kate had always been clever and quick–witted. She was very observant and
keenly caught the subtle change in Luna’s expression earlier. Although she did not know why Luna
looked surprised, she still found it strange.
Of course, Kate did not reveal it.
The two women had their own thoughts.
“Husband, you’re back.”
Luna did not know what was Kate’s rtionship with Andrius, but she knew that Andrius had spent time
in the Medicine Sect recently. She was certain that there must have been some interaction between
him and Kate. Thus, her casual use of the term ‘husband‘ was a form of
asserting her status.
Andrius frowned slightly, but in front of the entire Crestfalls and especially in front of Brus, he could
not refuse and simply nodded with a soft hum.
Then, he handed the medicine he was carrying to Brus. “Grandpa Brus, this is a tonic I prepared
especially for you. Your health will greatly improve after taking it.
“Oh, you…”
Brus was touched by Andrius‘ concern for his health. He patted Andrius‘ shoulder heavily. His eyes
were warm as he gestured for Harry to take the medicine.
“How have you been these days?” Brus asked with concern, “From the war with the Western
Nations, the fake emperor’s trial, then to the campaign of capturing the fake emperor, it’s been one
thing after another. Although your contributions have been extraordinary, it must have been very tough
on you.”
Fortunately, he was unaware of the affairs involving the four great martial families. Otherwise, he would
have been even more worried.
Andrius smiled and said, “I’m fine, Grandpa Brus. In truth, it was the soldiers who did most of the
work. I was just overseeing the overall situation at most. The credit should go to the soldiers who lost
their lives on the battlefield.”
Those were Andrius‘ heartfelt words.
Brus stroked his beard and cast a nce at Luna, then said, “Speaking of the soldiers… During this
time, Luna has done a lot for the Valiant Institute.
“Not only has she activelymunicated with the municipal government to expedite thepensation
for the martyr’s families, but she also personally visited the Valiant Institute multiple times to provide
medical treatment to the injured soldiers.
“In addition, she used her influence to organize several charity drives and donated all the proceeds to
the Martyr’s Society.
“Recently, she’s been nning to coborate with the top medical experts in Sumeria to provide free
clinics for the injured soldiers and the families of martyrs within Sumeria.”

Then, he summed up with emotion, “Luna has put in a lot of effort for all these!”
As he spoke, he did not forget to look at Andrius and observe his reaction.
Brus had always held Andrius in high regard and did not forget his attempts to bring him and Luna
together. Now, by mentioning these things, he hoped that Andrius would be moved by Luna’s efforts
and reconsider his stance.
Andrius was genuinely touched by what he heard and said solemnly, “Luna, I want to express my
sincere gratitude to you on behalf of the countless soldiers of Florence!”
The faces of the Crestfalls darkened slightly.
Andrius was still distant. If he considered them part of his family, why would he need to thank them?
Brus and Luna also looked disappointed.
