As they head back, Milo asked irritably, "Mr. Lloyd, why didn't you ever mention that your family brought a top-tier expert?" He clearly felt Andrew had deceived him and disrespected him. Andrew smiled and replied, "Mr. Avila, calm down. It's just that our elder doesn't like me casually revealing his whereabouts. How about this, Mr. Avila, I'll tell you exactly where he is and you can go talk it out with him yourself?" Milo's mouth went dry as he said, "It's fine, forget it. I wouldn't dare confront someone who can kill a martial emperor. Mr. Lloyd, you're just messing with me now." Andrew sneered inwardly, already thinking that Milo was a burden he could finally drop. After all, they had successfully connected with Koda. Suddenly, Milo straightened his back and said righteously, "Mr. Lloyd, I knew from the start you're no ordinary man. Anyone from a major family is different. No offense, but even though your martial strength is a bit lacking, and judging from your condition,

The small mountain valley was surrounded by towering peaks, and Mikayla stood on a boulder high above, her dress fluttering as she watched Lennox and Quinn tangled together down below. She looked amused, almost entertained by the scene. Footsteps sounded behind her, yet Mikayla did not turn around as she giggled and said, "Dad, you're here." Lorenzo walked up beside her, calmly glanced down at the valley, and gave a low grunt. Mikayla snorted and asked, "Disgusting people, aren't they?" Lorenzo withdrew his gaze, his eyes cold as he said, "They're just lowly creatures enjoying a moment of pleasure, nothing more. Mikayla, we're reaching the most critical part of our plan, and you need to push harder on your side as well." Mikayla giggled and replied, "Don't worry, Dad. Handling Lennox is way easier than dealing with that damn Andrew. I only had to give a vague hint, and Lennox nearly lost his mind." Lorenzo replied mildly, "Speaking of Andrew, Mr. Vazquez sent word that the

Quinn finally snapped out of it and realized that both Corbin and Lennox had played her for a fool. Her face instantly flushed with rage as she demanded, "Lennox, do you really not care about my genuine feelings for you?" She snapped, "You treated me like an idiot, but what about all those things you said when you were sleeping with me? What did those mean?" Lennox leaned in close, his mouth right by Quinn's ear. He let out a series of sleazy laughs and said, "Well, it was only natural that I'd say the right things when I was sleeping with you. Otherwise, Quinn, did you really think someone like me would actually be into a trashy slut like you? Those sweet nothings were just so I could get you into bed. It's that simple." Quinn's mind buzzed, and everything went dark before her eyes. What followed was an endless wave of hatred and fury. She cursed, "Lennox, you're nothing but an animal! Don't think that just because you're holding me hostage, my dad will give in to you. I'll ha

At that moment, Mikayla had already followed Lorenzo's instructions and was on her way to find Jerome. She paused midway, organized her thoughts, and smoothed out her hair and dress. After all, a perfect woman should never let her guard down. Just then, she heard stumbling footsteps behind her, along with the sound of someone crying in deep grief. She quickly slipped behind a large tree and hid in the shadows. From there, she saw Quinn running while covering her mouth, rushing back toward Milo's residence. The Advanced Medical Institute was huge, and every elder had their own separate area. Mikayla frowned, mumbling, "What's going on? Why's Quinn still alive?" She slowly tightened her grip around the weapon in her palm and stepped out, fully intending to end Quinn right there. To her, this little wretch had no purpose anymore, especially with her father dead. It would be better to send her off early and reunite her with Milo. With a sharp swish, Mikayla threw the concealed

"Mikayla, are you alright?" Lorenzo asked, breathing a sigh of relief. Mikayla shook her head. "I'm fine, Dad, but Andrew has actually come to the Advanced Medical Institute too." Lorenzo snorted. "That bastard… What the hell is he trying to do? Turns out I underestimated him, but no matter what he's trying to do, if he dares to ruin my family's plans, he won't get away with it." Corbin could not help but ask, "Mr. Owens Senior, Ms. Owens… Who was that person just now? If he's some nobody, we don't need to worry about him." Lorenzo shook his head, his tone complicated. "He's no nobody. Have you heard of the Lloyd royal family's Dragon Prince from Chetvine, Grand Elder?" Corbin's breath caught as he asked in shock, "The Lloyd royal family… one of the Twin Dragons? You mean the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, the one who fought his way out of Chetvine a decade ago?" Lorenzo nodded. "That's right, it's him. My family doesn't get along with him at all. We need to be careful and p
