Andrew thrust once, then twice, then a third time into Nyx beneath him. The fair-skinned beauty lay with her eyes half-closed, soft moans escaping her lips. After a long while, the storm finally passed. Nyx felt as if her entire body were falling apart. Her thighs, especially, were weak and sore, but her delicate face wore a blissful, satisfied smile.She wrapped her arms around Andrew's arm and murmured sweetly, "Honey, you're so amazing."Outside, the night was deep, while inside, warmth and passion lingered.Andrew's muscular upper body was fully exposed, his physique well-defined with lean, attractive lines rather than the bulky build of a pure bodybuilder.Before long, Nyx drifted into a deep sleep, and Andrew quietly got out of bed and stepped onto the balcony.On the nearby rooftop, someone had been sitting there for some time. When she saw Andrew step out with only a blanket wrapped around him, those golden eyes instantly turned cold with killing intent. Andrew's exp

When Andrew's gaze shifted toward her, Iridessa's entire body suddenly tensed. As a master-level covert artist, disguising her expressions, appearance, and even her breathing rhythm were all basic skills.Iridessa could transform her entire appearance into that of another person at any moment. In other words, her disguise was perfect.Yet even so, Iridessa was shocked to the core when Andrew seemed to detect her. Just moments ago, she had merely lifted her head slightly to take one extra look at him, and unexpectedly, that had made him aware of her presence, causing him to focus his attention on her.'His martial prowess has reached an unfathomable level!' Iridessa thought gravely.Andrew stood up and said to Vance, "Alright then, I'll take my leave. Anyway, I've delivered my message. In the near future, I'll mobilize my forces and attack Throne City. This huge prize is right there in front of us, and I imagine plenty of people want a piece of it."You, me, the Cathedral, the vamp

Vance smiled. "You're sharp, knowing exactly what I'm thinking. I suspect that bastard Andrew is deliberately setting up a smokescreen for me. He says he can't wait and wants to attack Throne City, but anyone with half a brain can see that would obviously draw attacks from all sides, maybe even massive assaults, completely counterproductive."So our natural assumption would be that Andrew just came here to spout nonsense and blow smoke, and that he has no real intention of striking first. Based on this seemingly rational psychology, none of us would take his threat to attack seriously. But that's precisely when this bastard exploits that psychological gap and suddenly deploys his army to launch a fierce assault on Throne City; a surprise within a surprise!"He continued, "By then, we'd realize it too late, and trying to stop him would put us a step behind. By the time we actually get there, Throne City would already be in his hands."Iridessa's delicate face filled with shock and fe

Andrew smiled. "You're not stupid. You're smart as hell. Come to my room tonight and take care of me."Nyx's gorgeous face flushed red as she glared at him. Then, she turned and walked away in a huff. Juno chuckled and said, "I have some news too. Kaelan's encampment has been reinforced with more werewolf warriors. This time, the numbers are even larger than before." Andrew nodded. "The werewolf Sacred Mountain must have issued a total war order. Edmund's werewolf legion and the armies of other werewolf dukes have probably all mobilized."Juno continued, "There is also movement on the blood clan side. Besides Gaston's vampire soldiers, a large number of vampires have arrived. They are all reinforcements sent by the Blood Sacred Hall, and their numbers are still increasing."Franz slammed the table and let out a breath. "Looks like the decisive battle for the Wastelands is about to begin."Othniel and Tobiah had now taken up residence in the City Lord's Mansion and become part o

Petyr let out a sigh and said, "I really never expected him to become this powerful."Petyr and his people had been settled inside Abyss City. Fineas had been another chief of the City of Hope back in the day. They had both been fleeing for their lives, but Fineas had chosen to follow Petyr to Abyss City and take a gamble.Unexpectedly, that gamble had saved their lives.Hearing Petyr sigh, Fineas said, "Petyr, are you sure the Holtrien man you crossed paths with back then is the same Mr. Lloyd who rules Abyss City now?"He smiled faintly and continued, "I think you might be mistaken. Mr. Lloyd is a dominant power in the Wastelands now, and his reputation is massive. On the way here, we heard his name everywhere. But you are saying that half a year ago, he was just a Holtrien drifter who wandered into the City of Hope. I feel like there is an enormous gap between those two versions of him. I cannot connect them at all."Petyr's expression was dazed. "Yeah, I also found it hard t
