Andrew chuckled, not hiding anything as he said, “I’m getting there. I can now handle most ordinary martial emperors. However, the seal on my energy core is still there, so I haven’t officially stepped into the martial emperor realm yet in terms of actual cultivation level.” Jerome exhaled deeply and said with admiration, “You’re truly a prodigy among prodigies. As the leader of the Southern Martial Union, I’ve seen countless talented individuals. But compared to you, Andy, they’re all just ordinary. A genius is nothing compared to you.

I made the right choice.” His choice, naturally, referred to following Andrew. Andrew nodded. “In that case, you should rest. Tomorrow morning, we’ll watch the negotiations between Corbin and Koda first. Then, I’l find an opportunity to make contact with Koda.” Jerome agreed. “Good, let’s do that. Andy, you should get some rest, too.” With that, he left Andrew’s room. Andrew lifted his hand, and the greatsword resting by the bed flew straight into his palm.

Feeling the cold steel of the hilt, he murmured, “Buddy, looks like we’re going to fight side by side —- again.” Godslayer sent a pulse of excitement back into his mind Andrew chuckled, closed the window, and prepared to rest. Yet a sudden pure-white silhouette appeared in his line of sight. Down below, under the moonlight, the Institute’s lakeside garden looked breathtakingly beautiful. The night was completely still. A man and a woman stepped onto the little bridge for a late-night date. Even though they were far away, Andrew instantly recognized ‘the woman by her outline and posture.

It was Mikayla, the heiress of the Owens family and Lorenzo’s daughter. Andrew had not expected Mikayla to be at the Advanced Medical Institute as well. Moreover, from the looks of it, that man and woman were getting close, with the man seemingly pulling the woman into his embrace. Andrew smiled coldly, grabbed Godslayer, and leaped down from the window. Then, he moved quickly, soon arriving at a comer of the garden The couple was now nestled together at the head of a small bridge in the garden. From Andrew’s angle, he could see their faces clearly and hear every word they said.

—- “Lennox, won’t sneaking out this late cause you trouble?” “Don’t worry, there won’t be any issues. As the most outstanding disciple of the Advanced Medical Institute’s third generation, I can slip out at night without anyone noticing unless some old geezer is specifically watching me.” “That’s a relief then. The Advanced Medical Institute is so dangerous right now… It’s so hard to get some alone time with you, Lennox.” “Mikayla… are you saying you missed me? You… really missed me?” Lennox Easton grew excited, stammering as he looked at the woman.

Mikayla lifted her head, her eyes shimmering as she gazed at him adoringly. “Idiot! I’m willing to sneak out at night, ignoring what others might think and risking my reputation. If that’s not missing you, what is? If you can’t even see that, Lennox, you’re really dense.” Lennox immediately pulled Mikayla tighter into his embrace, trembling as he spoke. “Mikayla, I swear, in this lifetime, I’ll marry no one but you. For the rest of my life, Ill only be good to you. Besides you, nothing else matters, not even the whole world. Hearing this, Andrew, hiding behind the bushes, nearly gagged.

—- The guy was unbelievably mushy. Even worse, Andrew suspected he was just another hopeless simp Andrew knew exactly what kind of person Mikayla was. She was the ultimate manipulator, a total player. And judging from how Easton poured his whole heart out, he had clearly fallen for her hard.
