Night covered everything, dark and heavy like ink. Yet, if someone looked down from miles above, Chetvine still shone the brightest with its city lights. Andrew walked the streets with Luna, slightly buzzed from the drinks. Aspen and the other two women had already gone back to the Lloyd family estate. They had purposely left this time for Luna and Andrew to be alone. Since Luna had just joined their circle, the three had been considerate enough to give her space. “What’s on your mind, Luna?” Andrew asked with a playful smile.

Luna walked quietly beside him and shook her head. “Nothing. You’re going to Mount Lourneau for the final seal in your energy core, aren’t you?” Andrew nodded. “That’s right. I have two solid leads and opportunities. The first is to seek out the Eastern Wanderer, a master from the Umbral Peak Sect. The Reyes family is backed by this hidden sect, but the chances of success aren’t very high.” Luna nodded. “I know about the Umbral Peak Sect. That sect operates very secretively. Sometimes, you could even say they’re a dark cult.

I’m really worried about you finding them.” —- Andrew said, “That’s why Patriarch Donovan pointed me toward a second path: go to Mount Lourneau and find Mr. Luther Johnston, the number one master on the Titan List.” Luna stopped in her tracks and looked at Andrew. “Mr. Johnston is a true legend of our time. Mr. Turman and Mr. Johnston are close friends. Andrew, let me ask Mr. Turman to reach out to Mr. Johnston on your behalf.” Andrew shook his head. “No need, Luna. I have a personal letter from Patriarch Donovan.

Besides, I don’t want to owe Philip any favors!” Luna murmured an acknowledgment, and silence fell between them once more. After a long pause, she mumbled, “Andrew, I don’t know why, but I feel cold somehow.” Andrew looked surprised and moved closer, gently taking her hand. “Cold? Have you been feeling unwell lately?” Luna shook her head. “I’m fine… Everything’s fine. But somehow, I’ve been feeling restless these past few days. No, actually, it’s been longer than that. Ever since we got back from the Advanced Medical Institute, I’ve been feeling this inexplicable irritation and anxiety.

That’s why that day when you came to my office at military headquarters… I-I didn’t think twice. I just went —- along with what happened between us.” Andrew watched her delicate brows furrow slightly and could not help but chuckle. “Luna, you don’t need to worry about anything. Actually, to be honest, I’ve been having an uncomfortable feeling that I can’t quite explain too.” Luna looked utterly shocked. “You too?” Andrew looked at the sky, where the night above was black as ink. “Yeah, me too! And this feeling has only gotten stronger. But this isn’t the first time I’ve felt this way.

Years ago, I led the Iron Cavalry on a covert infiltration into enemy territory. We got dangerously close to the Dark Clans’ main stronghold in the West!” I continued, “Back then, I had the same feeling I’m having now. Every inch of my skin was gradually heating up. In my heart, there was this unstoppable agitation and intense killing intent that I couldn’t control. That’s why I had several extra drinks tonight. The alcohol helped calm me down quite a bit.” Luna tensed up involuntarily. “The Dark Clans’ main stronghold? That’s where the Dark Trinity gather, isn’t it?

Martial artists from Holtrien have always been mortal enemies with the Dark Clans. Back then, you had just broken through to the martial emperor level, hadn’t you? Why were you assigned such a dangerous mission?”
