Andrew’s eyes flashed sharp as a blade, and he gave a cold snort. “The words ‘Iron Cavalry’ are the ones I hate the most in my entire life. Luna, whatever we have between us, it’s not friendship; it’s just… not completely terrible, that’s all. So don’t mistake shallow ties for deep ones. Whatever you want to say, I don’t care to know, and if that’s all, I’m leaving.”

Luna stood frozen in place, her expression somewhat disbelieving. She could feel that the person before her was becoming more and more distant and unfamiliar with each step. Sure enough, that buried past had already formed irreparable wounds in his heart.

“Fine, I shouldn’t have brought up things from the past, as there’s no point. But I still have some questions. Why did you attack low-ranking officers like Brett when you came to the Martial Tower?”

Andrew sneered. “What now? You want to stand up for the Harding family? Or is the military planning to step in and accuse me, too?”

Luna panicked and quickly shook her head. “That’s not it, and I would never side with the people who are targeting you. I just think you shouldn’t have attacked Brett and the others. Like it or not, they’re still part of the Harding family. Hurting them only makes more enemies for you, and it doesn’t gain you anything.”

Andrew’s tone was icy. “Forget hurting him. I could have killed him outright. In Martial Tower, strength is the only law, and the Hardings, along with Kyrie, are nothing but trash who can’t touch me. And you’re wrong. I didn’t actually hurt Brett or any of those small fry.”

Luna’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”

Andrew’s voice was indifferent. “Go ask the medics. If spitting a little blood counts as injury, then today’s soldiers are worthless, no better than lambs waiting for slaughter. Ten years ago, what Brett went through would’ve been a daily drill for me.”

With that, Andrew turned and left without another word.

Luna stood rooted to the ground, both angry and hurt. Her face hardened again as she stormed to the infirmary and demanded, “How badly are Brett and the others hurt?”

The medic spread his hands. “They’re fine. Just coughed up some blood. Whoever hit them had incredible control. He actually cleared out the blockages in their meridians. On the surface, it looks like they got beaten badly, but in truth, it’s going to help them improve in their training. Those spoiled Chetvine brats got lucky. Back when I was grinding in Martial Tower, I never had that kind of blessing.”

Luna stood in stunned silence, unable to say a word. So, she had been overthinking everything again.

Andrew never meant to cripple anyone. Maybe he did want to put the Hardings in their place, but when it came to military officers, he had not truly gone for blood. On the contrary, he had helped them, forcing their bodies to open up blocked energy paths.

And here she was, stewing over his motives, questioning why he acted the way he did.

She silently scolded herself, ‘Luna, your heart is already in chaos! You’re so unsettled that you can’t even see through something this simple.’

And the more the unease grew inside her, the clearer it became: she was no longer in control of her own emotions.

This was the first time in her life she had experienced this.
