Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance to the Lloyd family estate. Luna and Leslie got out of the car and rushed into the estate.

Sheena happened to be passing by and saw Luna running toward Andrew’s little, rundown house. She mumbled, “Huh? Why is Luna at our place again? From the look of things, she seems pretty anxious, too. Could it be that Andy has stolen the heart of this military ice queen?”

The more Sheena thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She initially wanted to follow and secretly see what was going on. However, after a moment’s thought, she dismissed the idea.

Her showdown with Alfredo was getting closer and closer. Recently, it was better to nurture her mind and spirit, avoid getting involved in other matters, and prevent any emotional fluctuations. Before a fight, true masters needed to achieve a state where their hearts were as calm as a lake.

Meanwhile, Sheena was someone whose mind wandered easily. She could do anything except sit still.

Andrew was sitting under the eaves of his rundown house, studying something. Natasha and Aspen had, as usual, gone out to train. When he heard hurried footsteps approaching, he did not even look up and chuckled. “You’re back already.”

He thought it was Aspen and Natasha. Yet, when he turned his head, he froze. It was Luna and Leslie. He asked, “General Phelan, what are you doing here?”

Luna pressed her lips together, then immediately frowned. “You’re injured?”

Andrew smiled. “No, I’m fine.” He even waved his hand.

Luna’s brow showed a trace of panic. “Andrew, you don’t need to lie to me. I’m not a child or some low–level martial artist. You’re injured, and it’s not minor either.”

With that said, ignoring Andrew’s surprised look, she stepped forward and pulled open the front of his shirt. One look revealed several wounds, clearly freshly bandaged. Faintly, Luna could also see the Blood–Eyed Black Dragon tattoo on Andrew’s chest.

She let go and stepped back, her eyes wide. “How did it get this bad? Did someone from Sovereign’s Apothecary clash with you? If that’s the case, I won’t let Theon and those people get away with this.”

Leslie was shocked to hear those words. She thought, ‘Oh no. General Phelan is doing that again. She’s so protective, fierce, and way too obvious! Anyone watching would think she was defending her boyfriend!’

Andrew, on the other hand, was completely caught off guard. Her sudden concern made him awkwardly scratch his nose and laugh. “Really, it’s fine. It’s just a minor injury, and it’s got nothing to do with Sovereign’s Apothecary.”

Luna shook her head. “This is not a minor injury. From the wounds alone, I can tell that whoever fought you had at least martial emperor–level strength. Their attacks were fierce, brutal, and absolutely ruthless.

“If… and I mean if… there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to ask. I don’t want to see you like this.”

This time, Leslie was not only shocked, she was stunned speechless. ‘What on earth is happening? Since when did the General sound this gentle?’

Andrew laughed again, clearly wanting to steer the conversation elsewhere. “Let’s not talk about that. What brings you here, anyway?”

Luna pursed her lips. “I went to Sovereign’s Apothecary to find you, but Mikayla and the others said you were gone, that you’d been expelled. What happened?”
