At that moment, Andrew was sitting with Zachary.
โEver since I got to Blumedale, Iโve been slammed with work. Totally forgot to come hang out with you,โ Andrew said with a smile.
Zacharyโs rugged face twisted into mock irritation. โForgot? Please! Youโve just been out there flexing while leaving me in the dust!โ
Andrew waved a hand. โLetโs talk business. You said Luna showed up, even pulled a gun? What exactly happened?โ
Zachary straightened his posture. โI came all the way to Serenity Villa just to tell you in person. Captain, that psycho woman had her eyes locked on you.โ
Andrew replied calmly, โSheโs been annoyed with me from the start. But whatโs that got to do with you?โ
Zachary said, โShe showed up at my restaurant and asked me about you. I didnโt tell her anything, but when she left, her face looked like a storm was coming.โ
There was a pause, and Andrew asked, โYou kept quiet, and in return, she pulled a gun on you. Am I right?โ
Zacharyโs eyelid twitched, and he laughed dryly. โI mean, technically, yes. But it wasnโt serious. No need for you to get pissed.โ
Andrew grinned. โBack when we were in the organization, you knew what kind of temper I had. I donโt mess with people, and I donโt take kindly to people messing with me. Iโve cut ties with my past. Everythingโs gone. Iโm just living life clean now.โ
He added, โBut still, someone always wants to dig up dirt, start trouble, push boundaries. And now weโve reached the point where theyโre pulling guns? What a joke.โ
Zachary laughed nervously. โCaptain, please donโt smile like that. It freaks me out.โ
Andrew snorted. โWhat are you scared of? Iโm not targeting you. Go back. And no need to worry about Luna. Iโll handle it.โ
Zachary asked carefully, โHow are you planning to handle it? Can we not make it a whole thing?โ
Andrewโs eyes turned sharp. โIf she wants to use her power to push people around, then Iโll push back harder. Thatโs how Iโll handle it. Whether it turns into a big mess or not depends on her.โ
Zachary swallowed hard and left. He knew Andrew was capable of anything. Luna might be a high-ranking general and deadly in her own right. However, the man he had just spoken to was the type who would not hesitate to challenge the heavens themselves.
After a few steps, Zachary turned around and called out, โCaptain, are you free on New Yearโs Day? January 1stโฆโ
Andrew chuckled. โIf you need help, just say it. If itโs anything else, Iโm not interested. Zac, I donโt want you getting too close to me. The last thing I want is to see your corpse lying cold on the ground.โ
Zachary grinned widely, shrugging. โDead or alive, we all go out someday. Why be scared? Besides, those old enemies arenโt going to chase me into Gabo Creek province. At least, not anytime soon.โ
โOn January 1st, Iโm formally entering the inner circle of the Southern Martial Union under Jerome Thornton, the leader. Iโm not too confident about my chances, so Iโd like you to come along and back me up!โ
Andrew nodded. โNo problem.โ
Zachary left happily. Andrew said it was not a problem, which meant everything was locked in.
Just minutes after Zachary left, Luna arrived at Serenity Villa. Facing the tightly shut gate, Leslie frowned and stepped forward to ring the bell.

Yet, no one answered.
Leslie scoffed and yelled, โAndrew, are you in there? If you are, come open the door and welcome Ms. Phelan!โ
Andrewโs voice echoed from inside the house. โSorry, nobodyโs home!โ
Leslie froze. If no one was home, then who the hell just answered?
