Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2147

Luna shook her head. "Stop bragging, Andrew. You think saying that will intimidate me, but I can still see where you stand. As a son of the Lloyd royal family, you really are extraordinary. You've reached my level of strength, but to borrow your own words: if we fought, you still wouldn't beat me."

Andrew remained noncommittal and turned to glance at her, "So you came here to fight me?"

Luna smiled. "No need for that! The Phelan family's focus isn't on martial arts, the underworld, or businesses. You should know my direction of development: the military!

"So we don't conflict with each other! On the contrary, I sincerely congratulate you on becoming the King of Gabo Creek!"

Andrew laughed. "Ms. Phelan, you're being particularly reasonable today. To return the courtesy, I'll lower my guard as well. Thank you."

Luna waved her hand. "No need to thank me. A man of your strength deserves my respect. If you were a weakling, I wouldn't waste a word on you."

She paused before adding, "Andrew, there's something else I wanted to ask."

Andrew raised a brow. "Are you about to ask me again about the Lloyd family's dragon prince?"

A flicker of embarrassment flashed across Luna's face. "I'll never give up searching for him, but today I'm asking about something else. Within the Lloyd royal family, there's a man of great renown. His name is Reginald Lloyd, the previous dragon prince. However, he betrayed your clan. Have you heard of him?"

Andrew immediately showed a guarded expression. "Why are you asking about him?"

Reginald had always been at odds with Holtrien's military. From what Andrew knew, he had apparently injured a military elder, which had caused quite a stir back then.

Luna nodded. "From your reaction, it seems you do know this person! Reginald was the pride of your Lloyd family, wasn't he! But unfortunately, he chose the wrong path and actually betrayed the Lloyds, taking an evil route!"

Luna froze. "Married into Vestra royalty?"

Andrew nodded. "That's right. From what I heard, he married into his family. Apparently, they wanted his bloodline."

Luna's lips twitched, and without another word, she turned and walked off. She did not even bother to say goodbye before driving away.

Andrew watched her military vehicle disappear, his mind racing. He thought, 'First, Mrs. Rhodes, then Victoria. Now, even Luna's mother wants to know about Dad. Victoria also mentioned that a woman from the Phelan family had a history with him. Putting it all together… could Dad really have a past with Luna's mother?'

The more Andrew thought about it, the more unnerving it felt. If his suspicions were true, then his father truly was on another level.
