"This is your home, isn't it?" Natasha could not help but ask.
Andrew shook his head. "It used to be, but not anymore. This is just my house now."
With that, he strode confidently through the entrance.
At the Lloyd family compound's main gate, aside from two stone statues that looked run-down, there were no other decent decorations whatsoever. Unlike some nouveau riche families that hired martial kings or even martial saints as guards to display their prestige and extraordinary status, the Lloyd family compound was completely casual about security.
The main gate stayed open 24 hours a day without fear of intruders. The entrance looked so shabby that anyone unfamiliar with the place might mistake it for an abandoned construction site.
Once inside, however, the place was quite distinctive. At the very least, it was clean and well-maintained.
Natasha began to notice people walking by. Each person hurried along with their heads down, seeming to carry heavy burdens on their minds.
Some clutched briefcases, others reeked of blood, and some had dark circles under their eyes as if they had not slept all night.
Natasha felt a chill running down her spine and could not help shivering.
Just from the few people she had seen upon entering, every single one gave her the terrifying sensation of facing a wild beast. Among them, a one-eyed man was particularly unsettling as he carried a bloody bundle in his hand.

Why there is no update for last two days??...
Brilliant piece of work. I am enjoying the novel. The only problem is that it is taking longer to update more chapters....
