Valerie said, "I don't want to stay alone, and besides, I don't like this crappy place. I'll stay with you to protect you."
Andrew laughed. "This is Mount Lourneau. There's no danger here, so there's no need for protection."
Valerie frowned. "Andrew, don't you think there's something strange about Mr. Lawrence? Since he agreed to meet us, why insist on tomorrow? If he didn't want to, he could've just turned us down outright. And Mr. Johnston suddenly went into complete seclusion, too. I'm worried that…"
Andrew said calmly, "You're worried they might turn against me, right?"
Valerie's face darkened as she nodded.
Andrew pulled out the Elixir of Immortality, his eyes cold. "Don't worry, I always have a trump card! If Guillermo's reach really is that long, stretching even into Mount Lourneau, then I don't mind going another round with him."
Valerie asked curiously, "What's that in your hand? Some kind of pill?"
Andrew did not hide it and smiled. "That's right, a pill. A tenth-grade heaven pill. It has another name, the Elixir of Immortality. After taking it, it'll most likely have the effect of bringing someone back from the brink of death!"
Valerie was stunned speechless. "A tenth-grade pill? Could this be the legendary miracle drug? I never thought something like this actually existed in the world."
Andrew chuckled and suddenly tossed it to her.
Valerie instinctively caught it, handling it carefully. "Why are you giving this to me?"
Andrew said, "You can take a look at it."
However, Valerie did not open the lid. Instead, she bit her lip. "This is so precious, and you trust me that much? What if I just took off with it right now? You'd be completely helpless."
Andrew looked up at the ceiling, relaxing with a smile. "You won't. Even if you really did that, I wouldn't be angry."
Valerie pressed on. "Why not?"
Andrew smiled. "Because I already consider you one of my own, just like Luna. So no matter what you do to me, good or bad, I won't have the heart to make you suffer."
