Luther fell silent because Andrew's question left him completely stuck. In the end, he sighed and said, "Andrew, you're the organization's chosen future leader. All these years you've been away from the organization, living on your own. Yet somehow, you still ended up back on the main stage today."
He continued, "The organization has been watching everything. You were never an ordinary person, and the expectations and restrictions placed on you were never ordinary either. All of this happened because your leader allowed it to happen.
"In his words, only a flower that grows in chaos can bloom vividly enough to become immortal, but a flower raised in a greenhouse is nothing but fragile softness. Other than that one hint of delicate beauty, it's useless and withers at the slightest touch."
Andrew looked at him. "Mr. Johnston, if you have something to say, just say it."
Luther replied, "I don't know if helping you be reborn is a good thing or a bad thing, but I choose to believe in you, and I choose to believe in your organization's leader. A man as remarkable as he is wouldn't be wrong. Or rather, if even he can be wrong, then it wouldn't be surprising for someone like me to be wrong too."
He added, "To be honest, Andrew, you make me very uneasy. You possess unmatched talent, yet your heart is filled with so much violence. As a martial artist, I think it's bad."
Andrew gave a mocking smile. "My heart is filled with violence? But you don't see how much darker and crueler other people's hearts are. I'm telling you this, sir: my heart holds Holtrien and my family. Everything I have will be dedicated to those two. As for everyone else? Anyone who stands in my way will die, regardless of how powerful they are. Don't you think I've been giving Guillermo too much face already?"
Luther opened his mouth, hesitated, then sighed helplessly. "Yes, Guillermo really has gone too far."
If anyone else had said these things, Luther would have dismissed them without thinking. However, Andrew was someone he considered on the same level as himself.
If Andrew had not been restrained all these years, Guillermo truly would not have fared well. It was not impossible that the so-called chessmaster of Holtrien would have long since met an unfortunate end!
