Chapter 1942
---- Chapter 1942 Andrew immediately understood what Victoria meant. "Indeed, with my current connections
and various relationships, I've definitely grown powerful here in Blumedale!" On the Wright family side, Andrew
controlled things remotely through Yara. The Keller family could be considered completely under his influence. As
for the Goldings, while they were not exactly close, the tension from before had vanished now that his power had
grown.
Most grudges in this world, truthfully, were easy to resolve. As long as you were strong enough, people would
caround smiling, saying stuff like, "Let bygones be bygones." Among the Five Apex Families, the remaining
Haywoods were Andrew's mortal enemies. However, Andrew had reached a point where he did not even take
them seriously anymore. In Gabo Creek, there were several major powers: the Three Titans and Derek. Andrew's
relationship with Derek was out in the open.
At least, Derek already knew his identity as the Dragon Prince of the Lloyds. That left the Three Titans. ---- The
Driscoll family and Andrew were definitely mortal enemies at this point. Meanwhile, things were also heating up
between him and the Fischer family, making them more enemies than allies at this point. Lastly, Andrew and the
Phelans were in a rather unique position. Their relationship depended entirely on Luna.
If Andrew took the initiative to show goodwill, Luna would likely bechis ally. However, Andrew disliked her
arrogance, so he had always kept his distance. Moreover, she was not the type to back down either. Hence, the
two were on their own separate journey. For Andrew, his relationship with the Phelans could only be seen as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtneutral for now, neither good nor bad.
If Andrew really wanted to becthe King of Gabo Creek and dominate the region, he would need to face the
Driscolls and Fischers head-on, not to mention sother independent powerhouses in the martial world.
Victoria let out a cold scoff. "Andrew, | want you to be a little more ambitious. | know you're not into for
status, and the ---- title 'King of Gabo Creek’ probably means nothing to you "But don't forget... Your people, the
ones who follow you, they're all based here in Gabo Creek.
So, even if you don't care about the title, claiming it would still benefit your people, and me. There's no downside
to it." If anyone else had said that, Andrew would have laughed it off and assumed they were just trying to use
him. However, Victoria was different. He knew that, whatever unspoken feelings she had, she genuinely cared
about him and meant well. "Victoria, | just think it feels... a bit too flashy.
And besides, it won't be long before | have to return to Chetvine and visit the Lloyds, to settle things with my dad
and clean up the past." Andrew sighed bitterly, finally voicing what had been weighing on him. Victoria replied,
"You going back to Chetvine, to face the fallout with your dad after all these years of staying away... | completely
support that. But that has nothing to do with you taking the reins here in Gabo Creek.
