Chapter 1177
Luna turned around, clearly reluctant to even look at Andrew, and said flatly, “I can save you once, maybe even twice–but not a third time. To be precise, the only reason stepped in at all was because you’ve done favors for the Phelans… and for Marvin.
“But next time? Your life or death will have nothing to do with me. So, here’s my advice–tone it down. This is Blumedale, not Jayrodale. You could show off back there, and no one cared, but here? Power and politics clash every second. Dying young might be the only fate you’re headed for.”
Andrew frowned. “Luna, are you sick or something? Did I ask you to save me?”
That one line did not just offend Luna–it also lit a fire in Chantelle.
“Andrew, what the hell is wrong with you? General Phelan just saved your damn life. You didn’t even say thank you, and now you’re blaming her? Are you even a man?”
She was speechless, thinking the guy was seriously unbelievable.
Andrew shot her a cold glare. “Shut your mouth. No one asked for your opinion. Keep running your mouth, and I’ll make sure the entire world knows I’ve seen you naked.”
Chantelle’s fury exploded inside her, but she gritted her teeth and swallowed it back.
This bastard was really asking for it.
Andrew turned back to Luna and said coldly, “You ruined everything.”
Luna let out a cold laugh. “Oh, I see. Saving your life ruined your plan to die a glorious death?”
Andrew said in a low voice, “I told you not to interfere. If you hadn’t stepped in, Xavier wouldn’t have walked out of The Sovereign Residences. I might not have killed him on the spot like I did his brother, but I would’ve crushed that Haywood arrogance–the entire Five Apex Families need someone to put out their fire.”
He had deliberately provoked Xavier earlier, all to cripple the Haywoods‘ golden boy and send a loud message to Blumedale’s elite.
However, Luna’s appearance had completely derailed everything.
“So you really think you could’ve survived his blade?” Luna’s tone was mocking now.
This guy had the nerve to act smug after she had saved his life? What a joke.
Andrew smirked. “The real question is whether I’d choose to kill him… or just leave him half–dead.”
Luna’s expression did not shift. It was as if nothing in the world could move her anymore. “Xavier was right. You really are an insect someone who doesn’t know his place. It’s a waste of time arguing with you.
“Let’s just call it here. Whatever favor the Phelans owed you? Consider it paid in full. Next time, I won’t lift a finger for you.”
She threw those words like daggers, then turned on her hee, her military boots striking against the ground as she walked away.
Andrew said casually, “It’s true that I didn’t need your help today, but since you did step in, I’ll admit–I’m not completely ungrateful.”
Luna did not stop walking. “Your gratitude means nothing to me.”
Andrew chuckled. “Of course. Ms. Phelan, the shining moon in the sky–why would you care about us mortals?

But since that’s the case, I guess I’ll go ahead and keep living at Serenity Villa.”
Luná halted, turned, and frowned at him. “Are you saying you were going to give up Serenity Villa as a thank–you gift? In that case… I suppose I can accept it–reluctantly.”
Andrew shook his head with a straight face. “That was the original plan, yes. But since you’re only willing to accept it so reluctantly, let’s not bother. I don’t believe in forcing people into anything. So, General Phelan, take care now.”
He turned around and strolled right back into Serenity Villa with no hesitation, no guilt.
Luna stood there, frozen in place, a rare flicker of confusion on her otherwise unreadable face.
Had she, the decorated General of Holtrien, the second daughter of the mighty Phelan family, just gotten played by this nobody?
