Across the frozen man-made lake stood Joe's massive mansion.
At that moment, a man and a woman stood side by side on the rooftop. The icy wind whipped around them, but
the biting cold did not seem to affect them at all. Moreover, neither of them was wearing much.
The man on the left wore all white, stylish and striking. He was so handsome, like a male escort from an upscale
club.
The man was none other than Joe Driscoll!
The person on the right wore military attire, and her beauty was so stunning that
no words could do it justice. Wherever she stood, she becthe center of attention.
It was Luna, just returned from her vacation.
It was an extremely rare sight to see two of the Gabo Creek province's most exceptional prodigies together in
one frame.
"So, what do you think of Andrew's martial arts skills? Pretty impressive, right?" Joe broke the silence first.
Luna shrugged. "Not bad, | guess."
Joe shook his head. "Not just 'not bad'... He's incredible, next-level, totally unique. The way he trains Lauren,
Francesca, and Aspen is completely tailored to each of them. He teaches exactly what each of those ladies needs
to grow strongest."

Chetvine circuit. Holtrien's southern martial scene spans an entire continent. So, there's no shortage of powerful
folks. But even in that massive talent pool, very few have what Andrew brings to the table."
Luna turned slightly, her face unreadable as she glanced at him. "Joe, you sound almost disheartened."
Joe gave a bitter smile. "Those who are too rigid will break easily—that's the advice my master gavethe day |
started training, and now, | finally get it."
A mocking smile curled on Luna's lips. "So what? You got 'broken' by Andrew?"
Joe's face flushed red, anger
flashing in his eyes. Eventually, he calmed down and admitted honestly, "Yes, I'm no match for him. Only two
people have defeatedin my entire life. The first was you, you cold-hearted woman. Second, Andrew."
Luna's voice remained flat. "Andrew doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the sbreath as me, and you do
know that, right?"
Joe nodded. "Yeah, you're not wrong. But | still have this feeling that he might actually be a worthy rival for you,
maybe even a great stepping stone."
Luna scoffed. "I don't need a stepping stone anymore. I'd just swing my blade and split the stone in half."
Joe shrugged, clearly bored. "Alright, I'm done chatting with the golden child. I'm off to see my mentor."
Luna blinked. "Your mentor? You mean the Driscoll family paid a fortune to hire the head of the Southern Martial
Union to teach you?"
Joe shook his head. "Nope."
Luna snorted. "Besides him, | can't imagine anyone in the entire southern region qualified to teach you!"
Joe scratched his head, looking uncharacteristically sheepish. He mumbled, "Technically, she's not really my
mentor. | tried to formally becher student, but she ignoredand toldto get lost. But I'm fully
committed to martial arts. I'm chasing the peak, and no matter what, I'm going to train under her."
Luna gave a half-smile. "Do | have the
