NovelGoldChapter 1769
After a moment of silence, Andrew smiled calmly. "Governor McCormick, let's not beat around the bush. I think
what you just said was a reminder that I've been expanding too quickly, which has made you uneasy, right?"
Derek looked surprised, then let out a short laugh. "You sure don't beat around the bush. Here | was, trying to be
subtle. You're right, Mr. Lloyd. | am indeed uneasy."
He explained, "Gabo Creek province already has enough troublemakers. The Three Titans alone constantly
exhaust me, and now there's you added to the mix. If we switched places and you were sitting in my position,
how would you feel?"
Andrew nodded. "I get where you're coming from. When someone below keeps expanding unchecked, the result
is always the same: things spiral out of control. You're the head of this state, so naturally, that's the last thing
you want. But I'll say this-you can trust me."
Derek raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can you givejust one reason to trust you?"
Andrew looked him in the eye and laughed.
Andrew met his gaze and smiled. "For the greater good of everyone!"
Derek shook his head. "Not good enough. Not even close."
Andrew said, "Then how about this? To fix the system, empower the marginalized, save forgotten knowledge,

Derek shook his head again. "You sound like you're running for President. So no, still not convincing."
Andrew paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Governor McCormick, do you remember something you once
told me? You said you studied abroad at Chetvine. While you were there, you met someone brilliant in every way,
someone who left a lasting impression and earned your respect."
Derek frowned slightly. "Yeah... | remember. It's true. To this day, that man sticks in my memory, but | never got
to find out who he really was."
Andrew asked, "After becoming governor, did you ever use your connections or resources to try to find out?"
Derek hesitated, then let out a bitter laugh. "I'd be lying if | said no. Yeah, | did sdigging. All | learned was
that he cfrom the royal family of Chetvine. As for which exact family... that was beyond my reach."
Andrew said solemnly, "Well, you might not know, but I do. His nwas
Reginald, and he was from the Lloyds royal bloodline."
Derek's jaw dropped as shock filled his eyes.
Andrew continued, "That's not all | cto tell you. Reginald had a son, and his nis Andrew. Both of them
are direct heirs of the Lloyds royal family, and their lifelong mission has always been to serve this great nation
and this land. So, Governor McCormick, do you feel reassured now?"
Trying to suppress the storm of emotions brewing inside him, Derek's arm trembled as he clenched his fist
tightly.
"Say no more. | get it. From now on, | won't question your moves. You have my complete trust."
He looked Andrew straight in the eye, dead serious.
The man standing before him was a descendant of the Lloyds royal family, and that changed everything.
The Lloyds had always been known for their unwavering loyalty and sacrifice. For the past hundred years,
everyone knew it. Hence, there was no need to say more.
Andrew smiled. "Relax. No need to be so tense. In Gabo Creek, you're the boss. I'm just a minor character behind
you."
Derek quickly waved him off. "No, no! Who am | to consider you
smaller than me? Oh, Mr. Lloval neo
There's something I've always been curious about. Mind if | ask?"
Andrew nodded. "Go ahead."
Derek looked sheepish and
scratched his head. "So, rumor has it
that every direct heir of the Lloyds,
family is born with ydfaloir ark.

Without hesitation, Andrew pulled off
his shirt. "Here. Take: copkalydl'
