In this world, there is no such thing as eternal friends.

After uncovering the identity of Micah Will's disciple, Julius Reed reached out to Andrew under the guise of a Gold Envoy to set today's grand stage.
Pendleton wanted to eliminate the threat of the Seven Veins and was naturally eager to kill Micah Will. Moreover, based on intelligence provided by Andrew, Micah Will was indeed suspect.
Especially upon hearing the news that the Young Family was allied with a Crown Prince Gold Envoy, Pendleton's belief in achieving two goals with one move within his ranks grew firmer.
First, kill Micah Will, then eliminate the Crown Prince Gold Envoy.
Finally, wipe out the Young Family altogether.
For Andrew, the survival of Micah Will and the Gold Envoy mattered little.
