Rising from the Ashes Chapter 1250
Daniel did not even pause to think. "Sorry, buddy, our dean's booked solid! If you're here for medical advice or whatever, Mr. Goddard's tied up for the next six months!"Andrew cracked a sly grin. "Busy man, huh? Booked for half a year?"Daniel scowled, not liking Andrew's grin one bit.Like he had done with some old guy earlier, he shooed Andrew with a flick of his wrist. "Scram, it's not like just anyone can see Mr. Goddard! If we let every Tom, Dick, and Harry in, Mr. Goddard would be run ragged, wouldn't he?"Andrew chuckled. "So what you're saying is, us regular Joes can't even get a meeting with Mr. Goddard now?"Daniel pushed up his glasses with a warning edge to his voice, "Sir, if you're here for a doctor's visit, then do the right thing and go sign in and wait your turn! And if you're not, stop making a scene, will you?"He had sent that old lady on her way with just a few words before!This kid, he was right there, saw the whole thing.Daniel thought, 'You know what

Andrew stepped out at the entrance of Mercy Hospital.He strode to the reception, ready to book a meet-up with Malcolm.An old-timer with a cane was ahead of him, begging a nurse, "Please, doctor, I've been on hold for over two months. When's my number up? When's Mr. Goddard gonna slice me open?"The nurse looked all kinds of uncomfortable. "Granny, Mr. Goddard and the big-shot professors are busy! Maybe try booking with another doctor?"The old man was shaking like a leaf, pleading, "I wouldn't bug the bigwigs if I had a choice, but only the dean and the profs can handle my op. Please, doctor, I'm begging you…"He did not get to finish. A towering doctor, Daniel Charlton, with a frosty mug walked up.The nurse piped up quickly, "Dr. Charlton, you're here!"Daniel was all ice, "Yeah, what's the deal?"The nurse gestured towards the elderly woman standing before Andrew. "This old woman had an appointment for Mr. Goddard's surgery, but she's still not on the list!"Daniel glance

"Don't worry, you'll be kicking yourself for not taking me seriously soon enough!"Andrew rolled his eyes. "So, are we doing this or what, you eyesore? If you're not up for it, I'm out. Got bigger fish to fry!"The grin on Carl's face slowly disappeared, and his eyes squinted in warning, "Listen, kid, don't get too cocky! I'm usually a chill guy! You can diss my healing hands or say I can't throw a punch to save my life! "However, if there's one thing off-limits, it's dissing my looks! I'm telling you, I'm as dashing as Henry Cavill himself! Your snide remarks? They cut deep, man."Andrew could not help but laugh, giving Mosby's ace another once-over."You're comparing yourself to Henry Cavill?" Andrew quizzed him.Carl arched an eyebrow, "You don't agree?"Andrew shook his head, "Dude, saying you look like Napoleon Bonaparte is giving you way too much credit. I'm about to drop a truth bomb, and it ain't gonna be music to your ears!"If I were your dad, I would've shoved you r

After freshening up, Andrew eagerly checked out the package Aspen had mentioned.He ripped it open and could not help but nod, pleased as punch. The medicinal herb he had been waiting for had arrived right at his doorstep!It seemed that Mosby's apprentice really came through last night.With the final ingredient for Tiana's martial arts elixir in hand, Andrew got down to business.Tiana had the bulk of the main ingredients ready to go.The few bits and bobs that were missing? Andrew generously topped them off.By late morning, Andrew stepped out of his alchemy room in Serenity Villa, a small porcelain bottle containing Tiana's needed elixir in tow.Natasha batted her eyelashes at him and teased, "Hey, how about you join me for a little shopping spree?"Andrew chuckled. "Shopping? Got your eye on something special?"Natasha shook her head. "Not looking to buy anything, but the capital's streets are buzzing these days!"The Grand Medical Summit is kicking off soon, and it's th

"Andrew? What a plain name. He must be just as unremarkable, a total nobody."Carl popped his lips in contempt as he spoke.Mosby cautioned, "Carl, don't take him lightly! The kid's got some moves. Even the hit orders from two major families haven't touched him!"Carl scoffed, "Mr. Lake, let's not give the guy too much credit and knock ourselves down a peg. We both know exactly what went down! If the Kellers hadn't stepped in, Andrew would be six feet under by now."Mosby replied calmly, "You're not wrong. He's only alive because of the Keller family's protection! So when you strike, make it fast, precise, and deadly. And don't get caught!"Carl smirked, "Staying under the radar? That's not my style! However, dealing with the Kellers, that's a real headache! So, after I take out Andrew, I won't be leaving my calling card, 'Killed by Carl.'"Mosby's fists tightened with resolve, "Skip the theatrics! After you finish off Andrew, bring me the Bates family's lost map! That treasure I

Old Hayface and his two juniors were curled up on the ground, clutching their heads, knocked out cold from the beating.However, through it all, they barely made a peep, they took their licks like champs!They were used to that kind of treatment, after all!Mosby had that nasty habit, whenever things did not go his way, he would take it out on others by doling out beatings!However, today, he had gone too far, knocking them out cold!"Ronan, you old coot, I've given you endless riches, miracle pills, and treasures galore, I have been more than generous, and yet you still won't hand over that map fragment…"When it's your life or the map, you choose the map! I've tried it all, sweet talk, tough talk, every trick in the book, but you're just unbreakable!"And now, Andrew—that little punk—hasn't done a thing for you, and you just up and give him the map fragment for nothing?" The more Mosby stewed on it, the hotter his anger burned, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets!

On the west side of the capital, there was a ritzy neighborhood where the real estate was worth a fortune.Mosby's swanky villa was nestled right there.With the Grand Medical Summit just around the corner, Mosby had been hustling like crazy, getting everything ready for the big event.Even with his medical skills being top-tier in the capital—a place brimming with talent—he was still cramming like there was no tomorrow to make sure he shone at the Summit.It was tough out there, even for a bigwig like him. He had to stay sharp, or the next hotshot would leave him in the dust.Take that pesky Andrew, for instance.The kid's medical mojo had Mosby all mixed up, forcing him to stay on his toes.Last time, Andrew actually managed to fix the Keller family head's energy corruption, stealing the spotlight and rewards that were meant for Mosby!Naturally, Mosby's got a serious grudge brewing.However, it also lit a fire under him."Hmph, I've gotta hand it to the kid, his skills are

"Yeah, he's got the Page family's piece, and it looks like that's not the only one."Andrew's brow creased with concern. "Other than the Page family's, he's got more fragments?"The man went pale as a ghost, barely getting the words out. "At least one more, besides the Page's. He kept it a secret, but I found out."Andrew shot a glance at Ronan, whose face was a storm about to break.It looked like the Page family's map piece had ended up in Mosby's clutches, and Ronan was feeling the heat!Andrew pressed on, "You mentioned your mentor's out to take me down! Hmm, I'm really curious, does he even have what it takes?"Old Hayface clenched his teeth and said, "My mentor might not be a match for you, but our top dog, my senior, is about to hit up the capital! And when he does, you're gonna get wrecked!"Andrew quirked an eyebrow, "This senior of yours, Mosby's star pupil… Is he that tough?"Despite his agony, Old Hayface could not help but boast, "Absolutely, you've heard of Xavier

Andrew was in his car when he dialed Tiana's number."Mrs. Rhodes, heads up! Quinton is snooping around your family's business!""What do you mean, snooping around?" Tiana asked, puzzled."Does your family have a piece of that legendary treasure map?" Andrew inquired.Tiana responded calmly, "Treasure map? I have no idea what you're talking about."Andrew chuckled. "Whether you're playing coy or you're genuinely in the dark, Mrs. Rhodes. Just know that I've given you the heads-up!"You and Mr. Rhodes should watch your backs and keep that map piece safe. Quinton's got some tricks up his sleeve!"With that, Andrew ended the call.Tiana was always careful, and feigning ignorance was her way of playing it safe.Andrew's goal, however, was to alert the Rhodes family to be cautious, not to express interest in their map fragment.With the message delivered, he did not waste more words.Night had fallen, and the Oak Apothecary was closed for the day.As Andrew parked, a small side
