Chapter 1423

작가: Only For You
Emily, Freya, and Hannah smiled as they stepped forward with their own birthday gifts.

The attendant announced, "From Ms. Emily, an original oil painting by Elias Greaves; from Ms. Freya, a rare medicinal pill from Mistveil Peak; and from Ms. Hannah, a string of sanctified prayer beads, blessed by the Grand Sage of the Solace Abbey!"

They could have given these gifts to George privately earlier. However, they deliberately waited until all the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce members were present to make their presentation.

First, it demonstrated the three daughters' affection for their father in front of everyone. Second, it was meant to pressure Andrew and show him what standards he was expected to meet—even casual gifts within the Keller family were beyond what ordinary people could dream of affording.

George's usually stern face softened slightly as he looked at his three daughters' gifts. "You girls are so thoughtful!"

Hannah pouted playfully, "Dad, aren't you going to ask

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 2136

    When Andrew arrived at the Moonlit Apothecary, the sight before him left him stunned. The courtyard was packed with patients, shoulder to shoulder, and the line stretched all the way out to the street. Aspen gave a wry smile. "Dr. Aicker is going to work himself into a stroke at this rate!" Andrew agreed, since too much business was not always a good thing. After all, Cedric was getting old and could not endure such strain. Pushing through the crowd, Andrew entered the apothecary and saw several unfamiliar faces treating patients. "Excuse me, is Dr. Aicker here?" he asked the young woman at the front. The woman in a white coat, Sonia Adams, did not even look up as she replied, "Dr. Aicker is upstairs! Sorry, but he's resting and won't see anyone!" Andrew smiled, "That's fine. I can wait until he's finished resting before going up to see him." Just then, a surprised voice rang out. "Mr. Lloyd, is that you? You've come back?" Andrew turned to see a security guard with o

    These people also knew that before Andrew left Jayrodale, he had already fought his way across the city, leaving no rival standing. None of the great families in the city had dared to lift a finger against him. Now that he returned, he carried himself with surprising humility. "Marvin, let's skip the small talk. You've been here in Jayrodale long enough. Come to Blumedale." Andrew got straight to the point. Marvin's hand froze while pouring tea, unable to believe what he heard. "Mr. Lloyd, you…" He quickly stopped himself and waved his hand, shooing away all the other people out of the room. Then, he turned to Andrew, his voice trembling with excitement. "Mr. Lloyd, are you planning to reveal your identity and directly confront those in Chetvine?" Andrew nodded calmly. "Yes. The time has come. It's time I went back and faced it." Marvin's eyes filled with tears of joy. "Good, that's wonderful! In that case, staying here in Jayrodale would be pointless. Wherever you wan

    Agatha stamped her feet and exclaimed, "Times have changed! Back then, he was down and out, a nobody. Who could have known he'd become this powerful?" Rowan said gloomily, "Grandma, let's go back! He's already been generous enough, providing us with so much support! Asking for more would be shameless of us. After all, we're outsiders!" Agatha snorted, "Outsiders, my ass! I brought you here because I wanted you two to get close! But he hasn't paid us any attention since returning to Blumedale. It seems he doesn't take the Onyx Serpents, or you, seriously at all!" She added, "Rowan, you're so beautiful. Doesn't he have any feelings for you whatsoever?" Rowan gave a bitter smile and mocked herself. "Who knows what he thinks. Besides, I'm not even that pretty! If I were beautiful, he wouldn't have returned without glancing my way!" If this had been the old Rowan, she would have been proud and would not have cared whether Andrew paid attention to her or not. However, the Onyx

    Two thunderous blasts erupted like muffled explosions between Gustavo and Andrew. Their palms had not even touched, yet the force from their strikes collided midair. The silence that followed was louder than the sound itself. Andrew slowly withdrew his hands and stood with them clasped behind his back, staring coldly at Gustavo. Meanwhile, Gustavo let out a muffled grunt as a trickle of blood ran down from the corner of his mouth. "The technique you just used… It was Inferno Strike, wasn't it?" Looking at Andrew, his expression was filled with bitter anguish. Andrew replied indifferently, "That's right. It was indeed Inferno Strike! Mr. Fischer Senior, do you really think there’s any point in continuing this fight?" Gustavo fell silent. The silence stretched on until finally, he bowed his head slightly and spoke hoarsely. "If we keep fighting, I’ll only die under your hands. With a Heavenly-tier martial art and your unparalleled talent, I admit defeat." The moment those wo

    At first, there was Lucian, then Henry. Now, Gustavo had appeared. With three martial saints backing them, it was no wonder the Fischer family had always been an evergreen powerhouse among the Three Titans. From this alone, the Fischer family's overall strength probably even surpassed the Phelan family. As for the original Driscoll family, they could not even begin to compare with the Fischer family. The moment Gustavo appeared, he pulled out medicinal pills and frantically stuffed them into Lucian's mouth. At the same time, he quickly moved to seal Lucian's pressure points, stopping the bleeding from his injuries. The more Gustavo treated Lucian, the uglier his expression became. Lucian was the acting head of the Fischer family and the most talented fighter of his generation. Yet now, he was so severely injured that countless meridians were severed. Without question, this would definitely affect his martial arts future. However, that was not all. If Gustavo had not arri
