Chapter 1438

Penulis: Only For You
In a crumbling warehouse on the outskirts of town, Rafael, Mosby, and Black Viper stood grinning as if they had already won. Tied up tightly in front of them, Aspen was bound hand and foot, unable to move an inch.

Black Viper sneered. "She's got some fight in her. Almost landed a hit on me when we caught her."

As he spoke, he hooked a finger under Aspen's chin and lifted her face in a vulgar gesture.

Aspen tried to turn her head away, but his grip tightened, making her jaw turn red from the pressure.

"Let her go," Mosby said with a frown.

Black Viper scoffed. "What's the matter, Mosby? Feeling soft for her now?"

Mosby shook his head. "It's not about pity. I just don't want you pushing Andrew too far. Our goal is to get the map fragments. Once we have them, we let her go."

Black Viper's eyes burned with hatred. "Let her go? You really are naive, Mosby. My beloved junior, White Viper, died because of that bastard Andrew. When Mr. Driscoll gets what he wants, you two can lea

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1924

    Eric remained silent for a moment. He looked at the three ladies, but finally fixed his gaze on Andrew's face. "You call her Shiloh, right? Dad once mentioned that there was an extraordinary woman in the northern and southern martial arts communities of Holtrien. And funny enough, her name was also Shiloh. "But that's just her first name, and her surname is the extremely rare Greene. You probably don't know much about Holtrien's old martial clans, but the Greene family? It wasn't just rare. It was feared." Aspen turned into a curious little detective, "Sounds like it has deep roots and is really powerful. Mr. Humphrey, you're the foster son of Mr. Thornton, so you're very familiar with martial arts affairs. "What's the big deal with the Greene family? Are they like Eastonia's Maelstrom Bloodline? Total monsters, right?" Francesca facepalmed. "Aspen, can you not jump topics like that? The Maelstrom Bloodline is from a movie. What, you think we're in a superhero multiverse?"

    Joe argued, "How exactly did I lie to Shiloh? While you were gone these past few days, I drove her to and from work every single day. She went with me willingly. If you don't believe me, go ask your people." Andrew's face turned cold as he immediately looked over at Dylan and Natasha. Natasha blinked innocently, shrank back, and whispered, "Darling, he's not lying at all. Shiloh's been riding with him lately. She actually looks pretty happy about it." Andrew fell silent. Joe snorted and strode off toward the front yard of Serenity Villa, a faintly smug expression tugging at his lips. Shiloh was already waiting for him, waving him over impatiently. "Joe, what took you so long? Hurry up! If I'm late, I'm going to knock your head!" Joe quickly apologized, "Master Shiloh, I got held up by a bad guy. That's why I'm running late." Their voices faded into the distance, but Shiloh's words still carried over. "You're talking about Andrew, aren't you? Ignore him. You're my apprenti

    The cold morning wind was sharp and biting. Behind Serenity Villa, Andrew was back to his usual routine, leading his five top students through morning drills and martial arts training. Only today, there was one extra face in the lineup: Eric. This pampered brat usually slept in like a hibernating bear, refusing to get up before noon. Unfortunately for him, he was now in Andrew's hands. "Join the workout. It'll be good for your health," Andrew said casually. "No thanks. You guys knock yourselves out. I don't need this," Eric replied flatly. "Eric, I wasn't asking for your opinion. I'm telling you to do as I say," Andrew said with no room for negotiation. "And I'm telling you, Andrew, I don't need you hovering over my life. Do me a favor: get out and close the door on your way." Two muffled thuds echoed, followed by the sound of the bed crashing. Eric came down a few minutes later, face grim and lip bruised. He was clearly there not by choice, joining the group in the fre

    Scarlett growled, "Henry held his ground with the strength of a martial saint, so he managed to protect himself until backup arrived. But I wasn't that lucky. Facing the Yeagers' elders, I couldn't even lift a hand in defense. If Edwin Pennyworth, the McCormick family's head butler, hadn't shown up at the last moment, I would've died right there." As she spoke, her face contorted with hatred. Maurice, Walter, and Bradley all fell into stunned silence. Scarlett had always been known as domineering and untouchable in Blumedale. She was one of the most feared figures in the Driscoll family, commanding half its power with absolute authority. Yet now, this 40-year-old woman sat with teary eyes. It was a pitiful sight, and hard to believe. "What about Henry?" Maurice finally asked after a long pause. "What happened to him in the end?" Scarlett gritted her teeth. "He was nearly killed by Victoria Sanchez from the Peck family. The two of them started fighting at the Yeager estate and

    Maurice personally stepped in, along with one of the Driscoll family's martial elders, Bradley Perkings, an expert at the peak of Martial King level. The two worked together, channeling their energy into Scarlett to stabilize her injuries. Only after a long while did Maurice withdraw his hand and exhale sharply, his expression dark and furious. Beside him, Bradley wiped the sweat from his brow and forced a bitter smile. "Sir, if we'd been just a moment later, Ms. Driscoll could've lost her cultivation base entirely. Our family hasn't faced a disaster this serious in years." Maurice said nothing. His face, already grim, was even more terrifying now. With a sudden roar, he thrust out his palm. A porcelain vase in the corner exploded with a loud crash, shattered into pieces by his strike from across the room. Walter flinched and bowed quickly. "Please, Mr. Driscoll Senior, don't lose your temper. This isn't the time to vent. Scarlett returned from Goldridge in critical condition

    Logan clenched his fists and said with conviction, "I knew it. Andrew would never let Dad down. Our family owes him more than we can ever repay." Freya bit her lip, and a faint blush crept up her cheeks. She suddenly remembered the time she offered herself to Andrew as a thank-you, back when she begged him for help. The memories of every little moment since she met him rushed through her mind, flooding her thoughts. She lowered her head and murmured so softly it was barely audible, "Maybe… being his woman wouldn't be so bad. At least, he's someone I can feel safe with. Someone I could actually rely on. But how do I get him to like me? The more I think about it, the more it seems like the only way to really connect… is by sleeping with him…" Among the Keller sisters, Andrew could have chosen any of them. But now, it was clear that Emily and Hannah did not catch his eye at all. Only Freya still had a decent rapport with him. If she could end up with Andrew, it would be a win for
