Chapter 203

Author: Only For You
Christina was clearly affected by Andrew's words, but she said nothing. Over the past few days, she had felt increasingly uneasy as Harvey's true nature began to emerge.

After all, it was vastly different from the gentleman and promising young man she thought she knew. Even so, her pride would not allow her to admit to Andrew that she had misjudged someone so completely.

Finally, the night of the auction arrived. By 8 p.m., luxury cars filled the parking lot of the Radiant Group building as Jayrodale's elite gathered for the event.

Among them were Michael and Harvey, both dressed in impeccable suits and projecting an air of elegance, with stunning women in their arms.

"Harvey, long time no see! You look like you're living the high life—definitely more comfortable than I am!" Michael spoke first, casually glancing at Christina, who was standing next to Harvey.

He had long admired Jayrodale's "Ice Queen CEO" himself, and though she was truly flawless in every way, he could on

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1586

    Fortunately, Andrew had bet correctly. The collapse of the underground palace had not affected the underground river, and the rushing current still carried him and everyone else through a life-and-death underwater swim before bringing them outside the mountain. Everyone was gasping for air. "The sun! I can see the sun! We made it out alive! We escaped with our lives!" Logan laughed heartily. The sheer relief of surviving sent a wave of relief through everyone's tense body. Andrew was the first to climb onto the riverbank. One by one, he reached down and helped Tiana, Chantelle, Natasha, and Jerry up. Logan waved his hand and laughed, "It's okay, Andy, I can get up by myself. You should rest!" Andrew chuckled and plopped down on the ground, relaxing his entire body. Beside him lay the golden teak safe. He still had not had a chance to open it and see what the Elixir of Immortality looked like. Tiana, Natasha, and Logan were all taking inventory of their gains. Although ev

    Just as the group turned back, a swarm of Blood Ghouls burst through the tomb's main entrance. Logan and the others froze, eyes wide with terror. The creatures wasted no time, launching straight into a frenzied massacre. There had to be hundreds of them, and they were tearing into anything that moved. The Driscolls' guards, who had been focused on rescuing Rafael, were completely blindsided. The Blood Ghouls plowed into them like a tidal wave, shredding through their formation and sending bodies flying amid blood-curdling screams. Gunfire exploded in every direction, turning the tomb into a warzone. Meanwhile, Rafael—still tangled in the Night Hag's hair—was dragged slowly toward her ghoulish face. "No! I don't want to die! Please, no!" His scream echoed across the chamber. The black strands wrapped tighter, layer after layer, until his fat body was completely mummified by the living hair. From within the cocoon came the sickening sound of bones being crushed, enough to

    Chantelle's eyes were blazing as she asked, "I wonder if I might finally have the honor of formally meeting the Dragon Prince?" Andrew looked around and replied, "What Dragon Prince? I don't know him and have never seen him! If you're looking for someone like that, go ask someone else—it's got nothing to do with me!" Chantelle was both exasperated and amused. "Mr. Lloyd, don't even try to deny it, I—" Before she could finish her sentence, the underground palace suddenly shook violently. Andrew's expression changed as he turned toward the massive bronze doors that had been pushed open. In the next instant, a flood of men in black suits, all heavily armed, stormed inside. Two neat rows of gunmen—over 100 strong—immediately surrounded Andrew and the others. A man in polished dress shoes stepped in with a smug grin that did not reach his eyes. "Well now, what a grand harvest." He shouted, "Mr. Driscoll, we've come to pick you up!" To everyone's shock, Rafael, who had been

    A figure suddenly burst out from behind the throne. "You damn fraud, I'm going to kill you!" Andrew and the others were startled and looked over—it was actually Logan, who had done nothing throughout this entire ordeal. He looked a mess, covered in dust and fuming with rage. Andrew leaped to the lakeside and strode toward him. "Logan, where the hell did you go?" Wiping sweat from his face, Logan pointed furiously at the puppet. "That filthy old scumbag tricked me! That's where I've been! I barely made it back in time!" He pulled back part of the puppet's torso as he spoke and yanked hard. To everyone's shock, a body came tumbling out from inside. Chantelle gasped. "Mr. Veyne?" Tiana's eyes blazed. "Wait—so you're saying that cranky old scammer has been pretending to be the Little Emperor this whole time?" She looked ready to lay into Magnus right there. Andrew quickly stepped in, his expression tense. "Mrs. Rhodes, don't hit him! There's no way that was a person in disg

    Andrew mocked, "A century-old or not, I'll still kill you today!" Murderous intent erupted from his chest, and he raised his fist and met Stanley in another airborne clash. Stanley tried to use the recoil to twist away and make a break for the Elixir of Immortality. However, Andrew did not even need to reset his footing—he pushed off the ground and shot upward. In an instant, he vaulted above Stanley. Then, with brutal force, he drove his knee down toward him. At the same time, he grabbed the last remaining wooden pillar in the ruined pavilion and yanked it free. With a sickening thud, he slammed it against Stanley's head. Blood sprayed in every direction as the pillar exploded into splinters, and Stanley's spine snapped under the crushing impact of Andrew's knee. He coughed up a thick stream of dark, almost black blood before crashing hard into the ruined pavilion, barely clinging to life. "No!" Stanley let out a desperate, ragged scream—a dying howl of disbelief and rage.

    "S-Stanley is actually scared?" Tiana, Chantelle, and the other onlookers were completely stunned. Chantelle muttered, "Blood-Eyed Black Dragon Mark… the Lloyd royal bloodline… Andrew Lloyd… So, he was hiding his true identity all this time? Dragon Prince… Isn't that the same name that triggered the uprising in Chetvine years ago?" She gasped, realizing a man straight out of legend was standing right in front of them. As she stared at Andrew's side profile, Chantelle felt a strange mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity. She had always known he was powerful, and clearly not just an ordinary man, but she had never imagined his true identity would be this mind-blowing. Thinking back to their passionate encounter by the hot springs during this trip, and remembering their first meeting and all their past interactions, Chantelle felt like she was living in a dream. "Stanley, as long as I'm here, you won't get so much as a whiff of the Elixir of Immortality!" With a cold snort,
