Chapter 22

Author: Only For You
Right at the last second, a cold voice suddenly commanded, "Get away from her!"

Baldy's hand had just begun to swing when a powerful force struck his back. Before he could even grunt, he was sent flying by a kick, landing motionless on the ground.

Christina stared in disbelief at Andrew, who had suddenly appeared behind Baldy. Andrew's eyes were frighteningly cold, as if ready to kill.

"W-Why did you come back?" Christina stammered, surprised. She had thought Andrew had left, disappointed that he seemed even more cowardly than Shawn.

"Should I have let them take you and have their way with you?" Andrew snapped, giving the thoughtless woman a stern look.

Christina froze, feeling Andrew was being too aggressive. "Andrew, I know I misunderstood you, but you're—"

Before she could finish her sentence, Baldy roared, "Get him! Kill that bastard!"

A dozen thugs in black clothes immediately surrounded Andrew, some even pulling out weapons.

Shawn was secretly delighted and though

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 2950

    Franz reassured Andrew. "Don't overthink it. Juno is the most level-headed member of our team. She's always wanted to secure a place and obtain citizenship in the Church of Light's territory. "That's why she's been working hard and saving money all these years. I believe she's close to her goal. Reginald even helped her negotiate with a bishop from the Church of Light. They didn't get an immediate response, but it seems promising. "You know Juno... She's a real Outlands mercenary, born and raised, spending her entire life crawling through danger and killing."Andrew quickly nodded. "I completely respect Juno's wishes."The unspoken rule in the Outlands was harsh for mercenaries. They were typically considered dirty and disposable. Factions would use them when convenient and discard them just as easily, sometimes even eliminating them without a second thought. Many mercenaries, despite accumulating vast wealth and making countless sacrifices, would never achieve a peaceful retir

    Juno said coldly, "With Mr. Lloyd Senior gone, our only option is to continue working as mercenaries."Petra scratched his head, looking lost. "I don't know what to do without him guiding us. Before, we always did exactly what he told us. Now, I'm completely at a loss. Maybe staying here or finding a place without war to spend the rest of our lives is the best choice."Franz, the second-in-command and oldest member, looked at Andrew and said, "I partially understand what you're saying. But I don't think it's realistic. The war in the Outlands isn't just a gang conflict; it's a battle involving major factions and entire military units. People are going to die."Dragonfang is exceptional in individual combat, and we'd hold our own even against the vampire royal guards. But we're too few in number. We can coordinate for smaller skirmishes, but challenging the current storm would be suicide."Andrew smiled. "Mr. Hearst, you're absolutely right. That's why we can't confront the other fa

    Andrew said, "But there is no need for us to cooperate with the other factions at all. Wyrmhelm, the Dark Clans, and even the Church are all acting with hidden motives. If you're not careful, you could easily be set up or betrayed."Reginald laughed, and a powerful presence burst from him, carrying the aura of a seasoned warlord. "Andy, don't underestimate me. I may not be a match for the Veiled Faction, but with all these forces gathered in the Outlands right now? There is honestly no one I am afraid of."He then changed the subject. "Oh, right. You know about Nyx's background. Her talent is on par with Sheena's, so you need to treat her well. I admit I had selfish reasons. Training her was partly a matter of conscience and humanity. But if she could become your ally and support, that would be ideal."He added with a knowing smile, "Nyx is a lady who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. If you treat her right, she'll never leave your side."Andrew felt uncomfortable with

    Andrew locked himself in his room for an entire night. He only emerged the next afternoon.The Dragonfang headquarters felt heavy with grief. Every member looked silent and dejected. Even Knox, usually the most energetic, sat dejectedly in a corner, staring blankly into space.Andrew pushed the door open. The others glanced at him, then quickly looked away. No one spoke.Andrew frowned, noticing Nyx's absence. He climbed to the second floor, where Reginald's personal space was located.Reginald was already packed and ready. Seeing Andrew, he smiled and said, "Andrew, it's time for us to say goodbye. Take care of Dragonfang for me."Surprised, Andrew asked, "Dad, what do you mean?"Reginald gestured for Andrew to sit. "Dragonfang was a foundation I built for you. If you can't lead the organization, I'll disband the team. But it seems everyone is satisfied with you. I'm proud that my son has proven himself."Andrew cut to the chase. "I don't want Dragonfang. I want to know what yo

    Reginald said, "A lifetime of regret and pain is truly unbearable. Back then, I was foolish and unaware, treating everything as ordinary. I have already done right by Holtrien during all these years overseas. So what I do next must be something I owe to myself."He continued, "I will find the Veiled Paradise and enter it. Whether I live or die will be left to fate. I will give everything I have to confirm one last time whether Eleanor is truly alive."Nyx's heart skipped, and she asked instinctively, "What if she is really gone? What if all your efforts over these years were for nothing?"Reginald smiled. "Then you will help me take care of Andrew, all right?"Tears instantly welled up in Nyx's eyes. "No… Please don't say things like that! When my parents died, they said the same thing and asked me to take care of my younger brother. But in the end, my parents were gone, my brother died too, and I was left alone in this world, barely able to live."If not for you taking me in, tea

    Reginald said, "Andrew, you can blame me, even hate me, because I failed to protect your mom. But I must tell you the truth: Eleanor most likely did not survive."Andrew's mind buzzed, and in an instant, everything went blank. "What did you say?"His voice trembled.All along, Reginald had been telling him that Eleanor was still alive. He had never expected such a revelation.Reginald lowered his head, slowly shaking it. "Andrew, I'm so sorry. I left Holtrien many years ago. Initially, it was because of a mission, with my heart focused solely on my country. But later, tracking down the entrance to the Veiled Paradise and finding the last hidden small world became an obsession. I had to ask the people of the Veiled Paradise why they did what they did, and if it was truly unforgivable for Eleanor to be with me…"He continued, "Andrew, remember this: the people of the Veiled Paradise were not actually strong enough to take your mother away. She was forced to leave to conceal your exi
