Chapter 397

Author: Only For You
Natasha trembled but stood her ground. "Andrew, I know I'm no match for you, but I'm not someone to be trifled with either. You at least owe me some compensation."

"What do you want?" Andrew asked with an amused smile.

"I'm not greedy—just give me some of that medicine," Natasha said, her eyes lighting up as she held out her hand.

Andrew chuckled and tossed her a small vial. "You say you're not greedy, yet you ask for something money can't buy."

Natasha's face lit up with delight as she examined the vial's contents. "Well, at least you have some conscience," she said, carefully tucking it away.

Her eyes roamed over Andrew's form as her cheeks flushed. "I have one last request. If you agree, then I'll be yours forever."

"Let's hear it," Andrew said with a laugh, "but I'm warning you—nothing excessive!"

Natasha stepped closer until she was nearly pressed against him and whispered, "Andrew, I want to be your woman. I've never submitted to many men, but you're different. Take

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1568

    Stanley's eyes locked onto the golden teakwood safe, his gaze burning with obsession. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity. There's only one thing I want—the Elixir of Immortality you were buried with, the one meant to accompany you to the afterlife. With it, I can live another 100 or even 200 years!" The term Elixir of Immortality hit the others like a truck. It was not just Rafael and Mosby who reacted—Andrew and Chantelle froze too. An elixir that could extend life by a century or two? Did something that fantastical really exist? Could it be that within the treasures of the Fallen Crimson Dynasty's royal tomb, even mythical artifacts like that were real? "Stanley!" the puppet's voice rang out, now anxious and thunderous. "You may have any treasure, but not the elixir. That belongs to me. I cannot give it to you!" Stanley let out a bitter smile. "Your Majesty, I was your closest friend in childhood—the one who never stopped thinking about you. You'd really l

    Rafael stared blankly. "Mr. O'Higgins, w-what nonsense are you even saying?" Stanley shook his head and barked, "Watch your mouth! Who gave you the guts to question me? I'm not making anything up. It all began over 100 years ago when I was just seven! "You see him, the emperor on the golden throne? He was also seven back then. We met for the first time that year and instantly became best friends. All these years, I've thought constantly about returning to that palace to find him. "But I knew I could never go back. So, I spent enormous effort and half my lifetime searching until I found this place." Stanley's voice carried incomparable excitement and ecstatic joy. Struggling, he tumbled down from his wheelchair. When his subordinates tried to help him up, he pushed them away. Under everyone's disbelieving gaze, the frail, withered man dropped to his knees. He straightened his robes, then lowered himself, face to the floor, offering a full bow. "Long live the Emperor! Long

    Instead, he was an old man sitting in a wheelchair, drowsy and nearly bald, looking like he could kick the bucket at any moment. "Once the doors are broken… then the geomancy layout inside will be disrupted! At that time, we can… plunder freely!" After saying just two sentences, he was gasping for breath. Andrew and Chantelle, hiding behind an artificial rock formation, looked at each other in bewilderment. "Why does Stanley suddenly look like a frail old corpse?" Chantelle whispered, stunned. "He looks like he's over a hundred years old." Andrew frowned. "This old man is far from simple—even Mosby and Rafael listen to him. And he seems incredibly familiar with this Fallen Crimson Dynasty underground palace! The reason Rafael and his crew were able to get in here, as well as the identity of who's buried in this palace, all came from him." Andrew had his suspicions about why Stanley now appeared so frail and aged. He had likely previously used advanced disguise technique

    "This belongs to the people of Holtrien. It's the legacy of our ancestors," Andrew said coldly. "At the very least, these treasures and everything they built are still on Holtrien soil." Chantelle nodded. "You're right, Mr. Lloyd. Too much of our heritage has already been stolen by shameless foreigners. And now, Rafael is actually teaming up with Stanley, that outsider. It's infuriating—he should be ashamed of himself!" Andrew's voice turned ice-cold. "As long as I'm still breathing, Stanley's not stealing a damn thing from this place." Using the scattered ruins and pillars for cover, Andrew crept closer to the grand entrance of the tomb. His priority was clear—rescue the hostages first. Just then, another violent blast ripped through the tomb. The two bronze doors trembled on their hinges. While the explosives had not destroyed the gates outright, the surrounding stone walls were beginning to crack and crumble. "Once we blow this thing open, the whole tomb will be ours to

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1564

    A breathtaking underground palace lay before Andrew and Chantelle's eyes. This palace, which could definitely be confirmed as the burial place of the Fallen Crimson Dynasty's royalty, was almost as large as the plaza above ground. In other words, this underground palace was the size of two football fields. The palace's layout strictly followed the most orthodox central axis design of ancient royalty. It was a complete replica of an ancient emperor's palace. However, this underground palace also contained many fantastical murals. For instance, skies with lightning and thunder, and classic Torasesy scenes of immortals riding the wind were all vividly and realistically painted on the palace's dome. On the ground level, the Tree of Eternal Life was cast in gold, towering over ten meters high. A single glance was enough to strike the soul with its overwhelming majesty—a treasure beyond mortal measure. On both sides of the central axis stood life-sized warrior statues and scaled-

    Even though it was pitch dark underground, Andrew's vision was sharper than most. He could just make out Axel stumbling backward, peeking around the corner with panic all over his face. He muttered something in a native dialect—probably a curse or two. A second later, Andrew understood exactly what he was running from. Thick clumps of black hair appeared at the far end of the corridor. Clinging to the ceiling with all four limbs, the Night Hag slowly crept into view, its grotesque face twisted upside down. Chantelle was most terrified of this ghostly creature. She was even more panicked than when they encountered that Dire Tiger. Andrew grabbed her hand and pulled her into the shadows, holding perfectly still. Night Hags had no real sense of time. If nothing drew its attention, it could just stay frozen in place for ten or twenty years, even longer. After all, in this tomb, time seemed to stand still. However, Andrew began to grow anxious. They could not just sit there, wai
