Chapter 565

Author: Only For You
On the stage, Cedric grabbed the microphone and spoke coldly, "Apologies to Dr. Lloyd and all the guests. I've come up here to announce something important. From this moment forward, my eldest apprentice, Simon Gaal, is expelled from my family and teachings!"

Gasps rippled through the crowd, followed by a flurry of heated discussions.

"Cedric just made a public announcement like that at Moonlit Apothecary's grand opening. The Aickers must have some serious internal conflict!"

"Simon is Cedric's top apprentice and is also a well-known figure in Jayrodale. What could have happened to make Cedric cast him out?"

"I've heard Simon's been infatuated with Francesca for years, but she's never been interested. Maybe that's the real reason Cedric lost his temper?"

After making his declaration, Cedric walked off the stage without giving further explanation. Francesca rushed over, clutching his arm with teary eyes.

"Grandpa, what happened? Why did you drive Simon away? What's going on?

  • Rising from the Ashes   Chapter 1556

    Chantelle scoffed "Mr. Lloyd, I never thought you were this kind of person." Andrew was getting irritated too. "What kind of person am I? I glanced at you once—not even on purpose—and you want to hit me?" Chantelle's eyes reddened as she bit back angrily, "I'm not talking about that! I'm talking about when we were underwater! Why did you risk your life like that? You shielded me from that hot spring water… Do you know you could have died?" This sudden outburst and accusation left Andrew completely bewildered. "Ms. Garcia, are you… crying?" Chantelle pulled her hand back, gritting her teeth, and raised it again to slap Andrew's face. Andrew thought that if she wanted to hit him, so be it. She had been through life and death with him, which could not have been easy. But surprisingly, the delicate hand stopped just in front of his face. What had been fierce aggression transformed into gentle tenderness mixed with careful concern as she softly caressed Andrew's cheek. "Mr. Llo

    Once his strength somewhat recovered, he dragged Chantelle to shore. After placing the heavy woman on a flat rock, Andrew had completely exhausted what little energy he had regained and collapsed beside the stone, falling into a deep sleep. Sleep was the most efficient way to restore his strength. Of course, it would be even better if he could eat first and then sleep, but unfortunately, they had lost everything. They had no food, flashlight, hunting knife, phone, or anything. Fortunately, the small bottle of pills he kept close to his body was still there, though Andrew was too exhausted to even think about them. During this deep sleep, Andrew felt like he was having an endless dream. In it, he seemed to return to his days in the military—gunfire and bullets, assassinations and more assassinations, blood, countless corpses, and such. The memories flooded his mind one after another, making him gasp heavily until he suddenly woke up. He looked beside him and cursed, "Damn i

    Fighting through the searing pain in his back, Andrew held Chantelle tight and dove toward the bottom of the river. The Desert Eagle was useless now, but fortunately, some unknown phosphorescent glow flickered faintly underwater, barely allowing him to see ahead. Chantelle's eyes were wide with terror as she tried to cry out underwater. She swallowed two huge gulps of water before quickly shutting her mouth and frantically gesturing to Andrew with her hands. Andrew knew what she was trying to ask, but now was not the time to worry about other problems. Two spots on his back burned with intense pain—those were the bullet wounds. Luckily, Andrew had maintained good body positioning when he jumped, avoiding any vital areas, so while he was shot, it did not affect his mobility. However, this could not continue for long. The blood loss alone could kill him, so they needed to reach dry land quickly to treat his wounds. Surfacing where they had jumped from was impossible because t

    Mosby said, "Honestly, we've been waiting here for quite a while! We wouldn't believe it if anyone else could find this place, but Andrew here is as cunning as a fox. I knew he'd show up eventually. "Andrew, how do you like this little trap we've set for you? Luring you into the jar and then catching you inside?" Andrew's smile gradually turned cold. "Honestly? Not impressed at all! Ms. Garcia, step aside—this is between me and them, it has nothing to do with you." Chantelle said anxiously, "But if I move away, you'll die!" Behind them was the source of the underground river, and their current position was on a cliff face hundreds of feet high. Andrew was truly trapped with no way to escape. Andrew said calmly, "My problems aren't your concern. Step aside. I want to see what these idiots can do to me!" Mosby raged, "Ms. Garcia, move aside right now, or we'll kill you too!" Rafael's face was ice-cold. "Ms. Garcia, this isn't Blumedale. We're hundreds of feet underground in

    Behind the bronze doors stood Rafael and his crew—the same people who had vanished without a trace since the treasure hunt began as if they had disappeared off the face of the earth. All dozen or so guns were foreign-made weapons, and at least half the faces belonged to foreigners with prominent noses, deep-set eyes, and night vision goggles. "Don't you dare move, Andrew, or these men will shoot!" Mosby stepped forward with a sinister grin, eyeing the Desert Eagle in Andrew's hand. Andrew casually tossed his Desert Eagle to the ground and chuckled. "Dr. Lake, Mr. Driscoll—what a coincidence running into you here." Mosby laughed coldly. "Coincidence? You're overthinking this, Andrew! Mr. Driscoll and I have been waiting here with our men for quite some time. The tomb treasure lies just below, but unfortunately, you'll never get to see it." Andrew shrugged nonchalantly. "There's plenty of treasure to go around; I'll just take a small share. I'm not greedy, so you can have the

    "Only the most magnificent royal tombs would have side doors or alternative entrances built into them," Andrew said. Kevin nodded. "That's exactly right. Royal burial grounds often took decades to complete. Emperor's tombs especially, would begin construction the day they took the throne. Some took up to 50 years to finish. "Because of this, they inevitably had to create multiple side doors and alternative entrances. This made it convenient for craftsmen to come and go and allowed the emperor or high-ranking officials to come down and inspect the progress themselves!" Chantelle asked curiously, "Wouldn't the emperor use the main entrance when visiting his own tomb?" Andrew shook his head. "The emperor would only go through the main entrance once—on the day he was buried. Every other time, he couldn't use the main door and had to use the side entrances instead." Kevin was getting impatient. "Come on, let's hurry up and climb to take a look." The nearly vertical cliff face co
