Rising from the Ashes의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1941 - 챕터 1950

Andrew immediately understood what Victoria meant. "Indeed, with my current connections and various relationships, I've definitely grown powerful here in Blumedale!" On the Wright family side, Andrew controlled things remotely through Yara. The Keller family could be considered completely under his influence. As for the Goldings, while they were not exactly close, the tension from before had vanished now that his power had grown. Most grudges in this world, truthfully, were easy to resolve. As long as you were strong enough, people would come around smiling, saying stuff like, "Let bygones be bygones." Among the Five Apex Families, the remaining Haywoods were Andrew's mortal enemies. However, Andrew had reached a point where he did not even take them seriously anymore. In Gabo Creek, there were several major powers: the Three Titans and Derek. Andrew's relationship with Derek was out in the open. At least, Derek already knew his identity as the Dragon Prince of the Lloyds.

Liliana stayed completely silent the entire ride up to the cathedral, not saying a single word. Andrew did not care how she felt. Besides, he was not in the mood to bother figuring it out. Once they got out of the car, he casually looked around. Though the air was cold, the sun was shining, casting a warm glow that made the chill more bearable. However, the breeze up at the summit was strong, and Andrew reminded Victoria to keep warm. "Come on," Victoria said as she linked arms with him. "Let me introduce you to the abbot here." Andrew felt a bit awkward, but he did not pull away. Behind them, Calvin and Miles exchanged glances. Miles gave a wry smile and said, "Mom really likes Andrew… but it's more like an elder admiring a junior, that's all." Calvin scoffed. "You're pathetic. You and Liliana both. He's an outsider, yet he's more well-liked than you two. I really don't know how you can stand it." Miles shrugged. "Honestly, I think Andrew is a great role model. Ther

"Praise the Eternal Eclipse." At that moment, a religious chant rang out. Matthias, the plump, fair-faced abbot, finally took his seat. "Mrs. Peck, please calm yourself." Victoria's expression gradually relaxed. "Sorry, Abbot Graves. I didn't mean to cause a scene." After speaking, she lowered her head and began eating the vegetarian meal. She served food to Andrew, Liliana, and Miles. Liliana stuck out her tongue and whispered to Andrew, "That's just how it is. When my dad drinks, he gets really nasty. But as soon as my mom gets angry, he doesn't dare act up!" Andrew did not comment. To him, Calvin was pathetic. Without Victoria, Andrew would have killed him long ago. Back in Goldridge, he had already thought about putting this waste of space down. After a few minutes of eating, Victoria set down her spoon and said, "Abbot Graves, I have a request. I want to help Andrew become King of Gabo Creek. Right now, we just need one powerful figure to support us. So I'd like to

Victoria's expression suddenly turned feral, like a lioness ready to strike. "Miles, Liliana… Get behind me. Even if I die today, I will make sure you walk away unharmed. Andrew, I give you my word. I won't let anything happen to you here." Seeing the resolve in her eyes, Andrew felt a sudden rush of dread. "Victoria, you don't have to…" She raised a hand, cutting him off. "Foolish boy, there's nothing more to say. I brought you here today, never expecting betrayal from the one I thought least capable of it. I misjudged him, and for that, I'm sorry. But believe me… These dogs, even together, are nothing to me." A wave of icy killing intent surged from her body, filling the room like a winter storm. Matthias, the so-called number one martial artist in Gabo Creek, frowned and stepped back again. He raised his voice toward the Driscoll side. "Ms. Driscoll, Mr. Burke… be careful. Victoria's Silent Nine strikes are not to be underestimated." Victoria smirked, her hair lifting slig

Walter screamed loudly, knowing that he absolutely could not drop the ball at this moment. Although Victoria had sent him flying and he had suffered internal injuries, his fighting ability was far from depleted. He charged back in from outside, joining Scarlett in close combat against Andrew. Now, Andrew was facing three Driscoll family powerhouses alone, completely seeing red. Meanwhile, Victoria had delivered a flawless first response. She injured Walter and forced Matthias back. Finally, she was facing off one-on-one with Matthias. "Victoria, you've forced me into this," Matthias said darkly. The gentle face was long gone, replaced by pure savagery. Victoria let out a mocking laugh. "Hypocrite! Make your move. Let me see whether Gabo Creek's top martial artist has improved or declined over the years!" Matthias roared, his red robes billowing behind him. Tremendous energy burst from his body as both hands created afterimages, striking toward Victoria. Victoria gave no
