Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1031

Aspen could only imagine how terrifying Andrew's real identity was.

Everyone knew that Holtrien had no shortage of prodigies, but those who made it onto the Titan List were monsters in human form—true legends among legends.

Take Aspen, for example. In her hometown of Bridgefields, she was the pride of the city, admired by everyone. Yet, not a single person from Bridgefields had ever qualified for the Titan List.

Even the Underworld Index only had at most two names from there, and they were way at the bottom.

Andrew stood up and said, "Alright then, I should head back and get some rest. Thanks for the hospitality, by the way."

Zachary stood up right after him, eyes blazing with passion. "Come back with us. Let's rise again together. Once the old crew hears you're back, they'll drop everything and come running!"

Andrew chuckled and replied, "Don't exaggerate. I'm just a regular guy, just trying to live a simple, quiet life. All that talk about fighting and war? I'm not into that anymore."

He patted Aspen on the head, hinting at her to snap out of her daze and hurry up.

Zachary shifted to block Andrew's way, his expression deep and serious. "General, your stage is not this tiny corner of the world. You were the most monstrous genius in the entire organization. How could you let that talent go to waste?"

Andrew replied flatly, "From now on, just call me Mr. Lloyd—or Andrew is fine, too. Anything else, I don't want to hear again. Got it? This is the last time."

With that, he turned and walked off with Aspen.
