Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 834

Chapter 834

Christina snapped. “The facts are right before us–how is it not? If you didn’t pull the strings, why are all these people targeting the main Stevens family?”

Andrew let out a mocking smirk. “Christina, you’re underestimating me. I don’t need to manipulate anyone- understand? I ordered them directly. That’s not the same as manipulation.”

Christina’s face stiffened. Direct orders? Was he seriously claiming he had the authority to command Marvin and Radiant Group’s people?

She did not believe it.

Nonetheless, Andrew did not care whether she believed it or not.

He turned to Zephyr and gestured. “Zephyr, I’ll make this simple. Give me an answer—if I’m satisfied, you and your family can leave. But if I’m not satisfied, you’re not returning to Bridgefields.”

Zephyr let out a bitter laugh, his anger barely contained. “Andrew, you injured Aspen and humiliated my family. Now you want me to give you an answer? Do you think that’s possible?”

Andrew remained calm. “You should ask your precious daughter what really happened. Your family is in this position because of your own actions–you brought this on yourselves. But I’ll give you one last chance. Show me the right attitude. Otherwise, you and every last one of your people will stay here.”

Zephyr roared, “Andrew, do you think I fear you? Even if you have the advantage in timing, location, and

numbers, I’d like to see what you can do for me!”

Andrew chuckled. “Mr. Zephyr, you’ve got some guts. Guess I wasted my breath on you.”

Turning to Dylan, Natasha, and the others, Andrew asked, “Who was it that said they’d bring me their head if any Stevens family members were still standing after three minutes?”

Rodney laughed awkwardly. “That was me… I was just showing off.”

Andrew nodded. “Two minutes. I’ll give you two minutes.”

With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and casually walked out of the hall. Immediately after, Natasha and Dylan struck first, launching a direct attack on Zephyr

Rodney and Marvin’s top fighter charged at the two Stevens family senior grandmasters. However, Rodney was not strong enough to handle a senior grandmaster–he was sent flying with a single move.

Natasha ordered in a cold tone, “Mr. Rodney, work with Dylan and gang up on Zephyr. I’ll deal with your opponent myself.”
