Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1876

The Yeagers' front gate flew a dozen meters through the air with a single kick, crashing to the ground as the entire compound was thrown into chaos.

Led by Matthew, over a hundred Yeager family members poured out in full force.

Holding back his rage, he growled, "Mr. Fischer, so you really showed up with your people! While you might be able to make other families and gangs submit, we are not spineless like them!"

Henry crossed his arms and leaned against the car hood, "Whether the Yeagers are spineless or not doesn't matter. What matters is whether the Yeagers know their place and understand how to go with the flow!"

Matthew pointed at him and shouted, "Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to show up here and throw your weight around? The Yeagers have stood strong in Goldridge for over a century.

"Since when do guys like you get to come here and act tough? When Mr. Thornton was still in charge, he treated us with respect! But now that you power-hungry vultures are taking over, it's all about purging dissenters and enforcing submission! We would rather die than become your lapdogs!"

The Yeager guards formed battle lines, each glaring fiercely and showing no fear.

Henry's expression darkened. "You should know that Jerome's era is over! Even the mayor and official authorities have accepted that the Southern Martial Union has a new leader. Why cling to the past and tie yourselves to a sinking ship?"

Matthew spat on the ground, full of contempt. "Let's be real. You're just a Fischer from Gabo Creek. Even if, by some miracle, you really became the Union's new leader, the Yeagers would never acknowledge you."

The Yeagers had long been a major force in Goldridge, and their family boasted martial saints among their ranks.

Henry, after all, was still an outsider. Even though the Fischer family from Gabo Creek had power, they still paled in comparison to the Yeagers when it came to local influence.

That was why Matthew was so angry and contemptuous about Henry showing up at their door.

Henry's face flushed red as he snarled, "Since the Yeagers don't know what's good for them, you leave me with no other choice!"

With his command, Alex and the others charged directly into the compound.
