Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1885

Andrew did not dare stay at the Yeager estate any longer. After saying everything he needed to say, he immediately got up and quickly returned to the villa on Mount Zircon.

To his surprise, Matthew actually sent someone to escort him part of the way. Of course, it was not out of kindness, but because Andrew had just handed the Yeagers a piece of intel that could determine life or death.

At this point, both sides were stuck on the same sinking ship. If they did not paddle together, Henry would drown them all.

Andrew quietly slipped back into the villa. He climbed in through the window and made his way toward the couch, where he was usually hypnotized, ready to play dumb and act like he had never left.

He had only been gone for less than an hour. Judging by how busy Henry had been lately, he was not likely to be back so soon. As for Eric, he usually spent his days lying around like a hibernating bear.

However, just as Andrew tiptoed toward the living room, he spotted a familiar silhouette.

Someone in a teal robe WAS sitting on the couch with his back to the balcony.

It was Eric!

'Crap!' Andrew silently cursed, his eyes widening in alarm. This was not good.

It did not matter when Eric came downstairs. What mattered was that he had, and he would have noticed Andrew was gone. In other words, his cover was likely blown.

Eric slowly turned his head toward the balcony.

Andrew steeled himself. There was no turning back now. He strode in boldly, ready to take Eric down the second he got close enough and drag him out by force.

Besides, the Yeagers could not afford to wait any longer.

"No command… Yet you came back anyway. Even chose the balcony to sneak in and stay hidden. Seems like my hypnosis skills have taken another leap forward," Eric said with a satisfied smile. "Andrew, you'll be the finest masterpiece under my supreme hypnosis!"

Andrew almost could not keep his expression steady. This crazy bastard thought his going out and coming back was the result of his technique?
