Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1896

After leaving Goldridge, Andrew hit the road without pause, heading straight to find Chantelle.

Along the way, he sent quick check-in messages to Lauren, Francesca, and Aspen to let them know he was safe. Victoria had shown up at Goldridge at the perfect moment. Had she arrived a little later, he might have had to go head-to-head with Hidden Dragons and that old hag Grace.

Now, he just hoped Victoria would be alright over there. Then again, that worry felt unnecessary.

In the entire Holtrien's Southern Martial Union, across all the provinces, Victoria's reputation was legendary. In short, she was an extraordinary woman. Her martial arts prowess was as fierce as her beauty was stunning.

Since she dared enter Goldridge alone to settle accounts with Henry, this meant she did not consider any of the martial arts experts there worthy of her concern.

Meanwhile, Chantelle and Hank had been ordered to investigate the parasite poison in Gabo Creek. Scarlett orchestrated the parasite poison incident behind the scenes, but Andrew did not have time to notify Chantelle about it.

He was now heading south and checking the time; he estimated it would take another half day to reach Gabo Creek territory. Once he entered Gabo Creek territory, reaching the small county town where Chantelle was located would take several more hours.

So, Andrew slowed down and pulled into a rest stop. He planned to rest, eat, and refuel his car.

Just then, Eric woke up and glared furiously at him.

Andrew kept his head down, eating, not wanting to deal with him.

"Give me an explanation!" Eric sat across from Andrew and said coldly.

Andrew took a bite of his boiled egg and looked up. "Explain what? Eat something, then we'll get back on the road."

Eric glanced at the microwave meals in front of him, clearly disgusted, and snapped, "You sealed my acupoints? Unlock them now!"

Andrew put down his spoon, his eyes turning cold. "That's enough, Eric! You know what? I've put up with you for way too long! From the moment you betrayed Mr. Thornton, honestly, I wanted to kill you right then. But I knew that killing you would break Mr. Thornton's heart, because you're the only family and child he has left in this world!"
