Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1967

"Also, it's not a small amount either… It's over ten billion!" Andrew's expression remained as calm as still water as he stated this matter-of-factly.

Ronald snorted, "I can return the money exactly as it was."

Andrew waved his hand dismissively. "No need! I have a habit: money spent stays spent."

Ronald narrowed his eyes and sneered. "Andy, you're forcing me into a corner. Well, I have a rule too. Money's great, but life is more important. If I don't want to do something, no one can make me."

Andrew replied with detached calm, "Ronald, think about it again. In this world, there are some things you might not want to do, but you don't get a choice."

Ronald gave a harsh laugh. "Andrew, should I take that as a threat? Are you out of your mind? I'm the Dragon King of Blumedale's underworld, the Onyx Dragon King. If you're trying to play gangster games with me, you're in way over your head."

His anger flared up instantly. He could not believe that this punk actually dared to threaten him.

Did Andrew think he was some pushover?

Andrew's gaze hardened. "So what you're saying is, we're done talking?"

Ronald snorted, chin raised. "Sorry. I've got my own problems."

Andrew grew impatient. "Just tell me if we can talk this through or not."

Ronald exploded in frustration, "No! Screw this. You want to get yourself killed, and I'm not playing along. That's it!"

Andrew smiled. "Aaron, and everyone else, please step aside a bit."

Aaron was confused, not knowing what Andrew intended to do. Nonetheless, he instinctively stepped back two paces, moving away from Ronald.
