Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198 Andrews slap sent Finley flying , causing the latter to howl in pain .

Finley clutched his face as blood mixed with shattered teeth sprayed across the floor .

Yet , it was not the searing pain in his mouth that stung the most it was the sheer audacity of this nobody daring to strike him , fully aware of his connections .

Did this guy have a death wish ? If you were a reasonable man , then even if you were just some street vendor , I wouldnt stor oop to hurting you , Andrew said calmly , watching Finley wail in pain as blood seeped through his fingers .

But since you wont listen to reason , I couldnt care less if youre from the mighty Hidden Dragons or their leader is your granduncle Ill do whatever I want .

+ His words werent particularly loud , but they carried an undeniable power that left Lauren and Francesca momentarily stunned .

They had not expected Andrew to resort to violence so quickly , leaving Finley crumpled on the ground , Eikely with a broken jaw .

How dare you hurt Mr.

Moore ! Youre dead ! shouted Finleys two attendants in unison .

They drew knives and lunged at Andrew , their movements precise and coordinated , clearly trained to ambush and incapacitate .

To Andrew , these martial artists were no different from common thugs .

With unbelievable speed , he dodged their daggers and delivered two more devastating slaps , sending them flying backward with agonized screams .

Andrew advanced coldly and struck again , leaving the attendants clutching their heads in agony as they collapsed in front of Finley .

I underestimated you , but this isnt over ! Finley snarled as he drew his sword with a metallic ring .

Andrews voice turned ice cold .

Make another move , and Ill kill you .

As Francesca had pointed out earlier , these martial sect members thrived on their connections and brute force , often ignoring the law .

Carrying a deadly weapon in the middle of the city was already a blatant act of defiance .

Nonetheless , Andrew was not one to back down .

If someone threatened to kill him , he had no problem striking first .

After all , he had killed sect members before .

Finley pointed his sword at Andrew with gritted teeth .

Youre lucky Mr.

Giordano showed up .

This isnt over , so you better watch your back ! After Atlass men escorted Finley and his injured attendants to a luxury car outside , Atlass expression darkened as his cold eyes swept over the three of them .

He turned to Lauren , and said menacingly , Ms.

Rhodes , youd better keep your boy toy in check .

Lauren replied icily , Mr.

Giordano , I dont understand what youre implying .
