Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1986

Franklin hissed with venom. "But I seriously underestimated that damn that bitch Victoria! All these years, I've been lurking in the shadows while she appeared to be living quietly. To think that she's actually become even more vicious and dangerous than before…"

He added, "This move of hers was like pulling the rug out from under us. She managed to push you, me, and Joe right into the eye of the storm all at once."

Mia screamed like a woman possessed. "I told you years ago to kill that bitch, but you wouldn't listen. You were completely mesmerized by her! And for what? She never even wanted you.

"Now she wants both me and Joe dead. Franklin, bring back the ruthless spirit you had when you ruled the martial world. Make sure she's gone for good."

Franklin sneered. "Don't worry. Victoria's martial skills are finished. She's weak now and can't stir up trouble anymore. Maurice wants me to help Scarlett, using her as bait to lure Andrew in.

"He thinks he can use me as his muscle, his attack dog, to do his bidding. But I have my own plans, Mia. You might not know this, but the top-tier martial art, Inferno Strike, is in Andrew's hands."

Mia froze, then her eyes lit up with excitement. "Inferno Strike? A heavenly-tier technique? Franklin, you found it?"

Franklin nodded with a pleased grin. "That's right. I've dreamed of it for years, and now it's within reach. This technique is pure, scorching power. Mastering it would be enough to shake the entire world. But it's always been in Jerome's hands, and I couldn't challenge him without breaking my current limits. I could only watch. And now, Andrew has it. I'll take him down and force him to hand it over."

Mia nodded eagerly. "Yes, before you kill him, you must get Inferno Strike first. Then, you can pass it on to Joe."
