Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2030

Andrew said coldly, "That waste of space, Hank Armstrong. Is he under your command? I'm the one who crippled him. Not only did I cripple him, but I also want to kill him, so if you want to restore Special Ops' reputation, feel free to come find me."

He casually mentioned these final points with complete indifference.

Barnaby quickly shook his head. "It's all a misunderstanding! In terms of rank, you're above me, and eliminating an insignificant agent would be as easy as breathing for someone of your stature."

He continued nervously, "Besides, if I'd known beforehand that you were here in Gabo Creek, I never would have dared to come looking for trouble."

Andrew gave a low snort. "Barnaby the Baby, you speak well, and your composure has become much more refined than it was years ago. Clearly, your former Director taught you plenty.

"There's a creature called a two-faced snake that smiles warmly at your face but will tear you apart afterward, leaving nothing behind. Tell me, Barnaby, doesn't that sound a lot like you?"

Under Andrew's smirk, Barnaby's smile became awkward as he lowered his head. For just a moment, his gaze flashed with vicious malice.

After all, he was no mere gang leader. He commanded real power, with martial saints under him who were trained killers. He had clawed his way up through blood and shadows, and nothing shocked him anymore.
