Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2081

Even though Rowan did not actually manage to rescue Andrew in the end, her life-risking determination and loyalty had still moved him.

More importantly, she was someone he had not crossed paths with in years, and she seemed to look at him differently now.

So, if he rashly stepped in to save her now, would he end up getting entangled in a relationship he could not shake off?

Looking up at the pitch-black sky above, Andrew found himself genuinely torn.

He mumbled, "You tried to save me once before, even though I didn't need saving. Since I've stumbled across this situation, I can't just stand by and watch someone suffer. I've never been able to turn a blind eye to people in trouble!"

After finding himself a reason, Andrew took two quick steps to reach the locked courtyard gate. As soon as he got close, he could hear Rowan's heartbroken sobs from inside.

In Andrew's memory, the Onyx Serpents had always been reasonably powerful among the three major gangs in Gabo Creek. Nonetheless, they were not particularly strong.

Now that Goldridge had undergone massive changes and Jerome had fallen, both the Hidden Dragons and Crimson Alliance had chosen to seek protection under bigger powers.

The Crimson Alliance had directly aligned itself with the McCormick family, while Riker from the Hidden Dragons had become Henry's lapdog.

Only the Onyx Serpents had endured repeated suppression while refusing to submit.

Eventually, they were forced to leave Goldridge and seek another path. After wandering around, they ended up in Sunstrand, the McDaniel family territory.

In her helpless state, Rowan had fallen into the trap set by Eugene, the eldest son of the McDaniel family.

Andrew did not need much more than a guess to piece it together. He gripped the door lock and channeled his internal energy. Immediately, the lock shattered and the door swung open.

Under the soft indoor lighting, a delicate and helpless figure was crouched on the ground, hugging herself and sobbing. Before he even got close, a cool, sweet fragrance reached him.

Andrew froze for a second. He remembered this scent from years ago, and it had always lingered around her.
