Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2201

"There's going to be a good show today. I heard that Isabelle, the aloof girl, is finally making her move!"

"Really? Let's go check it out then. In the Robertson family, watching that little bitch in action is a rare sight!"

"Don't keep calling her a bitch like that. If she hears you, you won't even know how you lost your head!"

"You can mess with anyone else, but that psycho woman from the Robertson family? Better keep your distance!"

Chetvine never lacked spoiled rich kids. They lived off their fathers' or grandfathers' achievements, lounging on their family's glory, eating well and drinking fine wine for generations without lifting a finger.

In their spare time, these wealthy heirs had nothing better to do than show off their money and pursue women. They loved keeping track of which family's daughter was hooking up with whom.

However, what really got these rich heirs talking was the ultimate spectacle: the battles between Chetvine's prodigies, where martial arts prowess determined your standing in the social hierarchy.

If you were born into a big family but had no real talent in combat, you would soon be forgotten and looked down on.

Strength ruled everything, and that had never changed.

Martial arts talent largely determined the future achievements and heights these Chetvine elites could reach. Without question, the kids from political dynasties and top-tier wealthy families were all martial arts freaks and monsters.

Not to mention the mysterious royal family members who could dominate the Titan List with a single move.

"Mikayla, my dad wants me to go to the airport and take that guy out."

Isabelle was currently somewhere else in Chetvine.

The Owens family, one of Chetvine's most prestigious clans, had been close allies with the Robertson family for generations. However, the Owens family's current claim to fame in Chetvine rested entirely on one person: an extraordinary woman!

She had reached martial saint level at 20 and was now rumored to have entered the martial emperor realm, soon to take control of the Owens family's power. She would become the most influential person among Chetvine's younger generation, commanding respect from all.

This woman was named Mikayla Owens, and she once had a complicated history with Andrew.

Mikayla quickly raised her hand to stop her from continuing. "Belle, don't bring up the past anymore. It'll only cause trouble. I already know he's coming back. Just do whatever you need to do."

Isabelle pursed her lips slightly. "Mikayla, I came here to ask what you think. Do you want him alive, or do you want him dead? If you want him alive, then I won't touch him. At worst, I'll go home and get scolded by Dad!"

Mikayla's expression grew serious: "Belle, you're still too young. I've never approved of you getting involved in all this violence and killing. Besides, you're a girl! But you shouldn't dismiss your father's orders either."

Isabelle said flatly, "I'm not dismissing them. If you don't make your position clear, then I really will kill him! You know I have the ability to do it."

Mikayla fell silent. After a long while, complex emotions flickered across her face. She slowly replied, "I'll go to the airport later and see for myself! After all, we once shared a connection. I've imagined many scenarios: him dying, him hiding under a new identity, and never returning! I just never imagined he'd be foolish enough to come back to Chetvine."

She whispered to herself, "Why do you have to be so inconsiderate and reckless?"

In that final sentence, she seemed lost and confused. Isabelle nodded and turned to leave.
