Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2274

Just then, Andrew received a call from Amari.

"Andrew, come to Sovereign's Apothecary immediately. There's news about what you're looking for!"

Andrew's heart stirred, and he immediately headed toward Sovereign's Apothecary.

By sheer coincidence, he ran into Mikayla again. "Don't tell me you still haven't given up and want to see Madam Baxter?"

There was a hint of subtle mockery in Mikayla's expression. She felt that Andrew's behavior was really degrading.

However, Andrew ignored her and smiled at someone nearby. "Where's Conrad been these days? I haven't seen him around."

Isabelle had a lollipop in her mouth and grinned sweetly when she heard him. "Andrew, are you worried about him? Well, he wants to fight you to the death, right? He's already gone north to the frozen wasteland to train. He's just waiting for the right time to come find you!"

Andrew nodded and smiled back. "Well, tell him not to waste his effort when you see him. I don't want to beat him until he's crying and screaming!"

Isabelle giggled with delight. "Sure thing! I'll tell him to get his coffin ready first."

Andrew was immediately speechless at her response.

Mikayla's face darkened considerably.

Isabelle puffed out her cheeks. "Mikayla, that's a bit much. Why do you sound like you have some weird grudge against Andrew? Didn't you say things between you two were already over? If that's the case, then what happens to him has nothing to do with you."

Mikayla sneered. "Easy for you to say. Since we're on the subject, why did your attitude toward Andrew change so much after you fought him last time?"

Isabelle blinked with her usual innocence. "Did it? I didn't even notice. I just think Andrew's actually kind of nice. Look at him, always smiling at people and never stooping to argue with us. Just for that calmness alone, as my dad would put it, that's enough to call someone a hero."

Mikayla smirked in open disdain. "A hero? Belle, you're too naive, too sheltered. There are no heroes in this world, only winners. And even if heroes did exist, he's not one of them. Remember, he's no longer the Dragon Prince of the Lloyd family from ten years ago. That halo of his has long since been stripped away, leaving only mediocrity and ordinariness behind."

Isabelle shrugged. "I'm not interested in all that. Oh, by the way, Mikayla, I heard Kyrie and Brett just got schooled by Andrew. Brett was beaten until he was coughing up blood. Kyrie showed up and even exchanged a move with Andrew, but that ended with nothing too. Honestly, the Harding family really is pathetic."
