Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2381

Andrew's curiosity was piqued as well, so he leaned forward to get a better look. It seemed that the Reyes Grand Auction House truly catered to all kinds of clientele, operating in both legitimate and shady circles.

No wonder Joaquin had emphasized the importance of wearing a mask.

The massive photograph displayed showed a figure in a military uniform descending from an armored vehicle. Although only the side profile was visible, her sharp posture and striking beauty were enough for Andrew to recognize her instantly.

It was Luna, the female major general from the military.

Someone immediately said, "You must be joking! She's a military officer, and a general at that. Setting aside everything else, her combat strength alone is nothing to scoff at. What are you thinking, trying to kidnap a military general? You've got a death wish?"

The fat man holding the photograph remained unfazed by these objections. He simply replied flatly, "Alright, the deal stands. If not, we call it off. Of course, we know she's a military general and a tough target. But the compensation we're offering is substantial as well."

Another voice, sharp and shrill, chimed in. "This is a terrible idea! It's absolutely insane. I'm giving you all a heads up: this woman is Luna Phelan, and she's Philip Turman's student. He's the military's supreme commander!

"If she were just an ordinary general, I might consider testing the waters myself. But touching his student? That old beast will rip your guts out."

The fat man seemed displeased now. He let out a cold snort. "Yes, Luna is Philip's student. But we're the shadows that move in the dark. If we can't beat her, we can always disappear."
