Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2386

Andrew nodded and asked, "So, who the hell is Kirian?"

Dallas' face went pale with horror. "What are you planning? You're not thinking of going after him, are you? He might know who actually placed that seal, but if you dare seek him out, you're signing your own death warrant. Kirian is ranked sixth on the Titan List, a true master swordsman."

Andrew removed his mask and smiled without warmth. "Kirian being sixth on the Titan List is certainly impressive. But do you honestly think I'd be afraid of him?"

Dallas' blood-stained eyes widened in recognition, and his entire body began to tremble violently. "I-It's you! I should have known from the start. You're asking about the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince because you are the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince."

"No… P-Please, don't…" Dallas managed to stammer before his plea was cut short by a final, terrified scream.

The light faded from Dallas' eyes as Andrew withdrew his hand from the old man's skull. In a single strike, his energy had shredded Dallas' brain from the inside.

When Andrew struck, he never hesitated, never softened, and never let emotion cloud his judgment. That was what made him truly dangerous.

It was also precisely why only Andrew could lead the Iron Cavalry team.

Dallas had sealed his fate the moment he planned to kill Andrew and steal his treasure.

Andrew was no saint. If someone was already plotting to commit murder and robbery, there was no reason to show them mercy. That would be foolish.

Furthermore, his inquiry about past events carried a significant risk. There was a real possibility that Guillermo would find out, which would prompt him to take immediate action.

Andrew had already experienced Guillermo's terrifying ability to manipulate events from the shadows. Once that man began orchestrating events, the complications would only multiply, leaving Andrew with no room to maneuver.

The best approach was to proceed quietly and in secret. This made Dallas a liability who absolutely had to die. If Andrew let him live, Dallas' cunning nature meant he would inevitably spread word of Andrew's identity, even with the incentive of a ninth-grade supreme elixir.
