Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2401

Amari frowned. "Come in? This is my private courtyard. That's probably not appropriate, is it?"

Luna bit her lip and pressed forward anyway. "Mr. Goodman, I need to talk to Mr. Lloyd alone. Please, just give me a moment. I apologize for the intrusion."

Without waiting for permission, she strode past Amari and headed inside.

Amari looked flustered. "General Phelan, wait!"

However, Leslie grabbed his arm with a knowing smile. "Mr. Goodman, great to meet you. I've heard you're into fine wine and want to try every good drink out there. We have some excellent stock at the military headquarters. How about we grab a drink?"

Amari's eyes lit up immediately. "Are you for real?"

Soon, the two were deep in conversation about alcohol, completely forgetting about Andrew.

Luna hurried into the courtyard and found Andrew sitting beneath a large tree. In front of him, a brass cauldron was smoking gently, and it looked like it had been burning continuously even while he was out eating.

She watched as Andrew deftly opened the cover, tossed in some medicinal herbs with practiced ease, and closed it back up without even looking. Then, he closed his eyes as if meditating.

A few moments later, he opened his eyes and checked the flames inside. Next, without hesitation, he threw something into the fire. The flames suddenly erupted violently, burning so hot that the cauldron glowed an angry red.

Andrew did not even flinch. He calmly reached out and grabbed the scorching hot cover with his bare hand, completely unaffected by the heat. He peered inside briefly, tossed the cover back on, and shook his head with a slight smile.
