Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2440

Andrew said calmly, "Since when were titles and power reserved for noble blood? In the past, sure, the Divine Alchemists ruled everything. However, alchemy is the lifeline of every martial artist in the world, and though I'm just a ninth-grade supreme alchemist, I believe I can challenge them."

He met her silence through the veil, a silence that stretched much longer than before.

After what felt like ages, Elaine finally spoke, her voice sounding uncertain. "Did you just say… you're already a ninth-grade supreme alchemist?"

Andrew smiled. "As real as it gets. Otherwise, Ms. Theron, where do you think all those supreme elixirs came from?

Elaine sighed. "Alright, I can't find any reason not to believe you. I didn't expect you to have such accomplishments in alchemy as well. I take back what I said earlier. You're no longer the elegant young man from before, but your charm has only increased. And don't think I'm being shallow. Men need absolute strength to back them up."

Andrew maintained his composure. "So, Ms. Theron, will your family join the new force I'm organizing?"

Elaine laughed. "Of course. Only a fool would refuse an invitation from a supreme alchemist. And I've always prided myself on being smart. However, there is one condition: in the new force you're organizing, our family must be in a controlling position."

Andrew smiled. "Ms. Theron, I'm returning your earlier words to you. You're dreaming. If I let your family control the force I'm organizing, where would that leave my dignity? What would be the point?"

Elaine said in frustration, "I knew you wouldn't take even the slightest loss. Fine, let's leave it at that. Our family will participate. Soon enough, someone will come to coordinate with you."

Andrew nodded. "In that case, I'll take my leave."
