Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2441

Uriel lowered his head slightly and said, "Across all of Chetvine, you won't find many people with a motive like his. There are people who would dare to assassinate Jaden and have the strength to do it. But all things considered, only Mr. Lloyd would have such audacious boldness and capability."

He added, "Still, from what we learned, Jaden's opponent was injured just as severely as he was. Yet just now, Andrew's aura was very stable. Though he did have some obvious external injuries, that alone isn't enough to confirm he was the one who tried to kill Jaden."

Elaine snorted. "Don't overthink it. It was definitely him. Though I can't provide solid proof, he's had this seemingly harmless nature since childhood, yet he causes chaos everywhere and fears nothing, not even the sky falling. I even suspect that Benny, the heir of the Murphy family at the Grand Auction House, was taken out by him, too. Andrew is no easy target."

Uriel pondered for a moment before speaking. "Ms. Theron, about his proposal just now… Are you really going to consider it? Ms. Valerie is no ordinary person."

Elaine's eyes flickered, and she said coldly, "No one can resist the temptation of ten supreme elixirs. Not even me, despite having no more desires. But the thought of Valerie marrying down to Amari? I'm not willing to accept that."

Uriel said, "This matter must be reported to Mr. Reyes Senior. And we must also ask for Ms. Valerie's opinion. But we do have a third option that's easier, cleaner, and less trouble."

Elaine smiled faintly. "I know what you mean, take the money and skip the deed, and take the ten supreme elixirs by force. Still, did you notice how casually the boy left those items behind?

"He didn't even flinch. You saw how he walked away and left the goods. That shows he's not afraid of us or that we'll double-cross him. If we dare to, he definitely has some countermeasures to target our family."

Uriel snorted coldly. "He wouldn't dare."

Elaine waved her hand. "Drop the idea of double-crossing him. I'm not afraid of him, but Reginald and the Lloyd royals aren't to be trifled with. Moreover, he's a ninth-grade supreme alchemist. That fact alone makes maintaining good relations with him worth more than anything else."
