Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2509

Andrew said calmly, "We only have fewer than five alchemists in total, including myself. So, at this stage, fulfilling Iron Sword Sect's entire order would be impossible."

Franco froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded. Andrew had just admitted it outright, no excuses, no dodging, and no attempt to soften the blow.

"You… you little punk! If you knew you didn't have the ability, then why the hell did you agree to it earlier?" His rage exploded, and with one strike of his palm, the marble table beside him shattered into pieces.

Augustin was stunned for a moment before his face twisted into a mocking grin. "Andrew, I can't believe I trusted you just now. Turns out you really are a liar. You think you can scam Iron Sword Sect and walk out of here alive? Dream on."

Despite the two men shouting at him, Andrew stayed completely calm. "Are you both done yelling? Good. Then it's my turn to speak. Besides, Mr. Kaplan hasn't said a word yet, so what's the point of all your shouting?"

With just a few sentences, Andrew managed to quiet both men. They exchanged uneasy looks, realizing Devin was still silently sipping his tea.

What the hell was he doing? Was he not angry? Was he in shock?

Augustin finally lost his patience. "Mr. Kaplan, this bastard…"

Devin set his cup down with a soft clink and said, "I heard everything he said. You don't need to repeat it. In fact, I already knew from the start that Medicine God's Covenant didn't have the capacity for our order. And yes, I knew Andrew was lying to me."

He added, "Right, Andrew?"
