Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2527

From earlier, Andrew had already sensed that this martial emperor was at least at the third stage, far stronger than Wilder, who had only reached the first. The difference in power was massive, and right now, Andrew was not even close to being a match. He was still wounded, and it had only been a day since his fight with Wilder, so forcing another battle now would be pointless.

While suspended midair, Andrew struck out several times in quick succession before deciding that retreat was the best strategy. However, every time he tried to land on the riverbank, he saw more than a dozen assassins dressed in black already waiting, ready to strike.

Behind him, the martial emperor was advancing at terrifying speed, each step spanning several yards. Within two seconds, he was already almost on top of Andrew.

On Luna's pale face, a bitter smile appeared. "I already called for help. But it'll take at least ten minutes for Mr. Turman to get here. Andrew, put me down. You should be able to escape on your own without any problem."

Andrew's gaze was icy cold. Hearing this, he said calmly, "Do you really think I'm the kind of person who abandons his comrades to save himself?"

Luna was immediately stumped by that question. Her lips trembled as she asked, "Y-You consider me a comrade?"

Andrew smiled. "Of course. General Phelan, come to think of it, we've never fought side by side before, have we?"

In that instant, Luna was somewhat mesmerized. Even in such a desperate situation, this man could still smile. From this alone, she could see that just as Philip had said, he truly was an extraordinary man.

It seemed like no danger ever fazed him.

"Andrew, I'm serious. If you leave me behind and escape by yourself, you actually could survive." Luna tried to persuade him.

At this moment between life and death, she suddenly felt relaxed. At least Andrew had come and given her a chance to say goodbye.

She thought perhaps this was heaven's final gift to her.

But then she heard Andrew's annoyed voice. "What's wrong with you? You've got no fighting spirit at all. This is just a minor crisis, and you're already acting like it's the end. If this were back in my old days, soldiers like you would've gotten a beating from me."
