Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2530

Andrew smiled and pulled her up, and the two continued their escape. He explained, "That guy's name is Jahmir Robles, a notorious lone wolf from the Northern Martial Union. Among the powerhouses at the martial emperor level, most have retired or semi-retired, prioritizing reputation and seniority. But this man? He's like a vulture, ruthless and shameless."

He continued, "Even after all these years, he's still greedy as hell and would do anything for profit. My father and I once crossed paths with him, but back then, he acted like a well-trained dog in front of my dad, and he didn't even dare to misbehave.

"At the time, the Lloyd family needed his help tracking someone down, and that was when I saw through his tricks. He's paranoid and likes to double back. That's exactly the kind of stunt he'd pull. The things he said earlier? He wasn't talking to himself; he was baiting us, trying to lure us out in case we were hiding nearby."

Luna looked at him, visibly impressed. "Good thing you caught that. I didn't even think about it. If we'd made a move earlier, we probably would've been caught."

Andrew smirked. "Didn't think you knew how to give compliments."

Luna said seriously, "When someone's better than me, I'll admit it. And you are."

Half an hour later, they finally reached the outskirts of Chetvine, which meant they were finally safe.

Luna exhaled. "The military's already on their way to pick me up. They'll be here soon. Andrew… Thank you for tonight."

Seeing her hesitate, Andrew waved it off with a grin. "Don't mention it. You helped me before, and I saved you this time. So, I guess we're even now. But you should still be careful moving forward."

Luna's tone turned cold. "I don't need to be careful. Once I recover at the Martial Tower, I'll hunt Jahmir down across the entire North. I know some of the people backing him, too, and I'll make sure they all pay."

Andrew nodded. "If you need my help, just say the word. I'll be there. Anyway, I'll get going."

As he turned to leave, Luna's heartbeat quickened. "Wait!"

Andrew stopped and looked back curiously.

Luna bit her lip. "Earlier… when we were underwater, that thing we… you know…"
