Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2545

Andrew spoke coldly. "Why keep fooling yourself? Not only was I part of that organization, but I was also the one who led the team that protected your entire family on their way to Chetvine.

"So, to me, you're nothing. And that's not an insult; it's the truth. If I ever wanted to destroy you, whether it was back then or now, no amount of power or position could've saved you."

All the color drained from Melvin's face. His knees gave out, and he fell to the floor, trembling. Then, with a loud thud, he slammed his forehead to the ground.

"So the young man who saved us on that road back then… that was you. It was you all along… I was blind, truly blind! Mr. Lloyd, the Webster family has owed you for years, and today…"

Andrew lifted his hand, cutting him off. "I wasn't planning to bring up the past. I left that organization long ago. But your arrogance and stubbornness are hard to stomach. Now that everything's in the open, do what you think is right. And don't say I bullied you.

"If what I've said isn't enough for you, then fine. The Medicine God's Covenant can provide benefits to your family. Even my family can step in on your behalf. The point is, I'm telling you that Amari is in no way inferior. Your family may be prestigious, but we can absolutely reach that level. Understand?"

Helda suddenly burst into tears. "Melvin, you've made a terrible mistake! So it was Andrew who saved our family all those years ago… You fool, how could you be so blind?"

Melvin remained on his knees, his body trembling with emotion. He could hardly believe that Andrew was the same mysterious young man with unmatched strength who had once saved his family. He remembered hearing whispers of that organization's name back then, and even the mention of it had terrified him.

And now, realizing that Andrew had not only belonged to that organization but had also helped the Webster family countless times afterward, he was overwhelmed with shame.

He had become arrogant after rising to power, but compared to Andrew, a man who had yet to reach 30, already reached the pinnacle of influence in Holtrien, his own accomplishments were nothing but dust.

"Mr. Lloyd, the Webster family fully agrees with your proposal. I was wrong before. Please forgive me… both of you," Melvin said shakily.
