Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2445

Andrew looked a little embarrassed and rubbed his nose. "Oh, I meant you're my friend. And you're a woman, so technically, that makes you one of the women around me, right?"

Luna's mood instantly lifted. "No problem with that."

She smiled brightly and added, "Come on, I'll walk you out. By the way, I have some info on Jaden's whereabouts. Do you want it?"

Andrew grinned. "If you're giving, I'm taking."

Something flickered in Luna's heart, and she blurted out without thinking, "If you want it, then I'll give it to you."

The moment the words left her mouth, her face turned bright red.

What kind of shameless thing had she just said?

How could she be so careless and blurt out something so suggestive?

Thankfully, Andrew did not seem to notice anything odd. The two of them walked out of the Martial Tower together, and Luna personally saw him off until his figure disappeared down the road.

Then, she turned back toward the tower. She had thought today's shift at the Martial Tower would be as dull and quiet as usual, but now her chest felt like waves crashing against a shore, restless and alive.

"Uh, General, are you… happy about something?" Leslie looked up at Luna with a strange expression.

Luna kept her face cold and said nothing.

Leslie grew bolder, smirking. "Got closer with Mr. Lloyd, huh? Or did something happen between you two?"

That finally broke Luna's composure. She snapped, flustered, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't. You're too nosy."

Leslie snorted a laugh. "General, you're blushing."

…

The more Jaden thought about it, the more furious he became. "Even if that bastard didn't attack me, I'll still make him suffer. He needs to pay for crossing me!"

He slammed his palm down, eyes burning. "He dared to challenge me at the Grand Auction House and refused to show respect to Mr. Vazquez, making a fool out of me in public. Just for that, I'll make sure he regrets it. The Cunningham and Robertson families might not dare to act, but I don't care about such nonsense."

His voice turned cold, his tone dripping with venom. "As long as Mr. Vazquez is pleased, I can kill whoever I want. After that, I'll disappear from Chetvine for a while. Who's going to stop me?"

He sneered, eyes flashing with cruelty. "That so-called Dragon Prince of the Lloyd family? I'll turn him into a dead mutt."

With a loud crash, Jaden slammed his hand on the coffee table, shattering it into splinters as he stood up.

The few confidants in the room froze, their hearts racing. Nobody dared to speak, because everyone knew Jaden's temper.

When he was like this, anyone who said the wrong thing could end up dead. Only Guillermo and a handful of powerful figures could rein in this mad dog.
