Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2644

Conrad's throat felt dry as he let out a raspy laugh. "Yeah, you spared my life for the sake of the brothers who died. Andrew, you're so noble, so righteous… but do you really think I'd believe a single word you said?"

Andrew clenched his jaw and slapped him twice, each strike cracking through the air. This time, he hit Conrad directly on his skull, and Conrad felt the headache he had barely recovered from split open again.

Andrew then grabbed him by the neck, the veins along his arm standing out as he squeezed.

Conrad's badly injured throat took the pressure, and blood seeped out drop by drop.

The pain was so sharp and hellish that he screamed uncontrollably while his body thrashed on the stretcher.

He shouted, "Kill me! If you have the guts, kill me, Andrew!"

However, Andrew suddenly let go. His expression turned cold and disdainful as he said, "That tiny bit of pain is already too much for you? Conrad, I wasn't wrong. You really were weak, absolute garbage."

Ignoring the hatred burning in Conrad's eyes, Andrew continued, "Have you even thought about this? If I really were a traitor, why hasn't the military arrested me? Why would someone like Philip let me walk free, and why would Luna, his prized student, stay by my side?"

He continued, "Conrad, you've never had a brain, only brute strength. You've been hiding behind your hatred like a shield, trapping yourself in a cage you built for your own ego. The fact that you're still alive is honestly a miracle, but next time you'd better pray I'm feeling just as merciful."

With that, Andrew dragged his battered body away.

The man was a Major General. Someone with actual power from the military had arrived on the scene.

He ordered the crowd to disperse immediately before turning to the Cunningham family with a cold glare.

He said, "Carry him out of here and get lost. General Turman won't see him again. And from today on, the partnership between the Cunningham family and the military is over. From now on, it's nothing but official business between us."

The Cunningham family's elite guard froze, stunned as his stomach dropped. He instantly knew something serious was about to happen.
