Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2745

Brielle was stunned. She blurted, "Phantom Mirage? You actually knew that technique."

The man was actually Eric himself, and he looked as aloof as ever.

He said, "Looks like you're not just some random woman, since you recognized my technique."

Brielle was about to speak when she suddenly gasped, "Watch out!"

She instinctively shoved Eric aside and struck toward the space behind him. A violent gust rushed from behind her, carrying a killing intent that made the air hum.

Eric's scalp tingled, and when he turned around, his expression hardened.

Damon, who had been trapped by Eric's illusion earlier, had snapped out of it. His face was grim and vicious as he unleashed a lethal palm strike straight at Eric. If Brielle had not intervened, Eric would have been dead.

Realizing that, Eric's shock turned into fury. He shouted, "You old bastard, I'll kill you!" and charged in recklessly.

Brielle yelled, "Fall back! You're no match for him!"

Damon's palms slammed forward like steel plates, knocking Eric back. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he lunged again and rammed into Eric with his shoulder.

Eric let out a sharp cry as he threw up a mouthful of blood.

Damon was furious. He barked, "After him! Kill that little brat! And make him hand over the Phantom Mirage technique while we're at it."

Brielle snapped, "Damon, do you even have any shame left? I'm warning you, this is Chetvine. There are powerful people everywhere, and you can't just attack and rob someone without consequences."

Damon sneered. "You think I came to Chetvine unprepared? Mr. Vazquez already agreed to give me full clearance while I'm operating here. So not only can I hunt down that nobody, but even if I start slaughtering people in Chetvine, nothing will happen to me."

Brielle was furious and shocked. She had not expected Damon and Julius to prepare this thoroughly. She raised her hand, ready to fight the enforcers just long enough for Eric to escape.

Suddenly, Eric, who had been running for his life, stopped. He wiped the blood off his mouth, glared back at Damon, and shouted, "You old freak, my dad's here! You're going to be begging for forgiveness!"
