Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2765

Julius let out a cold snort and said, "I have zero interest in making a move inside Chetvine. My fight with Reginald needs to happen outside the city so I can go all out."

Guillermo chimed in, "The military is indeed our biggest obstacle when it comes to taking action, so Chetvine has never been part of my plan. As for the exact location, there are no rules. Anywhere across Holtrien, or even outside the country, can turn into an endless hunt. This is what a real Dragon-Slaying Meeting should be."

Julius shook his head and cut him off, saying, "Mr. Vazquez, I seriously don't understand you. We don't have the time or patience to keep dragging this out with Reginald and Andrew. Reginald will obviously return to whatever battleground we set up."

He added, "And Andrew, Reginald's only son, is the key to the entire operation. He'll pull the entire situation in whatever direction he moves. Since he hasn't even reached the martial emperor level yet, he honestly isn't worth worrying about. So all we need to do is kill him the moment he leaves Chetvine."

Guillermo smiled and replied, "You're not wrong. But what if our ambush fails the moment Andrew steps outside Chetvine?"

Julius frowned and said coldly, "Fails? Are you telling me everyone here is a bunch of useless mutts? I really can't understand how it could fail. Even if some divine powerhouse showed up, they'd still get obliterated."

Guillermo nodded. "That's true. But you all know I'm only responsible for setting the board. As for how the game ends and whether the pieces survive, that depends on all of you."

Bill's voice rumbled like thunder as he said, "The Thunder Sect will send three high-rank martial saints and one pre-martial god to kill the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince. With all of you involved as well, everything will fall right into place."

Julius scoffed and said, "Fall into place? More like a waste of resources."

Otto said calmly, "The Cunningham family will send two martial saints to join the siege on Andrew. If necessary, I will step onto the field myself."

Kelvin let out a mocking laugh and said, "Mr. Harding Senior, looks like you're getting old. I thought you'd join us in facing Reginald head-on. Back then, your clan's prodigy was beaten to death by Reginald; did all your anger and humiliation disappear over the years?"

Sergio sneered and said, "Provocation doesn't work on me. I may be old, but killing is still something I'm good at. And when it comes to facing Reginald, I'm not afraid. At the very least, I'm not as spineless as you."

Kelvin scoffed and said, "Then why don't you join the fight? Let's see if the core members of the Lloyd family crush you with one slap."

Sergio snapped, "Are you done yet? You think you'd survive if I die? Your little tricks might impress people in Sylvan Peaks, but in front of Reginald, what are you even worth?"
