Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2822

"What's happening? Andrew is… No, I have to go in and save him!"

In her panic, Valerie rushed toward Harmony Cavern, but Harlan and Noel quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"Ms. Reyes, you absolutely cannot go in there. Harmony Cavern is extremely dangerous. Unless you're one of the elders, anyone who enters risks their life."

Valerie refused to listen at all and snapped, "Get out of my way! If anything happens to my man, I swear I'll burn this entire place to the ground!"

Harlan and Noel both exchanged helpless looks. Valerie was breathtakingly beautiful with unparalleled grace, but her temper was truly something else.

Just as Valerie was about to enter Harmony Cavern, Roman shot forward, blocking the entrance.

"Ms. Reyes, don't act rashly. If you go in, not only will you fail to save the Dragon Prince, but you'll end up dying a terrible death yourself."

Valerie erupted in fury. "Move aside! You old fraud, if it weren't for you, Andrew wouldn't have gone in there. You saw it, didn't you? He's already coughing up blood. There's something evil in that cave that's tearing open his deepest wounds."

Roman sighed with fake concern. "I already told you, Harmony Cavern brings out a person's inner demons. If he can overcome them, the Dragon Prince will grow stronger than ever, but if he can't, then pain and injury are unavoidable."

Valerie said coldly, "I won't allow him to be hurt even a little. Andrew has suffered enough and carried more than anyone ever should."

Her voice became choked with emotion as she spoke.

Roman shook his head. "Ms. Reyes, there's no point in going in there. You'll also fall into the illusion of your own inner demons. Then, both of you will be lost inside."

Valerie's heart burned with anxiety. She was not afraid of getting lost inside herself, but if going in could not save Andrew, that would be disastrous.

If Valerie died on Mount Lourneau, that would be real trouble. Given Finnegan's temperament, he would probably investigate to the bitter end. When that happened, Roman would not be able to escape blame either.

Besides, Andrew was clearly on his last legs. So, the last thing Roman wanted was for Valerie to go in and ruin everything.

Valerie did not hesitate as her eyes flashed with murderous intent. She raised her hand and struck at him without warning.

Harlan and Noel jumped in alarm. They were about to stop her when something shifted inside the cavern.

Andrew, who had collapsed moments ago, was suddenly struggling. Then, he slowly got back on his feet.

Noel's face lit up with delight as he pointed at the cave and shouted, "The Dragon Prince… He's alive!"
