Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2859

At Night Rose, Andrew slept soundly through the night. While he rested peacefully, the entire City of Hope was turned upside down, with countless streets and alleys being swept and searched. However, his hideout remained quiet and undisturbed.

"Now that you're awake, you need to leave. Right now," Gaia urged the moment she saw him stir.

Her face showed lingering fear and anxiety. While Andrew had slept like a baby all night, she had not dared move a muscle. If anyone discovered Andrew was here, she would be dead for sure.

However, if she had not provided him shelter, that massive sword at his side could have killed her just as easily.

So, Gaia had spent the entire night in agony, caught between two deadly choices.

Andrew smiled and slowly got out of bed.

"Here, this is for you. Call it rent for the night," he said, tossing down a gold bar with a clink before heading for the door.

Gaia's eyes lit up immediately, and she bit her lip. "You're so generous… Are you sure you don't want to enjoy yourself a little? Don't worry, I won't charge you. It's on the house."

Andrew waved dismissively over his shoulder. "Sorry, but I'm picky."

Gaia's face flushed red, and she immediately cursed at him to get lost. Sure, she was getting older, but in City of Hope, she was still considered premium goods. She thought Andrew was just putting on airs, acting as if he had actually been with high-class women before.

Chasing after him, Gaia called out, "Hey! The whole city's looking for you right now. If you just waltz out there like that, you're definitely getting caught."

Andrew left the bar and headed down the grimy street. He paid absolutely no attention to Gaia's warning. After a whole night of this manhunt brewing, he was certain the Chief of the City of Hope had figured out what was going on.

The fact that Andrew dared to stroll down the street so brazenly made things very clear.

The team leader could have immediately ordered his entire force to open fire on Andrew. But first, Chief Petyr wanted the target alive. And second, the leader had spent over 20 years fighting his way through the City of Hope and had seen plenty of dangerous people.

But someone as arrogant as Andrew? This was a first. So, the leader chose a cautious, conservative approach.

In City of Hope, all the mindless showoffs were already corpses rotting somewhere. Only truly dangerous men had the capital to act so brazenly. Moreover, anyone who could blow Razor Crew's headquarters sky-high and treat Petyr like he was nothing had to be dangerous as hell.

"Mr. Gillen, we've found him. He's demanding that you come out and talk," the leader immediately contacted Petyr.

Petyr's cold voice came back. "Do you think he's worthy? If not, just kill him on the spot."
