Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2860

The leader fell silent for a moment before answering, "I believe he is worthy. So whatever you decide to do, it's best if you handle this personally, Mr. Gillen."

On the other end, Petyr paused, then replied flatly, "Bring him to me."

The leader hung up and turned respectfully to Andrew. "Sir, please come with us. Mr. Gillen wants to see you."

Andrew smiled. Smart people were so much easier to deal with. A proper show of strength sometimes went a long way. At the very least, it could keep your opponent from getting hot-headed and throwing their life away for nothing.

Ten minutes later, Andrew stepped out of the vehicle. He had arrived at the administrative district in the northern part of the City of Hope. The leader guided him forward while subtly glancing at the massive sword on Andrew's back.

He thought anyone who could wield a weapon like that was no ordinary person. Thank goodness Petyr had not lost his mind and ordered an attack on Andrew. Otherwise, he would have had no choice but to start looking for a new employer.

At the top of a towering pyramid-like structure, Andrew met Petyr. The man stood with his back to Andrew, both hands resting on the balcony railing as he gazed out over the entire city.

Petyr said casually, "Since you came from far away, my friend, do you find the City of Hope beautiful?"

Andrew replied flatly, "It's got nothing to do with beauty. It's filthy, chaotic, and violent. The upper class is crushing everyone below, and the bottom tiers are backstabbing each other in a constant fight to survive."

Petyr, wrapped in red robes and barefoot, seemed to pause for a moment, then laughed. "You've got guts. But that alone isn't enough to make me spare you."

With that, Petyr turned around.
