Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2931

Juno suggested, "We've already got a feud with Kaelen. Why not just go all in and settle this with a direct fight?"

Franz sighed deeply, his response measured and cautious. "It's not that simple. If it were just the Dark Clans, maybe things would be different. The Ludendorff family is the King of the Outlands. The special forces from the top three foreign powers and the people from Lomuia Grand Cathedral all seem to have a hidden agenda against Dragonfang."

Nyx replied flatly, "We don't start trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. I won't listen to anyone else. If Mr. Lloyd Senior says we fight, then we fight. Let's see who's got the most guts."

Andrew raised an eyebrow, studying her carefully. Nyx was an assassin, so it was impossible for her not to be fierce. Yet more than that, she carried an aura of calm, icy stillness, and deep restraint.

She was like a night-blooming flower under the moon, neither flashy nor seductive, yet possessing a fragrance that stood alone in the world. Her bold, almost aggressive statement seemed almost at odds with her typically serene nature. The group dispersed, waiting silently for Reginald's return.

Andrew walked up to Franz and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Hearst, can I ask you something?"

Franz replied, "What is it?"

Andrew lowered his voice further, his expression strange as he said, "I noticed that among Dragonfang, Nyx seems to protect my father more than anyone else. Does she have feelings for him?"

Franz was momentarily stunned, then responded with exasperation, "Aren't you the playboy back home? How can you not see what's really going on?"

Andrew was left speechless.

That evening, Reginald finally returned to the village lodge. He immediately called a meeting of Dragonfang to discuss urgent matters.

"Sir, what's the situation in Storm City?" Knox asked, his usual playful demeanor gone.

Reginald's face remained calm as he stated, "There's no way around it. We're going to have to fight."

Franz quickly responded, "Fight? And how exactly are we going to do that?"
