Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2999

Just then, the group heard a cold snort. They turned around and saw several black armored vehicles pulled up, and a bunch of people stepped out. They were dressed uniformly in black combat gear, and each had a hardened expression on their faces as they emanated a powerful aura.

The first few soldiers to emerge laid out carpets, spreading a path from the lead vehicle all the way to Reginald's feet.

After that, an elderly man stepped down from the vehicle. He was lean and compact rather than tall, dressed in fitted combat wear, yet an overwhelming aura surged from him like a rising tide. His eyes were a deep gray, and he merely glanced at Luna and the others before looking away.

However, Luna, Kyrie, and the rest felt their hearts tighten with indescribable discomfort. A chill ran through them because the pressure from this old man was terrifying, far beyond anything they could comprehend.

At that moment, Reginald said calmly, "Lord Raiden, you arrived just in time. We're almost done with our progress here, so the Ludendorff family can save themselves the effort after showing up so late."

Raiden walked up to Reginald with his hands behind his back, smiling without warmth. He said, "Mr. Lloyd Senior, are you blaming me for arriving late?"

Reginald replied flatly, "I wouldn't dare."

Raiden snorted coldly. "If your son, Andrew, hadn't caused me so much trouble, I wouldn't have arrived only now. Even without you as its leader, Dragonfang remains so formidable. Mr. Lloyd Senior, you've really raised an impressive son!"

That last sentence was spoken through gritted teeth, laced with deep hatred and killing intent.

Raiden's face darkened as his hands behind his back clenched and unclenched repeatedly. Finally, he coldly spat, "Reginald, perhaps you truly stand in an invincible position. But this is the Outlands, the Wastelands. You and your son can't defeat the Ludendorff family. Time will prove it to you. Once the Veiled Paradise matter concludes, Throne City will settle the score."

Reginald replied casually, "Whatever makes you happy!"

With that, he led Luna and the others away, returning to their resting area.

As soon as they arrived, Valerie asked impatiently, "May I ask where Andrew is now? Will he come to the Deadlands?"
