Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3001

Reginald said, "I believe Andrew won't hold a grudge against you either. So after I enter the Veiled Paradise, if you run into trouble, go find Andrew. The situation in the Outlands has deteriorated badly, so don't try to tough it out alone, understand?"

Conrad trembled violently. Then, he dropped to his knees and bowed twice. "Mr. Lloyd Senior, thank you!"

Reginald waved his hand. "No need for that. Just remember that a true man should live with a clear conscience."

Conrad's eyes reddened as he escorted Reginald to the door before returning.

Luna consoled him, "Conrad, stop dwelling on the past and blaming yourself. You're a man, and you need to move forward. If you did wrong in the past, then make amends and atone for it."

Conrad took a deep breath and shook his head. "Luna, there's a lot you don't know. I just feel I've failed Mr. Lloyd Senior. After coming to the Outlands, I successfully broke through to the fourth stage of martial emperor with his help, and my martial progress has never been faster.

"Sometimes, the way Mr. Lloyd Senior treats me makes me feel ashamed. Being by his side, I truly understand what it means that there is always someone stronger beyond the strongest. The old me was foolish, narrow-minded, and prejudiced. Now, I've come to see things clearly. I originally wanted to follow Mr. Lloyd Senior into the sacred realm as a scout for Holtrien."

Conrad shook his head. "As far as I know, none of Raiden's sons are martial emperors. Of his eight sons, two are martial gods. The rest aren't worth mentioning, as none of them has reached the martial emperor level.

"For Raiden to be so furious that he came to confront Mr. Lloyd Senior like this, it can only mean Andrew crippled one of Raiden's two martial god sons. Either way, it proves Andrew's current strength can officially take down martial god-level powerhouses."

Kyrie's legs went weak, and he plopped down on the ground. "Really? How did he become so strong? How did he become so monstrous in just this short time? My family is done for!"
