Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3013

Cyril's face twitched violently as he turned around. "What else do you want? If you're thinking about asking for more, then I don't even need to check with Throne City; I can tell you that the answer is no. The Ludendorff family's forces must be concentrated in Throne City to deal with the Cathedral. If we split them with you, how can our family still claim to be the King of the Wastelands?"

Andrew nodded repeatedly. "Yes, you're absolutely right! That makes perfect sense! I called you back, but not to ask for more. I'm a man of my word. Since we've already made a deal, you know I won't make any more excessive demands."

Cyril let out a cold laugh, clearly unconvinced. This bastard had screwed over the Ludendorff family more than once.

Andrew smiled cheerfully. "I just wanted to catch up with you a bit. It's about Prince Prescott and Governor Garal. After they escaped from Abyss City, I was wondering how they're doing? Are they in good health?"

Cyril's face darkened as he snorted coldly. "What do you think? You have crippled Prince Prescott, while Garal was severely injured and nearly executed by Lord Raiden. The Ludendorff family isn't some pushover you can bully. What you've done will be settled, just not yet."

Andrew's eyes narrowed. "Are you threatening me? Nyx, our guest is openly threatening us in our own home. What do you think we should do about that?"

Nyx replied coldly, "Kill him."

Cyril's heart skipped a beat. As much as he hated Andrew, it was not the time to offend him. The Ludendorff family still needed him to help fight against the Cathedral.

He quickly said, "Sir, you've misunderstood. I wouldn't dare threaten you. The Ludendorff family will deliver what you need right away. I hope you'll keep your word. Now, if you'll excuse me, I won't take up any more of your time!"

With that, Cyril practically fled from Abyss City.

A cold gleam flashed in Andrew's eyes.

Andrew waved his hand, chuckling. "I'm not too worried about money. Besides, money isn't my goal anyway. Knox, divide it among everyone. I know you'll all want to pursue your own ideal lives someday, so the more you can accumulate now, the better."

Nyx looked at Andrew, her blue eyes glistening with deep affection.

Andrew smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nyx shook her head and said softly, "Nothing. I just think you're really something special."

Andrew stood up and turned to Franz. "Nyx and I need to head to the Deadlands now. This trip will take at least two days, and I'm leaving everything in Abyss City in your hands. There are two rules. First, do not clash with the Cathedral. Sit back and let them fight it out. As for the Ludendorff family's demands and whatever they send us later, accept everything.
