Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3167

Running into old friends in a distant land was always something worth celebrating. Andrew immediately invited Luna, Valerie, Conrad, and Kyrie to move to the dining area.

They had clearly endured a long journey, and even the usually reserved Luna's eyes lit up at the mention of food.

Throne City was now rich in supplies and stable, with a peaceful environment. Andrew's rule here was much more relaxed and less oppressive than the Ludendorff family's previous reign. Because of this, the city's population, which had been drained by war, was gradually growing again.

Resources began circulating again, and you could find just about anything you needed.

Andrew had a lavish feast prepared for his guests.

Seeing how Kyrie ate and drank like a starved man, stuffing himself without restraint, Valerie snorted coldly.

She said, "Someone should watch their manners. This isn't your home."

Kyrie let out an awkward laugh and set down the chicken leg he was holding. After wiping his mouth, he turned to Andrew and spoke cautiously.

"Mr. Lloyd, thank you for your hospitality."

Andrew smiled. "No need to be so formal. You've all been working hard for our homeland, far from home. I'm from Holtrien myself, so looking after my own people is the least I can do."

Kyrie hesitated for a moment before speaking with an awkward grin. "However, I believe the relationship between the Harding family and yourself isn't exactly… friendly."

Andrew replied calmly. "I know. Sergio wanted me dead back home. So, I'll be returning soon to ask him what he meant by that, and whether he has a death wish."

Kyrie choked on a piece of chicken, and his face went pale. He glared at Andrew with a look of anger.

Conrad answered, "There were others originally. A senior military general, Mr. Marco Acosta, was traveling with us. But we got caught up in the war that swept across the entire Wastelands. General Acosta was stationed at a secret Holtrien military base, and he was discovered and died fighting for our country."

Andrew remained silent about this, as he could only offer his regret and sympathy.

Luna then said, "Actually, we've been in the Outlands for a while now. Back then, we were in the Deadlands looking for Mr. Lloyd Senior."

Andrew was surprised. "You were in the Deadlands too? I was actually there myself, but I didn't see you."

Luna's gaze was laden with implication. She glanced at Nyx, who was standing beside Andrew with a cold expression.

Then, she said, "You didn't see us, but Valerie and I both saw you then."
