Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3169

Andrew ordered another full spread of food to be served. They had been traveling nonstop, and as martial artists, their appetites were anything but small.

Conrad looked a little embarrassed, but Andrew raised his hand and told him not to overthink it. So, Conrad lowered his head again and started eating like his life depended on it.

Andrew said, "The global situation is about to shift, and we're actually going back home at a good time."

Luna replied, "Exactly, we noticed it too. Recently, people from the four Western nations have been increasingly active in the Outlands. What's more, they're openly clashing with us from Holtrien. All of these are bad signs. The main reason we evacuated was that our secret military base had already come under attack."

Andrew chose not to tell them about the Vampire Queen's awakening just yet, as that threat still felt too distant from their immediate concerns.

The forces of the West had never been something to underestimate. Holtrien had its visible military and government, but behind the scenes, it also had its ancient sects and the old powers that had survived since antiquity.

In modern times, there was also the renowned and profoundly influential Divine Dragon Order, the mysterious organization Andrew himself had joined.

All of these existed to protect the nation and its people.

They were there to counter the mysterious and powerful forces from the West, or elsewhere in the world, that ordinary people knew nothing about.

The Western nations and their alliances had always watched Holtrien with greedy eyes, leading to constant friction and conflict.

In the shadows, Dark Trinity had long acted as a supernatural force, endlessly clashing with Holtrien's ancient sects and martial elites.

When the Vampire Queen awakened, her words to Andrew pointed directly at Holtrien's ancient forces.

Andrew still did not fully understand that situation. He could only plan to investigate it more thoroughly after returning home.

The wars in the Wastelands were ultimately limited to the Outlands. What truly made people tremble was the ancient feud between the Eastern and Western continents and the hidden figures fighting behind the scenes.

Christopher was a deeply hidden big shot in Holtrien. But strictly speaking, he was not exactly unbeatable.

Holtrien was the number one Eastern power, ancient and mysterious, with countless hidden forces and legendary figures throughout history.

In the past, Andrew had neither the opportunity nor the inclination to learn about these things.

Nonetheless, things were different now. After returning home, both his status and his power destined him to become a pillar of Holtrien, standing among its very top tier. That meant he would have the right to access all sorts of classified information and buried history.

"Since you've made it to Throne City, there's no need to rush. You can all rest here for a day before we head back to Holtrien," Andrew said with a smile.

Valerie and Luna naturally agreed with bright smiles. They were eager to reconnect intimately with Andrew. After all, absence would indeed make the heart grow fonder, and they had missed him terribly.
