Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3175

The towering Azure Gate gradually appeared in the distance. After circling twice, the helicopters descended toward the ground.

Franz had already obtained permission to enter the border in advance. Therefore, Andrew's party arrived directly inside the gate.

The military garrison at Azure Gate stepped forward to salute. "General Hearst, welcome back!"

Franz held the rank of Major General in the military.

After returning the salute, Franz said, "This is the leader of the Dragonfang organization. The Dragon Prince of Holtrien's Lloyd family, Mr. Andrew Lloyd!"

That soldier's expression turned fervent as he snapped another salute. "Mr. Andrew Lloyd, welcome home."

The soldiers behind him also stared at Andrew with burning eyes, unable to stop looking.

Nyx whispered with a smile, "Honey, you seem to be quite the celebrity in your country. You can tell just by their reactions."

Andrew nodded to each of those soldiers as a gesture of acknowledgment, then headed toward Swordhaven Keep. Not many people knew about his return home this time, but those who wanted to know only needed to put in a little effort to find out.

For instance, Guillermo, that old fox who ranked first on Holtrien's Titan List.

Then again, so what if they knew he was back?

Andrew wanted Guillermo to know that he was coming for him, and there was nothing Guillermo could do about it; there was no escape.

Swordhaven Keep was the gateway to Holtrien's Eastern Regions. Its leader was the famous Sword Saint, Alfredo Topsfield, the most self-important person in Holtrien's martial world. He had once been determined to compete with Reginald. After being thoroughly crushed, his confidence was shattered. Later, turned to colluding with Guillermo and others to attack and kill Reginald, but they still failed.

Alfredo was arrogant and insufferable, just like the sword in his hand, always believing himself to be in a league of his own. Of course, Alfredo had the strength to back up his arrogance, but unfortunately, in Andrew's eyes, he was no longer worthy.

Swordhaven Keep was as ostentatious as ever, with many visitors paying their respects daily.

Andrew, with his three women, plus Franz, Conrad, and Kyrie, walked straight through the main gate.

A gatekeeping disciple asked in a demanding tone, "You there, state your business. Who are you here to see?"

Andrew did not even glance at him, replying flatly, "I'm here to see Alfredo Topsfield. I've come to ask if he's ready for his death."

Nyx and the other ladies remained unfazed, but Conrad and Kyrie's Adam's apples bobbed as their hearts filled with shock.

After all, Jericho was no pushover. Yet with just one slap, he was knocked out cold.

It was unbelievable how strong Andrew had become!

Before long, the group reached the center of the great hall. At the far end, one man sat elevated, chatting idly with some visiting dignitaries from the Eastern Regions. His manner showed both superiority and impatience, as if merely going through the motions.

It was the famous master of Swordhaven Keep, Alfredo!

The moment Andrew stepped into the great hall, Alfredo casually glanced over. Then, it met Andrew's own eyes, which held a faint, mocking smile.

Alfredo instantly shifted from his relaxed posture to sitting up straight. The impatience and casualness on his face vanished at once, replaced by a grim expression. His right hand also immediately gripped the longsword at his side.

"Everyone else, get out now! That's it for today!" Alfredo shouted sternly.

Yet unknown to others, there was a trace of panic in it. He knew the visitor came with ill intent, and Swordhaven Keep was about to face a catastrophe.
