Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3189

In the evening, a Lloyd family motorcade of no less than 50 vehicles headed to the family's flagship hotel, arranged by Donovan for Andrew's welcome banquet.

Such a grand display immediately drew the attention of those who were watching.

Before long, news that the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince had returned to Holtrien and was back in Chetvine spread like wildfire, instantly causing a huge uproar and storm across the city.

Someone exclaimed, "It has been two years… and Andrew is actually alive?"

Another chimed in, "Two years ago, Guillermo organized so many forces to hunt him. Who would have thought that Andrew would survive that?"

A man sighed. "Not only did he survive, but he's returned to Chetvine in such a high-profile manner. Even an idiot can understand what that means!"

Someone scoffed. "There's no need to make it sound so dramatic. That brat barely scraped by for two years. What kind of threat could he possibly be? Fighting against someone like Guillermo, a local powerhouse? He's still far from ready!"

"That's not necessarily true. Andrew was never just an ordinary person to begin with. Now he's returned to Chetvine openly and without hiding. The fact that the Lloyd family isn't concealing his return can only mean one thing: Guillermo might really be in for serious trouble this time!"

…

Voices and debates buzzed endlessly through Chetvine.

Some insisted that Andrew could not have grown strong in just two years, while others argued that his high-profile return would sweep all before him.

Even someone as powerful as Guillermo could suffer, they said.

Nonetheless, nobody really knew how terrifying Andrew had become. They only felt that Guillermo would take a hit.

Two years ago, the Nieves family had responded to Guillermo's call and participated in the siege against Andrew and Reginald. After the failure, Lorenzo received instructions from Guillermo to arrange for Mikayla to get close to the Nieves family.

The Nieves family was a great clan comparable to the established noble families. Under the careful planning of Lorenzo and Mikayla, Skylar had eventually become infatuated with Mikayla.

Unlike Mikayla's panic, Skylar sat with his legs crossed, his suit impeccable, his shoes polished, completely nonchalant.

"Mikayla, Mr. Owens Senior, I think even if Andrew came back, it doesn't mean anything. Does he really dare to go on a killing spree in Chetvine? Besides, does he even have the ability?

"Two years have passed; that only means he's been surviving for two years. Other than that, I don't think it proves anything. Maybe he's still a weakling, still limited by his energy core injury, still completely useless."

Hearing this, Mikayla quickly asked, "Dad, what's Andrew's strength like now?"
