Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3200

Eric's body stiffened, feeling a moment of shock and awe. Skylar was dead just like that.

This was a man from the Nieves family in the Sylvan Peaks; the very reason Eric had been hesitant to act was his fear of Skylar's formidable background.

Yet now, Andrew had killed him as easily as stepping on an ant. Moreover, the severity of the situation went far beyond that. Killing was strictly forbidden within the Martial Tower. If a death occurred without a legitimate reason, it would inevitably lead to a military tribunal.

Holtrien had countless martial artists, but none dared to openly defy or challenge the military, the nation's most powerful institution. Even someone as notoriously arrogant as Julius still avoided the military when he came to Chetvine.

Jerome stepped forward quickly and said gravely, "Andy, we should return to the Lloyd family estate first. This matter is bound to cause a storm. If we prepare ourselves before going to war with Guillermo, our chances of winning will be much better."

Andrew shook his head. "It's just one dead guy. There's no need for any war. Besides, Guillermo is nothing. He's not worth calling it a war!"

That indifferent, dismissive tone even stunned Jerome. In his mind, Andrew was not some lawless, arrogant fool who thought too highly of himself.

So, why did he sound so reckless?

Just then, someone noticed the commotion inside. It was one of Skylar's lackeys, and upon looking, he saw that Skylar was dead.

He immediately let out a terrified scream and ran. "Murder! There's been a murder here! Someone, come quick!"

Bryan exploded with rage. "How dare you say something like that at a time like this! All three of you here on the scene are coming with me. If you dare object, I will resort to extreme measures."

A cold glint flashed in Andrew's eyes as his hand shot out. Before Bryan could even react, Andrew grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the ground.

"I-I'm warning you, put me down! What do you think you're doing? Laying hands on a military officer within the Martial Tower? Even if you're from a royal family, you'll face severe consequences!"

The observing trainees and martial artists erupted in an uproar. Most of those present did not recognize Andrew, as they were primarily a new generation of martial artists who had come to the Martial Tower to hone their skills. They had not yet had the chance to learn about the legend from years past.
