Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3203

Jerome snapped, "Eric, shut up. What do you know? This is called knowing how the world works. That man is a major general in the military. He has duties to uphold, but that does not mean he is not human. And besides, he knows when to bend and when to stand firm. Clearly, he will keep rising in the ranks, and his future is limitless."

As he spoke, Jerome sighed and smiled at Andrew. "Andy, that guy was actually interesting. From his attitude, it was obvious he was leaning toward you, so why not say a few nice words and build a connection with him?"

Andrew smiled and replied, "Mr. Thornton, there's no need. I understand your intention; more friends, more opportunities, right? But right now, we really don't need to be so cautious anymore. I know you're worried about Guillermo, right?"

He chuckled and added, "Very soon you'll see that Guillermo is nothing in front of me!"

Jerome smiled without replying, but he was shaken to his core.

In just two years, Andrew had truly changed drastically since his return. If it were anyone else saying these things, Jerome would just listen politely and never take them seriously.

To him, it would be nothing more than empty boasting. After all, Guillermo was undoubtedly one of Holtrien's top strategists.

However, since it was Andrew saying this, Jerome could not help but believe it. He wondered if Andrew was now powerful enough to suppress Guillermo. If that was true, Jerome did not dare to imagine it.

The Titan List might need to be revised once again.

The Owens family was the first to rush to the military headquarters. When Mikayla saw Skylar's body, she screamed and grabbed her head, nearly collapsing on the spot.

"Who did this? Who the hell did this?"

Like a madwoman, Mikayla caused a scene inside the military building.

The man at the front exuded authority without even trying. He wore a somewhat old-fashioned white shirt but no military jacket. However, within this building, even if he wore no jacket or nothing at all, everyone who saw him would still snap to attention and salute on the spot.

"General Turman!"

The newcomer was none other than the head of the military, Philip. His face was like frost as he approached Skylar's body.

After a glance, he said flatly, "Notify the Sylvan Peaks' Nieves family that the man is dead. As for a resolution, there is none. If the Nieves family wants to pursue the matter, they can come find me."

Upon hearing this, Lorenzo immediately protested angrily, "General, what's the meaning of this? Skylar was my future son-in-law, my daughter's fiance. Now he's been murdered, and you're saying they should come find you?"

Mikayla screamed alongside him, "I want to know who the murderer was! I will definitely kill him!"
