Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3245

Footsteps suddenly sounded behind Andrew, steady and unhurried. He frowned, thinking that it was Nyx or Luna. However, in the next instant, he knew it was neither of them.

Andrew spun around sharply, his gaze turning cold.

Less than 30 feet behind him stood a man with both hands hidden inside wide, flowing sleeves. He wore an uncommon loose training outfit, tall and lean, with a sallow complexion.

Only his eyes shone with sharp brilliance, clearly belonging to someone with terrifyingly deep cultivation.

"I am Pablo Hearst, the current head of the Hearst family of the Hearstlands," the man said calmly as he looked at Andrew.

Andrew took a deep breath, then let it out slowly, and extended his hand. "Come on then. I just finished warming up."

Pablo did not respond and instead studied Andrew carefully for a moment. Then, he said in a low voice, "You're injured. I can wait two days. The Hearst family never takes advantage of the wounded."

Andrew grinned. "No need. Whether I am injured or not, as long as I am not dead, I can still fight."

Pablo frowned and snorted. "You should know I am not someone Nate can be compared to. As for Wyatt, whom you just fought, he was indeed beyond my expectations, a peak martial god. But I would say I am still half a step above Wyatt. With your current injuries, fighting me will put you at a serious disadvantage."

Andrew burst out laughing as his aura surged upward. "Why so long-winded? Come on. You traveled all the way from the Hearstlands just to stop me, and for that effort alone, I owe you a proper fight right here."

Pablo replied, "If not for your methods and actions breaking the unspoken rules my Hearst family tolerates… Andrew, the Hearst family has no personal grudge against you. Besides, Franz once owed you and Reginald a great debt, so by all logic, I shouldn't be standing against you. But as I said, you crossed the line."

Andrew answered calmly, "Crossing the line or not depends on who set the line. You call it crossing because you made the rules. If I set the rules instead, then you'd be the ones considered crossing the line."
