Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3259

Trevor's failure to arrive made Guillermo deeply uneasy. Inside his private estate, he paced back and forth, his agitation growing by the second.

As Lorenzo watched the minutes slip away, he realized something was likely wrong.

He said, "Mr. Vazquez, I do not think we can keep waiting. You said the Thunder Sect sent a martial god-level elder. If that's true, then entering Chetvine should have been easy, and he should've arrived long ago. However, he still hasn't shown up, which means something must've gone wrong along the way."

Guillermo said coldly, "Damn it! What could've gone wrong? Who could possibly stop someone of Trevor's strength? Let's wait a little longer. Without Trevor's support, I have no confidence in killing Andrew."

Lorenzo was stunned.

This was the first time he had ever heard Guillermo say something so pessimistic. In the past, Guillermo had seemed capable of anything, bending the world to his will.

The words "no confidence" were something Lorenzo never believed he would hear, even if the sky were falling.

Lorenzo felt conflicted. Watching Guillermo pace anxiously, hands behind his back, he thought to himself that perhaps he had been blind before.

He had always seen Guillermo as omnipotent. Now, he realized that this man who stirred up storms was not as unfathomable as he had imagined.

Guillermo also had moments of furious helplessness, moments where he could only grit his teeth and do nothing.

Lorenzo thought perhaps it was time for him to think about securing a safer way out for himself. If following Guillermo truly led to ruin, what would he do then?

Lorenzo's gaze darkened as he quietly planned an escape plan.

"Mr. Vazquez, something's happened!" Jose rushed in, clearly panicked.

Guillermo turned sharply and said urgently, "What is it? Speak. Was Trevor intercepted by the Lloyd royal family, or forced to retreat?"

Jose gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
