Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3333

Andrew smiled. "You're right. Harmony Sect is just a group of weak women who can't help much. Then may I ask, Elder, are you a woman disguised as a man, or something else mixed in among them?"

Giovanni flew into a rage and finally realized he had walked straight into Andrew's trap. His face turned red as he snapped, "I am a man, not a woman, and certainly not a woman in disguise."

Andrew shrugged. "But just now, Elder, you were the one who said the Harmony Sect was nothing but women."

Giovanni was furious. "You…"

Dorothy shot Giovanni a sharp look.

Although her gaze was stern, to outsiders it still looked charming and alluring, as if she were flirting rather than scolding him.

Andrew sneered inwardly. That Dorothy was skilled, no question about that. She was working her magic every second without even trying. Unfortunately, it just did not work on him.

"Mr. Lloyd, please forgive my disciple for speaking out of turn," Dorothy said, offering Andrew a graceful, apologetic smile.

Then, she continued, "But as Elder Cantino pointed out, the women of Harmony Sect are not fighters. Even if we wanted to help, what could we possibly do down there?"

Andrew's tone stayed even. "Madam Fontaine, you're selling yourself and your sect far too short. Harmony Sect is one of the Eight Ancient Sects. Everyone knows what you're capable of, so there's really no need for the humility act."

Dorothy smiled brightly, her eyes locking onto Andrew's with a glimmer that was anything but subtle. "My, my… To think Mr. Lloyd holds us in such high regard. I'm genuinely flattered."

The flirtation in her eyes was completely unmasked. However, Andrew held her gaze without flinching, without so much as a flicker of reaction.

That caught Dorothy off guard on the inside. He was young, sharp, and full of energy, and yet he was sitting there completely unfazed by her.

His reputation, it turned out, was well earned.

Dorothy let out a small sigh, as though she were reluctantly backing down. "Mr. Lloyd, I know you're a man who means what he says and doesn't waste time. Since you've come all the way to Harmony Sect, I suppose refusing to join the fight for Holtrien really isn't an option anymore, is it?"
