Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3335

Valerie quickly said, "Honey, you can't agree to this. Charlotte is definitely up to something. There's no way this is as simple as it sounds, and we shouldn't fall for it."

Nyx followed immediately. "Exactly, honey, we don't agree. If it comes down to it, we'll just fight. I don't believe they would dare refuse."

A cold glint flashed through Dorothy's eyes, though her voice remained calm. "Harmony Sect may be entirely women, but if we're pushed too far, we won't hesitate to fight back, even if it means bloodshed."

Andrew felt a chill in his heart. Dorothy was indeed difficult to handle. If she had acted like Monty or Julius and resorted to force right away, it would have been easier for him to simply overpower her.

Dorothy was a different kind of problem entirely.

Jerome whispered, "Andrew, I strongly advise against agreeing to this. Everyone knows Harmony Sect's techniques are unlike anything else; strange, unpredictable, and designed to get under your skin in ways you won't see coming. Even with your level of skill, if they hit you from an angle you're not expecting, it could go sideways fast."

Dorothy did not seem the least bit anxious. She smiled and said, "Take all the time you need, Mr. Lloyd. If not today, then tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then next month. The Harmony Sect isn't going anywhere, and as I've already mentioned, cultivating with Charlotte won't do you any harm whatsoever. If anything, it'll actually give your martial growth a boost."

Giovanni chimed in with a smirk, "Mr. Lloyd, you're a man who has torn through every obstacle in your path without breaking a sweat. Surely you're not actually intimidated by a sect full of women?"

Everyone in the room could see exactly what he was doing. It was a blatant attempt to goad Andrew into reacting.

Eric did not miss a beat. "You know, Elder, every other word out of your mouth is something about the women of Harmony Sect. Honestly, I'm starting to wonder, are you actually a man? Maybe just take it off and prove it so we can all move on."

Giovanni shot to his feet. "What did you just say?"

It was the second time in one sitting that he had been hit with that particular insult, and it stung twice as hard the second time around. He was a man, very much so. In fact, he had spent years harboring private ambitions over every female disciple in Harmony Sect, including Dorothy herself and the highly sought-after Charlotte.
