Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3349

Someone in the crowd said, "Grand Elder Orson has always had a fiery temper and never backed down from a fight. Now that he's facing the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, it's hard to say who will win."

Another voice argued, "In my opinion, the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince will lose badly. No matter how gifted he is, Grand Elder Orson has been famous for decades, and in the end, experience beats youth."

"That's nonsense," someone else shot back. "I heard that over in Chetvine, even the National Advisor, Mr. Guillermo Vazquez, fell at Andrew's hands, so Grand Elder Orson might just be walking into his own downfall."

…

Meanwhile, Andrew and Orson stood atop Azure Gate, and their auras steadily rose. There were hundreds of thousands of spectators, including martial artists who had rushed in from across Holtrien, soldiers from the military, disciples from ancient sects, and members of powerful families and hidden clans.

Those who knew Andrew's true strength believed Orson was asking for humiliation, while those who did not thought that no matter how talented Andrew was, he could not possibly match Orson.

The Nieves family members in the crowd were the most confident of all, cold smirks planted firmly on their faces. Previously, Orson had been blocked from entering Chetvine to deal with Andrew, but now he could settle the score in front of nearly every major power in Holtrien.

Although a full-scale war was looming and Orson could not openly kill one of their own, they believed Andrew would at least be crippled.

Only Jeffery, Alfredo, Philip, and several sect leaders looked at Orson's aggressive posture with quiet amusement.

The old man was leaning too hard on his reputation and his years, and this time around, that wasn't going to be enough.

As for Alfredo, he was practically glowing. He had just been beaten down himself, so seeing Orson about to suffer felt deeply satisfying.

Orson shouted first, "Brat, you killed my great-grandson, Skylar, and repeatedly humiliated the Nieves family. Today, you'll pay! Die!"

He charged forward in huge strides, crossing over 100 yards in just a couple of steps. Then, he leaped into the air and threw a punch that shattered the air itself, aiming straight for Andrew's head.

A cold glint flashed in Andrew's eyes. He did not move from his spot, but instead threw out a punch of his own.
