Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1909

"Oh? And here I thought it might be someone important. Turns out it's just a mutt from the Fischer family of Blumedale."

Hank finally showed himself. Behind him, a few scantily clad women scurried out, covering their bodies as they fled.

Emily gritted her teeth. "You're disgusting. Even at the brink of death, you're still living it up. Today, you're going to pay for what you did to Hannah."

Hank sneered. "And you must be Emily, the eldest daughter of the Keller family. Not bad… definitely a knockout. And honestly, you've got way more charm than that little tramp Hannah.

"I'll give you one chance. Get the hell out of here. Otherwise, what I did to her will look like a warm-up. I'll destroy you in ways you can't imagine."

Emily's face turned red with rage. "Theo! What are you waiting for? Shut that filthy mouth of his!"

Theo scoffed. "You dare talk to my woman like that? You're dead, you bastard!"

With a sharp kick, he aimed straight for Hank's face.

Hank's coat flared as he leaned back, narrowly dodging it. However, his eyes flashed dangerously, and he immediately fired a counter-kick toward Theo's chest.

Emily watched anxiously from the side, her palms slick with sweat.

The fight erupted inside the villa. She wanted to send in backup, but Theo waved them off.

"Relax, Emily. I got this mutt all on my own." He was full of confidence.

Before long, their struggle moved from inside the villa to the outdoor lawn.

Hank was furious. "Originally, I was going to go easy on you since you're from the Fischer family, but since you don't know your place, you can go screw yourself!"

The aura around his body suddenly surged dramatically.

He closed in, swept his leg low, and smashed it against Hank's knee. With a crack, Hank screamed in pain and dropped to one knee. Theo pressed his advantage and kicked Hank hard in the chin.

Hank cried out as his body flipped and crashed to the ground. However, as he hit the ground, his body immediately bounced back up, his eyes now blood red.

"Theo, Emily… You damn mutts, you forced me to do this!" Looking ferocious, Hank pulled out a syringe and jabbed it hard into his chest.

A low, thunderous rumble echoed from inside his body, muscles swelling and veins bulging unnaturally. His aura exploded, skyrocketing straight to the peak of the martial king realm.

Theo's face twisted in horror. "Everyone, attack together! Now!"

His men surged forward.

Yet, it was useless. Hank's fists tore through the air like cyclones. With one sweeping spin, he sent a storm of force crashing through the group.
