Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1920

Maurice personally stepped in, along with one of the Driscoll family's martial elders, Bradley Perkings, an expert at the peak of Martial King level. The two worked together, channeling their energy into Scarlett to stabilize her injuries.

Only after a long while did Maurice withdraw his hand and exhale sharply, his expression dark and furious.

Beside him, Bradley wiped the sweat from his brow and forced a bitter smile. "Sir, if we'd been just a moment later, Ms. Driscoll could've lost her cultivation base entirely. Our family hasn't faced a disaster this serious in years."

Maurice said nothing. His face, already grim, was even more terrifying now. With a sudden roar, he thrust out his palm.

A porcelain vase in the corner exploded with a loud crash, shattered into pieces by his strike from across the room.

Walter flinched and bowed quickly. "Please, Mr. Driscoll Senior, don't lose your temper. This isn't the time to vent. Scarlett returned from Goldridge in critical condition… This means our operation at the Southern Martial Union headquarters is all but ruined."

He added, "We need to send backup immediately, or all the benefits will fall into the hands of Henry and the McCormick family of Goldridge!"

Maurice snapped coldly, "You think I need you to remind me? I've spent years sending Scarlett to lay the groundwork at the Southern Martial Union headquarters. The goal was to weaken Jerome's hold and pave the way for our family's rise in influence across the region."

He continued, "From there, we'd grow our position and consolidate our power across the martial world. But now? Scarlett's nearly dead, and everything in Goldridge is a complete mess! Andrew… It's that Andrew again!"

He growled, "That bastard keeps ruining the Driscoll family's plans. He must die! He absolutely must die!"

Maurice's voice grew louder with every word. By the end, his eyes were bloodshot, his rage boiling over.
