Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1993

Mario shouted, "Now, come over here and get on your knees!"

Ronald trembled from pure rage and humiliation. Forcing a man to kneel was no different from slapping him across the face and spitting in his mouth. Nevertheless, with the situation pressing down on him, refusing was not an option.

He told himself that a real man knew when to bow and when to stand tall. Andrew had already caused him enough misery, and he could not let that bastard's games cost him his life as well.

"Fine!" he ground out, forcing the words past his teeth.

Mario wore a smug, mocking smile as he spread his legs apart and waited for Ronald to kneel before him.

Ronald bent his knees slightly, doing mental gymnastics and telling himself it was just like giving respect to this man's grave in advance, so what did it matter?

Then, out of nowhere, a scream ripped through the air outside.

Ronald's people and the Driscoll family forces were simultaneously alarmed and confused by the commotion.

The next moment, the Driscoll family soldiers burst in, shouting angrily, "Don't believe Ronald's lies. His reinforcements have arrived, and they're attacking our men!"

Mario exploded with rage. "Ronald, you lying piece of shit, how dare you play games with us!"

The other two martial kings also roared in anger. "You bastard, you tricked us? Go to hell!"

Ronald stepped back, his mind completely blank with confusion.

What the hell was happening?

He had genuinely been about to surrender, so how could this possibly be a trick?

Moreover, where were these supposed reinforcements coming from? He did not have any backup forces.
