Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2064

When the second strike came, Henry's eyes filled with terror, and he did not dare take it head-on. Instead, he leaped away, his figure flickering several times as he fled the scene.

His bitter voice echoed back through the night. "Just you wait, Andrew!"

Andrew remained unmoved and turned to look at the blue-eyed woman before him. Her facial features looked like she was from Holtrien. However, her blue eyes clearly marked her as mixed-blood.

Seeing Andrew studying her, Cordelia giggled sweetly and bowed gracefully, very demure. "I'm Cordelia Bourne. Thank you so much for saving me, handsome. I'm mixed-race. Do you like my eyes? Why don't you come closer for a better look?"

Her voice was bright and clear, like a songbird. Combined with her innocent smile, it was almost impossible not to be drawn in.

Andrew, as if under a spell, began stepping toward her.

The smile on Cordelia's face grew brighter. However, it turned cold as the dagger in her hand thrust viciously toward Andrew.

Andrew raised his hand and slapped her dagger away with a single strike. At the same time, he grabbed her throat and lifted her off the ground.

Cordelia struggled to breathe, her eyes wide with shock. "Y-You were only pretending earlier?"

Andrew smirked. "With such cheap tricks, you thought you could seduce me? Silly girl, you must still be dreaming. Now, you will answer whatever I ask."

Cordelia gritted her teeth. "Forget it, I will never tell you anything. If you have the guts, just kill me."

Andrew smiled. "Sure, then die!"

He slammed a fist into her forehead, and Cordelia looked shocked before collapsing unconscious with a thud.

Eric frowned. "Why spare her?"

Andrew hoisted Cordelia over his shoulder and said quickly, "Let's go find somewhere to lay low. Shiloh's probably not at the Majestic Hotel anymore, and that guy from before was strong and smart. He tricked everyone, drawing all the factions to the hotel while secretly moving Shiloh elsewhere."

Eric thought for a moment. "So you plan to use this woman to find out where?"

Andrew nodded. "Exactly. Once we get back, you can use Phantom Mirage to get the truth out of her."

Before long, under Eric's lead, they found a hideout. Andrew wasted no time and roused Cordelia back to consciousness. She opened her eyes and immediately scanned her surroundings warily.
