Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2076

The door slammed shut with a bang.

Andrew and his crew slipped into an empty house. Sunstrand was nothing like Goldridge. Other than its small downtown, the place was just neighborhoods stacked one after another. Hiding here was child's play for Andrew.

Andrew leaned against the door with a smirk. "You old flame's quite a cunning fox, eh? Not only did you beat us here to Sunstrand, but he even set traps for us."

Eric sat on the bed, gasping for breath as he gritted his teeth. "I told you before, Henry isn't someone to underestimate. In fact, Henry really is a wild beast. Give him the chance, and he'll do anything and even pull it off."

Andrew shrugged. "Of course I know. That man will try anything. Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked as the McCormick family's lapdog and taken a swing at Mr. Thornton. If the McCormicks hadn't been backing him, Mr. Thornton alone could've buried him."

Eric's face darkened. "Right now, we're already exposed in Sunstrand. Finding Shiloh is going to be ten times harder. If I'm not wrong, with Callum injured, the McDaniels will be tearing this city apart to track us down."

Andrew's expression stayed calm. "Let them search. You think I'm afraid of the McDaniel family? I'll kill anyone who gets in the way of me taking Shiloh home."

From the corner came a groan.

Cordelia, the Crimson Flame Cult follower, stirred awake. Andrew had knocked her out earlier on the run because she was slowing them down.

Now, as she regained consciousness, Andrew said flatly, "Go. You're free."

Cordelia blinked in shock. "Y-You're letting me go?"

Andrew nodded. "Leave. You're useless to me now. If you stay, you'll only drag me down."

Cordelia fell silent. During the clash with the McDaniels earlier, she knew that without Andrew, she would have died as nothing more than cannon fodder.

After a long pause, she finally whispered, "Thank you… for saving my life back there."

Andrew waved her off. "Go on. The Flamebinding on you is already broken. As long as you don't crawl back to the Crimson Flame Cult, living a normal life shouldn't be hard."
