Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2082

Looking at the tears on Rowan's face and her genuinely radiant smile, Andrew found himself somehow flustered.

He quickly turned his head away and asked, "How did you end up getting captured and brought to the McDaniel family?"

Rowan shook her head rapidly. "Don't worry about me! Get out of here quickly, then leave the McDaniel family estate immediately! Henry's here too. If he discovers you, you're dead!"

Andrew waved his hand dismissively. "I'm fine for now. I heard your argument with Eugene earlier. Rowan, tell me the truth. Do the Onyx Serpents need help?"

Rowan froze, then gave a bitter smile. "The Onyx Serpents aren't what they used to be. I'm just leading the survivors around with no place to call home. Honestly, telling you this changes nothing. Andrew, just go. As for what you heard earlier, forget it. I'll be fine."

Andrew frowned. "I'm serious. You're in trouble, aren't you? Do you need help?"

Rowan's pale face stiffened. "And I'm serious too. I said I'm fine. Even if I weren't, I don't need you risking yourself. Got it? Just worry about your own safety!"

Andrew could not help but laugh in frustration. "I can help you, understand? I already saw Eugene's true colors just now. He's forcing you to become his woman, and you don't want to. If that's the case, then just leave this place. Take the Onyx Serpents people and go."

Rowan sneered. "You make it sound so easy. The entire burden of the Onyx Serpents is on my shoulders now. Either we disband on the spot, or where else can I go?"

Her face dimmed, her tone dripping with self-mockery. "Even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't. Eugene won't let me go, and neither will the McDaniels. Eugene wants me, and the McDaniel family wants to swallow the Onyx Serpents whole."

Andrew fell silent.

Both Rowan and the Onyx Serpents were nothing but prizes to the McDaniels. Moreover, Rowan herself was born with winter's essence.

She was a treasure to martial artists, as absorbing her essence would double their cultivation results.

"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" Seeing Andrew's somewhat strange expression, Rowan instinctively covered her chest.
