Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2673

Milo happily took the letter and followed the disciple away. It looked like he was heading straight to meet Corbin.

Jerome frowned and asked, "Should we stop him?"

Andrew replied coldly, "No need. Corbin lured him with a marriage alliance, so there's no doubt it's a trap."

Jerome asked, "What makes you so sure? Corbin does have a reason to win him over right now, and maybe he really wants Milo’s support."

Andrew shook his head with a cold smirk. "Mr. Thornton, the truth is much harsher than that. Corbin definitely knows Milo's real strength, which is basically nothing. Without you joining him, Milo is worthless. But you saw it yourself, Corbin didn't even mention inviting you in that letter."

He continued, "So the truth is obvious: he only wants Milo to go alone. And unless he's planning a slaughter, I can't think of any other reason."

Eric stared at him. "You're saying Corbin wants to kill Milo?"

Andrew nodded. "Exactly. Think about it: once Milo dies, you lose your foothold here in the Advanced Medical Institute. Even if you're strong, you have no official position here, so you can't interfere in anything."

He explained, "I can already picture Corbin's next move. He'll try to win you over, acting all emotional and reasonable. He'll claim Milo's death was an accident and not something he wanted. He'll beg you to support him for the sake of the Institute’s stability, and he'll promise to repay you generously afterward."

Jerome exhaled and nodded slowly. "Andy, you're probably right. In predicting schemes, you surpass me. So, what do you think I should do?"

Andrew smiled. "Nothing. We're heading straight to Koda. Corbin and Lorenzo still don't know I exist, and they also don't know you're working with me. If they knew, Corbin wouldn't have tried courting your support. So next, it's Koda and us versus Corbin and Lorenzo in a direct showdown."

Quinn instantly melted into his arms and whispered, "Lennox, I never thought you'd actually marry me. No, I never thought things would happen this fast. I owe you and the Grand Elder so much."

She continued, "Lennox, don't worry. As long as you marry me, my dad’s forces and all his people will back the Grand Elder fully."

Lennox's lips curved in a mocking, playful grin. "My dear Quinn, I owe you big. Come on, take my finger and give it a nice lick."

Quinn gasped and blushed. "Stop it, my dad is on his way. It would be so embarrassing if he saw."

However, she never saw the flash of savagery and bloodlust that crossed Lennox's face behind her. As far as he was concerned, once Milo showed up, he would be the first one going to hell.
