Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2677

The two martial saints behind Corbin suddenly sprang into action. With vicious expressions on their faces, they went straight for Milo with killing intent.

Milo felt true despair wash over him as he let out an anguished howl, "Corbin, may you die a terrible death!"

Quinn screamed along with him, "Dad! Let me go, Lennox! You animal, you're nothing but a beast!"

Milo fought desperately, managing to exchange one blow with the two Martial Saints. But then, a violent gust of wind came from behind him. Before he could turn around, a sharp spike pierced straight through his chest. It stabbed through his back and went out the front.

A couple of choked, broken sounds escaped Milo's throat. Then, he collapsed onto the ground, his eyes wide open in death. Those glassy eyes reflected Corbin's emotionless face and the spike he calmly wiped clean, the very weapon that had ended Milo's life.

"No!" Quinn completely broke down, collapsing to the ground as she wailed, "Dad, no…"

Corbin ordered his subordinates, "Throw the body off the cliff and clean up all the blood. We can't let anyone in the Institute find out, or it'll cause panic and unrest."

Quinn's eyes turned red as she screamed hoarsely, "Corbin, Lennox… You heartless father and son! I swear I won't let you get away with this!"

Corbin frowned slightly and said to Lennox, "Handle it as you see fit."

Lennox let out a sleazy laugh. "She's just a worthless bitch anyway. She can't threaten you at all, Dad. Just keep her around for me as my personal toy!"

Corbin replied flatly, "Don't go too far with it. Ms. Owens is watching all of this from above."

Lennox flinched and immediately backed away from Quinn, his face filled with disgust. "You're just a worn-out whore who's been passed around. Get lost! If Ms. Owens gets mad at me because of you, I'll kill you myself.

Quinn survived only because of that. Milo's body had already been tossed off the cliff, and she cried so hard she could barely walk. Even so, she still forced herself to escape because pure survival instinct pushed her to get as far from Corbin and Lennox as possible.

…

At this point, Corbin began to worry as well.

Lorenzo swiftly decided, "We must be on guard. Even if we disregard Koda's side, we need to watch out for the Lloyd family's people."

Corbin was surprised. "Mr. Owens Senior, with the position already secured, is that really necessary?"

Lorenzo snapped, "Grand Elder, you don't understand how dangerous the Lloyd royal family is. Even if their hidden expert is a martial emperor, I'm not afraid. But I'm worried Andrew might come. That kid is nothing but trouble. Wherever he shows up, disaster follows."

Then, Lorenzo suddenly froze and blurted out, "Damn it, Mikayla went to look for Jerome. If Andrew shows up and runs into her, something could go very wrong."

Without waiting for Corbin's reaction, Lorenzo shot off immediately to chase after Mikayla.
