Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2681

Andrew said bluntly, "Corbin killed Mr. Avila. Right now, Mr. Thornton and I can only come to you, Koda. But if you don't welcome us, then we'll just go to Corbin instead. Since we don't have many options, we'll go wherever that welcomes us."

Koda froze in shock, but he quickly exclaimed excitedly, "Milo is dead? Gentlemen, welcome! My strength may be limited, but if you help me secure the director's seat, then the reward afterward will be yours for the choosing."

Jerome chuckled. "There isn't anything I want. I'll follow Mr. Lloyd's lead."

Koda instantly shifted his gaze to Andrew, feeling a chill run down his spine as he realized that even Jerome, the former leader of the Southern Martial Union, listened to this man.

Moreover, with that Lloyd family's mysterious martial emperor expert lurking somewhere, Andrew's hidden power was truly formidable.

Fortunately, he had not offended Andrew. Hence, he felt that currently, all the advantages were tilting in his favor.

Andrew smiled. "Koda, since I've already come to your side, naturally, I'm going to help you secure the director's position. However, the reward I ask for afterward won't be small, so you'd better be prepared."

Koda waved his hand. "Just name it. Gold, rare resources, high-grade elixirs; the Advanced Medical Institute has everything. I can even offer cultivation partners or rare techniques."

Andrew shook his head. "Those are nice, but they don't interest me much. The Institute is famous for its alchemists, and I'm not asking for much. Just let me take 20 alchemists with me afterward."

Koda's expression changed, and he immediately refused. "Absolutely not! The Institute had only a little over 100 alchemists, and the rest were apprentices. You know how difficult and expensive it is to train even one alchemist. You're basically asking for our entire foundation!"

Andrew gave him a faint, amused smile. "But you just said I could take whatever I wanted. Yet now you're backing out. It seems your sincerity isn't quite there."
