Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2684

Mikayla's expression grew grim as well. "Dad, you're worried about Andrew interfering, aren't you?"

Lorenzo nodded slowly. "Yes, if this guy hadn't shown up, I could easily devour the Advanced Medical Institute without even lifting a finger. I could take the whole thing without breaking a sweat. But he just won't leave us alone. He actually showed up here. Without a doubt, he must be scheming something. So I need to be fully prepared."

Mikayla growled, "Dad, I can hold off Jerome. And you can take out Andrew directly. Not many people in Chetvine know your true strength. With Mr. Vazquez covering for you, it'll have an unexpected advantage; we can definitely make Andrew suffer badly, if not kill him outright."

Lorenzo shook his head. "Unless absolutely necessary, don't engage him directly. Currently, our top priority is to achieve promotion to noble house status for the Owens family. As for everything else, we shouldn't make unnecessary, powerful enemies."

Mikayla huffed indignantly. "Dad, are you actually afraid of him?"

Lorenzo smiled. "Afraid of him? Not at all. With my third-tier martial emperor strength, I could even possibly kill him. However, the Lloyd royal family backing Andrew isn't something our family can afford to provoke just yet. Mr. Vazquez has already dealt with them before. Above all, we need to play it safe. Only when the Owens family climbs to noble house status will we have the power to truly make waves."

Mikayla smiled. "Alright then. I'll just wait to be the number one heiress of the noble house! When that happens, what will Andrew have to compete with me?"

Lorenzo was in a good mood and was about to respond when his eyebrows lifted slightly.

He turned toward the door and said, "Grand Elder, you're here, aren't you? Come in, and I'll help you break through to the martial emperor level."

The door opened, and Corbin walked in with an excited expression.

He gave Mikayla a polite nod before saying to Lorenzo, "Thank you so much, Mr. Owens Senior."
