Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2688

Faced with such an intimidating display, Andrew remained completely unfazed and even smiled. "Koda, he's just a kid. Why do you need to push him to the edge? Jovan, right? Get lost. Don't get in the way of us partying."

As he spoke, Andrew shot a glare at the already shell-shocked Jovan. The latter jolted as if he had been shocked and quickly retreated. He was as pale as a sheet.

Koda continued to stare at Andrew, his gaze still ice-cold. No one else in the hall said a word, and the atmosphere grew heavy with tension.

Eric slowly straightened up with a cold grin. If these men rushed Andrew now, that would almost be convenient for him. He could just slaughter the whole place and then pay a visit to Corbin and the Owens family tomorrow, wiping them out too.

That was his style: kill first, skip the talking.

Might as well slaughter them all. Then tomorrow, they could kill Corbin and the Owens family, too.

Koda suddenly chuckled. "Your strike was pretty impressive."

Then, he dropped back into his seat like nothing had happened, switching moods as easily as a flip. "It's just as expected of someone from Chetvine's royal family. Come on, let's keep drinking. I wouldn't argue with some kid. I was just messing with him earlier. I'm sorry you had to see that."

The men clinked their glasses again, the loud clatter echoing through the hall as they resumed drinking.

Yet the air remained awkward, and anyone with half a brain could feel it.

Koda acted as if he were all laughs and good spirits with Andrew, but the people who knew him, especially his junior apprentices, were already sure of one thing.
