Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2691

Andrew immediately said, "It's just a guess, so it might not be accurate. I noticed the first day I arrived at the Advanced Medical Institute that Mikayla was already meeting Lennox in secret, and she was clearly using him. She just didn't say what she wanted yet."

He added, "Come on, we're going to Bluewater Cliff right now, because there's a good chance they're plotting there again tonight."

Eric nodded quickly. "Follow me. I know exactly where Bluewater Cliff is."

A few minutes later, the two of them slipped silently through the moonlit forest and reached the deep valley behind the Advanced Medical Institute. A beautiful spring flowed from the mountains and rushed down steep slopes until it formed a fast-moving stream. Above the rushing waters, a natural stone arch bridge rose over a massive drop into a bottomless-looking gorge.

This place was Bluewater Cliff.

Andrew and Eric circled around to higher ground and looked down. Sure enough, they spotted two figures standing on the arch bridge at that very moment: Lennox and Mikayla.

Lennox spoke with deep affection. "Mikayla, after tomorrow, you'll be my wife, right?"

Mikayla responded shyly, "Oh, stop it, Lennox. I don't want to talk about that right now. You did promise me you'd do one last thing for me."

Lennox replied eagerly, "Tell me, please, just tell me already. Whatever it is, I can make it happen."

Mikayla pouted, looking absolutely adorable. "Okay, but you said it. Tomorrow, my father is going to help the Grand Elder seize the director's position. With the Grand Elder's current Martial Emperor strength, killing Koda will definitely be a piece of cake. After that, he'll become the director of the Advanced Medical Institute, the real person in charge."

Lennox panicked and soothed her quickly. "Okay, I won't say anything. I won't mention a word. Then, tell me what I'm supposed to do."

Andrew and Eric, both locked in on Mikayla's performance, leaned in with sharp concentration. Finally, the manipulative bitch was about to reveal her real motive.

Mikayla tugged Lennox's collar and spoke in a soft, sweet voice. "Lennox, after everything succeeds tomorrow, I need you to help the Grand Elder… take a nap for a while. That way, my dad can get what he deserves, and everything will turn out perfectly."

Lennox blinked in confusion. "Make my dad take a nap? You mean… drug him?"
