Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2694

Lorenzo chuckled softly. "Well, we're still better off than you, Andrew, charging in overconfident and not knowing your place. Mr. Vazquez asked me to send his regards."

Andrew laughed. "You think mentioning Mr. Vazquez's name is going to scare me? Mr. Owens Senior, you really underestimate me. Let me make it simple for you: the Owens family isn't getting anything out of this unless he shows up at the Institute himself to take charge. If he does that, I'll pack up and leave without another word."

Lorenzo only smiled and said nothing else. Guillermo would never travel all the way here for something as trivial as the Institute, and Lorenzo didn't need him to. If he couldn't handle someone like Andrew, then he had no business being Guillermo's right-hand man.

Koda's fighting style was vicious and overpowering. His heavy blade whistled through the air with every swing, each strike aimed to kill, and each move meant to crush.

Corbin, however, moved sharply and swiftly, darting around as he attacked Koda's lower openings whenever he found a chance. That spot was Koda's weakness.

At the moment, the two appeared evenly matched, trading blows back and forth. For now, it was impossible to tell who would win. There was still no clear winner, which was exactly why both sides held their breath.

Eric said, "Lorenzo seems pretty confident."

Andrew shrugged. "Corbin's strength has been forcibly enhanced. Right now, he's just holding back, waiting for Koda to make a mistake before delivering a devastating final blow."

Jerome added, "It's exactly as Andy said. Even though Corbin is trying his best to restrain his attacks, the energy he's radiating already shows he's experienced a significant power boost. I didn't expect Lorenzo to have this kind of ability."

Andrew scoffed. "Forcefully boosting someone's level like this isn't common, but it's not unheard of either. Taking Corbin straight to the martial emperor level, though? That's nearly impossible."

He added, "There's no chance the Owens family did this on their own. It definitely came from Mr. Vazquez."

Eric asked, "Andrew, Corbin is already so strong. You're really that confident Koda can win?"
