Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2715

Andrew did not even look up as he smiled and said, "They made it down the mountain safely, but it's still going to take most of the day to get back to Chetvine. Do you need something?"

Koda stepped closer with that same easy smile. "I just came over to check on you, and to send you off properly. Honestly, I wouldn't have taken the director's seat if it weren't for you. If you hadn't given me that life-saving pill, I probably would've died under Corbin's hand."

Andrew finally lifted his head and looked at him with a squinted smile. "I told you back then that I had a way for you to win in the end. Corbin had Lorenzo's help, and his power had skyrocketed… In a direct fight, you would've lost for sure."

He continued, "So we turned the tables by using the life-saving pill to protect your vital organs, letting Corbin put you into a state of false death, which set the stage for a comeback."

Koda laughed heartily. "You city folks sure know how to play games. Coming up with such a brilliant scheme. I'm truly impressed."

Up on the balcony, Mikayla froze in shock and anger. She finally understood that Koda's so-called resurrection had been Andrew's scheme from the start, and it was downright malicious.

Koda faked his death to fool everyone, waited until Lorenzo took out Corbin and Lennox, then popped back up and collected all the benefits.

She glared at Andrew's back, and the hatred in her eyes was obvious.

Koda made small talk for a bit longer. Then, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Lloyd, there's one more thing I need to ask you about. You said the Lloyd family sent a powerful expert. But now that everything's over, how come we haven't seen this master appear?"

Andrew chuckled. "There's no master. I'm the only one from the Lloyd family who came. Back then, it was just something the situation required me to say."

Seeing Koda about to strike, he suddenly shouted, "Mr. Lloyd, watch out! He's going to kill you!"

Koda's massive sword came crashing down with a violent rush of air, cleaving straight toward Andrew's head.

He roared, "Andrew, go to hell! I don't care if you're from the Chetvine's Lloyd royal family, I'm killing you regardless! Do you hear me? I've put up with you long enough, you son of a bitch!"

Up on the balcony, Mikayla stood frozen with wide eyes before joy exploded through her. "Do it, kill him! You're doing everyone justice by killing him!"

She never expected Andrew to end up like this. Watching him finally face a deadly end filled her with vicious satisfaction.
