Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2720

Lorenzo was pushed to his absolute limit and roared in fury, "Fine! I'll give you the real Sacred Heart Method. Just don't do anything crazy."

This time, he was surprisingly straightforward, tossing Andrew a palm-sized crystal.

Andrew did not even look at it and had Eric put it away, saying, "It's the real deal. The Owens family's Sacred Heart Method is recorded on a crystal. You have to use warm water to make the text and patterns appear."

This statement left Lorenzo utterly shocked. "You bastard. H-How do you know the Owens family's secret?"

Andrew scoffed. "I can actually tell you that. Back when I was still in the organization, I had the opportunity to wipe out your family and take everything the Owens had for myself. But I didn't do it at the time because back then, our families still maintained a relationship.

"At that time, I never imagined that you and Mikayla would be such despicable people. The higher-ups didn't see it that way, though. Several times, people wanted to take you down, Lorenzo. What your family thinks of as secrets was, in my eyes back then, no different from a naked prostitute on the street corner."

Lorenzo's jaw clenched. "Fine, so what if you're right? Now, let Mikayla go."

Andrew sneered. "Sorry, not yet."

Lorenzo roared, "Andrew, you dare go back on your word?"

Before Andrew could respond, a commotion arose as a large number of military vehicles and heavy-duty SUVs arrived at the base of the Advanced Medical Institute's mountain.

The first to appear were Luna and Valerie.

Getting out of the vehicles behind them were two combat chiefs from Chetvine's Lloyd royal family.

Also present was Sheena, another top genius of the Lloyd family. Although her injuries had not completely healed, she headed straight for Jose as soon as she got out of the car.

"Mr. Castillo, I'm here to see what you've got. Let's see if you're as good as they say. I'm ready when you are."

Jose's expression was extremely ugly. "Sheena, don't get too cocky with me."

Sheena grinned, completely unconcerned. "So what if I'm cocky? You couldn't beat Alfredo, right? I survived a disaster at his hands. Today, I really don't fear you."

Jose said nothing, his fists unconsciously clenching. If it were just Sheena, he would not have paid her any attention at all. However, add the two Lloyd family combat chiefs, especially one of them carrying what looked like a hand cannon.

Jose immediately became wary.

That thing only needed one shot to seriously injure him. It was a special combat weapon used by the Lloyd family's inner leadership, specifically designed to hunt high-level martial saints up to just below martial god level. Against martial gods and above, it was not very effective.

Jose was not yet a true martial god. Even with his backup abilities, handling two Lloyd ministers plus Sheena was overwhelming. Moreover, the two military generals nearby only added more pressure.

At that moment, Andrew chuckled and pushed Mikayla forward, sending her sprawling face-first. The latter awkwardly scrambled up from the ground and ran straight to Lorenzo.

Lorenzo grabbed his daughter and immediately unsealed the meridian locks on Mikayla's body. With her strength restored, Mikayla said venomously, "Dad, kill them! Kill Andrew, quickly, do it now."

Lorenzo's mouth twitched as he shook his head. "No, we'll return to Chetvine first, then make plans."

Mikayla refused, screaming, "No! What about the humiliation and what he did to me? I want him dead right now!"

Lorenzo opened his mouth to argue, but Jose had already spoken.
