Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2729

Elaine sneered. "Think about it yourself. At the Advanced Medical Institute, you shook a whole tree of peach blossoms for both Luna and Valerie, didn't you? Andrew, you really were asking for it."

With that, Elaine stormed off.

From the looks of it, she was genuinely furious.

Andrew was completely baffled and looked at Amari. "Amari, what did I even do to get dragged into this mess?"

Amari shook his head with a heavy sigh. "Andrew, you're tangled in a web of romantic debt, and it's leading you to your doom. Finnegan is not someone to be trifled with because standing behind him is the Umbral Peak Sect, a group that straddles both good and evil."

He continued, "I've never understood why you stripped Valerie's clothes off back then. You either shouldn't have touched her at all, or you should've gone all the way and gotten her pregnant. That way, you'd enjoy yourself, you wouldn't feel wronged, and you could marry her outright. But now, they're forcing your hand, and you're helpless. What a tragedy!"

Andrew's face darkened. "I'm going to call Valerie. I need to find out what's really going on with her."

However, when he called, it showed that the line was busy. He tried again, and it was still busy.

Andrew immediately knew he had been blocked.

Back at the Advanced Medical Institute, he had flirted shamelessly with both Luna and Valerie, shaking peach blossoms left and right. He did not see anything wrong with that, and he could not understand why Valerie's reaction was so intense.

Since the calls could not get through, Andrew decided to let it go.

And just like that, the Advanced Medical Institute was now entirely under Amari's management.

…

Later, Andrew headed to the military headquarters to find Luna. He visited the Martial Tower whenever he felt like it, but he honestly could not remember the last time he stepped inside the headquarters building.

"Good afternoon, sir!"

As he passed through the high-security scanner at the entrance, two guards saluted him at once, their eyes sharp.

Andrew said calmly, "You've got the wrong guy. I'm not your officer."
