Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2763

At that moment, Lorenzo's phone rang with a call from Mikayla. He frowned slightly as he picked up the call.

"What is it? If it's not important, stop calling me right now. I'm in the middle of something extremely urgent here." Lorenzo's voice was rushed and stern.

Mikayla asked curiously from the other end, "Dad, who exactly are all these big shots that showed up? Can I come over and see for myself? Don't worry. I promise I'll stay in the back and just take a quick look."

Lorenzo snapped back, "Nonsense! Do you think this is some kind of game? You can't be seen, not even for a second. Otherwise, the Owens family might disappear from Chetvine tomorrow without anyone knowing why. Stay home, don't go anywhere, and don't mention a single word of this outside. Got it?"

Mikayla pouted. "Got it… But Dad, isn't all of this a bit much just to hunt down Andrew?"

Lorenzo let out a cold laugh. "You know far too little, my foolish daughter. Don't try to pry anything out of me. There are things I could say, but you wouldn't even believe them."

With that, he hung up immediately. Mikayla was wonderful in almost every way, yet she sometimes lacked boundaries and awareness. Tonight's gathering was monumental, and as the head of the Owens family, he was only one step away from elevating the Owens name into a true powerhouse.

But here, at this estate, he could only serve drinks like a lowly attendant. Actually, besides serving refreshments, he occasionally had to valet cars as well. Although, to be fair, most of the parking duty fell to Jose.

"Everyone's finally here. Lorenzo, tell me, with this many leaders gathered, how many rounds do you think we could survive if they decided to attack us?" Jose grinned as he asked.

Lorenzo gave Jose a look like he was staring at an idiot. "What do you think? Any single big shot here today could wipe us out effortlessly if they wanted to."

Jose clenched his fists and muttered coldly, "One day, I'm going to be like them. No… I'm going to be like Julius, the head of the Divine Alchemists, a god among men. When he travels, he has over ten martial emperor-level guards protecting him."

He continued, "With a single command, he could easily crush a top-tier faction. Even the power clans of Chetvine are nothing special in his eyes. Lorenzo, don't you think that's how a real man should live?"
