Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2798

Another full day had already passed since Andrew had left Chetvine.

"Alright, time's up."

Inside the Lloyd family base, Donovan slowly opened his eyes as he rose from his chair. He was already 80, and although his martial skills had long stopped advancing, the sharp light in his gaze was still intimidating.

"Stick to the rules. Inside Chetvine, we don't make a move. But outside Chetvine? Kill anyone from the Cunningham family or the Harding family on sight. Remember, I want their heads taken off, not just wounds or warnings. I want all three Lloyd combat divisions going all out and wiping out everyone tied to those two families."

His voice sounded calm and even. It was not vicious, nor did it drip with hatred. It was as if he were simply discussing a routine task. Yet, only the ten division heads who had served Donovan for decades could truly sense the tidal wave of fury burning under that calm exterior.

Guillermo had already been quietly targeting the Lloyd royal family for a long time. However, Donovan never publicly confronted him for two reasons.

First, Guillermo mainly aimed his hostility at Reginald and Andrew. In Holtrien, Reginald had long been branded a traitor who had fled the continent and lived in exile. In other words, the public believed he had no ties to the Lloyd family anymore.

As for Andrew, he had left the organization, so technically, he was not considered part of the Lloyd family either.

The Cunningham and Harding families both stepped in openly. They even sent someone at the pre-martial god level to hunt Andrew down.

That was blatant oppression and pure disrespect.

Andrew had already been chosen as the next head of the Lloyd royal family. So, where did that leave the Lloyd family if Guillermo dared to do this?

One of the division heads spoke in a low voice. "Patriarch Donovan, the assassination unit has already left Chetvine. Taking out people from the Cunningham and Harding families is important, but not the top priority. Andrew and Sheena's safety comes first."
