The moment Luther led Andrew out of Harmony Cavern, Harlan, Noel, and the apprentices guarding the entrance stiffened in shock before hurrying over in excitement.
"Mr. Johnston!"
"Greetings, Mr. Johnston!"
Luther Johnston, the top of the Titan List and the head of Mount Lourneau, was practically a living legend in Holtrien, and to the apprentices, he was no different from a god.
He chuckled softly and said, "Alright, alright, stand up. No need for all the formality."
Despite his title, Luther looked kind and approachable.
Valerie rushed straight into Andrew's arms and hugged him tightly. "You scared me to death. If anything had happened to you, I wouldn't have kept living."
She sounded like a frightened girl, her words painfully sincere.
Andrew felt his heart warm as he smiled. "Don't worry. I won't leave you, Valerie."
Valerie's pretty face flushed red, but she was not embarrassed. Instead, she boldly sized up Luther.
"So you're the head of Mount Lourneau, Mr. Luther Johnston? You were hiding in there, and if anything had happened to my man, I would've torn Mount Lourneau apart."
Luther stroked his beard and chuckled. "Your temper is just like Finnegan's, quick to anger and explosive. Don't worry. Your beloved will be just fine."
Roman stepped forward. "Luther!"
Luther nodded. "Roman, thank you for holding things together during my seclusion. Later, come to the Hall of Virtue. I have something to discuss with you."
One spoke first. "Mr. Johnston, we've done everything we can for the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, but the situation isn't good."
Another elder added, "Since you're out of seclusion now, I think it's time we discussed certain matters openly."
Roman hid a smirk and chimed in, "You're back now, so everything at Mount Lourneau should be handled by you. As for this matter, I don't even know where to begin."
Luther frowned slightly. "What is it that you all want to say?"
The first elder glanced at Andrew before continuing. "I believe Mount Lourneau is unable to save the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince."
The moment he finished, Valerie exploded. "You crusty old bastard, who do you think you are? Are you saying Mount Lourneau can't heal Andrew because you're afraid we can't afford the price? Just say the number! The Reyes family can buy your entire sect if that's what it takes!"

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Rising from the Ashes (Andrew)
The author is insanely inconsistent with Christina's character. She was loyal enough to withstand torture until she fainted, and refused to call Andrew when she was kidnapped (even though it was out of a misplaced sense of protectiveness due to her lack of trust in him). This shows that despite her family being trash (other than Dougals), she is at least a good peson at heart. Then she suddenly turns into someone spiteful and evil simply because the author is no longer intersted in patching them back up, and has decided to set him up with Lauren and Fran. That's his choice, but at least be consistent....
