Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2826

The elder's face darkened. "Ms. Reyes, this has nothing to do with money. If Mr. Lloyd's injuries were on anyone else, Mount Lourneau would certainly intervene. Saving a life is always honorable. However, because he happened to be the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, Mount Lourneau simply couldn't take the risk."

Valerie sneered. "Nothing good ever comes out of your mouth. Just because it's Andrew, Mount Lourneau can't take the risk? What? Are you saying it would bring eternal doom upon Mount Lourneau?"

The elder snorted coldly. "The Lloyd family's Dragon Prince has a sensitive status in Holtrien. His father even defected from Holtrien. If Mount Lourneau saves Mr. Lloyd, how will Mr. Vazquez and the other powers view Mount Lourneau afterward?

Because of you, Mount Lourneau might attract powerful enemies. Therefore, we must first consider our own survival. I hope you can understand."

Andrew suddenly smiled. "I can understand what you're saying, but I also have a question I'd like to ask Mount Lourneau."

The elder frowned. "Go ahead!"

Andrew smiled. "Your stance against Mount Lourneau saving me is simply because you fear Guillermo and the Divine Alchemists might eventually take their anger out on Mount Lourneau. You're afraid of them, but am I not worth fearing? If Mount Lourneau refuses to save me today, then what will happen if I recover one day? Doesn't that mean I could destroy Mount Lourneau in return?"

The elder's face changed dramatically, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Andrew. "You…"
