Roman believed that as long as he could break through to the martial god level, he would thrive wherever he went from then on. Taking a deep breath, he walked toward the path down Mount Lourneau without looking back.
Inside the grand hall, Luther sat in the center, watching Roman's fading silhouette. Anger and disappointment mixed in his voice as he sighed, "You brought this upon yourself. No one can save you now."
Roman had not even reached Mount Lourneau's gate when two people blocked his path. His eyes widened in shock the moment he recognized them.
"Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Reyes, what are you doing here?"
He noticed the massive sword resting on Andrew's shoulder, and his voice instinctively grew more cautious and tense.
Valerie crossed her arms and smirked. "Mr. Lawrence, are you heading down the mountain?"
Roman snorted coldly. "I'm going down to handle some business. Do you have a problem with that?"
Valerie pursed her lips. "I don't, but Andrew has something he'd like to ask you."
Roman looked at Andrew with a stiff smile. "Don't tell me your energy core, meridians, and injuries all healed overnight?"
To his surprise, Andrew nodded. "Yes, they're all healed!"
Roman frowned, then laughed mockingly. "Stop lying. Your injuries can never be healed. However, I'm quite curious why you two are waiting for me here so early in the morning. Is there something you need?"
Andrew replied coolly, "Yes, there is. I want to borrow something from you."
Roman snorted coldly. "What thing?"
Andrew's icy tone irritated him.
"Your head!" Andrew stated bluntly.
The large sword in his hand whooshed through the air as he struck out.
He looked up at Andrew in horror and exclaimed, "H-How are you this strong? Have your injuries and strength all recovered?"
That was exactly what Roman wanted to know. His face twisted with disbelief because it simply made no sense.
How could the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince become this strong in a single night? It was something unheard of.
Roman himself was already at the martial emperor level, one of the top three elders on the mountain. That was also why Luther had invested so much in him.
Yet, Andrew had crushed him in two exchanges, and he had clearly held back from killing him.
A chilling thought exploded inside Roman's mind.
Could it be that Andrew had already possessed martial god-level power?
Thunder roared through his thoughts, shaking him to the core.

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....
