Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2856

"You mentioned Petyr Gillen. How can I meet him?" Andrew pressed on.

Jimmy's legs were broken, blood pooling around him. Yet, the man's vitality was impressive. He was still writhing on the ground.

He scoffed. "You? A lowly outsider like you has no right to meet Mr. Gillen. City of Hope has a hundred thousand people. But those who can actually meet him? Less than ten. Especially since you're a disgusting pest from Holtrien… He despises Holtriens the most!"

He hissed, "But don't worry. You won't have to wait long. Since you dared lay a hand on me, Mr. Gillens will have your head mounted on the city gates before you know it!"

Andrew smiled. Jimmy still had the nerve to threaten him, even now. Clearly, he had not been ruthless enough since arriving in this place. Otherwise, a crawling insect with broken legs would not still be barking like this.

"Are you sure I really can't meet him?" Andrew asked, as if confirming one last time.

Jimmy, bleeding out and barely conscious, still managed to crane his neck and snarl, "You're nothing but scum. You'll never be worthy. Death is all that's waiting for you!"

Andrew nodded. "Got it. Thanks for telling me all that. I know it hurts. Let me put you out of your misery."

Jimmy thought for a moment that Andrew was going to save him or beg for mercy. Instead, he watched as Andrew's boot came down on his skull.

And just like that, Jimmy went to meet the God he claimed to worship.

Toby, watching from the side, finally cracked. He let out a shriek and passed out cold.

Andrew spat on the ground. Killing these cruel animals did not stir even a shred of guilt in him.

Razor Crew had thousands of members, but only a handful were stationed here at headquarters.

Cruelty, mass slaughter, and bloody crackdowns were merely the baseline.

A furious voice echoed through the streets. "Search the entire city. Find that damn Holtrien bastard at all costs. Fuck. Holtrien people sure have guts, causing chaos here."

"Come to think of it, this is the first time anything like this has happened in the City of Hope."

Another voice scoffed. "That guy is dead for sure. This is the City of Hope. Crossing Mr. Gillen? That's worse than meeting the Grim Reaper. Give it a day, and his head'll be hanging from the city gates."

"I'll say this, though… The bastard's got guts. He blew Razor Crew's headquarters sky-high! That's basically slapping Mr. Gillen in the face and spitting on the higher-ups!"

While the entire city was in an uproar over Razor Crew's destruction, Andrew, wrapped in a black cloak with his greatsword strapped to his back, walked through the doors of Night Rose once again.
