Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2975

Garal shook his head. "Prescott, with your status, you can have any woman you want. Why ruin your dignity over something so trivial?"

Prescott sneered. "Uncle, you're wrong. This isn't trivial at all. A woman I set my eyes on is someone I'll find a way to claim. Besides, do you really think a woman like Nyx is common? Across the Outlands, beautiful women are everywhere, but beautiful martial gods who are also assassins are rare. If I can win Nyx over and make her serve the family, Father will surely think of me differently."

Garal laughed. "If you truly managed to pull Nyx into the Ludendorff family. Raiden would probably name you the top successor on the spot."

Prescott burst into laughter, his face full of ambition and anticipation. "It's happening very soon… It's practically a done deal. Uncle, arrange a banquet. Later, I want to host Nyx properly."

Garal nodded and smiled. "I'll also take the opportunity to probe Dragonfang's people a bit more."

…

From within Abyss City, looking outward, the land stretched into endless open wilderness.

Franz said joyfully, "Andrew, your decision was right. If we can truly take this city and gain even a little breathing room, then we could become a major power in the Wastelands. At least, as long as the Cathedral doesn't launch a full-scale assault, we can remain undefeated."

Knox said admiringly, "Unbelievable. I never thought I'd own a city someday. Damn… Even though Dragonfang is well-known and everyone talked about us, we could only hide and scrape by. But this is a major city, a symbol of power and status in Outlands."

He laughed and suddenly asked, "Petra, did you ever think that we could become city lords and big bosses?"

Petra simply smiled. He was not good with words, but the happiness and excitement on his face were obvious to anyone.

Juno looked at Andrew and asked, "Andrew, are you alright?"

Andrew bandaged his wound, grinning. "Of course not! That stab Nyx gave me nearly killed me!"
