Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2996

Kyrie's face flushed red, and his anger flared. "So what, you want to lay a hand on me? We are supposed to be on a mission, and now you want to turn around and hurt one of your own?"

Luna replied coldly, "Kyrie, if you keep running your mouth, I'll make sure you regret it, even if I get punished when we return home. Andrew is one of our own from Holtrien, and he's our country's hero. It seems like you can't wait for him to be dead. Ask yourself this. Are you even worthy of saying that?"

All along the journey, Luna had been silent. But now she suddenly erupted, saying so much at once, and every word carried sharp aggression.

Kyrie was stunned on the spot.

Marco gave a bitter smile. "General Turman asked me to come along precisely to keep the peace and stop the three of you from tearing each other apart. Come on now, don't be angry. We're all comrades."

Luna took a deep breath and said solemnly, "General Acosta, I know. Just now, I got too emotional. I apologize."

Then, she lowered her head and continued walking forward. Valerie, however, was not one to hold back like Luna.

She approached Kyrie and said with a threatening tone, "I know what you're thinking. You wish Andrew were dead, don't you?"

Without waiting for Kyrie to respond, she continued in an icy voice. "You'd better pray nothing happens to my man. Otherwise, when I lose it, I won't care whether you're a fellow countryman or comrade. There's not a single decent person among the Harding family. Compared to Andrew, you're nothing. If that hurts your ego, that's just too bad."

With that, she stared at Kyrie defiantly, as if to say she was ready to fight right then and there if he was not satisfied.

Kyrie roared, "Valerie, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

The two of them were at each other's throats, but then they heard Luna's low voice from ahead.

"Stop fighting! We're here!"

The four of them reached the edge and saw the black plains suddenly tear downward like a cliff before them. A massive fissure stretched across the abyss below. Inside, instead of pitch darkness, a galaxy-like blue glow emanated from within.

No one would have expected such a spectacular sight in this god-forsaken wasteland, and all four of them were stunned speechless, overwhelmed by the scene before them.
