Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3058

The founder of The Coven of Heavenly Radiance was none other than Vance Titoria. He was Eastonia's most exceptional prodigy, the kind of talent others were born chasing.

Across the Eastern Continent, Vance's name carried weight in many fields, and his reputation was widely known. Only in Holtrien was his name rarely mentioned.

The reason was simple: Holtrien already had more than enough geniuses, leaving no room for Vance to throw his weight around.

This time, with the opening of The Veiled Paradise, Vance had led his people to the Outlands after hearing the news. Seeing that the Outlands had descended into complete chaos, with the Cathedral's army sweeping through victoriously while the old-guard powerhouse, the Ludendorff family, retreated again and again, Vance's ambition was instantly ignited.

He naturally would not pass up the golden opportunity and continuously conquered territory throughout the Wastelands, eventually establishing The Coven of Heavenly Radiance.

He himself became the organization's leader.

"Iridessa, what do you make of Andrew's people showing up like this?"

In a small city, Vance held a wine glass, sipping slowly. He turned his head and glanced at the woman kneeling beside him.

"He's just handing Aurora City over to me like this. No matter how I think about it, I feel there's a trap."

The woman kept her head lowered, her face hidden from view. However, her graceful figure, ink-black hair, and the glimpse of fair skin that showed were enough to confirm she was an absolute beauty.

Iridessa Titoria was Vance's biological sister and personal disciple of Eastonia's martial arts master, Alvaro Henderson. She specialized in covert arts and was exceptionally skilled.

For this trip to the distant Outlands, Iridessa had been appointed to follow and assist Vance throughout.

Vance snorted coldly. "I can naturally see through his schemes. But what I want isn't just Aurora City… I want Abyss City, and Throne City too!"

His ambition was written all over his face, his eyes gleaming with hunger.

Iridessa still kept her head lowered, saying gently, "Vance, should I go make contact with Andrew first?"

Vance waved his hand dismissively. "That's not necessary. You're very skilled at enchantment and have helped me tremendously. But the ones you can enchant are lustful losers seeking momentary pleasure. Andrew is not that; he's a true hero and mastermind. Honey traps, enchantment, and even seduction won't work well on him. You might even get caught in your own trap."

Iridessa replied softly, "But Vance, I have absolute confidence in myself. I know beauty and such won't seduce Andrew. But you're forgetting that I can also disguise myself."
