Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3059

Iridessa said, "I could easily disguise myself and infiltrate his inner circle, or disguise myself as a woman he deeply loves. That way, he'll definitely let his guard down. When the opportunity comes, I'll take him out with one strike."

Vance was somewhat tempted but still shook his head. "Iridessa, there's no need to rush. You're my own sister, and Andrew isn't someone to underestimate. I can't let you take risks lightly. Get changed and dressed up. You'll come with me to Abyss City."

He added, "I want to test Andrew myself, and if he truly cannot hold Abyss City and shows weakness, then I would be a fool not to take it."

Iridessa giggled. "Alright! Then I'm off."

Still kneeling, she slid backward smoothly, and her perky hips moved with striking strength and elasticity. With a sudden burst of force, she spun in place and vanished into a wisp of smoke.

From start to finish, she never revealed her face.

Vance was extremely satisfied. Iridessa's covert techniques had reached the point of flawless deception. Even he sometimes could not tell the difference.

…

In Abyss City, Andrew received battle reports that the Ludendorff family's two armies were closing in. If they were not concerned about Andrew having some trick up his sleeve or about the Cathedral suddenly turning to attack their vulnerable home base, these two armies would have already launched their assault.

Juno rushed back to the city and reported, "Prince Vance, the head of The Coven of Heavenly Radiance, has arrived."

Andrew sneered. "As expected of a bunch of scavenger vultures. Whether it is real or not, the moment they smell blood or rot, they can't help but come take a look. Let our distinguished guest in and treat him well."

Juno turned to receive them, and soon enough, Vance entered the city hall of Abyss City with a single attendant, strutting in without restraint.

Andrew said helplessly, "What if I told you I didn't do anything to your Imperial Consort back then? Would you believe me?"

Vance replied coldly, "I'd have to be an idiot to believe that. Andrew, if you're a man, have the courage to admit it. Do you dare say you didn't violate her body?"

As he said this, Iridessa visibly trembled.

The detail did not escape Andrew's sharp eyes. He narrowed his gaze slightly, looking at the attendant beside Vance. However, the person did not seem particularly unusual, so he looked away again.

Then, he said, "Prince Vance, although I did cause some trouble in your country back then, and I'm somewhat sorry about it, your Imperial Consort was the Emperor's woman, your mother.

"Someone so worthy of respect was, by seniority, my elder, so how could I do something so inhuman? In truth, this comes from your own dark suspicions. I took her only to save my own life, and it was a last resort, a move out of desperation."
