Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3244

Andrew left the Cunningham residence and walked alone down the long street. As he passed through the familiar alleyways, childhood memories surfaced of playing here when he was young.

Back then, the Lloyd family and the Cunningham families were still very close.

Conrad had been everyone's big brother. He often led a group of kids from Chetvine around town, sneaking around, causing trouble, and doing nothing good.

Every time, they got caught and beaten badly.

Only Andrew, the clever little kid, always managed to slip away. Over time, in that small age group and tiny circle, Conrad became the leader because he was the oldest and the boldest.

Andrew, though younger and smaller, naturally became the second-in-command. Every time they were about to do something stupid, the others would look at him, waiting for Andrew to decide whether they should go through with it or not.

Eventually, even Conrad got into the habit of consulting Andrew first when problems arose.

Those were carefree days.

But later, somehow, as they grew up and joined the organization, Conrad began to feel jealous and started slandering Andrew out of spite.

Andrew was always first at everything, and wherever he went, he quickly bonded with others and became the center of attention.

Seeing this, the competitive desire Conrad had buried deep inside as a child finally surfaced. It led to their eventual fallout to the point where they could no longer even be friends.

Later, when Conrad was defeated, Andrew did not kill him.

Conrad went overseas and received training from Reginald.

In the end, both returned home.

By then, Conrad was past 30. His life had moved beyond those spirited, ambitious teenage years. He no longer envied or tried to chase after Andrew. Instead, he accepted reality, followed his heart, and chose to follow Andrew.

However, Andrew's hatred toward the Cunningham family was undeniable.

For many years, Otto had dreamed of killing Andrew. So, the conflict between both sides was unavoidable.
