Andrew returned to the Lloyd family estate at once. His injuries were not light, but they were far from fatal. His close companions were badly shaken and hurried to support him and make him rest.
At the same time, Francesca ran at full speed to inform the Lloyd family.
Before long, Donovan arrived at Andrew's new residence. He said nothing when he saw Andrew's condition, but his expression slowly turned vicious.
Donovan said through clenched teeth, "Andy, don't worry about anything else. Since things have reached this point, it'll be a fight to the death now. The Lloyd family has been far too accommodating to these people."
After saying that, he turned and walked outside.
Philip quickly followed and called out, "Patriarch Donovan, what are you planning to do?"
Donovan turned back and said coldly, "General, you saw the entire fight between Andrew and Pablo, did you not?"
Philip frowned. "Yes, I saw everything."
Donovan continued, "Then you should know that the Lloyd royal family has already shown enough restraint. It was all because we didn't want Andrew to stand against everyone in Holtrien too early.
"But now the other two royal families are openly and secretly standing with Guillermo. Even someone like Pablo personally made a move against Andrew. If that's the case, then the Lloyd family won't hold back. If they want chaos, we will see it through to the end."
Philip's expression turned extremely grim. "Patriarch Donovan, don't act rashly. Andrew killed Patriarch Pablo!"
Donovan was shocked. "What did you say?"
Philip gave a bitter smile and immediately explained what had happened between Andrew and Pablo.
"He broke the Hearst royal family's signature technique, the Diamond Body Art. Pablo had been undefeated in his entire life, but Andrew broke the technique and then struck his weak point, and Pablo..."
He ended with a heavy sigh, clearly troubled.
The military's focus was on the coming war between the eastern and western continents. Yet at this moment, the three royal families collided over the power shift in Chetvine, fueled by old and new grudges.
The timing could not have been worse.
Nonetheless, Guillermo's downfall and Andrew's rise were inevitable. Otherwise, the two sides could never coexist peacefully, and Holtrien's future continental war would be in serious danger.
Philip sighed. "At the end of the day, I can't control what the three royal families decide. I only hope, Patriarch Donovan, that you keep the bigger picture in mind."
Donovan replied calmly, "If our country and family need it, every son and daughter of the Lloyd family would give their lives without hesitation. But if the Hearst family and Guillermo think the Lloyd family is a pushover, then they are gravely mistaken. For Andrew's sake, I would gamble this old life of mine."
After speaking, Donovan turned and left.
Philip suddenly snapped back to reality and blurted out, "One of the Lloyd family department heads and Sheena were nowhere to be seen. Normally, they would have rushed over when Andrew was injured. Could it be that they're already making a move?"

Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Rising from the Ashes (Andrew)
The author is insanely inconsistent with Christina's character. She was loyal enough to withstand torture until she fainted, and refused to call Andrew when she was kidnapped (even though it was out of a misplaced sense of protectiveness due to her lack of trust in him). This shows that despite her family being trash (other than Dougals), she is at least a good peson at heart. Then she suddenly turns into someone spiteful and evil simply because the author is no longer intersted in patching them back up, and has decided to set him up with Lauren and Fran. That's his choice, but at least be consistent....
