At the Lloyd family estate, Andrew's injuries had finally stabilized. After repeatedly taking the ninth-grade supreme elixir, his recovery became astonishingly fast, leaving everyone else in awe.
Sheena and the others had been waiting for Andrew's condition to improve. Now, they all spoke up one after another.
Sheena reported, "Andy, we've taken down Trevor from the Thunder Sect. Chetvine is basically under our control now. All the other major factions, especially the noble houses, are either on our side or too scared to move. Guillermo is completely isolated. The next step is to hunt him down."
Andrew's face was still slightly pale, but he replied calmly, "No rush. A cornered animal is dangerous. If we push him too far, I'm worried he will do something reckless."
One of the Lloyd family department heads nodded gravely. "Exactly. Guillermo's been operating in Chetvine for so many years. If he goes off the rails, the consequences would be catastrophic."
Nyx remarked coldly, "If he wants to play dirty, we'll match him move for move. Honey, you, me, and Sheena can take him down without breaking a sweat."
However, Andrew shook his head. "No need. In the end, I'll take his head myself."
Just then, a Lloyd family member rushed in with a visitor.
Nyx and the others looked over and exclaimed in delight, "Mr. Hearst, what brings you here?"
Indeed, it was Franz.
He walked straight to Andrew and asked, "Andy, how are you feeling?"
Andrew smiled. "I'm fine, Mr. Hearst. But since you came at a time like this, I assume something serious happened."
Nyx suddenly said, "Honey, the Vampire Queen's abilities are far beyond what you or I imagined. The key leaders of all three empires may be under her control. With her power alone, she could easily spark a war between two continents. That wouldn't be a problem for her at all."
Andrew felt a chill run through him. "If that's the case, it really is possible. With the Vampire Queen's abilities, controlling the political leaders of three empires doesn't seem like much of a challenge."
Franz continued, "Andy, I came here for two reasons. First, to inform you. Second, I'm heading out immediately with the military to Azure Gate. I won't be able to look after things here for a while."
Andrew waved him off. "Mr. Hearst, don't worry about me. I'll be fine here."
Franz sighed. "Andy, our nation is in a crisis. Without you joining the fight, Holtrien will face tremendous danger. So please, settle your internal matters quickly and get there as soon as you can."
Andrew fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "If it really comes to that, I'll be there."

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....
