Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3276

Guillermo fell silent for a moment, then laughed and said, "Mr. Harding Senior, it seems you're still fairly sane. But there's no need for that, because I already have a way out of Chetvine. Let's stay in touch, and once I'm out of Chetvine, we can plan further, since I may still need you."

Sergio's heart sank, and deep disappointment washed over him. Still, he pressed on, trying to lure Guillermo. "Mr. Vazquez, take care of yourself. The Harding family will always be waiting for you to lead us. That said, the route I know is extremely discreet. It used to be the Harding family's old foundation, and if you need it, I'm at your service anytime."

Guillermo chuckled and replied, "Mr. Harding Senior, I appreciate your goodwill. But I already have someone guiding me, so there's no need."

With that, he hung up.

Sergio's expression darkened as he looked at Luna.

Luna said flatly, "It's no big deal. He's a cautious man; a national advisor of a country isn't that easily fooled. Mr. Harding Senior, you've already done very well. I'll tell Andrew."

Sergio gritted his teeth. "That old bastard… Even on death's door, he's still so careful. It's just a shame that once he's out of Chetvine, he can go anywhere."

Luna frowned deeply. She was thinking the same thing.

Stopping Guillermo truly felt unlikely.

Suddenly, Sergio's phone rang again.

Luna was startled and whispered urgently, "Answer it!"

Seeing the caller ID, Sergio was overjoyed but still put on a surprised tone. "Mr. Vazquez, what's this about?"

Guillermo said from the other end, "Mr. Harding Senior, after thinking it over, I've decided to use the location your family is providing after all."

Sergio half-joked, "General Phelan, aren't you worried that Guillermo and I are working together to deceive you?"

Luna said flatly, "I don't need to. Because I'm notifying Nyx to go to your family right now. She's Andrew's woman and loves him deeply. If you betray us… Well, Nyx only cares about Andrew, and she doesn't care about whether it's cruel or what the consequences might be. She'll definitely kill everyone in your family outright!"

Sergio roared, "General!"

In the end, he deflated and lowered his head. Without another word, he led his people toward the location where they would lure Guillermo into the trap.

Luna's face was impassive. After all this back-and-forth, she was not about to trust people easily. In fact, she was gradually becoming more ruthless.

The Luna of the past had been righteous, perhaps too upright and principled. But now, she had changed significantly. With human hearts being so treacherous, she had to grow up. If she did not, she would not be able to keep up with Andrew's pace.
