Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3296

The Hearst family's submissive attitude filled the Lloyd family members with overwhelming joy. Several department heads looked at Donovan with gleaming eyes.

One said, "Patriarch Donovan, the time has come."

Another chimed in, "The Lloyd family should be handed over to Andrew. Two of the three great royal families are already in Andrew's hands. Even if he's not yet the supreme ruler of Holtrien, at the very least, he already holds a unique position in Holtrien."

Donovan was visibly excited. That was indeed what he had been thinking. From the very beginning, he had planned to hand the Lloyd family over to Andrew. However, Andrew had always refused.

After returning from the Outlands, he had even made it clear that Sheena should lead the Lloyd family. Initially, the Lloyd family's department heads had supported her. Yet, now it seemed obvious that Andrew was the most suitable choice.

Calling him the one who would restore the Lloyd family's former glory was not an exaggeration.

Andrew looked at Pablo and said, "Patriarch Pablo, in our battle back in Chetvine, I won by sheer luck. Your Diamond Body Art only lacked the final refinement. If you just finish cultivating that point, I won't be your match anymore."

Pablo was still very weak after his serious injury.

Hearing this, he laughed heartily and said, "A win is a win, a loss is a loss. I know the difference. Besides, you've already reached Beyond Mortal Limits strength now. The Hearst family can't produce someone of that caliber. Originally, I had hoped to break through to that realm myself. But it doesn't matter anymore. Andrew, you're indeed strong."

Andrew laughed heartily, bowing slightly. "Then, we'll see each other at the frontlines."

Pablo returned the gesture. "See you at the frontlines. When the nation's at stake, you don't quit till you're done."

Zavian asked, "Father, if Andrew broke through your weak point, how did you survive?"

Pablo sighed, "His medical skills are absolutely astounding. In that critical moment, he stabilized my heart meridian. Later, using pure force, he infused energy into my body and forcibly pulled my life force back. Plus, with help from a woman named Bridget, I finally survived.

"Andrew is a master of both medicine and martial arts, and his alchemy skills are exceptional too. With someone like him, the Lloyd family will be unmatched across Holtrien for the next hundred years."

Jeffery and the others all felt conflicted. Saying they did not want to dominate or become Holtrien's number one family would have been a lie. However, Andrew's sudden rise had completely suppressed the Hearst family across multiple generations.

They were left with nothing but silent acceptance.
