Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3330

Dorothy looked at the opposing elder and said calmly, "Elder Cantino, you're fully aware of Andrew's current strength. Do you really think opposing him would make a difference?"

Giovanni Cantino snapped angrily, "Even if Andrew were some divine being descended from heaven, does that mean he can do whatever he wants? The Eight Ancient Sects are bound together. If we unite, I refuse to believe we can't stand against him."

Dorothy's voice remained clear and steady. "I just received news that Andrew has already wiped out the Umbral Peak Sect. The Divine Alchemists' sect leader, Julius Bowen, was killed on the spot at the Umbral Peak Sect. On top of that, Byron Ashby of Umbral Peak Sect was also killed. Elder Cantino, do you still wish to object?"

Giovanni's face changed dramatically, fear and disbelief flooding his expression. "Even someone as strong as Julius was killed? Is Andrew truly that terrifying?"

A faint, almost dreamy look surfaced in Dorothy's luminous eyes as she said softly, "The stronger Andrew is, the more beneficial it is for the Harmony Sect, isn't it? Charlotte has already reached the critical point where she needs a breakthrough. For a long time, I haven't been able to find a suitable partner to cultivate alongside her. Now that Andrew has arrived, with Charlotte's beauty and talent, I believe he won't refuse."

Giovanni fell silent. Even though resentment burned in his heart, he no longer dared to speak against her. Compared to Julius, he was far weaker. If he were to confront Andrew out of jealousy, it would only lead to his death.

Dorothy's voice turned crisp again. "Then it is settled. Have the disciples at the gates remain on high alert. The moment Andrew and his people arrive, inform me immediately. We'll all go out to receive them."

…

A smile finally appeared on Philip's face. "Clarence didn't let me down after all."

Franz shook his head. "Clarence said it was not he who persuaded the Umbral Peak Sect and the Divine Alchemists. It was Andrew who personally went to the Umbral Peak Sect and killed Byron. And Julius… well, he was killed by Andrew with a single strike."

Philip abruptly turned his head. "Andrew killed Julius?"
