Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3353

Asher was the first one through the door, but he did not walk toward Atticus or greet anyone in the hall. Instead, he stepped to the side and gestured respectfully behind him.

"Mr. Lloyd, Ms. Kerrigan, please, come in."

Andrew and Nyx then walked into the Cavendish family stronghold, surrounded on all sides by nearly all of the family's top experts. Immediately, hostile gazes shot toward them from every direction.

Andrew remained calm and walked straight to the end of the grand hall, then stopped. After that, he greeted, "Patriarch Atticus, I'm Andrew of the Lloyd royal family."

Atticus stared at Andrew, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he did not speak.

The martial god from the Cavendish family, who had spoken earlier, let out a cold snort. "Mr. Lloyd, you sure made quite an entrance, coming alone to the stronghold of the Cavendish royal family. Do you think the Cavendish family has no one worth worrying about, or are you just that full of yourself?"

Andrew replied calmly, "I didn't come to cause trouble. I only wanted to assist the Cavendish family in fighting the three empires outside."

The martial god sneered. "You? Helping us? Out of the goodness of your heart? You really think we're going to buy that?"

Andrew glanced at him indifferently. "Whether you believe it or not does not concern me. And what I choose to do is not for you to control."

The martial god let out another cold laugh, and his aura surged instantly. Yet Andrew remained unmoved, and the man did not dare act recklessly.

At that moment, Atticus stepped in. "Andrew, I actually had a decent relationship with your father, Reginald, back in the day. We traveled across Holtrien together, north and south, more than once, which makes it all the more surprising that you and my family can't seem to see eye to eye.

"My third brother, Asher, was held by you. While it may not seem like a big deal to some, the Cavendish family would very much like an explanation."

They had been ready to make their move the second he did.

But now, Asher, who had been detained for several days, looked cheerful, almost as if he had become Andrew's biggest supporter.

Asher was the third strongest figure in the Cavendish royal family, a heavyweight in every sense.

The whole room did not know what to make of it.

Had the man lost his backbone entirely?
