Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3364

Nyx looked at him in surprise. "Honey, what do you mean by that? Who exactly is the Greene family's Saintess, and how do you even know her?"

She was a woman, and her instincts were sharp. She had a quiet feeling already that this was about to be another one of his ladies.

Andrew said quickly, "Nyx, I'll explain everything once we find Shiloh."

Then, he turned to Atticus and added, "Patriarch, is there any way you can have someone take me to her right now?"

Atticus froze for a second, then nodded. "Of course. She's not far. She claims that the Greene family's hidden treasure is somewhere within our territory, and that's why she's here. Personally, I've always thought that was just a cover story. I suspect she has some other agenda entirely."

He smiled and continued, "But if you can help us resolve this headache, Mr. Lloyd, then the timing couldn't be better."

Asher stepped forward right away. "Mr. Lloyd, I'll take you there myself."

Andrew nodded. "Good. Let's head out now."

Nyx was already on her feet. "I'm coming too."

Andrew did not try to stop her, and with Asher leading the way, the three of them left the Cavendish royal family's main base immediately.

A few hours later, they arrived in the far northeastern reaches of Holtrien. It was a remote, barely-touched stretch of land where few people ever ventured.

Asher gestured ahead and said, "That fortified mountain stronghold up there is where Cormac has been holding the standoff with the Greene family's Saintess. It's also one of our family's key defensive outposts against outside threats."

As he finished explaining, all three of them had already walked inside. It looked like a mountain stronghold on the surface, but in reality, it was a whole military garrison manned by Cavendish warriors.

They found Cormac quickly. He was in the middle of rallying his men when Asher called out to him.

"Cormac!"

Andrew moved on. "Enough about that. Can you take me to the Greene family's Saintess right now?"

Cormac replied, "I can, but just be careful. She's not someone you want to take lightly. Her growth in martial ability has been almost unreasonable. Two years ago, when I first crossed paths with her, she had just reached the martial god level. And now, just two years later, she's already at the peak of the martial god level.

"On top of that, the Greene family has their own unique combat techniques and a few other tricks up their sleeve. I honestly can't say with full confidence that I could completely overpower her."

Andrew was mildly surprised. He had not expected Shiloh to have come this far in just two years. Nonetheless, he was not uneasy or wary about it.

Shiloh was his woman. Ever since returning to Holtrien, he had been looking for her, but between one thing and the next, he simply had not been able to break free long enough to track her down.

He had been quietly asking around about her whereabouts in the meantime, so running into her here on Cavendish territory was the last thing he had expected.

Cormac noticed the softness in Andrew's expression and asked curiously. "It really seems like you know her personally. Are you two actually that close?"
