Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 1656 Shiloh gave Andrew a discreet thumbs up. "Andrew, you're really something now!" Andrew smiled faintly but didn't say anything in response. Aspen tumed to glance at Christina hurrying away, biting her lip as a complex expression flickered through her eyes. Lauren chuckled softly, "What's wrong, Aspen? Feeling sorry for her?" Aspen shook her head with a forced smile. "I'm pretty ruthless. | don't have room for sympathy.

| just never expected she'd actually start from the bottom as a server and work her way up step by step." Francesca suggested gently, "Aspen, maybe you should go talk to Ms. Christina privately? After all, you two were once like sisters!" Aspen hesitated for a moment before declining, "No, I'd better not go over there. If | do, I'm afraid | won't be able to control myself and might remember what happened back then and say something cruel to her. The food arrived, and everyone began eating.

---- Shiloh ate incredibly fast but maintained perfect table manners throughout. Despite being a lady, and an ageless, mystical one at that, every movement she made carried an invisible charm. Seeing how happily she was eating, no one bothered to interrupt her. After wiping her mouth, Shiloh set down her fork and looked at Andrew with a serious expression. Andrew was puzzled, "What's wrong? Don't you like the food?" Shiloh shook her head and glanced in a certain direction. "Over there...

someone's got their eye on you." Andrew followed her gaze to see a man ina leather jacket sitting by the window on the other side of the restaurant, head down as he ate. Even from a distance, Andrew could make out the man's thick beard covering most of his face. "He's targeting me?

That guy?" Andrew did not notice anything unusual and could not help but question, "Shiloh, are you sure you're not seeing things?" Shiloh picked up a piece of meat and popped it in her mouth, chewing thoughtfully before responding with satisfaction, "I'm not seeing things because I'm not even using my eyes to look." ---- She explained matter-of-factly, "I'm sensing through intuition that the man is projecting intense killing intent toward you." Andrew raised his hand to signal them to stay calm and not blow their cover.

Looking at Shiloh with a relaxed smile, he asked, "Check again. Is he still directing that murderous intent at me?" Shiloh narrowed her eyes and grinned. "It's definitely aimed at you, and it's not ordinary killing intent either. It's extremely intense! Do you want me to handle him for you?" Andrew stood up and headed toward the restroom. "No need.

You all keep eating, I'll be right back!" If anyone else had talked about sensing killing intent, Andrew would have thought they were full of it and showing off. However, Shiloh was different. Her true capabilities remained a mystery to Andrew even now, but he could be certain of one thing: Shiloh's martial arts skills were incredibly advanced, at least at the martial king level or higher. Moreover, she possessed some kind of mystical sensory abilities that were genuinely supernatural.

Since she said that the man wanted to kill him, Andrew believed it was most likely true. So, he left the table and headed into the men's restroom. His ---- purpose, of course, was to lure the enemy into his trap. Just as Andrew had anticipated, the moment he left his seat and walked toward the restroom, the bearded man in the leather jacket stood up. He casually wiped his mouth with a napkin, pretending nothing was amiss.

His phone was still playing a livestream of an adorable lady singing, and he watched with a sleazy smile as he casually followed after Andrew. Anyone looking at him would have thought he was a perverted weirdo in a heartbeat. The moment he entered the men's restroom, the bearded man's perverted expression vanished completely. In its place was a gold-toothed grin that was particularly menacing. He reached toward his waistband without hesitation.

Out came a short, thick piece of hardware-his signature Golden Desert Eagle. He raised it with one hand and aimed straight for the back of Andrew's head. "Goodbye!" The sound of the gunshot exploded through the restroom
