Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 1977 Andrew had learned about the Helioheart Gem from Ronald. This rare stone was said to work wonders for Victoria's shattered energy core: one extreme cold, the other a warm sun, opposing yet complementary. That was why Andrew had set his sights on the Hopkins family. As for killing Walter, it was just that snake's bad luck to be at the Hopkins residence at the time.

Of course, as long as Andrew knew his location, no matter where or what he was doing, Andrew would send him to his grave. "This gem is remarkable, sure," Eric said after a pause, "but I'll be honest... It can't save Mrs. Peck." He added, "The energy core is a martial artist's foundation, the source of internal energy. With the energy core intact, internal energy flows endlessly in natural cycles. Practiced to perfection, it's enough to split mountains and lift massive weights.

But now, her core is destroyed, her very foundation. Snatching this gem to save her is just treating the symptoms, not the cause." Andrew smiled, "Did it ever occur to you that | knew it too?" Eric was taken aback and instinctively wanted to retort. However, Andrew's smile was ice-cold, so he could only restrain ---- himself for now. Andrew continued grimly, "If there's anything that can make Victoria feel even a little better, I'll do it.

This Helioheart Gem is just to help her stabilize her body first. Next, I'll take her to the major martial arts sects to find a complete cure. So spare me the unnecessary lectures." Eric's temper flared. "Andrew, | know you're upset. But why take it out on me? I'm not the one who hurt Victoria, the Driscoll family did!" Andrew sneered coldly. "And that's why I'll hunt down the Driscoll family members one by one.

In the meantime, when | have nothing else to do, I'll use you for practice, beat you up occasionally to vent, no problem with that, right?" Eric was furious, "You're sick!" Andrew mimicked him, "You're sick!" He clicked his tongue and added, "Eric, can you be more of a man and stop acting like such a diva all the time?" Eric sneered. "Andrew, you're just a bit better at fighting than | am. Bet mine's bigger than yours." Andrew chuckled. "Please. It's not like | haven't seen it before.

Back when you were getting cozy with Henry, | caught a glimpse. Honestly? Nothing to brag about. It's as thin as a piece ---- of thread." Eric finally lost it. "Fuck off!" Andrew pulled open the car door and walked into the Peck residence. He had come here to bring Victoria the gem. Tiana was inside, keeping Victoria company and chatting. As soon as Andrew walked in, he saw Victoria's cheeks slightly flushed and her expression tense. He did not even need to guess what had happened.

These two were not exactly the get-along type, so they had clearly been arguing again. "Andrew, you're here. Come, sit," Victoria said with a smile, taking a sip of tea. She looked completely unbothered, as if nothing had happened between her and Tiana One was an icy beauty, the other a fiery spirit; both were the cherished companions of Reginald. Tiana was all passion and fire, while Victoria was unreadable, hiding her ruthlessness behind elegance.

If there were a queen ina soap opera, Victoria would fit the role perfectly. "Victoria, here's the Helioheart Gem for you." Andrew opened the ornate box and took out the gem, larger than his palm. It was warm to the touch, glowing with a rich, translucent light. ---- Victoria set down her teacup, her eyes widening in shock. "The Hopkins family's Helioheart Gem? How did you get this? Did you wipe them out?"
