Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2213 Mikayla could definitely tell that Luna was mocking her. Even so, she stood firm with her own approach and stance. It was only natural that people chose the strongest support because everyone wanted to move up in the world and grow stronger. Especially now, with the Owens family already rising in power. She had already told Andrew that she hoped he would turn back and leave Chetvine immediately. If he refused to listen, then there was nothing she could do. Isabelle's fight was just a warm-up, because the real obstacles were still waiting ahead Luna realized this, too.

Isabelle was strong, but she was still just one person. As the Dragon Prince of the Lloyd family, Andrew's return would stir resentment in not hundreds, but thousands of people, and the truly dangerous opponents were still in the shadows. So, she did not waste time and immediately went after Andrew. At that moment, Andrew had already encountered his next wave of trouble. Someone clicked his tongue and said, "Well, well, he really did come back. And he brought a woman too... She's not bad- ---- looking. | bet she could be fun to play with. But honestly, she's just cheap eye candy.

Chetvine's clubs are full of girls like that!" Four young men lounged arrogantly, blocking Andrew's path. Andrew and Natasha had not even left the airport yet when this second wave of troublemakers arrived. Unlike the naive Isabelle, this group was much more dangerous. Members of the Cunningham family had come, along with three fighters from Chetvine's top ten martial arts youth rankings.

They looked like street thugs on the surface, but their eyes gleamed with sharp light, and their auras revealed they were all at least peak martial king level The one making the sarcastic comments was a muscular young man in front. He had his arms crossed and went by the name Liam Becker. Andrew vaguely remembered this punk. He came from money and was pretty arrogant. Back then, Andrew had beaten him into the bathroom and forced him to eat filth. Looking back now, he admitted that he had gone a little too far in his youth because he had been fiery and reckless.

But even so, Liam was nothing more than a small-time nuisance in his eyes. Andrew's focus was on the tall, lean man leaning against the ---- Mercedes AMG sports car in the back. He had an expressionless face and an unreadable gaze, remaining completely silent since Andrew's arrival This was Conrad Cunningham, the young heir of the Cunningham family. Unlike Liam and the others, Conrad wore an expensive, perfectly tailored suit with gold-rimmed glasses for show perched on his nose. His suit cuffs were embroidered with gold thread forming a redbud flower, the Cunningham family crest.

The symbolism was that success, like redbud flowers on a hillside, was within easy reach and breathtakingly beautiful. Years ago, Conrad and Andrew had both belonged to the same organization. Though they held different positions and rarely interacted directly, their underground rivalry ran deep. Conrad had once publicly challenged Andrew to a death match. However, Andrew had never responded to the challenge. Later, during that great catastrophe, Andrew and Reginald fled Chetvine. Since then, he had had no contact with Conrad whatsoever.

However, just because Andrew had moved on did not mean Conrad had let go over the years. As the most outstanding prodigy of the Cunningham family, Conrad was quite an interesting character. ---- He was not officially on the Titan List, yet he would occasionally challenge the top ten fighters on it. Conrad had even fought Jerome, the leader of the Southern Martial Union. Rumor had it that the battle ended in a draw. But later, Conrad did something that shocked Holtrien's entire martial arts world.

He directly challenged the fifth-ranked fighter on the Titan List, and both parties signed a death contract, meaning life or death would depend entirely on fate and combat ability, with no retaliation allowed afterward
