Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2214 The Cunningham family was at its peak in Chetvine, with masters emerging one after another. Even Yandel Chambers of Mount Lourneau, ranked fifth on the Titan List, had hesitated to kill Conrad because he feared the Cunningham family would retaliate afterward. However, Conrad, reckless or perhaps simply insane, went straight to Holtrien's national advisor and asked him to act as witness. With such an influential figure mediating, the Cunningham family was bound by oath not to seek revenge afterward. Finally reassured, Yandel agreed to the life-or-death duel.

Originally, he only intended to go easy and end things quickly. However, Conrad brought over 1000 martial artists to surround Mount Lourneau. If Yandel dared hold back, his men would start digging up Mount Lourneau from the base until they leveled the entire mountain. This outrageous operation enraged the Mount Lourneau sect leader, who ordered Yandel to fight with everything he had to preserve their reputation. After half a year of complications, the two finally clashed on ---- Mount Lourneau's most treacherous peak. The result was no surprise: Conrad suffered a complete defeat.

Though he was incredibly talented and hailed as the Cunningham family's genius, even the most gifted prodigy could not truly defy the heavens. Moreover, Yandel was rumored to be a fallen immortal reborn in human form. While such rumors were usually just boastful publicity stunts to generate buzz and fame, Yandel was genuinely ruthless. He had once single-handedly stormed Lomuia's Grand Cathedral and killed one of their cardinal archbishops. For three months, the Knights of the Grand Cathedral hunted him across the world but failed to kill Yandel.

Instead, he had escaped back to Mount Lourneau and settled into a peaceful life of tending cattle. Back to the duel, Conrad was utterly defeated by Yandel. He was thrown off Mount Lourneau's treacherous cliff, presumed dead. That day, the Cunningham family erupted in fury and ignored Holtrien's national advisor's warnings, preparing to attack Mount Lourneau. Finally, the master's true anger was unleashed, and he forcibly suppressed the Cunningham family. After several months of quiet, the Cunningham family could no longer contain themselves and decided to avenge Conrad.

The ---- main issue was that Conrad had reportedly inherited one-third of the Cunningham family's fate and fortune. Destroying that much of their destiny was worse than desecrating their ancestral graves. Just as civil war seemed inevitable, something miraculous happened: Conrad returned alive. Not only did he return, but his strength had dramatically increased. The resulting sensation lifted the Cunningham family to new heights overnight. The side effect was that countless people now visited Mount Lourneau daily, seemingly as tourists but actually lining up to jump off the same cliff.

They all hoped to gain the same miraculous opportunity as Conrad. Later, Conrad never bothered with Yandel again. However, having survived the ordeal with greatly enhanced power, he had become one of Chetvine's most outstanding young martial artists. Rumors suggested that Conrad now possessed the strength to establish a second Cunningham family branch. At this moment, he had quietly brought several people to intercept Andrew. Those in the know understood that Conrad might actually be capable of killing this Lloyd family Dragon Prince on the spot.

---- Alternatively, the extreme opposite could happen, and Conrad might be killed by the Lloyd family Dragon Prince instead, Then, the Cunningham family would boil over and throw everything they had at the situation. Either scenario would be equivalent to a catastrophe because either outcome would ignite a storm that shook the entire region.
