Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2386 Andrew nodded and asked, "So, who the hell is Kirian?" Dallas' face went pale with horror. "What are you planning? You're not thinking of going after him, are you? He might know who actually placed that seal, but if you dare seek him out, you're signing your own death warrant. Kirian is ranked sixth on the Titan List, a true master swordsman." Andrew removed his mask and smiled without warmth. "Kirian being sixth on the Titan List is certainly impressive.

But do you honestly think I'd be afraid of him?" Dallas' blood-stained eyes widened in recognition, and his entire body began to tremble violently. "I-It's you! | should have known, from the start. You're asking about the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince because you are the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince." "No... P-Please, don't..." Dallas managed to stammer before his plea was cut short by a final, terrified scream The light faded from Dallas' eyes as Andrew withdrew his hand from the old man's skull. In a single strike, his energy had shredded Dallas' brain from the inside.

When Andrew struck, he never hesitated, never softened, and never let emotion cloud his judgment. That was what made him ---- truly dangerous. It was also precisely why only Andrew could lead the Iron Cavalry team. Dallas had sealed his fate the moment he planned to kill Andrew and steal his treasure. Andrew was no saint. If someone was already plotting to commit murder and robbery, there was no reason to show them mercy. That would be foolish. Furthermore, his inquiry about past events carried a significant risk.

There was a real possibility that Guillermo would find out, which would prompt him to take immediate action. Andrew had already experienced Guillermo's terrifying ability to manipulate events from the shadows. Once that man began orchestrating events, the complications would only multiply, leaving Andrew with no room to maneuver. The best approach was to proceed quietly and in secret. This made Dallas a liability who absolutely had to die.

If Andrew let him live, Dallas' cunning nature meant he would inevitably spread word of Andrew's identity, even with the incentive of a ninth-grade supreme elixir. Besides, the moonstone box Andrew was carrying did not actually contain a ninth-grade Divine Pill in the first place. ---- Dallas had tried to outsmart Andrew, but Andrew had anticipated this and prepared accordingly. He had already searched Dallas' body thoroughly and found various miscellaneous items, along with a rare ancient medicinal herb that Dallas had won at the auction.

Finding nothing else of value, Andrew dusted off his hands and left. As he approached the exit of the auction house, he removed his mask and walked out as if nothing had happened, leaving the Reyes Grand Auction House behind. Even if Dallas' body was discovered later, as long as Andrew left no evidence or clues at the scene, he could simply claim ignorance. Of course, if someone sharp like Valerie decided to dig deeper, it would not be hard for her to suspect Andrew. However, the thing was, Andrew never feared the trouble that came after he had already acted.

If he was bold enough to kill, he was ready for the consequences. "Well, look who finally decided to show his damn face. Took you long enough, asshole. I've been waiting so long, my patience's gone cold," a mocking voice suddenly called out. Just as Andrew was about to step out of the auction house, he froze. Trouble had arrived sooner than he expected. He smiled ---- faintly, though the smile never reached his eyes, and looked up at the group blocking his path. Standing at the front was Benny. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he glared at Andrew, his expression twisting with rage.

"Come here and get on your knees," Benny growled. Andrew's grin widened, sharp as a blade. "Get lost. I'm not in the best mood right now, so don't make me kill you." Benny barked out a laugh, eyes flashing with malice. He had not even done anything yet, and this guy was already acting tough. The audacity made his blood boil. "You're dead!" he spat, his smile turning vicious as he lunged forward and slammed a palm straight at Andrew's chest.
