Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2401 Amari frowned. "Come in? This is my private courtyard. That's probably not appropriate, is it?" Luna bit her lip and pressed forward anyway. "Mr. Goodman, | need to talk to Mr. Lloyd alone. Please, just give me a moment. | apologize for the intrusion." Without waiting for permission, she strode past Amari and headed inside. Amari looked flustered. "General Phelan, wait!" However, Leslie grabbed his arm with a knowing smile. "Mr. Goodman, great to meet you. I've heard you're into fine wine and want to try every good drink out there.

We have some excellent stock at the military headquarters. How about we grab a drink?" Amari's eyes lit up immediately. "Are you for real?" Soon, the two were deep in conversation about alcohol, completely forgetting about Andrew. Luna hurried into the courtyard and found Andrew sitting beneath a large tree. In front of him, a brass cauldron was smoking gently, and it looked like it had been burning continuously even while he was out eating. ---- She watched as Andrew deftly opened the cover, tossed in some medicinal herbs with practiced ease, and closed it back up without even looking.

Then, he closed his eyes as if meditating. A few moments later, he opened his eyes and checked the flames inside. Next, without hesitation, he threw something into the fire. The flames suddenly erupted violently, burning so hot that the cauldron glowed an angry red. Andrew did not even flinch. He calmly reached out and grabbed the scorching hot cover with his bare hand, completely unaffected by the heat. He peered inside briefly, tossed the cover back on, and shook his head with a slight smile. He muttered, "It's so difficult. Unbound Elixir is tough...

Eight out of ten attempts are bound to fail." He paused for a moment, then chuckled softly to himself. "But for me, this problem doesn't exist. If | make it ten times, I'll succeed nine times. The last failure only happened because | was so sleepy | dozed off during the final stage." Luna stood listening quietly, her expression shifting between doubt and disbelief. She wanted to ask if he was serious. However, he acted as though she was not even there. In truth, he was inwardly smirking, Silent bragging was the ---- deadliest kind, after all.

He could not believe he would still enjoy showing off like this. Half an hour later, Andrew put out the fire and lifted the lid. A rich, sweet scent instantly spread through the courtyard, enveloping everything in an almost intoxicating fragrance. Andrew carefully pulled out three gleaming pills. They were an unusually striking amber color, glimmering like precious gemstones. They were stunning Andrew took out a small bottle and carefully placed one tablet inside it.

Then, he picked up his teacup and took a long, satisfied sip before finally turning his attention to Luna, who had been watching in complete fascination. Her face flushed red when she realized she had been caught staring, and she quickly composed herself. She asked, "Why do you need one bottle for each tablet? These bottles look pretty expensive too. So why not just put all three tablets together in one bottle?" Andrew smiled knowingly. "Good question... But only a complete beginner would ask something like that. Actually, you're not even at beginner level yet.

I'd say you're at a total novice stage, completely amateur." ---- Though slightly offended, Luna still gave a polite smile and said, "Please enlighten me."
