Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2563 The words that had been on the tip of Jericho's tongue got stuck there. He stared blankly at Alfredo, wanting to ask, "Dad, do you even hear yourself right now?" Instead, he cleared his throat and said, "Dad, there's someone else who came with Sheena. Reginald's son, Andrew." Alfredo's hand froze mid-polish on the sword. "Interesting! Reginald's son, the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince, inheritor of the Lloyd family ancestors' totem. He's supposedly even more outrageous than Sheena. "Back in the day, Reginald and | fought to a draw, or so people thought.

In reality, | lost to him by half a move. And now, his son has come to my territory. Tell me, Jericho, how do you think | feel about that?" Jericho smiled, "Dad, don't worry. Tomorrow, I'll make sure that Andrew pays alittle price for it." Alfredo shook his head. "Do you really think | need to prove myself by picking on a kid? He's still young and hasn't even reached his full potential. To me, he's nothing worth mentioning "Treat him well. The Dragon Prince will surely become someone important someday.

Especially since his father, that sly old fox ---- Reginald, is hiding somewhere in the shadows of the world. His strength has been building quietly, and that alone is terrifying." He added, "Andrew's lucky, really. With a father like that pulling strings from the dark, he can walk anywhere like he owns the place. So don't go looking for trouble." Jericho seemed unconvinced and asked, "Are you being serious? Alfredo sighed. "Of course. Honestly, I'm not afraid of Reginald's terrifying martial arts talent. At worst, it just comes down to one thing: a fight.

What really scares me is that he's gone underground, pulling strings and manipulating things behind the scenes. That's flipping the whole damn table, and | can't ignore that kind of man." Jericho replied, nodding, "Alright, Dad, I'll listen to you. But you know my brothers... They're not all as obedient as | am." Alfredo shook his head. "Those idiots? Their swordsmanship skills are pathetic. | don't care what they do. If they pick a fight with Andrew and win, fine. But if they lose and embarrass Swordhaven Keep, then I'll deal with them personally." Jericho's eyelid twitched.

He knew all too well what Alfredo meant. Whenever Alfredo said he would 'deal with someone', it usually involved a sword through the thigh. That would take three months before you could even walk again. ---- Worse, Alfredo had a nasty habit of stabbing very specific areas. One mistake, and you can forget about ever having a child of your own. Only the people inside Swordhaven Keep truly knew how twisted Alfredo could be. Behind closed doors, they secretly called him names. Of course, no one dared say it out loud, not unless they wanted to lose their tongue.

Alfredo sheathed his sword and said coldly, "Go on. It's late, and | need to rest. Tomorrow, I'll meet Sheena and give her an answer. But tonight, | need to meet another group of people and give them an answer too. "They all expect me to kill the Lloyd family's golden girl with one strike. I'll admit, it's tempting. But if | go that far, then Andrew will have to follow her, too. A family should stay together, shouldn't they?" Jericho left, trembling slightly. Alfredo was infamous for his unpredictable moods. He could be laughing with you one moment and slaughter your entire family the next.

Within Swordhaven Keep, countless people were so scared that just one glance at Alfredo would keep them awake at night.
