Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2667 Koda was taken aback. Then, his expression turned strange. "So he's your son, Mr. Thornton?" He chuckled awkwardly and added, "Looks like I misjudged earlier. | never expected a man of your reputation to have a son who is so... well, unique. Come on in, all of you." Only then were the group allowed to step into Koda's territory, Andrew scanned the area and realized Koda had taken over a mountain ridge surrounded by cliffs on three sides. It was not large, but it was absolutely a strategic stronghold. If Corbin tried to attack head-on, he would not have an easy time.

Koda had three martial saints under his command. Each one looked at Andrew's group with cold, indifferent eyes, barely acknowledging their presence. Koda made no move to have his people greet Andrew and the others either. He simply gestured casually for them to sit down. Meanwhile, he took the main seat on the cushion. Then, he reached over and grabbed some grilled meat nearby, stuffing it into his mouth. It was worth noting that his massive sword never left his side and was positioned where he could grab it at a moment's notice to defend himself. ---- Andrew remained perfectly calm.

With just one glance, he could easily tell that Koda was now like a frightened bird. He was terrified that danger could strike at any moment, which was why he kept his sword within reach. Moreover, looking at the people under Koda's command, every single one had a haggard expression and bloodshot eyes. They looked like cornered beasts, with none of them appearing relaxed. They all looked more like desperate criminals ready to fight to the death at any moment. By comparison, Corbin's side was clearly confident of victory.

Milo looked at Koda's men with disgust before saying, "Koda, have you figured out how you're going to fight that Corbin tomorrow?" Koda replied casually, "What do you mean, how am | going to fight? My sword can easily split his skull open." Milo snorted coldly. "Haven't you considered that if Corbin so readily agreed to a one-on-one duel with you, there must be some trick involved?" Koda scoffed, "When you have absolute strength, no trick matters. Anyway, you're no saint yourself.

Just tell me straight, what the hell are you doing here?" ---- Milo huffed, "With that attitude of yours, it's tough for me to stay calm and help you." Koda scoffed. "You think you're helping me? Not even counting your suicidal behavior in the hall today, what right do you have to stand out and show off in front of all those people? If it weren't for Mr. Thornton's sake, I would've cut you down already." Milo said grimly, "Koda, don't get cocky. No matter what, I'm still the Sixth Elder of the Advanced Medical Institute.

Do you really think killing me would have no consequences for you?" Koda flashed a malicious grin. "Why don't you stick your neck out and let's find out? Old fool, who the hell do you think you are? | dared to stab Mr. Livingston, so what makes you any different?" Milo's fingers trembled with rage. "Koda, you..." At that moment, Andrew burst out laughing, interrupting Milo's pathetic performance.

He thought Milo really was brainless Koda had made it abundantly clear that he was a desperate criminal who did not care about anything, yet Milo was still trying to pull rank by claiming he was the Sixth Elder. The Advanced Medical Institute was in complete chaos, and being a Sixth Elder meant absolutely nothing. Andrew chimed in, "We came here to align ourselves with you ---- against Mr. Easton." Koda put down the bone in his hand. Smirking as he replied, "A clueless idiot like Milo would never understand that if | go down, he goes down too. This had to be either your idea or Mr.

Thornton's. But | don't care. So tell me... What does this" alignment' look like?"
