Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2724 The moment everyone left, Lorenzo dropped to his knees and knocked his forehead against the floor repeatedly. He cried, "Mr. Vazquez, | was wrong, terribly wrong. Please calm your anger." Guillermo clasped his hands behind his back as he stood and said, "Ever since Reginald betrayed me, | stopped taking apprentices. Throughout my entire life, | have only taken on three. "The first died young and offered nothing worth mentioning. The second was Reginald, a once-in-a-generation talent. To be honest, | still think it's a shame even now. As for the third...

that would be you." He continued, "Lorenzo, your talent was nowhere near Reginald's. But you did have one good trait. You were steady, patient, and capable of enduring what others couldn't. Yet this time, you revealed yourself to be all bark and no bite, greedy for quick success. "You are my apprentice, and although your martial ability is limited, your real strength has always been strategy, planning, and manipulating the field behind the scenes. But | didn't expect you to take such a winning hand and play it into the dirt." Lorenzo panicked and stammered, "Mr.

Vazquez, |..." ---- Guillermo cut him off with a cold snort. "I'm not blaming you. Everyone makes mistakes, but some mistakes reveal that a person simply lacks weight, depth, or proper discipline. To put it simply, it shows you're not good enough. "A student of mine shouldn't be this incompetent, especially when you were facing Andrew, who was still recovering from heavy injuries. In raw strength and in resources, you held the advantage. Yet you still lost...

and you lost miserably." Lorenzo shouted, "Don't worry, !'ll kill him no matter what!" Guillermo ignored him and continued, "Judging from the sharpness Andrew has shown, he's no weaker than his father. In fact, in some ways, he surpasses Reginald. Back then, Reginald only cared about being the strongest. He dominated because he never saw the world or its people as anything worth noticing. With that mindset, everything before him became a straight, unobstructed path." After a pause, Guillermo narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "But Andrew is different.

He went through blood and fire within the organization, and his mind became unbreakable, even tougher than Reginald's ever was. Most importantly, he carries a destiny. "Reginald's wife, Andrew's mother... The methods that she wielded were unlike anything | had ever seen. Andrew carries the legacy she left behind. | don't yet know what that legacy truly is, ---- but it definitely exists. That was why, back then, | had no choice but to bring someone in to seal his energy core." He added, "So far, it has worked decently well.

But signs of instability have begun appearing again, and your latest failure has made my plans far harder to execute." Lorenzo growled fiercely, "Mr. Vazquez, why not just kill Andrew directly? Once that brat dies, everything will fall into place. The Lloyd royal family and Reginald may be powerful, but with our side's strength, we don't fear them. Give us a few more years, and with your continued plans, Mr. Vazquez, the entire country would finally fall under your grand vision."
