Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2810 Valerie looked at him and could not help but feel her heart tighten. She stepped forward, gripped Andrew's hand, and said softly, "No matter what happens, I'll be by your side. So don't worry!" "Sit, someone's here asking to see Mr. Johnston!" An apprentice holding Andrew's handwritten letter bowed to the figure ahead. The man turned around. He was tall and elegant with long hair cascading over his shoulders. He said flatly, "Harlan, don't you know Mr. Johnston is in seclusion? | already told you, he's not seeing anyone.

Tell them to leave!" The man was Roman Lawrence, one of Mount Lourneau's senior elders. He was Luther's eighth junior apprentice and currently managed Mount Lourneau's secular affairs. Harlan Kopernik, the apprentice who had come forward, replied respectfully, "Sir, | know Mr. Johnston is in seclusion, but Ms. Reyes has come again. | figured since she isn't an ordinary person, | thought you should make the call." Roman snorted. "So what if she's from the Reyes family? Mount ---- Lourneau treats everyone equally. Chetvine's elite don't have special privileges here.

So go back and tell her that Mr. Johnston can't see her." Harlan said quietly, "Mr. Lawrence, besides Ms. Reyes, the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince is with her, too. What I'm holding is a handwritten letter from the Dragon Prince of the Lloyd family. Do you want to take a look at it?" Roman's previously indifferent expression suddenly shifted. He did not take the letter but narrowed his eyes and asked, "What did you say? The Lloyd family's Dragon Prince came too?" Harlan replied, "Yes. Ms. Reyes brought the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince with her.

From the looks of it, the Dragon Prince's injuries are extremely serious." A cryptic smile appeared at the corners of Roman's mouth. " Well, well, he really did come! Good, let them in!" Harlan froze, then asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to read the Dragon Prince's letter?" Roman reached out with a flick of his hand, and the letter flew into his grasp. He crushed it into dust without even glancing at it. "It's nothing worth reading. When distinguished guests arrive, we naturally need to receive them properly! This is a big catch.

If we handle it right, the rewards will be substantial!" ---- Roman burst out laughing. Harlan did not understand what Roman meant and simply turned to escort the visitors inside. However, Roman's strange smile from earlier left him feeling uneasy. It seemed like Roman, who managed Mount Lourneau's affairs, was scheming something, and it was not anything good. + Nonetheless, Harlan shook his head, thinking he was probably overthinking it. After all, Roman, a senior elder of Mount Lourneau, was highly skilled in martial arts and highly respected.

Even Luther trusted him enough to put him in charge of managing Mount Lourneau's. operations. For a mere junior like himself to speculate pointlessly was just asking for trouble. At the mountain gate, Harlan bowed and said, "Please, come in, both of you." Valerie asked excitedly, "Mr. Johnston agreed to see us?" Harlan shook his head. "Mr. Johnston is in deep seclusion. It was Mr. Roman Lawrence who said you could enter." ---- Valerie immediately frowned. "Mr. Lawrence? So it's not Mr.

Johnston then." Andrew said, "Either way, let's go in and see what happens." Mount Lourneau truly lived up to its reputation as a prestigious sect. It was magnificent and imposing. Andrew and Valerie were told to rest first, and Roman would receive them the following morning. This made Valerie extremely anxious. She said, "No, we need to see Mr. Lawrence right now. Andrew's injuries can't wait." Harlan looked troubled. "I'm sorry, Ms. Reyes, but those are Mr. Lawrence's instructions. You can only see him tomorrow morning.

You won't be able to see him tonight." Valerie still wanted to insist, but Andrew stopped her, "It's fine, Valerie. Tomorrow morning it is." Valerie huffed reluctantly. "Mr. Lawrence certainly has quite the air about him. Mount Lourneau may be impressive. But the two of us aren't exactly nobodies either. So, go back and tell him not to put on too much of a show." ---- Harlan looked awkward as he left with the blushing Noel. Andrew leaned against the simple bedframe and said to Valerie, "Valerie, you should go rest too. You've been exhausted these past two days.

Once we meet Roman tomorrow, everything will be fine." Valerie shook her head. "No!" 1
