Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2850 Andrew shook his head. "You can't handle me. But like | just said, I'm not interested in you." The bartender, Gaia Evans, sneered. "What, you don't think I'm pretty?" Andrew felt a headache coming on. "Lady, knock it off. I'm here waiting for someone. And have you looked in a mirror lately? Pretty? Women from this region have the shortest shelf life, and | don't need to explain that, do I? To be honest, compared to my ladies back home, you could be their grandmother!" Gaia flew into a rage.

"That comment really pisses me off, and when you piss me off, you'll die a horrible death in the City of Hope!" Andrew sighed helplessly. "So what do you want?" Gaia sneered. "| already told you. Tonight, you're coming with me. Let me screw you all night long, then we'll talk!" Andrew almost laughed. "You rats never change. After all these years, you're still using the same old playbook! Back when | was running around the City of Hope, you pulled the same crap. When seduction doesn't work, you switch to threats and intimidation. The endgame is all the same, though, isn't it?

---- Organ trafficking." Gaia's expression finally changed. She stared at Andrew, her eyes cold and guarded. She had not expected a stranger to see through her act so easily. Moreover, he also mentioned running around the City of Hope years ago. Gaia instinctively sneered. "Pretty boy, seems like you really do know something, But taking you down would be way too easy forus." She stepped back two paces and clapped her hands twice. Immediately, the chaotic music in the bar came to an abrupt halt.

In an instant, it went from deafening noise to dead silence, and dozens of eyes turned to glare at Andrew with murderous intent. Andrew turned to look, his expression unchanged. Two nearly seven-foot-tall bearded, bald brutes strode toward him, boxing Andrew in between them. One of them said, "You shouldn't be starting trouble here. This ain't your home, and your fragile little ass will be split wide open ina night!" The other burst out laughing. ---- The two bearded thugs' insults triggered waves of mocking laughter from the surrounding crowd. Andrew shrugged.

"I'd rather not get my hands dirty yet, since the person I'm waiting for hasn't shown up! So don't go looking for death." The hundred or so thugs in the bar first froze, then burst into roaring laughter. "Screw you! How dare you talk big in the City of Hope? Who gave you the balls?" "This is hilarious. You're exactly the reckless type whose corpse shows up in the sewer every morning here!" A third yelled, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's use his dead body to kick off the party tonight!" The place burst into loud, chaotic jeers.

Then, the two bearded men lunged at Andrew, reaching for his head Before they could even touch him, the bar's metal door was kicked open with a loud bang. A group of people stormed in, moving fast and furious. ---- Behind the counter, Gaia's face instantly turned nasty. "Toby Parker, what the hell does the Razor Crew want? Our bar doesn't welcome you people. You're aware of that, aren't you?" Accompanied by an unpleasant laugh, a short guy walked in. His suit hung loose and baggy on his frame, and he held a cigarette between his fingers.

Toby chuckled and said, "Gaia, sweetheart, you're right. By our usual rules, the Razor Gang and Night Rose do operate separately. But this man? We're taking him, and Night Rose better not lay a finger on him." Gaia's expression went ice-cold.
