Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2896 Timmy's slender neck was instantly locked in Marshall's hand. With just a little force, Marshall could separate the boy's head from his body. Timmy's face flushed red as he coughed painfully, but he did not dare struggle or strike at Marshall's hand. In his eyes was only fear. Seeing this, Louie anxiously stepped forward and pleaded, "Sir, what are you doing? He's just an innocent child. Please put him down. If you're angry, just let it out on me!" A Ludendorff family warrior slammed the hilt of his blade forward, and Louie's nose was smashed, blood flowing everywhere.

He was knocked to the ground, rolling in utter misery. "Mr. Shields!" The eight warriors behind could no longer suppress their rage and frustration One by one, their eyes tuned red as they glared at Marshall. Marshall sneered dismissively, lifting Timmy up, his smile turning vicious as he faced all the townspeople. "I'll ask this one last time: has anyone seen that man or not? If you have, step forward now and tell me where he went, along ---- with any related information you have. Of course, you can also say nothing at all. But the consequences?

Perhaps it was because Andrew had shown him a ray of light A blinding light from Holtrien, from their ancestral homeland. "Perfect!" Marshall's face returned to cold indifference. "Your performance, you worthless peasants, was truly perfect!" ---- He suddenly laughed, a neurotic and excited laugh.

"A bunch of scavengers, rats struggling to survive in the mud at the bottom, actually dare to disregard the Ludendorff family's authority. This is the first time | have encountered such a thing. So | must give you a grand gift and let you experience the supreme, irresistible authority of the Ludendorff family!" With that, he released Timmy. The crowd cried out in alarm. A strange, ghostly flame suddenly ignited at Marshall's fingertips. Then, he pointed it at Timmy's forehead. In no more than three seconds, his body was completely burned away, leaving only a human-shaped piece of charcoal.

Timmy was gone! A blackened corpse stood rigidly in place as the intense high- temperature flame had carbonized all his skin in an instant. His internal organs had been cooked by the heat. Tears flooded Louie's eyes. "Timmy!" Behind him, the town warriors were furiously agitated. "You bastards! I'll fight you to the death!" After a series of gunshots, the town's only armed force were all laying in pools of blood. They were riddled with bullets, with not ---- a single body remaining whole
