Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 3169 Andrew ordered another full spread of food to be served. They had been traveling nonstop, and as martial artists, their appetites were anything but small. Conrad looked a little embarrassed, but Andrew raised his hand and told him not to overthink it. So, Conrad lowered his head again and started eating like his life depended on it. Andrew said, "The global situation is about to shift, and we're actually going back home at a good time." Luna replied, "Exactly, we noticed it too. Recently, people from the four Western nations have been increasingly active in the Outlands.

What's more, they're openly clashing with us from Holtrien. All of these are bad signs. The main reason we evacuated was that our secret military base had already come under attack." Andrew chose not to tell them about the Vampire Queen's awakening just yet, as that threat still felt too distant from their immediate concerns. The forces of the West had never been something to underestimate. Holtrien had its visible military and government, but behind the scenes, it also had its ancient sects and the old powers that had survived since antiquity.

---- In modern times, there was also the renowned and profoundly influential Divine Dragon Order, the mysterious organization Andrew himself had joined. All of these existed to protect the nation and its people. They were there to counter the mysterious and powerful forces from the West, or elsewhere in the world, that ordinary people knew nothing about. The Western nations and their alliances had always watched Holtrien with greedy eyes, leading to constant friction and conflict.

In the shadows, Dark Trinity had long acted as a supernatural force, endlessly clashing with Holtrien's ancient sects and martial elites. When the Vampire Queen awakened, her words to Andrew pointed directly at Holtrien's ancient forces. Andrew still did not fully understand that situation. He could only plan to investigate it more thoroughly after returning home. The wars in the Wastelands were ultimately limited to the Outlands. What truly made people tremble was the ancient feud between the Eastern and Western continents and the hidden figures fighting behind the scenes.

---- Christopher was a deeply hidden big shot in Holtrien. But strictly speaking, he was not exactly unbeatable Holtrien was the number one Eastern power, ancient and mysterious, with countless hidden forces and legendary figures throughout history. In the past, Andrew had neither the opportunity nor the inclination to learn about these things. Nonetheless, things were different now. After returning home, both his status and his power destined him to become a pillar of Holtrien, standing among its very top tier.

That meant he would have the right to access all sorts of classified information and buried history. "Since you've made it to Throne City, there's no need to rush. You can all rest here for a day before we head back to Holtrien," Andrew said with a smile. Valerie and Luna naturally agreed with bright smiles. They were eager to reconnect intimately with Andrew. After all, absence would indeed make the heart grow fonder, and they had missed him terribly. Conrad was also pleased. Throne City was the number one city in the Wastelands, and he had long wanted to see it.

Now that Andrew was its ruler, he could explore freely and without worry. ---- Kyrie's position was a bit awkward, but Andrew was not petty or narrow-minded. He did not consider Kyrie a close friend, but since Kyrie served in Holtrien's military, Andrew saw no issue in hosting him for a meal. However, Andrew held no such courtesy for the Harding family behind Kyrie. He believed in keeping matters separate, and he was not one to forget a grudge. As evening arrived, Andrew held a banquet to once again warmly host Luna, Valerie, and their group of four.

He introduced them to the members of the Dragonfang Order and elders like Othniel. When they learned that Petra, Othniel, Knox, and Juno were all martial gods, Luna and Valerie were so shocked that their mouths hung open. Even Conrad was left speechless, his feelings too complex for words. Kyrie simply kept gulping down wine, trying to calm the shock in his heart. Andrew did not even need to lift a finger now; the people around him could easily crush him and wipe out the Harding family back in Holtrien. Nyx was feeling a bit unhappy. She actively chatted with Valerie and Luna.

When the two women learned that Nyx was a martial god-level assassin, any thoughts of forming a united front to put her in her place quickly vanished. ---- As fellow women, Nyx's strength filled them with admiration and eared them a measure of respect. Luna, in particular, while unwilling to share her man Andrew, could not help but admire Nyx's excellence and talent. Kyrie got drunk at some point without even realizing how, and had to be carried off to rest. He was stunned to learn that Nyx, that stunning doll-like beauty, was a martial god.

That meant Andrew currently had five martial gods by his side. With such an overwhelming force, the Harding family was nothing in comparison Feeling oppressed and terrified, Kyrie drank himself into oblivion, thinking it was better to pass out and leave the table early than to stay there trembling and uncomfortable. Finally, when it was time to retire for the night, Andrew himself had not given it much thought. However, Nyx, Luna, and Valerie exchanged looks, and sparks seemed to fly between them. Valerie grabbed Andrew's arm with a sweet smile. "Honey, Luna and | have missed you so much.

Won't you spend the night with us?" Luna flashed a captivating smile. "Yes, honey, it's been so long. Don't you miss us?" ---- Normally, she would not say something so sweet, but with a rival like Nyx present, Luna decided to go alll out. Andrew laughed. "Alright, let's all go together." Nyx crossed her arms and said coldly, "Hold on. Our bed is only big enough for the two of us. Honey, where do you think you're going? Shouldn't you be coming back with me?" Andrew froze. "Uh..." A sudden headache hit him as he realized this was actually a huge problem. What was he supposed to do now?
