Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 3254 Guillermo's face twisted with rage as he clenched his teeth. "Are you threatening me? Don't forget that the Hearst family's interests in Chetvine still depend on me." The voice on the other end exploded. "Shut up, you old bastard! Others may give you face, but the Hearst family doesn't need to grovel to you. I'll tell you one more time: if anything happens to Patriarch Pablo in Chetvine... Guillermo, you will not walk away from this. "Because of your personal feud with Andrew, my family already showed you enough courtesy and even helped you.

And now you tell me that Patriarch Pablo ran into trouble in Chetvine?" He scoffed and continued, "Mr. Vazquez, spare me the official talk. | can already guess what you consider 'trouble'. Wait and see. I'll take people to the Lloyd family immediately and demand to see Patriarch Pablo in person. If he's not found, then I'm sorry .» Chetvine will run red with blood!" Guillermo's face turned livid. He never expected the other side to be so disrespectful, calling him an old bastard. After all, he was still Holtrien's National Advisor, the nation's public representative.

But now, a prominent family like the Hearsts was showing him open contempt. ---- In the past, Guillermo would have made this disrespectful man pay dearly. At the very least, he would have forced him to kneel in apology and cut off one of his own arms. That much respect, he believed, even the Hearst family of the Hearstlands would have given him. But now, everything has changed. Andrew's return to Chetvine and his relentless assaults had caused Guillermo's reputation and influence to plummet. Every day, more factions quietly distanced themselves from him, the once-untouchable National Advisor.

Guillermo slammed a fist onto the table and hissed, "Damn it!" He suddenly regretted inviting Pablo to Chetvine. Andrew had landed in huge trouble, and Guillermo himself would not escape unscathed. Lorenzo, standing nearby and seeing his terrifyingly dark expression, whispered cautiously, "Mr. Vazquez, we should probably tell the truth. After all, it was Andrew who killed Pablo.

The Hearst family's fury will be directed solely at the Lloyd family." He continued, "You may still be implicated, but the Hearst family ---- will not truly turn against us completely." Guillermo clenched his teeth, his face shrouded in darkness, After a long pause, he growled, "Do it. Report Patriarch Pablo's situation to the Hearstlands immediately. Let the Hearst family decide how to proceed. Dammit, that little bastard has really screwed me over! But if I'm going down, he'll go down even harder. He has to die!" Lorenzo quickly added, "Yes, he must die! So, Mr.

Vazquez, there's only one way for you to completely clear yourself now. That's for us to kill Andrew first. That way, the Hearst family's rage will be partially sated. Though their patriarch is dead, you would've avenged him. No matter how much they blame us, they're sure to calm down a little." Guillermo carefully considered this idea, then finally smirked viciously. "Lorenzo, you've improved greatly. My anger clouded my judgment earlier, and | didn't think of that! You're right. The best way for me to avoid responsibility now is to strike first.

If | kill Andrew, even if the Hearst family wants to hold me accountable, they'll have to think twice." Lorenzo asked excitedly, "Then how do you plan to act, Mr. Vazquez?" Guillermo gave a mysterious, sinister smile. "No rush. The person I'm waiting for should be arriving in Chetvine soon." ---- Lorenzo kept his expression calm, but suspicion churned in his mind. Could it be Orson? No, the military had already moved, clearly to intercept Orson. So, the person Guillermo was waiting for was someone else.

Perhaps it was Julius, the sect leader of the Divine Alchemists, or maybe even someone different entirely. Lorenzo could not figure it out. These days, Guillermo no longer told him everything.
