Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 Tony let out a sinister laugh .

Whats the matter ? Getting scared now ? Werent you acting tough just a minute ago ? Andrew smiled .

Im not scared .

Im just suggesting we could resolve this peacefully .

What do you think ? Tony laughed , his tone mocking .

Resolve this peacefully ? This isnt over until youre in pieces ! Get on your knees , cripple yourself , and beg for Juans forgiveness .

Maybe then well talk .

Tony relaxed back in his chair , lit a cigar , and began blowing smoke rings .

Lauren frowned .

Mr.

Madden Senior , youre being unreasonable .

We can treat Juans injuries and discuss this like civilized people .

Tony , its better to end feuds than escalate them , Dylan added gravely .

The three of us are willing to make amends .

Isnt that enough ? Tony scoffed .

This loser dared to come to my territory and challenge me .

Do you think Ill let him walk out of the East Side alive ? Thats ridiculous .

Andrew chimed in , I agree , I gave you a chance for peace , but youre too stupid to take it .

So be it .

Tonys hand tightened around his cigar , crushing it into pieces .

His face twisted with rage .

Youre damn right .

Theres nothing to discuss ! Ill burn you to ashes ! Before anyone could react , Andrews foot shot out , and he kicked Tonys chest .

Blood gushed out from Tonys mouth as he flew backward , his chair toppling over .

The entire room froze in shock .

Even East Sides top fighters had not seen the attack coming .

Lauren , Cedric , and Dylan were stunned .

Let him go ! Ive blocked several vital pressure points in your precious sons body , Andrew stated , his expression as calm as a deep lake .

If you want him dead , make your move .

If not , tell your men to back off right now .

You little bastard , Tony snarled with venom .

Youve just convinced me to destroy you , no matter the cost .

Andrews face darkened as he delivered a sharp slap to Juans face .

Ill ask one more time- are you ordering them back down or not ? Juans screams turned to strangled gurgles .

His mouth gaped open in a silent plea for help as more foam appeared on his lips , making it look like he was on the verge of death .

When Tony realized his son might actually die , he frantically waved his hands .

Stop ! Stop , I said stop !
