Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1803

With their trip to Goldridge coming up tomorrow, Andrew had some free time and decided to head over to the Rhodes residence for a quick visit. After that, he made a stop at the Peck residence to check in on Victoria.

Both Tiana and Victoria had reminded him to be cautious during this trip.

The Southern Martial Union's main headquarters were located in Goldridge, and it had always been known as a hotbed of drama. This organization oversaw martial artists across all southern provinces, and its leader, Jerome, was nothing short of a powerhouse.

Though Gabo Creek province was not far away from Goldridge, bringing Lauren and the other two girls along meant Andrew had to stay even more alert. Jerome held a selection for his inner disciples every year, and chaos followed.

The spots for inner disciples were extremely limited. Yet, countless families and martial sects sent their people to compete for Jerome's attention. The competition for these coveted positions often led to intense rivalries, bloodshed, and sometimes even deaths.

Victoria's concerns went much deeper than just immediate safety. She encouraged Andrew to build a strong relationship with Jerome, as this would greatly benefit his future dominance in Gabo Creek.

In martial arts, there could only be one undisputed champion. Every martial artist dreamed of claiming that one-in-a-million first-place position. This was exactly why people were so fascinated by the two major rankings—the Underworld Index and the Titan List.

Andrew was merely a martial artist, but Victoria had always wanted to push him to become Gabo Creek's number one. In other words, she wanted him to be known as the King of Gabo Creek in martial circles.

This stunning woman's ambitions were every bit as grand as Tiana's. The difference was that Victoria was willing to dedicate all her beliefs and energy entirely to Andrew.

This overwhelming devotion left Andrew unsure how to handle such intense feelings. When he thought about how Reginald probably had not contacted Victoria in years, he felt even more guilty about the situation.
