Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1826

That dumbass Calvin had already been let off the hook once. But this time, Andrew had no intention of showing mercy again. To him, it made no difference whether Calvin died in Blumedale back in Gabo Creek or right here in Goldridge.

Calvin's face twisted with rage. He had not expected Andrew to provoke him so openly. Yet, before he could say another word, a sharp scream rang out in the center of the hall.

Startled, he whipped his head around and shouted, "Terry, what happened to you?"

Terry, who had been locked in a fierce fight with Zachary, took a hard kick to the chest and stumbled backward. He landed flat on his butt, his face pale as a sheet.

Zachary pulled back and shook his head. "Terry, you're no match for me. Just step down. I'm holding back out of respect for the Peck family. I don't want to go too far."

Terry clutched his chest with a twisted expression. "You bastard, I just wasn't paying attention earlier! Come at me again! This time, I'm gonna kill you! You think you're good enough to steal my spot, you filthy mutt?"

He charged forward in three aggressive steps, aiming a direct strike at Zachary's center.

Zachary shifted back, dodging Terry's blows with swift and precise palm strikes.

Terry's eyes turned red with rage, and in a sudden frenzy, he drew a dagger and lunged straight for Zachary's chest.

Zachary let out a furious shout. "Screw you!"

He spun on his heel and slammed into Terry with a move like a charging bull.

Terry let out a blood-curdling scream and was sent flying like a broken kite, blood spraying from his mouth. However, the dagger in his hand flew loose with deadly force and drove straight into Zachary's shoulder.

Blood gushed instantly.

"Terry!"
