Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1851

Andrew sneered and said, "But what about you? You blame Mr. Thornton for not letting you gain any benefits. Do you really think you deserve anything? You old bastard. You're ancient, yet your appetite's still huge. Don't even try to pretend like you've got a sense of justice."

He continued, "Alex, aren't you afraid? You stuffed yourself while you were alive, but aren't you scared of what will happen to you once you're dead?"

Alex's whole body trembled, his rage boiling over. "You little bastard! Today, I will personally take your damn life!"

It baffled him that Andrew was refusing to beg for mercy and was even throwing insults as if he had a death wish.

How could someone so young be so outrageously bold?

Andrew let out a cold laugh. "What? You're pissed now? Then come on. Step forward, and let's talk this out. Was there anything that I wrongly accused you of? Or anything I made up?"

Alex's face shifted from pale to purple as he charged forward, his aura surging, ready to attack. His killing intent toward Andrew had already reached its peak.

Andrew casually took a few steps to the right, as if he did not have a care in the world, and said, "Hold up, Alex."

Alex stopped, his face dark. "What? Got some last words before I end you?"

Andrew calmly replied, "Funny. That's exactly what I was about to ask you. Any last words you want to leave behind? I bet you still don't know that I already figured out you're the one who betrayed Mr. Thornton."

Alex's eyes widened, his eyelids twitching like crazy. Then, he burst into a cruel laugh. "You little rat. Even now, you're trying to bluff me? Fine. In that case, I'm going to destroy you today!"

Andrew looked unbothered and said with ease, "If you don't believe me, go ahead. Channel your energy and check your sternum point. Back when I was treating Mr. Thornton, I lit some incense.

"Truth is, that was no ordinary incense. The poison's already seeped into your organs. Without the antidote, you've got no way out. If you don't get it soon, then by this time next year, people will be lighting candles for your death anniversary."

Alex paused mid-step, suddenly unsure. He recalled how, during Jerome's treatment, Andrew had indeed burned some incense in the room.

However, that was usually done to calm the nerves. So, how could it be poisonous?

From behind, Scarlett reminded him just in time, "Alex, this guy's medical skills are strange. You'd better check your energy pathways just in case."
