Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1853

They had spent years laying the groundwork, pouring everything they had into this mission to kill Jerome.

It was only thanks to Alvaro arriving in Goldridge to challenge Jerome that they finally saw their chance to strike. However, no one expected Andrew to suddenly throw himself into the mix and blow the entire plan apart.

Jerome laughed wildly. "That's right! It was Dr. Lloyd who helped suppress the poison in me! If you want to kill me today, it's not impossible! But at the very least, two of you will be buried with me!"

His booming voice echoed across the Southern Martial Union's headquarters.

Outside on the stone steps and at the grand entrance where Jerome's subordinates were locked in bloody combat, his laughter reignited their morale and triggered a fierce counterattack.

Henry roared, "Edwin! Madam Valencia! We kill without hesitation! There's no turning back now! Even if the poison's been held back, the longer he fights, the more likely it'll act up! The odds are still on our side!"

With that, he led the charge, his punch whipping through the air as he lunged at Jerome. Grace and Edwin hesitated for only a second before gritting their teeth and launching themselves back into battle.

Andrew kicked Alex square in the face, and the latter let out a gut-wrenching scream as he flipped midair and slammed into the ground.

"You little brat, you…"

He was stunned. He never imagined Andrew was this strong.

Andrew grinned viciously. "Your life's mine!"

Yet, the situation still was not in their favor. If the fighting kept up, Jerome would eventually fall.

The poison from the Frostblossom was not something to mess with. Suppressing it did not mean it was gone, and if Jerome kept burning through his strength, it would explode sooner or later. When that happened, no matter how powerful he was, he would still die on the spot.

For now, Henry and the others were being held back. That bought them some time, and all Andrew needed was to finish off Alex.

He did not hesitate and turned to charge at Scarlett. While he could not directly help Jerome take on three martial saints, he could at least take down someone like Scarlett, who was only at the peak of martial king level.

She would not leave this place alive.

At this point, Andrew had completely stopped holding back. The truth was clear that if he did not kill them, they would kill him.
