Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1857

"Kill him!"

"That's right! Letting Jerome go is like releasing a wild beast back into the mountains!"

"If we don't rip this little bastard to pieces today, I swear, this fury in my chest will never be satisfied!"

The hunched Grace was the first to lunge at Andrew, her rage overflowing.

Andrew took a step back and gripped the massive crimson pill in his hand. It was an Elixir of Immortality, a tenth-grade Divine Pill. Swallowing it would instantly push his strength to the limit, but the consequences were unpredictable.

Still, surrounded on all sides, Andrew did not have the luxury to overthink.

"Wait!"

Henry rushed in and said in a low, commanding voice, "Forget about Andrew for now. Madam Valencia, Edwin, we need to follow the Moonveil River and hunt Jerome down! His wounds are life-threatening. Even if he managed to hide in the water, he can't stay under forever. If we don't kill him for good, he'll always be a threat waiting to resurface!"

Grace clenched her jaw and let out two more furious growls. Then, her short frame darted across the riverbank, chasing after Jerome without hesitation.

Edwin gave Andrew one last long, cold stare, said nothing, and followed right after with his cane.

Henry's eyes gleamed with cold intensity as he stared Andrew down, then finally scoffed. "I should just end you right here, but killing you changes nothing because Jerome already got away. If you've got half a brain, you'll come to me yourself and beg for a way out. Otherwise, don't think you'll ever make it out of Goldridge alive."

With that, he gave Eric a sharp glance before turning to chase after Grace and Edwin.

Andrew silently let out a sigh of relief. If he had to take on three martial saints by himself, his only hope would be to unleash all three seals within his body. Even then, it might not be enough. His last shot at survival would have been that Elixir of Immortality.

Luckily, their top priority was still Jerome. As much as they hated Andrew, they knew killing him now would be meaningless.
