Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1901

Andrew realized that he had forgotten about someone: Rowan!

She had risked her own life trying to rescue him earlier. Although she had not succeeded, the gesture alone spoke volumes.

While Andrew did not feel any romantic stirrings for her just yet, he still felt somewhat indebted to her, especially since he had successfully escaped from Goldridge. If she had not heard the news and tried again to pull some reckless stunt, that would spell real trouble.

Soon, Andrew calmed down. The great battle at the Yeager estate would definitely shake all of Goldridge. And later, when Victoria stormed in solo, it definitely stirred the pot even more.

Plus, Riker, the unfortunate leader of Hidden Dragons, ended up barely clinging to life. All those events stacked together had to be big enough for Rowan to catch wind of what happened.

So, if word had gotten out that he had already made it out alive, she would have known to stand down. That reckless brat would surely know how to avoid danger.

Still, the Onyx Serpents were in a rough spot. With Jerome no longer serving as leader, the Southern Martial Union headquarters was now controlled by the McCormick family elite.

Of the three major gangs in Gabo Creek, two had already switched sides to the new power, and only the Onyx Serpents remained unwilling to submit.

If this continued, they would definitely face retribution.

Andrew wondered how Rowan would decide to handle things. Fortunately, he knew there was still an elder behind Rowan.

This person was considered the Onyx Serpents' guardian expert, and with this elder around, even if the Onyx Serpents could not counterattack, they should be able to escape safely.

Andrew checked his energy core, feeling the burning heat pulsing deep within. A slow grin crept across his face. His Inferno Strike was growing more powerful by the day, another weapon to help him stay alive.
