Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2113

Andrew gritted his teeth and made a desperate decision. "Fine, if you want to kill someone, go ahead and kill me too!"

Shiloh's small fist finally stopped just inches from Andrew's nose. Her face remained cold as she hissed, "This is the first time, and it's the last time! If you ever dare to interfere with my business again, I won't spare you!"

With that, her figure flickered, disappearing into the forest in just a few moves.

"Where are you going?" Andrew called after her, but there was no answer.

He sighed inwardly, guessing that after regaining her identity and fragments of memory, Shiloh might return to her family's old home. As for where she would go after that or what she planned to do, he had no way of knowing.

"Young man, since you're tangled with that monster, you'll end up in hell sooner or later!" Ernesto rasped. He had barely survived and was sitting upright with a face full of cold fury.

Andrew shot him a glance and sneered. "You can barely keep yourself alive, yet you still have the nerve to lecture me. If I hadn't spoken up for you just now, do you even realize how miserable your death would have been?"

Ernesto snapped back, "Did I ask you to plead for me? I've traveled the world, and I've seen everything. If it weren't for my lack of preparation, she never would've escaped. I'll give her that much."

Andrew smirked. "And you still have the nerve to brag? You're nothing special. If I hadn't stopped Shiloh, you'd be dead a dozen times over."

Ernesto's face twisted with shame and rage. Deep down, he knew Andrew was right. It was only thanks to his intervention that both he and Morgan survived. Yet, it was the kind of truth he would rather die than admit, especially since he considered Andrew a nobody, not even worth his glance.

The cruel irony was that the same nobody had saved his life, and the thought made him burn with humiliation.

Andrew's voice suddenly turned quiet. "With your injuries, you couldn't even handle a small fry right now, could you?"

Ernesto stiffened. "What do you mean by that?"
