Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2117

"Real deal, no fakes!" Andrew shrugged, looking calm as Eric stared at him with his mouth wide open.

"Otherwise, what did you think made me this badass?"

Eric sneered. "There are at least a thousand people in this world who want to claim Reginald as their father. You're just another shameless brat with thicker skin than the rest… I can see right through your façade!"

Andrew raised a brow. "So you really don't believe me?"

"I don't!" Eric shot back stubbornly. "If I did, that would make me your son!"

Reginald's only child, the royal heir of the Lloyd family. Eric believed Andrew did not deserve that kind honor. However, his eyes widened as he saw Andrew start unbuttoning his shirt.

"What are you doing?" Eric asked, panic creeping into his voice.

Andrew bared his chest as he stepped closer. "Didn't you say you don't believe me? I'll make you believe."

Eric's face flushed with humiliation as his thoughts spiraled.

Was Andrew about to prove himself, or was he planning something far worse?

"I'm telling you right now, I'm not into that. Put your shirt back on! You like women, stop messing around with this nonsense!"

Andrew's expression darkened with a line of exasperation across his face. "Relax. No matter how desperate I get, I wouldn't touch you. Look, see it now? Proof enough of the Lloyd family's dragon bloodline?"

Eric froze as his eyes locked on the Blood-Eyed Black Dragon tattoo on Andrew's chest. His eyes widened, and when he looked back up, it was as if he was seeing Andrew for the first time.

Andrew buttoned his shirt and shrugged. "I told you my background is amazing. You just kept running your mouth. Now, as your older brother, I order you to chase after Mr. Thornton and give him a proper farewell. Then, you're coming back with me to Blumedale."

Eric's expression twisted with conflict. He had not expected Andrew to really have such an impressive background.

Andrew could have been lying, but the tattoo on his chest was undeniable. The guy really was like a phoenix in the sky, a leviathan in the deep, something beyond reach.
