Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2152

The Cunningham family in Chetvine was one of the ten great aristocratic houses in the city. The line between a powerhouse and a wealthy family was simple: if the family had a martial emperor-level figure sitting at the top, then it was considered a powerhouse.

Meanwhile, the Cunningham family was rumored to have two martial emperors, giving them influence across Holtrien and even the world.

"Special Ops' director, Barnaby Hale, here to pay respects to the Cunningham family!"

A convoy pulled up, and the notorious director of Special Ops, often called the mad dog, stepped out with a smile.

The Cunninghams remained calm and polite. "Mr. Hale! Please, come inside."

Barnaby held real power and influence in Chetvine. However, when he came to the Cunningham residence, he was just another visitor.

This was because the Cunninghams not only had people with higher positions than him, but also those who could outfight him.

Soon, Barnaby was escorted to the Cunningham residence's reception hall.

The Cunningham family's head butler, Mateo Parrish, arrived fashionably late and clasped his hands apologetically. "Sorry about that, Mr. Hale. I was just handling some business and got delayed."

Barnaby quickly stood up. "No problem at all, Mr. Parrish. You're a busy man with countless matters to handle, and I understand that completely."

Mateo looked like nothing more than an ordinary old man. However, Barnaby dared not show even a trace of disrespect.

One, because anyone serving at the gates of such a clan already held serious weight, and two, because this unassuming man was known as the Reaper, the Cunningham family's number one executioner.

Very few knew of his true reputation, and Barnaby was unlucky enough to be among them. He knew one thing for sure: this man was not someone you could afford to offend.

"Mr. Hale, you're an equally busy man. For you to come here personally, there must be something important," Mateo said as his cold eyes swept toward Barnaby.
