Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2416

Andrew just asked Mikayla one simple question. "You want me to work for the Owens family? Come on. "Mikayla, you're not exactly a kid anymore. Do you really think the Owens family deserves me? Or are you saying you do?"

Mikayla's face flushed bright red with anger and humiliation. "Fine! Since you don't know what's good for you, forget it. Without the Sovereign's Apothecary backing you and with the Divine Alchemists actively suppressing you from above, I'd like to see how far you get in the world of alchemy."

Andrew could not even be bothered to respond, simply turning and walking away without another word.

Amari let out a bitter laugh as they left. "Andrew, walking away like this feels good and all, but Sovereign's Apothecary is still the most prestigious alchemist institution in all of Chetvine. Are we really going to start from scratch now?

"Setting everything else aside, if we don't find a reliable group to align with, just securing the raw materials for alchemy is going to be a massive headache."

Andrew remained unbothered. "Why are you panicking? The world is vast, and no one is so important that you can't survive without them. Besides, it's obvious that the Divine Alchemists are using Sovereign's Apothecary to try to monopolize the entire field, and you saw it yourself: any alchemist who refuses to submit gets kicked out.

"This leader of theirs, Julius Bowen, clearly has a big ambition and appetite, but I'm not about to let him get what he wants."

Amari looked worried. "What are you planning to do, Andrew?"

Andrew kept walking ahead. "No rush. First, let's go talk to Madam Baxter."
