Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2609

Jericho's tone turned cold. "What kind of dirty trick are you trying to pull now? Andrew, I'd suggest you stop digging your own grave."

Andrew frowned impatiently. "So what, you want me to shout it out loud? If someone else hears and gets there first, don't come crying to me when Swordhaven Keep loses it."

Jericho was irritated, but he knew Andrew was not wrong.

Onyx and Ivory said calmly, "Sir, go ahead. If he dares to try anything funny, we'll cut him down before he even moves."

Jericho took a deep breath and stepped closer to Andrew.

Andrew smirked. "So you are afraid of dying, huh? If I'd known you were such a coward, I wouldn't have bothered with you earlier."

Jericho sneered. "Don't worry. You'll pay for that sharp tongue soon enough."

When he got close, Andrew lowered his voice. "The sword is… actually, forget it. I'll take you there myself."

Jericho's face turned red. "You!"

Rage boiled inside him. He wanted to tear Andrew apart piece by piece.

Andrew chuckled, patted his shoulder, and said, "Relax, man. I was just kidding with you. Come on."

Without waiting for a reply, he headed straight back toward Swordhaven Keep.

Onyx and Ivory exchanged puzzled looks before glancing at Jericho.

Jericho's face was dark as he growled, "Follow him. He wants to lead the way himself."

They turned and silently followed Andrew, though both of them looked uneasy.

Jericho could feel his blood boiling; Andrew was playing him like a fool.

When they returned to Swordhaven Keep, Andrew walked straight toward his quarters.
