Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 23 Andrew, you need to run! Get out of Jayrodale, now! Christina urged, her eyes filled with worry after carefully considering the situation.

Andrew calmly replied, I dont think thats necessary.

Christina flew into a rage, shouting, Dont you understand? Youre in trouble! How can you say its not necessary? Andrew smirked

So what? Do you think Ive caused trouble for your family? That Im giving you problems? Isnt that exactly whats happening? The retort left Andrew speechless.

Irene grabbed Christinas arm, pulling her away.

Christie, lets go

All this trouble is because of this jerk.noveldrama

It has nothing to do with us.

Come on, lets leave.

Leroy chimed in, Christie, lets go

Harvey is coming back from overseas tomorrow, and he can help us handle this.

Stevens Corporation wont be affected.

Christina nodded quickly.

Youre right

Harveys coming back tomorrow.

Hell sort this out.

Everything will be fine.

She turned to Andrew, her expression complicated.

Andrew, you should run.

Dont worry.

Ill ask Harvey to intervene and calm Dylans anger.

Youll be okay, but you probably cant return to Jayrodale.

Andrew chuckled sarcastically.

Is that so? Ms.

Stevens, youre so generous, asking your fiancé to save your exs life.

Should I prepare a big thank you gift for your oh so powerful fiancé ? Hearing the mockery in Andrews

tone, Christina shook her head, disappointed.

Youre hopeless.

Even at a time like this, youre still jealous

Let me tell you an uncomfortable truth: Harvey has the power to handle Dylan.

You might not like it, but its the truth, she added firmly.

Andrew replied coldly, He must be really something.

But I dont need anyone else to handle my business.

With that, he walked away.

Shawn saw an opportunity and approached with a friendly smile.

Christie, that loser doesnt appreciate your help

Hes doomed.

I was forced to act the way I did earlier.

Dont be angry.

The Fields family will do everything we can to help mediate.

Christina responded indifferently, That wont be necessary.

From now on, Stevens.

Corporation wont be troubling the Fields family.

Irene scoffed

Shawn, the Fields family should just stay out of this.

Youre nothing compared to Harvey.

As Christinas family walked away, Shawns face darkened.

Bitch! Youll see! he thought bitterly.

Later that night, in a large underground fight club on the south side of the city, over a thousand spectators cheered as two men faced off in the ring.

One was built like a wrestler, with a fierce face and a chest covered in black halt.

He charged forward with a roar.

His opponent was an unassuming young man with a friendly smile who looked harmless.

With lightning speed, the smiling youth struck the big mans throat and immediately withdrew hist hand.

The big mans expression froze, and he stood there rigidly.

The audience was confused, not sure what had happened

Meanwhile, the smiling youth had already left the ring, with his follower draping a jacket over his shoulders.

It was only then that the big man collapsed with a thud

The referee checked and announced, trembling, Hes dead! The crowd was silent for a moment before erupting into excited cheers.

Dylan ! Dylan ! Dylan is unbeatable ! No one can defeat him! Dylan was known to be a wolf in sheeps clothing, looking harmless but actually cruel.

Mr.

Garner, Baldy and his crew failed, one of Dylans men reported as he left the fight club

Dylans smile barely changed.

What happened? The person replied nervously, According to Baldy, they ran into trouble.

One guy took them all out.

Dylans smile took on a sinister edge.

Useless.

We have intel on every tough guy in Jayrodale.

Whos going to believe some nobody took out a dozen of my best men? His follower only laughed nervously, not daring to respond.

Dylan, still smiling, ordered, Everyone who failed, cut off one of their hands as punishment. And find that guy.

Send Bobby to take care of him.
