Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 2665

Jerome frowned. “If we just show up like this, won’t it start a fight?” Milo sneered. “Don’t worry. As long as I’m willing to humble myself just alittle before Koda, that arrogant young man will get so full of himself he’ll forget where he stands. Little does he know, he’s just a stepping stone for me to become the Director.” Andrew smiled. “I have no problem with that. Just give the order, and I’ll be the first to charge forward.” Milo appreciated that and said, “Mr. Lloyd, I’ll say it again.

Once things work out for me, Quinn will be your perfect wife.” Andrew immediately waved it off and said, “Let’s not do that. Ms. Avila is beautiful, capable, and refined, so you should keep her and marry her off to someone else with real potential.” Milo choked on that answer, and he instantly realized Andrew was disgusted by his daughter’s behavior. Just thinking about Quinn’s revolting actions made Milo’s expression darken again. Once everything had settled down, he would have to find time to severely discipline that disgrace of a daughter.

—- With Milo leading the way, Andrew, Jerome, and Eric headed out to meet Koda. Most of the Advanced Medical Institute’s territory and people were already under Corbin’s control. Koda, relying on his sheer aggression and his early advantage, held a section on the west side. The place was easy to defend and hard to breach, plus it used to be Quentin’s private residence. As they walked, Milo said with a mocking tone, “Mr. Livingston died right here, killed by the disciple he trusted the most.

He never expected the place he cherished would turn into his burial ground.” Jerome snorted and said, “In our world, betraying your mentor is the biggest taboo, and one day, Koda will pay the price for what he did.” Milo huffed. “And I will be the agent of that justice. After I take down both Corbin and Koda, I’m sure Mr. Livingston’s spirit will be grateful to me.” Andrew thought, ‘Mr. Livingston won’t thank you. He’ll just wave and say hello, because you’re probably going to meet him pretty soon yourself.’ “Stop right there!” two of Koda’s men shouted from the ridge on the west side.

Their expressions were unfriendly as they blocked —- Andrew’s group Milo’s face turned stormy, and he slapped both of them twice without hesitation. “Move, you blind idiots. Can’t you see I’m here to see Koda?” he snapped. The two disciples had taken a beating for nothing. They were furious, but they did not dare to say a word. “Mr. Avila, quite the entrance you made.” Koda’s voice came from behind them as he walked up with his massive broadsword resting on his shoulder. He arrived so fast that Andrew realized Koda must have been on high alert for Corbin.

With the duel scheduled for tomorrow, he was clearly afraid something might happen today, so he was constantly monitoring the outside situation and keeping all his subordinates close by. He was actually quite meticulous and thorough in his planning But even so, having killed his own mentor to take his place, this cold-blooded man earned nothing but contempt and disdain from Andrew. “Koda, I’ve come to talk with you. If you don’t want to be destroyed by Corbin without even knowing why, you’d better invite me inside to discuss this properly,” Milo said coldly. —- Koda remained unmoved.

He glanced at Jerome, and he asked, ” May I ask if you are Mr. Jerome Thornton?” Jerome stepped forward with a smile. “That’s me, though you ought not to be so formal with me. Koda, your exceptional abilities are truly admirable.” Koda’s expression became serious. “Not at all! I know about your position as the leader of the Southern Martial Alliance. Mr. Thornton, please, come in.” Milo snorted and strutted inside arrogantly, completely oblivious to the fact that Koda was showing respect to Jerome, not him. “Hold it!” But when Andrew followed them in, Koda suddenly shouted coldly.

Immediately, his massive sword pointed straight at Andrew with murderous intent. “L only invited Mr. Thornton inside. And who exactly are you? If you’re some nobody, then leave immediately. I respect nothing; I only respect heroes and warriors. If you’re just a nobody, then I’m sorry, but you’re not welcome here.”
