Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 2676

Quinn finally snapped out of it and realized that both Corbin and Lennox had played her for a fool. Her face instantly flushed with rage as she demanded, “Lennox, do you really not care about my genuine feelings for you?” She snapped, “You treated me like an idiot, but what about all those things you said when you were sleeping with me? What did those mean?” Lennox leaned in close, his mouth right by Quinn’s ear. He let out a series of sleazy laughs and said, “Well, it was only natural that I’d say the right things when I was sleeping with you.

Otherwise, Quinn, did you really think someone like me would actually be into a trashy slut like you? Those sweet nothings were just so I could get you into bed. It’s that simple.” Quinn’s mind buzzed, and everything went dark before her eyes. What followed was an endless wave of hatred and fury. She cursed, “Lennox, you’re nothing but an animal! Don’t think that just because you’re holding me hostage, my dad will give in to you. I’ll have you know, he has enough support and doesn’t fear you!” Lennox delivered two sharp slaps from behind, striking Quinn across the face.

The blows left her dizzy and disoriented, blood —- trickling from the corner of her mouth. He snarled. “You worthless bitch, you’re at death’s door and you still dare threaten me? Your dad has some support, but you’ve already lured him right into our trap. Any minute now, my dad’s going to finish him off. Playing your dumb-ass father was easier than breathing.” Quinn burst into hysterical sobs, screaming curses while yelling, ” Dad, run!” Milo had already turned around, trying to escape the way he came. However, the moment he turned, he froze, his expression turning extremely grim.

Behind him stood two of Corbin’s men, both martial saints. Milo had only just barely broken into the martial saint level himself. In the outside world, he might have some bragging rights, but within a major institution like the Advanced Medical Institute, he was nothing more than mediocre with a bit of luck. If it were not for that, he would not have even secured an elder position. “Corbin, so you really planned to kill me and silence me,” Milo growled, his expression contorted with rage.

“But you won’t succeed, because if my people realize I haven’t returned, they’ll come straight for you.” Corbin scoffed. “Milo, you’ll already be dead by then. And by your —- ‘people’… You mean Jerome? The only one who’s worth anything? Sure, he might cause me a bit of trouble, but we both know that with Mr. Owen Senior backing me, I can clean up anything.” He chuckled and added, “As Mr. Vazquez’s right-hand man, Mr. Owen Senior is someone you should know very well.” Milo’s last bit of hope was shattered as he screamed, “Corbin, I can drop out of the competition!

I don’t want anything anymore; I just want to live my life out in peace. Let me go. I can make Jerome come serve you.” Corbin’s expression shifted with interest. “You can actually make that happen?” Milo saw the change and lit up with desperate relief. “Yes, absolutely. And besides Jerome, there’s also a young man from the Lloyd family in Chetvine who supports me. He brought a whole group of elite fighters with him, and the Lloyd family even sent a mysterious top-tier expert. As long as you spare me, I can convince them to help you win the Director’s seat.” Corbin frowned.

“You’re telling me the Lloyd family from Chetvine sent someone to back you up?” Milo nodded, half-pleading and half-threatening, “That’s right. The Lloyd royal family sent a first-rate powerhouse to assist me. So if you let me live, I will bring them over to support you. But if —- you kill me, you will never get out of this clean.” Quinn quickly confirmed everything from the side, desperately vouching for her father. Corbin’s brows tightened even more. After a long silence, he finally relaxed and smiled. “Alright, since you’ve laid everything out like that…

As fellow apprentices, I suppose you can…” Milo brightened instantly and burst out, “Thank you! Thank you for sparing me.” Corbin shook his head. “! wasn’t done. As fellow apprentices, you can go ahead and die first. That’s the message I meant to give you.” +
