Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 2746

Jerome arrived just in time. Recently, he and Eric had been traveling through Chetvine. He had been making the rounds, visiting all his old friends in Chetvine one by one. Along the way, he had been introducing his Eric to these old acquaintances. However, Eric, being the unruly type, got bored early and left on his own. That was how he ended up running into Brielle and the people from the Divine Alchemists on the road. Meanwhile, Jerome was heading back when he happened to witness Eric getting into a fight with them.

His composed demeanor and authoritative presence made the Divine Alchemists’ enforcers instinctively pause in their tracks. Damon narrowed his eyes and said, “Sir, are you planning to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong?” Jerome replied respectfully, “I apologize. He’s my son, and I’d like to know how he had offended you so I can apologize on his behalf.” This was classic old-school diplomacy, immediately taking responsibility to shut down any excuse Damon might have to escalate things. —- Damon scoffed coldly and said, “He has some nerve.

Our people from the Divine Alchemists were handling our own business, and he stuck his nose in it. Do you really think that I, as an elder, can let this slide?” As he finished speaking, Damon wore a mocking half-smile. He wanted those three words, “the Divine Alchemists,” to hit Jerome like a ton of bricks. Even though the person in front of him gave off a strong presence, the stronger someone was, the more they should understand the weight that the Divine Alchemists carried. Jerome’s heart skipped a beat.

He remained as respectful as ever as he said, “So you’re an elder from the prestigious Divine Alchemists. I’m Jerome Thornton, and it’s an honor to meet you.’ Damon felt somewhat disappointed. Jerome’s reaction was not as extreme as he had expected. It did not match his prediction of someone immediately cowering in fear, bowing and scraping to apologize. Moreover, he thought Jerome’s name sounded awfully familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. At that moment, Brielle stepped forward from behind and said, ” You’re the leader of the Southern Martial Union, Mr. Jerome Thorton.

I’m Brielle Baxter, and I’m pleased to meet you, Mr. Thornton. Also, thank you to your son for saving me just now.” —- Jerome clasped his hands and replied, “Don’t mention it!” However, Damon was startled. He finally realized why Jerome’s name sounded so familiar. Looking at Jerome again, his expression darkened. He silently cursed, ‘Damn, it’s really one thing after another. Every corner you turn in Chetvine, you’re crossing paths with someone major!” Killing Eric to vent his anger was now out of the question. After all, Jerome was a formidable opponent.

Without further delay, Damon ordered his apprentices, “Take her away.” Then, he warned Jerome, “Mr. Thornton, you’re a man of considerable influence, but your son has poor manners. You should take him home and discipline him properly. Otherwise, one day he’ll disrespect the wrong people and meet with some unfortunate accident.” The curse and threat in those words were crystal clear. Jerome simply replied flatly, “How I discipline my own child is my own business. That doesn’t require your concern.” Damon silently fumed.

Jerome was clearly asking for it too, but for now, it was not the right time to deal with him. He needed to —- take Brielle away first Meanwhile, Brielle took a step back and said coldly, “Damon, I’m not going back with you. Mr. Thornton, please help me out. I’m the head of Sovereign’s Apothecary, and I’m good friends with Andrew. This man injured me and wants to forcibly take me away. Please, for Andrew’s sake, help me.” Jerome said in surprise, “So you’re the head of Sovereign’s Apothecary and a friend of Andy?

Since you’ve asked, I’ll definitely help you.” He immediately stepped forward, standing face to face ina standoff with Damon. Damon was furious and shouted, “Mr. Thornton, what’s the meaning of this?” Jerome replied calmly, “Not much. As long as I’m here, you’re not taking this lady anywhere.” Eric pulled out his phone and called Andrew, saying, “Hey, bring some people over here. I just got jumped. Don’t ask too many questions, just get here fast. The more people, the better. These damn dogs from the Divine Alchemists actually had the nerve to mess with me.

Plus, there’s a Madam Baxter here, and she got hurt too. Get here now!”
