Before long, it became the talk of the town. Someone said, "Andrew Lloyd? Haha, that kid really knows how to stir the pot. He's pissed off so many people that his enemies are now storming out of Bridgefields just to hunt him down." "No doubt about it—he's a dead man walking. Zephyr brought the entire Stevens family with him, and I heard he even has two senior grandmasters by his side. Andrew has no way out this time!" "I wouldn't be so sure. Andrew's been making big moves in Jayrodale lately. He has deep ties with Rhodes Corporation; rumor has it he's Natasha's little plaything. If Zephyr tries to use brute force, he might end up provoking both powerhouses!" ... At that moment, Andrew had just received news that Zephyr, had arrived in Jayrodale, fully armed and ready to settle scores. He muttered, "Interesting… So, I beat up the daughter, and now the father shows up for revenge?" He clicked his tongue, feeling nothing but boredom. His first instinct was to march straight in
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 831
One announcement after another rang out as a dense crowd flooded in, shocking everyone present—Zephyr, the Stevens family from Bridgefields, and even Christina's entire household. One by one, their faces turned pale as fear set in. Irene's legs trembled so much she nearly lost her footing. "W-Why are you showing up uninvited? What do you want?" At the front of the crowd, Dylan spoke in an eerily calm tone. "To kill." Irene was so terrified she almost let out a scream before collapsing onto the floor. Leroy's forehead was drenched in sweat as he looked desperately at Christina. "Christie, what do we do? What do we do?" Both he and Irene were filled with overwhelming regret. If they had known this would happen, they never would have run their mouths in front of Zephyr. Now, they had gotten themselves into serious trouble—trouble bigger than they could ever handle. Never in their wildest dreams had they expected to stir up such a storm, bringing so many powerful people strai

Zephyr immediately flew into a rage. "Rodney, you little bastard! I haven't even settled the score with you for messing with Aspen! After I take care of that punk Andrew, I'll be visiting Madblade Martial Academy too!" Rodney's expression turned cold. "Great. I'll be right here waiting for you. But honestly, I doubt I'll ever get the chance. After today, it's still up in the air whether your Bridgefields Stevens family will even exist." Zephyr's fury burned hotter as he finally saw it for what it was—these people had come together just to take down his family. Nonetheless, he was not so easily intimidated. "Mr. Garner, Madam Vostokoff, what's the meaning of this? Who is this 'boss' of yours? As far as I know, my family has never crossed paths with him." Natasha and Dylan exchanged glances before both of them let out mocking laughs. "Mr. Zephyr, who in the world gave you the confidence to bring your entire family here to Jayrodale without even knowing what's going on? You're h
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 833
Even Zephyr was starting to feel that he had miscalculated—maybe he had been too reckless. Of course, if he was feeling that way, then Christina’s family was in an even worse state of mind. 'Is Andrew really capable of rallying so many powerful figures?' Christina wondered as she clenched her teeth, her expression darkening. If this was the comparison, then as the mere CEO of Stevens Corporation, she was nowhere near Andrew's level. Leroy swallowed hard, his scalp tingling as he muttered, "Mom, Christie, it looks like the main family is about to get crushed. What do we do? Should we run while we still can?" Irene kept telling herself to stay calm. "No, we have to hold our ground. Mr. Zephyr is the head of the Stevens family—as long as he's here, no matter how many people Andrew has, he won't be able to do anything to us!" Yet, even she did not believe her own words. Suddenly, Dylan grabbed the glass in front of him and smashed it against the floor, shattering it into piece

Christina snapped. "The facts are right before us—how is it not? If you didn't pull the strings, why are all these people targeting the main Stevens family?" Andrew let out a mocking smirk. "Christina, you're underestimating me. I don't need to manipulate anyone—understand? I ordered them directly. That's not the same as manipulation." Christina's face stiffened. Direct orders? Was he seriously claiming he had the authority to command Marvin and Radiant Group's people? She did not believe it. Nonetheless, Andrew did not care whether she believed it or not. He turned to Zephyr and gestured. "Zephyr, I'll make this simple. Give me an answer—if I'm satisfied, you and your family can leave. But if I'm not satisfied, you're not returning to Bridgefields." Zephyr let out a bitter laugh, his anger barely contained. "Andrew, you injured Aspen and humiliated my family. Now you want me to give you an answer? Do you think that's possible?" Andrew remained calm. "You should ask your
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 835
By the time Andrew walked back into the grand hall of the Stevens mansion, he was pretty satisfied with what he saw. Just as expected, not a single member of the Bridgefields Stevens family was still standing. One enforcer was dead, and the other was gravely injured. As for Zephyr—the once proud head of the family—he had been forced onto the ground, his face pressed against the floor, humiliated beyond measure. "Andrew, if you want to kill me, then do it!" Zephyr roared, his voice filled with defiance. "I won't beg!" Andrew scoffed. "Zephyr, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it." Dylan spoke up. "Mr. Lloyd, why don't we just finish Zephyr off? Then we can head north overnight and wipe out the entire Bridgefields Stevens family!" Natasha smirked cruelly. "I agree! Once we flatten Bridgefields Stevens family, we'll kill all the men and sell the women overseas as prostitutes." Andrew fell silent. Not because he was hesitating, but because he was not used to how ruthl

Aspen did not even want to imagine what would happen if Andrew had personally taken action. Even Gordon, the strongest fighter in the Bridgefields Stevens family, had already fallen. Now, there was no one left in the family who could even dream of challenging Andrew. Andrew glanced at Aspen kneeling before him and smirked. "Aspen, I was more used to you standing tall, looking at me with that arrogant gaze, speaking to me like you owned the world." Aspen's body trembled, and she quickly shook her head. "No, no, Mr. Lloyd! I wouldn't dare—I truly know my mistakes! If you want to kill me, sell me, torture me—whatever it is, I won't resist." She continued, "I just beg you, please spare my father and the rest of the Bridgefields Stevens family. They only came here because of me! If anyone deserves to die, it's me, not them!" Andrew scoffed. "The moment Gordon died, you should have known when to cut your losses. But your arrogance blinded you, Aspen. So tell me, why should I spare
Rising from the Ashes Chapter 837
Dylan, Natasha, Silas, and even Cedric watched Andrew with strange expressions. They were all waiting to see if he would take up on Aspen's offer. Rodney looked downright disappointed. He thought it was a shame. After all, Aspen might be nothing but trouble, but there was nothing to complain about her beauty. Especially those long, toned legs—he had lost count of how many times he had fantasized about wrapping them around himself. Nonetheless, it was clear that this prime piece of meat was no longer on the menu for him. Seeing that Andrew still had not responded, Aspen thought that maybe he was not satisfied. She quickly wiped her tears, smoothed out her clothes, and forced a sweet smile. "If you think there are too many people here watching, and it makes things inconvenient, I can… I can go to a hotel with you right now." As long as Andrew was willing to spare the Bridgefields Stevens family, she did not care about anything else. If she had to become his personal plaything,

Andrew waved a hand dismissively. "I don't have time to explain everything to you, and even if I did, you wouldn't understand it anyway. You just need to know this—if you want to save your father, then do exactly what I tell you to." Logan looked uncertain and shot a quick glance at Chantelle as if to ask, "Who is this guy you brought along, and what's with the ego?" Chantelle's face darkened. "Mr. Keller, this man is Andrew Lloyd—he came at Mr. McCormick's recommendation. But honestly, you don't have to take him seriously. Just carry on with your own plans—ignore him." However, Logan shook his head and turned toward Andrew. "Dr. Lloyd, go ahead. Tell me what you need. As long as it'll help my father, I'll make it happen." His respectful tone stunned Chantelle. She wondered if Logan was out of his mind for believing Andrew just like that. Andrew smiled. "My request is actually pretty simple. If I'm going to treat your father, I expect to be compensated. So, I want access to al

Chantelle could not lash out, so she gritted her teeth and quickly followed behind. Inwardly, she made a mental note to report this arrogant clown to Derek later. To her, Andrew was reckless, so full of hot air, and completely unworthy of trust—nothing but a showboating jester. … Inside the main hall of the Keller residence, the place was packed with people coming and going. A group of specialists and renowned doctors stood gathered, their brows furrowed as they exchanged anxious whispers. One commented, "Mr. Keller Senior's condition is strange—truly bizarre!" "Exactly. His entire face is paralyzed. Even his tongue won't move. He can't swallow even a spoonful of medicine!" Another chimed in, "And the worst part? No one can get within three feet of him. The second anyone tries, they get attacked—some left with cracked skulls, others… well, some didn't make it." "Jeez! That serious? Who would dare try to treat him now? No matter how much the Keller family is offering, it's no

Chantelle was behind the wheel while Andrew rode along in the passenger seat as they headed out to treat Derek's old friend, George Keller. The atmosphere inside the car was tense, with Chantelle's resting expression as frosty and detached as ever, her face practically carved from ice. Andrew was not the kind of guy to throw warmth at a wall of cold, so he simply stayed quiet, staring out the window at the passing streets. After holding back for a while, Chantelle finally could not resist and let out a mocking laugh. "Mr. Lloyd, what a clever move—create your own mess, then try to get Mr. McCormick to step in and clean it up for you. Don't you think you're playing with fire?" Andrew smiled. "Playing with fire? Nah, I don't see it that way. At this point, I'm pretty much one of Mr. McCormick's trusted men. So if the little guy's getting targeted, doesn't it make perfect sense for the boss to step in and fix it?" Chantelle was momentarily stunned before letting out a scoff. "An

Derek said coldly, "These elite families and old-money clans have been feasting off Blumedale like it's their private banquet. They think they can gorge themselves for life, rule without question, and remain unchallenged. "But as long as I'm the one calling the shots in this province, they don't get to do as they please!" Chantelle was startled. She had not expected Andrew to actually ignite Derek's fury. She silently cursed, 'This idiot is already useless on his own, and now even worse, he's using Mr. McCormick as his shield? It's despicable!' Derek turned to Andrew. "Mr. Lloyd, don't worry. Those arrogant bastards—I'll handle them and make sure you get justice. But the reason I brought you here today is something more urgent. There's a matter I need your help with." Andrew lifted a hand and said, "Mr. McCormick, say the word. If I can help, I will." Derek nodded. "Here's the situation—an old friend of mine suddenly found himself fighting for his life. We've brought in nearly

Andrew said indifferently, "I was just being honest. I don't see how that counts as a joke. And besides, didn't you dress up to please Mr. McCormick's eyes?" Chantelle, who usually stayed cool as ice, immediately felt her temper flare. "You…" Andrew could not be bothered to deal with her. Without waiting for any announcement, he pushed open Derek's office door and swaggered in. "Uncouth brute…" Chantelle gritted her teeth and followed behind him with a scowl. Derek's office, just like his reputation, was simple and understated. Aside from two traditional landscape paintings and a few framed family photos, Andrew did not see a single decorative item inside. "Mr. Lloyd, you're here—please, have a seat!" Derek stood up with a warm smile the moment Andrew walked in. Andrew chuckled. "Mr. McCormick, you're the top official in Gabo Creek Province. If you're personally welcoming me, I might start getting a big head. You go ahead and sit—I'll manage just fine." Derek took his sea

The red Ferrari sped down from the mountaintop of The Sovereign Residences, tires slicing through the breeze with precision. Aspen sat in the passenger seat, hesitating for a while before finally speaking. "That Xavier… turns out he's Seth's older brother, and even worse—he's a full-blown colonel. Andrew, a colonel in the military is basically a god to most people. You'd better… watch your back." Andrew hit the brakes and stopped right in front of the gated entrance of The Sovereign Residences. He turned with a grin. "Aspen, are you worried about my safety?" Aspen scoffed, gritting her teeth a little. "Worried is a stretch. I'm just giving you a heads-up. And don't act like it's nothing. We haven't even cleaned up the mess with Seth and Mr. Parks." She added, "And now you've provoked the Haywoods' golden boy too? All I can say is—way to add fuel to the fire." Andrew said flatly, "One loser or 100 losers, there's no real difference." At that moment, the two martial arts guard

Ethan refused to let it go. He pointed at Andrew, cursing under his breath. "Kid, I'm not gonna stoop to your level. But if I actually wanted to deal with you, you wouldn't even live to see the sunrise tomorrow. You better believe that." Xavier stepped forward and looked down at Andrew with a calm, superior gaze. "I can see you've got some skill. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to stand up to my younger brother, Seth. "But here's a word of advice—you've made too many enemies. And your attitude? It's practically begging for trouble. Sooner or later, it'll catch up to you." Andrew raised a brow. "So that scumbag Seth is your little brother, huh? That means you're from the Haywoods." Although Xavier tried maintaining a cool, aloof front, a hint of arrogance still slipped through his mask. "I'm the eldest son of the Haywoods. Go ask anyone on the streets of Blumedale—see if there's a soul who doesn't know the name Xavier Haywood." Andrew shook his head. "Sorry, but I'm not

Andrew replied coolly, "Alright, fine. I did do it on purpose. But the only reason I chose the room next to yours was so it'd be easier for you to wake me up in the mornings. Nothing more—so don't go overthinking it." Aspen crossed her arms and let out a cold laugh. "You think I'm buying that?" Andrew shrugged. "Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. Even if I asked you to warm my bed at night, would you dare say no?" "You…" Aspen was instantly at a loss for words. Her cheeks turned pink as she silently fumed. She was sure that the bastard Andrew was still lusting after her body. Andrew seemed to read her mind and scoffed, "You dumb woman. Don't flatter yourself. Do you really think the only reason I went through the trouble of snatching Serenity Villa from Zachary and picked the room next to yours was just to sleep with you?" As Aspen let out a sarcastic chuckle, Andrew headed downstairs, adding, "I did it because you're weak. If you got yourself killed because of on

Aspen ran through every room and checked out the front and back of the house. By the end of it, her legs were sore. Even so, instead of feeling tired, her delicate face was lit up with excitement and wonder. "Hey, this place is hands-down the best, fanciest, and most expensive location I've ever seen in my life!" she said, rubbing her aching calves while smiling up at Andrew. Andrew replied casually, "Judging by that smile you can't wipe off your face, I'm guessing you're falling in love with it?" Aspen pouted. "Saying I'm not would just be lying to myself. Serenity Villa is clearly the kind of estate that money alone can't buy. A place like this… I'd say only the top families in Blumedale are worthy of it." Andrew let out a dismissive snort. "Don't put those so-called Blumedale elites on a pedestal. Serenity Villa isn't some heavenly paradise. Just remember—the view from the top is always the most breathtaking. And Blumedale in Gabo Creek Province? That place barely makes it t
