Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1243

"Yeah, he's got the Page family's piece, and it looks like that's not the only one."

Andrew's brow creased with concern. "Other than the Page family's, he's got more fragments?"

The man went pale as a ghost, barely getting the words out. "At least one more, besides the Page's. He kept it a secret, but I found out."

Andrew shot a glance at Ronan, whose face was a storm about to break.

It looked like the Page family's map piece had ended up in Mosby's clutches, and Ronan was feeling the heat!

Andrew pressed on, "You mentioned your mentor's out to take me down! Hmm, I'm really curious, does he even have what it takes?"

Old Hayface clenched his teeth and said, "My mentor might not be a match for you, but our top dog, my senior, is about to hit up the capital! And when he does, you're gonna get wrecked!"

Andrew quirked an eyebrow, "This senior of yours, Mosby's star pupil… Is he that tough?"

Despite his agony, Old Hayface could not help but boast, "Absolutely, you've heard of Xavier from the Hawyood family, haven't you? Our senior is the guy who can go toe-to-toe with Xavier from the Haywood family!"

Andrew's interest fizzled out. He was hoping for a real challenge, but that was turning out to be a letdown.

"Fine, you're free to go! And do me a favor. Let Mosby know that Ronan's map piece is with me now. He can come and get it whenever he wants!"

With that, Andrew flashed the Bates family's map piece.

Old Hayface was in disbelief, "Such a treasure, and Ronan just handed it over to you? I get it, you must've strong-armed or sweet-talked it out of Ronan, right?"

Andrew cracked a smile, "You really think everyone's like your mentor, a dastardly thief?"

Ronan spoke up calmly, "I gave the Bates family's map piece to Mr. Lloyd of my own free will! Tell Mosby if he wants it, I'd rather die than hand it over!
