Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1379

Kevin introduced himself, "Dr. Lloyd, I'm Kevin, head of the Wrights family. I was hoping to introduce myself through my daughter, Yara."

Given Kevin's polite tone and out of respect for Yara, Andrew did not put on a cold face right away.

He stepped out of the car with a smile. "Mr. Wright. Nice to meet you. But if we're just making introductions, then we've already met. And now, I'm going home. Take care."

Andrew's dismissive tone toward one of the Five Apex Family patriarchs stunned Kevin a little. He did not feel insulted—no, what he felt was dread.

Kevin thought, 'Damn it. The Wrights' status really doesn't mean anything to this kid anymore.'

However, Quinton was not nearly as self-aware. He chimed in gloomily. "Andrew, what's with the attitude? Do you even know what kind of power our family holds in Blumedale?"

Andrew sneered. "Power? I didn't even give a damn about Rafael. What makes you think the Wrights are more important than the Driscolls?"

Quinton was stunned. "Y-You ignored Mr. Driscoll? Andrew, if you've crossed him, you're dead. You've got no idea what you're in for!"

Andrew's eyes swept to Kevin, and he said slowly, "Mr. Wright, your son talks more than you do. He's loud and arrogant. Look at how he's already threatening me! I'm shaking in my boots."

The corner of Kevin's lips twitched slightly. As if Andrew would ever be scared—no one would buy that.

Without another word, he slapped Quinton hard across the face. "You little brat! Who the hell gave you the right to act up in front of Dr. Lloyd? Now get your ass over here and greet your godfather!"

Quinton's glare could have burned through steel, but Kevin did not care.

Andrew raised a hand. "Hold on, Mr. Wright. What did you just say? Godfather?"

Kevin chuckled. "That's right, Dr. Lloyd. I plan to become sworn brothers with you. Which means my good-for-nothing son here becomes your son too. Once we're bound, our families become one. Your business becomes our business. And if anything threatens you, the Wrights will fight to the death at your side."
