Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1417

Under the eager gazes of the crowd waiting for a show, Andrew stood up. Ignoring Duncan's menacing expression, he looked straight at him and sneered coldly.

"Spencer started the trouble himself, which led to his current situation! As his father, instead of disciplining your son first, you come to blame me? Mr. Irving Senior, your family's values are seriously lacking!"

The crowd erupted in shock.

"Damn, this kid actually has the nerve to lecture Mr. Irving Senior?"

"Does he really have a death wish? Mr. Irving Senior is notorious in the Gabo Creek Chamber for his ruthless methods!"

"He beat up the man's son—he should just get on his knees and beg for mercy instead of running his mouth here. No doubt about it, he's going to die horribly!"

In his fury, Duncan's cane lashed out violently, not at Andrew, but splitting the dining table beside him clean in half. His rage was evident as he snarled, "Who do you think you are to judge how my family conducts itself? That's our business!

"How dare an outsider, some insignificant little brat, presume to criticize me? Andrew, if it weren't for the Keller family's sake today, I wouldn't waste another word on you—I'd simply order your ruin and show you what true misery means!"

Duncan had an extremely volatile temper, and his entire being radiated the brutal aura unique to those in power, causing many people to instinctively step back. They all sneered inwardly, thinking Andrew was finished—absolutely finished.

Only one person did not think so—the chubby Elon standing far away. He also thought someone was finished, but it would be Duncan, the family patriarch, and the entire Irving family.

"Today is Mr. Keller Senior's birthday, and I don't want to start trouble at the Keller residence," Andrew said casually, though his actions said otherwise.

He pressed his finger directly against Duncan's chest and continued, "Let's go outside and settle this properly. Your family thinks it's hot shit and wants to hold me accountable? Fine—I'm not exactly a pushover either. I'll just wipe out your entire family. You're nothing but a bunch of weaklings in my eyes."

By the end of his words, Andrew's expression had turned ice-cold. The Irvings were not even at the level of The Five Apex Families, yet they had the attitude of a first-class dynasty family without the power to back it up.

Andrew absolutely could not tolerate that kind of arrogance. He had even dared to take on Rafael from one of the Three Titans. So, what was the measly Irving family to him?

The crowd gasped in unison.
