Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1709

Andrew and his group normally would not have been able to get into the Blumedale military base. However, after making a phone call to Chantelle, they were immediately granted access.

At the entrance, they happened to run into Luna's aide, Leslie.

"It's you? Andrew, you've got some serious nerve coming to the military base!" Leslie sneered the moment she saw him.

Andrew replied indifferently, "Hello, Lieutenant Terrell. I'm here to find Ryder from your unit."

Leslie snorted coldly. "Unauthorized personnel are strictly forbidden from meeting our soldiers, and that's the rule!"

She added with a mocking smile, "But since you're here, Andrew, I can make an exception for you. Whether you can handle the consequences of this special treatment is another matter entirely!"

Andrew chuckled. "I’ll take my chances. So go ahead and get him for me, Lieutenant."

Leslie narrowed her eyes. "Fine, but let me be clear. General Phelan is on vacation down south, and most of our senior officers are gone. If something happens here, just know I won’t be stepping in."

Andrew sighed, impatient. "Just go get him. What, you want to remind me your boys are ready to rough me up? That’s fine. I’d actually like to see who dares."

Leslie let out a sharp laugh. "Suit yourself. You asked for it."

She honestly questioned whether Andrew had lost his mind. The soldiers in this military base weren't the same as those street thugs and lowlifes in civilian society. When they got rough with someone, they could easily put a person in the hospital!

Leslie marched into one of the training halls and shouted, "Line up!"

Immediately, a dozen soldiers stomped into formation, boots echoing against the ground. Two of them came strolling over slowly, still shirtless from training, muscles coiled and gleaming with sweat.

"Leslie!" one of them called with a smile.

It was Xavier, the eldest of the Haywoods. He was known as one of Blumedale’s golden heirs, trailing just a step behind Joe from the Driscoll family, a hardcore military man, Luna’s obsessed admirer, and Andrew’s self-declared arch-nemesis.
