Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1710

Ryder said, "I'm a military officer, one of General Phelan's key personnel! Andrew might have money and power, but in the eyes of the military folks, he's absolutely nothing!"

Xavier ordered, "Ryder, gather 50 men and come with me to meet Andrew. Remember, go all out when the time comes."

He added coldly, "Whatever the consequences, I'll take responsibility!"

Leslie spoke up, "Xavier, don't kill anyone. As long as no one dies, you can rough him up however you want. That's exactly the effect the General wants anyway, to knock this punk down a peg!"

Xavier replied coolly, "Luna isn't here, so I'm in charge right now! Leslie, stay out of this. Whatever disaster befalls this little punk, he brought it on himself!"

Leslie hesitated, clearly uneasy. But in the end, she said nothing. If someone really died, she could spin it as Andrew’s own fault.

Luna would understand.

…

Meanwhile, Andrew and his group stood by the training field, bored, casually watching soldiers drill. When they turned around, they saw Xavier and Leslie leading 50 fierce soldiers straight toward them in a tight formation.

Whenever enemies met, emotions would flare.

Xavier looked thrilled. He said smugly, "Andrew, you’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. Walking into a military base like this? You really think you’re untouchable?"

Andrew did not even look at him. "It’s just a military base, not some flaming death trap. And honestly, Mr. Haywood, you’re making it sound way more dramatic than it is. Fun fact: I used to clean house in bases like this all the time."

The entire group went silent for a second. Then, they burst into wild laughter, full of disbelief and mockery.

Leslie sneered. "Are you serious right now? You beat people up in military bases? What are you, a general?"

Andrew’s tone did not waver. "Wrong. I’m not a general. But I do have the authority to command them."
