Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1748

"Alright, Victoria, that's all for now," Andrew said with a grin as he ended the call.

Aaron finally let out a breath of relief. When he wiped his forehead, his palm was soaked in cold sweat.

He shot Andrew a furious glare. "Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier that you and Victoria were that close? Are you trying to get me killed, you bastard?"

Andrew shrugged. "I told you already that my backing is solid. But you brushed it off, thinking your support was tougher than mine, so I had no choice but to bring out Victoria to prove it."

Aaron ground his teeth in hatred, wanting to tear Andrew apart, but lacked the courage to! His subordinates all looked terrified, swallowing hard one after another.

Andrew was puzzled. "I thought you were supposed to be a tough guy. What are you scared of?"

With a ripping sound, Aaron tore open his shirt, revealing his muscular chest and a vicious knife scar that nearly ran across his entire torso. "See this? That's what your gentle, dear aunt left me with. And all I did was kill one of her pet dogs, and she did this to me. It was just a dog!"

His look of grievance and hatred made Andrew feel somewhat sympathetic. "Oh my, Victoria does hit pretty hard indeed! But you're a grown man with so many tough guys under you, plus your backing, surely you don't need to fear one weak woman like her?"

Aaron snapped, nearly howling in outrage. "Shut the hell up! Just shut up! Listen to me—if every woman on Earth dropped dead tomorrow, that Victoria of yours still wouldn't count as a 'woman'. She didn't just slice me, she put my backer in the ICU.

"In this Gabo Creek province, I could go head-to-head with the Three Titans, no problem. But the one person I never want to cross again is Victoria. There's no one on this planet as terrifying as that woman."
