Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1749

Aaron took a deep breath, his face full of resentment. "Well, since you've already made up your mind, why bother asking for my opinion? Just let me know the time and place. Meeting you has been nothing but bad luck!"

Andrew nodded with satisfaction. "Don't worry, I won't shortchange you. Taking down Marcelo will only benefit you. No downside to that at all."

"Don't even think about it, Andrew! We're not your lackeys and won't do your dirty work!"

"Seriously, you think you can give orders to us? Who the hell do you think you are? Andrew, you're nothing but a joke!"

"Get lost! You're not worthy of ordering us around, and you sure as hell don't deserve our cooperation."

"Oh no, Mr. Lloyd, you're representing Mrs. Peck? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"That settles it, then. Whatever you need, we'll give you full support!"
