Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572 Chapter 572 Behind the scenes , Marvin maintained lils respectful demeanor .

He knew better than to take liberties when speaking privately with Andrew .

Meanwhile , Tianas expression was dark as thunderclouds , she had fully expected the Madblade Martial Academy to crash the party and humble Andrew .

Yet , to her dismay , Rodney and his crew had shown up not to fight , but to deliver an elaborate gesture of goodwill .

Tiana struggled to comprehend why the academy , known for its pride and arrogance , would humble themselves before Andrew .

Mr.

Sanford , youre quite a rare visitor .

I dont recall sending an invitation to the Madblade Martial Academy , Andrew remarked with a faint , mocking smile , his tone distant .

The crowd gasped .

Many thought Andrew was pushing his luck .

The Madblade Martial Academy had come to show respect , yet here he was , giving them a cold shoulder .

It seemed reckless , even suicidal .

Rodney , visibly embarrassed , chuckled awkwardly and replied , Youre absolutely right , Dr.

Lloyd .

We came uninvited and might have caused some disturbance .

Please forgive the intrusion .

The other Madblade Martial Academy members , including Dean , all wore sheepish expressions .

For martial artists , respect was earned through strength , not words .

Andrews previous encounter at their academy had left a deep and unforgettable impression , which explained why none of them dared to show even the slightest annoyance despite Andrews blunt demeanor , Ivan , the towering giant from the academy , who had mostly recovered from his previous injuries , forced a stiff smile as he stepped forward .

Dr.

Lloyd , your bravery and skill truly left a mark on me last time .

He bowed respectfully and continued , Im here today not just to apologize but also to express my admiration .

Youve earned my deepest respect ! The crowd watched in stunned silence , unable to believe what they were witnessing the infamously proud Madblade Martial Academy was acting meek and even deferential .

Lauren chuckled and spoke softly to Andrew .

Dr.

Lloyd , let Mr.

Sanford and his people take their seats .
