Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

At Mosby's sharp reminder, Rafael's pudgy body jolted into motion, and he turned to flee without a second thought. He shouted, "Got it, Dr. Lake! You hold them off for now-I'll go call reinforcements!"

Mosby did not waste another second. His figure blurred as he lunged into the fray, making a beeline for Andrew.

He hissed, "Andrew, even if the treasure map's been exposed, I swear I'll kill you for stirring this whole mess!"

All his hatred for Andrew exploded at once in that moment. He was usually calm and collected, but he had completely lost his composure and was seeing red with

rage.

Only by killing this insufferable Andrew would he feel any relief, and only then would he stop choking on his fury.

Andrew kept retreating while desperately calling for help. "Kevin, save me!"noveldrama

Kevin was locked in heated combat with Grand Viper, but upon hearing the plea, he snorted coldly and issued a command. "Wrights security team, protect Andy with everything you've got! If anything happens to him, you'll face punishment!"

Immediately, dozens of gleaming blades turned toward Mosby.

The Wrights' elite security team consisted entirely of senior grandmaster-level fighters and above. With over 100 men, they instantly overwhelmed Mosby, encircling him like a flood in mere moments.

Though Mosby was a master of both medicine and combat, his martial skill had not reached the level of a true martial king. He simply could not take on that many at once.

In just a few clashes, he was slashed several times, leaving him covered in blood. His situation had become desperate in mere moments.

Mosby was terrified and roared continuously, no longer daring to pursue Andrew for the kill. Instead, he fought while retreating, developing thoughts of escape as his primary concern.

In his heart, he wanted nothing more than to skin Andrew alive and tear him apart piece by piece. He silently cursed, 'Damn it, today's a complete disaster!'

The treasure map had been exposed, his relationship with the Wrights shattered, and now he was wounded all over. Thinking about all these misfortunes made Mosby's roars even more desperate and anguished.

Andrew hid safely behind the Wrights' security team. He barked out orders like a battlefield commander.

"Don't let him get away! Box him in-tight!"

"Go for his vital points! Aim for his throat, his head and his junk!"

"Yes, yes! Right there-stab him in the heart!"

Hearing that, Mosby's anger only intensified. "Andrew! You and I are enemies for life! This doesn't end until one of us is dead!"

Andrew turned a deaf ear to the threats and continued using the Wrights' security team as cover while constantly giving orders to help them cut off Mosby's escape routes.

Elsewhere, Kevin and Grand Viper's battle had turned into pure destruction: The rockery around the villa, along with all the flowers, grass and trees, looked like they had been plowed over, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake.

Suddenly, a golden needle shot out from Andrew's hand in a sneak attack from behind.

Grand Viper was fighting with full intensity and completely failed to notice Andrew's attack from behind. The needle struck a major pressure point on his back, causing immediate pain as the energy circulating through his body suddenly became sluggish like a car hitting the brakes at high speed.

'I'm done for...' Grand Viper only had time for this single thought to flash through

his mind. The realization of his predicament hit him like a thunderbolt.

Kevin let out a guttural yell, leaped high, and delivered a brutal spinning kick to Grand Viper's face. With a sickening sound, Grand Viper spewed blood violently and flew backward.

"Andrew, you little bastard, I'll remember today's sneak attack! Once I recover, I'll definitely tear you into pieces. This is driving me to madness!"

Still roaring, Grand Viper turned tail and ran for his life. Even as he ran far into the distance, his anguished and rage-filled roars continued echoing through the air.

Kevin burst into triumphant laughter. "Andy, you truly are a gift from heaven to help me!"

Returning to the security team's position, he shouted sternly at Mosby. "Mosby, surrender immediately! If I have to get involved, I'll kill you myself!"

Mosby glanced around, realizing the fight was lost. He raised his hands

and stood still. "Fine. I won't resist t

But Mr. Wright Senior, you'd be. smart not to kill me. Truth is, there's no deep grudge between me and the Wrights-not really."
