Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 709 Today marked the final day of the Reckoning Toast .

Raymond had never expected Andrew to show him such blatant disregard , showing up this late and making such an entrance .

In the center of the hotels grand hall , Winston sat slouched in his chair , looking thoroughly bored .

Every now and then , locals from Jayrodale came over to toast him , but he either ignored them or responded with dismissive nods .

It was clear he didnt take anyone here seriously .

Standing stiffly behind Winston was an older man with a lean frame and a stone cold expression .

He was known as Jason Lowell , one of the Wright familys top enforcers sent as Winstons personal bodyguard .

Raymond approached with a polite smile .

Mr.

Lowell , youve been standing there all night .

Please , sit down and rest for a bit .

Jason responded flatly , Mr.

Chapman , just handle your business .

Ill handle mine .

Raymond bowed slightly , eager to please .

Of course , Mr.

Lowell .

Youre absolutely right .

I just worry that Andrew might show up with Jayrodales underground forces .

If that happens , I might need to rely on you .

Jason let out a cold snort .
