Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Joe's fierce, unrelenting barrage suddenly hit a wall, and his blows landed like fists striking water, dissipating without power. It was as if he had been hammering the surface of a still lake, all force absorbed and neutralized.

"Impressive... using softness to counter brute force. But Andrew, you're still nowhere near good enough to impress me!" Joe shouted, eyes sharp with disdain.

With a fierce roar, he opened both arms wide and slammed them down with explosive force.

Andrew dodged just in time, but the steel post on the side of the ring shattered under Joe's blow, crumpling like it had been hit by a wrecking ball.

Gary was the first to cheer. "Hell yeah, Mr. Driscoll! That was insane!"

Liliana clenched her fists tightly as she stared at her prince in shining armor, eyes glued to him without blinking.

Then, she glanced sideways at Andrew and sneered coldly.

"Just wait. Joe will drag you through the dirt until you're humiliated beyond saving.

I warned you, but you refused to listen. Now face the judgment of the Driscoll family's pride and fury."

Andrew stepped left twice, and each step sank the reinforced ring two full centimeters into the ground beneath him.
