Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Mason was stunned, caught off guard by the unexpected gesture. Andrew had just bowed to him with a very sincere attitude, which Mason thought was absolutely impossible.

After all, Andrew was definitely no pushover. On the contrary, he was a tough guy who would not take any losses.

"You're too kind. As long as you don't hold the Ulrich family responsible, we'll count our blessings."

Even as he spoke, his words dripped with passive aggression.

He sneered inwardly. 'Andrew, you may have great power, but your foundation is unstable. Today, I've got you cornered!'

Andrew smiled and patted Mason's shoulder with a meaningful look. "Mr. Ulrich, we're about the same age. Let's go by first name! I remember when you first took your position; we had quite a pleasant conversation."

He added, "Although I don't know what caused you to develop unpleasant thoughts about me, I believe that since we're all part of the Chamber of Commerce, any misunderstandings can be cleared up."

Mason's face twisted into a mask of fear, his shoulders trembling as he lowered his voice. "Mr. Lloyd, please don't say such things. I'm just a nobody. I could never dare call you by your first name."

He continued, "I have only one humble request: please, stop holding the Ulrich family accountable. My father's gone now, and you've rightfully become the number one in the chamber. Let it go. Spare us, please. We won't go against you ever again."

Ezra, the third-ranked fighter on the Underworld Index, growled from the side. "You all saw that, didn't you? Andrew's persecution of the Ulrich family is just disgusting." Look at Mr. Ulrich! He's trembling like a rat in front of a cat! And this is happening in broad daylight. If no one speaks up, I'll be the first to say it—this has gone too far!"
