Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Leslie rushed over with a few soldiers and helped Xavier sit up.

"Colonel Haywood, how are you feeling?"

Xavier looked completely crushed. He groaned, "My arms and legs... they're ruined! I want revenge! I'll make him pay!"

Leslie quickly cut in, "Forget about revenge. The General is not around, so I'll get you back to the Haywoods to see what can be done."

Andrew said flatly, "Relax. I only crushed his arms and snapped his legs. His meridians and energy core are still intact. He won't be useless in martial arts, but he's definitely going to be stuck in bed for a year or two."

Leslie shouted, "How's that any better? That doesn't earn you any gratitude from us!"

Andrew said impatiently, "Nobody needs your gratitude. Go get Ryder from the Ulrich family. I have business with him!"

With Xavier down, Leslie had no choice but to take charge herself. "You can leave now. Our base doesn't welcome you, and we're not agreeing to any of your demands!"

Andrew frowned. "So, Lieutenant Terrell, everything you said before was just hot air? You provoked us first, and when you get beaten, you turn into cowards and won't face the consequences?"

Leslie's chest heaved as she exploded with rage. "Then what do you want?"

Andrew said coldly, "I already told you to go get Ryder! I have business with him, and if he doesn't come out, I'll destroy the entire Ulrich family. That's my exact message. Make sure he hears it."

Leslie was infuriated. She pointed at Andrew, trembling with rage. "Y-Y-You..."

Andrew sneered. "Inside this base, you may be in charge, Lieutenant Terrell. But outside? You've got no say over me. If Ryder won't come out, then his whole family's done for. Logan, we're leaving!"
