Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 1789

There were only two days left until New Year's Day.

Andrew brought his three lovely ladies to Aroma Exchange.

Zachary did not dare slack off and had Ruth personally handle their full reception. Meanwhile, he personally escorted Andrew upstairs to a private room.

"Captain, you should have given me a heads up that you were coming!" Zachary seemed somewhat nervous.

Andrew smiled. "Have a seat. I just came to see how your preparations are going."

Zachary pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm not too confident. I became Jerome's student mainly to advance my martial arts skills further. However, Jerome is a grandmaster, and the requirements to advance from outer to inner disciple are extremely strict. With my current abilities, honestly, I'm not sure I can make it."

Andrew nodded, showing his understanding. Then, he pulled out a small bottle and handed it to Zachary.

He said, "There are two miracle pills in here, both seventh grade. They should significantly boost your strength. Take one now, and take the other on the day of your assessment. That should take care of any problems you might face."

Taking the small bottle, Zachary looked incredulous. "Seventh grade Divine Pills? Captain, where did you get these? They're too valuable! I can't accept them!" Though he looked at the bottle with admiration, he still tried to return it. Andrew waved him off with a chuckle. "I prepared these specifically for you. Keep them! As long as I have the raw materials, I can make these in no time."

Zachary hesitated for a beat, then finally gritted his teeth and accepted the gift. "Captain, thank you! You've always been the guiding light in my life. Whether or not I make it to an inner disciple, I'll never forget what you've done for me."
