Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 1823

The one who suddenly interrupted was a tall, imposing man in black with a cold, stern face.

Zachary's expression grew serious. "Captain, this man is called Henry, and he's also from the Fischer family. He's the top dog from the Fischer family stationed at this headquarters."

Andrew made a sound of acknowledgement and said coolly, "His physical techniques should be very solid."

Zachary smiled bitterly. "Henry is the most domineering and fierce person in the Fischer family. What's even more terrifying is that he has reached the pinnacle of martial arts. There are rumors that he once challenged Jerome, wanting to replace him.

"But later, by the narrowest of margins, he lost to Jerome. However, that was five years ago. Now, Henry has probably improved significantly and likely has the strength to shake Jerome's position as the leader."

At that moment, Jerome, seated at the front, asked calmly, "Henry, what is it you need?"

Henry stood there, arms crossed, face still indifferent. "Nothing much. I wouldn't dare make a fuss. I just wanted to ask if you're in good condition."

Jerome's tone was flat. "I'm in perfect health. No need to worry about me."

The older man standing beside him, Alex Wallace, snapped with a sharp tone, "What's that supposed to mean, Henry? Are you hoping that Mr. Thornton kicks the bucket sooner rather than later?"

Henry remained composed. "I didn't say that. I wouldn't dare. But if he's fine, then that's all that matters."

Alex's face turned red with fury. "You little punk! Anyone listening would think you're plotting treason! Mr. Thornton's been holding the entire Southern Martial Union across Holtrien steady for years. I know there are some who secretly aren't satisfied. That's fine. If you've got a problem, just step forward and say it!"
