Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Alex hissed, "And you too. Zachary Fischer, right? This is only the first round of the examination, and the road ahead won't be smooth!"

The threat in his words was loud and clear.

With that, he scoffed, clasped his hands behind his back, and strutted away.

Zachary's face was grim. "I can't believe a snake like that is hiding right under Mr. Thornton's nose."

Andrew stayed calm. "Relax. You passed the first round. Now all you need to do is clear the final trial, and you're practically in."
