Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You

Chapter 1829

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!"

Alex let out a mocking laugh. "Getting ambushed and injured? That's your

problem, not mine. Your idiot friend just blocked my payday and ruined my plans! Zachary, you're just a nobody, an outer disciple. I'm telling you now: you're in trouble. And not just any trouble, big trouble!"

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."

Who knew someone like that could be so disgusting and low? Now that he's set his sights on me, I doubt I'll survive the next round."
