Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 614 Banes voice became cold and sharp.

Time may have passed, but my hatred for Cedric hasnt diminished one bit.

If anything, I crave even more to see him suffer so much that death would feel like mercy.

When I came to Jayrodale, I made a vow to strip away everything he has, piece by piece, just like peeling off his skin layer by layer

I want him to regret ever crossing me.

Simons eyes burned with shared hatred.

Then lets join forces, Mr.

Eslinger.

Together, well crush the Aickers.

Cedric didnt give me what I wanted, and Francesca wouldnt accept me

Fine III make sure their entire family is destroyed! Bane nodded approvingly.

Youve got potential

Youre not quite on my level, but youll do .

Im at a point in Jayrodale where I need capable people, and your timing couldnt be better. Simon clenched his teeth.

Then lets stop wasting time! Once I recover, well storm The Aickers and take them down. Idiot! Bane barked.

Do you really think they wont be on high alert after your little stunt? You wont get anywhere near them

now

He crossed his arms and added, Besides, Ive got to deal with some issues involving Rhodes Corporation first.

I cant focus on The Aickers right now.

Simon scowled in frustration.

Fine, but I swear III have my revenge

And that Andrew ... Hes even more deserving of death.

If I cant beat him in combat, III poison him to death through his own damn profession.

Bane raised an eyebrow.

Dont underestimate him.

Andrews medical expertise is impressive

Even I havent figured out his full capabilities.

Youd better not rush into anything foolish.

Simon sneered.

Medical expertise? Maybe.

But theres no way he can compare to you, Mr.

Eslinger

Youre a master from the Advanced Medical Institute Andrews nothing compared to you! Bane stroked his beard, clearly pleased with the flattery.

Hmm, well said

You can stay here for now and follow my lead

Once we bring down the Aickers and seize everything Cedric has, Francesca will be yours.

Simons face lit up.

Thank you, Mr.

Eslinger ! Please, accept me as your apprentice! Bane shook his head.

No.

Youre Cedrics apprentice, not mine.

Simon protested, But Ive already defected from The Aickers ! Im following you now, and I want to

officially become your apprentice

Ill serve you loyally! Bane chuckled darkly, giving Simon a knowing look.

Youre missing the point

I dont want to end up like Cedric .

If you betrayed him, whats to stop you from betraying me? Simon froze, then let out an awkward laugh.

Youve got it all wrong, Mr.

Eslinger.

Cedrics a worthless old bastard who didnt deserve my loyalty.

But you? Youre a hundred times more powerful than him.

Id never dare betray you! Banes voice turned cold.

Lets be honest with each other were both traitors.

We know exactly what kind of people we are.

Dont insult my intelligence by pretending otherwise.

Simon sighed in defeat.

Fine

But can you teach me your poison arts ? I need to get stronger if Im going to deal with Andrew.

Banes expression was unreadable.

Well see about that

Simons frustration boiled over.

Come on, Mr.

Eslinger ! Without stronger poison techniques, I cant take him 1/2 Chapter 614 down. Youve got to help me get stronger- He suddenly stopped mid sentence, screaming in agony as he doubled over

He clutched his crotch and collapsed to the floor, writhing in pain.

Banes eyes widened in shock.

What the hells wrong with you? He crouched beside Simon and pried his hands away from the area. Bane gasped at the sight and exclaimed, Simon... Your junks about to explode!
