Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Gritting her teeth, Shiloh said, "I've been picking up part-time jobs lately, but I keep running into shady employers. Either they shortchange me, come up with random fines, or just outright refuse to pay me!

"I thought about it, and working for you is way easier. Give ne ten grand, and I'll take care of your enemy."

She finished speaking and stared at Andrew with eyes gleaming like she was looking at a pile of gold. However, Andrew did not respond. His brows just furrowed deeply.

Shiloh immediately panicked, wondering if she had asked for too much. So, she quickly adjusted. "How about eight grand? You only need to pay me eight grand, and I'll handle this for you!"

Still, Andrew remained silent. Dylan and Natasha, on the other hand, were on the verge of losing it.

Damn. A martial king-someone powerful enough to wipe out Jayrodale's entire underground scene and shake up the martial arts world-was offering her services for just eight grand?

They had seen crazy things in their lives, but nothing this ridiculous.

Watching Shiloh carefully gauge Andrew's reaction, Dylan and Natasha were dumbfounded.

Why was someone powerful enough to beat a semi-martial king acting so cautious over a measly eight grand? It did not make sense, no matter how they thought about it.

Just then, Andrew finally smirked and said, "How about this, Shiloh? I'll pay you 15 grand. As for Phantom Eye, don't kill him. Just take him down and bring him to me."

Shiloh did not hesitate for a second and quickly nodded. "Deal! 15 grand-it's set. Transfer it now!"

Before Andrew could change his mind or try to delay payment, Shiloh immediately pulled out her phone and opened her payment app.

Andrew transferred the money right away.

A notification chime sounded, and a voice announced, "You have received 15 thousand dollars via Venmo!"

Now even Andrew was a little taken aback and asked, "Shiloh, you have a voice alert for incoming payments now?"

Still focused on checking her balance, Shiloh replied without looking up, "Yeah, when I was

payments. I figured it was a smart idea-no way to get tricked or shortchanged. Every single deposit gets announced loud and clear. Super convenient! So I got one for myself."

Andrew chuckled. "Alright then, since you got your money, get going. Remember, don't kill Phantom Eye. He's got some skills, and I might have use for him later.”

Shiloh waved it off like it was nothing. "Relax. Once I take a job, I always follow through."noveldrama

Andrew turned to Dylan and Natasha. "You two go with Shilph to the airport. Just grab Phantom Eye and bring him straight here."

Natasha nodded firmly. "Got it. Don't worry, Dylan and I will do everything we can to back Shiloh up."

Andrew shook his head. "No need for backup. I'm sending you two along to make sure Shiloh doesn't go overboard.

Without wasting another second, Natasha and Dylan took Shiloh and rushed straight to Jayrodale Airport.

The fastest way from Blumedale to Jayrodale was by plane. Knowing Kenny's impatience and the fact that Phantom Eye loved making a flashy entrance, Andrew knew there was no doubt they would take the fastest flight available.

Hence, instead of waiting, Andrew decided to send his people to intercept them directly.
