Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel - Chapter 2993

---- Chapter 2993 In Throne City's City Hall, Prescott's broken body lay in the center. Several Ludendorff family elites were treating him, and among them was Alonzo, the family's second-in-command. Raiden sat in the head position with a blank face, saying nothing. Meanwhile, Cyril and Garal stood with their hands at their sides near the hall entrance, trembling. Half of Garal's body was still bleeding, his vision was already doubled, and he could pass out at any moment. Yet, Raiden said nothing and just sat there. So, Garal had no choice but to continue standing and awaiting orders.

He had no idea whether Raiden would order him to rest and receive treatment, or tell him to end his own life on the spot. After a long while, Alonzo and the others finished stabilizing Prescott. Alonzo turned to Raiden, his expression bitter as he said, "We managed to save his life, but... he's crippled." Raiden still did not say a word. The lavish hall was brightly lit, almost like daylight. ---- Yet at that moment, every member of the Ludendorff family felt as if they had fallen into an ice pit, as though they were standing in hell.

"Take him away," Raiden finally said, sounding as if he had sighed. After that, he looked at Garal and barked, "Garal, come forward!" Garal's heart trembled as he steeled himself and took a step forward. Then, he collapsed heavily to his knees. He had already been barely holding on, but Raiden's command snapped him back to alertness. His life or death would be decided right now. Raiden said calmly, "Speak. How exactly did we lose Abyss City? You had two martial gods defending the city. Inside, we had family garrison troops.

| simply can't imagine how things ended up like this." Garal's voice shook. "Your Excellency!" Before he could say more, a sharp explosion echoed through the hall. Raiden had crushed the crystal in his hand with his bare fingers. This crystal was Raiden's token, specifically used for transmitting orders. Yet, at this moment, everyone could see that Raiden was only calm on the surface. In reality, his rage was burning sky-high; his anger threatened to explode. ---- Alonzo said sternly, "Garal, you've betrayed the family's trust. You deserve death." Garal, kneeling on the floor, wept openly. "!

deserved death. Please grant me a swift one. This disaster is entirely my fault. If | hadn't let Dragonfang's people into the city, none of this would have happened." Raiden roared, "You do deserve to die. With Abyss City lost, Throne City has no protection! The Cathedral can march straight in and reach Throne City at any time." Garal trembled violently and no longer dared to speak, Alonzo said, "Keep going.
