Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 3209

Kelvin continued, "Patriarch Donovan, you may not know this, but Skylar was my eldest brother's seventh son, the future head of the Nieves family. Although our family has many sons, every one of them is precious.

"To have him trampled to death by someone from your family like this… As his uncle, I still have a shred of conscience, so I rushed to Chetvine overnight to seek a bit of justice for him."

He added, looking straight at Donovan, "Patriarch Donovan, to be honest, what I'm doing isn't excessive, is it?"

Donovan nodded, his expression calm. "It's not excessive. It's perfectly reasonable. Just like how your family hunted Andrew two years ago. That matter between us still seems unresolved, doesn't it?"

Kelvin shrugged nonchalantly. "Patriarch Donovan, what happened two years ago is in the past. Times have changed; I don't think there's any need to bring it up. Besides, Andrew returned safely, didn't he? I heard his strength has soared tremendously. Your family actually benefited from the misfortune. You could say you should even thank the Nieves family."

These words were extremely cutting and provocative. However, that was just Kelvin's nature: arrogant to the extreme.

First, he had the capital to support his arrogance. Second, behind him stood the massive Sylvan Peaks' Nieves family.

Finally, he was right at the main gate of the Lloyd family estate. Technically, a guest.

If the Lloyd family wanted to kill him openly, Kelvin would welcome it.

It would probably push the Lloyd family further into becoming a target for everyone.

He believed bold people got the spoils, and those unafraid of death, willing to gamble with their lives, were true heroes. Kelvin considered himself one such hero. He did not even hold much regard for the position of the Nieves family head in the Sylvan Peaks. He simply loved representing the Nieves family, being all arrogant and domineering with his life-risking exploits outside.

He would eat and sleep right there, watching how the Lloyd family would act.

Either until that little bastard Andrew came to him, or until Kelvin found the perfect opportunity to strike and crush Andrew in a single move.

At that point, he would be the most dazzling star in all of Holtrien. He would not care about any Lloyd family revenge. After all, life was all about the thrill.

This was the essence of Kelvin's martial path: madness.

Relying on this reckless, shameless madness, along with the massive influence of the Nieves family backing him, Kelvin had spent years indulging in the thrill of confronting major figures from all sides and emerging unscathed.
