Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Andrew shrugged. "Quick turnover's a good thing. Think of it like rotating the crown-everyone gets a turn. If the father refuses to cooperate, I have no choice but to put his son on the throne."

Logan glanced over. "Didn't Mason have three sons? Which one are you planning to back?"

Andrew smirked. "Whichever one listens best. Simple as that."

Before long, the car pulled up and everyone stepped out.

They were standing in front of an elementary school.

Logan frowned. "Dylan, why did you bring us here?"

Dylan rushed inside, "You guys wanted to find Mason's son, right? He's here. Wait a second, I'll go get him!"

Soon, a chubby little kid with a superhero backpack and a snot bubble hanging from his nose came walking out with Dylan. Though small, he walked with incredible swagger, waddling like a duck.

Rachel's expression turned stiff. "You've got to be kidding me. This little brat? You're planning to make him head of the Ulrich family?"

Andrew also looked questioningly at Dylan. "This kid is Mason's youngest son, Reece Ulrich. He may be young, but he's definitely talented. I think he's got potential!"

Dylan seemed to have quite a good impression of Reece.

Reece put his hands on his hips and looked at Andrew aggressively. "So you're the one looking for me?"

Andrew suppressed his laughter. "Yes, that's me."

Reece stretched out his hand demandingly. "First, give me a few hundred

thousand in allowance money, and then we can talk terms!"

Logan sneered. "A few hundred thousand right off the bat? You little punk, you've got quite an appetite!"

Reece scoffed. "A few hundred thousand is pocket change! I'm from the Ulrich family. Do you know how powerful our family is in Blumedale?"

Logan was annoyed and wanted to teach Reece a lesson, but Andrew raised his hand to stop him. "He's just a kid. Why are you taking it seriously?"

He crouched down and asked, "Your dad is Mason Ulrich, right?"

Reece put his hands on his hips proudly, "That's right, my dad is the head of the Ulrich family, and I'm his youngest son. They call me the Handsome Prince!"

Andrew nodded with a smile. "Indeed, you're quite handsome. Even that snot bubble hanging from your mouth is perfectly shaped!"

Reece became even more pleased and urged, "You've got good taste, recognizing my charm already. Hurry up and give me some money to spend, then we can chat. Otherwise, I'm leaving. The prettiest girl in my class is waiting for me to go on a date!"

Andrew shook his head. "No rush. Do you want to become the head of the Ulrich family?"

Reece pursed his lips, "Of course I do! I could have tons of girlfriends, unlimited allowance money, and buy endless bags of chips and snacks. I could be like my brothers and make weird noises in bed with naked ladies! But what's the point of you asking? The Ulrich family head is my dad, and I'm too young. It's impossible!"

Andrew smiled. "What if I could make your impossible dream come true?"

Reece's eyes lit up. "Really? If you can make me the Ulrich family's head, I'll call you my godfather right now! Oh, and I've got several Eastonian adult films on my phone that I can share with you for free. Pretty generous, right?"

Rachel snorted. "The Ulrich family's bloodline is wild. This one's in third grade and already binge-watching Eastonian adult films."noveldrama

Logan shrugged. "What's the big deal? I'd seen countless movies by first grade!" Andrew glanced at him. "So you think you're cool?"

Logan laughed awkwardly. "I was just bragging. Continue, Andy!"

Andrew smiled at Reece and asked, "One last question. If you became the head of the Ulrich family, what about your dad? Aren't you afraid he'd be heartbroken?"

Reece did not seem to care. "His heartbreak is his problem. What's that got to do with me? Right after he became family head, he sent my grandpa to a nursing home. At worst, I'll just send him to a nursing home too. That way, his secretary with the black stockings will be mine..."

He giggled stupidly, practically drooling.

Rachel could not take it anymore and said, "Mr. Lloyd, let's go find Mason's next son. This kid's thinking is way too grown and perverted for his age!"

Andrew patted Reece's head. "Alright, we'll talk again later. If the stars align, I might just make you the head of the Ulrich family."

Reece immediately shouted, "Hey! Don't go! I swear, I can do it! Make me the head of the family, and I'll even let you have your way with my dad's secretary!"

Andrew and the others quickly escaped. There was definitely something wrong with this kid.
