Chapter 41
“What if I don’t want to drink?” Andrius glared at everyone present
coldly.
“Don’t want to drink?” Fatty Frank scoffed and then looked at the man beside him. “Pip, remind me, what happened to the last guy who didn’t do as he was told?”
Pip simply said, “That guy is now a carpet in my house. Furry on one side, naked on the other. My friends thought I got a lousy bear rug.”
Fatty Frank then asked another man, “Denson, how about the other guy? What happened to him now?”
“Well, I haven’t heard from him in the afterlife.” The man then replied with a question of his own, “Fatty Frank, how about that guy who didn’t listen to you?”
“Me?” Fatty Frank looked at Andrius and raised his voice, “I’m merciful. I put him into a bottle, soaked him with formalin, and offered his body to the university for research purposes.”
Threats! Brazen threats!
Andrius simply ignored them and wanted to leave the room when suddenly, the door flew open with a loud thud.
Startled, everyone looked at the entrance and saw two men walking in.
Displeased, Fatty Frank bellowed, “Who the hell are you two? Who gave you permission to come in?”
“Who am I?” Lothar scoffed. “Someone in this room bumped into me just now.”
Angel immediately recognized the man. She stepped out and
confessed to Fatty Frank, “I bumped into him just now, but I’ve

already apologized.
“Your apology is hardly enough!” Lothar then walked to Angel and pinched her chin. “But if you come to my room and drink with me, I’ll forget that it ever happened.”
“Get your dirty hands off me!” Angel was not a weak and timid woman either. She fiercely slapped Lothar’s hand away.
“Hey!”
As the leader of Team Five, Fatty Frank stood up for his subordinate.” Angel’s already apologized. If you keep causing trouble, don’t blame us for getting rough.”
“Yeah!”
“Get the hell out or prepare to be ruined!”
The other guys rolled their sleeves up and attempted to intimidate Lothar.
“Playing with numbers now, are we?”
Lothar glanced at the trust fund babies and then commanded his man, “Bring our brothers here.”
The man went out of the room.
Soon, a group of men stormed in while many others packed the corridor outside. The trust fund babies were frightened and awkwardly stepped back.
Even Fatty Frank was frightened. He went up to Lothar and said, “ Come on, man. It’s just a misunderstanding…”
The man beside Lothar kicked Fatty Frank away and roared, “Don’t even think about getting close to Lothar, you fatso!”
When the name Lothar echoed in the room, everyone was frightened, especially Fatty Frank. He cowered before Lothar in fear as though he
had committed, a crime and stammered, “A-are you Lothar Edge of the Racer Gang?”
Lothar smirked at Fatty Frank and thundered, “That’s right. I am the leader of the Racer Gang, Lothar Edge.”
The other trust fund babies paled immediately. As playful trust fund babies, the Racer Gang and its leader, Lothar, were notorious in Sumeria. The Racer Gang was another underground gang that rivaled the Dragon Gang.
Lothar might have looked young, but he was ruthless to the bone.
Two years ago, one of his enemies brought a dozen men to his doorstep to cause trouble, but he single-handedly retaliated with just
an axe.
With that, his name became well-known in the underworld, and he founded the notorious Racer Gang.
Lothar bellowed, “Who was asking for a fight just now? Step up if you have the nerve!”
The trust fund babies were horrified when they found out who Lothar was. No one dared to challenge or intimidate him anymore.
“What a bunch of losers!” Lothar sneered when no one dared to step
“Take the girl away!” he added.
With that, two of his men stepped up and tried to drag Angel away.
In a futile effort, Angel resisted. “Help!”
No matter how loud she shouted, none of her team dared to say a
word.
However, right before Angel was dragged out of the room, a voice suddenly boomed, “Stop it.”
Chapter 42
Everyone turned around and saw Fatty Frank standing up.
As though Angel saw a beacon of hope, she screamed, “Fatty Frank, save me!”
“What are you going to do about, Fatso?!” Lothar linked his fingers and cracked them. The loud pops from the joints of his fingers made Fatty Frank flinch.
“Lothar, let’s talk.” Fatty Frank bit the bullet and decided to negotiate with the man. He went up to him with a flattering expression and said, “We are all from New Moon Corporation. We can pay…”
“What if I don’t want your money? I just want her today,” Lothar said.
Fatty Frank’s expression turned bitter. “Lothar, please…”
Thud!
Lothar landed a kick on Fatty Frank’s stomach.
Fatty Frank’s 100-kilogram body was kicked away like a ragdoll, crashing onto the table. The seemingly sturdy table broke into pieces upon impact.
Fatty Frank struggled to get up while he coughed blood out of his mouth.
Lothar did not hold back with his kick at all. Had Fatty Frank been any thinner, bleeding would have been the tip of the iceberg.
He wiped the blood off his lips and coughed fiercely. “If you just let Angel go, you can beat me up however you want.”
Thud!
Lothar kicked Fatty Frank once more.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
No matter how many times Lothar kicked and punched him, Fatty Frank refused to stay down.
Lothar rubbed his burning knuckles and bellowed, “You piece of sh*t, you are quite durable given your size.”
With that, he grabbed the wooden chair from the side and was about to smash it on Fatty Frank’s head.
Suddenly, another voice in the room spoke, “Are you done?”
Lothar’s hand that was holding the chair froze in the air. He turned around to look around and followed the origin of the voice.
He then spotted a man in a black T-shirt sitting in the corner. Had he not paid attention, he would never have noticed the man in the corner.
It was Andrius.
Lothar squinted. Although he could not see Andrius’ face, he roared,” Bring him here!”
The man behind Lothar immediately went up to Andrius and made an attempt to grab his shoulder.
Before the man could touch him, Andrius’ swift hands reached out to seize the man’s wrist.
Crack!
With a strong grip, the man’s arm was twisted in a freaky way, and he started to scream in pain.
“Argghhh!”
The excruciating scream gave everyone else goosebumps.
How powerful was Andrius if he could break the man’s arm with a single twist?
Fatty Frank and the trust fund babies were startled.
The seemingly quiet and gentle guy had just broken Lothar’s man’s arm!
If he made a move on them, no one would be able to handle his strength.
Looking at his man’s injured arm, Lothar’s scornful expression was replaced by a serious scowl. He narrowed his eyes in the direction to see who the person was, but the dim environment prevented him from seeing clearly.
He walked closer to Andrius and said, “Turn on the lights! I want to have a good look at this b*stard’s face!”
Click!
All the lights were turned on, and everything in the room was suddenly crystal clear. Andrius was sitting on the chair, and Lothar finally got a clear look at his face.
Lothar’s men were enraged. “You piece of sh*t! How dare you sit when Lothar is in the room? Get him!”
Right before Lothar’s men could touch Andrius though, a strong thud was heard from behind.
The men immediately turned around.
Chapter 43
The notorious Racer Gang leader was on his knees! He was actually kneeling before Andrius!
The whole room was so silent that everyone’s pounding heartbeats could be heard. No one understood what just happened.
Amidst their astonished gazes, Andrius stated, “I remember you. You were beside Jamire that night…”
When he heard Andrius, Lothar forced a bitter smile on his face.
He had been there when Jamire summoned his men at the Northern Point construction site to confront Andrius. He had witnessed the Lycantroops marching on them and the hundred tractors leveling the entire construction site to the ground.
From that night onwards, Lothar had branded Andrius’ face in his mind so that he would never cross paths with the devil again.
Now, the devil just declared that he remembered him.
What else was more terrifying than that?
Lothar gulped nervously. He roared, “On your knees!”
He held the most power in the Racer Gang, so obviously, no one in the gang dared to disobey him. His men immediately knelt down.
Thud!
It was quite a magnificent scene seeing more than a dozen men kneel down at once.
Fatty Frank and his team were astonished. They wondered who Andrius really was. How could he bring the leader of the Racer Gang
to his knees?
Among them, Angel’s reaction was the strongest.
Andrius swooping in at that critical moment was an act of rescuing a damsel in distress.
Her eyes shone as she looked at Andrius differently. The disdain she had for him was completely gone and was replaced by admiration.
Andrius looked at Lothar kneeling before him. He said indifferently,” What should I do with you?”
“Please spare me, sir…” Lothar was sweating profusely. He shuddered strongly, and even his teeth were chattering.
“Please spare us, sir. We will do anything you tell us to…”
“Then, every one of you, break one of your fingers.” Andrius glanced at Fatty Frank and his team and said, “Today is my first day in Team Five. Let’s not make things bloody. It’s inauspicious.”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
With that, Lothar breathed a sigh of relief.
Breaking a finger was better than losing his life.
Then, Lothar pulled his dagger out and cut off one of his fingers without hesitation; his men followed.
For a moment there, the room reeked of blood. Fatty Frank and his team were trust fund babies, but they had never seen anything gory or bloody, hence they were all rendered speechless.
The painful screams from the men were like a requiem from hell, sending chills down their spines.
“You may leave now.”
With Andrius’ permission, Lothar brought his men away immediately.
Until the last of therm had left, Andrius then got up and looked at Fatty
Frank.
“So, Frank, are we going to continue where we left off? The welcome ceremony by Team Five?”
“N-no, no more…”
Fatty Frank and his team were utterly speechless.
Andrius simply left the room.
When he returned to Dream’s Waterfront, Andrius saw Luna reading a fashion magazine in the living room with her long legs crossed.
Luna put the magazine down and asked, “How’s your first day with Team Five?”
A sudden epiphany rushed into Andrius’ mind when he heard her.
Fatty Frank had given him a hard time because of Luna’s order to do so. It seemed like she was a woman who liked to hold grudges.
He had only been late a few times. Was it necessary to go that far?
However, he feigned a painful expression and said, “O-okay, I guess. Frank and his team are very welcoming.”
“Is that so?” Luna asked as she looked into Andrius’ eyes.
Chapter 44
Andrius nodded and feigned indifference.
He just wanted to repay his master’s debt as soon as possible so that he could return to the Western Frontline. Women were indeed more difficult to deal with than the enemies of the country. He would rather throw himself on the battlefield to kill enemies than handle Luna’s unreasonable requests.
Seeing Andrius’ quiet and timid reaction, Luna was satisfied with the outcome.
“Andrius, don’t go anywhere tomorrow night. I want you to accompany me to dinner.”
“What dinner?” Andrius asked.
Luna glanced at him and said honestly, “Tomorrow is the Sumerian Business Guild’s annual dinner. Deputy Minister Alfred Hempton from East River State’s Ministry of Finance will be attending.”
Andrius hummed a reply. Since he had a couple of drinks, he reeked of alcohol. He had a comfortable bath before he returned to his room
and called Noir.
“Noir, check out Alfred Hempton for me.”
“Andy, Alfred Hempton is just a small fry, why do you want to know about him?”
“Luna is attending some guild’s annual dinner tomorrow night, and I believe she’s going because of him. Just send his information to my
mailbox,” Andrius said.
“Alright.”
Noir hung up the phone.
Soon, Andrius received an email on his phone. He tapped on it and checked the attachment.
Alfred Hempton, 69 years old, was the deputy minister of East River State’s Ministry of Finance. What followed were intricate details about Alfred plus some pictures of him.
Only then did Andrius realize that the man he saved earlier was Alfred Hempton, the same man that Luna wanted to meet.
It was expected that he did not know Alfred due to his position. After all, he was the superior Wolf King while Alfred was just an.
insignificant deputy minister.
Andrius closed his email and continued dealing with the military affairs on the Western Frontline.
After a quiet night, Andrius went to the office the next morning.
When he arrived at Team Five’s office, he saw Fatty Frank and the others lined up neatly in front of him as if they were some soldiers welcoming their superior.
Andrius glanced at Fatty Frank. “What are you guys up to again?”
“Andrius, forgive our impoliteness yesterday. From today onwards, you will be our leader, the supreme boss of Team Five!” Fatty Frank. announced loudly.
“I am not interested in being the boss.”
Andrius walked past Fatty Frank and sat down at his desk.
“Andrius…”
Fatty Frank immediately signaled the other trust fund babies. They surrounded Andrius with tea and flattery; some gave him a massage, and some fanned him.
“Andrius, we really want you to be our boss. Please take us in and
lead us!” Fatty Frank said sincerely.
Andrius had a rather decent impression of Fatty Frank.
When Angel was being dragged out of the room yesterday, only Fatty Frank had stood up for her. That alone proved he had some good in his character, but he was just overly playful.
Andrius looked at Fatty Frank and said, “What if Luna finds out about that? Isn’t she going to be mad if you become my subordinate? Aren’t you afraid?”
“I’m not afraid!” Fatty Frank tapped his chest confidently and added, We will only listen to you from now on. Luna won’t be able to order us around anymore.”
“Fine. As long as you are happy,” Andrius said with a shrug.
If Luna knew that Fatty Frank had betrayed her, she would probably react bitterly.
The very thought made Andrius scoff.
Later that afternoon, Andrius had lunch at the office cafeteria.
Fatty Frank and the others took good care of him by getting his meal and water and even found him the best seat.
The other employees in the cafeteria were stunned. Everyone knew that Team Five was the trust fund babies’ playground, and they were always arrogant and rude to others.
Chapter 45
After lunch, Andrius played games on the office computer to kill time.
Soon, the day was over and it was time to clock out.
Fatty Frank attentively said, “Andrius, why don’t I give you a ride home?”
“No thanks.”
Andrius clocked out and headed to the parking lot.
Luna drove her Mercedes today, and Athena was in the passenger seat.
When Andrius got into the car, Luna started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the White Swan Hotel, where the Sumerian Business Guild annual dinner was held.
Luna’s father, Harry, was already waiting at the entrance.
“Athena, wait for us out here,” Luna said before she brought Andrius. in with Harry.
The White Swan Hotel banquet hall was the grandest in all of Sumeria. It was divided into three segments: the inner hall, the center hall, and the outer hall. There were three tables in the inner hall, six tables in the center hall, and nine tables in the outer hall.
The tables were already filled with guests.
Solomon of Castlerock Corporation was mingling with the guests in front of the banquet hall.
When he spotted Harry and company, Solomon went up to them and said, “Mr. Crestfall, you guys made it!”
Harry did not have a good impression of the old fox, but since the
man was the organizer of this year’s annual dinner, he was forced to put on a fake smile. “Mr. Stormbrew. It’s good to be here. I wonder where’s our table.”
“Oh, my God!” Solomon tapped his forehead and said in an apologetic tone, “I am so sorry. Since the Crestfalls never attended the previous annual dinner, I forgot to reserve your seats this year! I am truly sorry, Mr. Crestfall!”
Anyone with a sane mind would know that Solomon was purposely giving the Crestfalls a hard time.
Harry was displeased. “Since you did not reserve a table for us, then we will leave.”
“Hey, come on. Harry, don’t be mad.” Solomon immediately stopped Harry and said with a cunning smile, “I’ll just add another table for you.”
Solomon then told the hotel staff to prepare another table for the Crestfalls.
The table was shorter than the ones in the outer hall and was placed next to the banquet hall entrance. People might have assumed that the table was for the security guards.
Solomon continued to give the Crestfalls a hard time.
“You…”
Harry was infuriated. He pointed at Solomon angrily, but no words. came out of his mouth. He wanted to leave.
“Harry, Master Hempton will be attending the dinner tonight, and we organized the annual dinner here because it also serves as a welcome dinner for him. If you leave, you will be disrespecting Master Hempton, and the Crestfalls might lose the only chance to join the
guild.”
Solomon stripped his disguise when Harry threatened to leave and used Alfred’s name to threaten him.
Harry and Luna were infuriated. Their faces flushed as they glared at Solomon with hostility, but they were also helpless.
In the end, the father and daughter decided to compromise and sat down at the table.
Andrius glanced at Solomon and said, “So, you are Solomon Stormbrew?”
“I am.” Solomon sized Andrius up and asked, “Are you the son-in-law of the Crestfalls, Andrius Moonshade?”
“Iam.”
“Well, what I can do for you?”
“There’s nothing you can do for me, but I want to tell you something.” Andrius said, “Once I sit at the table, it won’t be easy for you to invite me in.”
Chapter 46
Solomon burst out in laughter when he heard Andrius. “The Crestfalls don’t even qualify joining the guild or deserve to be here, yet you, the son-in-law, dare to speak out so boldly?”
“Very well. I hope you can remember how your attitude and your tone are tonight, Mr. Stormbrew.” Andrius then joined Harry and Luna at the table.
