Chapter 61
At the next moment, he was horrified as if he had seen a ghost.
Andrius knocked out one man in a single punch, rendering the man defenseless.
The other men jumped forward to surround Andrius.
Andrius delivered a roundhouse kick that sent everyone flying
backward with foam and blood spewing from their mouths.
That single kick knocked out almost half of all their teeth from their mouths.
The rest were horrified by Andrius’ explosive movements.
Andrius tended to stay a low profile, but whenever he decided to act, it would be shocking. He jumped forward, knocking out the men with a punch each.
In less than two minutes, every single one of the buff men was knocked out.
“Freaking…awesome!” Fatty Frank was stunned. He prolonged his
tone as his eyes shone with excitement. “Boss, you are the freaking
God of War!”
Connor was stunned.
Andrius was fierce and swift, and he knocked out a dozen buff men in
less than two minutes.
However, he did not compromise just yet. Thirty million was a lot of money, and a lot of people would definitely take the risk. Connor was a slave of money and he would do anything to get it.
He looked ferocious as he pulled a gun from the drawer. He unlocked the safety and aimed it at Andrius.
2/3
“So what if you can fight? I have a gun!” Connor glared at Andrius and wore a ferocious grin. He pulled the trigger and shouted, “Kneel!”
Bang!
A burst of smoke came out from the barrel.
Fatty Frank was horrified by the gunshot, and it sent him scuttling onto the floor on his backside.
He then thought of Andrius. He looked up and saw an astonishing
scene.
Andrius’ head tilted, and he was unscathed.
“Huh? Quite the luck you have there.” Connor remained ferocious.” But how many times more can you dodge?”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He pulled the trigger multiple times after that.
Andrius’ eyes narrowed coldly.
He dodged the bullets and appeared beside Connor in a flash. He snatched the gun away, and with a series of adept hand movements, the gun was disassembled into multiple pieces.
“That’s not how you play with a gun,” Andrius said.
Connor was horrified.
How did Andrius dodge all the bullets? Was he a monster?
”
Damn it! How did Fatty Frank get someone this powerful to help him?
Connor looked anxious. He wanted to run.
As long as he refused to sign the contract, they would not be able to do anything to him when it came to the land that his factory occupied.
However, he was inside the office with Andrius and Fatty Frank
standing at the entrance. There was nowhere he could run. A quick thought later, he noticed the window behind him and decided to flee from there.
Unfortunately, Andrius grabbed him by the back of his collar and slammed him on the ground. He stepped on the man’s hand and asked, “Are you moving out or not?”
With how things had developed, Connor dared not refuse anymore.” Yes! I’ll move immediately! We’ll sign the contract right away!”
“How much is it?”
“Three million! Three million!” Connor said anxiously.
Andrius smiled brightly at Connor. “Who told you it’s three million?”
Chapter 62
“T-then how much is it?”
A hint of anger flashed in Conner’s eyes, but he dared not express it.
Andrius bellowed, “According to the market price, your place is worth, at most, a million.”
A million only?
Connor was infuriated. He really wanted to toughen up and fight back, but he was losing in terms of power.
With Andrius stepping on his hand, he could not fight back even if he wanted to. He was forced to accept the terms. “F-fine.”
Andrius released Connor and watched the man print a brand new relocation contract. After he checked the amount and made sure it was a million, both Fatty Frank and Connor signed it.
Fatty Frank had yet to recover from the blank state of his mind. He remained stunned from the moment Andrius dodged the bullet. Until Connor reluctantly pushed the contract and the pen to him, then he recovered his composure.
He happily signed his name on the contract.
Then, Fatty Frank and Andrius left the office.
Fatty Frank said excitedly, “Boss, you are the best! You just need to show this kind of person the power of your fist!”
Andrius was not overly bothered. “People like him are afraid of power. Beat him up and he’ll be like a good puppy.”
The two of them got into the car and left.
Back at Connor’s office, he watched the car drive away from his sight
27/3
from the window. His expression remained gloomy. “That b*stard. How dare he meddle with my profit?! Don’t let me get the chance, or I will cut you up alive, mince you, and feed you to the dogs.”
He grumbled before he called Solomon. “Mr. Stormbrew, I’ve lost the occupancy of the land.”
Solomon’s displeased voice came from the other side of the phone.” What do you mean by that, Connor?”
Connor explained in an upset tone, “New Moon Corporation just sent two men over. One of them was Fatty Frank, and the other one was a fierce guy. He beat up all my men and forced me to sign the contract.”
Solomon went silent for a moment before a peal of bright and
cheerful laughter came from the phone.
Connor was still aggrieved when he heard the laughter from the
phone. It fueled his displeasure. “Mr. Stormbrew, what are you laughing at?”
Solomon said, “I am laughing because the New Moon Corporation is digging its own grave!”
Connor was confused. “What do you mean?”
“If you were forced to sign the contract, we will use the media to make news out of this, and we can tell the public New Moon
Corporation resolved in violence to force you to relocate. They sent people over to beat you up…”
Before he could finish, Connor cried in excitement, “Mr. Stormbrew,
you are a genius!”
Solomon grunted. “I already have a plan. Just play along tomorrow and you will get ten million after this is done.”
Connor tapped his chest confidently and said, “Mr. Stormbrew, don’t you worry. I will do my best to support you.”
After hanging up the phone, Connor called his friend. “Hello? Let’s grab a beer at our usual place.”
Half
an hour later, Connor finally met up with his friend, Jamire Ringstone!
They sat down and had a couple of glasses before they started to blabber about nonsense.
Then, Connor mentioned what happened earlier today.
“Jamire, I bet you’ve seen a lot of powerful men after staying in Sumeria for so long.”
He was thinking about Andrius. Although he looked bitter and hated Andrius, he had to admit that the man had looked cool when he dodged the bullets.
“Why are you talking about this?” Jamire was slightly surprised before he chuckled and said, “I’ve been traveling the world for many years, and I’ve met more powerful men than the women you’ve slept with…”
“Then, have you seen anyone who could dodge bullets?” Connor asked, leaving Jamire stunned.
“Dodge bullets?” Jamire went silent. He had seen men who played with fire and swallowed swords, but dodging bullets was something
out of a movie. Even he had never seen someone do it before.
However, he somehow thought of Andrius and believed a man like Andrius must know someone who could dodge bullets. “You’ve never seen it before, right?”
Chapter 63
Connor knew the answer from the look on Jamire’s face. He grinned.”
Jamire, I saw it today.”
“What?!”
“It’s freaking cool!”
Then, he told Jamire what had happened earlier and did not exaggerate what had happened because it was already over-the-top.
“Wait…” Jamire captured the point in Connor’s story. “Someone from New Moon Corporation?”
After what happened at the Northern Point construction site, he was somewhat sensitive to the name.
That terrifying man was from the New Moon Corporation.
Could Connor be referring to the same person?
Jamire’s expression shifted. He lost interest in the meat and the beer on the table and looked at Connor with an astonished look.
“What does he look like?”
Connor described Andrius to Jamire.
Jamire shuddered. His expression changed as he said, “Connor, take my advice. Stay away from that man. Do you know about the hundred bulldozers leveling the Northern Point construction site? I was there trying to give the person a lesson and guess what happened?”
Before Connor could answer, he continued, “He is the man that you mentioned, and he summoned an army of the Lycantroops! Guns were pointed at my head, and all he needs is a hum to shoot me into
a sieve.”
Jamire’s forehead was already glistening with sweat. He was horrified just speaking of the person.
“Is he really that powerful?”
Connor knew how powerful Jamire was in the underworld.
If even he was defeated and threatened, then going against Luina and New Moon Corporation would be suicidal.
With that, his mind went blank. He quickly left the table and ran towards New Moon Corporation.
Back at New Moon Corporation, Luna was thrilled when Fatty Frank came back with the signed relocation contract, especially when the compensation amount was lowered to just a million.
However, when she asked how Fatty Frank made Connor sign the contract, Fatty Frank simply said he beat the man up.
Luna got to Andrius and shrieked at him, “Did you two just go to Connor’s office and beat him up?”
Andrius nodded.
“You…you…”
Luna was furious. She was breathing heavily which made her big chest heave up and down. “Fatty Frank is a Trust Fund Baby. It’s normal that he causes problems, but shouldn’t you be there to hold
him back?”
She did not even consider that it might be Andrius who had beaten Connor up.
First, it was not news that Fatty Frank would beat someone up.
Second, she remembered what a coward Andrius was.
Andrius did not explain. He simply asked, “If that Connor Rogers was the bad guy and Fatty Frank beat him up, why should I have held him back? Connor Rogers is a prick, and things won’t be solved without a beating. Now that the contract has been signed, it’s the best outcome.”
“Huh?” Luna scoffed. She was forced to look at Andrius differently
once more.
People from the countryside were all violent and boorish, and they only knew how to solve problems with violence.
What a reckless man!
She sighed and said, “Connor Rogers is affiliated with the gang. If you beat him up, trouble will follow.”
As soon as her words subsided, loud honks could be heard outside the building before a car screeched to a stop in front of the entrance.
Then, Danni, the secretary came into the room in a hurry. “Ms. Crestfall, Connor Rogers is here!”
Chapter 64
Connor was already here?
Luna narrowed her eyes. “Look what you two have done!”
She glared at Andrius before she and Athena went out of the office.
Outside the building, Connor was pacing back and forth anxiously, waiting.
When Luna came down, his eyes shone brightly, and he strode over to her.
Athena stepped forward and stopped him.
Connor showed a flattering smile, but before he could say a word, Luna said, “Connor, I know it’s our fault that my men beat you up, but you’ve already taken the deposit and you’ve been dragging out on the relocation. That’s why my men were there to nudge you.
“If you are here to take revenge or whatever, just do it. I’m not afraid of you.” Luna knew Connor was not a proper person, but she could not come out as a weakling.
Connor was startled. He quickly explained, “Ms. Crestfall, you have the wrong idea. I’m not here because I was beaten up by your men. I signed the contract because my conscience told me I shouldn’t be doing this. It has nothing to do with me being beaten up! I swear!”
He put his hand up and swore sincerely, which stunned Luna.
What happened to Connor? Had he bumped his head into a wall or something?
The man was known as the biggest prick in Sumeria. Everyone had a hard time dealing with him.
However, not only did he sign the contract, but he even lowered
ZA
himself in front of her and claimed that it was because of his conscience.
Not even a three-year-old would believe his nonsense.
Commor noticed the blank look on Luna’s face, and he took it as a sign of displeasure. He immediately explained, “Ms. Crestfall, I’ll be honest with you. I’m dragging it out because Solomon Stormbrew of
Castlerock is behind this.
“He forced me to do it and wanted me to accuse New Moon Corporation of forcing me to leave with violence. He’s going to bring the media here tomorrow.”
His revelation shocked Luna.
Violent coercion and media at their door! Solomon was trying to bring down the entire New Moon Corporation!
“What did you say? Solomon wants to use it against us?” she asked Connor.
Luna got nervous.
The amount of money involved in the relocation and demolition was large and it had always been the city government’s priority of
inspection.
There was a major company that was involved with gangs that was made an example out of due to coercion against the occupants, and the entire company had disappeared from Sumeria.
If New Moon Corporation was involved in rumors like this, even if they could escape alive, their reputation would be severely damaged.
Luna dared not think about it anymore.
Just when Connor wanted to ask what Luna was going to do, he looked up and coincidentally saw Andrius behind her. Chills ran down his spine and caused his legs to turn weak as he knelt down before
Luna immediately.
“Ms. Crestfall, I never planned to help Solomon testify. I assure you I will be on your side tomorrow and will defend New Moon Corporation! Please…forgive me for dragging this matter out for so long.”
Then, he looked up at Luna, or more precisely, at Andrius who was behind her.
Noticing the man’s gaze, Luna turned around and saw Andrius standing there.
Luna was confused.
Connor was acting strange, but she could not pinpoint what it was. He was unlike his usual self and looked at Andrius with reverence.
“Ms. Crestfall!”
Connor’s anxiety grew as Luna stayed silent. He immediately
continued, “Ms. Crestfall, I didn’t mean to offend you. It’s Solomon, that b*stard forced me to! I will never dare to be disrespectful to you. I can also offer you another piece of land as compensation!”
He was like a dog by the street begging for food except for the fact that he could speak.
Luna could not figure out what happened, but it was a desired
outcome. Not only did it solve the problem, but she even got to learn of Solomon’s schemes.
She nodded and said, “I can forgive you, but you have to testify for me tomorrow. Understand?”
apter 65
“I got it! I got it!” Connor nodded repeatedly. “Thank you, Ms. Crestfall, thank you! I will be prepared for tomorrow!”
Then, he had a glance at Andrius, and when he did not see any disapproving expression on the man’s face, he breathed a sigh of relief and got up.
He apologized a few more times before he left in a hurry.
Luna watched the man leave her sight as she pondered.
When she returned to her office, she asked, “Andrius, tell me the truth. Why did Connor look so horrified when he sees you?”
Andrius simply said, “Maybe he’s scared of me beating him up.”
“You are the one who beat him up?”
Luna was slightly surprised. She rolled her eyes at him and looked somewhat angry. “Don’t simply throw your fist at someone. Don’t forget you are still my nominal husband. I don’t want to be involved in anything unpleasant.”
Andrius remained silent.
Luna coldly grunted at his silence, “This is a lawful society. Things won’t get solved with a fist or violence.”
Andrius did not bother to explain himself. Sometimes, the fist was the best solution to all the problems.
The next day, Luna was going through her schedule for the upcoming days.
Danni came into the office in a hurry. “Ms. Crestfall! There’s a bunch of reporters at our door!”
It was happening. Solomon has made his move against New Moon Corporation.
A frosty look appeared on Luna’s beautiful face. “Let’s go have a look.”
When they reached the entrance, there were at least a hundred reporters out there. Not even a fly could get through, let alone
a person.
When they saw Luna, the crowd grew tumultuous, and the microphones and the cameras were almost shoved into Luna’s
face.
“Ms. Crestfall! Please comment on your company’s decision to remove the occupants through coercion.”
“Ms. Crestfall, there’s news about a fight at Connor Rogers’ factory. It’s located on the land that your company is purchasing. Care to explain?”
“Ms. Crestfall, the project is still at an early stage.
Construction still hasn’t started yet New Moon Group is acting like its king. Are you not afraid?”
“Ms. Crestfall!”
The reporters were ceaseless and relentless with their ridiculous questions.
Without Connor’s warning from yesterday, Luna would have
been at a loss for words.
Now, she was prepared for this.
“Ahem!”
Luna cleared her throat to silence all the reporters. She glanced over everyone and assured them with absolute confidence, “New Moon Corporation is not involved in any coercion or violence. Relocation and demolitions are all carried
out according to lawful procedures and occupants are compensated reasonably.
“We were not and will not be involved. Connor Rogers signed his land to us because of his conscience. I hope the media will stop making mountains out of molehills about this.”
