Chapter 72
Andrius frowned. “Frank, listen to me. Do not buy the shares from the Cloverfields.”
He had just met Marcus, the mayor.
The Cloverfields had sustained a major loss and had filed for bankruptcy. How could they get publicly listed while facing a devastating financial crisis?
They were trying to cheat people’s money and flee the city!
Fatty Frank was discouraged. “Boss, why?”
Andrius explained, “The Cloverfields are going bankrupt soon, so this is just a trap. They intentionally leaked the news and let people think this is a great opportunity. When they get the money, they will flee the city.”
“That’s impossible!” Fatty Frank confidently explained, “The Cloverfields are doing great! They even went on national
television a few years ago, and their businesses are doing well! How can they be facing bankruptcy?”
Andrius could not be bothered to explain further. He simply said, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you.”
Fatty Frank hesitated. He admired Andrius who was the best fighter he had ever met in his life.
However, when it came to the stock market…
After some serious consideration and hesitation, Fatty Frank bit the bullet and decided to trust Andrius.
If he invested and the Cloverfields fled, he might lose money;
if he did not invest, he would not earn a profit but would not lose anything either!
Fatty Frank knew how capable he was. He never really wanted to earn a lot of money. As long as he could stay out of trouble and live a normal life, he would be more than happy.
Later that night at Dream’s Waterfront, Andrius came back and saw Luna on her phone.
His sharp eyes spotted the stock market interface on her screen. She was looking at the Cloverfields’ company. She even keyed in the setting to automatically purchase the shares first thing when the stock market opened the next day.
Andrius warned her, “The Cloverfields can’t even save
themselves now. They are trying to cheat your money and run away. Don’t buy their stocks.”
Luna was in a delighted mood until Andrius ruined it with his advice.
She put her phone away and grunted coldly. “Do you even understand Sumeria’s economic status? Are you some financial professor who studies the stock market? Stop being a nosy person and order people around. I don’t need you to teach me how to use my company’s funds.”
Andrius’ kind reminder was treated as nonsense, and he even got criticized by Luna. However, he could not be bothered to argue with her.
Since he already warned her, it was up to her to take his advice
or not.
Luna lost her mood. She returned to her room and called Halle to complain about Andrius.
“Halle, Andrius is so full of nonsense. He sure likes to brag a lot.”
Halle went silent for a moment before she asked, “Luna, what happened?”
Luna said, “I was going to buy the Cloverfields’ company shares, but he told me that the company cannot even save themselves and warned me to not buy their shares… What a joke! Is he some financial advisor? Or is he some supervisor working for the Ministry of Finance? How dare he say something like that in my face?”
Her words were full of contempt for Andrius.
Halle heard Luna’s complaint and she said, “Luna, why don’t you think it over? Look, you were running around to gather funds in the afternoon, and now you have suddenly decided to buy the Cloverfields’ company shares. If the Cloverfields really go bankrupt, your money will…”
She knew Andrius was a capable person who would never speak without thinking. He must have gotten some insider
news.
Before she could finish, Luna stopped her. “Hold up, hold up! No! Don’t say that! It won’t happen! We are going to earn a lot of money this time, and I must seize this chance to not only get the funds for the project, but I will also use this chance to prove myself to my family! I have to go now. I’ll talk to you soon.”
Luna then hung up the phone.
Halle signed helplessly after the call ended. She did not expect Luna to act the opposite after listening to her advice.
Luna did not turn her decision around. In fact, it even
strengthened her opinion of buying the Cloverfields’ company shares.
Chapter 73
Halle knew that Andrius must have insider news on the matter, so she called him. “Andrius, Luna is going to buy the Cloverfields’ company shares. She told me you said that the Cloverfields can’t even save themselves. Are you serious?”
“Of course.” Andrius sounded firm. “I got the news from Marcus. The company has been losing money for a while now. They are planning to get whatever money they can and leave the city.”
Halle believed him.
The mayor, Marcus, was Andrius’ ex-subordinate, so it was impossible for him to make such a low mistake.
If Andrius said the Cloverfields would be over soon, they would
be over soon.
Anxious, Halle asked, “Then, what should we do? Luna insists on buying the shares, I tried talking to her, but it didn’t work.”
“We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it.”
Andrius was helpless as well. He made it clear to Luna, yet she insisted on jumping into the trap.
What else could he do about it?
The night went by quietly.
The next day, while Andrius was still sleeping, a few hurried knocks came from his door.
He got up to open the door.
Luna was outside his room. “Andrius, my cousin is coming to Sumeria for school today. I have something else to do later, so I need you to pick her up at the airport, and help her move her luggage or whatever. I’ll send you her contact and picture.”
She tapped on her phone and sent Andrius the contact and the picture.
Before Andrius could say a word, Luna grabbed her purse and left the house in a hurry.
Andrius went to the bathroom to clean up before he headed to Noir’s auto repair garage.
Noir was surprised to see Andrius at his place this early. Andy, you’re early today.”
Andrius helplessly said, “I’m going to the airport to pick
someone up, so I need a car from you.”
“You’re gonna pick someone up?” Noir ridiculed, “I see you are expanding your business.”
Andrius was rendered speechless.
Noir chuckled. “What car are you looking for? Name it and it’s yours for the road.”
“Don’t need to go through all the trouble.” Andrius waved his hand and then simply pointed at a normal-looking car in the garage. “Is this in working condition?”
Noir scratched his head. “It’s working, but it doesn’t match your status.”
Andrius pouted. “Enough, stop with the nonsense. I’m taking it.”
He got into the car and drove out of the garage.
The car sped on the freeway and reached the airport after a while. It was still too early when he arrived, so he parked the car and went to get breakfast.
Ten minutes later, a girl came out from the departure gate.
The tall, leggy girl looked cute in her white dress that fluttered as she sauntered lightly out of the gate.
She pulled her phone out and dialed a series of numbers.” Hello? Mr. Moonshade? I’m Rainbow Conery, Luna’s cousin. You can come to pick me up at the departure gate. I’m almost there.”
Then, she hung up the phone and headed to the exit.
Then, a BMW 7 Series stopped in front of her with the window wound down.
A gangster, whose top was bare with his tattoos showing, whistled at her and teased her frivolously, “Hey, sweetie, get in and we’ll have a good time.”
Rainbow ignored him and drew distance from the car.
‘Damn, she looks like a virgin! I’m in luck!’
The gangster’s narrowed eyes gleamed wickedly as he got out. of the car. He strode to Rainbow and pervertedly said, “Come on, cutie, your time will be rewarded.”
He swallowed and pulled out a stack of money. “One night with me, and this whole stack of money is yours.”
Chapter 74
“Get out of my face!”
Rainbow lost her patience, but her shout did not startle or frighten the gangster. Instead, it piqued his interest even
more.
“Feisty! I like a feisty girl.”
He sized Rainbow up with an invasive gaze. If he could get her in his bed, they would have wild sex tonight.
“Babe, I have never heard of a woman not spreading her legs for money. It’s not enough, is it?”
Before Rainbow could say anything, the gangster pulled out another stack of bills from his car. “Twenty grand, enough? It’s considered quite high around here. With this price, I can get myself a lesser-known fashion model.”
Rainbow glanced at her watch. The person who should be picking her up was not in sight yet, and she was being annoyed by the gangster, so she was forced to move away from the spot.
As she dragged her luggage away with her, the gangster stopped her once more.
“Come on, babe. Don’t go. Twenty grand ain’t enough? Damn, girl, you’ve got a big appetite. Okay, how about fifty grand?”
The gangster fanned out all five of his fingers. This time he did not pull any more money from his car because he did not have that much with him either.
Rainbow ignored him and continued forward.
The more resistant she was, the more intrigued the gangster was. This time, he grabbed Rainbow’s luggage and stopped her on the spot.
“Babe, let’s talk it out. We can discuss it until the price is right.”
The gangster stared at Rainbow, drooling over her beauty.” Last offer, a hundred grand! It’s a good price. I can get top celebrities with that price!”
He had a sniff of Rainbow’s scent and was more intoxicated than ever. “I really like you. That’s why I am offering you this high a price. And this is just the start. If you continue to go out with me, I’ll give you everything you want. Money, watches, cars, bags, you name it!”
He was talking nonsense, which was what gangsters did best.
If he could get the girl in the car and record them having sex, forcing her to submit to his will, then he would have total control over her. It was not his first time ruining a girl’s life.
Rainbow was expressionless as she did not even spare a glance at him.
The gangster lost his patience. A glint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He pulled a bottle of water from his car and said, ” Hey, babe, are you thirsty? Have a drink! I know you must be exhausted after the flight.”
Rainbow scoffed. She knew what the gangster was trying to do
to her.
“Rainbow, there you are!”
An Audi R8 stopped in front of Rainbow, and a handsome
young man came down. It was Rainbow’s classmate, Garren Greenhill.
“Who are you? Why are you holding Rainbow’s luggage?” Garren asked when he saw the gangster.
Even though he was intimidated by the gangster’s tattoos, he mustered up enough courage to question him. He had always liked Rainbow and was there to pick her up to give her a good impression.
Coincidentally, Rainbow was being harassed by some
gangster, and if he could help her get out of the situation, he could shorten the distance between them.
Garren had it all planned out.
To his surprise, the gangster stared at him viciously and bellowed, “Who the hell are you? I’m talking to this babe here! Not you!”
“I’m her classmate!” Garren mustered more courage and tried to snatch the luggage back from the gangster.
However, despite him using all his strength, he could not free. the luggage from the gangster’s grip.
Things went south all of a sudden.
Chapter 75
The gangster grinned wickedly when he sensed how weak Garren was. “Classmate? You better f*ck off before I f*ck you up. Do you know who I am?”
Garren was frightened. He asked timidly, “W-who are you?”
“I’m in the Empire.”
As the gangster grinned, the flaps on his cheeks widened, making him look vicious. He raised his arm to display the dragon tattoo on it and said, “See this? They call me Dragon.”
“Y-you are Dragon of the Empire?” Garren was frightened, and even his voice trembled.
Dragon of the Empire was a man with a notorious reputation. He had a hundred men under his command. He would either
bring his men out to cause problems or stay at the club, the Empire, to fool around with women.
There was once when a few drunkards caused a scene at the
Empire, and on the next day, they were all murdered, dismembered, and tossed into the river.
“Now you know who I am, get the hell out of my face, or do you want me to f*ck you up?” Dragon said with a grin.
Garren’s expression shifted multiple times, and he was at a loss of action for a moment.
If he walked away, he would paint himself a terrible image in Rainbow’s heart; if he stayed, he might suffer the
consequences if Dragon called his men on him.
Chapter 75
Garren found himself in a difficult situation.
Then, Andrius came by after he finished his meal.
He had a glance at the situation before he went over and snatched the luggage away from Dragon.
Dragon tried to seize it back, but Andrius tripped him, causing him to fall to his face.
“You piece of sh*t! Do you wanna die?!” His flappy cheeks jiggled while he appeared intimidating.
Andrius ignored him. He looked at Rainbow and said, “I’m Andrius, here to pick you up on behalf of Luna. Let’s go.”
Dragon was furious when Andrius ignored him. Aggrieved, he stopped Andrius and roared, “You f*cktard! Stay out of this, or I will call my men…”
Slap!
Before Dragon could finish, Andrius slapped him on the face and bellowed, “Go away!”
The powerful slap sent Dragon rolling on the ground.
Both Rainbow and Garren were shocked by Andrius’ bravado.
Dragon was stunned for a moment before he got up on his feet. He stared at Andrius grudgingly and bellowed, “You piece of sh*t! Just you wait!”
He then ran further away but kept Andrius within sight. Then, he pulled his phone out to call his men here.
Andrius ignored him, but then he realized Rainbow was heading in the other direction.
It was Garren who pulled Rainbow away when Andrius slapped
Dragon away.
“Rainbow, I know of a five-star hotel here that serves one of the best meals. Let’s go have lunch,” Garren sweet-talked her as he took her away, much to Andrius’ amusement.
How dare Garren snatch Rainbow from him?
They were not playing soccer, and Rainbow was not the ball.
Andrius went up to Garren and slapped him, making his lips almost fall off.
“Why didn’t you stand up for her just now? Instead, you’re acting all macho now after the gangster is gone?”
Andrius then dragged Rainbow to his car before Garren could
react.
Before they could get into the car, Dragon came back with his men. There were more than a dozen men behind him who looked absolutely frightening. Many of them had their hair dyed and some were dressed frivolously.
They quickly surrounded Andrius and Rainbow and stared at them with hostility.
Chapter 76
Garren wanted to reason with Andrius, but when he saw
Dragon and his men, he lost his courage. He quickly fled back to his car before Dragon could notice him. He stayed in the car and observed what would happen next.
“Punk.” Dragon stared at Andrius viciously. He grinned to show his terrible and yellowish teeth and bellowed, “We meet again so soon.”
Andrius grunted. “A good dog won’t obstruct the way.”
“You piece of sh*t! You’re making things worse for you and you’re asking for it!” Dragon was infuriated. He roared, “Get him and rip him to pieces!”
