Chapter 113
It would be a great opportunity to change one’s life and should not be missed because such a chance would never happen again.
At River Helm, after Anthony received the news, the excitement kept him up all night. He might be the richest man in the city, but he could not dominate every aspect with his wealth.
Other than him, there were three major families in Sumeria.
Any one of the three families might pale in comparison to the Hendersons, but when they teamed up, their combined business chains and manpower were large as they spread across the military, politics and the business worlds. They would be powerful enough to rival the Hendersons.
Now with the new military governor and the Wolf King’s arrival, Anthony spotted a chance to change the situation, or a chance to boost his name to new heights.
As long as he could win the favor of and leave an impression on the Wolf King, the Hendersons could emerge a victor from this competition for control over the city. Then, they would take the lead and become the strongest force in Sumeria.
He was eager to meet the Wolf King.
After a sleepless night, he had the idea of telling his granddaughter, Suletta, to win the heart of the Wolf King. After all, it was easier for a woman to do the job.
Suletta was considered one of the most beautiful women in Sumeria, and she was also the most influential and wealthy woman.
Thus, Anthony was confident in his granddaughter.
“Suletta, this is important. Make no mistakes.”
Suletta knew the importance of this meeting as well. If she was able to steal the Wolf King’s heart, the Hendersons might not only be Sumeria’s richest, but they might even be the richest in the whole of the Southern County.
She nodded solemnly and said in confidence, “Grandfather, I will prepare myself for this.”
She sounded like she had already won the heart of the Wolf King.
Meanwhile, Solomon also received the news.
However, he knew what he was capable of, and he did not have a huge ambition like Anthony, so he simply wanted to use this opportunity to destroy the Crestfalls.
Luna was in charge of the Valiant Institute project, a place where veterans could retire in peace and be taken care of. Should anything happen to the project, the Wolf King’s
wrath might be invoked.
Until then, not only New Moon Corporation, but even a thousand Crestfalls would not be enough to handle the wrath of the Wolf King.
The Crestfalls would be over!
Solomon could use this opportunity to achieve his goal.
Therefore, he invited the director of the General Administration of Quality
Supervision, Densel Powell, to the hotel.
“Director Powell, I would like to ask a favor…”
Solomon secretly passed Densel a card and then signed ‘three‘ and three ‘zeroes‘ with
his hands.
Thirty million!
Densel’s brows fluttered. He smiled and asked, “Mr. Stormbrew, what is it? As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely do what I can.”
“It’s simple!” Solomon said in a small voice, “Luna Crestfall of New Moon Corporation purchased a new batch of machinery for their project. I believe that in order to have the machines working, they will need your authorization for quality and safety inspection.
“If you can stall for two weeks to a month and not give them the stamp of approval, they won’t be able to complete the project in time. That’s it.”
Baldy Lewis had been arrested.
Solomon only knew that the Crestfalls got their machines but did not know they were from the military factory, hence his secret meeting with Densel.
Densel patted his bloated stomach and said, “Mr. Stormbrew, easy–peasy! I can even delay it by two to three months, not just two weeks.”
He kept the card in his pocket and assured Solomon, “I guarantee you that New Moon Corporation will never complete the Valiant Institute project in time. Don’t worry!”
Chapter 114
In the next few days, everything was peaceful and smooth.
With the instructors from the military factory supervising the site, the assembly of the large machinery was completed smoothly, and the operators had gotten used to operating the machines.
All they needed was the safety inspection from the General Administration of Quality Supervision and the stamp of approval, then they could start the project.
Everything was progressing accordingly.
On this particular day, Luna was charting out the next phase of the company’s project in her office.
Danni, her secretary, rushed into the office and said, “Ms. Crestfall, the people from the GAQS are here. Director Densel Powell is leading the team himself. They are already at the site.”
Luna immediately put her work aside and said, “Let’s go have a look.”
At the construction site, a bloated middle–aged man was pointing at the machines.
The employees of New Moon Corporation followed him around timidly and dared not raise their voices in reply to his questions.
Luna noticed what was going on, so she went over with furrowed brows and asked, Director Powell, the machines…”
“These are problematic machines! There are potential safety hazards that cannot be used in construction.” Densel then looked at Luna and said, “According to the GAQS rules, machines that don’t fit the safety production criteria are to be…destroyed. Ms. Crestfall, will you be doing it yourself or we shall do you the honor?”
He then looked at Luna with a grin.
Luna was stunned.
Potential safety hazards? Problematic? Must be destroyed?
Ridiculous! Impossible!
“Director Powell, are you sure about this?” Luna asked in disbelief. “These machines are all from the military factory. How could they produce machines with serious safety hazards? Is something wrong with the inspection…”
Densel did not want to listen to her explanation.
As matter of fact, when he took the card from Solomon, the fate of the machines was sealed. They must be destroyed.
(C
Like a famous philosopher once said, once you suspect someone, the trust in him or her is already gone.
Densel said in disdain, “Ms. Crestfall, you are a reputable person, so how can you say something that outrageous? Military orders are made with strict requests, and they must go through legal procedures and military inspection. Why would they produce machines for commercial use?”
He looked at the woman in front of him with disdain.
People said that blondes were idiots. Luna was beautiful and seductive, but she was stupid.
Luna was furious. She wanted to show Densel the order invoice she got from Andrius the other day, but Densel stopped her.
“Even if they are produced under military inspection, as long as the quality fails to meet requirements, they must be destroyed.”
Whether the machines were qualified or not was a matter of his word, so he was emboldened by the sheer power.
Densel left, leaving Luna stunned on the spot.
She was furious and anxious, but she had no words to argue back.
It was then that Solomon called her. “Luna Crestfall, aren’t you starting the Valiant Institute project anytime soon? If you keep delaying it and the deadline isn’t met, when Mayor Freely and the Wolf King put the blame on you, then New Moon Corporation will be finished.”
Solomon’s timely phone call infuriated Luna. She gritted her teeth and realized that Solomon was behind this as well. He must have gotten the General Administration of Quality Supervision to disrupt the progress.
However, without sufficient evidence, she could not do anything. The only way to solve this was to ask for Mayor Freely’s help.
Unfortunately, Mayor Freely was having a meeting in another city and could not make it back anytime soon.
Chapter 115
The company could not wait any longer.
Once the General Administration of Quality Supervision destroyed the machines, even if Mayor Freely could make it back, Luna would have no explanation for the situation.
Disheartened, she returned to the office.
Once the whole company heard the news, everyone drowned in anxiety.
Meanwhile, in Team Five’s office, Andrius was engrossed in reading a military
newspaper on the couch.
Fatty Frank rushed in. He panted heavily as he said, “Boss, Boss! Something bad has happened!”
Andrius frowned. “What? I thought everything was going smoothly.”
“Sigh…” Fatty Frank gasped for air and furrowed his brows. “Boss, you have no idea what just happened. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, or GAQS, came with the director, Densel Powell leading the team.
“He said our machines don’t meet the safety requirements and that they have
potential safety hazards, thus they must be destroyed! He’s gone back to bring his men here! What are we going to do?”
Fatty Frank was anxious.
Andrius was upset when he heard Fatty Frank.
The machines were produced by the military factory under his order, thus there was no way they did not meet the safety requirements or contained potential safety hazards.
The General Administration of Quality Supervision was causing problems.
Andrius walked out of the office quietly and called Noir, “Noir, call the person in
charge of the General Administration of Quality Supervision of Sumeria. I want to see him at their office.”
“Alright, Andy. On it.”
The brief phone call ended.
Andrius headed to the General Administration of Quality Supervision alone.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the reception.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” The receptionist was unfriendly when he saw Andrius.
Andrius glanced at him and said calmly, “I am from New Moon Corporation, and I am here to see your director.”
“New Moon Corporation?”
The man instantly looked snooty when he heard the name. The other officers in the office had disdain on their faces as well, and none of them took Andrius seriously.
“Punk, Director Powell has already announced that your machines did not meet the safety requirements. If you are here to plead…” The man ridiculed arrogantly, “Then, kneel down to show your sincerity!”
Then, he strode over to Andrius and performed a low kick at Andrius. He was trying to force Andrius onto his knees.
Andrius narrowed his eyes. He slapped the man’s face with lightning–fast speed.
Slap!
The loud slap echoed across the entire office, and the man was sent flying. He crashed to the floor with a swollen cheek.
“Y–you dare slap me?! At the GAQS office?! You are dead!”
“You are dead meat!”
“Kneel!”
The others came up and wanted to beat Andrius up for the act of violence.
Andrius chuckled. He did not budge from his spot, but he slapped every one of them who approached him. His slap was so strong that it sent them all flying.
Less than five seconds later, they were all on the ground with cheeks so swollen that not even their parents could recognize them now.
“Call your director, Densel Powell, right now.” Andrius glanced at them and bellowed, “Tell him to get the hell out here. My patience is limited!”

“Director!”
The receptionist immediately called Densel’s phone and told him about Andrius‘‘ crimes‘.
“Someone from New Moon Corporation is here! The arrogant jerk beat us all up and wanted to see you, Director Powell! Director, if you don’t come back now, he will beat us all to death! Director, please come back!”
Densel was infuriated when he received the call. He was fuming with anger.
“I’ll be right there! I want to see which motherf*cker is that audacious to beat our men up! He must have a death wish!”
He hung up the phone.
The receptionist grinned and scoffed at Andrius. The director was furious, and the punk would be dead in no time.
With his arrogance fueled, he got up and bellowed at Andrius, “Punk, the director is coming over! If you don’t want to die, kneel and apolo-…”
Andrius cackled with laughter when the receptionist continued to be arrogant.
Sometimes, violence was the only way to silence someone.
Slap!
Andrius slapped the man again. His blow was so hard that the man spun twice on the spot. His head buzzed and he almost lost his balance.
“You piece of sh*t! You slapped me again?!” the receptionist shouted as he pointed and cursed at Andrius.
The others came over and tried to stop Andrius.

Andrius narrowed his eyes. He grabbed the receptionist by the collar and continued to slap him.
Slap! Slap! Slap!

After a flurry of slaps later, the receptionist’s face was swollen, and he was bleeding
from his mouth.
The others came over.
Chapter 117
Andrius did not take him seriously. He had another glance at his watch and said, “Four more minutes.”
Chapter 118
The person who shouted was the person in charge of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Adam Strong.
However, when Densel saw Adam, he looked more delighted than ever. He went up to the man attentively and said, “Adam, my brother–in–law, you are here! Come in! Come in!”
