Chapter 173
As long as there was a type that man favored, she could adapt to it.
Suletta even learned how to flirt with a man from books, absorbing a total of 36
techniques to capture a man’s heart successfully, and she ought to put them to good
use tomorrow.
“If I can get the Wolf King’s attention, I will be the princess of the entire South County, the brightest star among the women!”
With that, Suletta lowered her head shyly and tried to be as feminine as possible.
The next day, the new military governor’s inauguration ceremony was scheduled to be held in the city council’s central square.
The square was beautifully decorated. There was a stage in the center, and in front of it were the seats for the VIPS.
There were only three rows of VIP seats. The first row, which was the most unique, was prepared solely for the Wolf King.
The second row was for the local government officials and the dignitaries, both separated by an aisle.
The third row was for the rest of the officials and influential families.
Most of the invited families were massively wealthy and influential, and they all brought their most trusted sons and most attractive daughters to the event.
Behind the VIP seats were countless more audience seats–more than a thousand of them–and they were all filled.
In front of and on both sides of the stage, countless cameras rolled. More than a hundred media outlets and reporters were on the wait. They wanted to record the historical moment with the best details from multiple angles. The local TV station also had a live telecast broadcasting across the city.
It was a grand and magnificent event.
Under tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, Marcus walked up to the stage.
“Good day, citizens of Sumeria. I am Marcus Freely, your mayor, and I will be your host for this inauguration ceremony!”
When the amplified voice faded, thunderous applause sounded from the audience seat.
The applause went on for a long time before they stopped and allowed Marcus to continue his simple speech.
“Let us welcome the new military turnover of Sumeria, Mr. Severus Sano!”
Deafening cheering sounded again.
As loud as thunder and as continuous as endless waves, the applause grew louder and louder by the second.
After a while, the entire square went quiet suddenly.
Everyone held their breaths nervously as they waited for the new military governor to go up on stage. Their eyes widely opened and dared not miss a single moment.
Thud!
A tall and straight figure appeared in front of the audience. His figure was as straight as a ramrod. His pace was swift and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Everyone was captivated by his energetic presence and pressuring aura. No one dared to move or even breathe loudly.
He was the new military governor of Sumeria, Severus Sano.
Severus walked up on stage and looked at the audience. He wore a frosty look as he said with a strong voice, “Good day, everyone. I am Severus Sano, the new military governor of Sumeria.”
The brief introduction plus his sharp eyes made the people feel like they were being eyed by a powerful king. Their hearts pounded and suddenly had a strange urge to
submit.
Severus‘ aura was dominating!
Countless young lasses fell for his charms and wanted to bear his babies. Those who were more intelligent and dignified thought of another question: if the military turnover was this dominating, what would it be like with the Wolf King?
Suletta was in the second row, and she could not stop her heart from racing when she saw Severus. Her face blushed as she was eager to see the Wolf King.
Then, Marcus said, “Now then. Let us welcome the Wolf King on stage to inaugurate Governor Sano officially!”
Chapter 174
This time, the applause was countless times louder than before. It was so loud that it was deafening; it was endless that it sounded like waves.
The applause took over the entire city council like a tornado.
The Wolf King!
Under the witness of tens of thousands of Sumerians, the Wolf King finally appeared.
Thunk!
The massive spotlight shone at the entrance, and it silenced the entire square instantly.
The applause stopped tacitly in unison.
A moment ago, the entire square was shaking because of the applause, but now, it was so quiet that one could hear a needle falling on the ground.
Everyone looked at the entrance.
They only had one thought in their minds–to see what the Wolf King looked like and how dominant he was.
They forgot to blink.
They forgot to breathe.
They forgot about everything.
Their eyes were glued to the entrance as they waited patiently, afraid to lose the slightest detail of the Wolf King’s entrance.
Swoosh!
A figure appeared under the spotlight.
The spotlight stretched his shadow onto the red carpet. The contour of the shadow looked handsome and majestic.
The Wolf King was finally here!
The person that the entire city had been waiting for had finally arrived.
As the shadow came closer, everyone widened their eyes and stared at the walking figure.
Then, a tall figure stood in front of the entrance.
Valiant, outstanding, handsome, majestic, energetic, and heroic.
The strong aura of a hero scattered and flooded the
square.
Everyone’s heart pounded as they waited for the Wolf King to show himself.
“Salute!” Marcus suddenly shouted from the stage.
Thud!
Starting from Marcus and Severus, all the other soldiers lifted their hands for a formal salutation together. Everything from the formality, the solemness, and the unimaginably straight postures felt grand.
Fwoosh!
Then, all the audience and the VIPS stood up on their feet. Those with hats took off their hats as a symbol of respect for the Wolf King.
“Attention!” Marcus shouted once more, signaling the end of the salutation.
The Wolf King was approaching the entrance.
One step, two steps, three steps.
As he set foot on the red carpet, the spotlight at the back dimmed, and people could start seeing his facial features.
The Hanshus were one of the big three families in the city. Although Wayman was dead and Simon was comatose, there were still other influential family members who were seated in the second row.
All the young ones stared at the incoming figure.
Many had exceptional eyesight, and when they had a closer look at the Wolf King’s facial features, their hearts sank.
The Wolf King somehow looked familiar.
It delighted and horrified them at the same time, rendering their hearts restless.
The man was the Wolf King! Even Mayor Freely and Governor Sano respected him and worshiped him like a God. No one dared to defy or defile the Wolf King.
If any of them could have a conversation with the Wolf King…
Gasp!
The thought alone excited them!
As for their restlessness, they simply thought it was the natural fear of power or a person with influence.
Among the Hendersons, Suletta had dressed up meticulously for the occasion. She was the diamond among the jewelry, the brightest star in the night sky, and the most beautiful flower in the garden.
Her eyes were glued to the Wolf King.
Similar to the young ones of the Hanshus, she also found the Wolf King familiar. The strange sense of familiarity made her anxious and uneasy.
Why would she find the Wolf King familiar?
Could she have met the Wolf King before? How was it even possible?
The Wolf King came closer.
Everyone concentrated and wondered about the strange sense of familiarity.
The Wolf King took a few more steps forward, exiting the brilliance of the spotlight, and almost appearing before the people.
However, when everyone had a good look at the Wolf King’s face, they were stunned.
The
young Hanshus were shaken, collapsing on the ground as their legs turned weak.
The Wolf King was the biggest nemesis of the family, Andrius Moonshade?!
It was over! The Hanshus were doomed!
No wonder Scarface and King Kong were killed; no wonder Wayman was dead and Simon comatose!
They had messed with the Wolf King, and of course, it would not end well.
Many of the young ones passed out on the spot.
Suletta’s drifting thoughts were pulled back when she noticed the reaction from the young ones of the Hanshus. Her anticipation somehow rose.
How domineering was the Wolf King to the point that the young Hanshus were this afraid?
She looked at the Wolf King properly.
At a first glance, she was shocked. The Wolf King looked like Andrius.
At a second glance, she was convinced. The Wolf King was Andrius.
At a third glance, she was horrified.
How could Andrius be the Wolf King?
Suletta was stunned, her mind went blank. Her reaction intrigued Anthony, who had poorer eyesight due to his age.
How domineering was the Wolf King to the point that even his granddaughter was afraid?
Then, many of them rubbed their eyes and their glasses, trying to capture a proper glimpse of the Wolf King.
The Wolf King stepped up onto the stage and exited the blinding spotlight.
It was at that moment that the audience and VIPS under the stage had a clear look at the Wolf King’s face.
Andrius Moonshade?!
When Anthony and the others saw the true face of the Wolf King, they were horrified. They instinctively canceled out the name in their minds in disbelief.
Impossible. Impossible!
It was impossible for Andrius to be the Wolf King!
Anthony pinched his thigh, and the pain stung him. He was not dreaming.
The Hanshu elders rubbed their teary eyes. Some even punched themselves, attempting to knock themselves out of the illusion or dream.
When they had another look at the Wolf King, it was still Andrius!
Andrius was indeed the Wolf King!
The Wolf King that they wanted to meet so much was Andrius!
The man who they looked down on!
The man that Anthony was going after.
They were shocked, stunned, bedazzled, and baffled.
The man that they looked down on the most, Andrius, was the Wolf King that commanded the million Lycantroops!
Chapter 175
The sky was bright, but everyone’s sights turned dark.
The ground was peaceful and silent, but everyone’s hearts were trembling.
Anthony, Suletta, and the others felt dizzy as their world was toppled over.
Everything changed.
Everything looked strange.
Everything felt horrifying.
Even with the sun shining in the sky, their vision turned dark as if the end of the world had arrived.
The Wolf King that they had anticipated was Andrius, who they tried to kill or target. The Hendersons‘ days were numbered.
Anthony’s heart beat so fast that it almost burst out from his chest. He was drenched in his sweat, and his forehead was glistening. He was on the verge of breaking down.
Suletta’s jaw dropped so low that she could swallow a lightbulb whole. Her body trembled while she was horrified. She was on the verge of collapsing as well.
Andrius strode over to the first row of the VIP seats.
Anthony sensed Andrius‘ gaze from a closer distance. When he looked up, he noticed Andrius looking at him as well.
Andrius grinned, showing off his white teeth. “I’m sorry to keep you guys waiting,” he said with a smile but Anthony heard it while tears rolled down his face.
Andrius sat down leisurely.
Feeling immensely pressured, Anthony collapsed on the chair due to anxiety.
Spurt!
Anthony coughed blood due to the intense reaction. His head tilted to the side and almost died on the spot in the center of the second–row seats.
“Sob…” Suletta broke down in tears.
The endless despair and darkest times shrouded the two of them.
Anthony and Suletta finally got answers to many of their questions.
Why would he dare to turn Randal into a retard?
Why would he dare to kill Wayman?
Why would he put Simon in a comatose state?
Why would he claim that he would destroy the Hanshus?
Why would he look down on the reward that Anthony offered him?
It was because he was the Wolf King!
The supreme and superior Wolf King that commanded a million Lycantroiops.
They finally understood why Andrius did not want any reward after saving Anthony; not even five billion was enough to move his heart.
He simply said that saving someone was the duty of a doctor. It was not an excuse or some scheme, but he really did not care about the five billion!
Since then, they took Andrius as a scheming person and believed that he wanted to ask for more.
They were so wrong, so wrong that neither of them could handle the consequences.
The Wolf King saving Anthony should be a celebratory event, something that Anthony could brag about for life.
Who would have thought…
The Hendersons had mistaken, accused, and slandered the Wolf King. They even wanted to hand the Wolf King over to the Hanshus.
They forced Luna to hand him over or they would destroy the Crestfalls where the Wolf King was living.
It was a serious crime that could not be forgiven and must be punished by genocide.
A strict, emotionless, and frosty judgment awaited them.
Regret and despair filled their souls, but nothing could be done to turn the situation
around.
Andrius did not care about what they were thinking.
Why would a dragon be concerned about some ants?
Would a phoenix care about how tiny a pigeon was?
Today was Severus‘ inauguration day, and it was a happy day indeed.
As Severus‘ superior, he agreed to attend, so he ought to make it his best entrance yet.
“Now then…” On the stage, Marcus looked at Andrius and said, “Now onto our most important segment: the Wolf King will officially inaugurate Governor Sano!”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Thunderous applause sounded once more.
Andrius got up again and headed up on stage.
Severus was excited.
Being inaugurated by the Wolf King himself, despite just being the military governor of a city, it was enough for him to brag about for the years to come and make his friends and comrades jealous.
“Wolf King!” Severus called out strongly with teary eyes.
If it was not for Andrius, he would not be able to stand on stage as the new military governor and would have died a long time ago at the border.
His feelings for Andrius were pure and admirable without the least bit of adulteration.
“You little rascal.” Andrius tapped Severus‘ shoulder and said with a smile, “You’d better do a good job here.”
Severus nodded strongly, “Yes, sir!”
When the audience and VIPs heard Andrius, they were rather speechless.
