Chapter 58
Back in the restaurant, Halle tried to find out who Andrius really was by baiting him with trick questions, but he did not fall for her traps.
With all options run out, she had one last trick up her sleeve-making him drunk and then forcing him to talk.
“Andrius, you drink ten glasses, I drink one.” Halle tried to force Andrius to drink using the most shameless way, but in the end, she was the one who got drunk.
Andrius was fine, but Halle’s face slammed on the table with a loud thud.
“Hello?”
Andrius nudged Halle.
Halle was out cold on the table. He was forced to carry her out of the
restaurant.
Then, he called Noir to pick him up.
A while later, Noir came in his minivan.
Noir grinned mischievously when he saw Andrius carrying an unconscious beautiful woman. “Andy, you are the man tonight! I see you had a lot of fun.”
“Shut up.” Andrius glared at Noir and helplessly said, “This is Luna’s best friend, Halle Fullberry. She asked me out and tried to make me drunk…”
“Gotcha.” Noir continued to grin as he asked. “Where to; Andy boy?”
Looking at the unconscious Halle, Andrius helplessly said, “Send her home, of course.”
2/3
“Where does she live?” Noir asked.
Andrius was stunned as he had no idea where Halle lived.
If he called Luna to ask where Halle lived, it would be asking for trouble. With all options exhausted, Andrius was forced to bring Halle back to Royal Garden.
After he settled Halle down, he took Noir’s car back to Dream’s Waterfront.
Luan was already at home. She was on the couch looking at her phone with her legs crossed.
When Andrius came in, she asked, “Andrius, why are you back so late?”
Andrius simply came up with an excuse and said, “I went for a walk.”
Luna pulled her attention away and continued looking at her phone.
Andrius returned to his room to grab some clothes before he headed
into the bathroom for a warm shower.
When he came out from the bathroom, he heard Luna talking to him, Andrius, you were outside the whole day, weren’t you? Did you know about Roman Restaurant on the Hidari Coast?”
“Yeah.”
“Who is the person who scared Governor Holland away?”
“I heard it’s the Wolf King of the Western Frontline,” Andrius said as he wiped his dripping hair with the towel.
Luna jumped to her feet and looked at him seriously. “Are you sure it’s the Wolf King of the Western Frontline?”
“It should be.”
“Is he handsome?”
“Quite.”
Andrius did not know whether to cry or to laugh at her question.
As Luna continued to scroll on her phone, he returned to his room.
He did not want to reveal his identity to Luna since they had no feelings for each other, and their ‘marriage’ would not last long either. After paying his debt on behalf of his master, he and Luna would leave each other.
Andrius put his thoughts away and started taking care of the military affairs for today.
The next day, Luna went to work early in the morning as usual.
Chapter 59
Andrius went to Royal Garden to check on Halle and tell her to go home.
When he opened the gate, he saw Halle walking around the yard. “Yo, you’re up early after a heavy night.”
“Andrius? Did you send me here last night?” Halle asked when she saw Andrius.
“Who else could it be?” Andrius rolled his eyes. Annoyed, he added, “If you can’t drink, don’t drink that much.”
Halle was shocked. “You own the Royal Garden?”
Andrius said indifferently, “Someone gave it to me.”
Gasp!
The Royal Garden was the biggest and the most lavish estate in Sumeria. A rich man from the capital bought it after it was completed, but then it was given to Andrius?
It was said that the entire estate cost ten billion to build!
Both the Fullberrys and New Moon Corporation’s combined net worth was not even one-tenth of the cost of the Royal Garden.
Looking at the shock on Halle’s face, Andrius urged her, “Since you are awake, please go home. I have to go back to work, or else Luna will punish me again.”
“Andrius, can I have a tour…”
“Go home!”
Andrius dragged her out of the gate and threw her out.
Halle was upset. She grumbled, “Where are your manners? No wonder
everyone calls you a poor guy from the countryside!”
Andrius ignored her and headed to work.
When he arrived at his department, Fatty Frank was not around.
Andrius got to his workstation and asked, “Where’s Fatty Frank?”
Angel brought him a cup of tea and said, “Frank went for a meeting.”
Andrius was surprised. “Why would anyone in the company want someone in the Trust Fund Team for a meeting?”
Angel awkwardly said, “Just to make up the numbers?”
Andrius scoffed but did not say anything.
A while later, Fatty Frank came back. The first thing he did was look for Andrius. “Is the boss here yet?”
“What is it?” Andrius asked.
“Boss, please help me!” Fatty Frank threw himself at Andrius. He almost knelt down on the floor and hugged Andrius’ leg.
Andrius pushed Fatty Frank away. “What is it? Don’t be touchy.”
Fatty Frank said, “Boss, I got a task at the meeting.”
“What task?” The other trust fund babies came over.
“They want us to take care of the relocation.”
“It’s not difficult. Just pay the occupants handsomely and they will leave,” Andrius said without being too concerned.
“Boss, you have no idea.” Fatty Frank explained, “The land that the Valiant Institute is being built on is almost cleared except for one factory. The factory owner, Connor Rogers, is not someone who likes to talk. He took our deposit but refuses to relocate. I can’t deal with him alone.”
Andrius knew what was going on after listening to Fatty Frank’s explanation.
The man known as Connor Rogers was a shameless prick. He had taken the deposit from the company but refused to move out.
Andrius asked after a sigh, “If you can’t solve this problem, why did you accept the task?”
“Boss, I didn’t ask for it. I was forced to take it.”
Fatty Frank’s eyes got teary. “Someone at the meeting suggested disbanding Team Five. Luna then suggested that we take this task in order to prevent disbandment.”
Andrius finally knew the truth behind Fatty Frank’s request. Since
Fatty Frank called him boss, he could not just leave the entire Team Five to die.
With that, Andrius nodded, “Alright. I’ll go with you.”
Chapter 60
After lunch, Andrius took Fatty Frank’s car to the construction site.
On the way there, Fatty Frank called Connor’s phone.
To his surprise, Connor informed him that he would be waiting for him at his office at the factory.
Fatty Frank looked worried. He asked, “Boss, do you think Connor is up to no good?”
Andrius said, “We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. Let’s see what trick he has up his sleeve.”
Right!”
With Andrius by his side, Fatty Frank gained confidence. “With Boss by my side, no tricks will work on us!”
Andrius was amused.
The two of them soon arrived at the factory.
Connor kept his promise and was waiting for them in his office. However, behind the man was a group of buffed men, lined up neatly with their hands behind their backs, showing off their bulging pecs. They looked like they were about to threaten someone.
“Yo…” Connor looked at Fatty Frank and teased him with a sardonic smile. “It’s just a relocation. Why did you bring someone with you? What is it? Afraid that I won’t move?”
He scoffed. “Even if I don’t relocate, I don’t think your guy can do anything to me. He looks puny and weak.”
Fatty Frank’s expression turned bitter. If he came alone, he would have already run. However, with Andrius by his side, he was able to draw confidence from him. He went up to Connor and asked, “Connor,
are you signing this relocation contract or not?”
“Of course! Of course, I’m signing it!” Connor showed unprecedented cooperation and took the contract out. “I, Connor Rogers, am a good citizen, not a prick. I’ve signed it. It’s your turn.”
Fatty Frank despised the man’s words, but he did not refute or comment on them.
Since Connor was willing to cooperate, he did not want to drag things out either. He lifted his pen and wanted to sign the contract.
Before his pen could touch the paper, Andrius pulled him back. He wanted to read through the contract carefully.
Connor looked at him strangely. Upset, he said, “Hey, punk! Are you trying to say I’m cheating you? It’s just a contract. Do you need to go through every detail? Besides, the price is already fixed. Sign it and get over it. Stop being a p*ssy!”
Andrius then pointed at the contract and grinned coldly. “Thirty
million. This area that your factory is located is just one spot in the entire land that we are buying, and you want to charge us thirty million just for you to relocate?”
Fatty Frank was stunned. “What? What thirty million? We agreed on
three million!”
Then, he had a look at the contract and realized what was going on. He roared at Connor, “You b*stard! You raised the price tenfold?”
Connor grinned wickedly. He signaled the men behind him and said, ” Yeah. It’s just one tiny spot, but my men have taken good care of the land for you guys for so long. It’s only fair for me to charge some extra fees. Thirty million is just nice.”
He then grabbed the contract from Andrius and shoved it into Fatty Frank’s hand. “Fatty, sign it. Don’t force me to be rough.”
3.3
With that, the men behind Connor cracked their fingers and exercised their necks. The cracking of finger joints echoed in the room.
The men then took a step forward together.
Thud!
The unified thuds made, Fatty Frank clench his muscles nervously. If he refused, he would have to face the buff men’s fists.
“Boss, what should we do now?” Fatty Frank swallowed nervously and looked at Andrius.
“It’s easy.”
Andrius’ body shifted all of a sudden.
Connor cackled in disdain. “Punk, I hired all these elite fighters. Any
one of them can…”
“Ugh!”
