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.
Only the Wolf King had what it takes to call the military governor ‘little rascal‘.
Then, Andrius picked up the badge from the tray and decorated it on Severus‘ chest.
Clap! Clap!
Thunderous applause sounded once again.
The whole event reached its climax, and it was a memorable scene.
After the applause slowed down and eventually stopped, Andrius looked at the VIP seats and said, “I want to take this chance to say a few things.”
He looked and sounded calm, but Anthony and the others were horrified.
It had finally arrived: the judgment Andrius had for them!
“The Hanshus. Randal Hanshu is a bully and a sexual predator; Wayman Hanshu abused his power and status and disregarded people’s life; Simon Hanshu formed his own private militia and colluded with foreign mercenaries, harming the country’s safety.
“The Hanshus‘ assets are to be confiscated. The rest of the family will be expelled from Sumeria and can never set foot in the city again for the rest of their lives.”
When Andrius announced the sentence, everyone’s eyes twitched helplessly.
No wonder Wayman’s death a few days ago made the headlines. Messing with the Wolf King was suicidal.
The Hanshus got what they deserved.
“The Hendersons…”
When the name was mentioned, Anthony, Suletta, and the rest of the Hendersons trembled. Their pupils shrank in fear.
Andrius looked at the Hendersons, especially Anthony and Suletta. He wore a
meaningful smile on his face.
“Speaking of the Hendersons, I saved Anthony Henderson’s life, but… he tried to take mine.”
He shook his head as he chuckled.
Then, he bellowed, “The Hendersons bit the hand that saved them, disrupted the
market’s order, and attempted on a crucial military personnel’s life… I hereby announce…”
Andrius glared at the Hendersons.
Thump! Thump!
Starting from Anthony and Suletta, the Hendersons got down on their knees immediately.
“An-… Wolf King!” Anthony was torn apart, horrified. He kowtowed repeatedly and apologized, “It’s my fault, it’s my fault… Please spare us! Spare the Hendersons. Wolf King, I am willing to pay whatever price to redeem myself, please…”
Chapter 176
“Any price?”
Andrius peered down at Anthony calmly, seeming emotionless. “Anthony Henderson, you are the richest man in Sumeria, so I’ll show you some respect.”
He was about to deliver the ultimatum.
Anthony looked up at Andrius, horrified, but was forced to accept it.
Behind Anthony, Suletta was on her knees. Her hair was messed up and her face was pale, and when she heard the final ultimatum, she quivered as well.
She felt inferior and despair after what happened. Her arrogance and pride were nowhere to be found.
“What goes around, comes around,” Andrius said. “Anthony Henderson, you… retire. Don’t make me do it for you, or else the Hendersons will be turned upside down.”
should
Although Andrius spoke lightly, his words held immense weight. Those who heard him could not help but feel powerless because no one doubted his authority and power.
The Hendersons, the richest family in Sumeria, were worshipped and chased after by many, yet their future was stripped away by a single sentence from the Wolf King.
Anthony’s ambitions, as well as his dream to become the richest in the country, shattered into a million pieces and faded into darkness.
“What’s wrong? Don’t want to?” Andrius noticed Anthony’s silence, and his became frosty.
gaze
“I… I’ll make it happen right away!” Anthony squeezed those words out of his clenched teeth. It felt like speaking those words drained all his energy.
Then, blood gushed from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground, falling unconscious.
Suletta blacked out as well.
“As for you all…” Andrius then looked at the other dignitaries, which caused them to shiver.
“The families and companies who used to target or still targeting New Moon Corporation or the Crestfalls…” Andrius‘ expression turned cold. “You know what you should do. Don’t think of fooling me, or I will come after you myself.”
Thump!
Bump!
A number of the dignitaries collapsed to the ground, looking horrified.
“Wolf King, I’m wrong!”
“Wolf King, please spare me!”
“I’ll make amends right away!”
“Wolf King…”
The families and companies who sided with the Hendersons or the Hanshus were horrified. They knelt on the ground and pleaded.
Some cowardly ones even peed their pants.
Even the Hendersons and the Hanshus dared not defy the Wolf King’s order, let alone the smaller families. Other than begging or waiting for the end, they could not do anything else.
For a moment there, the solemn inauguration ceremony was filled with pleading, sobbing, and wailing. The shouts and sobs were painful to the ears.
The inauguration ceremony ended soon after that.
Everyone knew that the arrival of the new military governor would shift things in the city, but not one expected it to be so soon and so sudden. It was so drastic that it caught everyone off guard.
The Hanshus had been rooted in Sumeria for many years, hence their influence and
power.
However, they were expelled by a single word from the Wolf King.
The Hendersons were a titan in the city, and no one dared to defy them until now, only giving reverence and respect.
However, they were mere ants in front of the Wolf King, maybe bugs slightly bigger
than ants.
The hour–long inauguration ceremony completely shifted things around in the city that had not seen changes for the past 30 years.
The news spread like wildfire across the city, but only through word of mouth.
Marcus was afraid that Andrius‘ identity would be leaked, so all the reporters were sent home early.
The equipment was confiscated for checking and would be returned after they deleted everything regarding the Wolf King.
Everything about Andrius was erased or kept safe within the city council.
Luna had no idea what just happened.
She still believed that the end was near for New Moon Corporation and her family. She drank until she got inebriated and stayed overnight at Halle’s place.
She was still sleeping when the sun rose,
Halle was a little better when she woke up around ten o’clock. When she picked up her phone, countless news flooded her timeline.
The Hanshus were expelled, and the Hendersons were forced to retire. The news took her by storm and woke her up instantly.
She woke Luna up immediately and showed her the news. “Luna, wake up! Something huge has happened! This is huge! Things are changing in Sumeria!”
Luna said with a muffled voice, “No matter how big it is, it has nothing to do with me. The Crestfalls are being targeted. Time is running out…”
“No!” Halle stopped her and clicked on the news. She put her phone in front of Luna’s eyes. “Look, the Hendersons and the Hanshus are gone!”
“Gone, so what…” Luna did not listen to her friend properly, she simply answered without even thinking.
When her mind comprehended the meaning of the headlines, she woke up instantly.” Halle, what did you say? The Hendersons and the Hanshus are gone?!”
“Look!” Halle moved the phone closer to her face.
Luna went through the news and her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief. “The Hanshus are gone just like that?
“The Hendersons, the richest family, is retiring?”
The news shook Luna. She became drunk for one night, and things changed in Sumeria; it was such a huge change that it felt like a massive earthquake.
Many thoughts flooded her head instantly.
With the two big families gone, the resources they owned and the market share they possessed would be left idle. It would be a golden opportunity! A great shift in the game that only happened once in a century!
This might be the chance for New Moon Corporation to rise to new heights.
Luna’s eyes fluttered. Excited, she said, “Halle, this is a golden opportunity for New Moon Corporation! I have to go back to the office and see what I can do. I’ll drink with you next time!”
Then, Luna jumped out of bed, grabbed her purse, and ran off with her jacket before Halle could even react.
The empty market shares must be seized first. Luna was racing with time to seize the upper hand in this new battle.

Now, Anthony was being redone what the inauguration ceremony of the new military governin, forced to retten, way to show himself again.
How did Andrius know?
Was he connected to the new military governor somehow?
Or was her an acquaintance of the Wolf King?
Chapter 177
Back at New Moon Corporation, Luna called Andrius right away and asked him to come in immediately.
A while later, Andrius entered.
“Andrius…” Luna stared at him with her beautiful eyes, attempting to see through his thoughts.
“What do you know about the Hendersons? You told me that Anthony Henderson won’t be hopping around for long, and now he’s been reckoned with by the Wolf King at the inauguration ceremony. Even the Hanshus were expelled by the Wolf King. Do you…” Luna added a hint of prying in her tone and asked, “know the new military governor or the Wolf King?”
Andrius had an extra glance at her when he heard her question.
It was rare for the woman to react this smartly. She was able to extend her thoughts further now, but it was a secret that he could not tell.
Andrius avoided the topic and simply said, “The Wolf King dealt with them because they pissed him off.”
“They pissed the Wolf King off?” Luna failed to understand and voiced her concerns right away, “The Hendersons and the Hanshus are looking to fawn upon the Wolf King. How could they have pissed him off?”
Andrius explained slowly, “They are trying to fawn upon the Wolf King alright, but what they did triggered the Wolf King, so of course, he’s pissed.”
The more Luna listened to his explanation, the more confused she was. Her tiny brain could not react in time. She asked, “How did they trigger the Wolf King?”
Andrius sighed.
Luna was smarter than before but not by much, just a tiny bit.
“Think about it. What did the Hanshus do?”
Before Luna could answer, Andrius continued, “They sabotaged the Valiant Institute project and killed a few veterans. The Wolf King cherished each and every soldier, so the Hanshus dug their own graves.”
Luna was hit with a sudden realization. It made sense.
She continued, “What about the Hendersons? What about Anthony Henderson?”
“The Hendersons were worse.” Andrius continued, “The Wolf King actually saved Anthony before, but Anthony insulted him with money, so how could that end well for
him?”
LIL
Luna instantly understood the truth behind the news.
The Wolf King saved people out of duty and responsibility because he cared about the people of this country.
Anthony was so wealthy that he could only see the value in people, therefore he tried to insult the Wolf King with money. He got what he deserved.
The Wolf King took care of the two big families at once.
“That’s why. The Hendersons and the Hanshus had pissed off the Wolf King a long time ago. The Wolf King only acted now because he doesn’t take them seriously. That’s why he used this inauguration ceremony to announce his verdict.”
Luna’s doubts were all cleared.
The Hendersons and Hanshus had it coming.
She thought that Andrius was somehow related, but now it seemed like he was not involved.
However, Luna still reminded him, “Andrius, I still have to talk about your attitude. Don’t resolve matters with violence. Think with your head, not act with your fists. Your fists will only make things worse, understand?
“Look at how much trouble you brought to our family. If it wasn’t for the Wolf King taking care of the Hendersons and the Hanshus at this particular time, we would’ve been done for. We can’t just wait for the Wolf King to clean up your mess after you beat someone up, can we? You won’t be that lucky every time, and New Moon Corporation cannot go through that again. You get me?”
Andrius looked at her slightly exhausted face and hummed a reply.
Chapter 178
Luna was immune to his frivolous attitude, so she simply sent him on his way. “You can go back now.”
Andrius returned to Team Five’s office.
“Boss, do
you
know about the Wolf King?” Fatty Frank ran over to him when he came back. His eyes gleamed.
“Mm–hmm.” Andrius nodded.
“The Wolf King is freaking awesome!” Fatty Frank looked impressed. “If I can meet him in person, I would clean his shoes and I’d still be happy!”
“The Wolf King is amazing! I heard that he showed up frightened the Hendersons and the young ones to the core. They all collapsed on the ground,” Angel said with infatuation as she put her hands together. “If I can meet him, I would bear his babies.”
“Hmph! There are a ton of women who want to bear the Wolf King’s babies. Get in line!”
“Yeah! Stop dreaming!”
The other scoffed at her.
Andrius simply laughed it off. He then said, “If you guys have the time to think about this, why don’t you guys think about how to help the company secure the idle resources left behind by the Hendersons and the Hanshus? Think of a way to help the company to reach the top.
“Until then, your status and value will surge as well.”
The group was dispirited when they heard Andrius.
“Even with the Hendersons and Hanshus gone, there’s still the Timberlands.”
“They might be working with us, but they won’t just stand back and let us chew on such a big piece of meat,” Fatty Frank shook his head, expressing his denial on the
matter.
Angel added, “Even if the Timberlands are willing to give us the chance, our competitor, Castlerock Corporation, won’t let us go that easy as well. Solomon Stormbrew won’t hand over the pie with both hands.”
Solomon of Castlerock Corporation.
He would be next on the list.
Andrius smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Castlerock Corporation’s days are numbered as well.
2/2
“Boss…” Fatty Frank looked at Andrius and asked, “Did you get some kind of secret news or something similar?”
He thought of how mysterious Andrius worked and the miracles he caused, hence the question.
“Just do your work properly.” Andrius rolled his eyes at Fatty Frank. “Don’t waste your energy thinking about nonsense.”
“Oh…”
Meanwhile at Castlerock Corporation, when Solomon learned that the Wolf King had dealt with the Hendersons and Hanshus, he was terrified,
The Hanshus were one of the big three families in Sumeria while the Hendersons were the richest family in Sumeria.
Why would the Wolf King deal with them right when they were going after the Crestfalls?
Could the Wolf King be related to the Crestfalls?
The thought shocked Solomon.
He had been targeting Luna, the Crestfalls, and New Moon Corporation way longer than the Hendersons and Hanshus, and if the Wolf King knew about it, he would not make it out alive.
Solomon drowned in fear, but he was a man who had seen and experienced many things. He was able to calm himself down.
It had been some time since the inauguration ceremony, and the Wolf King still has not come to him.
Maybe it was purely coincidence that the Henderson and the Hanshus were dealt with. Solomon could not be sure.
Some thoughts later, he bit the bullet and dialed a number on his phone.
The call got through.
“Sir…”
Solomon stood by the window with his head lowered, his voice sounding revered and scared. “The mission failed. I need your support.”
“You can’t even complete your mission? You useless trash!” A frosty voice came from the other end of the call.
Solomon’s neck shrank. He looked timid as a little girl and dared not say a word. “I am in Sumeria. Get your ass here, right now!”
Chapter 179
Rising Dragon Hotel was another lavishing five–star hotel located in the center of the city.
However, the entire hotel was bought out by someone, and there were armed guards on duty at the entrance.
When Solomon tried to enter, he was stopped by the security guards.
“What are you doing here?”
One glance from the security guard gave Solomon the chills because the security guard looked fierce.
Solomon immediately said, “I am Solomon Stormbrew. Young Master Crestfall wants to see me.”
The security guard spoke into the walkie–talkie. After he got orders from the higher- ups, he cleared Solomon for entry. “Go in.”
Solomon went into the hotel.
A few steps later, another security guard came over.
“Solomon Stormbrew? Come with me.”
Solomon followed the security guard into the elevator without saying a word.
A while later, they arrived at the highest floor. There were only two people there.
One was a girl in slovenly clothes, and the other was the Young Master Crestfall that Solomon mentioned. The man wore a flowery shirt with beach pants and slippers, seemingly in a vacation mood. The slippers he wore were not just any slippers. They were designed by Sterm Studio and they had gold and diamonds embedded in it. The price was ridiculously high.
He was the man behind Solomon, Cain Crestfall, from the capital.
A long time ago, Belarus and Cain’s grandfather, Idris, fought for the head position of the Crestfalls.
Belarus lost and was expelled from the family. His name was taken off the genealogy book and was forced to move to Sumeria.
Cain was actually Luna’s cousin, but he never accepted her as her cousin. Judging from how he ordered Solomon to kill Luna, she was more of an enemy to him than family.
Cain turned his back on Solomon and was peering down at the city.
The girl got up and left after Solomon entered.
“Young Master Crestfall…” Solomon called him before he knelt down with a thud.
Horrified, he said, “I am sorry for my incompetence. I was unable to complete the mission you assigned me. Please punish…”
Thunk!
Cain turned around and kicked Solomon on the head. “You piece of useless sh*t! Why should I have someone as useless as you to work for me?”
He kicked Solomon a few more times.
Solomon’s face and head were swollen, but he dared not fight back and continued to remain timid.
After lashing out at Solomon, Cain said coldly, “Tell me what happened.”
Solomon told Cain what happened recently.
“After Andrius Moonshade came to the city, everything I tried to do to New Moon Corporation was mitigated.
“Jamire was arrested, and Connor was defeated. I even hired hitmen to take her life, but Andrius killed them all in front of me. That’s not the end. I went to the Hanshus for help, one of the original big three, but… the master of the family died. The old master is comatose, and now the Hanshus are being expelled…”
Solomon’s voice trembled in fear as he continued. His forehead was covered with sweat. “Even the Hendersons, who had given the word that they are going after the Crestfalls, were taken care of by the Wolf King at the inauguration ceremony.
“I highly suspect that Andrius Moonshade is related to the Wolf King.”
Solomon then carefully looked up at Cain.
Cain kicked him again and said with disdain, “What is in that head of yours? Dogsh*t?! Can’t you use it for once? If Andrius Moonshade is really related to the Wolf King, he would have helped Luna to become the strongest family in the city. Why are they still a second to the third–tier family?”
Solomon was speechless. It was the one thing that baffled him.
“Andrius…” Cain scoffed in disdain and continued, “He’s good alright, but there’s no way he is related to the Wolf King.”
He was certain because he came back to Sumeria from the capital because of the Wolf King.
Chapter 180
Unfortunately, he was late and when he arrived, the ceremony was already over. He did not get the chance to see the Wolf King.
On top of that, he contacted his insider for news on the Wolf King, and in order to authenticate the news he got, he even contacted multiple parties.
He got the same answer from everyone: the Wolf King had left Sumeria. Therefore, he was certain that Andrius was not the Wolf King.
Unbeknownst to Cain, when the ceremony was over, Marcus informed everyone not to leak news about the Wolf King.
The Wolf King’s authoritative dominance was branded in everyone’s mind, so no one dared to defy Marcus‘ order. Everyone kept their mouths sealed.
“T–then, Young Master Crestfall, what are we going to do?” Solomon asked.
Cain glared at him and said coldly, “I will deal with the Crestfalls in Sumeria myself. Capture Luna first. I want to show them I mean business.”
Back at New Moon Corporation, it was time to clock out. Andrius walked out of the office after clocking out.
Right after he left, Cain came with his elite bodyguards, all armed with weapons.
“W–what are you people doing?”
The company’s security guard tried to stop them.
Slap!
Cain’s bodyguard stepped up, slapped the security guard, and kicked him away. He roared, “Get the hell out of the way!”
The other security guards realized that the situation had gotten worse. They all threw themselves at Cain and his bodyguards, but Cain’s bodyguards knocked them all out easily.
In less than a minute, all the security guards were unconscious.
Cain led his men in and headed to Luna’s office.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” Athena stood in Cain’s way.
“Get her,” Cain said.
Seven to eight bodyguards darted forward immediately.
Athena was strong, but being overwhelmed by numbers put her at a disadvantage. She was beaten up heavily and knocked down to the floor with blood on her face. She was completely incapacitated.

“Y–you…”
Luna heard the commotion and came out for a look. She was shocked and furious at the same time. “Cain?! We’ve left the capital and moved to Sumeria, why are you still on to us? Why are you doing this to us?”
Her chest heaved strongly as she roared angrily at Cain.
“Because…” Cain went up to her and said viciously, “Your family in Sumeria is destined to be trampled by my foot! I can violate you and your family however I want!”
Luna’s expression shifted.
Before she could say a word, Cain bellowed, “Take her away.”
Two bodyguards came over and seized Luna.
“You b*stards! Let go of Luna!”
Fatty Frank came by when he heard the commotion. He and the others from Team Five stood in front of Cain.
“Luna…” Cain scoffed coldly. He sneered, “Your company is really jumbled up with a bunch of good–for–nothing nonsense. Get them!”
The last part was an order for his bodyguards.
The bodyguards dashed forward and started to beat Fatty Frank and the others up.
Fatty Frank and the others were witty and slick, but they were no match for professionally trained bodyguards armed with real weapons.
Fatty Frank was beaten up severely.
After they were all knocked out, Cain brought Luna away.
Fatty Frank realized the gravity of the situation. He pulled his phone out and called Andrius immediately.
