Chapter 205
The scooter was parked on the curb.
Andrius and Halle got down together, flooring the guard at the gate.
Their missus had gone out to hide for a few days but came back home on a scooter….
How… unique.
He could not help but take a look at Andrius again, wondering what kind of man could make the missus
so devoted. However, after checking him out, he felt even worse.
The man looked completely plain and ordinary…
Well, maybe it was just fate.
Halle took Andrius into the villa, walking into the hall while holding his arm.
There were many people in the hall.
Andrius was able to quickly deduce their identities based on what Halle told her along the way.
The middle–aged man sitting on the sofa, with a square face and dignified look, should be Halle’s father, Ford Fullberry.
As for the woman sitting next to him, although she wore cosmetics, it was still hard to hide the traces of time. She should be Halle’s mother, Jennifer Lowe.
Across them was a young man wearing branded clothes. He had greasy combed hair, and his young face was pasty and white as he sat there contentedly. He occasionally raised his wrist from time to time, revealing his Vacheron Constantin watch.
That should be the nouveau riche man after Halle, Jude Carver.
As Andrius scanned them, they also scrutinized him.
Ford saw at a glance that Halle had her hand around Andrius‘ arm, and his expression suddenly darkened. He looked at Halle and asked rudely, “Who is he, Halle?”
Halle led Andrius forward. “Dad, this is my boyfriend, Andrius Moonshade.”
Boyfriend?
Ford instantly flew into a rage when he heard that word. He stood up and pounded the table. “What did you just say? He’s your boyfriend? I don’t approve! Look at him. How is he a match for you?
Jude was also very displeased upon seeing Andrius.
However, he instantly felt happy when he saw Ford’s attitude, and said hypocritically, “Don’t be angry, Uncle Ford. After all, Halle is still young and naive. She doesn’t know the dangers of society and is easily. deceived by bad people.
“When she sees his essence clearly, then she’ll naturally understand your good intentions.”
He sized Andrius up as he said this, obviously taking shots at Andrius.
Then, he rolled up his sleeves to expose his Vacheron Constantin watch more thoroughly. He came up to Andrius, extended his hand, and said, “Hello, Mr. Moonshade. I’m Halle’s fiance.”
Fiance…
He was showing off.
Andrius smiled faintly and shook Jude’s hand.
Jude put on a friendly smile and said warmly, “Since you’re Halle’s friend, you’re my friend too. I’ll Introduce myself briefly.”
Jude’s words were full of pride. “My father is Zack Carver, the chairman of Carver Enterprises. My family is involved in real estate. Our yearly profit Is… around 70 to 80 million!”
70 to 80 million a year!
After years of accumulation, the Carver family now had more than a billion worth of assets, and it was still increasing in value.
Ford and Jennifer could not help but smile. They looked at Jude again. He was generous and acted appropriately. He was the ideal son–in–law!
“I wonder…”
As Jude said this, he smiled thoughtfully and looked at Andrius‘ face. “Where is your family from, Andrius? What kind of business are they involved with? How much is their annual income?”
Andrius said casually, “I was born in a small mountain area in the west, and they’re not involved in business. I don’t know how much our annual income is.
Those were all the truth.
“Hehe…” Jude immediately smiled disdainfully. “Andrius, if that’s what your family is like, then I’ll have to say something about you.
“You come from such a humble background, but you still want to pursue Halle. It’s like… like aiming for the moon. Like an ugly man trying to marry a beautiful woman!”
He was undoubtedly mocking Andrius.
Halle immediately retorted, “Having a humble background doesn’t mean his achievements are humble too. I like that he’s able to stand up step by step with his own ability. He’s a real man!”
As she spoke, she deliberately tightened her grip around Andrius‘ arm and looked at Jude with disdain. Unlike a certain someone… Just because his family has a little money, he only knows how to brag all day. and wears so much makeup that he doesn’t even look like a man anymore. He’s nothing!”
Jude instantly flushed all the way to his neck from anger.
However, since he had a lot of powder on his face, he just looked like he was glowing. It was really no different from a lady.
“How could you say that, Halle?” Ford lectured with a straight face, “Jude is brave for trying a new style. I think that’s a good thing.”

Chapter 206
Halle could not help but roll her eyes.
Jude quickly recovered his composure and pretended not to mind, saying, “It’s okay, Uncle Ford. I’m willing to change into whatever type Halle likes.”
This child.
How sensible and infatuated he was..
Ford and Jennifer felt increasingly satisfied.
“It’s getting late.”
Jude fiddled with his Vacheron Constantin and said generously, “Uncle Ford, Aunty Jennifer, I’ve booked a table at the Royal Dragon. Let’s head there first.”
The Royal Dragon!
That was a six–star hotel!
“Yes, yes!” Ford agreed with a wide smile. “Thank you, Jude.”
At the Royal Dragon, the group walked into a private room.
Jennifer looked around and praised the hotel. “This six–star hotel is really well decorated. It’s so luxurious and extravagant…”
As she spoke, a young man came in their direction.
Jennifer did not notice him at all and bumped into him when she turned around. She instantly snapped, Watch where you’re going. You’re still young, yet your eyes are already failing you?”
The young man’s name was Calvin West. He was the nephew of Jason West, the owner of the Royal Dragon.
In the Royal Dragon, he was always the bully. Now that Jennifer scolded him, he could not stand it and yelled arrogantly, “I think you’re the blind one here! The path is so wide, but you still bumped into me… If your eyeballs are that useless, then you should just feed them to the dogs instead!”
Jennifer became furious on the spot. “You little brat! Who do you think you’re talking to? Do you know who my son–in–law is?
“He’s the son of Zack Carver, the chairman of Carver Enterprises. Why don’t you try yelling at me again?”
Zack Carver?
Calvin had never heard of that name before.
When he saw how arrogant Jennifer was, he laughed and ignored her, preparing to call security to teach her a lesson. However, the moment he took out his phone, he saw Andrius from the corner of his eye and instantly froze..
W–why was this big shot here?
Calvin peered closely.
Yes, it was definitely him.
The Wolf King!
Calvin broke into a cold sweat and Immediately bowed and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was blind and bumped into you… Please forgive me!”
As he spoke, he bowed incessantly to Jennifer, extremely fearful.
Jennifer did not expect Jude’s name to be so effective and suddenly became even more arrogant. She lectured, “Keep your eyes open in the future. Don’t stay here and affect my mood. Scram.”
Calvin quickly said, “Yes, yes, yes, I’ll go now. I’ll go!”
Then, he fled with his tail between his legs..
Jennifer looked at his fleeing back and snorted. “Who does he think he is? How dare he act so brashly in front of me?”
Her eyes were lit up with satisfaction. Her gaze when she looked at Jude became even more satisfied.” Thank you, Jude. If I had to rely on a certain someone who was born in the mountains, I’m afraid I would’ve been bullied today…”
What a thing to say.
She was making insinuations.
Jude glanced at Andrius and said proudly, “I’m not boasting, Aunt Jennifer, but the Carver family really is quite influential in Sumeria. No matter where you are, everything will go well as long as you mention that my father is Zack Carver.”
“Yes, that’s true…” Jennifer echoed. Her gaze toward Andrius became even more disdainful.
After Calvin left, he went straight to the chairman of the Royal Dragon, his uncle Jason, and told him everything that happened.
“What did you say?” Jason was shocked and asked in disbelief, “The Wolf King came to the Royal Dragon?”
“Yes!” Calvin gulped down his saliva, still in trepidation. “I saw him clearly. He was the Wolf King!”
“The Wolf King actually came… The Wolf King…”
Jason instantly felt overwhelmed.
After pacing back and forth in the office for a moment, he had an idea. “Since the Wolf King decided to grace the Royal Dragon with his presence, then it’ll be too unappreciative if I don’t give him a warm welcome.
“Calvin, go get the wine in my safe… Never mind. I’ll go myself!”

Chapter 207
In the room.
“Uncle Ford and Aunty Jennifer, please have a seat.”
After the scene earlier, Jude felt incredibly smug. He entered the door and started to act very
magnanimously with Ford and the others.
Ford and Jennifer exchanged a look and sat next to each other at the round table.
If Jude sat across them, then Halle only had two seats left to choose from. She had to sit either on his left or his right. It was quite near regardless, thus in a way, they were quite thoughtful.
Just then…
“Andrius, sit here!”
Halle pressed Andrius to sit down in the spot across from her parents. It was the seat that they originally wanted to save for Jude.
Now, Halle and Jude sandwiching Andrius.
Ford and Jennifer’s expressions instantly darkened.
“What is up with you today, Halle?”
“Halle, if you let him sit there, then where will Jude sit?”
The two questioned in dissatisfaction.
Halle sat down on Andrius‘ left and pointed to his right, saying firmly, “Can’t he just sit there?”
Jude also had an unpleasant expression. However, he could not blame Halle for this matter, so he pretended to be generous and said, “Uncle Ford and Aunt Jennifer, don’t blame Halle. In recent years, I’ve traveled all over the country and seen many things. Sitting together doesn’t mean anything.”
Jennifer’s eyes instantly lit up, and she asked curiously, “Jude, tell me about where you’ve been these years. I want to hear all about it.”
“Ahem…” Jude cleared his throat, looking slightly more smug. “It’s a long list, Aunt Jennifer, but if you really want to know, then I’ll summarize.”
As Jennifer and Ford perked up their ears, Halle pursed her lips in exasperation.
“After graduating from high school, my dad sent me to Harvard on the other side of the world. My grades there were okay. I managed to get a scholarship every year. Then, I got my master’s degree and came back two years ago.”
Jennifer gasped. “Jude, I didn’t expect you to be a postgraduate. You hid that fact quite well.”
Ford nodded. “Jude is a genuine talent.”
“It’s nothing much.” Jude waved his hand seemingly casually, but he was actually filled with pride. “After coming back, I went from north to south, then west to east. I explored around before returning to Sumeria.
“First, I worked as a project manager at Denzel Corporation. Then, I worked as a project director at Sollemne Group.
“I plan to train for two more years, then go back to my family’s company and take over the family business. My dad is getting older and always asks me to share some of his load,” Jude spoke eloquently.
Ford nodded continuously and praised, “Zack must be overjoyed to have an exceptional son like you.” Jennifer was all smiles. “Who wouldn’t like a child like Jude?”
“You flatter me, Uncle and Aunt.” Jude became even more smug and suddenly looked at Andrius. “Mr. Moonshade, I wonder what rich experience you’ve been through in recent years. How is your career going?
“You were from the western mountains… Pig rearing seems to be quite popular in recent years. Have you tried that before?”
Jude’s words were full of ridicule.
Andrius replied casually, “I’ve never reared pigs, and I’m not interested to.”
“Tsk…” Jude clicked his tongue and said teasingly, “Mr. Moonshade, raising pigs is also a way to make money. Don’t feel so repulsed by it. Look at yourself… You have no education and no family background. Why are you looking down on rearing pigs? There’s nothing shameful about earning money!”
Andrius could not be bothered to pay attention to him and simply stopped talking.
“Men have to put their career first.” Jennifer glanced at Andrius, her tone full of insinuations and disdain.” Halle, don’t find someone who only knows how to take and not give. You’ll regret it in the future!”
Ford also echoed, “The most shameful thing for a man is when he relies on his woman but accomplishes nothing by himself. Appearances and flowery words are useless since they can’t put food on the table! A career is the most important.”
Their words were full of contempt for Andrius.
As Andrius listened to them, he became curious and carefully thought about it. He remembered a particular incident.
He was carrying out a mission to eliminate a terrorist organization and accidentally rescued a princess that the terrorists kidnapped. The princess had later gifted him an oil field.
Andrius had no time to deal with it, so he left it to them to develop, and they transferred him the profits
every year.
Chapter 208
He remembered another Incident.
A prince had a strange disease that baffled famous doctors from all around the world. Helpless, he came to Metropolis as his final stop. Andrius Just so happened to be there at that time and saved him.
After the prince went back, he gave Andrius an island.
Andrius had no time to deal with it, so he left it to them to develop, and they transferred him the profits.
every year.
These two things combined could bring Andrius hundreds of billions in income every year.
If he included his spoils on the Western front and the gifts from the rich and powerful who wanted to please him, which included but were not limited to companies, shares, and luxury items…
The list was endless. It would amount to trillions if he added them all up.
“Uncle Ford and Aunt Jennifer, doing business is not that simple.” Jude said proudly, “Excellent resources and a vast network are necessary. Those are the fundamentals. Look…
“My father knows the owner of the Royal Dragon, so they will show respect to the Carvers. That is a kind of resource.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door and came in. It was the owner of the Royal Dragon, Jason West, personally coming in with a tray.
On the tray were two bottles of expensive wine.
“Wolf…” Jason was just about to speak when Andrius stopped him with a look.
He was instantly startled and quickly changed his words. “Distinguished guests, I’m the chairman of the Royal Dragon. My name is Jason West. Here are two specially–ordered bottles of Romanee Conti. Please enjoy them!”
He placed the wine between Jude and Andrius, and said respectfully, “I hope you enjoy your meal.”
He left as quickly as he came. When he went out, he also took special care to close the door without it making a single sound.
Ford and Jennifer were stunned.
The owner of the Royal Dragon personally delivered wine… What was this? It was simply unimaginable.
“Jude, your family reputation is amazing. Even the chairman personally sent the wine over.” Jennifer naturally attributed this matter to Jude, looking at him the same way a mother would look at her son–in- law. The more she looked, the more satisfied she felt.
Ford already decided in his heart that after going back, he would work on Halle and settle the marriage between the two.
“Mr. Moonshade…”
When Jude opened the wine, he deliberately did not pour Andrius a glass and said teasingly, “I heard that people from the mountains can’t drink high–class wine like this because it’ll cause diarrhea, so I won’t pour it for you.”
Andrius chuckled.
It was true that he could not drink red wine. He only liked to drink booze from the military district. That
was what real men drank.
Ding!
Andrius’s phone rang. He opened It and saw a message from Noir.
“Andy, Hansel Turner Is In Sumeria. He heard that you’re here and wants to meet you. What do you think?”
Hansel Turner was a famous financial tycoon in the country. He was a powerful figure in the financial world and had donated a lot of money to the Martyr Foundation. Andrius appreciated him for that.
“Sure. Where are you now? I’ll go over.”
Andrius did not want to stay here either, so he might as well go straight to meet Hansel. Only high–end talents who did good things for the nation’s soldiers were worth his time.
Noir soon sent him the address.
Andrius looked at it, stood up, and said, “Halle, I suddenly remembered that I have some business to attend to. I’ll be taking my leave.”
Then, he left without waiting for their reaction.
“Wait for me, Andrius!”
Halle had long been unhappy with Jude’s pretentiousness and immediately chased after him.
Jennifer’s expression instantly changed. “Halle, why are you chasing after an uncivilized man instead of having a proper meal with Jude?”
Bam!
What responded to her was Halle mercilessly slamming the private room door.
“That girl!” Ford was so angry that he was about to stand up and call Halle back.
“Don’t worry, Uncle Ford and Aunt Jennifer,” Jude coaxed them.
“Andrius obviously left because he was embarrassed by being compared to me in front of Halle. That’s, why he left in defeat. When Halle sees how unreliable he is, she’ll definitely quarrel with him and try to break up.”
He put on a confident smile as he said that.
Ford and Jennifer were stunned before understanding what Jude meant, and smiles appeared on their
faces.
It would be best if Halle took the initiative to break up with Andrius!

Chapter 209
Halle soon caught up to Andrius.
“Hey, why are you walking so fast?”
When she remembered how Andrius had looked at his phone in the room earlier, she joked, “Are you going out to meet a beauty?”
Andrius replied without turning around, “You’re right, I’m going to see someone.”
1
All kinds of feelings instantly erupted in Halle’s heart. She felt incredibly upset and asked, “Who is it that you have to visit personally?”
Andrius casually said, “Hansel Turner.”
“Who did you say?” Halle froze for half a second before exclaiming. Her voice was much louder than usual.
She looked Andrius‘ way and stared at him with her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. “You mean you’re going to meet Hansel Turner? T–the Hansel Turner who’s also known as the ‘Devil of Finance‘?
“Yes.” Andrius thought about it and corrected himself, “More accurately, he wants to see me, but I can’t tell him to come here, can I?”
Halle was completely stunned.
Hansel Turner…
He was a tycoon in the financial world. He was an existence comparable to a bellwether. A simple sentence from him was enough to make a person earn a fortune of money.
Now, that person wanted to see Andrius!
That was simply unbelievable. It was jaw–dropping.
Halle became increasingly curious about Andrius‘ true identity.
However, the most important thing now was…
“Andrius…” Halle giggled and said, “Can you take me with you so I can see that financial tycoon?”
“No problem!” Andrius agreed easily.
“Yay!” Halle jumped as thrilled as a child.
Inside the room, Ford, Jennifer, and Jude had a wonderful time drinking together. They soon finished the
two bottles of Romanee Conti.
“Uncle Ford and Aunt Jennifer, have you eaten and drunk your fill?” Jude was high–spirited and very proud.
Not only did he get to trample on Andrius today, but he also managed to embarrass someone at the Royal Dragon, and the chairman himself came personally to deliver wine. He was incredibly smug and prideful.
“I…” Jennifer subconsciously glanced at the empty Romanee Conti bottles.
It was her first time having such fine wine. She had looked it up online. The collection value of a specially- ordered Romanee Conti reached up to 1.38 million dollars a bottle.
Jennifer did not have enough but was too embarrassed to say so.
Jude saw this and Immediately said boldly, “Since you like this wine, I’ll have the owner send us two more bottles. Walter!”
As soon as he yelled, the manager that Jason instructed to stand nearby immediately pushed the door open. “How may I serve you, sir?”
Jude pointed to the Romanee Conti bottles and said, “This wine isn’t bad. Have your boss send over another two bottles.”
The manager immediately agreed. “Yes, sir. I’ll get to it immediately.”
Then, he went to Jason’s office.
“Sir, the guests in the room would like two more bottles!”
Jason’s expression instantly turned bitter. He had bought the Romanee Conti at a high price. In the past decade, he could only bring himself to finish one bottle.
This wine was specially ordered, so there was no circulation in the market at all. Although the collector’s value was only over one million, people who could own the bottle in the first place would not need a measly million…
No one would sell it.
It was only because the Wolf King visited that he had taken the two bottles out. He only had two remaining bottles.
But now…
“Alright.”
Jason gritted his teeth and took out the last two bottles from the safe, heading toward the room. He had no choice since the Wolf King liked it.
He soon reached the room.

Chapter 210
Jason found that the Wolf King was no longer there.
His heart suddenly felt uneasy. Did he neglect the Wolf King?
In an instant, cold sweat soaked the inside of his expensive shirt.
“You’re here.” Jude deliberately showed off his status, saying bossily, “Just leave the wine there. You can
go.”
He spoke as if he were the emperor of this room.
Jason forced a smile and pointed to Andrius‘ seat, asking uneasily, “Where did the gentleman who was sitting there go?”
“Him?”
Before Jude could answer, Ford said indifferently, “That piece of trash left. Don’t worry, he didn’t drink a drop of this wine. It won’t go to waste.”
He left?
Piece of trash?
Trash?!
How dare he call the Wolf King ‘trash“?
He even said that he would not let the Wolf King drink a single drop of wine with such conviction!
Smack!
Jason was shocked, angry, and afraid. He slapped Ford’s face without holding back at all. Then, he took the two la Romanee Conti bottles and left.
Everyone was astonished by that slap.
“H–how dare he hit me?!” Ford only reacted after a long time. He pointed at Jason’s back and said maliciously, “Jude, Jason is terribly insolent! How dare he hit me in front of you?! You must get justice for
me!”
“Exactly!” Jennifer was also furious. “Jude, Jason isn’t showing you any respect at all. He even took the wine away. You have to teach him a lesson!”
Jude was also angry.
Jason had slapped Ford in his room. He actually struck his future father–in–law which was the same as slapping Jude himself!
“Let’s go, Uncle Ford. I’ll get justice for you!”
Jude narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression cold as ice. He immediately stood up and got ready to go. to Jason for an explanation.
Ford and Jennifer also go up angrily.
Ding!
Just then, Jude’s phone vibrated. He took out his phone to glance at it, and his expression suddenly changed.
He became unusually excited. He was extremely thrilled.
Ford and Jennifer saw his expression but did not understand what happened. They were a little stunned.
Jude looked at the two and said, “Uncle Ford and Aunt Jennifer… Let’s talk about getting justice next time! I have something important to do now.”
The two looked at each other and hurriedly asked, “What do you mean, Jude?”
“The financial tycoon, Hansel Turner, has come to Sumeria Jude’s eyes shone brightly. “I’ll see if I can find a way to meet him and form a good relationship.
Hansel Turner…
Ford and Jennifer were immediately stunned. He was a legendary figure. He was famous throughout Sumeria’s financial circle.
Meeting him…
The two did not even dare to think about something that amazing before, not even in their dreams.
“You’re right, Jude!” Ford looked at Jude with eyes full of praise. “Meeting Mr. Turner is very important. Getting justice? We can just forget about that!”
Jennifer had a smile on her face, asking expectantly, “Jude, can Ford and I go with you?”
Ford also looked eager.
“No problem!” Jude patted his chest.
The couple instantly beamed.
Then, the three of them left the room together and got ready to meet a true master.
However, as soon as they arrived at the door….
The waiter stopped them. “Sir, you haven’t paid the bill yet.”
