Fatty Frank and the security guards arrived at the port. They then escorted the machines out. Behind his car were a dozen heavy-duty trucks. The cargo they carried was tied and wrapped properly, thus no one could see what they were carrying. The cargo the heavy-duty trucks carried were the machines that New Moon Corporation needed to start the project. For insurance purposes, Andrius was also with the team. He was Fatty Frank’s mental support. Fatty Frank was fully prepared for this assignment as well. After all, he did not want to make another terrible mistake. He would be embarrassed if he continued to make mistakes, and it would be better for him to give up on himself. Swoosh! Halfway through the delivery, the motorcade entered a secluded spot, and then a large number of men jumped out from both sides, stopping and surrounding all the cars and trucks. They were armed with knives, baseball bats, and machetes. Some even had guns. They were all Baldy Lewis’ men. After h
Baldy Lewis was upset. Right when he was about to voice his threats further, he had a glimpse of inside the truck. What he saw scared him to the point that he fell on his backside and even wet his pants. Inside the truck were fully armed soldiers, pointing their guns at Baldy Lewis and his men. All the soldiers were waiting for a single order to shoot Baldy Lewis and his men to death. Baldy Lewis and his men were horrified. They had been the gangsters around the area, bullying and oppressing the unlucky ones who trespassed their turf, but when they faced the fully armed elite soldiers, they were like mice running into a cat. They were so horrified that they could not even think properly. Their expression turned bitter, and they swallowed in fear, but their throats were extremely dry to the extent that it hurt when they moved their throat muscles. Baldy Lewis’ stomach hurt. If he had listened to Jamire, he would not have to face these soldiers. It was all Solomon’s fault
Andrius had spoken many famous quotes back at the Western Frontline. One of them would be ‘never lose an inch of land, never leave a man behind.’ He had said that when Severus was surrounded by a thousand enemy soldiers while having run out of ammo. Severus had been in a desperate situation, and he and his team had already given up. It was Andrius who had stepped up and volunteered to retrieve his brother-in-arms. He led the charge into the enemy and saved Severus, bringing him and his team back to the base safely. He then taught Severus martial arts and the tactics of war with reservations. To Severus, Andrius was like a God or a parent, someone whom he would serve for his entire life and pledge his loyalty to. When he finally saw Andrius after a while, he could not hold back his excitement. “Get up first, Severus.” Andrius clearly remembered when he left the Western Frontline, Severus was serving at an important mountain pass, in charge of defense. He asked, “Why aren
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
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 voi
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 go
“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
“Hey, punk!” Densel went up to Andrius with a grim expression. He glared at Andrius and yelled, “If you don’t give me a satisfying answer today, you won’t even rest in peace when you have your funeral in three days!” Andrius scoffed. “Answer?” He sized Densel up from top to bottom. He grunted coldly and asked, “You are the one who really should give me a satisfying answer. Tell me, what is up with the machines given to New Moon Corporation?” Densel said coldly, “Your machines did not meet the safety requirements. They contain potential safety hazards, so they must be destroyed!” Andrius squinted, which was a dangerous sign. “The machines were produced by the military factory, and you are telling me they failed the safety requirements?” Densel scoffed. He added, “I don’t care where the machines are made. I call the shots for the safety inspections. If I say they failed, they failed!” Andrius finally knew what was going on. Densel was giving New Moon Corporation a hard
