The old man was Bruce Timberland, the master of the Timberlands. The Timberlands were one of the strongest and most influential families in Sumeria. Other than the Hendersons, the Timberlands were probably the most powerful in the city, which fueled Bruce’s extreme arrogance. It was his arrogance that got him in trouble with someone even stronger than him, someone he could not afford to offend. Hitmen and assassins were sent to kill him every once in a while. Bruce lost a lot of his men in the conflict, so he hired Tiger as his bodyguard. There was a short period of peace, but after his enemy learned that he got Tiger as his bodyguard, they decided to send even more notorious assassins and ferocious hitmen for his life. Even Tiger was forced to take the matter seriously after learning who Bruce had offended. Tiger confessed that he had no confidence in protecting Bruce from the incoming attempts on his life. Bruce was horrified. He asked Tiger for a solution, and Tiger re
“But…” Bruce’s tone shifted. He looked at Sonia with a stern face and said, “Sonia, you were wrong to speak to him in that attitude as well. No matter how capable he is, you shouldn’t be rude to him. It’s disrespectful! If you see him next time, apologize!” Sonia was not overly bothered. She muttered in a small voice, “I don’t think he’s better than Master Tiger, but you want me to apologize… Is that even necessary…” “What did you say?” Bruce glared at her. “Nothing! Nothing!” …After Andrius left, he headed to Noir’s garage. As usual, Noir welcomed him with a case of beer and a box of cigarettes. “Boss, cigarette?” Andrius accepted it. The two of them sat down and chatted. “Wait a minute. I thought New Moon Corporation is that way. Why did you come from the other direction?” Noir asked as he pointed in the opposite direction. “Shouldn’t you have come from that way?” As the Black Wolf, Noir’s senses were sharp. Andrius took a sip of beer and told him what happe
A fierce battle broke out. The Timberlands were a big family, hence they had strong resources as well. In addition to Tiger’s assistance, they were able to defend themselves for quite some time. However, the enemies came prepared. Less than twenty minutes later, most of the security guards and sacrificial soldiers had died. “Master Timberland…” Tiger sighed. He was powerful, but the enemies overwhelmed him with numbers. He alone was not enough to fend the enemies off. “I’ll go engage them, and I will do whatever I can to keep you safe.” From the moment Tiger was hired, he was already prepared to fight to his death. It was the pride of the Wild Tiger from the army. “Master Tiger…” Bruce reacted with a heavy expression. “Please protect me.” Tiger charged forward into the enemies and engaged them. “Punk!” When the assassin leader saw Tiger, his eyes narrowed coldly. After all, Tiger had killed many of his men. “I have to admit you are quite strong. If you join us,
The assassin leader’s voice was loud and clear as he taunted Sonia. Vroom! Sonia answered the assassin leader’s torment with a roar of the engine. The car accelerated, leaving two streaks of light and smoke. Then, Sonia arrived at a corner, but that was not the most dangerous juncture. Through the side mirror, she saw the lights of a car coming into the corner as well. Swoosh! The headlights of the opposite car had entered Sonia’s sight. If she continued at the current speed, the two cars would crash, and she and her grandfather would die. Horrified, she spun the steering wheel the other way and rammed into the woods. Fwoosh! Bang!After going through some bushes and rocky paths, the car crashed into a tree. Sonia bumped her head on the steering wheel upon the impact, and her head grew dizzy. Fortunately, the bushes and rocky path on the way decelerated the car a lot, and Bruce had his seat belt on. The two of them were not heavily injured. Alas, the assassin
“Yo, bruh…” The assassin leader cackled and sneered, “You little sh*t! I didn’t know you were such an arrogant a*s! Come on, tell me what will you do to me if I threaten you.” As soon as his words subsided, his men revealed their guns and pointed them at Andrius. The assassin leader believed he had Andrius under control, so he continued mocking without scruples, “Come on, show me. I’m curious. Satisfy my curiosity, please.” His men laughed and echoed as well. They all sneered and looked at Andrius and Noir in disdain. “Yeah. I thought you are the sh*t!” “Show us!” “You’re dead if you don’t entertain us!” “Come on, can’t you see what we are holding?” The assassins and hitmen thought they had the situation under control. Their sneers and taunting were ceaseless as they did not take Andrius and Noir seriously. The situation made Sonia and Bruce’s expression change. The fight had not even begun, yet Andrius and Noir were already seized by the goons. How would the fight
Nevertheless, Andrius did not even glance at her chest. “Mr. Moonshade…” Bruce took a deep breath and said, “Thank you for saving us. I, Bruce Timberland, will forever remember this!” Andrius said, “It’s not that I want to save you guys. I just don’t want those idiots disturbing me and burning down the garage. I like to hang out here. If there’s nothing else, please leave. Don’t disturb me.” Bruce finally realized why Tiger spoke so highly of Andrius. Andrius was worthy—more than worthy actually. He grabbed Sonia’s hand and bowed once more at Andrius before they slowly left. On the way back, after walking for a full ten minutes, Bruce said, “Sonia, did you notice that the Noir guy is powerful, but he seems to take orders from Mr. Moonshade.” “I noticed.” Sonia nodded. “If Noir can easily kill all those assassins…” Bruce’s expression turned serious, “That means Mr. Moonshade is even better than Noir!” Even though Sonia already had a hunch, when she heard it from her gr
As usual, Andrius picked up breakfast on the way to the office in the morning. When he arrived at the office and had just sat down on his chair, Luna approached him. “Andrius, come with me.” Her fair long legs appeared before his eyes. “Oh?” Andrius followed Luna to her office. Luna sat down at her desk with a stoic look. Her beautiful big eyes stared at Andrius. “Why didn’t you come back to Dream’s Waterfront last night?” Andrius thought it was about something else. He explained, “I was meeting a friend outside and had one too many beers. I don’t want to disturb you, so I didn’t go back…” Luna’s delicate face looked more relaxed. “If you can come back, come back. You hear me?” She added, “Don’t overthink it. I’m just thinking that since you are always out, Grandfather might suspect something. I don’t want him to be worrying.” “Mm-hmm.” Luna spotted his nonchalance. She wanted to continue, but then Danni came rushing in. “Ms. Crestfall! Something bad has happene
The Hanshus?! Luna had an instant headache when she learned the truth. “Luna!” Harry came rushing into her office with a bitter look on his face. “The shareholders got together and demanded a meeting. They don’t seem too happy. What is going on?” Luna’s heart skipped a beat. She had yet to come up with a solution to deal with the banks, but the shareholders were already teaming up against her internally. What a headache! Luna went over to the meeting room. She updated Harry about what happened with the banks, and Harry’s expression turned even more terrible. “Luna, we want out!” The shareholders made a racket when she came into the meeting room. “Yeah! We want out!” “We can’t do this anymore!” “New Moon Corporation is finished!” “Hurry up and get on with it!” Luna’s expression turned bitter. She suppressed the emotions in her heart and said politely, “Listen to me. The Valiant Institute project has already started, so as long as…” “There’s nothing else you c
