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
Sonia Timberland? Andrius was surprised. The girl that Noir saved last night? When Fatty Frank and the whole department heard of the news, they became restless. “A-are you sure?” “Am I hearing it right?” Fatty Frank swallowed and looked inconceivable. “Angel, are you saying that one of the big three families in Sumeria, the Timberlands, the granddaughter of Bruce Timberland, Sonia Timberland is here to invest in our company?” “Yeah!” Angel said with utmost certainty, “Sonia Timberland! You heard me right! And I’m sure I got the right person. I saw her heading to Luna’s office!” Her words assured the rest of the team, but it also confused them. “The Timberlands… Any one of their subsidiaries is stronger than our company, yet they come to us with an investment…” “The influential Timberlands come here just to invest in our company? How strange.” “Yeah, it’s bizarre.” The group was more confused than before as they pondered. Fatty Frank then asked Andrius, “Boss,
“A billion…” Sonia knew exactly why Luna was shocked. She smiled and added, “I just want the shares, not the equity.” Luna was stunned. Without equity, Sonia would have no power on the board and be unable to participate in making important decisions. As stated, she would only get bonus shares from the company profit, which was incredibly lenient toward Luna’s situation. “Ms. Timberland. I…” Luna was flattered and flabbergasted. She could not believe Sonia at first. “Are you serious?” Sonia smiled. “Of course, I am serious. I even brought the contract.” She texted her secretary who shortly came in with a document for Luna. Luna had a look at the contract which was as Sonia said. “Ms. Crestfall, if there’s no problem, please sign it.” Sonia was here to repay Andrius, so there was no reason for her to tinker with the contract. “Okay! Right away!” Luna immediately signed the contract. “And…” Sonia took the signed contract and gave it to her secretary. “A few days late
