“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
“What is it?” Andrius yawned as he opened the door. “Look at this!” Halle showed him her phone after a few taps on the screen. When Andrius glanced at it, he instantly woke up. It was an article with the headline spelling “Rich Timberland’s New Handsome Sugarbaby”. Together with the article was a picture from Artemis Clinic. It was taken the night before yesterday when Sonia had shoved the bank card into Andrius’ face. Even though Andrius did not face the camera, a man as attractive as him was the only light in the dark. Anyone who knew his personality would recognize him at first glance. There was a whole essay attached underneath with almost a thousand words. The article described it so vividly that it felt like it really happened. “What the f*ck? Which jerk took this picture? This is slander! The article is accusing me!” Andrius was stunned by the disbelief. “How would I know?” Halle rolled her eyes at him. She added, “I was with Luna yesterday, and when she woke u
Andrius went online again, and the article was gone. …When Andrius arrived at Team Five’s office, Luna was already waiting for him there. “Andrius, a word in my office,” she said coldly before she stormed into her office. Her heels clacked loudly, obvious signs that she was furious. Andrius was speechless. He simply followed her into the office. Bang! Luna slammed the door shut. Her delicate face was frosty. “Andrius, explain the investment from Sonia Timberland.” Andrius sighed. “I guess she just wanted to invest?” “Stop bluffing!” Luna questioned him with a straight face, “Are you… illicitly involved with her? Or else why did she invest in our company and not ask for equity? She’s literally giving us money. If you have nothing to do with her, why would she do that?” She became angrier as she continued. Her chest heaved strongly and her breathing turned loud. Illicitly involved? It must be another way of calling him a sugar baby. Andrius was aggrieved. He expla
Noir immediately checked the life token.It was unbroken!This meant that Andrius was still alive, and he must have ascended to the Divine Realm.Noir was relieved.Remembering his responsibility to protect Luna, he exchanged a glance with Halle, Kate, and the others before quietly leaving.Not long after, a group arrived at the Immortal Demon Palace and began their cultivation, striving to ascend to the Divine Realm as soon as possible.In an ancient and desolate location, there were grand halls, statues of fierce beasts that still seemed lifelike despite the passage of time, sky-piercing pillars, and a sea of clouds...Everything looked majestic and awe-inspiring.However, it was eerily silent, like a dead land devoid of life.Until...Whoosh!A ray of light suddenly shot from the distance, moving at an unimaginable speed and entering the soul control orb at the center of the great hall.Then, a soul apparition started to form.It was none other than Andrius.He looked
Andrius’ condition was pretty bad.He thought that with his current realm and strength, he could handle the divine tribulation and successfully ascend to the Divine Realm.However, the strength of the divine tribulation far exceeded his expectations.He seemed to have easily dealt with the first strike.In reality, the moment the divine lightning struck his palm, the destructive force within it surged through his meridians and directly attacked his soul.As expected of the divine tribulation.So, Andrius did not dare to be careless anymore and immediately gathered his immortal essence to resist.However, that was just the beginning.Each divine bolt was stronger than the last, and their deafening sounds and unstoppable destructive power left Andrius in agony.The tribulation cloud showed no signs of dissipating, too. Instead, it grew even darker and heavier, pressing down on everyone until they could not breathe.Rumble—Crackle—The thunder rumbled relentlessly, and the li
If his true form was destroyed and his soul dispersed, the life token would shatter.That would be how Noir and the others would know about his situation.For the rest of his time, since short-term improvements were difficult at his level, he did not cultivate. However, Andrius meditated every day to calm his mind and clear his thoughts.Soon, three months passed.Sensing the increasingly intense presence of the tribulation, Andrius did not hide anymore and removed the effect of the Primordial Unity Pearl that was concealing his aura.Whoosh...An immense power surged forth, and massive tribulation clouds soon formed in the sky.At that moment, Andrius sat on top of a desolate mountain.A large crowd had gathered in the distance.It had been many years since anyone in the Immortal Realm had attempted the divine tribulation. Furthermore, Andrius had deliberately invited many people to witness the event to broaden the influence of the Lunarius Alliance.“Hiss... As expected of
Andrius chuckled. “It’s not that serious. I already have a plan.”“Tell me, Andy.”“I have an extraordinary treasure. The treasure itself contains its own independent space filled with countless treasures and living beings. Furthermore, the spiritual energy inside is ten, a hundred times richer than the outside world. I plan to entrust this treasure to you. Carve out a secluded area within it for Luna to recover.”Andrius slowly explained.The extraordinary treasure he spoke of was none other than the Immortal Demon Palace.With his current strength, crossing the divine tribulation would not be a problem.The Immortal Demon Palace was an independent realm constructed by the beings of the Divine Realm. Even figures like Cedric, the Blood Demon King, the Hidden Monarch, and the others had no choice but to follow its rules.Hiding Luna inside would ensure her safety.Of course, there was a small problem. If Andrius perished in the Divine Realm, as the owner of the Immortal Demon P
It was as if the dragon soul had always been part of his body.“How strange...”Andrius muttered to himself and continued to observe.Nothing happened.The dragon soul quickly integrated into his own without any further events.It only gave Andrius a vague sense of completeness, like something had filled a gap within him.It was a mysterious and eerie feeling.Swoosh...After the dragon soul left, the massive dragon bones collapsed, turning into a pile of white ash on the ground.It was clear that the dragon bones were preserved until now solely because of the dragon soul’s presence.“Forget it.”Seeing that the matter was settled, Andrius did not dwell on it.After glancing around and finding nothing unusual, he steadied himself, walked outside, and began thinking about his next move.“Andy!”“Wolf King!”“Andrius!”As soon as they saw Andrius, Noir, Halle, Kate, and the others rushed to him.While Andrius was absorbing the dragon soul, Noir had filled them in on the
Whoosh...Just as Andrius sent a wisp of his divine sense to investigate, an apparition suddenly emerged from the dragon bones.It was vague and ethereal, yet exuded a powerful aura.Gradually, it took the shape of a dragon.Andrius raised his brows. He was not surprised, though, let alone afraid.He looked at the dragon apparition, who looked back at him.Soon, the dragon apparition spoke in confusion, “Young man, I smell an extraordinary aura on you.”Smell...Many thoughts flashed through Andrius’ mind.What could a dragon find extraordinary? Perhaps it was the scent of the Divine Realm or the Void Thunder Dragon. Could it be the Divine Realm phoenix?The next second, the dragon asked, “Are you a descendant of the phoenix?”Andrius casually raised his hand, and a wisp of flame appeared at his fingertips. It was the phoenix’s true flame.“I knew it!”The dragon apparition trembled slightly.Then, its enormous eyes showed a trace of sorrow.Andrius frowned, sensing some
The remaining power of Andrius’ punch slammed into the man’s head viciously, like a hammer smashing a watermelon, splattering everywhere.“Hiss—”The captured cultivators could not help but gasp.Wow.Who was this guy? He was able to kill a mid-stage Aureate Immortal in just a single punch. Was he even human?Even Halle, Kate, and the others were dumbfounded.It had not been long since they last saw him, but he had already grown to be this powerful. It was completely unbelievable.The members of Dragon Immortal Sect were shocked and terrified.He was too strong!Even the sect leader was killed in one punch. They would be serving themselves up on a silver platter.At that moment, everyone kneeled.“Please have mercy!”“Please spare us.”It was the sect leader who ordered us to do this...”They groveled repeatedly, banging their heads until they bled. Though they did not dare stop.What was begging as long as they could live?However, Andrius’ words threw them into despai
“Andrius!”“Wolf King!”The group was instantly overjoyed when they saw Andrius.They soon snapped back to their senses, though. This was the heart of Dragon Immortal Sect, and they were in the middle of a sacrificial ceremony.“Run!”“Andrius, leave now. Don’t worry about us!”“That’s right. Just avenge us later!”They knew Andrius was strong, but they did not know how strong.After all, Dragon Immortal Sect was a powerful sect, and the sect leader and Grand Elder were all gathered in the hall.No matter how powerful Andrius was, he could not face off against so many opponents.Andrius could not help but laugh.However, before he could explain, Noir said solemnly, “Don’t worry. With Andy’s current strength, wiping them out will be as easy as slaughtering chickens.”Halle, Kate, and the others were stunned.Noir was extremely confident. Could Andrius have really become a great power in the Immortal Realm?While they were still in doubt...“It’s him!”The disciples immed
“It’s not a shame. As long as we awaken the true dragon’s soul, we can get any woman we want in the future.”“But it’s hard to find one that’s as beautiful and graceful...”The disciples drooled and spoke lewdly, but their actions were swift. They quickly restrained Halle and the others.Of course, they were not the only sacrifices.There were many other cultivators, even some powerful fiends and Demon Kings.“Let’s start!”In the center of the altar, Bernard saw that everyone was in place and gave the order.“Understood!”Everyone started to move.The disciples restrained Halle and the others firmly.The 108 core and elite disciples began channeling immortal essence, feeding it into Bernard’s body.In an instant, Bernard grew into a towering figure like a giant.It was one of his techniques.As he continuously chanted, the dragon bones in the center of the altar trembled slightly.It was clear he was trying to awaken the dragon.“No, I don’t want to die.”“You beasts!
