Behind Kevin was a team of photographers, a boy as the ringbearer and a girl as the flower girl, plus a whole bunch of people. It looked official and grand. When Kevin’s words subsided, thunderous applause sounded. The people who he paid off started to cheer and applaud loudly. “This is so romantic!” “I’m so jealous! Ms. Timberland is really the happiest woman on earth!” “If I’m Ms. Timberland, I might cry a river!” “Marry him, Ms. Timberland!” “Marry him!” The crowd was ceaseless with their merriments. The cheers and comments, plus the crowd pressure pushed Sonia under the spotlight. The crowd then cheered louder en masse. If Sonia rejected Kevin, she would be identified as a cold and heartless woman, a woman who could not read the room. Sonia was in a delighted mood today. She invited Andrius to the event because she thought of advancing on him. However, with Kevin pulling this fiasco in front of her and Andrius, everything was messed up. She got to her fe
However, Luna did not put much thought into it. Similar to most of the crowd, Luna believed that Sonia simply came up with an excuse to reject Kevin, and Andrius was the excuse. As for Kevin, he was fuming, his expression turned bitter. To him, Andrius was a good-for-nothing prick that leeched on women, yet Sonia used him to reject himself. A blatant insult! The only one who remained calm was Andrius. He was reading his magazine and his thoughts drifted away. Slowly, as he realized something strange was happening to his surroundings, he looked up and saw a silent and astonished crowd looking at him. “What happened? What are you people looking at me?” Andrius closed the magazine in his hand, looking more confused than ever. The crowd saw his reaction, and their impression became worse. He was invited to Sonia’s birthday party, yet he was reading a magazine, locked up in his own world, rather than mingling around with other influential figures to expand his network and co
As the melody ended, the two of them slowed down into the final pose. Sonia leaned back on her waist, her hands around Andrius’ back and her chest pressed against his. Andrius held her by the back of her head with one hand and her waist with the other, his torso slightly leaning forward. The two of them stared at each other. It was beautiful and elegant like a painting. “Great!” “What a splendid dance!” “They are made for each other! Elegant!” “Ms. Timberland…” Thunderous applause sounded across the hall as all the guests cheered on them. At that very moment, they were so captivated by the beautiful dance that they forgot who Andrius and Sonia were. They got carried away and cheered on the two of them wholeheartedly. Sonia blushed as she stared into Andrius’ eyes closely, eventually averting his gaze. Just when she thought Andrius would make another move, he held her up, left, and returned to Luna’s side. Sonia was drowned in complicated feelings. She was both h
Everyone stared at him grudgingly. Andrius was not overly bothered as he continued to play with his phone. “Hey, punk!” Then, a suited bodyguard went up to Andrius, calling him in an unfriendly manner. “Are you calling me?” Andrius looked up and asked. “My boss is looking for you,” the bodyguard said with a grunt before he led the way. Andrius had always been a decisive person who would solve problems with his own hands. Therefore, when he heard someone was looking for him, he ought to answer the call, be it bad or good. He put his phone away and followed the bodyguard away. The two of them exited the hotel. A few minutes later, they arrived in a secluded alleyway. There was someone standing in the shadows with his back showing. “Boss, I’ve brought him here,” the bodyguard said to the figure in the shadows and then stepped aside. The figure turned around. It was none other than Kevin Longtide, the man who got rejected by Sonia earlier in the banquet hall. “P
Then, as Kevin lost his balance, he fell onto his knees in front of Andrius. “You punk! How dare you attack Young Master Longtide?!” The bodyguard who brought Andrius here was watching further away with his arms crossed. However, when Andrius broke his young master’s leg, he was horrified. He strode forward and attacked Andrius. To his surprise, when he was right in front of Andrius, a powerful kick landed on his chest, sending him flying backward. He hit the wall and passed out. Andrius then turned around to Kevin. “Tsk.” Andrius clicked his tongue and smiled. “So, this is how you are going to make me suffer? You even kneel down before me… I have to give it to your sincerity. This is too much, too much!” His taunts and ridiculing were like rubbing salt in Kevin's wounds. Kevin was fuming. He was on his knees as he looked up to Andrius grudgingly, the vicious gaze from his eyes would send chills down one’s spine. “Andrius Moonshade!” Kevin squeezed the name out of his
Perhaps this might be a problem with being invincible. Andrius called Noir and told him to take care of the bodies. Noir arrived shortly after the call. Andrius returned to Sonia’s birthday party. However, the little encounter held him back for too long. When he returned to the banquet hall, the party was at its end already. Fortunately, Sonia was still there waiting for him. “Mr. Moonshade, where have you been?” Sonia asked out of concern when she saw him coming back. “I…” Andrius quickly came up with an excuse and said, “I went to the toilet. Where’s Luna?” “Luna…” Sonia smiled and said honestly, “She looked for you when you were away, but she didn’t see you anywhere. She did not look too well either, so she left in a hurry.” What happened? What was wrong with that woman? Andrius was more confused than ever. Since Luna had gone home, Andrius did not want to stay either. He turned around and wanted to leave, but Sonia stopped him. Sonia put her smile away and l
“N-no?! No, I have no feelings for him!” Luna denied it immediately and even stammered because she got nervous. “What nonsense! Why would I fall for him?!” Luna then went back to her room in a hurry. “If you have no feelings for him, why are you so riled up?” Athena laughed as she watched Luna escape into her room. Luna’s reaction betrayed her. Back in the room, Luna’s thoughts were in a mess. Andrius was just a guy from the mountains in the countryside. Even though he was kind and would not just stand back when someone else took advantage of her, he liked to boast and brag. He did things without scruples and did not care about how the world worked. Other than his kindness, he was full of flaws. What good would he be? She would never fall for him. However, she felt like she lost him whenever she saw him with someone else, especially when he got intimate with other women. …Meanwhile, Noelle went to the Royal Garden after work. In order to meet the First War God,
“Hehe.” Halle chuckled and hopped her way into the house. She had been drunk when she was here the other time, so she did not get the chance to tour the legendary mansion. Therefore, she was extremely excited this time. Andrius was worried about her making a mess, so he quickly said, “I have things to do. You be careful when you walk around the house. It’s… dangerous here.” He knew the First War God well. The man was meticulous but also suspicious. A few years ago, the First War God went on a mission and unfortunately got surrounded by enemies. He contacted the base for reinforcements, but when reinforcements arrived, he was completely fine and healthy. The enemies who surrounded him, on the other hand, fell into his traps and were tortured terribly. Some of the allies who went to his rescue accidentally fell into one of his traps as well. Given his suspicious personality, the First War God set up many traps in the Royal Garden. Andrius was able to spot quite a number o
