If it was not for Andrius, she would have already been dead. “Forget it. I’ll let him off the hook this time,” Luna said to Danni. Danni nodded and left the office. On second thought, Luna decided to call Andrius to find out what was going on. Toot…The call connected but no one picked up. Luna called him a few times but still did not get an answer. She was annoyed. “That guy… I called him but he isn’t picking up. Where is he? What is he doing?” Luna simply had no idea. At the same time, Andrius was going through the list of victims that Noir gave him, especially the veterans who died in the tragedy. He went over to their families to offer some consolation. “Madam, we are sorry for your loss. We are in grief for John’s passing as well…” Andrius was at one of the victims’ houses. The house was by no means big, but in front of the entrance was a small altar for the deceased, John Cage. The altar took up most of the space, so there was very limited space for peopl
Andrius was not concerned about the young ones. He went over to Luna and asked, “What is going on?” With a straight face, she asked, “Andrius, tell me did you beat up the head of the Hanshus, Wayman Hanshus, last night and caused him to jump off the building?” “Isn’t it obvious?” Before Andrius could say a word, George interrupted with a scoff, “Hmph. Wayman Hanshu is the head of one of the big three. Why would he jump off the building without a reason? What drove him so mad that he had to kill himself?” Upset, he glared at Andrius with detest and resentment. “Andrius Moonshade, you are a menace to the Crestfalls!” Dick then added, “Andrius, the ghost of the deceased veterans seeking revenge is a bluff. You can fool the public but not us! “If you hadn’t beaten him up, why would he have jumped off the building?” He sounded so aggressive as if he had been there, witnessing the murder. Andrius was rendered speechless. The Crestfalls had a sharp instinct, but they missed
Simon’s eyes narrowed, gleaming dangerously. He looked at the coffin beside him and said fiercely, “Andrius Moonshade, do you want to lie down inside and take your own life, or I must make you after I break your limbs?” Andrius cackled with laughter. He looked at Simon’s aged face and said indifferently, “I think I’m too young to lie down in there. It’s more suitable for you.” His words fueled Simons’ anger. The old man’s brows and beard were quivering. “How audacious! Get him! Break all his limbs! Break one and I will reward you with five million! Anyone who cuts his head off, I will reward him with ten million and a mansion!” With the order from Simon, all the men threw themselves at Andrius fiercely. “Kill him!” “Kill him! And we will be rich!” “Go! Go!” The men had a boost of adrenaline when they heard the rewards. They even chanted as they charged toward Andrius. Andrius scoffed coldly, “You have to be alive to spend that money.” Then, he also charged at the
Clank! Whamm! The Grim Reaper Mercenaries had killed many in the past, but when they saw the army of soldiers, they were shaken. Their weapons fell from their hands as they trembled. Simon’s jaw dropped as well, his heart pounding quicker than ever. Who exactly was Andrius Moonshade?! How could he summon that many soldiers together with tanks and helicopters? Simon had messed with someone that he could not afford. It was over! The Hanshus had run into a wall this time, and there was nowhere else to run. Simon was already in his 70s, and the massive scene scared him so much that he peed his pants so much that it drenched him. It showed how afraid he was. As the tanks came closer, the soldiers came down and got into formation behind Andrius with Noir leading the group. While the helicopters hovered in the sky with their hatches opened, two ropes fell and a group of soldiers slid down. Pitch-black barrels of guns were pointed at all the mercenaries. When the soldie
Simon was put in a vegetative state, forever bed-bound. He could no longer wake up and could no longer speak a word. On both sides of his temples were little dots of blood, and when mixed with his sweat, no one could easily spot them. “Fall back,” Andrius said to Noir. The soldiers brought the bunch of international mercenaries back while Andrius returned to Dream’s Waterfront. For some reason, Luna removed the curfew and Andrius went in easily. When he stepped into the living hall, the little noises he made brought Luna out. She was still waiting for him. “Andrius…” The expression on her face shifted when she saw Andrius. “How’re things with the Hanshus?” “It’s done,” Andrius said calmly. “Really?” Luna widened her exhausted eyes, suspicious. “The Hanshus accepted your apology?” “You can say so,” Andrius said after some thought. After all, Simon did not hold him responsible for what he did since the man could not move or speak anymore, so he took it as an apology a
Anthony Henderson was a name that everyone in Sumeria was familiar with. Every move he made was amplified and placed under the spotlight. Therefore, his being at the hospital was news to the media. The news spread like wildfire. The richest man in Sumeria was going after Andrius and the Crestfalls! It was late, but the moon was shrouded behind dark clouds. Luna finally fell asleep after some turning and tossing, but she was soon woken up by her phone. It was her third uncle, Dick. “Luna, what the f*ck is wrong with that Andrius? Does he want us dead that much?” Dick was furious as he continued, “Can you get a hold of him? If he wants to die, just let him go. Don’t drag us down! If you can’t control him, tell him to go back to his cave in the mountains!” Luna was baffled, but she had a feeling something had gone wrong again. She asked timidly, “What happened?” “What happened?!” Dick scoffed. “The whole of Sumeria knows but not you?!” Before Luna could say a word, he
“Harry Crestfall?!” Anthony could not hold back his anger when he picked up the phone the second time. “Stop calling me! The Crestfalls are doomed no matter what you do! If you call me again, I don’t mind ending your family right away!” He then hung up the phone abruptly. Back in Luna’s office, after Anthony hung up on him, Harry looked dispirited as he collapsed on the chair. Luna had the same dispirited and pale expression on her face. It was over. Now that Anthony had made it clear, the Crestfalls could never make it out alive. The two of them fell into despair. If the CEO of the company lost all confidence, her employees and subordinates would feel worse. “I’m resigning right away!” “The Hendersons are coming for us! New Moon Corporation will be history soon.” “The death countdown is happening already!” “Run! At least, you can still save yourself now.” “I’m not staying here. You guys can be my guest.” The entire company was in turmoil. No one wanted to wor
Anthony reacted to Bruce’s advice with disdain. Someone that he could not mess with? The only people that the Hendersons could not mess with were the military governor and the Wolf King. Only they had the power to put the Hendersons into an unredeemable fire pit for eternity. A tiny New Moon Corporation and the Crestfalls were no threats to the Hendersons. How could they be fire to the Hendersons? Since they were unable to reach an agreement, Anthony hung up the phone and forgot about the Timberlands. The Hanshus were heavily crippled now, so they were no longer a threat to the Hendersons. Anthony did not take Bruce seriously because he wanted to focus on the Wolf King. Soon, Anthony invited almost all the local government officials to his place. The lowest position of the invited guests was a director and the highest was a minister. Of course, Anthony was not that influential enough to invite Mayor Freely. Mayor Freely was known to be an honest man, so Anthony’s weal
