The criminals threw themselves at Andrius en masse. Andrius took a step forward, threw a strike at the first man, and punched him against the wall, killing him on the spot. They were all murderous criminals who did not value life, so there was no reason for Andrius to hold back. However, Andrius’ merciless punches somehow surprised the criminals. Before they could react, he punched and kicked, knocking them all out one by one. They were either killed or crippled for life. Half a minute later, only Andrius and Cain remained standing in the room. Solomon had passed out due to shock. Andrius looked at Cain and said, “You have two more chances.” “Grr….” Cain’s eyes were bloodshot due to the anger. Now, he finally believed Solomon when he said that Andrius was powerful. In fact, he was not just powerful, he was ridiculously powerful! Cain, however, was not afraid, because he had a gun with him. He drew his gun out and took aim at Andrius. He then pulled the trigger. “Die
The old man was scrawny and short. He had deep wrinkles on his face and caved-in eyebags that somehow flashed wickedly from time to time. His stare was similar to that of a viper. More importantly, his fingernails were maroon in color, extending long and sharp. It resembled the claws of a hawk who had just crushed its prey. It was frightening to look at. “Elder Nevermore, you’re here just in time! Kill this man for me!” Cain was delighted by the old man’s arrival. He pointed at Andrius and commanded the old man to kill him. “Young Master Crestfall, a piece of cake.” The old man cupped his fists at Cain before he headed to Andrius. He said as he walked closer, “Kid, I am Ulysse Nevermore, a pseudo-martial artist.” He sounded proud and his gaze at Andrius was full of disdain. “I cultivated the Nine Yin Skeleton Claws, and I have mastered it to perfection.” Then, he swung his hands in the air. Swoosh! Clank! Powerful qi energy blasted forward. The tea table beside hi
After Andrius left the Rising Dragon Hotel, he went back to the Crestfalls’ estate. Belarus, Harry, and Luna were all there. Luna looked pale and had yet to recover from the shock. “Andrius, you’re back.” Belarus bitterly chuckled when he saw Andrius and continued, “We must look like a joke to you.” Andrius was not bothered at all. “Every family has their own problems.” “I agree.” Belarus sighed and then explained, “The conflict between our family and the Crestfalls in the capital, the East River State, happened a long time ago. It’s been so long that I almost forgot about it. “Back then, my father was still around. In order to select a qualified heir to the family business, he treated me and my brother fairly and wanted us to compete equally for the position. I followed my father’s teachings to be honest and serious about work and to maintain a humble heart. “I gained quite the support and got the advantage at a certain period of time. However, it did not last…” Then
“Mm-hmm. I’ll bear it in mind.” When the words escaped Luna’s mouth, her face blushed. “I got it,” Andrius simply answered and went into his room. Luna stared at his back, speechless. ‘Geez…’ Andrius had no idea what was going through Luna’s mind. He went on his phone to check some military news. Suddenly, he got a call from Bruce, the master of the Timberlands. “Mr. Moonshade, the young master of the Crestfalls from the capital, Cain, came to Sumeria and took Ms. Crestfall away. I wonder if it has been dealt with.” Bruce knew a thing or two about the Crestfalls but not everything. Cain had caused a commotion with his arrival, so it was natural that Bruce wanted to know more. Cain might just be a reckless young man, but the Crestfalls from the capital were so powerful that even Bruce dared not mess with them. Not even the Hendersons had the nerves to challenge the Crestfalls from the capital, let alone the Timberlands. “It has been dealt with,” Andrius simply answer
Meanwhile at the East River State, Idris brought his family to St. Jade Church for their monthly prayers. The Crestfalls were regulars, and they would donate a few million to the church from time to time. Therefore, the church prepared a VIP prayer room just for the Crestfalls. The room was spacious at more than 200 meters square feet. Idris held the prayer beads in his hands as he knelt on the cushion. In front of him was a golden statue of God, looking solemn and holistic. Behind him were the younger family members, looking similarly solemn and respectful. Only James, Cain’s father, was distracted. He had lost contact with Cain for a while now, he had a bad feeling. A slight hesitation later, he went up to his father and said in a small voice, “Father, I haven’t gotten in contact with Cain for a while now. I wonder if…” “Shut up!” Idris stopped him before he could finish. Displeased, Idris added, “This is a sacred praying ground. A peaceful heart is imperative to ac
Back in Sumeria, everyone was in shock when they heard the news of the Crestfalls of the East River State coming. The Crestfalls of the East River State were more powerful than the Hendersons. They were like the main pillar of support of the East River State, and they were on their way to Sumeria. It was not an exaggeration to say they would stir up a storm locally. The old master of the Crestfalls, Idris, was one of the most influential figures throughout South County. One sneeze from the man, and a typhoon would land on Sumeria. Therefore, many nobles and dignitaries were sleepless on this particular night as they planned how to be prepared. They were thinking about ways to hitchhike on this massive ship that was the Crestfalls from the East River State. On the next day at Centro Hospital, inside the most luxurious ward, Idris saw Cain lying on the bed. Cain looked pale and dead. Other than his weak breathing, there were no signs of life in him. Idris was fuming. Karen
Back at New Moon Corporation, due to Cain’s sudden interruption yesterday, Luna was not able to come up with an immediate strategy to seize the Hendersons and the Hanshus’ resources now that they were gone. She has to come up with a solution today. “Danni, call Andrius and Frank here. Tell them to join the meeting.” Luna decided to bring them in after some meticulous consideration. Andrius was a kind person, and Fatty Frank’s bravery was self-explanatory. While the whole company was trembling in the face of violence, only Fatty Frank stood up and tried to defend Luna. He must have a good heart. Therefore, Luna decided to mentor and train the two of them, eventually making them her right- and left-hand men. At least, she wanted to boost them up to the executive level in the company. “Alright, Ms. Crestfall!” Danni went out with her heels clacking as she headed to Team Five’s office. “Andrius, Frank, Ms. Crestfall wants you two to join the general meeting.” Danni then l
However, no one answered.Luna called several times in a row to no avail, making her very angry.There were many people waiting for the meeting, so she could not keep waiting for Andrius. She had to finish the meeting first and then settle the score with him later.In the street where Centro Hospital was located, the Crestfalls’ bodyguards were speeding down the road.“I hope this old geezer can cure the young master.”An idea flashed in the head of the bodyguard leader.If he could not cure Cain...As subordinates, all of them would suffer a calamity under Idris’ fury.The bodyguard thought about it.Suddenly, a man stood in front of the car.Beep, beep beep—The bodyguard leader immediately honked the horn to urge the man to get away.However, the man did not move and simply stood in the middle of the road. It was clear he was trying to stop them, making the bodyguard leader furious.“Boss...”“That man looks like Andrius Moonshade!” someone spoke up in the car.The bo
