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
At Centro Hospital, Idris and the others were waiting in Cain’s ward.The team of experts was also there, and the atmosphere was so tense that they did not dare to breathe. There was pin-drop silence.Suddenly, a small noise broke the silence.Although the movement was very small, everyone could not help but shudder and carefully look over.It was Idris looking at the time. It was clear that he was already impatient because Thedus was not here yet.Everyone else grimaced slightly.Thump...Thump, thump—Just then, footsteps came from outside. However, they sounded a little strange.Everyone subconsciously looked at the door.The bodyguard leader and the others were covered in blood, and they staggered in.“O-Old Master...”The bodyguard leader knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at all. “While we were bringing Dr. Artemis back, Andrius Moonshade appeared just as we were about to arrive at the hospital.“We were no match for him… He took Dr. Artemis back.”The bodyg
The whole ward was dark for a moment.When it was bright again, he was lying over Donald’s neck, biting into his carotid artery.“Grr...“Tss...“Slurp—”With a sound that made everyone shiver, Donald was drained of all his blood and turned into a shriveled body lying on the ground.Everyone present was stunned into silence.It was only then that they could see the monster clearly. He was a person, but his hair was so thick that they could not see his skin at all.Everyone let out a gasp.They did not know that this was the fourth-strongest fighter of the Crestfalls.His name was Joshua Crestfall, also known as the ‘Blood-sucking Ape’. He had helped the Crestfalls get rid of their enemies and opponents in secret countless times.“Since the Timberlands want to stick their heads out for that scumbag…” Idris looked at Donald’s corpse on the ground and said coldly, “Then, we’ll go and give them a little punishment.”Roar!Joshua responded with a roar.Then, he dragged Donald’
