Noelle looked back and saw Marcus. She asked coldly, “What are you doing here?” “If I weren't here, were you going to use that on him?” Marcus’ heart pounded wildly. If he was half a second late, things would have gone terribly. Aside from the fact that he could never arrange for his daughter to meet the Wolf King, torturing the Wolf King alone would put his daughter in a dangerous position as the million Lycantroops would certainly retaliate. The thought fueled his nervousness. His forehead was glistening with sweat and his expensive shirt was drenched. “Why are you two standing there? Release him!” Marcus shouted at the other two officers in the room. “Release him?” Noelle glared at Marcus and grumbled. “He is a suspect in a gang fight. Eight men have been injured…” “Nonsense!” Marcus stopped her right away. “He is someone with a special identity. He did not do whatever you claimed he did, so release him immediately!” “Special identity?” Noelle scoffed. “Tell me, how
Early the next morning, when Andrius woke up, Luna had already gone out. He then went out to buy breakfast and headed to the New Moon Corporation office. When he arrived at the CEO’s office, he grabbed a spotless cloth and started cleaning. Luna somehow made him her personal janitor of her office. After cleaning, Andrius sat on the couch and started scrolling through military news. Bang! All of a sudden, the door flew open. Luna stormed in furiously. Her expression spelled anger. Her secretary, Danni, followed in with a cup of Americano. The expensive Americano could help to burn body fat, which was why Luna would have several cups in a single day. Slam! Luna flung the coffee off her table and snapped, “Out! Everybody out!” Andrius frowned as he walked out of the office. “What’s wrong with her?” Danni sighed and said with a bitter expression, “Ms. Crestfall had a meeting with the board and suggested changes to the Valiant Institute project, but the board membe
The board members erupted in laughter. Everyone looked at Andrius like he was an idiot. Donovan was the second largest shareholder of the company. He was not the most powerful person in Sumeria, and there were indeed people who could take his place away from the city, but it was definitely not a mere assistant. “Shhh…” Andrius gestured to silence the laughing group. He then dialed a number on his phone. “The second largest shareholder of New Moon Corporation, Donovan Seaview… I want him out of the city for good.” “F*ck.” Donovan felt challenged. Even though Andrius was nothing but a clown to him, being disrespected by a mere assistant in front of other board members fueled his anger. He glared at Andrius and said with gritted teeth, “Boy, if you can’t make your claims come true today, I will make sure you crawl out of this place…” Ring! Before Donovan could finish, his phone rang. He answered it and heard an anxious voice from the other end. “Mr. Seaview, this is ba
“Such as smuggling from the local customs! If this got out, what do you think will happen?” Donovan jumped to his feet with a start. He pointed at Andrius with his shaking hand and cried, “W-who the hell are you?” It took Andrius one call to expose all of Donovan’s dirty dealings and secrets. No John Doe could have such capabilities to force a man to such desperation. If all the dirty secrets got out, Donovan would have to spend the rest of his life behind bars. Andrius smiled innocently at the nervous Donovan. “Mr. Seaview, I told you. I’m just an assistant in the CEO’s office, and I am here to threaten you people.” With that, Donovan’s phone continued to ring. The ringtone fueled his anxiety. He finally realized the ‘assistant’ was not joking! If he refused to cooperate, he would really lose his place in the city. The thought made his legs weak. He fell on the floor and started to beg, “Okay, okay! I’ll listen to whatever you say! Please stop this!” “I can, but you kn
“Now that I have everyone’s consent, then the Valiant Institute project will proceed according to my decision.” “Sounds great!” Seeing the smile on Luna’s face, Donovan and the other board members sighed a breath of relief. Luna was in a great mood. This was the most successful board meeting she had in years. No matter what suggestions offered or decisions she made, the board members supported her unconditionally. “Great! I think that’s all for today. Thank you, everyone.” Luna started to tidy up her documents before leaving. She accidentally caught a glance of Donovan and asked out of curiosity, “Mr. Seaview, is it the air-con? You’re drenched. Are you okay? Better take a day off and go see the doctor if you aren't.” Donovan was vexed by Luna’s sudden ‘concern’ about his condition. ‘Do I look like I’m sick? Open your damn eyes and look! It’s that assistant of yours who scared me!’ he thought inwardly.He gulped. Despite cursing endlessly in his heart, he forced an awk
After cleaning up the office, Andrius went outside and unlocked a scooter using the app on his phone. He rode it back to Dream’s Waterfront. Dream’s Waterfront was a high-end residential area, so no electric scooters were allowed inside. Andrius parked the scooter further away and walked into the neighborhood. When he arrived at the entrance of the house, he heard a little commotion. Athena was at the entrance, and she was smiling helplessly at him. “Athena? What’s wrong?” Andrius asked. “The decisions Ms. Crestfall made at the board meeting earlier somehow affected the uncles’ profits, so they came here to reason with her,” Athena explained. Andrius frowned. He heard two loud voices from inside the house, overpowering Luna. He knew Luna was at a disadvantage. They were not here reasoning but arguing with Luna! With the thought in mind, Andrius went in. His arrival attracted all the attention in the house. All of them shot a contemptuous gaze at him, especially the tw
Slap! Andrius gave Brent another hard slap. After being slapped four times, Brent’s face was badly swollen. “You peasant! How dare you slap my son…” Janet wanted to avenge her son but was deterred when she saw Andrius’ glare. Anxious, she turned to Luna and bellowed, “Luna, you little b*tch! How dare you order your peasant husband to slap your cousin? I’ll go tell your grandfather what you did! You will pay for this!” “Hmph!” Luna snorted as she argued, “You people come to my house with all this nonsense, and I can’t even defend myself?” “Besides, the decisions on the Valiant Institute project are all Grandfather’s ideas. If he finds out that you two are unhappy with his decisions and caused trouble at my place, what would he think of you two?” she expressed bluntly. “You…” Janet was tongue-tied. She tried to argue, but Andrius’ death stare deterred her. Knowing her disadvantage, Janet left Dream’s Waterfront with her son. Andrius wanted to stop them and make Brent ap
Sivon Grandola was a bar that specialized in all kinds of alcoholic beverages in front while being Dragon Gang’s discreet hideout in the back. The customers were mostly street thugs and gang members, but the bar welcomed a group of uninvited guests for the first time: the local police! Noelle was leading the raid. The investigation of the previous fight led her to the bar. The owner of the bar was the big boss of the Dragon Gang, Raphael Bambino. The man in the handsome suit had no tattoos on his body, unlike his men. He looked more like a businessman than a mafia boss. However, he was actually a ruthless man who did things mercilessly. “Captain Freely, we are running a legitimate business here. Is there any misunderstanding?” Raphael said gently to Noelle. “We got the news that your men are involved in the gang fight. We are here for an investigation and a possible arrest,” Nolle said strictly. “Very well. This way, please.” Raphael invited her in before he led the offic
