Halle soon caught up to Andrius.“Hey, why are you walking so fast?”When she remembered how Andrius had looked at his phone in the room earlier, she joked, “Are you going out to meet a beauty?”Andrius replied without turning around, “You’re right, I’m going to see someone.”All kinds of feelings instantly erupted in Halle’s heart. She felt incredibly upset and asked, “Who is it that you have to visit personally?”Andrius casually said, “Hansel Turner.”“Who did you say?” Halle froze for half a second before exclaiming. Her voice was much louder than usual.She looked Andrius’ way and stared at him with her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. “You mean you’re going to meet Hansel Turner? T-the Hansel Turner who’s also known as the ‘Devil of Finance’?“Yes.” Andrius thought about it and corrected himself, “More accurately, he wants to see me, but I can’t tell him to come here, can I?”Halle was completely stunned.Hansel Turner...He was a tycoon in the financial world. He
Jason found that the Wolf King was no longer there.His heart suddenly felt uneasy. Did he neglect the Wolf King?In an instant, cold sweat soaked the inside of his expensive shirt.“You’re here.” Jude deliberately showed off his status, saying bossily, “Just leave the wine there. You can go.”He spoke as if he were the emperor of this room.Jason forced a smile and pointed to Andrius’ seat, asking uneasily, “Where did the gentleman who was sitting there go?”“Him?”Before Jude could answer, Ford said indifferently, “That piece of trash left. Don’t worry, he didn’t drink a drop of this wine. It won’t go to waste.”He left?Piece of trash?Trash?!How dare he call the Wolf King ‘trash’?He even said that he would not let the Wolf King drink a single drop of wine with such conviction!Smack!Jason was shocked, angry, and afraid. He slapped Ford’s face without holding back at all. Then, he took the two la Romanee Conti bottles and left.Everyone was astonished by that slap.
“This old hag… Me eating here is an honor to the Royal Dragon, yet you are asking me to pay the bill?” Jude grumbled and cursed Jason inwardly. If he was not on the way to meet Master Turner, he would teach Jason a lesson immediately. “How much is it?” Jude looked at the cashier casually. It was just a meal. How expensive could it cost? It was a slight waste that he could not show off in front of Ford and Jennifer, but he did not mind at all. “Sir, your bill is…” The cashier looked at the bottom of the bill and said, “2,843,088. I have rounded up for you, so it’s just 2,850,000.” “What did you say?” Jude was frightened. He grinned in disbelief and asked, “A meal cost almost three million? What kind of lousy joke is this? Were we eating gold just now?” “What kind of lousy place this is? Why is it so expensive?” Jennifer was also shocked. She snatched the bill from the cashier, and the three of them went through the dishes ordered. At the very end, the three of them spott
However, with that many intimidating security guards before him, Jason dared not do anything crazy. Crack! Crack! The security guards cracked their knuckles loudly and exercised their arms. Jude flushed, but he could not do anything. In the end, he surrendered and paid the bill. He only had 300,000 in his bank account, so he had to swipe all his credit cards to foot the entire bill. “Let’s go!” Jude glared at Jason before he brought Ford and Jennifer away and headed to Ocean Moon Estate where Hansel was. A while later, they arrived at Ocean Moon Estate. When they arrived at the parlor, Jude was surprised to see Andrius and Halle there before them. “Yo…” Jude looked at Andrius with surprise and said, “Andrius, what are you doing here?” Andrius raised a brow at him and said, “I brought Halle here to meet Hansel.” “How dare you call Master Turner’s name?! Who do you think you are?” Jude criticized his manners and sneered, “A guy from the mountains like you speaking rud
Andrius was unfazed while Jude gloated at him. Ford and Jennifer instinctively turned to Halle. “Halle, come over here!” Ford signaled his daughter multiple times, afraid that Master Turner would misunderstand the situation. Jennifer was much more direct. She strode over to Halle, grabbed her arm, and wanted to drag her away from Andrius so that she would not be involved when Master Turner blamed Andrius. Halle somehow cemented herself on the spot. No matter how hard her mother pulled her, she did not even move. Her persistence made her mother anxious, but there was nothing Jennifer could do. Master Turner was already standing in front of Andrius. Jude’s grin widened. He was delighted because Andrius would soon be scolded and berated by Master Turner. Jennifer and Ford were both anxious and nervous as well. “Mr. Moonshade!” Hansel bowed deeply in front of Andrius and welcomed him sincerely, “It is my honor to see you here in Sumeria.” What? What just happened? Jud
When they were back home, Jennifer could no longer hold her curiosity back and asked, “Andrius, do you know Master Turner personally?” The other three widened their ears for the answer. “Not really. It’s just that I saved his life once,” Andrius explained leisurely. When he was fighting at the frontline of the Western Frontline, Hansel, who was a well-known business tycoon, was abducted by terrorists. The terrorists demanded more money to fund their terror activities. Andrius had saved him. Hansel respected Andrius because he was the Wolf King and also his savior. “I see.” When Jude heard the answer, he scoffed with disdain. “Andrius, you are really from the mountains. You are so narrow-sighted. You didn’t know how to use your connection with Master Turner. A favor from Master Turner is difficult to get. It can make a person rich overnight and help a family rise to prominence. Yet you…” He looked at Andrius with contempt. “You simply use his favor to act cool. How fooli
“Marcus?” Jude laughed when he heard the name. He ridiculed, “Andrius, did you just call the mayor?” Andrius chuckled. “Yeah. What’s wrong with that?” “Nope. I just want to laugh.” Jude ridiculed, “You really know how to pretend, eh? You even call Mayor Freely Marcus? Tsk, tsk, tsk. I bet you have spent all your energy on acting cool.” Andrius did not care about the man’s sneers. Halle, on the other hand, had hope for Andrius. She knew about Andrius’ and the mayor’s relationship, so it might really work. Ford and Jennifer looked at Andrius with increased contempt. He was a nameless man from the mountain, foolish enough to lose the opportunity of a lifetime, and was now boasting like he could tell the mayor to deliver him a government contract. It was an insult to their intellect! However, since Andrius said that he would leave Halle if he could not bring the contract over, so the two of them decided to wait and see how it turned out. Ten minutes went by. Jude’s pati
Ford’s hand was shaking when he took the contract from Marcus. When he had the contract in his hand, he briefly went through it before he signed his name on it. He stammered, “I-it’s all good! It’s all good!” Marcus was the city’s mayor. One word and the Fullberries would be doomed, so there was no point for Marcus to tinker with the contract. Jennifer simply smiled throughout the contract-signing process. Halle looked at Andrius, feeling proud. Only Jude was stunned as if a bolt of lightning struck him. He looked at the scene with utmost disbelief. Was Andrius not from the mountains? Wasn’t he a nameless poor guy? How could he bring the mayor over with just one call? Why? How did he, Jude Carver, the young master of a large company, lose to a nameless guy from the mountains? He was defeated, completely. Therefore, since the family and Andrius were held up by the mayor’s arrival, Jude quickly left. He could not afford to stay any longer because he was afraid that
