The next day, Luna went to the office while Andrius attended the military parade which was held at a military base located near the suburbs. It was open to the public. It was not too far from the city center, only a twenty-minute journey on his electric bike. When Andrius arrived, the place was already bustling with people. Flags danced in the wind, and fireworks shot up into the sky. There was a whole line of expensive cars lining up at the entrance, all comprising invited guests from Sumeria who would attend the event. Some of them even had exclusive car plates like 0001 or 0002. Even the cheapest car in line was a Porsche. Almost all the influential figures attended the parade. Andrius parked his electric bike a hundred meters away from the entrance. At the entrance, before Andrius walked in, he heard a high-pitched voice filled with disgust talking beside him. “What the hell? Andrius Moonshade, can you not be a creep? Why are you here?” It was Wendy from the Rov
The man was the emcee of the parade, Mathias Bronsky. Mathias saluted Severus when he went up on stage. He then said loudly, “Sir, the preparation for the military parade is done. Your order, please.” Severus was already known by the citizens of Sumeria as the military governor. He stood up and saluted Mathias. Then, deafening applause sounded from the audience. A while later, Severus gestured at the crowd to silence them. The whole process took less than a second.This would be the reverence for the military governor! Severus glanced at the crowd before he said loudly, “Now, let us welcome the Wolf King to inspect the soldiers of Sumeria!” Applause sounded again and it lasted longer than before. Andrius strode up to the main stage and sat in the center. The seat was meticulously prepared. Severus had a few plants in front of the stage to stop the reporters from having a clear picture of Andrius’ face. The reporters could only see through the seams of the leaves and st
It was finally here! Wendy had been waiting for this moment for a while now. The moment that would change her life forever had finally arrived. She took a deep breath and walked out from the group of reporters. “Excuse me. Thank you!” Wendy announced loudly. She wished for the whole world to hear her because she was the one who would be conducting the exclusive interview with the Wolf King. The others were jealous and envious but unable to do anything about it. After all, she was the one going up on stage to interview the Wolf King. Moments later, Wendy sashayed up to the stage elegantly. As she walked closer to the center, she spotted the Wolf King but felt strange. The more she looked at him, the more he looked like Andrius. Impossible! How could it be? Wendy shook her head and discarded the outrageous thoughts from her mind. Andrius was just a man from the mountains. There was no way that he was the Wolf King. Wendy thought her nervousness made her hallucinate. S
The arrogance and pride that Wendy showed earlier were gone, now replaced by despair and humility as if she was an inferior being. When she started sobbing, Andrius roared, “Enough!” Startled, the woman shuddered and immediately stopped crying. “I’ll give you one last chance.” Andrius glared at Wendy coldly and said, “Go back and clarify everything, reveal the truth to the public. Then, get out of Sumeria. I want you to move to a town in the west and never come back for life.” It was similar to a death sentence for Wendy. A life of fame and wealth, reputation, and glory were all gone, shattered like broken glass in front of her. She would never get another chance in her life. Wendy sat on the floor, stunned. Her eyes had lost focus. Two soldiers went up and carried her by the arms to bring her away from the military base. “Wolf King, the Millers sure are audacious enough to target you. Please give your order on how you want us to deal with them,” Severus could not help
After the military parade, Andrius returned to New Moon Corporation. Before he could sit down, Danni came to Team Five’s office and said, “Mr. Moonshade, Ms. Crestfall wants to see you in her office.” Andrius headed to Luna’s office. Luna said when he came in, “Wendy Neal released a clarification video online. She has cleared your name and admitted that it was all fake. Have you seen it?” “Yeah.” “What was that about?” Luna’s beautiful eyes looked at Andrius’ face, attempting to find some clues to the incident. She clearly remembered him telling her yesterday not to worry and that he would deal with it. Today, Wendy released the clarification video. It was strange, and she could not help but overthink. Andrius said, “She offended the Wolf King at the military parade, and he gave her the final ultimatum. She has to clarify and admit to all the immoral acts that she has done. That’s why she released the video.” The Wolf King? Luna was surprised. When the Henderson
Luna wondered if the Miller brothers found out about Riverfront Entertainment’s movie becoming a hit, how would they react? The next day, both Riverfront Entertainment and the Millers’ own entertainment company released their movies under much anticipation. The movies of both companies sparked a heated discussion online, and many netizens paid close attention to their releases. They even waited online for the releases. When the movies were released, the netizens went to watch them as soon as possible. Carson spent a fortune to arrange his movie to be released ahead of Riverfront Entertainment’s so that it would give the audience an impression that the latter was the copycat, not them. Therefore, the netizens watched the Millers’ movie first. As soon as the first wave of reviews came out, things took a deep dive. The reviews fell off the cliff and the ratings hit a new low on respected movie review sites. It was a historical low for a movie of such genre. The critics did
Carson’s expression changed. Marcus had come in an untimely manner, and Carson had felt that something was not right. He wore a straight face and went out to welcome Marcus. “Mayor Freely, what brings you here?” “I have received a report that the Millers have illicitly sabotaged the Sumerian market recently. You have forcefully acquired more than two billion worth of assets in the city.” Marcus started at Carson coldly and listed down the crimes that he had committed. Then, he pulled out an enforcement order. “I hereby represent the city council of Sumeria to enforce an order on the Sumerian branch of the Miller Group based on the laws you have broken: coercion on trading and misappropriation of properties and assets. “First, all of the assets belonging to the Sumerian branch of the Miller Group are confiscated by the city council. “Second, the current Sumerian branch of the Miller Group has an estimated value of two billion, so a fine of double the value, which is fo
The group was trying to come up with a solution. “I think it’s workable.” Zane’s eyes glinted confidently and said, “We were once the pillars of Riverfront Entertainment. We were the company’s faces for a while. “The soldiers that Luna found for the movie are, at most, extras. There’s no way Riverfront Entertainment would focus on military genre movies. They have to expand into rom-coms and stuff, which is our forte!” Everyone was enlightened by Zane’s words. To them, the soldiers who acted in the movie were not professional actors. They might succeed in military movies but what about the other genres? These people were trained actors. “What are we waiting for? Let’s go to Luna!” “Yeah. Right now!” “Come on!” With that, the group headed to New Moon Corporation. Meanwhile, at New Moon Corporation, Luna was elated that the movie was a hit. The first movie that Riverfront Entertainment released after the change of ownership was a sell-out! It was a good sign! As
