Luna frowned. She sniffed the air before she looked at Athena with a confused look. She was not a soldier, so there was no way for her to determine what smell it was. Andrius simply came up with an excuse. “Maybe I passed by the market earlier and got some chicken blood on my shoes.” “I suppose so.” Athena recalled Andrius’ disappearance when they were attacked by the eight men. If he was already terrified by a small group of attackers, how would he have the courage to kill someone or worse? Andrius breathed a sigh of relief. He did not want Luna to learn his true identity to save himself the trouble. After Luna and Athena left, Andrius went looking for Noir at Noir’s Workshop instead of going into the office. The workshop was Noir’s cover in Sumeria. He served as a technical instructor in the army before he was the captain of the Shadow Wolves. He could fix tanks on land, jets in the sky, aircraft carriers, and submarines in the water. He was probably one of the best mecha
“Uhm…” Andrius snuck a gaze at Noir. He then said loudly, “Captain, I have been here the entire morning.” “Yes, yes, captain. He’s been here the entire morning,” Noir echoed. “Andy came here to have a chat with me, and we’ve been talking since this morning.” “Are you sure?” “I am.” Noir nodded. Noelle pondered deeply. While the Dragon Gang was being annihilated at the bar, she was there, but she had been unconscious. Right before she passed out, she saw someone that resembled Andrius coming in. That was why she came to Andrius as soon as she recovered. However, she did not have enough evidence to prove it was him. “You'd better not cross the line or commit a crime. If not, not even Marcus Freely can save you,” Noelle warned Andrius before she got into her cruiser and left. Noir sighed. “Marcus’ daughter is really fearless. Why is she poking her nose into this?” “As long as she’s happy.” Andrius helplessly continued, “Three months later, we’ll be out of Sumeria a
The Northern Point construction site was located at the Northern Industrial Park of the city. New Moon Corporation was the contractor, and the developer was Mystic Woods Group. The chairman of Mystic Wood Group, Hendrick Mysticwood, accepted benefits from Castlerock Corporation’s Solomon to go against New Moon Corporation. In Mystic Woods Group's office, the chairman, Hendrick, dialed Solomon’s number. “Mr. Stormbrew, it’s me, Hendrick.” On the other end of the phone, Solomon asked, “Mr. Mysticwood, how’re things over there?” “New Moon Corporation wanted to close the projects here and collect all their funds. I’ve rejected it as you requested,” Hendrick said. “Hahaha. Nice one, Mr. Mysticwood. The funds I promise you will soon reach your account.” Solomon cackled. “Nice working with you!” Hendrick hung up the phone and started to smoke his expensive cigar. He tapped on his keyboard to bring up Luna’s picture on his computer. Looking at the beautiful woman on his scree
“Just wait! Third Master Ringstone will get you!” Andrius was not bothered by Hendrick’s threats. Five minutes went by. Hendrick glanced at his Rolex and scoffed coldly, “Punk, five minutes are up. You failed to level the Northern Point construction site. You’re dead meat!” “Men!” With Hendrick’s shout, the security guards waiting outside the room stormed in. “Get him! Take him to Third Master Ringstone!” The security guards rolled their sleeves up before they tried to apprehend Andrius. However, right before they could touch him, rumbling noises sounded outside the window, followed by the ground trembling. Hendrick and his men frowned. “What’s going on?” One of the security guards then said, “Sir, there are a lot of tractors outside!” “What?” Disheartened, Hendrick called his men to go out. “Go have a look!” The group of them ran outside and were shocked by what they saw. A number of tractors were outside the construction site. The smoke that their exhaust
Third Master Ringstone and his men were stunned by the armed Lycantroops. “W-what is going on?” “Why are there so many Lycantroops here?” While they were astonished, the Lycantroops entered formation and pointed their guns at Third Master Ringstone and his men. Cling! Clunk! Third Master Ringstone’s men were so terrified that their choppers fell onto the ground. A few cowardly ones even wet their pants. The men had dominated in the Sumerian underworld for many years and had committed so many atrocious crimes without the slightest remorse, yet they were terrified by the Lycantroops. Noir walked up to Andrius and saluted formally. Both Third Master Ringstone and Hendrick were flabbergasted because the Lycantroops were here because of Andrius! They had finally hit a snag after so long. Thud! Third Master Ringstone’s legs turned weak, and he fell to his knees. His men knelt down as well and lowered their heads, begging for mercy. Third Master Ringstone gulped nervou
It seemed like Andrius had to pay a visit to the Stormbrews. He said coldly to the kneeling Hendrick, “Deliver the remaining payment to New Moon Corporation tomorrow and finish up the work here, or I will have your head next.” “Yes, sir. Yes, sir! I will!” Hendrick dared not talk back. Losing money was not as terrible as losing his life, so he was grateful to be able to breathe for another day. Jamire nodded repeatedly as well. “Sir, I will make sure Hendrick apologizes to Ms. Crestfall tomorrow, and I promise that everything will go on smoothly.” The two of them lowered themselves in front of Andrius and dared not even look him in the eye. It was only after Andrius and his Lycantroops left that they helped each other up. As soon as Jamire got up on his feet, he slapped Hendrick and roared, “Hendrick, don’t you drag me into this anymore! If you can’t get Ms. Crestfall’s forgiveness tomorrow, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the sharks myself!” Hendrick dared
Hendrick immediately explained, “Ms. Crestfall, wait! It’s a misunderstanding! I was wrong to put you in a tough spot. I am sorry that I have offended you. The good sir has taught me a lesson last night. Please forgive me, I beg of you. “These are the funds for the Northern Point construction site. Not a penny less! Please have a look!” Hendrick waved his hand, and four bodyguards came over with briefcases that were filled with money. Hendrick then opened his own briefcase to pull out a document. “Ms. Crestfall, this is the land that New Moon Corporation offered to purchase the other day. I have told my men to make the necessary arrangements, and the ownership will be transferred to your company soon. Take it as a token of apology. “Ms. Crestfall, I hope I’ve done enough to make up for my mistakes. Please inform the good sir that I have done my part.” Hendrick held the document with both his hands and offered it to Luna who was completely dumbfounded. Hendrick had been arro
Solomon called Hendrick at the worst time possible. “Solomon, if you want to get yourself killed, be my guest, but don’t drag me into this sh*t! Don’t you ever come near me or I will strangle you myself, cut you into a million pieces, and feed you to the dogs. You piece of sh*t! I will not forget this!” Hendrick lashed out at Solomon through the phone. After burning all his bridges, he hung up. Solomon’s expression turned grim as the monotonous dial tone sounded in his ear. “Hendrick, you f*cker…” Furious, Solomon smashed the phone onto the table. The secretary tried to comfort him. “Sir, please calm down.” “I’ll calm your a*s down!” Solomon punched his desk with gritted teeth and bellowed, “Go find out what happened to Hendrick.” “Yes, sir.” The secretary sent some men out to investigate the matter and soon returned with an update. “Sir, the Northern Point construction site under Mystic Wood Corporation was leveled to the ground by a hundred bulldozers last night
