Soon, it was time for the opening ceremony to start. The emcee went on stage and announced, “Now, let us begin the opening ceremony for Celestial Enterprise!” Sonia, who was the person in charge of the company, went on stage and started the opening ceremony. Click! Click! Click! Shutters snapped ceaselessly as the reporters took pictures of her on stage, capturing a historic moment for the company. Celestial Enterprise started off strong. It contained all the assets and businesses of the Millers and the Crestfalls. In addition to the Timberlands’ own resources, it became a behemoth in the industry. It would surely affect the economy of Sumeria, or even the entire East River State, in the future. “Ms. Timberland!” “What are your thoughts on including the Timberlands’ business into Celestial Enterprise?” “Ms. Timberland!” “What are your plans for the next five to ten years?” “Ms. Timberland!” “Are the Timberlands the backbone of Celestial Enterprise?” The reporter
The audience and reporters had no idea what happened but the thugs were mortified. They were notorious men themselves and they knew exactly what the red dots meant. The red dots from a sniper! They were all under multiple snipers’ crosshairs! Any unusual movement and the snipers would certainly put a bullet through their skulls! The thugs were bullies of the city, but with that many red dots aimed at their heads, their temper and arrogance were replaced by obedience and timidity. Fwoosh! A company of soldiers came from all directions, armed with weapons that were loaded with real bullets, and surrounded the thugs immediately. Thump! All the thugs were horrified. They fell to their knees and put their hands above their heads without a second thought. “We’re sorry!” “We were wrong!” “Please don’t kill us! We were under orders!” Everyone was horrified. Some wet their pants, some kowtowed repeatedly, begging for their lives, and some cried excruciatingly even thou
Did Celestial Enterprise have the support of the military? After the reporter left, Mr. Longman contacted his superior, Dean Mitchell, the chairman of Simon-Tooke, to inform him what happened. “The military?” Dean was unfazed after learning what happened. He scoffed and said, “Is this why Celestial Enterprise has the nerves to compete against us?” “Longman, you don’t need to be afraid. It’s common to have a military background nowadays. I will take the first plane to Sumeria after I am done with my business here. “The whole of Sumeria and the East River State saw what happened this time. Celestial Enterprise boldly stands against Simon-Tooke. If we don’t teach them a lesson, any Tom, Dick and Harry in the future might stand in the way of Simon-Tooke!” Dean sounded exceptionally frosty on the phone. Mr. Longman was overwhelmed with joy. If Simon-Tooke also had the support of the military, he did not need to be so concerned or afraid. Breathing a sigh of relief, he asked
Luna smiled. It cheered her up thinking about it. University graduates usually had high hopes for the future. They were passionate, ambitious, and energetic. Without insisting, Luna said, “It’s a good thing that you want to step out and give things a try, but I have a lot to do now, I can’t leave. Why don’t I ask your cousin-in-law to bring you around? At least, you don’t have to worry about getting duped.” Cousin-in-law? Rainbow immediately thought of Andrius and Noir. She still had the picture with Noir on her phone. She nodded happily. “Yes! Of course!” Luna then called Andrius, asking, “Andrius, where are you now?” “I’m… drinking. What’s wrong?” Andrius was on his electric bike, riding towards Noir’s garage for a few glasses. “Why are you drinking at this hour? Stop it.” Luna sighed helplessly. “Rainbow is here and she wants me to help her find a job. I want you to take my place and bring her around.” Andrius was then forced to make a U-turn back to New Moon C
Meanwhile, in the meeting room, the interviewer cum recruiter, Javier Rosstrum, pushed the resume back to the interviewee and said to her, “Jess, you lack working experience, but Celestial Enterprise prioritizes personal skills. I wonder if you have any outstanding skills.” The interviewee, Jess, pondered in silence for a moment before she shook her head. “I’m a fresh grad. What kind of skills are you looking for?” “A fresh grad, eh…” Javier sighed pitifully. He reached out to Jess’ hand on the table. “Then, I would like to see how far you are willing to go. How about your sincerity?” Sincerity? Seeing the perverted look on Javier, Jess knew what was going on instantly. She looked down but she moved her hand forward. She said shyly, “What kind of sincerity?” “That kind of sincerity…” Javier touched her hand as the lust in him went out of control. It was soft! It was smooth! The taste of youth! Bang! It was then Andrius kicked the door open and stormed into the meeting
However, it was not security but Sonia. She had heard the commotion from outside the room and heard Javier’s shouts. Knowing that Andrius was in the room, she was not particularly in a bright mood. Andrius looked at Sonia and asked coldly, “Sonia, what is the company’s policy on someone abusing their authority, harassing the interviewee, and tainting the office with his filthy actions?” Sonia glanced around after hearing Andrius' question, and she immediately knew what just happened. Her expression turned gloomy. Before she could say a word, Javier shouted, “What nonsense is this?” He pointed at Rainbow and shouted, “It is this girl here who tried to seduce me for the position…” Slap! Before he could finish, Sonia slapped him on the face. “Open your damned eyes and look properly. This man here is the big boss behind Celestial Enterprise!” Sonia’s eyes were as cold as ice and she was fuming. Her words shocked everyone. Andrius? The young man who looked shabby was t
The confirmation from Sonia sounded like a clap of thunder in Rainbow’s ears, causing her head to buzz ceaselessly. She was a fan of military stuff and soldiers. Out of all her idols, the Wolf King of the Western Frontline was the strongest, and his name and the Lycantroops alone would frighten the enemies away. The Wolf King was the hero of heroes, the War God of war gods, and she idolized and admired him the most. Now, she learned that Andrius, her cousin-in-law, was the Wolf King that commanded a million Lycantroops! It was unbelievable! Sonia confirmed it, and she heard it with her own ears. Otherwise, she would never believe it. “Andrius, Wolf King… Wolf King, Andrius…” Rainbow shook her head repeatedly as she muttered like a starstruck fan. She immediately recalled multiple events in the past. When she came to Sumeria to continue her studies, Andrius had given Noir a glance, and Noir had agreed to take a picture with her. He even posed multiple times for her to ta
Andrius rolled his eyes at the girl. He said, “You can take pictures of me, but keep them to yourself. Don’t simply go around and announce my identity.” “Huh?” Rainbow froze for a few seconds before she stared at Andrius confusedly with her crystal-clear eyes. “Why?” “I don’t want other people finding out my identity.” “Oh…” Rainbow understood the importance of secrecy. After all, the Wolf King’s name was the only thing known about him; there was almost no other personal information circulating around the world. She could not just expose her cousin-in-law’s identity just because she wanted to brag. If she admired the Wolf King, she had to respect him. “Aye, aye, sir!” Rainbow saluted Andrius as if she was a soldier and said, “I will not leak a single word about your identity to anyone. I will only keep the pictures to myself!” Andrius laughed. She sure was an interesting one. After giving her affirmation, Rainbow thought of something and continued to ask, “Andrius, do
