“I’ll be there right away!” Andrius lost the mood to continue drinking. Noir bolted up as well. He grabbed the keys to a supercar and drove Andrius to Celestial Enterprise. Meanwhile, inside Sonia’s office, Norman paced around anxiously, looking worried. He looked older and more tired than before. Something must be bothering his mind. Beside him was another old woman who looked similarly tired. She was his wife, Mary Houser. “S-Sir!” As soon as Andrius walked in, the elderly couple knelt down immediately before him. “Sir, please help us! Save our granddaughter!” “Save Snow! We can forfeit the million-dollar compensation, but please save her!” Andrius gripped their arms immediately. “Mr. Houser, what happened? Calm down, and talk me through it. I’ll definitely help.” Worried, Norman looked at Andrius and said, “Our granddaughter, Snow, has just completed her Master's Degree and got a job, but…“The assistant manager of the company is a monster! He’s almost 50, but he se
The three of them arrived at the floor where Assistant Manager Lucci's office was located at Evergreen Inc. “Snow Houser?” The security guard held her back and stared at Andrius and Noir with a hostile gaze. “Why are you here with these two? Who are they?” “We are here to see Assistant Manager Lucci,” Andrius said. “Who are you? Do you think you can see Assistant Manager Lucci whenever you want?” The security guard disdainfully retorted at him before he looked at Snow with a wicked grin. “Snow, if you don’t agree to Assistant Manager Lucci’s terms, then don’t even think about seeing him!” He then pointed at Andrius and Noir, “And you two! Get the hell out of here! Stop…” Whack! Before he finished, Noir slapped him in the face, sending him flying and twirling in the air. White and red spewed out from his mouth as Noir knocked half of his teeth out with that slap. That was not the end of it though. When the security guard landed, Noir strode up to him and stepped on h
However, Hank refused to surrender after suffering a beating from Andrius. He grunted and said coldly, “Punk, you’re good with your fists, but it’s useless! Here in the cruel harsh society, influence, and status are all I need to destroy you! I am with Master Knight, Sean Knight! You either kill me with your fists here, or Master Knight will destroy you!” Master Knight? Sean Knight? The guy who had chased Sonia a while back? Andrius scoffed, “Your Master Knight is like a dog in front of me, and you are a dog’s dog. What gives you the courage to bark so loudly? I’ll give you the chance to call him here. We’ll see if he dares to speak to me in that manner.” Hank was indeed Sean’s dog, but it could only be said by Sean himself! Hank was furious when Andrius called him Sean’s dog. He called Sean immediately. “Master Knight! Hank Lucci calling! I’m in my office here in Evergreen Inc., and there are two little pieces of sh*t that just beat me up! I said I’m with you, but they i
Sean was prepared to lash out at the John Doe who disrespected him on his own turf. He prepared a lesson that the person would never forget. However, before he even opened his mouth, a familiar figure entered his sight. The figure felt so familiar, so grand and magnificent. It was Andrius, the Wolf King! Sean was shocked as if a bolt of lightning had struck him. His legs shuddered ceaselessly, and chills spread across his body, reaching his crown from his bottom. In less than half a second’s time, his forehead was covered in sweat. He came here to teach… the Wolf King a lesson?! Suicidal! It was suicidal! Sean swallowed multiple times, attempting to suppress the fear in his heart but it was useless. His heart pounded wildly, so wild that it almost burst out of his chest. “Master Knight! It’s him!” Hank was delighted when he saw his supporter at the door. He did not even care about the unusual look on Sean’s face. He then glared at Andrius viciously and bellowed, “
“Enough,” Andrius said, stopping Sean. Sean zipped his mouth immediately. His heart remained pounding as he drowned in anxiety. He knew the Wolf King was about to judge him. “I can spare you.” Andrius’ first sentence lifted a mountain from Sean’s shoulder. The Knights could be saved! However, what Andrius said next pushed Sean back into the abyss again. “But…” Andrius stared at Sean emotionlessly and said, “Ms. Houser here is the daughter of a deceased soldier, and your subordinate treated her poorly. Which means you disrespected the soldiers of Florence and challenged their dignity.” His words fueled Sean’s anxiety. Sean dared not make a noise. He lowered his head as he listened to Andrius' judgment, so low that he could bury his face in his crotch. He waited anxiously for the sentence. “Donate half of the Knights’ assets to the Martyrs’ Society as compensation, and we will call it a day,” Andrius spoke emotionlessly and indubitably. Sean was mortified. His eyes
“It’s not what you think…” Andrius flustered, he tried to explain but Luna did not want to listen. “You don’t need to explain.” She interrupted him and continued with a scoff, “I’m surprised. A poor guy from the mountains in the west is a playboy?” She grinned in a strange way. “I wonder…” Luna grinned and added, “If Lyra learned how well you manage your time and caught you seeing another girl, how heartbroken she would be?” She mocked and gloated at him. Andrius knew exactly what she meant. He explained, “Hear me out. I didn’t do anything wrong, I was sending Snow back…” “Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Luna clicked her tongue and ridiculed him, “You’re calling the girl Snow already? She kissed you, and you are still trying to deny it?” Luna sounded angry. Her disgust for Andrius grew deeper. “If this isn’t wrong, then what is? Must you wait until you both are naked on the bed? Pft! You disgust me!” The more she said, the worse it sounded. Andrius was rendered speechless, but he
“Huh?” Lyra was startled like a frightened rabbit when her grandfather saw through her secret. She shook her head repeatedly and denied it, “No! No! Grandfather, stop this! Don’t simply guess my thoughts!” Despite her denial, her face blushed. Dr. Artemis was an experienced man, and he knew exactly what Lyra’s reaction meant. He shook his head and sighed. “Life is short. It’s over before you realize it. You are young and beautiful, so why not take the leap of faith? Climb the mountain before you, chase your dream, and love someone. Don’t wait until you are old and weak like me. By then, all you can do is reminisce about the past and regret the decisions you did not make.” Dr. Artemis was once a handsome young man. Now, he was old and weak and all he could do was look back and sighed endlessly. Lyra understood her grandfather but not by much. If she liked him, she should take the leap of faith! Never live a life of regret! “I understand, Grandfather…” Lyra put her sh
Fwoosh! The loud beeps attracted all eyes to Andrius. Even Luna found it annoying. “You, over here.” The security guard noticed Andrius had removed all his personal belongings and put them on the plastic tray, yet the scanner beeped when it scanned him. He frowned and brought Andrius to the side for a second check. Beep! Beeeeep! The scanner beeped loudly again. The security guard frowned harder. He looked at Andrius cautiously and said, “Take off your jacket.” Andrius did as told. The security guard scanned him the third time, but the scanner continued to beep. “Put him through the X-ray,” said the security captain after he had a look at the situation. Andrius was brought to a bigger machine for a fourth scan. When the monitor displayed the scan results, the security guard behind the scanner gasped. He looked at Andrius in shock. “What’s wrong?” the captain asked. The security guard said, “He… He… has a lot of bullets in his body!” The words shocked the c
