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
The security captain stared at Andrius with a baffled look. “Who are you?” “I am a soldier from the Western Frontline.” Andrius then helplessly explained, “Your system doesn’t have clearance to access my information.” The security captain and his men exchanged suspicious glances. They found it difficult to believe Andrius’ words. “Nonsense!” Then, a loud and powerful voice came from outside the room. Dressed in a military uniform, a man with a belly came in. He was the superior of the security captain, the Chief of Security of the Railway Bureau, George Thompson. George looked at Andrius with disdain and ridiculed, “I have been the Chief of Security in the Railway Bureau for decades, and this is the first time I heard someone claim that our system does not have clearance to access information. I think you are the one with the problem here. Something about your identity smells fishy.” His eyes narrowed into two lines as he sized Andrius up with hostility. Then, he signal
No wonder the security guards failed to bring up Andrius’ information. No wonder Andrius could remain calm as a normal person with that many bullets in his body. Who else other than the Wolf King would possess such willpower and endurance? All the guards, who already respected the Wolf King, worshiped Andrius as if he were a god, except for George. Thump! George knelt down before Andrius immediately. He tried to extort money from the Wolf King and got mad because the Wolf King refused to comply! He even tried to hit the Wolf King! What a massive joke! “W-Wolf King…” George’s forehead was covered with sweat, and his lips were shaking as he stammered, “I-it was my mistake! I shouldn’t have acted recklessly! I was blinded by my own desires! Please, Wolf King, please let me go this time! I promise to turn over a new leaf!” He thumped his head on the ground, producing a loud thud with every knock. His forehead was swollen after a while, making him look wretched. He was unl
With the thought in mind, George immediately pulled his phone out and dialed a number nervously. “Amadeus, it’s me! George!” George’s lips were shaking when he spoke into the phone. “I somehow accidentally…” Right after the call got through, George informed Amadeus what happened. “What did you say? You…” Amadeus was furious when he heard George through the phone. “You tried to blackmail the Wolf King and want the soldiers to…” The man was fuming and could no longer continue calmly. George was audacious enough to try to silence the Wolf King. His action was punishable by death! “Y-you! It’s suicidal! You little piece of sh*t! How many times have I told you to not extort money or blackmail anyone? But you did not take my advice seriously! Now look what you've done!” Amadeus yelled at George through the phone while he tried to think of a solution. George was not just his relative, he was also with Dax, the Warzone Master of the Southern Warzone. If George was punished by d
