Should anything happen to Master Hempton in Sumeria, all of the political figures would lose their jobs. After a long and anxious wait, the doors to the ward finally opened. The group of political figures rushed inside and asked about his condition. “Master Hempton, are you feeling better now?” "I have some aged ginseng in my collection. I'll call my wife to bring it over for you." “Master Hempton, if you are feeling unwell, I’ll call my wife over to give you a massage.” Alfred simply smiled at their flattery. “Thank you for your kindness. I appreciate all of them.” A while later, the medical consultant came in with the records. All the political figures surrounded the doctor and asked anxiously, “How’s Master Hempton doing?” The doctor gave Alfred his medical records and said with a surprised look, “Master Hempton, the recurring condition that has troubled you for years is showing signs of recovery! This is a miracle!” Alfred looked at the medical records, and the
The name Castlerock Corporation surprised both Luna and her father. “Danni, what did you say?” Luna asked with furrowed brows. “Castlerock Corporation just sent us an invitation to the guild’s annual dinner!” Danni then put the invitation card on the desk. “The invitation to the Business Guild’s annual dinner?” Luna glanced at the invitation and was shocked. In previous years, Solomon had always found a way to keep them from attending the annual dinner, but this year, they received three invitation cards. What could have changed Castlerock Corporation’s mind? Harry held the invitation card in her hand and had a closer look at it. “There’s a stamp of the Business Guild on the invitation. It can’t be wrong.” Luna pondered for a moment before she asked, “Danni, did the representative from Castlerock Corporation say anything when they delivered the invitations?” “Yeah. The person who came by had a message from Mr. Solomon Stormbrew. He wants you to attend the annual dinner
“Got it.” A paunchy man in Team Five’s office hung up the phone. He lit a cigarette and took a strong puff before he looked at his team members. “Guys, Luna just called. She wants us to teach someone named Andrius Moonshade a lesson.” “Really? Hahaha!” “That punk must be really audacious to make Luna mad. We must teach him a lesson that he won’t ever forget.” “Nice. Let’s form a plan now.” The others echoed in excitement. Team Five of the Project Department was the infamous Trust Fund Team because they were children of the board members or high-ranking executives, yet none of them ever did anything properly. New Moon Corporation actually had a board meeting regarding these trust fund babies. The consensus was that they would rather spend money to keep them under control than let them go out to cause trouble. The fat man who was just talking to Luna on the phone was the team leader of the Trust Fund Team, Frank Cobalt, also known as Fatty Frank. A while later, knocks
Andrius picked up the glass and finished the liquor in one go. Fatty Frank and the others urged him. “Not bad, but there are nineteen more. Take your time.” People who were good at drinking were usually of age. Andrius was only in his 30s, so it was impossible for him to drink twenty glasses of strong liquor in one go. “Open your eyes and take a good look.” Andrius then took another glass and drained it within three short seconds. The liquor had an extremely high alcohol percentage. However, he looked fine after drinking two shots consecutively. Under Fatty Frank and the trust fund babies’ excited gazes, he reached out for the third glass. Andrius did not even pause when he drank the fourth. It happened so smoothly and naturally as if he was drinking water. “Four!” “Five!” “Six!” -“Nineteen!” “Twenty!” Soon, Andrius finished all twenty shots on the table. As he drained the last one to the final drop, he slammed it on the table with a loud thunk. Fatty Fran
“What if I don’t want to drink?” Andrius glared at everyone present coldly. “Don’t want to drink?” Fatty Frank scoffed and then looked at the man beside him. “Pip, remind me, what happened to the last guy who didn’t do as he was told?” Pip simply said, “That guy is now a carpet in my house. Furry on one side, naked on the other. My friends thought I got a lousy bear rug.” Fatty Frank then asked another man, “Denson, how about the other guy? What happened to him now?” “Well, I haven’t heard from him in the afterlife.” The man then replied with a question of his own, “Fatty Frank, how about that guy who didn’t listen to you?” “Me?” Fatty Frank looked at Andrius and raised his voice, “I’m merciful. I put him into a bottle, soaked him with formalin, and offered his body to the university for research purposes.” Threats! Brazen threats! Andrius simply ignored them and wanted to leave the room when suddenly, the door flew open with a loud thud.Startled, everyone looked at the
Everyone turned around and saw Fatty Frank standing up. As though Angel saw a beacon of hope, she screamed, “Fatty Frank, save me!” “What are you going to do about, Fatso?!” Lothar linked his fingers and cracked them. The loud pops from the joints of his fingers made Fatty Frank flinch. “Lothar, let’s talk.” Fatty Frank bit the bullet and decided to negotiate with the man. He went up to him with a flattering expression and said, “We are all from New Moon Corporation. We can pay…” “What if I don’t want your money? I just want her today,” Lothar said. Fatty Frank’s expression turned bitter. “Lothar, please…” Thud! Lothar landed a kick on Fatty Frank’s stomach. Fatty Frank’s 100-kilogram body was kicked away like a ragdoll, crashing onto the table. The seemingly sturdy table broke into pieces upon impact. Fatty Frank struggled to get up while he coughed blood out of his mouth. Lothar did not hold back with his kick at all. Had Fatty Frank been any thinner, bleeding wou
The notorious Racer Gang leader was on his knees! He was actually kneeling before Andrius! The whole room was so silent that everyone’s pounding heartbeats could be heard. No one understood what just happened. Amidst their astonished gazes, Andrius stated, “I remember you. You were beside Jamire that night…” When he heard Andrius, Lothar forced a bitter smile on his face. He had been there when Jamire summoned his men at the Northern Point construction site to confront Andrius. He had witnessed the Lycantroops marching on them and the hundred tractors leveling the entire construction site to the ground. From that night onwards, Lothar had branded Andrius’ face in his mind so that he would never cross paths with the devil again. Now, the devil just declared that he remembered him. What else was more terrifying than that? Lothar gulped nervously. He roared, “On your knees!” He held the most power in the Racer Gang, so obviously, no one in the gang dared to disobey him.
Andrius nodded and feigned indifference. He just wanted to repay his master’s debt as soon as possible so that he could return to the Western Frontline. Women were indeed more difficult to deal with than the enemies of the country. He would rather throw himself on the battlefield to kill enemies than handle Luna’s unreasonable requests. Seeing Andrius’ quiet and timid reaction, Luna was satisfied with the outcome. “Andrius, don’t go anywhere tomorrow night. I want you to accompany me to dinner.” “What dinner?” Andrius asked. Luna glanced at him and said honestly, “Tomorrow is the Sumerian Business Guild’s annual dinner. Deputy Minister Alfred Hempton from East River State’s Ministry of Finance will be attending.” Andrius hummed a reply. Since he had a couple of drinks, he reeked of alcohol. He had a comfortable bath before he returned to his room and called Noir. “Noir, check out Alfred Hempton for me.” “Andy, Alfred Hempton is just a small fry, why do you want to know
Noir immediately checked the life token.It was unbroken!This meant that Andrius was still alive, and he must have ascended to the Divine Realm.Noir was relieved.Remembering his responsibility to protect Luna, he exchanged a glance with Halle, Kate, and the others before quietly leaving.Not long after, a group arrived at the Immortal Demon Palace and began their cultivation, striving to ascend to the Divine Realm as soon as possible.In an ancient and desolate location, there were grand halls, statues of fierce beasts that still seemed lifelike despite the passage of time, sky-piercing pillars, and a sea of clouds...Everything looked majestic and awe-inspiring.However, it was eerily silent, like a dead land devoid of life.Until...Whoosh!A ray of light suddenly shot from the distance, moving at an unimaginable speed and entering the soul control orb at the center of the great hall.Then, a soul apparition started to form.It was none other than Andrius.He looked
Andrius’ condition was pretty bad.He thought that with his current realm and strength, he could handle the divine tribulation and successfully ascend to the Divine Realm.However, the strength of the divine tribulation far exceeded his expectations.He seemed to have easily dealt with the first strike.In reality, the moment the divine lightning struck his palm, the destructive force within it surged through his meridians and directly attacked his soul.As expected of the divine tribulation.So, Andrius did not dare to be careless anymore and immediately gathered his immortal essence to resist.However, that was just the beginning.Each divine bolt was stronger than the last, and their deafening sounds and unstoppable destructive power left Andrius in agony.The tribulation cloud showed no signs of dissipating, too. Instead, it grew even darker and heavier, pressing down on everyone until they could not breathe.Rumble—Crackle—The thunder rumbled relentlessly, and the li
If his true form was destroyed and his soul dispersed, the life token would shatter.That would be how Noir and the others would know about his situation.For the rest of his time, since short-term improvements were difficult at his level, he did not cultivate. However, Andrius meditated every day to calm his mind and clear his thoughts.Soon, three months passed.Sensing the increasingly intense presence of the tribulation, Andrius did not hide anymore and removed the effect of the Primordial Unity Pearl that was concealing his aura.Whoosh...An immense power surged forth, and massive tribulation clouds soon formed in the sky.At that moment, Andrius sat on top of a desolate mountain.A large crowd had gathered in the distance.It had been many years since anyone in the Immortal Realm had attempted the divine tribulation. Furthermore, Andrius had deliberately invited many people to witness the event to broaden the influence of the Lunarius Alliance.“Hiss... As expected of
Andrius chuckled. “It’s not that serious. I already have a plan.”“Tell me, Andy.”“I have an extraordinary treasure. The treasure itself contains its own independent space filled with countless treasures and living beings. Furthermore, the spiritual energy inside is ten, a hundred times richer than the outside world. I plan to entrust this treasure to you. Carve out a secluded area within it for Luna to recover.”Andrius slowly explained.The extraordinary treasure he spoke of was none other than the Immortal Demon Palace.With his current strength, crossing the divine tribulation would not be a problem.The Immortal Demon Palace was an independent realm constructed by the beings of the Divine Realm. Even figures like Cedric, the Blood Demon King, the Hidden Monarch, and the others had no choice but to follow its rules.Hiding Luna inside would ensure her safety.Of course, there was a small problem. If Andrius perished in the Divine Realm, as the owner of the Immortal Demon P
It was as if the dragon soul had always been part of his body.“How strange...”Andrius muttered to himself and continued to observe.Nothing happened.The dragon soul quickly integrated into his own without any further events.It only gave Andrius a vague sense of completeness, like something had filled a gap within him.It was a mysterious and eerie feeling.Swoosh...After the dragon soul left, the massive dragon bones collapsed, turning into a pile of white ash on the ground.It was clear that the dragon bones were preserved until now solely because of the dragon soul’s presence.“Forget it.”Seeing that the matter was settled, Andrius did not dwell on it.After glancing around and finding nothing unusual, he steadied himself, walked outside, and began thinking about his next move.“Andy!”“Wolf King!”“Andrius!”As soon as they saw Andrius, Noir, Halle, Kate, and the others rushed to him.While Andrius was absorbing the dragon soul, Noir had filled them in on the
Whoosh...Just as Andrius sent a wisp of his divine sense to investigate, an apparition suddenly emerged from the dragon bones.It was vague and ethereal, yet exuded a powerful aura.Gradually, it took the shape of a dragon.Andrius raised his brows. He was not surprised, though, let alone afraid.He looked at the dragon apparition, who looked back at him.Soon, the dragon apparition spoke in confusion, “Young man, I smell an extraordinary aura on you.”Smell...Many thoughts flashed through Andrius’ mind.What could a dragon find extraordinary? Perhaps it was the scent of the Divine Realm or the Void Thunder Dragon. Could it be the Divine Realm phoenix?The next second, the dragon asked, “Are you a descendant of the phoenix?”Andrius casually raised his hand, and a wisp of flame appeared at his fingertips. It was the phoenix’s true flame.“I knew it!”The dragon apparition trembled slightly.Then, its enormous eyes showed a trace of sorrow.Andrius frowned, sensing some
The remaining power of Andrius’ punch slammed into the man’s head viciously, like a hammer smashing a watermelon, splattering everywhere.“Hiss—”The captured cultivators could not help but gasp.Wow.Who was this guy? He was able to kill a mid-stage Aureate Immortal in just a single punch. Was he even human?Even Halle, Kate, and the others were dumbfounded.It had not been long since they last saw him, but he had already grown to be this powerful. It was completely unbelievable.The members of Dragon Immortal Sect were shocked and terrified.He was too strong!Even the sect leader was killed in one punch. They would be serving themselves up on a silver platter.At that moment, everyone kneeled.“Please have mercy!”“Please spare us.”It was the sect leader who ordered us to do this...”They groveled repeatedly, banging their heads until they bled. Though they did not dare stop.What was begging as long as they could live?However, Andrius’ words threw them into despai
“Andrius!”“Wolf King!”The group was instantly overjoyed when they saw Andrius.They soon snapped back to their senses, though. This was the heart of Dragon Immortal Sect, and they were in the middle of a sacrificial ceremony.“Run!”“Andrius, leave now. Don’t worry about us!”“That’s right. Just avenge us later!”They knew Andrius was strong, but they did not know how strong.After all, Dragon Immortal Sect was a powerful sect, and the sect leader and Grand Elder were all gathered in the hall.No matter how powerful Andrius was, he could not face off against so many opponents.Andrius could not help but laugh.However, before he could explain, Noir said solemnly, “Don’t worry. With Andy’s current strength, wiping them out will be as easy as slaughtering chickens.”Halle, Kate, and the others were stunned.Noir was extremely confident. Could Andrius have really become a great power in the Immortal Realm?While they were still in doubt...“It’s him!”The disciples immed
“It’s not a shame. As long as we awaken the true dragon’s soul, we can get any woman we want in the future.”“But it’s hard to find one that’s as beautiful and graceful...”The disciples drooled and spoke lewdly, but their actions were swift. They quickly restrained Halle and the others.Of course, they were not the only sacrifices.There were many other cultivators, even some powerful fiends and Demon Kings.“Let’s start!”In the center of the altar, Bernard saw that everyone was in place and gave the order.“Understood!”Everyone started to move.The disciples restrained Halle and the others firmly.The 108 core and elite disciples began channeling immortal essence, feeding it into Bernard’s body.In an instant, Bernard grew into a towering figure like a giant.It was one of his techniques.As he continuously chanted, the dragon bones in the center of the altar trembled slightly.It was clear he was trying to awaken the dragon.“No, I don’t want to die.”“You beasts!
