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
After lunch, Andrius played games on the office computer to kill time. Soon, the day was over and it was time to clock out. Fatty Frank attentively said, “Andrius, why don’t I give you a ride home?” “No thanks.” Andrius clocked out and headed to the parking lot. Luna drove her Mercedes today, and Athena was in the passenger seat. When Andrius got into the car, Luna started the car and drove out of the parking lot. Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the White Swan Hotel, where the Sumerian Business Guild annual dinner was held. Luna’s father, Harry, was already waiting at the entrance. “Athena, wait for us out here,” Luna said before she brought Andrius in with Harry. The White Swan Hotel banquet hall was the grandest in all of Sumeria. It was divided into three segments: the inner hall, the center hall, and the outer hall. There were three tables in the inner hall, six tables in the center hall, and nine tables in the outer hall. The tables were already filled
