“Babe.” Ian became arrogant again and went straight to Rainbow. reaching out to touch her face. “You have to drink with me today. Come with me...”Smack!Just then, Renault slapped the table and stood up with a cold smile. “You’re being too arrogant, kid. I’m the host today… Aren’t you disrespecting me too much by causing trouble here?”Ian tilted his head and looked at Renault with interest. “What? Are you trying to be the knight in shining armor? That’ll depend on if you’re capable or not. Go ahead. Tell me who you are.”Renault had always been the apple of the Conerys’ eyes. This was the first time someone disrespected him like that. He was instantly furious. His expression darkened, and his lips curled coldly. “Listen closely. I’m Renault Hill. I’m the commander of the Southern Warzone’s Reserve Forces!”Renault’s words immediately gave the children of the Conerys great courage, thus they became snobby again.“Hear that, kid?”They boasted unscrupulously, “He ate with the So
“What bullsh*t are you saying? Do you think I have a good temper?”Ian could not help but feel angry after being interrupted repeatedly. He pointed at Andrius and cursed. He was just about to tell his men to teach Andrius a lesson.Just then, his phone in his right pocket vibrated.Ian had three phones.One was for contacting his beauties, but he did not bring that phone today.One was for contacting his friends. He left that one in the car.One was for contacting his family members. He could ask for help during emergencies or receive important information. He kept that phone in his right pocket.Ian was willful but never got into trouble because he was careful.Now, the phone in his right pocket was ringing.Although Ian was very displeased, he took out his phone and looked at it.Then, his expression instantly changed.The message was simple. It was just a photo.The head of the Weaver family sent it to the family group chat.The message said that the photo was of the Wo
The Conerys could not figure it out.Beep, beep, beep...The abrupt noise was very loud in the room.Renault immediately took out his phone. When he saw the number, his heart could not help but tremble.It was a number from the military!In order to show off in front of everyone, Renault decisively pressed put the call on speakerphone.‘Hello, this is Commander Renault Hill.”“Hello. According to the latest development with the Spec Ops forces, you have been selected. Please arrive at the activity site of the Southern Warzone Spec Ops forces before 2 p.m. tomorrow.“Please be advised that the Wolf King will also be present to observe the Southern Warzone military. Be sure to be spirited and demonstrate the might of our Southern Warzone.”The Wolf King!The Wolf King was making an appearance!Renault could not help but raise his head proudly and respond enthusiastically, “Yes!”When he hung up the phone, the room instantly went into an uproar.“Congratulations, Officer Hill
A slender figure entered the room. It was Rainbow. She was instantly stunned when she saw Andrius. Andrius’ hands froze in the air as his body petrified. “Ahem…” He awkwardly cleared his throat and explained, “Luna isn’t sleeping properly, so… I just want to take off her jacket…” Rainbow’s mind was instantly flooded with thoughts. It seemed like Andrius and Luna must have done it, or else he would not be explaining it in such an awkward manner. If so, then Rainbow could not allow them to further develop their relationship! The tighter their relationship, the lesser the chance of divorce, meaning her odds of getting Andrius would be infinitely lower. “Allow me.” Rainbow went over. Andrius awkwardly stepped away, but after he regained his composure, he noticed something strange. Rainbow was awfully meticulous. She took Luna’s dirty jacket off, wiped her face with a warm towel, and brought her cousin to the bed before she wrapped her with a thick layer of blanket to cover
Andrius was completely petrified. No! He had to hold himself together and not fall for the woman’s deception! He took a deep breath and tried to calm his mind down. Pfft… Rainbow could not hold her laughter back at Andrius’ reaction. Fortunately, she was in a teasing mood since she too was afraid that Luna might catch them together doing something undesirable. A while later, Luna came back fresh with makeup. “It’s time.” Luna took the wild king ginseng and walked out of the room. “We must hurry to my grandmother’s celebration.” It was not exactly a huge celebration because only the Conerys were invited to gather in the main hall of the estate. Jane wore an auspicious red dress with an energetic aura and lively eyes as she sat in the center. Flanking her sides were her sons, Alec and Bernard, respectively. Then, there were her daughters, Luna’s aunts. Luna sat at the main table, representing her mother, and Andrius was beside her. The last two seats at the tabl
Renault became the center of attention. He was like the sun surrounded by planets. The Conerys did not forget to mock Andrius while they were flattering Renault. As for Luna, she was isolated by the family and no one was there to talk to her except for Rainbow. Only Rainbow knew Andrius’ true identity. She held her laughter back and signed at Andrius using her lip gestures, spelling, “He said he wants to invite you to our house!” Andrius simply smiled. After the bombardment of flattery, Alec brought out a beautiful box and gave it to Jane. “Mother, today is your 70th birthday. I don’t have anything valuable, but these are a part of gilded jade bangles. I want to give them to you on this special day. I wish you a healthy and long life and I wish our family is blessed with prosperity.” Jane accepted the box with all smiles. “Thank you, Alec. Thank you.” “Mother, this is my gift for you.” Bernard brought out a pearl necklace. Jane’s other daughters started to give her the
The Wolf King?! The Wolf King gave Luna the wild king ginseng? Luna’s words shocked everyone. The Wolf King! Who would keep calm in front of him? No one! However, the Conerys were baffled by why the Wolf King would have given her the wild king ginseng.It did not make sense. Not a bit! It was ridiculous and outrageous! Therefore, everyone refused to believe her. “Luna…” Alec grunted with displeasure. “You said the Wolf King gave you the wild king ginseng? So, you met him in person?” “Yeah! Come on, tell us!” “Tell us what he looks like. Renault will be meeting him in the afternoon!” The questions put Luna in a difficult position. She had no idea what the Wolf King looked like. She looked down. “I don’t know…” “You don’t know?!” Alec laughed out loud. “You don’t know, yet you said the Wolf King gave it to you? Who would believe you?” Luna argued, “It is from the Wolf King! He told the owner of the auction to give this to me!” Tsk! Alec continued contemptuo
“You, you…” Jane’s expression turned pale. Her finger pointing at Stephen was shaking violently. “W-what is the meaning of this?!” Coffins at her birthday? It was more of a curse than a present! Stephen grinned and explained, “Oh, it’s nothing. I just want the Conerys to completely disappear from the East River State!” Jane was afraid because they were outnumbered. She asked, “Why are you targeting my family?” “You should be asking those two.” Stephen narrowed his eyes dangerously as he pointed at Andrius and Luna. Jane was shocked. Her expression instantly turned grim as she bellowed, “Luna, Andrius, what did you two do to make this man this angry?” Andrius pointed at the wild king ginseng on the floor and said, “He tried to bid against the Wolf King during the auction yesterday.” His words shocked every one of the Conerys. “Bidded for the wild king ginseng?” “So, the wild king ginseng is real?” “Luna really got a 500-million wild king ginseng?!” However, the s
