One man might be mistaken, but a whole bunch of rich men, some being the most influential figures in the capital? Luna’s own words might not be as convincing, especially when Decker, the state military governor, came all the way here. It was something worth pondering. Why would all of them fake it? “Luna, do you really know the Wolf King? Why didn’t you tell us earlier?” “Luna, I’m sorry that I offended you earlier. Please forgive me!” “My good niece, it’s been a while since we had a reunion. Why don’t you come to my place later tonight?” The family members finally regained their composure, and all of them started to flatter Luna to win favors. “Luna…” Jane got up from her seat and walked to Luna with a merciful smile. “How close are you with the Wolf King?” The others were intrigued as well. It was the million-dollar question that they wanted to know the most. “I…” Luna looked troubled. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know the Wolf King, but he’s helped me a
Andrius and Rainbow went in. The soldier closed the door without saying a word. Then, he hopped into the driver’s seat and drove off. …Back in the main hall, Renault looked at the time before he intentionally said goodbye to Luna and left for the military district. The limousine with the military flag came to a slow stop in the Southern Warzone’s military base. Andrius and Rainbow came down from the car. Further back at the entrance, Renault had just arrived and spotted the two of them. He was surprised because, from the back, the woman's figure resembled Rainbow’s. How? With the question in mind, Renault strode forward. As he got closer, he got a clearer glance at her face and realized that it was indeed Rainbow. Renault was stunned. He then looked at the man beside Rainbow. It was Andrius! The two of them were not soldiers and not related personnel, so how could they have gotten in? Renault was stunned on the spot and started pondering. He had heard from Ste
Andrius raised his brow and looked at Ace. “Who selected him to join the Spec Ops Forces? He’s weak, physically and mentally. His pressure tolerance is basically zero. Can he even go onto the battlefield? How can someone like him join the Spec Ops Forces?” He was not targeting Renault in particular, but Renault’s performance was disappointing. Any common soldier could do better than him. Andrius was rather annoyed. Decker was fuming already, and so were the other members of the Spec Ops Forces. Renault’s poor performance did not only reflect on himself, but it also affected the entire Spec Ops Forces’ reputation and disgraced the entire Southern Warzone. Even Rainbow had a hint of contempt on her beautiful face. How dare Renault speak so loudly in front of her family with that weak mentality? As the captain, Ace thought of giving his best performance in front of the Wolf King, but Renault’s poor performance ruined his plans. His expression turned grim immediately. He turn
The Spec Ops Forces members from the right and left were flung away easily. As soon as the formation was disrupted, the spar was over. Ace, Decker, and the Spec Ops Forces members did not expect the spar to end so quickly and so thoroughly. They were all devastated and stunned on the spot. It was not Rainbow’s first time seeing Andrius in action, but she was still stunned and fascinated by his clean and unpredictable moves. It was considered eye candy to her. Andrius said, “The formation is strong, but individually, you guys are too weak. It’s only a matter of time before you face defeat in front of absolute strength.” Then, he grabbed Rainbow, who was still dumbfounded, and left. A while later, Ace regained his composure and looked in the direction where Andrius walked away. He sighed emotionally and exclaimed, “As expected of the No. 1 soldier of Florence. In a single move, he easily destroyed the formation that we practiced for so long. I’m impressed.” Although he soun
The two servants holding Renault felt the sudden dead weight. He collapsed onto the floor just like that. Not even the two servants could hold him up. “Renault!” “My dear!” The Conerys were shocked. They all went up to him, pushed the servants away, and helped him up themselves. They patted his back and massaged his philtrum. Someone went to grab a glass of warm water for him. The entire family was in an anxious mess. Everyone was all over the place. After a while, although everyone was exhausted, they managed to keep Renault from passing out. Renault caught a breath of relief, but when he saw Andrius’ disgust in his eyes, he immediately thought of Andrius’ true identity. “Uh… Uh…” His eyes rolled back and almost passed out again. Andrius was speechless. He said emotionlessly, “Aren’t you a member of the Spec Ops Forces of the Southern Warzone? You’re so weak! Where are your guts? Can’t you look more alive? Stop passing out!” He spoke with the utmost contempt. Ste
“Huh?” “What?!” “Oh…” The Conerys were disappointed. Jane and Alec returned to their seats, leaving Stella by Renault’s side. Stella refused to give up the last bit of hope. Renault was chosen to join the Spec Ops Forces because of his capabilities. If he had the chance, he might be able to make a comeback. Then, Renault would appreciate Stella for encouraging him and staying by his side in his darkest days. He would only love her move and it would make her dream of being a general’s wife a reality. With that, Stella decided to bite the bullet and went over to Luna. She said humbly, “Luna, I was ignorant. I apologize for my attitude. I’m sorry, but you are still one of us, so please help Renault. You wouldn’t want to see him like this either, right?” Luna was caught off guard by the question. What? Since when was she involved in this? Confused, she asked, “Stella, what are you trying to say?” “Well, you are the Wolf Queen!” Stella looked inspired as she explaine
Luna felt extremely helpless. She was forced to agree. “If I see the Wolf King, I will let him know.” “That’s great!” Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. The Wolf King was a lot stronger than a Spec Ops Forces member, but the Wolf King’s name alone felt distant and surreal, to the point that he was like a myth to most people. Renault, on the other hand, was in front of them. Therefore, Jane and the others chose to help Renault to secure his position rather than invest all their hopes in Luna because she was favored by the mythical Wolf King. They could not just abandon Renault like that. Renault’s incident brought everyone’s mood down for the day. After dinner, Luna was thinking about the Wolf King and Andrius. She was under the brainwashing effect of Jane and the others. Now, her head was in a mess. “Grandmother, Uncle…” Luna took a deep breath and said, “You guys continue. I’m going out for some air.” No one said a word or stopped her. They even hoped that the
Luna somehow wandered to Astral Auction House without realizing it. Since the auction owner said the Wolf King gave her the wild king ginseng, he must know something about the Wolf King. She came here to find out more about this mysterious man. “Ms. Crestfall!” Taylor, the secretary, saw Luna and invited her in. A while later, the owner, Joel came out with a wide smile on his face. “Mr. Smith.” Luna skipped the chatters and asked, “You said that the Wolf King gave me the wild king ginseng. Can you give me his contact information?” “Huh?” Joel was stunned. The Wolf King had been right beside her that day. Based on what he knew, the two of them were husband and wife. With that thought in mind, Joel was struck with a realization—Luna was unaware of the Wolf King’s true identity, hence her presence. If the Wolf King chose to hide his identity, should Joel leak his identity, he would suffer grave consequences. “Actually…” The thoughts flashed in his mind as arranged his
