The punishment was cruel. The Kerrs had worked hard for three generations to achieve where they were now and secure a position in the capital. Now, with the mistakes Timothy made, his family was about to lose half of it. Timothy looked dispirited and his eyes immediately lost focus. “What? You don’t want to give them up?” Andrius noticed Timothy’s silence. A hint of frosty glare flashed in his eyes. “Then, your family will be gone for good.” “No! No! No!” Timothy almost merged with the floor if he continued to lower himself any further. He nodded repeatedly and said, “Wolf King, I am! I am willing to donate half of my family’s assets!” Half of his family assets might be a heavy punishment, but he would still be able to keep the foundation his family built. If the Wolf King got angry and decided to go after his whole family, then he would be dead ten times over with no chance of making a comeback. “I guarantee it!” Timothy forced a willing expression on his face despite
“Her name is Luna Crestfall, linked to the Crestfalls of the capital, and also the CEO of New Moon Corporation. “She has a husband who comes from the mountains in the west, but judging from the news, I’d say she’s not getting along with her husband. “Also, she ran into some trouble lately. New Moon Corporation wants to venture into the medical field, but when they submitted their prescription to the Grand Medicinal Competition, Hydra Pharmaceuticals accused them of stealing. “She’s in a terrible state now and might face jail time. The Crestfalls are also having a hard time.” Fly’s report was detailed, and Zenith’s eyes lit up. A woman was always vulnerable in front of the face of a crisis. If he could use this situation to his advantage, he did not have to worry about Luna not falling for him. He already had an idea of how to start. …A Rolls Royce stopped in front of the gate of Dream’s Waterfront, with several other Bentleys behind it. Zenith came down from the car
Zenith was an eloquent person. He relied on his words and money alone to fool those girls abroad and bend them to his will. In addition to his romantic roses and temptation of money, no woman would be able to decline his sincere confession. However, Luna did not even talk to him. She fancied a man like the Wolf King, a powerful man who was on the top of the world, not some guy with an eloquent tongue who thought he knew a lot about women. He was incomparable to the Wolf King. “Luna, why the silence?” Harry signaled her with a glance after noticing her silence. He said softly, “Young Master Mangold is from the Mangolds, a rich family from the capital…” Before Harry could finish, a large group of people stormed into the house. George and Dick led the group of people, who were the rest of the Crestfalls, in.“Luna!” “The internet is laying waste on New Moon Corporation. We have lost all our reputation and your time is running out. I think you shouldn't rely on Andrius to
Press conference? Luna’s already exhausted face paled when she heard the news. Her body trembled in fear. She did not think that Zenith could have settled Timothy so quickly. There could only be one explanation. Hydra Pharmaceuticals wanted to escalate the matter to pressure the New Moon Corporation, forcing them to submit. “This…” “It’s over. Timothy Kerr has run out of patience!” “Hydra Pharmaceuticals is going to escalate the matter and put us in a more passive position.” The Crestfalls reacted poorly to the news. Colin stepped up and scoffed at Luna. “Luna, I told you to apologize to Mr. Kerr of Hydra Pharmaceuticals, yet you are dwelling in your fantasy… “Now he’s going to expose the matter before the media and what you did will soon be known by the world! You are shameless, but we are not! You dragged your entire family down because of this! You vile woman!” Colin’s words stabbed into Luna’s heart like a knife. It gave her a heartache. She was at a loss for
However, Zenith would never reveal the truth since he was being flattered and admired by the Crestfalls. He could use this chance to win Luna’s heart. Zenith was over the moon. He waved his hands and said casually, “It’s nothing. Don’t mention it. With my father’s word, Timothy Kerr won’t have the nerve to do anything. This is what he got for accusing Luna.” Following his words, the others echoed in agreement. “You’re right!” “The Mangolds are awesome!” “It’s in the bag!” “Young Master Mangold!” The family surrounded him as if they were planets and he was the sun, except for Dick and Colin. The two of them did not expect the sudden turn of events. Timothy had succumbed to pressure and exposed the two of them. Disaster was upon them. They were sweating profusely. Sweat as big as peas trickled down their cheeks and fell from their chins. “Dick, Colin!” Harry roared, “It’s you! You two leaked the prescription to Timothy Kerr and Hydra Pharmaceuticals!” He glared at t
Back at the Crestfall Manor, the family meeting continued. “Luna…” Belarus felt bad for his granddaughter. “You have suffered a lot because of this. From now on, I will put you in charge of the Medical Society’s project. You have full control over it.” “As for all of you…” Belarus then scanned over the others and warned them, “Never do or say anything that will divide us! Work together and bring New Moon Corporation to better heights.” No one dared to voice any disagreement after what happened to Dick and Colin. “I understand, Father.” “We will support Luna with everything we can.” “It’s our wish to bring the company to new heights.” Everyone nodded and adhered in agreement. Seeing their reaction, Belarus nodded in relief. He did not wish for something similar to happen again. “Father.” Harry then brought Zenith to Belarus, wanting to introduce the young man. “This is Zenith Mangold, the young master from the Mangolds from the capital. It was him that we were able to
Harry bellowed, “If you can’t do something, don’t brag about it. If not for Zenith taking care of Timothy, we would all have been in trouble!” Zenith? Andrius was surprised. He was the one who forced Timothy to surrender and hold the press conference, yet when he came back, Zenith became the one who gained all the credit. How shocking. “Are you Andrius Moonshade?” Zenith held great hostility towards Luna’s current husband, but when he thought of his family background, he felt superior. He stretched his hand out for a handshake. “Hi, I’m Zenith Mangold.” “Zenith Mangold?” Andrius did not shake his hand. He asked coldly, “Are you sure you are the one who solved the problem with Timothy Kerr?” Zenith looked at Andrius scornfully and said with contempt, “If not me, who else? You?” He knew that Timothy was afraid of someone else, not him. That particular person must be powerful, probably even more powerful than the Mangolds in the capital. Zenith had no idea who it was
It was afternoon. The closer Andrius was to the Grand Ocean Hotel, the worse the traffic was. Andrius parked the rental electric bike by the side and decided to travel on foot. Then, Luna called him. “Andrius! Where are you? We are already here at the hotel entrance!” “I…” “Don’t tell me that you are still not out of the house!” Luna, as always, never let Andrius finish his words and disrupted him. She presumptuously said, “I know what Zenith said might hurt your feelings, but he helped us deal with Timothy Kerr and cleared my name. He even saved the company. Out of respect and gratitude, you have to attend the dinner tonight!” Andrius was rendered speechless. He asked, “You really believe Zenith dealt with Timothy Kerr and Hydra Pharmaceuticals?” “Who else if not him? You?” Luna was obviously annoyed judging from her tone. She added, “When he made the call, I was there, and so was everyone else. We saw it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears. “After he hu
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!
