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
The man’s name was Jeramie O’Conner, and he was upset. His father was Lacles O’Conner, the secret boss of the Grand Ocean Hotel. If Jeramie did not bully or oppress anyone, there would be peace, but now that a few juniors from another family bumped into him and raised their voices at him as a sign of disrespect, no one could tolerate it, especially someone like Jeramie. “Why are you guys standing there? Beat the sh*t out of them!” Jeramie glared at the juniors with a vicious grin and said, “If you guys don’t beat the sh*t out of these little sh*ts, I will beat the sh*t out of you people!” As soon as his voice subsided, several bodyguards went up and beat the juniors up. The Crestfall juniors were simply riding on Zenith’s coattails. They were incapable of defending themselves whatsoever, so the bodyguards beat them up well. They bled, their faces swelled, and some even wet their pants. The bodyguards then retreated behind Jeramie after beating the juniors up. “F*ck!”
“I’m sorry!” Jeramie’s heart was pounding as he bowed and apologized. “I was reckless! I made a mistake! I was wrong! I’m so sorry about this!” He might be bowing at Zenith, but he was actually apologizing to Andrius. He maintained his bowing posture and shouted at his bodyguards behind him, “Stop f*cking standing there! Apologize!” He was afraid! He was afraid that the Wolf King would level his hotel to the ground! “I’m sorry!” “We were reckless!” “Young Master Mangold, we were blinded!” The bodyguards had no idea what happened, but when they saw the fear on Jeramie’s face and the veins that popped up on his forehead when he shouted, they knew they were looking at someone powerful. Zenith was stunned. Since when did his name become so well-known? Nevertheless, it was a good thing. Since Jeramie surrendered, Zenith did not hold him responsible. He simply said, “Open your eyes wider next time. Not everyone is as well-mannered as me.” “Yes! Yes! Yes, sir!” Jeramie n
When Lacles returned to the Grand Ocean Hotel, he went to his safebox immediately. “Jeramie, are you sure the Wolf King is in Room 402?” “I am. I saw him go in myself!” Jeramie said with utmost confidence. “Alright.” Lacles nodded. He clenched his teeth and took the bottle of wine that he had kept for 20 years before heading to Room 402 himself. The atmosphere in Room 402 was lively and warm. “Young Master Mangold, you are the G.O.A.T.! You simply introduce your name and that stupid guy was so terrified he almost peed his pants! It’s hilarious!” “Of course! Young Master Mangold’s name is so powerful that even the government officers of Sumeria are afraid of him. They all came and helped us to solve the problem. It’s a waste of his talent just to frighten off some stupid guy like that!” “Young Master Mangold, you are the G.O.A.T.! Cheers!” Everyone in the family surrounded Zenith and flattered him with every word they could think of. They tried their best to make him rem
