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
“My valued guests…” Lacles looked at Andrius with a sincere and eager smile. “I, Lacles O’Conner, am deeply grateful for your visit to the Grand Ocean Hotel. I am flattered. “To celebrate your precious arrival, I want to present this precious alcohol collection of mine. I hope everyone will like it.” Lacles then put the two bottles of limited-edition crown-shaped vodka in front of Andrius and Zenith. Then, the man secretly looked at Andrius. Andrius knew the man was presenting the vodkas to him, so he nodded to express his gratitude. Lacles was thrilled. He bowed and then said, “Please enjoy.” He then left the room in relief. Andrius might have resigned from the title of Wolf King, but his connections and background remained strong. What happened to Timothy Kerr was the best proof. A word from the Wolf King could determine one person’s life and death. After Lacles left, everyone in the room was excited. “Damn!” “Young Master Mangold, you are freaking awesome!” “
However, the capital was his territory, and in order to make himself look better, he picked this topic. “Yes.” Harry was surprised before realization struck his mind. The Mangolds were a wealthy family in the capital, thus Zenith must know a lot of famous doctors. If they could get Zenith to introduce one to them, they might be able to secure a good ranking in the Grand Medicinal Competition. They were not aiming for first place, but the forefront ranking would be enough to help the company boost its reputation and image in the medical field. They would also earn a massive profit from it. Harry then looked at Zenith eagerly and said, “Zenith, New Moon Corporation is confident about this, but we are a little late. We are not as well-resourced as other companies, so I’m afraid we might not secure a good ranking. I wonder… “Zenith, you must know a lot of people from the capital, don’t you? I wonder if you can introduce a couple of famous traditional doctors to us and guide us
Andrius sounded confident as he spewed out informative points one after another. The words struck Zenith at his weak spot. With each word that Andrius said, Zenith’s face got redder. In the end, his face was as red as an apple. He was deeply embarrassed. His lips opened and tried to argue, but no words came out. He stuttered but could not form a complete sentence. Then, the other family members of the Crestfalls stepped in, trying to defend Zenith. They could not allow Andrius to embarrass the person they worshiped and admired. “Andrius! What is a caveman like you talking about? You know nothing about traditional medicine!” “Andrius, do you really think you are so good? You are just good at bragging! Stop barking!” “Andrius, if you are that good, why didn’t you start your own clinic? You can’t, right? Then, shut up!” All of them criticized Andrius harshly without bothering to find out the truth. Andrius looked at them with a discouraged look. He got up and said, “I
Andrius looked at her in surprise. Curious, he asked, “Why? Aren’t you going back there?” “Why should I go back there?” Luna flipped her hair. The blush she got from drinking made her look charming. “All they do is flatter Zenith and brag. It’s boring.” “Alright.” Andrius nodded and got into the driver’s seat; Luna got into the passenger’s seat. He asked, “Where to?” Luna said without a second thought, “Lunen Mountain.” Vroom! The car blasted off and soon disappeared at the end of the street. Lunen Mountain was located in the western suburbs of the city, almost 20 kilometers away from the city center. It was an hour's journey by car. “We’re here.” Andrius stopped the car by the road and wound down the window. What he saw lit up his eyes. Lush trees were everywhere. The air was filled with an unknown fragrance of some flower that tasted sweet. The comfortable breeze was like the music that the flowers and leaves danced along to. It was refreshing and relaxing. Cr
