Luna’s baton taser sent Andrius back to the first floor. Looking at her bra on the floor and imagining Andrius’s perverted look, Luna instantly felt disgusted. She picked up her bra and threw it into the trash can before she returned to her room, slamming the door shut and locking it. Tossing and turning, Luna could not sleep for the entire night. Andrius, on the other hand, had a sound sleep. When he walked out of his room, he saw a man sitting in the living room. It was Luna’s father, Harry! Luna was beside him, looking utterly indifferent. Her coldness she emanated could keep anyone away. As soon as Andrius stepped out of the room, Harry bellowed, “Come over here!” Andrius went over and sat down opposite the man. Slam! Harry slammed the tea table in front of him and snarled, “You little prick, how dare you!” “Uncle Harry, listen to me. There was a misunderstanding about last night…” Before Andrius could finish, Luna interrupted, “I saw it with my own eyes! Wh
“Hmmm…” Andrius took the menu and started browsing. Axel noticed Andrius reading the menu with a serious, somewhat baffled look and was secretly delighted. The hotel was one of the best French restaurants in the world. The chefs, the servers, and even the receptionist were all French, thus orders had to be made in French. A poor guy from the countryside was lucky enough to come in, let alone successfully order a meal here. Axel could already imagine the embarrassment that Andrius would face. With the clumsy hand gestures, the awkward pronunciation yet being unable to order a single thing off the menu, Andrius would be the funniest clown in the room! Axel then started to rush Andrius. “If you can’t understand, stop pretending. Don’t waste our time. Just go get something outside the hotel. It'd actually be a better choice.” “Hahaha…” His words amused the others in the room, and they all stared at Andrius with ridiculing gazes. Andrius looked back at them like they were
The race staff received the signal and prepared a Ford Mustang for Andrius. Axel sat on the hood of his Bugatti with a scornful expression. “Andrius, since you are new to this, I’ll let you have one lap first.” “No need.” Looking at the ‘toy car’, Andrius shook his head helplessly. “Let’s just get this over with.” Andrius’s frivolous attitude fueled Axel’s dissatisfaction. “Fine, if you’re ready, let’s get it going!” A sexy race girl in a bikini stood in front of the two cars with a racing flag. “Are you ready?“Set“Go!” As she waved the flag down, two cars sprinted off on the circuit. Vroom! The loud engine roars were sent off by the crowd’s passionate cheers. As the cheers got louder, the cars got faster. The audience turned to the big screen showing the live drone footage of the race. “Damn! Axel’s Bugatti acceleration is crazy fast!” “Of course!” “Axel is a professional racer, ranked second runner-up at the last Grand Prix. The best car that the poor gu
Vroom… The Mustang roared to life once again and sprinted towards the slopes. As the car approached the slopes, Axel stepped on the brakes, but it had been tampered with and was not working. Axel’s face turned pale as his car sprinted off the slopes. Bang! The tumbling and crashing echoed across the entire circuit. Those who heard and saw the car drive off the slopes were horrified. They shouted, “Call 911!” Later that night, Luna and Halle exited the hospital with frosty looks on their faces. Luna got into her car with Halle while Andrius got into the rear seat. After the car left the hospital, Luna stared into the rearview mirror and saw Andrius intently looking at his phone. Irritated by his frivolous attitude, she bellowed, “Andrius, go apologize to Axel tomorrow.” “Why?” Andrius was confused by her request. Luna continued coldly, “Because you tampered with the Mustang’s brakes and caused Axel’s crash.” “The brakes were already broken when I got the Must
As the minivan drove into Dream’s Waterfront, Andrius got out. Lyra waved at Andrius. “Bye. If you have the time, please visit my grandpa’s clinic. I’ll make you tea.” “Of course.” He arrived in front of Luna's door. Right before he knocked on it, the door opened. Luna pulled a long face and stared at Andrius, saying, “I have a curfew here. If you had been five minutes later, you would've been sleeping outside.” “It’s my first time in Sumeria, so I thought I would have a walk around the city,” Andrius said. “Come in.” Luna sat on the couch, crossing her slender and fair legs. Andrius was slightly stunned by the alluring scene. “Get up early tomorrow and follow me to my grandfather’s place. When we are there, I call the shots. You have no right and are in no position to say anything. Understand?” Luna warned Andrius sternly. “Mm-hmm,” Andrius simply hummed a reply. Luna got up and went upstairs. Right after she locked the door of her room, she received a call from he
Luna wound down the window and shouted at the minivans, “What is wrong with you people…” Before she could finish, the two minivans' doors opened, and eight masked men came out. Athena’s first response was to wind up the window. She then said to Luna, “Ms. Crestfall, stay in the car. Don’t come out.” Athena got out of the car and confronted the masked men. The leading masked man wielded a dagger, waving it in front of Athena. “Lady, our target is the girl in the car. If you don’t want to get hurt, leave.” “You and your little ragtag group?” Athena scanned them and curled her lips into a scornful grin. “Hmph! Don’t blame us!” The man thrust his dagger forward, aiming it at Athena’s weak point. Luna screamed out of shock at the scene. In the face of danger, she lost her usual calm and her pitch for a slightly higher one. It was eight versus one, and Athena was the underdog. Luna suddenly realized that Andrius was in the car. She cried, “Andrius, go down and help!” An
Luna glared at Andrius. She said in a vexed tone, “Andrius, you are just a nobody from the countryside. Can you stop talking nonsense?” Andrius drew a blank for a while before saying helplessly, “I’m telling the truth.” “Heh!” Luna scoffed before she went upstairs. After she witnessed Andrius’ cowardice earlier, the remaining fondness she had for him disappeared. To her, speaking a word to him was a waste of time. In the afternoon, Luna asked Halle out instead of going to the office. Halle had a wide connection in many different industries, so Luna decided to ask her for help. Andrius also went out. He went to Crestfall Manor to look for Master Crestfall and ask for a Revolution Memorial Medal. Master Crestfall was a veteran, so he had a medal that symbolized the revolution that he fought for. The medal would be the key to helping the Crestfalls win the Valiant Institute project! After getting the medal from Master Crestfall, Andrius left Crestfall Manor. He then called
Luna had already returned home when she received Halle’s call. “Halle? What’s the matter?” “Luna, have you really done a background check on Andrius?” she asked. “I did!” The mention of Andrius’ name disgusted Luna. “He’s some poor guy growing up in the countryside.” “But today, I saw him…” “Hold on!” Before Halle could finish, Luna interrupted her and said, “Axel has agreed to help us. I’m in a good mood now, so please don’t talk to me about him. It will ruin my day.” “Luna…” “Halle, I’m going to choose the evening gown for the event. I’ll talk to you later.” Luna then hung up the phone. When Andrius returned, Luna had already selected her gown and was doing a facial in the living room. As soon as she saw Andrius through the door, she frowned. She got up and went upstairs without saying a word. …On the next day, Luna woke up early in the morning to prepare the present for Mayor Freely. Andrius wanted to tell her that he had given a present to Marcus on behalf
