This news must be fake!"Andrius..."Luna snapped back to her senses. Her charming face flickered with indistinct emotions, including shock and endless fear.How could Andrius dare to assault a princess?How could he?!Before she finished speaking, Rainbow interrupted her. "Luna, this must be a misunderstanding. Andy would never do something this morally reprehensible."Her tone was resolute. It was as if the news was the most absurd thing in the world.Luna glanced at Rainbow but remained silent, pursing her lips. It seemed that Rainbow had been poisoned too deeply. She was beyond a cure."That's right!" Renault said bluntly, "From what I know about Andrius, he's not that kind of person. It's impossible for him to do such a thing. There must be a deep misunderstanding or a huge conspiracy behind this incident!"Their explanations made the Conerys burst into laughter."A misunderstanding? Conspiracy? You two are overestimating Andrius." Alec could not help but say, "Who would
Jane observed the changes in Luna's expression and knew that the latter was wavering. She continued, "You must quickly settle things with Andrius and sever all ties to him for the sake of safety!""I..."For some reason, Luna's mind suddenly recalled all the good things about Andrius.When he stood up for others, when he went against the crowd, and the passionate confession during the concert...All those scenes flashed in her mind like a movie.Luna was at a loss."I... Grandma, let me think about this a little longer." Luna did not know what was wrong with her either. She just felt like her thoughts were too chaotic."Hurry up and decide, Luna!""Luna, you can't delay this matter. You need to act quickly...""Luna, I estimate that the resolution to this matter will come in a day or two at most. Don't delay any further."The Conerys kept offering her their opinions.Luna went back to her room alone. She decided to ask Halle for her opinion.Before she could dial the number
In Sumeria, many people were shocked upon hearing the news.The Timberlands, Thedus, Noelle, Snow, and the others all felt like they were struck by lightning.Andrius assaulted someone?Was this some kind of joke?Thedus gathered a group of people outside Marcus' office."Mr. Freely, we have something to say!"Marcus was stunned when he saw the news that Andrius assaulted someone. He knew that these were people that Andrius trusted, so he immediately let them in."Mr. Freely!"Thedus had been researching the Thirteen Ghost Gates lately and felt that this technique was incredible. He was extremely grateful to Andrius. Thus, when he heard the news that Andrius was in trouble, his reaction was intense.He immediately said, "From what I know about Andrius, he’d never do such a thing. There must be a huge conspiracy behind this.""Yes, Mr. Moonshade isn't that kind of person!""We have complete trust in Andrius' character.""If Andy could do such a thing, then there aren't any g
Belarus' face stiffened, and he nodded. "Yes! Andrius is..."He wanted to say something, but Laurent interrupted him impatiently as soon as he opened his mouth."You don't need to say anything more!" Laurent sneered expressionlessly, "Belarus Crestfall, the Crestfalls’ prescription is quite good, and I appreciate that you're willing to contribute it free of charge for the benefit of the people. However..."I'm astonished and disappointed that you've come all this way to plead for a criminal! You may leave now."It was an order to leave!How could Belarus simply watch Andrius be condemned? He was about to continue speaking, but Laurent waved his hand."Guards, send him out!"Two burly men immediately walked in and escorted Belarus out of the hotel.Outside the hotel, Luna, Harry, George, and the others were waiting."Dad!""Dad...""Grandpa, what did His Majesty say?"Everyone gathered around when they saw Belarus coming out, but their expressions varied.Belarus looked at
At that moment, all shackles and unhappiness vanished into thin air.Luna was free, like a bird breaking out of its cage. From now on, she would soar freely like an eagle in the sky!The Crestfalls stayed in the capital for the time being, waiting for Andrius’ verdict.Meanwhile, Luna drew on all her connections, trying to help him get a reduced sentence.However, Laurent was firm on a severe punishment for Andrius.This made Luna very distressed.“Luna, I think this news might be helpful to you. The reason why King Laurent and Princess Yule came to Florence is to find an exceptionally talented doctor at the Grand Medicinal Competition and bring them back to Bardan to treat Catherine, Laurent’s wife!”After some twists and turns, Luna finally obtained a very useful piece of information.“Thank you!”Luna’s mind became active after hanging up the phone.Since King Laurent needed something, she still had a chance. As long as her performance at the Grand Medicinal Competition wa
Make big bucks?Lester knew what she was talking about and smiled indifferently. He smacked Gigi’s round bottom and teased, “Make big bucks? How big? Bigger than you, Gigi?”“Ah! You’re so naughty!” Gigi swatted away Lester’s hand and said, “I’m serious, Lesty!“There’s a new gambling den downstairs. It’s a simple game of Grand Hazard. There are no tricks and no fancy stuff. It’s just a 50-50 chance, and the odds are one-to-one. If you win, you get double the amount you bet.“All you have to do is win a few times, and you’ll be able to bring Trixie home. You can do whatever you want with her!”Bring Trixie home and do whatever he wanted with her?Lester’s heart stirred, and he could not help but imagine the wonderful scene.“What do you think, Lesty?” Fifi pressed her ample bosom to Lester and said seductively, “Don’t forget about Gigi and me when you win money. I want to see if the three of us together can defeat you!”As she spoke, she used her special technique to pinch his
If he lost again, he would bet nine million on the next round. If he won, then he would be up five million!His luck would not be bad enough to lose that many times in a row. He would win eventually!In that case, he would never be in debt.Lester felt like a genius. No matter what happened, he would never lose money.Thus, he borrowed ten million from the man in sunglasses.Lester’s plan was to stop gambling after winning once. Even if he won the smallest amount of ten million, it would be enough for him to enjoy life for a long time. He would be able to feast on beautiful women for days!Lester shouted at the croupier, “Come on, let’s continue.”“Sure!”Then, Lester followed his strategy.For the first round, he bet on High, but the outcome was Low. He lost ten million.He borrowed a hundred million.In the second round, he bet on High again, but the outcome was Low. He lost that hundred million.“Damn it, I can’t believe I’m that unlucky. I don’t believe that it’ll be Lo
“Can I go now?” Lester did not want to stay in this place any longer.“You may leave.”The man’s words made Lester’s face brighten, but before the latter could feel happy, he added, “But there’s something you should keep in mind.”Lester lowered his head and said submissively, “What is it, sir?”“My name is Hugo Stark. You should have heard of me before,” the man in sunglasses smiled wickedly and spoke slowly.“Yes, yes!” Lester instantly felt cold and nodded rapidly. “You’re the ‘Wicked Doctor’, Hugo Stark in the capital. Your name is well known!”The Wicked Doctor, Hugo Stark!He was a famous doctor in the capital. However, his methods and way of doing things were very different from ordinary doctors who aimed to save lives. He was both righteous and wicked, earning him the title of the ‘Wicked Doctor’.“It’s good that you’ve heard of me.” Hugo smirked and said, “I only have one reason for telling you my name. It’s just to remind you not to think about running away. Believe m
