Andrius frowned. “Frank, listen to me. Do not buy the shares from the Cloverfields.” He had just met Marcus, the mayor. The Cloverfields had sustained a major loss and had filed for bankruptcy. How could they get publicly listed while facing a devastating financial crisis? They were trying to cheat people’s money and flee the city! Fatty Frank was discouraged. “Boss, why?” Andrius explained, “The Cloverfields are going bankrupt soon, so this is just a trap. They intentionally leaked the news and let people think this is a great opportunity. When they get the money, they will flee the city.” “That’s impossible!” Fatty Frank confidently explained, “The Cloverfields are doing great! They even went on national television a few years ago, and their businesses are doing well! How can they be facing bankruptcy?” Andrius could not be bothered to explain further. He simply said, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you.” Fatty Frank hesitated. He admired Andrius who was the best fight
Halle knew that Andrius must have insider news on the matter, so she called him. “Andrius, Luna is going to buy the Cloverfields’ company shares. She told me you said that the Cloverfields can’t even save themselves. Are you serious?” “Of course.” Andrius sounded firm. “I got the news from Marcus. The company has been losing money for a while now. They are planning to get whatever money they can and leave the city.” Halle believed him. The mayor, Marcus, was Andrius’ ex-subordinate, so it was impossible for him to make such a low mistake. If Andrius said the Cloverfields would be over soon, they would be over soon. Anxious, Halle asked, “Then, what should we do? Luna insists on buying the shares, I tried talking to her, but it didn’t work.” “We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it.” Andrius was helpless as well. He made it clear to Luna, yet she insisted on jumping into the trap. What else could he do about it? The night went by quietly. The next day, while Andriu
“Get out of my face!” Rainbow lost her patience, but her shout did not startle or frighten the gangster. Instead, it piqued his interest even more. “Feisty! I like a feisty girl.” He sized Rainbow up with an invasive gaze. If he could get her in his bed, they would have wild sex tonight. “Babe, I have never heard of a woman not spreading her legs for money. It’s not enough, is it?”Before Rainbow could say anything, the gangster pulled out another stack of bills from his car. “Twenty grand, enough? It’s considered quite high around here. With this price, I can get myself a lesser-known fashion model.” Rainbow glanced at her watch. The person who should be picking her up was not in sight yet, and she was being annoyed by the gangster, so she was forced to move away from the spot. As she dragged her luggage away with her, the gangster stopped her once more. “Come on, babe. Don’t go. Twenty grand ain’t enough? Damn, girl, you’ve got a big appetite. Okay, how about fifty gra
The gangster grinned wickedly when he sensed how weak Garren was. “Classmate? You better f*ck off before I f*ck you up. Do you know who I am?” Garren was frightened. He asked timidly, “W-who are you?” “I’m in the Empire.” As the gangster grinned, the flaps on his cheeks widened, making him look vicious. He raised his arm to display the dragon tattoo on it and said, “See this? They call me Dragon.” “Y-you are Dragon of the Empire?” Garren was frightened, and even his voice trembled.Dragon of the Empire was a man with a notorious reputation. He had a hundred men under his command. He would either bring his men out to cause problems or stay at the club, the Empire, to fool around with women. There was once when a few drunkards caused a scene at the Empire, and on the next day, they were all murdered, dismembered, and tossed into the river. “Now you know who I am, get the hell out of my face, or do you want me to f*ck you up?” Dragon said with a grin. Garren’s expression sh
Garren wanted to reason with Andrius, but when he saw Dragon and his men, he lost his courage. He quickly fled back to his car before Dragon could notice him. He stayed in the car and observed what would happen next. “Punk.” Dragon stared at Andrius viciously. He grinned to show his terrible and yellowish teeth and bellowed, “We meet again so soon.” Andrius grunted. “A good dog won’t obstruct the way.” “You piece of sh*t! You're making things worse for you and you’re asking for it!” Dragon was infuriated. He roared, “Get him and rip him to pieces!” As soon as his voice subsided, his men jumped on him. The intimidating scene shocked Rainbow. Andrius pulled her behind him and said to her, “Stay here. Don’t move. They won’t be able to hurt you.” He was ready for a fight, but then a unified march approached them. Andrius looked in that direction and saw a battalion of soldiers, armed with loaded guns. Dragon’s men were stunned and petrified on the spot. Some of them tried t
What was going on? Was Andrius having lunch with a general? It seemed like the general treated him with respect and courtesy as well. Was Rainbow mistaken? She could not believe her eyes, so she rubbed them, but she heard Andrius saying, “Stop rubbing your eyes. You are not hallucinating.” Rainbow looked excited and awkward at the same time. “You, me. I… You…” “What?” Andrius pointed at Noir and introduced him, “He’s Noir.” Andrius then explained, “This is Rainbow Conery, Luna’s cousin. She’s here to study, and she seems to be a military otaku.” “Hi! Hi! Nice to meet you!” When Noir heard Rainbow was a military otaku, he got up and saluted her formally before he stretched his hand out for a handshake. Rainbow was thrilled. She shook his hand lightly because her hand was shaking. “Join us.” Noir pulled the chair beside Andrius and signaled Rainbow to sit down. Rainbow was flattered. She looked at Noir excitedly, “I… Can I really sit down and have lunch with you?”
A pair of fair and long legs stepped out of the car. The woman then walked over to Andrius with a soft smile. It was Suletta, the granddaughter of the old man that Andrius had saved the other day. The old man was Anthony Henderson, the richest man in Sumeria. When Suletta saw Andrius doing laborious work and moving luggage around, she was shocked. “Mr. Moonshade, thank you for saving my grandfather yesterday. If not for you, my grandfather might not have made it.” Andrius recognized her, but since he was in the middle of moving Rainbow’s luggage, he simply hummed a reply and did not extend the conversation. “Mr. Moonshade, you’ve done our family a great deed by saving my grandfather! Tell me how we should reward you.” Suletta somehow looked proud when she made the offer. Whatever Andrius requested, the Hendersons could make it happen. Andrius said, “It’s a doctor’s duty to save people. If you really want to thank me, a simple ‘thank you’ is more than enough.” Sulette
He did not have time for the granddaughter of some rich man in a city. “Do you know her?” Rainbow asked. “What does she want with you?” She was standing further away and did not hear the conversation between Suletta and Andrius. Andrius simply said, “She wanted to give me five billion, but I said no.” Pft! Rainbow spat her boba tea out. Fortunately, Andrius dodged it quickly, or else he would have been sprayed with saliva and boba. “Andrius, you certainly are a brag!” Rainbow said with disdain. Andrius did not bother to explain either. After Suletta got into her car, she contacted her secretary, Bella Cornstacy. “Bella, what did Mr. Moonshade mean?” “Ms. Suletta, isn’t that obvious?” Bella wore a disdainful look. “Andrius Moonshade is super duper greedy! He thought that by saving Master Henderson, he can go overboard. He’s trying to get more from us. This is extortion!” Suletta agreed. She believed that Andrius knew who she was and that with the Hendersons’ re
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!
