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
Andrius had no idea that his ‘image’ was heavily distorted by a delusional girl in less than an hour. He was helping Rainbow settle down in her dorm. Despite the few pieces of luggage Rainbow brought with her, she unpacked into an entire house. The bags she brought could hold more things than his military backpack. In addition to the somewhat isolated dorm, he helped with cleaning and laying out her things. He almost cleaned the entire place just for Rainbow. When he was done with everything, it was already evening. It had been a full day since he left Dream’s Waterfront at 7 a.m. How did he spend his day like this? Back when he was at war, he could lead the charge to the enemy’s base in just a morning. In other words, it was more terrifying and exhausting to be with a woman than to kill enemies on the battlefield. “Andrius, do you need some rest?” Rainbow barely did anything, thus she felt embarrassed. She pointed at the boba tea on the table. “The boba tea I got y
