Harry then pulled his phone out. “People have already run away with our money. Why are you still calling him? What good will it do?” “Are you dreaming? Are you still hoping that the money will come back?” “All you know is to daydream!” George, Dick, and their families criticized Harry’s actions harshly. Harry knew it was stupid and that the chances of reaching Axel were slim, but it was the only way he could think of. To his surprise, the call got through. Harry was delighted. He said gushingly, “Hello? Axel? You’ve always had feelings for Luna, right? You two are made for each other. When are you coming to our place to talk about the engagement…” Before he could finish, Axel sneered, “Harry Crestfall, are you stupid, or are you taking me as a fool? You want me to go to your place and get engaged? Are you dumb?” Harry’s expression changed as soon as he heard Axel’s mockery. Before he could say a word, the call ended abruptly. Axel had hung up on him. “Harry, you’r
“You make me laugh!” George sneered mercilessly. “Andrius, can you stop showing off your stupidity? As long as Axel Cloverfield is not a fool, by the time he transferred his assets and money away, he’d already be in another country. “With him and his money out of the country, not even the cops can find him. Yet, you are here acting like a clown, calling it not a big deal. Are you kidding me?” It was obvious. Dick looked at him in disdain as well. “Andrius, if you can get the money back, I’ll write my name backward.” Even Harry shook his head helplessly when he heard Andrius. He had just called Axel, and judging from the man’s arrogance, he must have already fled the country. Even though he wanted to get the money back, it was practically impossible. Andrius glanced at George and Dick and said, “How I get the money back is my business. It has nothing to do with you two. Please lease Dream’s Waterfront.” George, Dick, and their families were furious. Dick looked at Master C
“A-Andrius Moonshade? Why are you here?! How did you know we are here?” Axel’s pupils shrank in fear, and he could not believe his eyes. Andrius scoffed in disdain. “You two committed fraudulent crimes and are afraid of people knowing where you are. Why wouldn’t I know about that?” The father and son knew that they could not get away that easily now. In order to escape, they would have to silence or even kill Andrius. The two of them jumped toward Andrius. “You’re asking for it,” Andrius said with a grunt. He punched both of them and knocked them to the floor. He then called Marcus and said, “Marcus, come to Grand Western Rivermoon Hotel. I have a big present for you.” A big present? Marcus immediately said, “Yes, sir. I’m on my way.” Even though he had a full plate dealing with the mess Axel and his father had created, when Andrius called him for a meeting, he agreed to meet as well. “Oh, and remember to bring some men over,” Andrius added. Men? What did he mean?
“Hahaha!” George cackled with laughter. “And here I thought that Andrius is a capable guy! He’s just bragging and boasting again. He’s really good at doing nothing!” Dick scoffed as well. He looked at Luna in disdain and sneered, “Luna, your husband is really something. Bragging is his first instinct.” He then looked at Harry and mocked, “Where did you get yourself such an amazing son-in-law? Tell me so I can avoid such a guy.” Getting back the money was great news, but with George and Dick ridiculing them, Luna and Harry’s mood turned sour again. Later that night, Andrius returned to Dream’s Waterfront. While he was walking to the door, he thought he could finally have a normal day for once now that he had recovered the money for the Crestfalls. When he entered the house, he noticed Harry there. Harry vented the grievance that he received from his brother earlier in the day on him. “Andrius, you said you would get the money back in three days?” Andrius felt surprised.
“Mayor Freely is concerned about our company and the funds we lost, so in return, we must quickly initiate the Valiant Institute project.” Luna looked serious. “So, I have an idea, which is to purchase a new batch of machinery to increase the efficiency of the project. With that, we can complete the project earlier.” Andrius nodded. The Valiant Institute project had been delayed for a while now and must be initiated soon. It was great that Luna was concerned about it. “Frank has been doing well lately, and he’s starting to win recognition within the company. That’s why I am assigning him to this task.” Luna added, “You should learn from him and get some experience. When the project is completed, you can also get some sharing profit from the company.” After what happened with the company funds, Luna realized that other than being boastful, proud, and arrogant, Andrius did not have any serious flaws despite him coming from the mountains. He had a good heart above everything else.
Andrius would have crushed the Hanshus if they were at the border, yet the Hanshus still sought revenge after what they did to Randal. They would not dare. “Of course, of course.” Noir chuckled. He said frivolously, “Andy, you don’t even need to do anything. I can just deal with them out of convenience." After all, he rose to become the captain of the Shadow Wolves because of his kill count. While they were chatting, Andrius’ phone rang. It was Fatty Frank. “Boss! Something has happened! Come back to the office now!” Fatty Frank sounded anxious. Andrius frowned. He returned to the office, but Fatty Frank was not there, so he went to Luna’s office. “Team Five can’t do anything well. They can’t bear the responsibility.” “We gave them a simple assignment, and they screwed it up. I think we should dissolve the entire department.” “Yeah. Why are we feeding a bunch of good-for-nothing kids?” Andrius was outside the office, and he heard the other executives criticizing Te
“What is it?” Luna asked eagerly“You can actually buy our reserved machines. You should know that we usually have reserved units for large machinery, but those are not for sale. Since you are eager to use them, I can consider selling them to you.” Houser sounded sincere as if he was trying to help Luna solve her problem. Reserved units? Luna had no other options left, so she asked, “How much are the reserved units?” “50 million,” Houser named the price indifferently. “50 million?!” Luna’s eyes widened, and her lips twitched when she heard the price. That was an arm and a leg! The price that Fatty Frank had gotten earlier in the day was the regular price, which was only ten million. However, Houser asked for 50 million for his reserved units. That was five times more expensive than the original price! It was not just double; it was quintuple! He raised the price because she needed it, and it was over-demanding! “What do you say, Ms. Crestfall?” Houser sounded cheer
“Cheers, Houser!” Solomon raised his glass and finished it to the last drop. Houser finished his glass of liquor as well. He chuckled and said, “Solomon, we have known each other for so long. It’s nothing.” The two laughed and chatted. They were not in the same industry, so there was no competition between them. As a matter of fact, the two of them frequently asked each other for private favors to ruin their competitors, hence their close relationship. After a few glasses and a few dishes, the lively atmosphere reached a cordial climax. Solomon put his hand on Houser’s shoulder, and with narrowed eyes glittering with cunningness, he said, “Houser, Luna Crestfall searched the entire city today and didn’t find the machines she needed. I think she will look for you again tomorrow.” Houser was surprised. “What should I do then?” “It’s simple.” Solomon’s lips curled like a sly fox. “You can pretend to negotiate the price with her and then agree to her price. You have to make i
