Chapter 211
This old hag… Me eating here is an honor to the Royal Dragon, yet you are asking me to pay the bill?” Jude grumbled and cursed Jason inwardly.
If he was not on the way to meet Master Turner, he would teach Jason a lesson immediately.
“How much is it?” Jude looked at the cashier casually.
It was just a meal. How expensive could it cost?
It was a slight waste that he could not show off in front of Ford and Jennifer, but he did not mind at all.
“Sir, your bill is…” The cashier looked at the bottom of the bill and said, “2,843,088. I have rounded up for you, so it’s just 2,850,000.”
“What did you say?” Jude was frightened. He grinned in disbelief and asked, “A meal cost almost three million? What kind of lousy joke is this? Were we eating gold just now?”
“What kind of lousy place this is? Why is it so expensive?” Jennifer was also shocked. She snatched the bill from the cashier, and the three of them went through the dishes ordered.
At the very end, the three of them spotted the two bottles of wine ordered.
La Romanee Conti cost 1,380,000 per bottle, so two bottles would be 2,760,000. The meal only cost around 90,000.
Jude was furious. He roared, “What is wrong with you? Don’t you know who I am? I am Jude Carver, and my father is Zack Carver! The two bottles of wine are a gift from your boss to entertain us! How could you put them on our tab?”
He intentionally raised his voice as if by doing so, he was able to make his claims sound righteous and elevate his pride.
Jennifer echoed, “Why are you so stupid? Of course, you are. You are a dumb cashier who has to work for people for your entire life!”
Ford grinned coldly and said, “Narrow–sighted. How narrow–sighted.”
No matter how the three of them scolded him, the cashier wore a professional smile and said, “I’m sorry, sir, my boss didn’t tell me that the two bottles of wine should be excluded from the bill.”
Jude was instantly embarrassed and his expression turned bitter.
With a grim look, he yelled, “Where is your boss? I want to see your boss! I want to know what he is trying to do!”
The cashier called Jason and informed him of the situation.
A while later, Jason arrived.
Jude arrogantly said, “Mr. West, just fire your cashier! You presented us with the two bottles of wine, but he’s trying to charge us for it. Isn’t this ridiculous? He’ll ruin your place sooner or later! Hurry up and dismiss him!”
Jude’s arrogance bloated as he continued, “I don’t want to give you a hard time. Just waive the bill, and I can pretend that nothing happened.”
Jennifer lifted her chin and echoed proudly, “Yeah, waive the bill.”
Waive the bill?
Chapter 211
Jason lost two bottles of expensive wine, which was not even consumed by the Wolf King, and he was having a sour mood because of it.
Now, Jude was trying to cause a scene with him.
Jason glared at Jude coldly and said without the slightest courtesy, “The two bottles of wine are for my VIP guest, but who the hell are you three? Waive the bill? Are you kidding me?”
Jude did not expect Jason to disrespect him. He was shocked and furious at the same time.
“Do you know who my father is? My father is Zack Carver! Are you really making me pay the bill?”
Jude immediately brought his father’s name out, attempting to deter Jason so that he could eat for free.
“I don’t care if it’s Zack Carver or Nut Eater! Even if the Queen is here, you will have to pay for this meal!” Jason said with a frosty scoff.
“You!!” Jude was furious. “What kind of rubbish place is this? Are you trying to cheat me?”
He wanted to leave the place without paying, and he believed Jason dared not do anything to him.
Jennifer went after Jude and grumbled on her way out, “If this is how you do business, you’re going out of business soon!”
“Stop them!” Jason bellowed.
A dozen of tall and strong security guards stood in front of the entrance, looking intimidating. They cracked their knuckles and necks and grinned at the three of them maliciously.
Jason then added, “If you pay a single penny less for this meal, I will skin you alive!” “You… You!” Jude was fuming. His finger that pointed at Jason was shaking.
Chapter 212
However, with that many intimidating security guards before him, Jason dared not do anything crazy. Crack! Crack!
The security guards cracked their knuckles loudly and exercised their arms.
Jude flushed, but he could not do anything. In the end, he surrendered and paid the bill. He only had 300,000 in his bank account, so he had to swipe all his credit cards to foot the entire bill.
“Let’s go!”
Jude glared at Jason before he brought Ford and Jennifer away and headed to Ocean Moon Estate where Hansel was.
A while later, they arrived at Ocean Moon Estate.
When they arrived at the parlor, Jude was surprised to see Andrius and Halle there before them.
“Yo…” Jude looked at Andrius with surprise and said, “Andrius, what are you doing here?”
Andrius raised a brow at him and said, “I brought Halle here to meet Hansel.
“How dare you call Master Turner’s name?! Who do you think you are?” Jude criticized his manners and sneered, “A guy from the mountains like you speaking rudely in a place like this? Halle, do you think Master Turner will meet him? Look at him. He reeks of poverty!”
Jude suddenly sounded superior as he continued, “My father met Master Turner a few years ago, and they know each other. If you want to see him, you should come with me, Halle. As for that guy…”
He clicked his tongue twice and said with disdain, “There’s no way he can meet Master Turner in his life.” Ford looked at Halle, “Girl, are you out of your mind? Andrius said that he can bring you to meet Master Turner, and you believe him?”
“Yeah!” Jennifer echoed. “Halle, come over here. You won’t want Master Turner to think that you have anything to do with the poor guy there.”
Halle turned a deaf ear at them and did not even budge.
Her parents were fuming.
Jude grinned and then said to the servant in the parlor, “Hi, can you inform Master Turner that the son of Zack Carver, Jude Carver, wants to see him?”
The servant nodded and went out to deliver the message.
A while later, the servant came back.
Jude welcomed her back with a bright smile and even glanced at Andrius provocatively.
To his surprise, the servant coldly said, “Master Turner Is meeting an important guest today and won’t see anyone else.”
Jude froze in embarrassment. His expression shifted multiple times.
“Go! Tell Hansel to see me now,” Andrius said as he handed a token to the servant.
“Tsk…” Jude sneered, “Andrius, who do you think you are? You want Master Turner to see you? If Master Turner gets angry, don’t claim that we know each other. We don’t want to be dragged into your nonsense.”
Chapter 212
The servant was surprised by Andrius‘ demanding manner, but since her master had informed her beforehand, she dared not delay the message. She went upstairs with the token immediately. Halle was curious.
Jude, Ford, and Jennifer had the same disdain on their faces.
Jude even started to imagine Master Turner shouting and threatening to kill the useless guy from the mountains. If it really happened, it would do him a favor and save him some time.
With that, Jude grinned maliciously. As his anticipation rose, a dignified figure arrived.
It was Hansel Turner!
He had arrived!

Chapter 213
Andrius was unfazed while Jude gloated at him.
Ford and Jennifer instinctively turned to Halle.
“Halle, come over here!” Ford signaled his daughter multiple times, afraid that Master Turner would misunderstand the situation.
Jennifer was much more direct. She strode over to Halle, grabbed her arm, and wanted to drag her away from Andrius so that she would not be involved when Master Turner blamed Andrius.
Halle somehow cemented herself on the spot. No matter how hard her mother pulled her, she did not even move. Her persistence made her mother anxious, but there was nothing Jennifer could do.
Master Turner was already standing in front of Andrius.
Jude’s grin widened. He was delighted because Andrius would soon be scolded and berated by Master Turner.
Jennifer and Ford were both anxious and nervous as well.
“Mr. Moonshade!” Hansel bowed deeply in front of Andrius and welcomed him sincerely, “It is my honor to see you here in Sumeria.”
What?
What just happened?
Jude, Ford, and Jennifer were all stunned.
Should Master Turner not be scolding Andrius before throwing him out of the door? What happened?
Judging from Master Turner’s tone, he seemed to know Andrius.
Andrius remained seated leisurely. “Hansel, you shouldn’t have. There’s no need for you to make things so grand for me.
“Yes, sir.” Hansel nodded repeatedly.
He then looked at Halle and her mother beside her. He asked, “Sir, are they with you?”
Before Andrius could say a word, Jennifer nodded immediately and said, “Yeah, we are together.”
She was not an idiot, and she could tell that Master Turner treated Andrius with respect. They knew each other.
Master Turner only came out because of Andrius.
“Yeah! Yeah, we are together!” Ford nodded as well.
Jude wore a sour look on his face because Andrius snatched his spotlight. He went up with a flattering smile and said, “Master Turner, my father is Zack Carver of Carver Enterprises. He met you before at the finance summit five years ago…”
To his surprise, Hansel did not even look at him. He nodded and said to Jennifer and Ford, “Oh, please excuse me. If you had mentioned Mr. Moonshade’s name, I would have come out to welcome you already.”
The two of them smiled awkwardly, unable to conceal the embarrassment on their faces.
A while ago, they had mocked and sneered at Andrius, and wanted Halle to stay away from him so that
Chapter 213
she would not be cast in a bad light when Hansel came out.
Now, Hansel told them he would have come out a long time ago if they had just mentioned Andrius‘
name.
It was a slap in their faces! A total embarrassment.
7/2
The one who felt more embarrassed was Jude. He was completely disregarded. His face flushed as if he was slapped by his own ignorance and arrogance.
“Mr. Moonshade…” Hansel looked at Andrius with a smile. “Why don’t we talk inside?”
“Sure.” Andrius nodded. Since he was already here, he should at least be a good guest to the host.
Therefore, the group followed Hansel into his living hall.
“Mr. Moonshade!”
After everyone was seated, Hansel brought a box of tea leaves over. “These are tea leaves that I got from Mount Fiver the other day. They are quality rooibos tea, and I haven’t got the heart to drink them. Now that you are here, I believe it’s a good chance for us to taste it.”
Hansel chatted with Andrius as if they were old friends talking about all kinds of topics.
Hansel did most of the talking whereas Andrius simply listened, nodded, and smiled in response to his hospitality.
Halle would join the conversation from time to time.
As for Jude, Ford, and Jennifer, they continued to feel uncomfortable and simply wore awkward smiles throughout the conversation.
Half an hour later, the servant from earlier came in and whispered something into Hansel’s ear.
Hansel’s expression changed. He wore an apologetic look and said to Andrius, “Mr. Moonshade, please excuse me as I have something urgent to attend to. I might not be able to…”
“It’s alright.” Andrius got up and said, “Then, I should be leaving as well.”
The group then returned to Halle’s place.
On the way back, Ford and Jennifer tried to speak their minds, but the words were stuck in their throats
Chapter 214
When they were back home, Jennifer could no longer hold her curiosity back and asked, “Andrius, do you know Master Turner personally?”
The other three widened their ears for the answer.
“Not really. It’s just that I saved his life once,” Andrius explained leisurely.
When he was fighting at the frontline of the Western Frontline, Hansel, who was a well–known business tycoon, was abducted by terrorists. The terrorists demanded more money to fund their terror activities. Andrius had saved him.
Hansel respected Andrius because he was the Wolf King and also his savior.
1 see.”
When Jude heard the answer, he scoffed with disdain. “Andrius, you are really from the mountains. You are so narrow–sighted. You didn’t know how to use your connection with Master Turner. A favor from Master Turner is difficult to get. It can make a person rich overnight and help a family rise to prominence. Yet you…
He looked at Andrius with contempt. “You simply use his favor to act cool. How foolish.”
Jude laughed at him.
Both Ford and Jennifer suddenly looked at him with similar disgust.
Andrius was indeed a narrow–sighted person. He was favored by heaven, yet he simply wasted the chance.
What a fool!
Jude exclaimed meaningfully, “A person must rely on your own capabilities, not luck. How many times do you think Lady Luck will favor you? Are there that many influential figures waiting for you to save them?” His words reminded Halle that Andrius had also saved Mayor Freely before, and now Hansel too.
How many influential figures had he saved?
Andrius simply ignored Jude’s sneers, unbothered.
Jude then handed Ford and Jennifer a contract. “Uncle Ford, Aunt Jennifer, this is a little present that I have prepared for you two. It’s not much of a profit, just around three to five million.”
Although he emphasized the number, he made it sound like the number was nothing.
Ford and Jennifer were over the moon. They took the contract and praised him, “Jude, you’ve really helped us big time!”
“Thank you, Jude!”
Jennifer said passionately, “Jude, you should come visit us more often in the future. You don’t need to be courteous to us. Make yourself feel at home.”
“This is nothing.” Jude shook his head without being too concerned. “Unfortunately, the Golden Dragon project from the local government has been taken away, or else we would have earned a lot more.” The Golden Dragon project?
Both Ford and Jennifer swallowed nervously when they heard the name. A hint of regret flashed in their
eyes.
Andrius noticed it, and a thought rushed into his mind. He asked Halle softly, “Is the government project that important to your family?”
“It is.” Halle nodded and explained, “Government projects usually have a large profit margin, and its reputation says it all. There’s no breach of contract or delays in payment.
“More importantly, government projects usually receive help from all the departments. It will progress smoothly and also provide us with a large benefit. It’s like winning the jackpot for a family business.”
Andrius instantly understood the situation. He said to Halle, “If that’s the case, I’ll ask someone to send over an ongoing government project.”
Jude overheard his words and scoffed.
He sneered at Andrius, “Andrius, do you really think you run the government? Government projects are not some presents that you can simply give away. I guess ignorance is bliss.”
Ford and Jennifer looked at Andrius suspiciously.
“Hmph.” Andrius scoffed. He argued, “If I’m able to bring her a government contract, then you must stay away from Halle. What do you say? Wanna bet?”
He was not trying to win Halle’s heart or whatever, but she kept using him as an excuse, and it started to get annoying. Therefore, he wanted to get rid of Jude once and for all so that he could be free.
“If you want to make a fool out of yourself, be my guest.” Jude cackled and argued, “Let me make myself clear. If you can’t provide them with a government contract, then stay away from the Fullberries and never see Halle again!”
Andrius got Jude’s promise, so he pulled his phone out and dialed a number.
“Marcus, bring me a government contract for an ongoing project. Bring it to the Fullberries‘ estate.”

Chapter 215
“Marcus? Jude laughed when he heard the name. He ridiculed, “Andrius, did you just call the mayor?” Andrius chuckled. “Yeah. What’s wrong with that?”
“Nope. I just want to laugh.” Jude ridiculed, “You really know how to pretend, eh? You even call Mayor Freely Marcus? Tsk, tsk, tsk. I bet you have spent all your energy on acting cool.”
Andrius did not care about the man’s sneers.
Halle, on the other hand, had hope for Andrius. She knew about Andrius‘ and the mayor’s relationship, so it might really work.
Ford and Jennifer looked at Andrius with increased contempt.
He was a nameless man from the mountain, foolish enough to lose the opportunity of a lifetime, and was now boasting like he could tell the mayor to deliver him a government contract.
It was an insult to their intellect!
However, since Andrius said that he would leave Halle if he could not bring the contract over, so the two of them decided to wait and see how it turned out.
Ten minutes went by.
Jude’s patient wore thin. He looked at his Vacheron Constantin and said, “Andrius, ten minutes have come and gone. Where is your government contract? If you can’t do it, stop acting like you can. You can’t just leave us waiting forever, right?”
His words attracted Ford and Jennifer’s attention. They echoed, “Andrius, if you are not capable enough, keep your mouth shut!”
Jennifer pointed at Andrius and said in annoyance, “If no one is coming, stop wasting our time. Get out and don’t even see Halle again!”
Ford added coldly, “Andrius, if you are a man, keep your promise and leave Halle!”
Halle started to get nervous.
Her parents had no idea who Andrius was, but she had a clue.
She asked Andrius softly, “Andrius, why don’t you call Mayor Freely and see when he is coming?”
Andrius called Marcus again and then said, “He’s coming in five minutes.”
“Five minutes… Fine. I’ll give you another five minutes.” Jude grinned maliciously. “After five minutes, you can stop deluding yourself.”
Then, he looked at his watch again.
Five minutes went by, but Marcus had not arrived.
“Andrius, what else do you have to say for yourself?” Jude sneered at Andrius with a contemptuous look. It’s been five minutes already. Now, you cannot see Halle again, or…”
When Jude was threatening Andrius, he spotted someone familiar coming over. He looked and focused on the person and realized it was indeed Marcus, Mayor Freely!
Jude strode over to the mayor with a flattering smile. He stretched his hand out and said respectfully,” Mayor Freely, hi! I’m Jude, Zack Carver’s son! The chairman of Carver Enterprises!”
2/2
He did not consider the fact that the mayor came because of Andrius.
The Fullberries‘ estate was several kilometers from the city council, and Mayor Freely came here on foot. The distance would have taken more than fifteen minutes by car if the traffic was smooth.
Walking would take at least an hour!
Jude simply thought that Mayor Freely was passing by and spotted him.
Marcus nodded but did not say a word.
Jude would not miss the chance to flatter someone as influential as the mayor. With a quick thought, he came up with a plan.
“Mayor Freely, you have no idea what just happened here. Someone bragged that he can make you deliver a government contract to him with just a call…” Jude said as he tried to gloat at Andrius.
Marcus‘ patience wore thin. He pushed Jude away and went over to Andrius. With an apologetic look, he said, “Mr. Moonshade, I’m so sorry that I am late. The traffic at the bridge was terrible. I had to come on foot.”
His words stunned Ford and Jennifer.
The mayor actually came because of Andrius.
“It’s not too late,” Andrius said without being too concerned.
“Thank goodness. That’s great to know.” Marcus breathed a sigh of relief.
He then walked over to Ford and took a contract out from his briefcase. “Mr. Fullberry, this is a
government contract for the project named Sumeria’s Light. Have a look at it, and if it’s okay, please sign
it.”
Ford was overwhelmed.
Chapter 216
Ford’s hand was shaking when he took the contract from Marcus.
When he had the contract in his hand, he briefly went through it before he signed his name on it. He stammered, “l–it’s all good! It’s all good!”
Marcus was the city’s mayor. One word and the Fullberries would be doomed, so there was no point for Marcus to tinker with the contract.
Jennifer simply smiled throughout the contract–signing process.
Halle looked at Andrius, feeling proud.
Only Jude was stunned as if a bolt of lightning struck him. He looked at the scene with utmost disbelief.
Was Andrius not from the mountains? Wasn’t he a nameless poor guy?
How could he bring the mayor over with just one call?
Why?
How did he, Jude Carver, the young master of a large company, lose to a nameless guy from the mountains?
He was defeated, completely.
Therefore, since the family and Andrius were held up by the mayor’s arrival, Jude quickly left. He could not afford to stay any longer because he was afraid that Andrius might insult him again.
After signing the contract, Marcus left.
Andrius was left alone with the Fullberries.
Ford and Jennifer finally understood how capable Andrius was. The mayor came to their place because of one call from him.
In other words, Andrius was not just a guy from the mountains. He was hiding something.
Therefore, their attitudes towards Andrius changed drastically.
“M–Mr. Moonshade…” Ford chuckled awkwardly. The flattery on his face was mixed with a dash of embarrassment. “I really have to thank you for this contract.”
“Yeah, Andy.” Jennifer’s expression shifted quickly as well, and she was much more shameless than her husband, calling Andrius “Andy“.
“Please forgive our attitude from before, but I believe you won’t mind, right? Andy, are you thirsty? Come on, let’s go inside. We still have some good tea at home from our father. Right?”
Jennifer signaled Ford with a glance.
Ford caught the signal and nodded repeatedly. “Yeah, yeah, yeah! Come on, Andy, come…”
“Where are we going?” Halle interrupted her parents and curled her arms around Andrius‘. She said, “We are going shopping. You guys can go in first.”
“Shopping?”
Ford and Jennifer exchanged a quick look before they chuckled. “Yeah, shopping is good. Take your time, you don’t need to hurry back home.”
Chapjer 216
The two of them then went Inside, leaving Andrius and Halle alone.
Andrius and Halle then returned to the Royal Garden.
“Andrius…”
On the way back, Halle happily said, “My parents like you a lot. Why don’t we go get married after your deal with Luna is over?”
“Huh?”
Andrius looked at Halle in disbelief.
He was truly afraid of being around women. He wished he could go back to the Western Frontline immediately, so why would he be so stupid as to marry Halle?
Just when Andrius was thinking about how to reject Halle, he received a call from Luna. “Andrius, where are you? Come back to the Crestfalls‘ estate right now.”
The call then ended.
Andrius shrugged at Halle before he headed out.
Halle pouted as she watched Andrius leave her sight. She could not do anything since she was no one to him yet!
Back at the Crestfalls‘ estate, Belarus, Harry, George, and the others were all there.
When Andrius came in, Belarus looked at Andrius and said, “Andrius, when my brother left Sumeria the other day, he gave us a billion worth of funds. I am planning to buy an entertainment company and venture into showbiz. What do you think?”
“Showbiz…” Andrius frowned. Even though he was an outsider, he knew that the entertainment industry was dark and unpredictable.
“I heard it’s a bottomless pit. Grandfather, are you ready for this?”
“I am!” Belarus was eager. “Actually, we have been planning our venture into showbiz for a while now. In addition to the local government trying to fund war movies recently, I think it’s a good opportunity.”
If it was a planned strategy, then there should be no problem.
Andrius played along and asked, “Grandfather, which company are you planning to buy?”
“This one.” Belarus then said with an awkward smile, “I am planning to buy Riverfront Entertainment.”
Riverfront Entertainment?
Andrius‘ pupils shrank in surprise.
Chapter 217
The company once belonged to the Hendersons.
It was one of the Hendersons‘ primary companies. Its resources and connections were great, and it was considered one of the rising companies in the industry.
If Andrius had not forcefully retired Anthony during the inauguration ceremony, Riverfront Entertainment would have grown into a money tree for the Hendersons.
Should the Crestfalls take over and manage it properly, it should be able to grow stronger without any hindrance.
“Riverfront Entertainment has always been one of the best entertainment companies in Sumeria.”
Luna had done her homework on this purchase. She sounded confident as she explained, “The celebrities. that it signed up produce songs, television series, and variety shows. It has celebrities in every field. If it was not for the Wolf King’s deterrence, the Hendersons would not have put it on sale. Tomorrow will be the auction, so we have to seize the opportunity.”
“Then, just go for it,” Andrius said. He believed it was a good idea as well.
“Great. That is settled then.” Belarus clapped his hand and continued, “Luna, you should leave with Andrius now. You two should head over and be prepared for tomorrow.”
“Uh…”
Luna was slightly stunned as she did not plan to bring Andrius along.
“Don’t just stand there. You two can look after each other, and we should give Andrius more chances to see the world so that he can grow his vision,” Belarus said indubitably.
Belarus had high hopes for Andrius
Luna was forced to agree.
After leaving the estate, Luna said, “Andrius, I’m fine with Grandfather telling me to bring you along but…”
She held his arm and said seriously, “The people participating in the auction are dignitaries and wealthy. people. There are also tycoons in the entertainment industry. You have to keep your temper and not cause trouble for the family. Don’t resolve things with violence, understand?”
“Okay” Andrius nodded. He actually disliked violence, but there were people who simply asked for a beating.
The two of them returned to Dream’s Waterfront to pack their things.
The auction was held at a resort named Galaxy Way near the beach. It was almost a three–hour journey by car from the city center.
The two of them had to go over today and spend the night there so that they could attend the auction
early tomorrow.
Three hours later, they arrived at Galaxy Way Resort.
“This is a nice place.” Luna enjoyed the sea breeze as she looked out at the vast sea and the horizon that connected to the sky. She felt relaxed. She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply to clear her mind.
Andrus smiled.
The country was at peace, and the people were living in harmony.
It was all made possible because of his efforts in guarding the country back at the Western Frontline.
The two of them went to the elevator to check into their respective rooms.
“Luna Crestfall?”
Then, a surprised voice was heard from behind.
Luna turned around and saw a man in a floral shirt and loose pants with a pair of glasses on his face, seemingly on vacation.
When he spoke, he removed his glasses and revealed a rather handsome face.
It was her high–school classmate, Jeremy Todd. He had a crush on her when they were back in school. He confessed to her during their graduation, but she had rejected him.
“Jeremy? It’s been a while. Hi. How are you doing?” Luna politely greeted him.
“Yeah. It’s been a long time.” Jeremy went up to her and passionately said, “Luna, you look more beautiful than I last saw you. You are a sight for sore eyes.”
Luna smiled without saying a word.
Jeremy saw the luggage she held, and a thought came to him. “Luna, you are here on vacation? Great. Let’s go for dinner later for the sake of old times. I won’t take no for an answer.”
Luna was somewhat reluctant. She did not have a good impression of Jeremy, but rejecting him felt impolite. Then, she looked at Andrius.
Andrius immediately said, “No, thank you.”
He was furious. Although he was just playing husband and wife with Luna, he had to act the part!
.
Chapter 218
The man invited Luna out for dinner in his face and was completely ignored!
What had he become?
How could the Wolf King endure such an insult? There was no way he would let the man ask Luna out for dinner.
Jeremy sized Andrius up from top to bottom. He smiled at Luna and asked, “Luna, is this your husband, Andrius? I see he’s an incompetent man, but he certainly speaks volumes.”
He then intentionally raised his hand to flex his Rolex on his wrist. He looked at Andrius from a condescending angle and said, “Andrius Moonshade, I know you. A nameless poor guy from the western mountains. No background, incompetent, and poor. Ask yourself: are you worthy of Luna? And you are speaking on her behalf? Only a successful man like me..”
Jeremy took one step closer and arrogantly raised his fist. “With a massive resort is worthy of Luna. When she’s with me, we will be invincible. You? If you know what’s best for you, you should get the hell out of my face.”
Andrius could not hold back his laughter. He scrutinized Jeremy from top to bottom. “You? A successful man? Having a resort makes you invincible with her?”
The contempt in his words was obvious.
Jeremy replied strangely, “I am not really a successful man, but this resort is worth 300 million!”
He emphasized the value of his resort to insult Andrius.
“A poor guy like you can’t even afford to buy a toilet in my resort if you work for your entire life.”
Andrius was triggered.
If the man believed he could not afford to buy a toilet in his resort, then he ought to prove the man wrong. He called Sonia right away. “Ms. Timberland, there’s a resort near the beach called Galaxy Way Resort. heard it is worth 300 million. Buy it.”
Sonia agreed without a second thought, but Andrius‘ words made Jeremy laugh. He guffawed so hard that his belly hurt and almost lost his balance.
After laughing hard for a while, Jeremy straightened himself and pointed at Andrius, ridiculing, “Andrius Moonshade, are all the folks from the mountains such brags? You made me laugh, literally. You want to buy the 300 million resort with just one call? Do you really think you can pay with leaves from the mountain? How pitiful…”
Jeremy shook his head as if he felt bad for Andrius‘ intellect.
Luna reacted sourly to the scene.
‘Andrius has done it again. How embarrassing.‘
“Luna!” Jeremy then turned to Luna and took the opportunity to say, “Look at him. Spending your life with this idiot is a waste of your beauty and brains. Come with me. We are made for each other. I love you…”
Before he could finish, Luna interrupted him coldly, “Jeremy, stop it! It’s impossible between us!”
She then grabbed Andrius‘ arm and went upstairs. While she resented Jeremy, she was angry at Andrius.
Jeremy watched Luna’s beautiful back as she disappeared beyond the elevator. His eyes narrowed and he grinned maliciously.
Chapter 219
“What a good day…”
After setting up his malicious plan, Jeremy felt excited.
Even the salty sea breeze felt sweet. He hummed a melody as he started to picture how steamy getting into bed with Luna would be. After all, she was known to be one of the most beautiful women in Sumeria.
It would be a sleepless night today.
Ring…
Then, Jeremy’s phone rang.
It was from an unregistered number. He was in a good mood, so he answered it.
A frosty voice came from the other side of the call. “I am Sonia Timberland. I am looking for the owner of Galaxy Way Resort, Jeremy Todd.”
“Ms. Timberland?” Jeremy was stunned for a moment before he said, “I–I am Jeremy Todd, the owner of Galaxy Way Resort. I wonder…”
“The Timberlands are offering 300 million to purchase your resort.”
Sonia’s words shocked Jeremy. He then realized Andrius seemed to have called Sonia earlier.
Now that Sonia called him and offered 300 million to purchase his resort, could it be…
Impossible! It was impossible!
Jeremy discarded the outrageous thoughts from his mind.
Sonia was the daughter of Bruce Timberland, one of the big three families in Sumeria. Ever since the Hendersons retired, Sonia became the richest and most influential woman in the city. Every man admired
her.
Andrius was just a nameless guy from the mountains, a poor b*stard who only knew how to boast.
They were heaven and earth apart, so how would they even know each other?
It must be a coincidence! It must be!
The thought flashed in his mind.
Jeremy immediately answered with flattery, “If it’s your idea, then I will be glad to sell it to you, Ms. Timberland.”
300 million was not the problem. The point was having a connection with the Timberlands. From there, Jeremy’s life would soon rise to the next level. He would be richer and more influential.
“Then, please come over here now. I’ll get the contract ready.”
Sonia then hung up on him.
Jeremy was over the moon.
Not only would he be able to have sex with Luna tonight, but he even got a connection to the Timberlands!
Two happy events happening in succession!
“Keep an eye out for Luna. Do a good job and you will be compensated for your work,” Jeremy said to Ken.
This would be his last time abusing his power as the owner since he agreed to sell the resort to the Timberlands. However, since his last target was his high–school love, Luna, it would draw a perfect conclusion to his sexual adventures.
On the other hand, after Luna dragged Andrius upstairs, she looked at him with a straight face and grumbled, “Andrius, can you stop bragging?”
She was fuming.
Andrius‘ bad habit had not changed no matter how many times she warned him.
Luna looked at him with her beautiful eyes. Her chest heaved strongly due to the emotional fluctuation. She said coldly, “Being poor is not something to be ashamed of, but you pretend that you aren’t and you try to go beyond your capabilities. That’s so shameful. Do you understand?”
She glared at him before she entered her room and slammed the door on him, not giving him the chance to explain.
Fine. The woman never believed him, so no explanation would matter.
Andrius sighed and returned to his own room.
Chapter 220
As the sun set over the horizon, the evening glory faded as darkness arrived.
Andrius received a call from Sonia.
“Mr. Moonshade, I have bought Galaxy Way Resort. The contract and procedures are completed.”
“Then, send me the contract tomorrow morning.”
After the call, Andrius lay on his bed and went through his military affairs.
Knock, knock.
Knocks came from his door all of a sudden, followed by Luna’s voice. “Andrius, come out. Let’s go have supper.”
Andrius had no reason to reject supper.
The two of them headed to the restaurant downstairs for supper.
Ken spotted Luna.
Therefore, after they ordered, Ken drugged Luna’s food. He mixed the sedative in properly and used a stronger spice to cover the smell. He was skilled, and it was definitely not his first time committing such
an act.
“Sir, madam.” Ken served them their food. “Please enjoy.”
After that, he retreated into the corner and observed them.
“Whoa, this smells good!” Luna had a taste with her fork. “The food at the resort is outstanding. Do you wanna have a bite?”
Andrius smiled.
The dishes smelled great, but they failed to conceal the smell of the sedative inside. It certainly would taste delicious as well.
No other restaurant would have dared to do such a thing.
Andrius knew without even thinking that it was Jeremy’s idea, but he feigned ignorance and ate with Luna.
The two of them ate happily as if the food was not drugged.
Ken watched from the corner and narrowed his eyes.
They fell for it!
Andrius and Luna finished the food swiftly.
“Uh…”
When Luna stood up, she suddenly felt dizzy but was not overly concerned and simply assumed that she got up too fast.
“Andrius, I’m a little sleepy. I’m going back to sleep. If you wanna chill, you can take a stroll but don’t cause any problems.”
After the reminder, Luna returned to her room and fell asleep.
Andrius was not planning to have a stroll, or else he would miss the upcoming show. He returned to his room and lay down on the bed.

2/2
Screech!
A while later, someone came into the room.
Jeremy came in on tiptoe. After he made sure Andrius was asleep, he left the room.
When the door was closed, Andrius sat up and looked at the closed door coldly. He was right about Jeremy. If Jeremy wanted to play, he ought to play along.
Andrius called Noir immediately and said with interest, “Noir, I have a mission for you.”
“What is it?” Noir asked, wondering.
“Go to Sumeria’s prison and find some… prisoners with a fetish, but make sure they are strong. Bring them to Galaxy Way Resort right away.”
“Oh my…” Noir was intrigued. “Alright. I’m on it.”
After the call, a hint of mischief flashed in Andrius‘ deep eyes.
When Jeremy took his pants off and he realized that he was the little lamb, how would he react?
