novelxo Chapter 221-230
Chapter 221
Jeremy was unaware of Andrius‘ plan.
After he made sure Andrius was knocked out, he snuck into Luna’s room.
Luna curled up like a sleeping kitten on the spacious bed. She looked gentle and quiet. Her fair skin, beautiful face, and curled lashes looked adorable.
While she was asleep, she looked like Sleeping Beauty from the fairy tale.
“Gulp…” Jeremy swallowed nervously. His eyes were overflowing with lust. “Luna, oh, Luna. I tried to give you a chance earlier, but you let it slip… Don’t blame me for doing this to you.”
He set up the camera on the table and angled it towards the bed. It was his usual technique.
For someone as beautiful as Luna, once was not enough. He wanted to record a sex tape to threaten her in the future.
After he turned the camera on, Jeremy went over to the bed and lifted the blanket.
Fwoop!
Looking at Luna’s sexy pink lingerie, Jeremy drooled and his saliva fell on the carpet. He stretched his hands out, trying to touch her.
Thud!
Suddenly, Andrius appeared behind him and karate–chopped the back of his neck, knocking him out cold.
Andrius took the camera to delete the recorded footage.
Then, a patter of footsteps came from the corridor. It was Noir with the prisoners.
The prisoners looked intimidating and buff; they were definitely not to be messed with.
When their eyes landed on Jeremy, they drooled all over the carpet and their eyes glinted with a strange lust. It was as though they were a pack of wolves laying their eyes on a little lamb. The distorted lust in them raged.
Andrius pointed at Jeremy on the floor and said coldly, “If you people cannot satisfy this man here tonight, all of you will be executed.”
He sounded soft, but the killing intent in between his words was obvious.
Despite being rugged and tall, all the prisoners sweated profusely when they heard Andrius‘ threat. They nodded repeatedly.
“Yes, sir! We will make sure he cums until he’s empty!”
“Yes, sir! We will make sure he climaxes multiple times!”
“Yes, sir! We will make sure he can’t walk for three days after tonight!”
“Yes, sir…”
Andrius nodded after getting assurance from the prisoners and then left with Noir.
The prisoners grabbed Jeremy into the other room while vicious and lustful grins appeared on their faces. What happened next would be a night that neither of them could forget.
The next day, Jeremy woke up with a heavy head, and he felt strange. His entire body ached terribly,
especially his crotch.
“Could I have been… too strong last night?” Jeremy muttered to himself.
When he opened his eyes and saw a few muscular men on his bed, he got frightened. As his body shuddered, he could feel terrible pain radiating from his anus.
When he spotted the satisfied grins on the men’s faces, a bad feeling rose from his heart.
Jeremy was not an idiot. He knew what happened last night. Frightened and furious, he wanted to leave this nightmarish place, but when he moved, he woke the men up.
“Hey, cutie pie, don’t go!”
“Yeah, let’s have more fun!”
“Cutie pie, I want to enter you again and again!”
“Sweetie…”
Andrius‘ intimidating words rang in the men’s heads, and they quickly pressed Jeremy onto the bed. Chills ran down Jeremy’s spine.
Chapter 222
Jeremy tried to run but could not.
It was a hurdle that he could not overcome, and it was fated that karma would get him.
His soreams filled the room, one louder than the other.
Two hours later, the men finally left.
Jeremy lay on the bed like a dead fish. He took half an hour to recover some stamina before he slowly got up.
When he got out of bed and tried to stand on his feet, his legs turned into jelly, and he fell to the floor.
Jeremy held the wall and pulled himself up, limping out of the crime scene step by step.
He went to check the surveillance camera. He found out that after he entered Luna’s room, Andrius had followed him inside.
That man had been faking it! He was behind the entire plan!
“Andrius Moonshade…” Jeremy’s narrowed eyes glinted coldly. He bellowed with gritted teeth, “I’ll spell my name backward if I don’t kill you!”
Then, his secretary, Lizzie, called him. “Sir, Ms. Sonia Timberland is here at the resort.”
“Got it.”
Jeremy hung up the phone. He changed into some fresh clothes and put some cologne on to cover the disgusting stench before he headed to his office.
Half a minute later, Jeremy arrived at the office, but he realized that the door was already open.
Ms. Timberland had arrived?
He took a deep breath, adjusted his clothes, and endured the stinging pain from his anus before he walked inside.
However, he was stunned when he saw only one person inside–it was Andrius. He was sitting in Jeremy’s chair, leaning back and relaxing.
When the door opened, Andrius opened his eyes and looked at Jeremy in a mocking manner.
Jeremy was infuriated. “Andrius Moonshade!” he bellowed viciously. His raging gaze was filled with hatred from the man who set him up.
“I haven’t even gotten to you and you came to me? Security! Where is the security?!”
However, he got agitated and accidentally stretched his crotch. The agony almost caused him to lose hist balance.
Andrius laughed at him. It seemed like the men Noir got did a great job in satisfying Jeremy. He smiled faintly and teased, “Jeremy, you are too weak. That was just one night with the guys, and you can’t even stand properly already? Don’t get so excited.”
He was sprinkling salt on Jeremy’s wound.
Jeremy was fuming.
The security guards arrived in front of the office.
Chapter
2/2
The angry Jeremy pointed at Andrius and roared, “F*ck him up! I want you all to wreck him! I’ll bear all responsibility if anything happens!”
The security guards entered the office and surrounded Andrius.
Clack! Clack!
Before the security guards could lay a finger on Andrius, clear clacks from a woman’s heels sounded from the corridor.
Jeremy turned around and saw Sonia. He went up to her with a flattering smile. “Ms. Timberland! I am so sorry about this. Someone is causing a mess here. I’ll deal with it real fast.”
He then snapped his fingers at the security guards.
Sonia’s face turned frosty. She said, “This is Mr. Moonshade’s premises. I think you are the one causing a
mess here.”
Jeremy was stunned.
What did she mean?
He could not understand her words.
Then, Sonia gave Andrius the contract for the resort. “Mr. Moonshade, from today onwards, the Galaxy Way Resort is yours.”
Sonia respected Andrius as if she was worshipping a God.
In fact, Andrius took the contract nonchalantly as if he was a God.
Jeremy was stunned on the spot.
Chapter 223
What was going on?
In the blink of an eye, a thousand thoughts ran through Jeremy’s head. He finally realized what happened.
When Andrius confidently made the call yesterday and asked a woman named Ms. Timberland to buy the resort, Jeremy then received a call from Sonia after a while.
Sonia had offered 300 million to purchase his resort.
He also thought of the men who had r*ped him. They must also be under Andrius‘ command. They all looked vicious and intimidating and not a part of them looked like common citizens. They must be from prison.
Andrius was not just a nameless guy from the mountains!
He was not pretending! He was someone powerful, so powerful that even Sonia revered and respected
him.
The more he pondered, the more anxious he got. He sweated profusely and wet his expensive shirt.
Thud!
He knelt down before Andrius and started to plead, “Mr. Moonshade, please forgive me. I was blind and I was not myself yesterday. Please forgive me. Spare me once, and I will do anything!”
Jeremy pleaded and cried on his knees.
Andrius ignored him and said to the security guards, “Take him away and send him to room 305.”
The men he summoned from prison had finished their meals and rested, so the ‘game‘ continued.
The security guards already knew that Andrius was the new boss of the resort. Therefore, they carried out his first order meticulously.
They disregarded Jeremy’s struggles and screams and brought him away.
After Andrius dealt with Jeremy, he received a call from Luna.
She sounded annoyed. “Andrius, where are you? The auction is happening soon! Come down to the restaurant and have breakfast!”
The call ended.
Andrius headed to the restaurant immediately.
Luna was halfway done. She looked at him with a straight face and said, “I said you could take a stroll and you went to have fun? Look at the time! Hurry up and finish your breakfast, or we won’t make it in time!”
Luna glared at Andrius, seemingly trying to blame him for not being punctual.
Andrius had gotten used to her attitude, so he was not overly bothered. He munched on his breakfast quickly.
Then, a thought about the auction rushed into his mind. He simply asked, “Riverfront Entertainment should be a hot cake. How much funds have you prepared?”
“200 million,” Luna said without a second thought.
200 million?
Andrius might not be an insider, but he knew that the Riverfront was a promising company with a future. The celebrities that it signed up had large fanbases, so it would definitely grow.
200 million was not enough. He believed that Luna knew it as well.
Luna suddenly looked disheartened. She explained, “We got a billion last time, but in order to hasten the progress on the Valiant Institute project, I invested a portion into it. Plus some smaller projects, here and there… 200 is my limit.”
Andrius frowned when he heard her but he did not say a word.
If the bidding price for Riverfront Company exceeded 200 million, he had plans to use his own money to get the company for Luna. He would consider it a present to her. It was no big deal.
After breakfast, the two of them headed to the auction hall.
A few steps later, a young man in an Armani suit stopped Luna. He whistled and teased her frivolously,” Hey, girl. I like you. Can I have your number? Let’s be friends.”
Luna sized the man up from top to bottom and saw nothing but branded items. She was not bothered though. She simply asked, “Who are you? Why should I be friends with you?”
Several other men came out from behind the young man, all looking arrogant and proud.
“Hey, babe. This is the young master of the Millers from the capital, Charlie Miller!”
“Young Master Miller wants to befriend you because he likes you. Don’t be such a killjoy.”
“Yeah.”
“Hurry up. Tell us your phone number. Stop wasting our time.”
They sounded pushy and rude, and it disgusted Luna.
Andrius was similarly angry as well. Luna was his nominal wife, yet the punks were teasing his wife in
front of him.
Was he invisible? Or non–existent?
“Hey, you..
hapter 224
Andrius glared at Charlie and said coldly, “I don’t care what kind of young master you are. Get the hell away from my face. If you continue to harass my woman, I will shove your head into the toilet bowl.”
His words silenced everyone for at least three seconds.
Charlie did not expect someone would threaten him under broad daylight. After all, he was from a wealthy family from the capital.
What the f*ck?
Was it because he looked nice, so others bullied him?
“Punk! You’re tough, eh? You, and you, and you, get…” Charlie bellowed and ordered his men to beat Andrius up.
Then, his butler, Uncle Stan, held him back and whispered into his ear, “Sir, we are here on a mission. We shoulder the family’s duty. You can get a woman after we are done with the mission..
“If we are unable to complete the mission your father assigned, he will punish all of us. We must prioritize Riverfront Entertainment first.”
E
Charlie was fuming, but he was forced to hold his temper back.
Andrius and Luna had left by then.
Charlie had a frosty look as he watched the two of them walk away from his sight. He pouted his lips and said to one of his followers, “Go, keep an eye on them. After the auction, I’ll get them!”
The man nodded and went after Luna and Andrius.
The auction finally started. Luna and Andrius sat down and waited.
Luna’s target was Riverfront Entertainment.
A while later, the last item was put on auction. The auctioneer announced on stage, “The last item for the day will be… Riverfront Entertainment! This company is one of the best–performing ones, and it was founded by the richest man in Sumeria, Anthony Henderson. It is already profiting shortly after operating and…”
After a short introduction, the auctioneer named the price, “We will start at 800 million. Each call is a million. Let the bidding begin.”
The floor was riled up.
“90 million!” 2
“95 million!”
“100 million! I’m getting it!”
“100? Who are you joking? 105 million!”
Luna joined the bid.
“110 million!”
Charlie’s laughter came from the VIP room. “The woman is here to buy Riverfront Entertainment as well? We must be fated.”
He immediately increased the price. “120 million.”
Chapter 224
2/2
Luna heard his voice as well, but it did not stop her. She increased the price again. “125 million.”
“130 million!” Charlie raised the price without a second thought. After that, he looked at Luna with a teasing gaze.
Luna was angry, but she could not do anything either. She continued to raise the price, “140 million.”
“150 million.”
No matter how much Luna raised, Charlie would top her by a little.
Luna was furious. She decided to make her final offer, which was also her limit. “200 million!”
“210 million.”
Charlie continued his provocative raise. He was not deterred by the price and simply looked at Luna with
a teasing gaze.
Luna was disheartened. 200 million was her limit and she still could not do anything to Charlie.
Charline could tell Luna had reached her limit. He chuckled and ridiculed her, “Girl, why are you spending that much money to buy the company? Why don’t you marry me? That way, you can become the chairman’s wife without spending a penny. One stone, two birds.”
He cackled loudly after that.
Luna flushed with anger. She clenched her fists tightly, and her joints started to turn pale due to the excessive strength.
Andrius then frowned.
If Charlie wanted to play, so would he. With that, Andrius said, “300 million!”
Chapter 225

Chapter 225
Luna was stunned. She only had 200 million worth of funds, yet Andrius raised the price to 300 million.
He must be trying to cause trouble again!
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Charlie shook his head disapprovingly. He came from the capital, so he was naturally more arrogant than others. In addition to his funds, he did not take Andrius seriously at all.
Besides, buying Riverfront Entertainment was a mission his family assigned him, so there was no point in him being afraid of the price.
“One hundred million more? How terrifying. What’s wrong? What did I say just now that pissed you off?” Charlie wore a villainous smile and put four of his fingers up. “Excuse me. I’m rich and I can do whatever I
want. 400 million!”
Gasp!
The other attendees gasped. They were in awe of how rich young people were nowadays. Each raise was a hundred million! It was as though the price was just a number and not money!
How ridiculous!
After Charlie raised the price, he looked at Andrius and Luna again with an annoying face.
Andrius had more than a trillion in his pocket. His personal assets could rival that of a middle–tier country. Why would he be afraid of some Trust Fund Kid?
“500 million.”
“Yooo…” Charlie was slightly surprised before he raised the price again. “600 million!”
All the attendees were in awe of the price war.
Based on rough calculations, Riverfront Entertainment might be a profitable company, but its value was only around 500 million.
The price war between Andrius and Charlie was purely impulsive. It was the first time others had seen the price increase by a hundred million per call.
“700 million,” Andrius said without a second thought.
To him, he had more money than he could spend for the rest of his life, so a few hundred million was just a small figure.
However, Luna was truly afraid. She tugged Andrius‘ sleeve and signaled him to stop. Andrius was driven by emotions right now and did not answer her signals or calls.
“800 million!”
Even though Charlie remained arrogant, he no longer sounded as confident as before. He only has one billion worth of funds, so 800 million was one step closer to his limit and exceeded his expectation.
“900 million!” Andrius remained calm as he raised the price.
Luna was already cursing inwardly.
Andrius…
She had warned him not to cause a scene or bluff yesterday but he was doing the most outrageous thing during the auction.
Chapter 225
2/2
If he lost the bid to Charlie, that would be fine; if he won the bid and was unable to pay up, what would
she do about it?
Luna got nervous and anxious like she had ants in her pants.
900 million pressured even Charlie. However, in order to not lose face to Andrius, he feigned a calm look and continued to raise the price. “One billion!”
One billion?!
The other attendees were flabbergasted by the number.
Other families might not even be worth a billion if they sold everything, yet Charlie made it sound like it was pocket money.
Did he have a money printer at home?
Andrius chuckled. He could see that Charlie was pushing it. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Young Master Miller, I’m sorry. I’m raising the price to 1.1 billion. I win again. Are you calling or not?”
Charline was fuming. He thought it was going to be a sure win with his funds. It turned out exactly like he expected, but he was not the one who won the auction.
There was no use even if he boiled in anger. The auction could only be won by money, not temper.
Since the price had exceeded his budget, Charlie stopped calling and allowed the auctioneer to hammer the mullet three times.
“1.1 billion, calling once, twice and… sold! Riverfront Entertainment is sold to Ms. Crestfall for 1.1 billion!”
The auctioneer announced the final price for the company.
Thud!
Charlie had a sour look on his face as he tapped the arm of his chair strongly.
“Sir, please calm down.” The butler, Uncle Stan, whispered viciously into his ear, “The woman struggled when she was calling for 200 million. That is obviously her limit. Maybe, the guy beside her is just trying to show off and doesn’t have the money. Let’s just wait and see.”
Charlie’s eyes glinted maliciously when he heard his butler. Uncle Stan was right!

Luna stopped after the bid reached 200 million.
However, Andrius pushed the price all the way to 1.1 billion.
How Ndiculous!
Charlie looked at Luna with a scornful expression.
Her mind went blank!
The auctioneer was calling her from the stage, “Ms. Crestfall, please come up on stage to examine the item and make your payment.”
Luna did not have the money, so how was she going to pay the auctioneer?
With her life?
Andrius got up on his feet with a card in his hand. The card in his hand looked plain and somewhat used. It had even lost its original gloss.
Everyone else was shocked.
“Damn…”
“This card doesn’t fit someone who has 1.1 billion.”
“I don’t think that card can hold that much money as well.”
“Tsk, tsk. This is going to be fun.”
“It’s been a long time since I saw something this interesting at an auction. My trip here is now worth it.”
The floor became excited when Andrius stood up.
No one believed that his card would have 1.1 billion.
Charlie sneered at him openly, “So, that’s your 1.1 billion? How terrifying. Punk, you must have gone out of your mind with all the boasting!”
Luna lowered her head in embarrassment to the point that she almost touched her chest with her forehead. She was worried, embarrassed, and regretful.
If she knew Andrius would cause such an embarrassing scene, she would not have brought him here.
The auctioneer’s patience wore thin, and he was ready to berate Andrius and Luna openly.
Then, one of the workers came up on stage and whispered something into his ear, and the auctioneer’s expression changed drastically from a frosty look to a gentle expression with a wide smile.
His anger was swiftly replaced by respect.
The entire process of his changing his expression was so smooth and subtle that it could be used as teaching material for actors and actresses.
“I
Sow announce that Riverfront Entertainment belongs to Ms. Crestfall. Ms. Crestfall, please come up on
stage to sign the transfer contract.”
He looked at Luna with utmost flattery.
The dramatic change in his expression stunned everyone else.
What happened?
The auctioneer was asking Luna for payment a moment ago, but now, he skipped the part and called Luna up on stage to sign the transfer contract?
No matter how hard everyone thought about it, no one knew what could have happened.
However, it was good news for Luna.
Luna looked at the auctioneer before she went up on stage and followed him backstage where the answer was waiting for.
“What is going on?” Luna asked when she arrived backstage with Andrius.
The auctioneer looked at her with jealousy and pouty lips. He pointed at one of the rooms and said, “Ms. Timberland has cleared the payment for you. She’s waiting for you in the room.”
Andrius finally realized what happened, while Luna was still having a hard time wrapping her head around
the situation.
Luna knocked on the door and entered after she got permission.
“Ms. Timberland…..” Luna’s head was filled with question marks. “Why did you buy Riverfront
Entertainment for me?”
“Ms. Crestfall, please don’t take it the wrong way.”
Sonia smiled and explained, “I have asked my specialist to analyze the market and value Riverfront Entertainment. It has the potential to grow into the biggest entertainment company in the country. While it does have a lot of potential…
“My family is trying to stretch our reach, but we don’t have enough manpower and energy to venture into showbiz, so I propose a collaboration. I’ll pay and you manage.
“As usual, we share the ownership and profit 50-50. We don’t want any equity and will not be involved in any decision–making. How does that sound?”
How did it sound?
It was a free lunch from heaven! How else could it sound?
Luna felt surreal until she looked at the contract. The terms were exactly as Sonia said, and there was no problem with it.
She had no reason to reject Sonia’s offer and quickly signed her name on it.
Sonia was not doing charity or trying to venture into the entertainment industry. She did it because of Andrius.
While the girls talked about the details, Andrius had some tea. After his bladder was full, he got up and went to the toilet.
“Punk, we meet again!”
As soon as Andrius stepped out, a group of men stopped him. The leader of the group looked vicious, and it was none other than Charlie.

“If you have anything to say, just spit it out right now,” Andrius said after a quick glance at Charlie.
“Punk, you’re tough, ain’t ya?” Charlie’s expression turned grim. He glared at Andrius fiercely and said, ” Listen to me right now. I’ll give you one chance. Bring that girl to me and hand over Riverfront Entertainment, or else…”
Charlie grinned and continued to threaten Andrius, “I will tell my men to break all your limbs and f*ck your woman in front of you!”
Slap!
Before Charlie could finish, Andrius slapped him in the face, and the blow almost knocked his lips off.
“What the f*ck…” Charlie was furious. He glared at Andrius again and shouted, “Get him! If he dies, I’ll take
care of it!”
As soon as his words subsided, his men stepped up. They cracked their fists, looking intimidating as they surrounded Andrius immediately.
Andrius remained calm as he threw a punch at one of the men.
Thud!
The first man who threw himself over was knocked out before he could even react. His body was sent flying backward, crashing into the wall behind him.
Slap!
Thunk!
Thwop!
Andrius threw a barrage of punches and slaps at the men.
Each strike sent a man flying away, and each kick knocked them off their balance.
“Aaaarrgh!”
“Stop it!”
“My hand!”
“My waist!”
In less than thirty seconds, Charlie’s men were all knocked out. They were either curled up in pain on the floor or crying in excruciating pain.
“It’s your turn now.”
Then, Andrius smiled at Charlie.
The smile was similar to the devil’s smile. Charlie peed his pants and stammered, “D–don’t come near me!”
As he staggered backward, he continued to threaten Andrius, “I am a Miller from the capital. If you touch me, you will be making an enemy out of the Millers! My father and my grandfather won’t forgive you!”
Andrius did not care. He grabbed Charlie by the neck and headed to the toilet.
“Let go of me! Let go! You…” Charlie was terrified. He struggled and screamed, “Where are you taking
me?!”
“Don’t worry.” Andrius dragged Charlie into the toilet and said with a smile, “I won’t kill you, but I want you to remember this.”
“What are you trying to do?” Charlie had a bad feeling about what Andrius was going to do to him. “Don’t… Gulp… Gulp… Gulp!”
Andrius shoved Charlie’s head into the toilet bowl.
Charlie was caught off guard and accidentally drank a few mouthfuls of toilet water. He was anxious, angry, and aggrieved, but Andrius held him down so hard that he failed to break free.
“I said if you continue to harass my woman, I will shove your head into the toilet. I want you to remember that.” Andrius grunted. He relieved himself before he headed back to Sonia’s room.
Luna and Sonia were almost done with the discussion.
“Ms. Timberland, now that we’ve discussed the details, I’ll be on my way,” Luna asked to be excused
since Andrius was back.
“Alright. Take care, Ms. Crestfall.” Sonia nodded with a smile.
Luna then brought Andrius out of the auction hall.
“Andrius…”
When they got into the car, Luna wore a frosty look and said, “Do you know how risky it was back then? You are putting the family in harm’s way! How dare you simply raise the price during the bid? If it was not for Sonia Timberland, you will be pushing our family over the edge again!”
Luna looked at him in disappointment. “Did you hear what I said? When can you change your bad habits?”
Andrius was silenced. It was just 1.1 billion which was not a big deal to him.
He said frivolously, “I know what I am doing. Even without the Timberlands, I can fork out 1.1 billion to buy Riverfront Entertainment.”
“Hahaha!” Luna got so angry that she laughed.
She looked at Andrius scornfully and said, “Andrius, do you know how much is 1.1 billion? How dare you say something like that? If you change that amount of money into 100–dollar bills, it can drown you alive!”
Andrius was speechless and helpless. He took the worn–out card and explained, “I know how much 1.1 billion is, but there is a lot of money inside this card. You can have as many 1.1 billions as you want!”
Looking at the faded card, Luna got even angrier. With Andrius fueling her anger and wearing her patience thin, she was on the verge of breaking down.
“Fine!” Luna looked at him with a straight face and snatched the card from his hand. She got into the car and said, “Let’s go to the bank and see how much money you have in this card!”
While she was driving, she continued, “Andrius, let me make this straight for you. If you don’t have that much money in the card, you will have to be honest and stop bragging!”
The two of them arrived at the nearest bank.
As the CEO of New Moon Corporation, Luna was a VIP at many banks, so she went to the VIP counter immediately.
She shoved the card over the counter and said, “I want you to check how much money is inside this card.”
She even glanced at Andrius when she spoke to the teller.
Chapter 227
Luna’s sudden arrival garnered attention across the branch, and it turned heads.
“Okay, Ms. Crestfall. Please hold on.”
The teller took the card and swiped it on the machine.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The machine beeped sharply as a siren went off.
Everyone else was startled and surprised.
What just happened?
Was it not just a card swipe? What was with the sudden siren–like beeping? Was it the card?
Everyone looked at Andrius and Luna suspiciously, wondering what they were doing.
Luna was stunned for a second before she looked at the monitor.
There were a lot of zeros on the screen–more than ten! She had never seen so many zeros on a bank
card before!
3/3
Chapter 228
Luna looked at Andrius.
Based on what she knew, he was from the mountains in the west. Still, he should have some money in the
card. It should not be all zeros.
Looking at all the zeros on the screen, which was a first for her, Luna’s expression turned bitter.
To silence Andrius, she asked the teller, “What is this? Why is the screen showing all zeros?”
The teller simply said, “What else? They’re all zeros because there’s zero money inside.”
Her words enlightened the others who were listening. They started whispering to each other.
“I thought he was a VIP, but it seems like that’s not the case. All zeros in the card?”
“Hahaha!”
“Even if I have a few thousand in the card, how could there be zeros?”
They intentionally raised their voices as they mocked and sneered at Andrius.
Luna’s expression turned bitter when she heard the whispers.
Andrius frowned. This should not be the case. He had received a text a while back informing him that he
received ten billion in the card, so how could it be all zeros?
Unbeknownst to him, the businesses that he invested in and co–owned would only transfer the money when the amount reached ten billion. Anything less would not be transferred to his card. 1
Therefore, the card had no numbers other than zeros in the first ten digits since it was tens of billion added together.
Andrius had no idea. He asked the teller, “Check it with your computer in the back office. It should be
clearer, and there shouldn’t be an error.”
“Why are you asking me to check it?” the teller asked in annoyance. She continued scornfully, “This machine has never shown an error for as long as it is operating, so why would it show an error with your card? Why are you so different from others? You are penniless and that’s a fact. Take the card and leave. Don’t disturb my work.”
The teller gave the card back to Luna.
Luna took the card with a bitter expression. She shoved it into Andrius‘ hand and dragged him out of the bank.
A while after they left, the bank director, Forest Numeral, came down and asked, “I heard the siren. Who swiped a card just now? Which counter?”
The bank director came down just because of the siren?
The teller at the VIP counter immediately said, “Sir, it was my counter. It was just some error. Someone came to check their card balance, but all the screen showed were zeros, so I told them to leave.”
Forest was stunned on the spot for two seconds. He glared at the teller and sweated profusely. He was angry and terrified.
“Are you blind? You told him to leave?! What is in that brain of yours? If the card has no money, it shows zero point zero–zero, not all zeros! You stupid idiot! How could you tell the VIP guest to leave?!” Furiously, Forest shouted, “It’s over. You can pack your things and collect your final payslip from finance.”
The teller was stunned. Did she lose her job because of this?
“Sir, I…”
She wanted to beg and plead, but Forest stopped her. “Get out, or I will blacklist you!”
The teller left the bank with a broken heart.
On the other hand, after Luna and Andrius left the bank, Luna’s criticism never stopped.
“Andrius, what else do you have to say for yourself? Where’s the money that you mentioned? Where is it?” Luna glared at him coldly and sneered at him, “You embarrassed us at the bank! Are you happy now? All zeros? I have never seen something like that before! You really opened my eyes!
“Stop with your bluffing and bragging! You may be okay with it, but I find it embarrassing!”
Luna fired her criticism at Andrius like a machine gun and did not give him a chance to speak.
When she paused to catch her breath, Andrius tried to speak, but she immediately recovered her breath and continued criticizing him.
She took a few hundred dollars out from her purse and shoved them into Andrius” hand. “Get a ride on your own.”
She then got into the car and drove off angrily.
“F*ck!”
Andrius was enraged as well after the woman berated him.
She was self–centered and stubborn, and she never gave him the chance to explain or trusted him.

F*ck!
Andrius looked at the money in his hand. He sighed and decided wait for a taxi.
A while later, a familiar figure appeared before him.
Marcus!
Marcus was surprised to see Andrius here as well. He respectfully asked, “Wolf King? What are you doing here?”
Andrius helplessly explained what just happened.
Marcus‘ eyes brightened as ideas filled his head.
“Wolf King… Ahem….” He cleared his throat and said sincerely, “There’s actually a lot of knowledge regarding a woman. It’s like how soldiers prefer different weapons.
“Some like assault rifles to charge into the enemy’s frontline; some like to seize the vantage point with at sniper. Oh, don’t forget about those who liked knives and close combat.
“If you can’t get along with your woman, it means you are having the wrong weapon. No matter how good
weapon is, a soldier who doesn’t like it or cannot handle it well cannot bring out its full potential. There will be a lot of problems.”
His words made sense, but it was not his true intention. If the Wolf King could not get along with Luna, then his daughter, Noelle, would stand a chance.
Other than Noelle being a little too rough around the edges, she was not half–bad compared to Luna, and it was not a big problem. No matter how rough or rude Noelle could be, if she knew that Andrius was the Wolf King, she would be as timid as a little lamb.
Andrius was having a headache. He did not want to listen to Marcus‘ advice anymore. In a few more months, he could finally get rid of Luna and go back to his old life.
He switched the topic and asked, “Marcus, what are you doing here?”
Marcus frowned. He honestly said, “Wolf King, you have no idea. Ever since you commanded the Hendersons to retire, there are a lot of empty markets in the city, and many foreign companies are swarming into the city.
“They are rich and influential, and they have bought out quite a number of business chains in Sumeria without a second thought. They have already secured quite a large market share.
“If this continues, it will affect Sumeria’s economic growth in the future. That’s why I am here to have a
look at the matter.”
Marcus was right. Be it a village or a town, or even the entire country, the federal government always promoted local growth because it would help develop the country.
“Got any ideas who they are?” Andrius asked.
“Yeah, but it’s tough to deal with.” Marcus shook his head, seemingly having a headache. “There are a lot of different factions from different cities, but the one in the lead is the Millers from the capital. They have rooted themselves in the capital, so what we do here can barely affect them.”
The Millers?
Andrius chuckled.
“Marcus, I have a piece of advice for you. You don’t need to go after the Millers for now. Even if you manage to deter them for now, before the local companies can absorb what the Hendersons left behind, there will only be another similar to the Millers or more.
“Why not let the Millers take everything and then strike them at a critical moment, forcing them to throw up whatever they have eaten? It will also make an example out of them.”
Marcus‘ eyes shone. “Thank you for the advice, Wolf King.”
Andrius waved his hand leisurely.
“Wolf King, I don’t need to be here now that I have your advice. Why don’t I drive you back?”
“Sure.”
After Marcus sent Andrius home, he went to the police station. He was going to tell Noelle about Andrius‘
true identity.
“What are you doing here?”
Noelle showed almost no respect for her father.
Marcus touched his nose and said, “You are not young anymore, so I’m planning to introduce someone to you. Go on a date if you have the time.”
“What?” Annoyed, Noelle said, “I will deal with it on my own. Stop poking into my own matters. AND!”
She glared at Marcus and warned him without the slightest courtesy, “I’ll make myself clear. Don’t even think of using my marriage as your bargaining chip to secure yourself a higher post. Don’t even think about it! I already have someone!”
Noelle then left the room.
Marcus was agitated by his daughter’s attitude. He was left stunned on the spot, not knowing what else
to say.
Then, an officer passed by, and Marcus grabbed his hand. “I heard your captain saying that she has someone she likes. Do you know who it is?”
“I have no idea, Mayor Freely.” The officer shook his head and said, “But, the captain has been frequently visiting the Royal Garden recently. I wonder…”
The Royal Garden?
Was it not the Wolf King’s place?
Could the ‘someone‘ she mentioned be the Wolf King?
Chapter 230
The more Marcus thought about it, the more plausible he felt it was.
The Wolf King was an amazing man. If he was a woman, he would want to marry the Wolf King himself, let alone his daughter who admired soldiers.
It made sense!
It made all the sense in the world!
If Noelle liked Andrius, then Marcus would not need to interfere. All he needed to do was support from the side and things would turn out in the best way.
Marcus grinned brightly.
The officer saw the sudden change of expression on the mayor’s face. From a gloomy expression to a silly grin in just one second, it confused him.
He carefully asked, “Sir, may I be excused now?”
“Ahem….” Marcus cleared his throat and said, “If your captain is bored or has nothing to do, tell her to visit the Royal Garden more, understand?”
The officer was more confused than ever, but he nodded regardless. “Yes, sir.”
Marcus nodded happily and strode out of the station.
On the other hand, after Charlie was shoved into the toilet bowl by Andrius, no matter how hard he brushed or gargled his mouth, or how much he threw up, he could not get rid of the taste of urine and feces on his tongue.
He resented Andrius. He went back and spoke to his brother, Carson Miller.
“Bro, you have to help me.”
Charlie told Carson what happened, but he distorted the truth and made himself the victim of the entire
incident.
As tears filled his brother’s eyes, Carson was angry.
They were the young Millers from the capital. No one dared to offend them even in the capital, yet someone bullied Charlie in Sumeria.
How could something like this happen?
If Carson did not avenge Charlie, the family name would be shamed.
“Don’t worry, Charlie,” Carson said coldly. “I will avenge you. Not only will I retake Riverfront Entertainment, but I will put Andrius Moonshade’s wife on your bed!”
Uncle Stan overheard them and looked worried. He said, “Young Master Carson, it’s not that simple. The Crestfalls are not that powerful, but after some research, everything that has happened in Sumeria lately are related to them.
“The Hanshus, one of the big three families in Sumeria, and the Hendersons, also one of the big three, went against the Crestfalls, and they all ended badly. Even the Crestfalls of the capital…”
Uncle Stan’s voice grew softer as he continued.
Even they, the Millers, dared not offend the Crestfalls from the capital.
“The Crestfalls came to Sumeria a while ago, seeking revenge as well, but they were sent back empty- handed. Even Idris Crestfall’s grandson, Cain, is still hospitalized. The Crestfalls of Sumeria have some strong support.”
As the butler of the family, Uncle Stan was much more experienced than the brothers and managed to get quite the information on the Crestfalls within the shortest time. He sounded serious as well.
Carson was not overly bothered nonetheless. He smiled and said, “Uncle Stan, the peaceful days of the Crestfalls of Sumeria are coming to an end. Master Idris is asking the three experts to come out from seclusion, and the Crestfalls of Sumeria will be doomed.”
The three experts?
Carson did not mention the names, but after Charlie and Uncle Stan heard it, their expressions shifted.
The names of the three experts were a taboo in the capital because their names alone could frighten people to death.
Uncle Stan immediately asked, “Young Master Carson, where did you get the news? Is it legit?”
Carson chuckled. “I saw Idris Crestfall’s car heading to Mount Devil’s Tears on my way here.”
Uncle Stan and Charlie shuddered when they heard the name of the location.
Mount Devil’s Tears was where the three experts cultivated in secret. It was a forbidden place in the capital, and normal people would never set foot there.
