hapter 241
“I’m the captain of the police department, Jimmy Brown!”
Jimmy flashed his badge, then pointed to Andrius and said rudely, “Kid, you’re suspected of gathering a crowd to incite a fight with the intent to kill… Come with me!”
Then, he motioned to the other officers for them to come forward and arrest Andrius.
“Captain Brown!”
Luna was immediately upset. She pointed at Carson and explained, “They started it. We were just sparring…
“Even if you want to arrest someone, you’d have to arrest the others too!”
She did not know that Carson had summoned Jimmy. How could he take Carson back to the station? Jimmy immediately sneered at Luna, “You said that they started it, but can you tell me how?”
Luna was instantly speechless.
It was indeed not Carson who made the first move, but Lobo and Ivan. However, they had already run
away…
“Tom, Ben, cuff him!” Jimmy commanded two officers to come forward.
A sinister light flashed in Charlie and Carson’s eyes with a hint of schadenfreude.
How could Andrius continue fighting?
He would not dare to resist the police.
When faced with the police, everyone had to be obedient. They had to tuck their tails in and behave!
A cold light flashed in Andrius‘ eyes as he looked at Jimmy.
He was not as easy to fool as Luna. He could tell at a glance that Jimmy was in cahoots with the Millers. They were targeting him.
Crack…
Just as the two o
were
All the police officers were about to make a move, Andrius crushed the glass in his hand.
Andrius Moonshade…
He was quite something!
shocked.
However, it did not make the officers fearful. Instead, it only angered them.
“Kid, are you going to resist?”
Jimmy’s expression instantly turned cold. The ominous glint flickered in his eyes, and his right hand inched toward the pistol at his waist.
“If you dare to resist a law enforcer, I’ll shoot to kill!”
Click!
Swoosh!
All the other officers also pulled out their guns, the black muzzle of their guns aimed at Andrius. As long
as he dared to make the slightest movement, they would not hesitate to shoot and kill him on the spot. Andrius‘ face instantly turned cold.
He had killed countless enemies invading the border, and he had the merit of defending and guarding the safety of the country, as well as the peace and happiness of its people.
However, when he came to Sumeria, he was being held at gunpoint by these people. Did they really think. that the name of the Wolf King was just for show?
Luna was instantly frightened and quickly tugged on Andrius‘ arm. “Andrius, don’t be rash, or it’ll be considered an obstruction of justice. The situation will only escalate. Just go with them for now. I’ll try to bail you out as soon as possible!”
When Andrius heard this, the anger in his eyes gradually faded.
Forget it.
Since Carson wanted to play, he would play.
With that thought, the corners of Andrius‘ lips curled up. Then, he swept away the glass shards in his palm.
“You… What are you planning, kid? You’d better not mess around!”
Jimmy and the others were immediately nervous. Cold sweat beaded on their forehead, and their index finger pressing on the trigger trembled slightly.
“Don’t be nervous.” Andrius grinned and showed his pearly whites. “I just felt that the glass shards were prickling me, so I brushed them away.”
After saying that, he brushed the shards to the table next to him.
Clink, clink, clink…
Chapter 242
Clink, clink, clink…
The glass shards fell without stopping on the solid mahogany table.
Jimmy and the other officers found themselves relaxing for some reason. Their hearts slowly settled down, and their tense nerves eased a lot.
“Let’s go.”
Without further ado, Jimmy stepped up to cuff Andrius, then went to the police car outside.
Andrius leisurely walked step by step.
In the room, a sinister smile emerged on Carson’s face.
However, Luna’s expression was filled with worry. She hurriedly left and got ready to go back to think of a way to bail Andrius out soon.
Crack!
Crack, crack!
Jus
strange noises sounded in the room.
Carson and
Charlie both looked in the direction of the sound in confusion. Soon, their gazes landed on the solid mahogany table.
Crack…
“What…”
Both of them could not help but gasp at what they saw.
The brand–new mahogany table had countless fine cracks webbing across it, originating from the glass shards stuck in it. It was as dense and intricate as the roots of an old tree!
Charlie’s mouth went dry. He tried to swallow, but there was no saliva in his mouth at all.
Carson’s expression was solemn and thoughtful.
After a moment, he said gruffly, “Charlie, Andrius isn’t a simple man. We mustn’t use force against New Moon Corporation before Idris Crestfall deals with him.
He had been deeply shocked by Andrius’s strength.
Charlie asked in displeasure, “Are you just going to let this matter go? Let’s think of another way.”
Carson sighed. He was reluctant too.
However, Andrius was too intimidating. He did not dare to take the risk.
Night arrived.
There was no wind, and it was stiflingly hot, making everyone feel stuffy and a little restless.
Andrius was detained in an interrogation room at the police station.
“Cough, cough…”
Jimmy had just reached the door when he smelled smoke. He could not help but cough several times, and tears almost sprang up in his eyes.
He was instantly furious,
He looked through the glass window.
That little brat.
Andrius had made himself at home and simply smoked in the room. The smell of smoke was quite strong and heady.
Behind him, Officer Tom smelled the smoke and put on a nostalgic expression. “Captain Brown, this smoke smells a bit like the special tobacco from the military…”
Only military officials would be able to smoke the special tobacco from the military. He had a comrade who received a cigar as a reward from a superior, so he remembered it vividly.
“Are you an idiot?” Jimmy slapped him on the head. “Use your brain and think. Do you think any Tom, Dick, and Harry can smoke the special tobacco from the military district? Not even I’ve smoked it before!
“Who is that man? How is he able to smoke that tobacco?” Tom was stunned by the slap and started to doubt himself. He stopped talking.
“Have you remembered everything I told you just now?”
Jimmy snorted, then glanced at Andrius with a cold look in his eyes. “The Millers want his life, so do at clean job. We can’t leave any loose ends, understand?”
“Yes, yes!”
Tom quickly nodded.
Jimmy sneered and opened the door of the interrogation room.
Chapter 243
Jimmy got angry at the sight of Andrius. He immediately took out the confession and tossed it on the table. “Andrius Moonshade, I advise you to sign it quickly. Don’t waste my time.”
Andrius glanced at it and looked away. Then, he took a puff of his special military cigar, not caring about Jimmy at all.
“What…” Jimmy’s expression instantly turned cold, and he looked at Andrius with icy eyes. “Are you going to disobey and refuse to sign? You’re going to stick to your own ways, huh?”
Andrius asked disdainfully, “Have you thought carefully?
That sentence stumped Jimmy. “Thought about what carefully?”
Tap, tap, tap…
Andrius held out his index finger and tapped on the confession.
Jimmy suddenly understood and revealed a disdainful smile. “Why? Do you have a problem with it? I’ll tell you the truth. You have no choice but to sign this confession today. If you won’t, I have plenty of ways to make you. You know that this is the interrogation room…”
He was just about to tell Andrius about the torture tools in order to scare him.
Before he could finish speaking, Andrius interrupted him. “It’s easy for me to sign my name on the confession, but I’m afraid this police station will have to close down if I do!”
After Andrius spoke, Jimmy and Tom were stunned for a few seconds.
Then, they burst into laughter.
They laughed their heads off as their roars of laughter were filled with contempt.
They looked at Andrius like they were looking at a bona fide idiot. “Andrius Moonshade, did that cigar burn your brain? Since you think you’re that capable, then I’ll give you a chance. I also want to see how you’ll close this station down!
“You can call someone to help you, but I’ll only give you ten minutes. If no one dares to come over, then you’ll have to be a good boy and sign the confession.”
Then, an icy look appeared on Jimmy’s face. “Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Andrius took out his phone and sent Noir a message. After sending it, he put the phone down. “Just wait!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
Seeing how serious Andrius spoke, Jimmy could not help but mock, “You’re really good at playing tough. You’re so good at acting that you should make a living out of it! Ten minutes! You only have ten minutes!”
Jimmy noted the time on his phone and sat across Andrius with his legs crossed.
At the auto repair shop. Noir’s expression instantly darkened when he received Andrius‘ message.
Damn it.
The great Wolf King was arrested by the police. Which b*stard had the balls to do that? Did they think that living life under the sun was too wonderful?
If they wanted to die, they could just find a body of water or some rope..
They could have thought of a simpler method.
Instead, they went against the Wolf King!
At that thought, Noir immediately called Severus. “Severus, aren’t you supposed to be a commander?
“Your men grew balls of steel and arrested the Wolf King. Do you… want the Wolf King or me to deal with. you?
“If this were the western border… it’d be enough grounds to shoot you!”
No one could stand being scolded like that.
Moreover, Andrius was Severus‘ savior. It was Andrius who had given Severus a new lease of life.
Severus was furious at once. “I’ll assemble all the soldiers in charge of guarding the city within the minute. I’d like to see which idiot dared to arrest the Wolf King.”
In an instant, all the city guards were mobilized at the fastest speed. Then, they drove to the police
station.
Along the way, the atmosphere among the troops was like they were going out to war.
Ten minutes soon passed.
Jimmy looked up at Andrius and said jokingly, “It’s been ten minutes, Andrius. Where’re the people you
called?”
Chapter 244
“Hurry up and sign it.”
As Jimmy spoke, he pushed the confession to Andrius.
Andrius did not even look at Jimmy. He took out another military cigar and smoked it as if he did not hear anything.
Jimmy suddenly flew into a rage and went forward to snatch the cigar. “You son of a Who allowed you
to smoke…”
Smack!
Andrius swung his hand and slapped Jimmy’s face.
Jimmy was furious and pointed at Andrius. “You piece of…”
Before he could finish, Andrius went up and grabbed Jimmy.
Smack!
Smack, smack, smack!
Smack, smack, smack, smack…
Andrius used both his hands to rain slaps on Jimmy.
my’s face swelled up, and his teeth caved in too.
r that, Andrius stood up slowly and left the police station.
Rumble!
Boom, boom, boom!
There was suddenly a deafening noise outside. It was not thunder. It was far louder than that!
It was footsteps!
The countless footsteps were like the galloping of thousands of horses. It was like the rushing of huge waves, making people’s hearts tremble.
Noir and Severus arrived with troops.
Jimmy, who chased after Andrius, saw this scene and was so excited that he burst into tears. He hurriedly ran up to Severus and accused Andrius with a face covered in snot and tears, “Sir, you’re just in time!
gath
“That man, Andrius Moonshade, gathered people to incite a fight, but he still refuses to confess even after I’ve arrested him.
“He even injured me when I interrogated him earlier. Look, he beat up my face…
“As the commander of the forces in Sumeria, you have to take this into your own hands!”
Severus did not even look at Jimmy and saluted Andrius instead. “Severus Sano, commander of Sumeria’s military forces, greets the Wolf King!”
“Wolf King, sir!”
“Wolf King, sir!”
All the troops stood at attention and shouted respectfully at Andrius with a look of awe.
Jimmy was stunned on the spot.
The… Wolf King?
He arrested the Wolf King?
Andrius Moonshade, whom he forced to sign a confession, was the Wolf King from the western region’s Lycantroops?
How… how could that be?
However, the truth was right in front of him and could not be faked.
In an instant, Jimmy was scared out of his wits and groveled in front of Andrius. “Wolf King, it was Carson Miller who instructed me…”
Bang!
Andrius could not be bothered to listen and simply ended him with a bullet.
Then, he pointed to Jimmy’s corpse and said to Severus, “Prepare a death gratuity payment for him. Write up the report and I’ll approve it.”
“Yes, sir!” Severus immediately responded.
Noir came up and asked, “Andy, do you want me to go pay a visit to Carson Miller and the Millers in the capital now?”
“No need.” Andrius waved his hand and smiled coldly. “Since they like to struggle, let them struggle for a few more days. We’ll let them eat their fill and fatten them up. Then….
“When they’re at their most complacent, we’ll make them puke out everything twofold!”
Chapter 245
A gale blew in Sumeria.
The wind whistled incessantly, filling people with anxiety. That night was doomed to be restless.
The news of the police station being terminated seemed to have grown wings and quickly spread throughout Sumeria, setting off a wave of turbulence.
In a room at the Royal Dragon Hotel, Carson and Charlie were both stunned when they learned of the
news.
Who exactly was Andrius?
They would never believe it if they were told that the incident at the police station had nothing to do with
him.
It was simply unbelievable!
It was enough proof that Andrius was really someone with influence with power.
Furthermore, his strength was far from ordinary!
Charlie was terrified and said to Carson, “Andrius seems like a big shot. What do we do now?”
To be honest, if it were not for Carson’s presence, Charlie would have left on the spot when he got the news. He shut down a police department…
How powerful was he? It was frightening just thinking about it.
Carson narrowed his eyes slightly, a gleam of wisdom flashing in his gaze. “Andrius is indeed influential, but as long as we follow the proper means and don’t leave any loose ends, he can’t find a reason to attack us no matter how influential he is.”
Charlie paused and asked, “Then, what should we do?”
“It’s simple.” The corners of Carson’s mouth curved up slightly as he said faintly, “Although Riverfront Entertainment belongs to the Crestfalls, the artistes and stars tied to them might not be partial toward the Crestfalls.
“Let me ask you. If you’re a star working with Riverfront Entertainment, would you rather work under Sumeria’s Crestfalls or the Millers from the capital?”
Charlie said without thinking, “It’s obvious. The strength of the Millers far exceeds that of the Crestfalls. Of course, I’d follow the Millers. I would stand to benefit more by going with the Millers.”
As soon as he said that, he instantly understood what Carson meant and said, “You mean…”
“Exactly!” Carson strategized with a smile, “We won’t move now and just make the preparations in secret to poach the popular artists and main stars in Riverfront Entertainment.
“When Luna makes a move, then we’ll put our plan into action.
“When the time comes, Riverfront Entertainment will not only become an empty shell, but it’ll also bring down New Moon Corporation along with it!”
With those words, Carson could not help but chuckle. He was proud of his intelligence.
Charlie also could not resist giving him a thumbs–up. “Carson, you’re amazing!’
Early morning the next day at the Royal Garden, Andrius was still sleeping.
Thud, thud, thud-
A quick series of knocks sounded outside, followed by Halle’s cry. “Andrius, open the door!”
Andrius was instantly exasperated and slowly got up to open the door. “Can’t you sleep in for once? Why are you torturing me so early in the morning?”
Halle was obviously relieved upon seeing Andrius.
“You only know how to sleep!” She rolled her eyes at him and said discontentedly, “I heard that you were arrested last night, so I came all the way here to see you.
“You didn’t tell anyone that you were out, but you’re complaining instead?”
Halle acted like a disgruntled wife.
Andrius felt goosebumps rise over his skin.
“Stop!” He rolled his eyes and said indifferently, “You don’t have to worry about me. I can come and go freely even in the off–limits areas of the metropolis. What can a measly Sumerian police station do to
me?”
Andrius spoke casually, but Halle was deeply shocked.
He could move freely even in the off–limits areas in the metropolis?
Her eyes flickered as she said slyly, “Then, tell me who you are, Andrius. That way, I won’t worry about you in the future.”
Her true intentions were clear as day to Andrius.
He could not be bothered to answer the question and casually asked, “Were there any movements in Sumeria last night?”
Halle was slightly disappointed when he changed the topic. However, it was just a twinge of dissatisfaction.
“I don’t know if there’s any movement in Sumeria, but there was a lot going on with Luna! Her phone is about to explode. She begged her grandparents and looked for anyone who could bail you out.”
There were some different emotions in Halle’s tone.
She could tell that although Luna always complained about Andrius, when something went wrong, she still earnestly tried to help him.
“Then… I’ll go to New Moon Corporation to tell them that I’m fine,” Andrius said and simply left on a
scooter.

Chapter 246
Andrius went straight to Luna’s office in New Moon Corporation.
“Mr. Lennor, I want to bail Andrius out. Do you… What? Go… go out for a meal with you tonight? That’s…”
Andrius just walked into Luna’s office and heard her talking on the phone.
It was not hard to imagine what difficulties she encountered. There was no such thing as a free lunch.
Those people were all coveting how beautiful Luna was and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have a taste of her. They had no intention of helping in the first place.
Luna knew that very well. However, Andrius was arrested because of her. She had to think of a way to get him out.
She looked up another number in her address book and made another phone call.
However, she felt her hand slip before the call could connect.
Andrius took her phone and hung up..
“You… you’re back?”
Luna turned to see Andrius, her clear eyes filled with undisguised surprise.
“Yeah.” Andrius nodded.
Luna could not help but ask, “Weren’t you arrested?”
She remembered how aggressive the officers looked when they arrested Andrius. They would never have let him go so easily.
Andrius shrugged and said, “The station was shut down by the new military commander not long after I was brought in, so I was released.”
Luna was dumbfounded.
The police station was shut down?
However, that was not the point.
Luna’s large and beautiful eyes stared at him as she asked, “Then, why didn’t you come home?”
Andrius said in exasperation, “Dream’s Waterfront’s entrance is restricted, remember?”
Luna rolled her eyes. “Serves you right!”
Andrius was instantly speechless.
Was she blaming him?
Luna continued to say, “Since you’re back safe, get back to work and stop causing trouble for me! I just bought Riverfront Entertainment, and there’s a new film in preparation, so there are a lot of things for me to deal with.”
She stared at Andrius and warned, “Behave yourself during this time, and don’t be absent from work, understand?”
“Yes.”
Andrius grumbled in his heart, ‘I helped her so much last night, but now she refuses to give me credit. She’s even supervising my work instead! Women are terrifying. They’re more difficult to deal with than
enemies.
‘At least, reason will work on enemies. If reasoning doesn’t work, then I can just throw a few punches.
‘As for women…
‘Try being reasonable! Try using your fists!”
The next few days, Luna was busy preparing for the new film.
Three days after that, something big happened in the capital!
Idris took the core members of the Crestfall family and went to Mount Devil’s Tears.
The Crestfalls, led by Idris, split into two rows and stood respectfully in front of the temple, not daring to
slack or slouch the slightest.
“The Crestfalls welcome the three of you.”
Idris took the lead and bowed deeply.
Behind him, all the other Crestfalls also bowed in unison. “The Crestfalls welcome you.”
After their voices spoke, a bald two–meter–tall man took the lead in coming out of the temple. He had bright eyes that looked slightly bloodshot and evil, and one look at him would make people feel dizzy as if the sky was spinning.
It was as if those terrible eyes were the only things left in the world…
He was the top fighter of the Crestfalls, Hex the Demon Monk!
Then, a middle–aged man with a good–looking face came out. His face was clean, and he looked quite elegant with a folding fan in his hand.
However, a sinister light that flashed in the depths of his eyes clued people into the fact that he was not as kind as he appeared.
He was the second fighter of the Crestfalls, the Pale Scholar.
The last one who came out was short and ugly with a claw mark on the right side of his face. His furtive glances flitted around, giving off an evil feeling.
He was the third fighter, Withered Valentine.
When the three fighters came out, Idris knelt down together with everyone. “Please help the Crestfalls!”
Chapter 247
“Dealing with Andrius Moonshade does not warrant all three of us coming out together.”
Hex the Demon Monk’s tone was full of disdain. He looked at Withered Valentine to his side and said, ” Valentine, I’ll leave this to you.”
“Easy!” Withered Valentine’s eyes flashed with a wretched light as he cackled. “Old Master Crestfall, you haven’t forgotten the conditions for using me, right?”
Withered Valentine loved to play with women. Every time the Crestfalls needed him to deal with. something, they had to provide him with a bevy of beautiful women and let him have his fill. Only then
would he get to work.
“No problem.”
Idris immediately gave the command.
For the entire day, the wails of beautiful women and Withered Valentine’s laughter rang out incessantly
from the Crestfalls‘ estate.
The sounds were interwoven together. It was as if the Crestfalls estate became a terrifying hell!
“Phew…”
After an unknown amount of time, Withered Valentine came out from inside with a refreshed expression. He patted Idris‘ shoulder and smiled in satisfaction. “You did a good job with this, Old Master Crestfall.
“I’ll leave for Sumeria now and rip Andrius Moonshade’s head off!” After saying that, Withered Valentine took a large stride and left.
Idris looked at Withered Valentine’s back, and the fierce light in his eyes flickered. “Andrius Moonshade, I’m looking forward to seeing how you die!”
In Sumeria, the Miller brothers naturally heard the news of Idris‘ actions and immediately acted according
to their original plan.
The Grand Regis Hotel was the best hotel in Sumeria. The Miller brothers hosted a banquet there for the big–name celebrities of Riverfront Entertainment.
All the celebrities attended when they heard that the capital’s Miller family was the host.
After eating and a few rounds of drinks….
“Ladies and gentlemen.” Carson clinked his glass with theirs and suddenly had a strange smile on his face. “You’re all big celebrities in Riverfront Entertainment.
“However, the Crestfalls are still a little shallow. They can’t give you a bigger stage or provide you with
vast resources.
“Why don’t you work with my family instead? I’m willing to offer twice the price.” As soon as Carson’s words were spoken, many celebrities began to whisper to each other.
Riverfront Entertainment was originally owned by Anthony Henderson, the richest man in Sumeria. The celebrities naturally did well when working under him.
However, the Crestfalls were at the helm now. They were barely considered a second–rate family in Sumeria, and the difference was like night and day.
Many celebrities had actually talked about this in private before.
Now that Carson brought it up, many of them were tempted.
“Are you serious, Young Master Miller?”
“Young Master Miller, we know that we will benefit more if we follow you.”
“Young Master Miller, if what you say is true, then, of course, we’re happy to work together.”
“Young Master Miller…”
Many people agreed on the spot.
The exception was the most handsome and eye–catching male celebrity in the crowd.
His name was Zane Wright, and he was the cream of the crop in Riverfront Entertainment. Anthony had focused on him before, and he was considered an A–list star in the entire nation.
If he stayed with Riverfront Entertainment, the company’s foundation would still hold strong.
Seeing this, Carson smiled and gestured to the waitress to fill Zane’s glass.
Then, he went to Zane with a glass of his own. “Mr. Wright, what do you think?”
T
Chapter 248
Zane gently clinked his wine glass with Carson’s, took a sip, and placed it on the table. He said slowly,” Isn’t it a little inappropriate for you to scout us right under Ms. Crestfall’s nose like this?”
Carson understood what he meant.
He immediately smiled and said, “Mr. Wright, you stayed in Riverfront Entertainment because you’re interested in Luna, aren’t you?”
Zane’s pupils shrank.
Carson got the answer in his heart and deliberately provoked him, “Mr. Wright, you’ve been in the entertainment circle for so many years, but why are you still so naive?
“Luna only uses you all as tools for making money. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to offer up your sincerity to her?”
As soon as he said this, many other celebrities also laughed. In the entertainment industry, there were too many cases of celebrities and artists hooking up with their bosses.
However, the ending was always the same. When the celebrities got old or too popular, they would be abandoned mercilessly without exception.
However, Zane did not believe it and snorted, “With my face, I’ll definitely be able to get Luna in bed! As for the sincerity that you mentioned, there’s no such thing.”
Seeing Zane so confident, Carson stirred him up again. “Mr. Wright, since you’re so confident, let’s make a bet. If Luna doesn’t take a liking to you, then you’ll come under my wing instead. How does that sound?”
Zane agreed. “No problem!”
Not long after, the banquet ended successfully, and the celebrities quietly left.
Charlie asked discontentedly, “Carson, why did you encourage Zane to sleep with Luna?”
He had taken a liking to Luna a long time ago. Although Carson was just paying lip service, Charlie was very much against it.
Carson glanced at Charlie and said in displeasure, “Can you use your brain? If Luna were so easy to sleep with, wouldn’t you have succeeded long ago?”
“That’s true.” Charlie nodded.
Carson instructed, “Charlie, go and collect dirt on Zane, and hand it over to Luna. Remember, keep this matter a secret as much as possible. No one must know that we’re behind this.”
“Smart!” Charlie’s eyes lit up. “That way, Luna will definitely be dissatisfied with Zane, and Zane will surely fail to sleep with her…”
“It’s a lose–lose for them but a win for us! Hahaha…”
The two brothers could not help but chuckle.
In the afternoon, Luna was in her office, handling the preparations for the new film.
Ding dong…
There was a notification from her email.
Luna clicked on it and suddenly froze.
It was mostly photos–along with a few words. The photos were all intimate pictures of Zane and some beautiful women. Moreover, there were some pictures that went beyond ‘intimate‘ and were simply unsightly and vulgar.
Furthermore, Zane seemed to be enjoying it…
The text was all about the description of the photos, such as the time and place they were taken, the identities of the women, and so on.
Luna immediately deleted the email after reading it. Although those photos looked disgusting, it was Zane’s private life. She had nothing to do with them.
“Ms. Crestfall.”
Her assistant suddenly knocked on the door and walked in with her long legs. “Zane Wright, a popular star under Riverfront Entertainment, would like to see you.“
Chapter 249
“Tell him to come in.”
Putting aside Zane’s dirty recreations, he was Riverfront Entertainment’s top star. It was understandable for him to ask for a meeting with his new boss.
The secretary did as she was told.
Not long after, Zane arrived at Luna’s office.
“Please have a seat.”
Although Luna was disgusted by those matters, she pretended not to know anything and went straight to the point. “What did you come to see me for, Zane?”
“It’s like this, Ms. Crestfall.” Zane looked at Luna with a smile he thought was very charming. “I’d like to invite you to dinner at the Royal Dragon tonight at 8 and discuss some issues with this script.”
Luna had to admit that Zane was indeed very handsome, and his voice was quite soothing to listen to
However, she was not a superficial woman. She had no interest in him, especially after learning about his true colors. Nevertheless, she had no reason to refuse. Sure, I’ll go over tonight.”
Soon, it was night.
Luna arrived at the Royal Dragon Hotel as promised.
Andrius did not come, but Athena followed her.
Zane acted very gentlemanly and greeted her at the hotel entrance. He brought Luna to the room and personally pulled out the chair for her.
“Please sit, Ms. Crestfall.”
Luna sat down but frowned slightly.
The room was lit with pink mood lights, and there were candles as well. The dining table was also heart- shaped with a potted lily on it. The overall decoration was so in–her–face flirtatious that Luna was somewhat disgusted.
Zane said, “Speaking of which, I’m also the top star in Riverfront Entertainment. How… do you intend to package and build me up, Ms. Crestfall?”
Luna had considered this issue a long time ago.
She explained it on the spot. She started with the new movie, then talked about what kind of persona he would take on, and what kind of film and television resources she would give him….
She spoke eloquently.
Unbeknownst to her, Zane was not listening at all. Instead, he took advantage of when Luna was carried away in her speech to secretly slip a pill into her wine when refilling her glass.
“That’s the overall gist.” Luna felt thirsty after speaking and picked up the glass to drink it.
“Ms. Crestfall, wait!”
Just then, Athena, who was standing outside, came in and stopped Luna in time. “There’s something wrong with this wine. He’s drugged it.”
Luna’s expression instantly changed. She remembered those photos and instantly felt fearful. She stared
at Zane coldly, waiting for him to give an explanation.
“Nonsense!” Zane was angry. “Why are you saying that? Do you know the impact such slander will have on an artiste? Can you bear the responsibility for the consequences?”
He spoke righteously, showing power while feeling guilty inside.
Those not in the know would really think that he was innocent and being framed.
Athena suddenly sneered and glanced at his manager, who was eavesdropping from the side. She immediately grabbed the glass of wine and poured it down the manager’s mouth, holding the latter’s head up for her to drink.
“Glug, glug…”
She finished the whole glass.
The manager was stunned and pointed to Athena to scold her, but suddenly, her vision went dark, and she fainted on the ground.
“What do you have to say now, Zane?” Luna immediately flew into a rage, questioning loudly with her beautiful eyes widened.
“Luna…” Zane suddenly changed his expression, looking gentle and charming. His eyes were filled with affection, and his voice was full of magnetism. He said lovingly, “I have nothing to say about loving you.
“As you’ve seen, I drugged your wine, but what you don’t know is that… I’ve suffered since the first time I saw you. You’re all I can think about, day and night.
“When I open my eyes, I see you, and you’re still there even when I close my eyes. Everything I say and do reminds me of you!
“I love you
Chapter 250
Zane knelt on one knee and took out a large bouquet of roses from the side. “Luna, please accept my
love!”
A sentence suddenly emerged in Luna’s mind.
‘How loving you are now is how perverse you’ll be later.”
Those words were very suitable to describe Zane now. It was simply made for him.
Luna said bluntly, “I’m not interested in you. Give up on me.”
Zane’s expression instantly changed.
A sinister look flashed on his handsome face, and he asked in a heavy voice, “Is it because of Andrius. Moonshade? What’s so good about him?
“He’s a bumpkin from the mountains. He has no money and no looks. He isn’t worthy of you at all. He’s
just…”
“Enough!” Luna interrupted his words coldly. “Although Andrius has no money, he acts like a proper gentleman. He’s a thousand times better than a clothed beast like you!
“Let’s go.”
After saying that, she left with Athena.
Outside the hotel, Luna could not help but take out her phone and call the director–general of Riverfront Entertainment. “Mr. Gasper, I want to fire Zane Wright. What do you think?”
“That’s…” Mr. Gasper suddenly paused on the other side of the phone and said awkwardly, “What did Zane do, Ms. Crestfall? Why do you suddenly want to fire him?”
Before Luna could answer…
Mr. Gasper was holding a shareholders‘ meeting. The other shareholders gathered in front of the phone to respond when they heard his words.
“Ms. Crestfall, Zane is the top artiste in Riverfront Entertainment. He can’t be fired!”
“Ms. Crestfall, Riverfront Entertainment has just changed owners. Our celebrities will lose heart in us if we
cancel the contract of our most popular artiste!”
“Ms. Crestfall, the blockbuster movie we advertised is about to start shooting. It’ll undoubtedly be a waste to fire Zane now. It’ll be a heavy blow to us!”
“Ms. Crestfall…”
They all put in their two cents, but no one agreed to fire Zane.
This angered Luna. She had no choice but to drop the matter.
When she got home, she stormed in angrily, her footsteps much louder than usual.
Andrius could tell that something was up and asked casually, “What happened? You look… angrier than usual?”
Luna immediately told him the whole story in detail and said, “I really don’t understand what those shareholders think. Zane is such a nasty person. He’s a ticking time bomb that may explode at any
moment.
“By then, it won’t just be him but the entire Riverfront Entertainment that suffers losses.”
It was not alarmist talk. There were too many examples. Many top–tier stars fell because of such matters, and all the work they were involved in was taken off the shelves.
Andrius said bluntly, “Then, fire him. If there’s something wrong with an artiste’s way of working, they’ll be finished sooner or later. Besides…
“A handsome face like his won’t work in a military movie. He won’t be able to handle it either. It’s better to get a real soldier to act.”
Luna did not quite agree with this statement. She shook her head and said, “Your thinking is too simple. Soldiers are more familiar with military life, but they might not be able to act well. I’ll think about it again.”
She sighed and went into her room.
Andrius knew that the matter was not that simple and immediately went to Noir’s auto repair garage.” Noir, choose a few soldiers overnight, preferably with acting experience, to act in a military movie.
“That’s easy. Leave it to me!” Noir patted his chest.
Andrius gave him a few more instructions and returned to Dream’s Waterfront. When he arrived at a secluded place, he suddenly sensed vague killing intent.
