Chapter 271
The group was trying to come up with a solution.
1 think it’s workable.” Zane’s eyes glinted confidently and said, “We were once the pillars of Riverfront Entertainment. We were the company’s faces for a while
The soldiers that Luna found for the movie are, at most, extras. There’s no way Riverfront Entertainment would focus on military genre movies. They have to expand into rom–coms and stuff, which is our forte!”
Everyone was enlightened by Zane’s words.
To them, the soldiers who acted in the movie were not professional actors. They might succeed in military movies but what about the other genres?
These people were trained actors.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go to Luna!”
“Yeah. Right now!”
“Come on!”
With that, the group headed to New Moon Corporation.
Meanwhile, at New Moon Corporation, Luna was elated that the movie was a hit.
The first movie that Riverfront Entertainment released after the change of ownership was a sell–out!
It was a good sign!
As long as they maintained the momentum, the company would have a bright future.
“This is the bonus from the movie.”
Luna gave the soldiers who participated in the shooting a bank card.
“The numbers are in, and the current box office is around 80 million. Here’s 10 million. You guys can split it.”
The box office was not the net profit. The movie production funds, taxes, cinema fees, distribution, marketing, and promotion expenses had to be deducted before the company could get a clean profit.
It was generous of Luna to give the soldiers 10 million worth of bonus.
Zane and the other stars were at the main entrance. They looked cross and unfriendly, so the security guards held them back.
“What are you people doing here?” The leader of the security guards tried to talk to them nicely. “If you want to see Ms. Crestfall, I have to inform her first.”
“F*ck that!”
Zane slapped the security guard. He dared not offend the Millers but he could afford to slap a security guard.
“Get the hell out of my way!”
“We are here to show Luna Crestfall that we mean business. Why is a stupid security guard in the way?” “I’ll put your picture online and tell the netizens to cyber bully you!”
“F*ck off!”
CS CamScanner
The group was hostile and arrogant.
Threatened, the security guard was worried that it might bring a bad influence on the company, so he stepped back.
Zane and his group entered the meeting room confidently.
The head of security was afraid that they might cause further trouble, so he brought his team with him. and followed them in.
Luna emerged after she heard the commotion.
“Luna, we are coming back to Riverfront Entertainment, Zane said arrogantly and indubitably.
“You guys are coming back?” Luna glanced at the group and asked without giving a clear answer, “On what terms?”
Terms?
The group was amused by it. They knew that their names carried weight and that Luna could not truly afford to lose them.
Therefore, they arrogantly voiced their terms.
“I want double my previous salary, or else there’s no space for negotiation.”
“Based on the fans I have, I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a new house.”
“I just want a two–million sports car.”
They voiced their extravagant terms without the slightest scruples.
Zane, who was the worst among the bunch, said greedily, “I want to be the top celebrity of the company and you must give me what they demand as well. And, I want you to have dinner with me and we’ll consider this to be over.”
Luna could no longer hold back her laughter after listening to Zane’s ridiculous demands.
Zane’s expression changed. He yelled, “Luna Crestfall, do it right now! Don’t waste our time!”
Luna took a while to calm her laughter. She looked at the group with a grin and said, “I’m sorry. New Moon Corporation isn’t involved in the recycling business. We don’t take trash and will never forgive traitors.”
The group was furious with her answer.
Luna toyed with them and called them trash.
Zane questioned her coldly, “Luna, if you don’t want us back, why are you even talking to us about terms?”
“Please don’t misunderstand.” Luna remembered how pushy Zane was to her in the past and she felt proud to be able to do the same to him. She giggled and said, “I just want to see how ridiculous your daydreams are.”
CS CamScanner
Chapter 272
Luna toyed with them like monkeys!
The bunch of celebrities were furious
Zane glared at her grimly and said viciously, “Luna Crestfall, how dare you fool with us? You really think we are useless?”
“Luna Crestfall! We came back to help you push Riverfront Entertainment to new heights, and you are doing this to us? How short–sighted are you?”
“Luna Crestfall, I’ll wreck your meeting room now!”
“Luna Crestfall…”
The angry celebrities were ready to start a scene at the office.
Luna did not tolerate their lousy temper. She glanced at them coldly before she said to the security. Security, stop them from causing trouble!”
Following her words, the head of security led his team into the meeting room and asked eagerly, “Madam, what should we do about them?”
“They are trying to cause a scene here at the office. Teach them a lesson and toss them out,” Luna said as she pointed at Zane and the others.
The head of security grinned.
It was time for revenge!
The security guards surrounded the celebrities.
“Who dares to lay a finger on me!?” Zane maintained his arrogance and yelled, “Open your damn eyes and look at me! I am the No. 1 star of Sumeria….”
“F*ck your No. 1 star!”
The head of security kicked him before he could finish, sending him to the ground.
The other security guards jumped on him and beat him up to silence him.
After Zane was beaten up, they did the same to the other celebrities. Since they were all together, it was only fair for them to suffer the same punishment.
After taking revenge, the security guards felt a lot better. They dragged Zane and the others to the main entrance and tossed them onto the road.
Today would be the darkest day for Zane and the group of celebrities. They were first beaten up by Carson and now Luna’s security team.
Before they could leave, a group of reporters arrived at the main entrance. They were there to wait for a chance to interview Luna and asked her about the movie’s success, but they got to see Zane and the other celebrities in such a wretched state
Snap! Snap!
The shutters clicked repeatedly and furiously as the reporters snapped pictures of Zane and the others. and posted them online.
The pictures went viral.
CS CamScanner
Zane and the other celebrities were already well–known, so when the negative news about them.
appeared, they went viral within the slightest time.
They completely became the joke of the city.
Meanwhile at Noir’s garage, when the soldiers got the bonus from the movie, they went to meet the Wolf King
Andrius was having a drink with Noir.
“Wolf King!”
“Wolf King, we have done as you told us to!”
“Wolf King, the mission is a success!”
“Wolf King”
The soldiers bowed and saluted at Andrius solemnly and proudly announced their success.
“Great. Well done.” Andrius told Noir to prepare a mini feast for them and then said, “This is an extra mission outside of your regular routine, so here’s one from me.
He raised his glass for a toast.
“Wolf King! You are too kind!”
“The Wolf King’s matter is our matter!”
“Please tell us if you need more from us.
“Wolf King…”
A toast from the Wolf King?
The soldiers were excited. They made the right choice to come to Sumeria for the mission. From now on, they were soldiers who had drinks with the Wolf King, and they could brag about it for months.
The atmosphere was lively as the soldiers had fun.
“Captain Noir.”
One of the soldiers gave Noir a card. “The mission payment we got this time is 10 million. We are good with five, so please donate the rest to the Martyr’s Society. Our brothers‘ families need the money more.
than we do.”
CS CamScanner
Chapter 273
The soldiers were the kindest people. They were neither calculative nor competitive against each other. While they were not related by blood, they were closer than brothers. They would always share with their brothers–in–arms, especially those who sacrificed on the battlefield.
“Great.” Noir took the card with a serious look. “I will convey your message to the Martyr’s Society. Don’t worry about it.”
The soldiers nodded. “Wolf King, Captain Noir, we will be on our way now.”
After that, the soldiers got into their car and left, Andrius was left alone with Noir.
Since the Martyr’s Society was mentioned, Andrius asked, “Noir, how’s the Martyr’s Society doing now? Are they progressing smoothly?”
“Yeah. Everything is running smoothly,” Noir said.
“After Anthony Henderson’s money was transferred to their account, the society took good care of every deceased soldier’s family. Besides, now that the society has some extra cash, they did some investments and got quite a handsome return. They can operate independently from now on.”
Andrius breathed a sigh of relief after getting confirmation from Noir.
“Just hope that the soldiers of our country don’t need any of that.”
The sacrificed soldiers were all brave men who had defended their country. No family would want their son or husband to leave them forever just so they could get the help of society.
Speaking of the Martyr’s Society, Andrius had not visited the society after he came to Sumeria. He planned to make some time to pay them a visit.
“Noir, donate another one billion to the society under my name. Let them help our sacrificed brother better,” Andrius said after some thought.
“Yes, sir!” Noir saluted solemnly.
Only the Wolf King could simply donate a billion away, and only he cared about the soldiers more than anyone else.
Andrius then left the garage and returned to the office.
When he walked into the lobby, he saw Luna.
“Andrius!” Luna bellowed when she saw him. “Why aren’t you at work? Where have you been? Why can’t you stay at work like everyone else? You are wasting your time! You must take this work senously Don’t just ignore what I say!”
She was relentless as she berated Andrius for missing out on work
Andrius was having a heading and was impressed by how quickly Luna spoke
“Fine. You skipped work, I’ll deduct half a month’s pay!”
Luna then clacked her heels back to her office
Andrius was left stunned on the spot.
The woman was merciless.
He put in a lot of effort to make sure the movie was a success and he had gone out to send the soldiers back, yet the woman wanted to deduct his pay for missing work.
CS CamScanner
Not even war at the Western Frontline was as difficult as handling her.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to clock out.
Andrius wanted to scan an electric bike outside the office to head home, but he received a call from
Halle
“Andrus, let’s have dinner tonight.”
“Sure,” Andrius said without second thoughts.
“Great” Halle obviously sounded happy. She eagerly added, “My car is in the east, sixty meters away from your office entrance. Come here.”
She was worried that Luna would catch them together, so she parked a little further away
“Hold on I’m on my way”
Andrius stopped scanning the rental electric bike and headed to the Lamborghini further away
A while later, Luna came out of the building. She glanced around out of habit and saw a man getting into a Lamborghini further away.
“What the 7”
Luna was surprised because the man looked like Andrius and her best friend’s car also happened to be a Lamborghini

na shook her head, discarding the outrageous thoughts from her mind. She clearly remembered Halle’s sgust when she saw Andrius. It left a strong impression on her.
hy would Halle be seeing Andrius?
e must be seeing things.

ithout further thought, Luna got into her own car.
eanwhile, inside the Lamborghini, Halle, who was in a delighted mood, asked, “Andrius, I haven’t ought of a place to eat. Do you have any places that you want to go to?”
le actually wanted to follow Andrius‘ suggestion but wanted to make it subtle.
.” Andrius glanced into the darkening sky and spotted a night market. He said, “I think the barbecue re’s good.”
ere? Fine.”
alle stopped her car by the road. It was rare to see a supercar beside the night market, so it attracted uch attention, especially when Andrius came down from the passenger seat.
amn. Is this guy a sugar baby?”
ou can’t get it even if you want to. He’s a role model!”
amn. The girl is good!”
m jealous.”
e discussions were not exactly loud, but Halle and Andrius heard them.
idrius was not concerned, but Halle was delighted. It seemed like they looked great together
e two of them entered a restaurant, ordered, and sat down.
e dishes were served after a while.
ille was a regular at expensive places, so it was a first for her to eat by the roadside.
e smell of beer, cigarettes, and oil filled the air, assaulting her nose. Her ears were blasted with the zling, the noise, and the shouts, leaving her with no space to rest
ille felt uncomfortable. She asked, “Andrius, you lived at the Royal Garden, but you are eating by the adside. Isn’t it strange?”
ow strange can it be?” Andrius glanced at her and continued eating without being concerned. “Halle. u shouldn’t have such a thought. There are a lot of skyscrapers and big houses in the world, but the ople who live in them are not better than others. They might not live a happy life as well.
uite the opposite; the night market is the embodiment of the daily life of normal people. You can feel

the warmth of not just the food but also in the people. It makes you blend in.
“As a human being, you need to know the etiquette and manners of the classy, but you also need to understand how different people live. That’s life.”
Others might not have said something so meaningful to Halle. Even if they did, she might not listen to any
of them.
However, when the words came out of Andrius‘ mouth, they struck a chord in Halle’s heart.
He was right!
As a human being, one should not be, prejudiced towards life or be arrogant.
Halle was impressed. She forgot to eat and stared at his face, asking, “Andrius, you are not that much older than me but you speak so wisely.”
Andrius laughed. “You still have a lot of things to learn,”
“Don’t just sit there!”
Andrius noticed Halle was not eating. He put a piece of grilled innard on her plate and said, “Here! This is great!”
Halle’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the innard on her plate. “Are you sure this is good?” “Of course!”
CS CamScanner
Chapter 275
Andrius got himself a piece as well and enjoyed it. He even said, “Don’t worry, just eat it. Believe me when I say you will love it.”
Out of trust, Halle reluctantly had a bite.
“How is it?” Andrius asked.
“Uh..”
Maybe Halle was in a good mood or maybe she was starving, but the grilled innard was quite tasty!
“It’s not bad!”
“I told you.”
They chatted over dinner, and it was quite an enjoyable time.
Then, Halle brought up the topic with Luna and asked, “Andrius, what are your plans after you divorce Luna?”
She stopped eating and stared at his face.
“We’ll see.” Andrius pondered and then added, “I’ve been protecting the Crestfalls for a while now, and I’ve planned a lot for them. Now, they are finally doing okay. However, the Crestfalls from the capital is a timebomb. I guess after I deal with them, I’ll leave.”
“Are you really leaving?”
Halle did not want him to leave. It was not easy for her to meet someone that captured her heart, yet before she could lay her hands on him, he wanted to leave.
“Don’t you have other plans? Like get a wife for real and start a family?”
They were sitting on a square table. When she was hinting at him, she moved from the opposite side to his side.
“Not necessary,” Andrius said without second thoughts.
Women were scary animals, much scarier than the enemy.
He had to get as far away as possible.
“Tsk.” Halle jokingly clicked her tongue and moved closer to him. She whispered, “Andrius, don’t tell me you are still a virgin.”
Andrius‘ face turned red immediately. The woman was really bold.
“Come on! Tell me!” Halle urged him out of curiosity since he remained silent.
- Andrius ate a piece of innards to calm himself down and chuckled awkwardly, “I always spent time in the army, so I don’t have a lot of chances with women…”
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk”
As though she discovered a new continent, Halle revealed her lustful side and eyed Andrius from top to bottom. “So, you are saying the kiss from last time was your first?”
“I guess so…” Andrius nodded timidly when she saw the eagerness and lust in Halle’s eyes.
“Who would have thought?! Who would have thought?! Andrius Moonshade is a virgin! Why don’t I…” Halle
CS CamScanner
grinned mischievously and moved closer to Andrius‘ ear. She whispered seductively,” give you a chance to have a taste of what you missed during your youth?
What did she mean by that?
Andrius looked at Halle, who was an inch away from him. She was beautiful and alluring, and his heart could not help but pound wildly.
The woman was a vixen!
He was afraid!
It was then that Andrius‘ phone rang..
It was Luna.
Halle had a glance before she looked around out of guilt. She breathed a sigh of relief after she made sure Luna was not around.
“Andrius, where are you now? Look at the time! Aren’t you coming back? Don’t come back if you stay way past the curfew!”
As soon as the call got through, Luna mercilessly fired her comments at Andrius like a machine gun.
CS CamScanner
Chapter 276
Andrus had it with Halle, so he answered, “Alright, Fl be right back!”
He shoved the last piece of innards into his mouth and signaled Halle as he pointed at his phone before he left in a hurry
Disappointed. Halle watched Andrius leave
What a good man!
It was difficult to find another man like him, yet Luna wanted to divorce him.
If her friend did not know how to cherish a good man, she ought to do it for the latter
“Andrius, come to me! I will cling on to you for my life until I make you mine!”
Meanwhile, in the capital, Idris received a reply from Heaven’s Eye.
Andrius was just a man from the western mountains. He had no military background or anything of the
like
It was normal that the organization could not find anything about Andrius because his identity as the Wolf King was classified as a military secret. Other than those who knew him and served with him in the military, it was highly unlikely the outside world would know about his true identity
Even Anthony, Wendy, and those who found out dared not simply expose him either because it would
mean death‘
Exposing the country’s classified secret was punishable by death!
Idris informed Hex the Demon Monk as soon as he received the news.
“For real?”
Hex’s bloodshot eyes glinted. He grinned viciously and said, “If Andrius Moonshade is just some caveman from the mountains, there is nothing to worry about.
“Master Crestfall, gather your men and take my brother’s coffin to Sumeria I want to give him a proper burial. After that, I will build a tomb over the ruins of the estate where the Crestfalls of Sumeria stayed want to make an example of them. No one can lay a finger on us brothers!
“And send an invitation to all the dignitaries of Sumeria, invite them to the funeral. I’ll kill those who dont show up and they can go accompany my brother in another world”
Idris had resented Andrus and the Crestfalls in Sumena for a long time now. He was overjoyed when he heard Hex’s words “Yes, I’ll prepare my men now.
The right was restless as the Crestfalls mobilized all of their men.
in fact, the entire capital was restless as things began to move in the dark. The news spread like wildfire, and it soon reached every related party.
Carson got the news as soon as it was circulating
“Brother, since the Crestfalls are making a move, we should too,” Carson said to Charlie. He added, “Tell our men to be prepared When the Crestfalls arrive at Sumeria, we will join them”
“Brother

Carson grinned viciously. “Andrus Moonshade, Luna Crestfall, your days are numbered now!”

At night, Andrius returned to Dreams Waterfront and sew Luna on the couch looking grumpy and helpless
Theard the Crestfalls from the capital are here and that they held a funeral of some sort All the dignitaries are invited, you guys included. Do you need any help? Andrus asked out of goodwill
No need
Luna was having a headache and she believed that Andrus was not capable of handing the problem She knew he was a fighter, but the Crestfalls were notorious in the capital. Their name alone trembled Sumeria
Andrus could not possibly do anything to help

Chapter 278
“You don’t have to worry about it Grandfather has come up with a solution,” Luna added.
Oh” Andrius simply replied before he returned to his room to sleep.
At the same time, Marcus and Severus received the news as well. As the leaders of the city, of course, they knew what Idris was doing in Sumeria.
They got together after work.
“The Crestfalls from the capital are really audacious How dare they start a fanfare in our city? Do they really think I’m useless? Marcus bellowed angrily. “Severus, what do you think we should do?”
“We strike them
Andnus had been arrested by the police a while back, and it has been Severus‘ stain in his career. He could not allow the same thing to happen again.
The best way to deal with a hostile enemy was to fight back!
“You guys don’t need to interfere.” Noir came in all of a sudden and explained, “The Wolf King will deal with this himself. You guys just need to be on standby
“We understand.”
Both the mayor and military governor nodded together,
After Noir left, they gathered their men and started their preparation. Marcus had the city guards and Severus had his own soldiers.
The night was once again restless as many factions started to make a move.
On the next day, Sumeria welcomed a series of explosive events.
The city square, which was filled with people every day, had a large tent built under Idris‘ order. It was so huge that it covered the entire square from start to end.
Funeral decorations were everywhere, and a sorrowful melody was being played.
Withered Valentine’s body was placed in the coffin in the center. Behind It was his picture in black and white, looking eerie.
The Crestfalls from the capital were in official mourning suits as they stood in line on both sides of the entrance like pine trees planted in the same line.
All the dignitaries in the city arrived to pay their respects.
The Crestfalls of Sumeria arrived as well under Belarus‘ lead. However, they were seated at the very end. Suddenly, someone started sprinkling white confetti from the buildings above. The white confetti danced in the air and filled the sky instantly. White symbolized death in this context, so it felt ominous when the sky was covered with them.
A funeral celebrant stood up and gave a speech.
“The clouds are misty, the water murmurs…
“The sky tears up and the earth sobs.
“The sun and moon flow like water, yet today is the day when it stops–a farewell.
CS CamScanner
“Everyone’s fate is unpredictable, and all mourn your loss, our brother, Withered Valentine.”
The attendees were all silent. No one dared to make a noise, so only the celebrant’s speech echoed across the tent.
A while later, the long and depressing ceremony was over.
Idris got up from the front seat.
It was finally beginning!
Everyone shared the same thought.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Idris clapped three times without saying anything.
Swoosh!
After his claps, the servants of the Crestfalls brought more coffins to the venue.
The sheer number of coffins made things creepy.
CS CamScanner
Chapter 279
The Crestfalls of the capital were not just here for a funeral!
The dignitaries of Sumeria got anxious.
Belarus and his family were nervous and worried. They all knew Idris had come for them!
“My loyal man, my trusty servant, Withered Valentine..
Idris looked at Belarus, Luna, and the others who were at the very end. A frosty look appeared on his face “He died because of the Crestfalls of Sumeria. That is why, today is also the day that we mourn them!”
He sounded chilly as he uttered each and every word loudly.
As his voice subsided, two ghastly figures appeared before Belarus and the others. They were Hex the Demon Monk and the Pale Scholar. They carried intense killing intent and wore grim looks on their faces.
“Belarus Crestfall.”
Hex’s bloodshot eyes looked white. It was actually the frost that formed because of his extreme anger.
“Are you stepping inside on your own, or… shall I do you the pleasure by killing you and then shoving you inside?”
As his words subsided, a sandstorm happened. It was so depressing that it would push one into despair.
“Hex, Pale Scholar.” Belarus said solemnly and fearlessly, “We are sorry for your loss too. My condolences. But our family has nothing to do with your brother’s death. Do investigate and find out the truth before you do anything rash. We are willing to make an offering as a token of respect for your late brother as well.”
Belarus then signaled Harry who presented a bank card.
“Money?”
Hex cackled disdain, sounding like a cold–blooded beast.
“My brother’s life is not something money can buy!” Hex glared at Belarus. He saw his own reflection in the man’s eyes. “I don’t need money. I want the lives of everyone in your family!”
When he finally revealed his intention, everyone in the Crestfalls was horrified.
Belarus wore a frosty expression and yelled, “Men! Show yourself!”
Swoosh!
Countless hitmen revealed themselves among the attendees.
It was Belarus‘ last resort. He would lower himself first and offer some money to Hex, but if the man refused to accept the goodwill, then he would have to prepare for a fierce battle.
Belarus did not order his men to attack because it would be the worst decision and the last resort.
He stared at Hex and said heavily, “Hex, I don’t want to stand against you. Give me a number, and I will gather the amount the best I can.
“But if you insist on taking our lives, we will fight back and we will do everything we can to make sure you go down with us!”
Belarus sounded firm and decisive, but Hex did not take him seriously.
CS CamScanner
He glanced at the hitmen from the audience and scoffed. “You really think the men you hired are strong enough to drag us down with you? You are going down today, every one of you! And I am certain that you won’t be dragging us down!”
Then, Hex’s murderous aura erupted from his eyes. He bellowed, “Brother, kill them!”
Spoof!
The Pale Scholar disappeared from the spot. He moved so fast that he left afterimages in his trail as he darted toward one of the hitmen.
Ugh!
Before the hitman could react, the Pale Scholar dug his eyes out.
When the hitman cried in pain, the Pale Scholar shoved the eyeballs into his mouth, forcing him to swallow them.
Then, he fanned out the iron fan that he wielded and sliced the man’s stomach. Intestines and organs spilled out from the opening.
The gory scene shocked many of the dignitaries, shocking them and causing them to throw up on the spot.
They feared the Pale Scholar like nothing before.
It was brutal and gory!
The Pale Scholar, as his name suggested, looked pale and quiet, but his methods were as cold as a serial killer. He did not even flinch when he killed the man.
Everyone was shocked by his method.
The dignitaries were horrified.
The Pale Scholar looked horrifying as if he was a ghost that everyone was afraid of
Swoosh!
Spoof!
Splat!
The Pale Scholar shuttled around the hitmen like a ghost, reaping their lives at a lightning–fast speed.
No one was able to match his speed, let alone respond to his kills.
A while later, all the hitmen were killed. The bustling city square was turned into a gory scene of murder. Blood and organs splattered, and the stench of blood filled the air.

Chapter 280
The scene was a nightmare for everyone that would haunt them for life.
“Men!”
After the hitmen were dealt with, Hex bellowed, “Shove every single one of the Crestfalls of Sumeria into the coffins!”
His words were a death sentence to the Crestfalls. They all felt despair and horror.
The Pale Scholar approached them, and the Crestfalls stepped back nervously.
Soon, they backed up to the wall of a building. There was no way for them to run.
Dang Dang Dang!
Then, a series of heavy thunks echoed across the bloody field. It was as though a death knell was being rung repeatedly, causing everyone’s head to buzz.
“Who is ringing the knell?!” Hex roared, looking furious as he tried to locate the source of the knell.
However, he did not get a reply.
Everyone looked around, attempting to locate the source.
“Up there!” someone screamed.
Everyone looked up.
On a skyscraper beside the city square, a figure was peering down at the bloody square. As the wind blew, his clothes fluttered. Due to the distance, they were unable to identify the person’s gender, let alone see
the face.
Swoop!
The figure leaped off the building.
Gasp!
“What the f*ck?”
“Is he trying to kill himself?”
Everyone was shocked by the daredevil. Their eyes traced the figure as he fell.
Thunk!
The person landed in the center of the city square. He did not die, or break an arm or leg. Unscathed, he walked up to Hex.
Everyone was once again astonished.
The man was an expert!
Those who were at the back turned around, wondering who was so audacious to perform such a stunt in front of Hex. Unfortunately, due to the distance, plus the man’s standing posture, the dignitaries were unable to see clearly, except for those in the front row,
It was Andrius!
Idris pointed at Andrius and shouted, “It’s him! Hex! It’s him!”

Hex glared at Andrius with frosty killing intent. His voice was as hoarse as a saw when he said, “Punk, you killed my brother and you dare come up to me?”
“Today is the day you die!”
The Pale Scholar’s figure flashed and appeared before Andrius. He and Hex blocked every escape route that Andrius had.
Belarus and the others were annoyed. They heard the interruption but were unable to have a clear look at
who it was.
Even if they tiptoed, they were unable to get a look at the man’s face.
“You have no right to determine who dies,” Andrius said as he looked at the two of them. “So, who wants to go first?”
Those in the front row gasped when they heard Andrius,
How arrogant of him to taunt the two vicious men under such circumstances! He was trying to get himself killed!
“You are asking for it!”
Killing intent erupted from the Pale Scholar’s eyes. He threw a punch at Andrius.
Before his punch landed, the gale from his fist fluttered Andrius‘ collar and shirt. The punch was inches away from his face.
Bang!
Andrius countered with a punch of his own.
The two fists met in mid–air. One lashed out in anger whereas the other simply threw a punch.
Crack!
A heavy crack sounded as the Pale Scholar’s hand was broken by Andrius‘ punch.
The broken bone rebounded and stabbed him in the throat.
Ugh… Ugh…
He could not even make a noise before he met his maker.
The entire square was silenced.
No one would have thought that the Pale Scholar, who murdered several hitmen with ease, would be killed with one punch. He did not even get to resist.
“Brother!”
Hex went up to his brother and held him in his arms. The killing intent in his eyes erupted.
“You punk! I will shred you to pieces!” Hex put the body down and roared at Andrius.
Then, he leaped into the air, carrying a boundless aura and hatred as he threw himself at Andrius.
