novelxo Chapter 301-310
Chapter 301
“What’s the situation?” Andrius asked hurriedly.
“Ms. Timberland is here. If you are not in the middle of something, come to my place and we’ll talk you through.”
“Sure.”
Andrius hopped on his electric bike and headed to Noir’s garage.
When he arrived, he asked, “What happened?”
Sonia felt confident after seeing Andrius. She explained, “When I was going through the Crestfalls and the Millers‘ assets, I found out that one of the three office buildings in Sumeria, the Stardust Complex, belonged to the Millers.
“There’s no way I’ll let such a good location go to waste, so I plan to make the building an office for Celestial Enterprise. However, when I visited the location this morning, the building was occupied by the Carmines of the capital.
“I contacted the person in charge, but they were rude and they looked down on our company.” That being said, Sonia was furious. “I sent my men to negotiate with them, but they refused to step away and they have grown even more audacious. I was planning to…”
Sonia then looked at Andrius. “I was planning to ask them out to settle the matter once and for all.”
Andrius finally knew what was going on.
Since he had three days off from work, he could attend the meeting with Sonia. He said, “I have some time on my hand, I’ll tag along. I want to see…”
He curled his lips into a vicious grin, showing off his teeth. “I want to see how audacious the Carmines are that they dare to challenge me.”
“Great!”
With the Wolf King by her side, nothing would go wrong.
Sonia called the person in charge right away and stated her intention.
They arranged a meeting at a cafe named Summertime Sunshine.
Andrius and Sonia arrived at the cafe together.
When the two of them were searching for a seat, a frivolous voice spoke in disdain behind them, “You’re Sonia Timberland? Quite the looker but not too bright.”
The owner of the voice obviously disrespected them.
They turned around and saw a young man sitting in the room.
The young man had gelled hair, a fair complexion, and pierced ears. He was wrapped in branded items from top to bottom, from watches to shoes, from Rolex to Armani. Anyone would take him for a rich second generation.
The man was Peter Carmine, the young master of the Carmines.
1
Next to the room were a dozen buff and tall bodyguards whose hands were covered with calluses. The calluses were a sign of them being well–trained.
Peter sized Sonia up from top to bottom with a judgmental gaze. “Ms. Timberland, what nonsense did you bring today? Hurry up and spit them out and get on with it.”
The man was indeed arrogant.
Andrius narrowed his eyes.
Sonia took a deep breath to suppress her anger and said, “Mr. Carmine, I’ll cut to the chase. The Stardust Complex used to be the Millers‘ asset, and now it is under Celestial Enterprise’s name. You…”
“Enough!” Peter rudely interrupted Sonia and said, “The Stardust Complex used to be under the Millers‘ name but you said it yourself, it ‘used to‘. Now, it belongs to the Carmines, so stop dreaming about having a piece of the pie! Stop wasting my time!”
Peter got up and wanted to leave.
The Timberlands were a powerful family, but the Carmines of the capital were not afraid of them. In addition to Simon–Tooke’s support, it only fueled Peter’s arrogance.
Sonia was infuriated.
“Hold it right there,” she bellowed. Her delicate face was frosty as snow. “Mr. Carmine, are you really going to snatch the Stardust Complex away just like that? You’re not going to give it back?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Peter paused and turned around for a glance at Sonia. He said meaningfully, “Yeah, I’m occupying it. What can you do about it?”
With that, Peter’s eyes gleamed coldly and he directly said, “Ms. Timberland, I hope you can
stop dreaming. The Stardust Complex is not a place you can take charge of. If you piss me off… Look at the men behind me, are they enough to destroy the Timberlands?”
Another blatant threat!
“You!”
Chapter 302
Sonia was fuming. She bellowed, “Peter Carmine, stop being a bully! Sumeria is not your backyard that allows you to do whatever you like.”
“Hahaha…”
As a wealthy second generation from the capital, Peter assumed a higher status than others, and he did not care about the dignitaries in Sumeria, not even the Timberlands who were one of the big three families.
“I don’t want to waste my time with you. I’ll be waiting for you at the Stardust Complex. If you have what it takes, then bring it on.”
A hint of viciousness flashed on his face as he scoffed at Sonia.
Then, he wanted to leave the cafe.
Andrius, who had been quiet the entire conversation, finally spoke, “I don’t want you to waste my time either. Give us back the Stardust Complex and we shall still be on negotiation terms. I can simply turn a blind eye to this. But, if you insist, then not only you but your whole family will suffer the consequences and pay a hefty price.”
His words made Peter laugh out loud. Even the bodyguards behind Peter cackled together. After the laughter, Peter looked at Andrius with contempt. “Who the hell are you supposed to be? Where did you come from? Why are you being a busybody, poking your nose into our matters?”
“I’m Andrius Moonshade.”
“I’ve never heard of the name.” Peter scoffed and continued, “Look at you. If you have the time, go sleep under the bridge or whatever. Don’t cause any trouble here.”
Then, Peter brought his bodyguards out of the cafe.
Sonia watched them leave. Confused, she asked, “Mr. Moonshade, why didn’t
you stop
them?”
“There’s no rush,” Andrius said meaningfully. “The families in the capital are wealthy, a lot wealthier than the companies here in Sumeria. Let them have it for now, and I will make them spit out everything soon, together with the interest he owes.”
Sonia was hit with a sudden epiphany. She finally knew why Andrius did not remove the Millers and the Crestfalls of the capital right away.
He was aiming for the long shot!
Andrius then called Noir. “Noir, tell the Carmines‘ master that the Wolf King wants to see him at the Royal Gardens. Tell him to bring his men there immediately.”
“Alright, Andy!”
The master of the Carmines, Dexter, was also in Sumeria doing an on–site inspection. At that moment, he was in the office doing some paperwork.
“The W–Wolf King wants to see me?” Dexter received the call from Noir and was astonished. He stammered, “The R–Royal Gardens? A–alright! I’ll be right there!”
When he hung up the phone, his excitement shot him up to cloud nine,
The Wolf King wanted to see him?
Even the masters of other wealthy families in Kiyoto deemed meeting the Wolf King a huge honor, let alone him, the master of a tiny family in the capital.
The meeting should be written in his family’s history books as it would bring honor to the generations to come. He could foresee his family rising in power and the ranks and soon reaching the top of the entire East River State.
Then, Peter brought his men back to the office.
“Sonia Timberland called me out again, and she had a man named Andrius Moonshade with her. They wanted me to give them the Stardust Complex back…”
“Just ignore them,” Dexter interrupted his son. He continued, “Get changed. Make it proper because we are going to meet the Wolf King.”
“The W–Wolf King?” Peter’s eyes widened in surprise, so wide that his eyeballs almost fell out. “Hold on, Father! I’ll go get changed!”
Meeting the Wolf King was a huge honor! He could use this meeting to reign over the entire East River State in the future.
A while later, Dexter and Peter, together with two followers, arrived at the Royal Gardens. They dared not dress extravagantly to meet the Wolf King.
The Royal Gardens‘ gates were tightly locked.
Dexter and company lined up neatly, waiting outside the gate patiently with their hands crossed.
A while later, an electric bike appeared before them.
Chapter 303
“So, you are the master of the Carmines? You’re early,” Andrius said with a smile after he had a glance at Dexter.
Since Dexter was so punctual and eager to receive his punishment, there was no way he would welcome the man with a frosty reaction.
Dexter was slightly surprised when he saw the electric bike.
However, since the rider spoke and he seemed to be heading into the Royal Gardens, he must be the Wolf King.
Dexter wore a flattering smile and wanted to bow at Andrius. “Wolf King…”
“Father, what are you talking about?” Peter pulled his father back and said scornfully, “He’s the man that I told you about earlier, the man that Sonia had with her earlier. He’s not the Wolf King.”
Dexter’s expression plunged into bitterness immediately.
The master of the Carmines almost mistook someone else for the Wolf King!
If this got out, how embarrassing would it be?!
“Andrius Moonshade, this is the Royal Gardens, the Wolf King’s private mansion.”
Peter scoffed and sized up Andrius arrogantly, “The Wolf King invited us for a meeting. That’s why we are waiting here.
“You… You look just like a beggar asking for money. Get the hell out of here. Don’t make a mess here. Your presence is a disgrace to such a great sight. If the Wolf King comes back and sees you causing a scene…”
A frosty intent appeared on Peter’s face. “You offend the Wolf King. One word from him, and you won’t be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.”
He said it like he was the real deal. He looked away after giving his warning, but the disdain
remained on his face.
“Is that so?” Andrius smiled. He then walked towards the gate.
“What are you doing?” Peter was surprised for a moment before he realized what Andrius was trying to do. He ridiculed, “Are you trying to pull out a key and going to claim that you took the wrong one? I’m telling you, this place is grand and sophisticated, and the locks are all digital. The owner’s fingerprint and vocal pattern are required to gain access. It’s high–end…”
Peter continued to boast and brag.
Andrius was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense. He unlocked the gate using his thumbprint.
Beep!
The gate opened.
Peter was stunned. His smile froze and his words were stuck in his throat, almost choking him.
As though he was slapped a dozen times, the embarrassment stung his face.
Andrius unlocked the gate of the Royal Gardens using his thumbprint?!
Was he the Wolf King!?
Peter was horrified as he stared at Andrius blankly. He forgot to blink, forgot how to speak, and forgot about everything.
It was outrageous!
How could Andrius be the Wolf King? Why was Andrius the Wolf King!?
He had insulted the Wolf King and crossed the line of no return! He even called the Wolf King a beggar and told him to sleep under a bridge.
Peter’s mind went blank but not Dexter’s.
Shocked, Dexter’s forehead was covered with sweat and the profuse sweating drenched his expensive suit. He kicked Peter by the knee, forcing the boy to kneel in front of the Wolf King before he, too, got on his knees.
“Wolf King, I am terribly sorry about this. My stupid son…”
He kowtowed repeatedly and even pressed Peter’s head to the ground as he was doing so.
“Let’s talk inside,” Andrius said with a frosty grunt before he walked in.
Dexter and Peter got up and followed him inside, looking morbid.
Inside the living room, Andrius sat on the couch with his legs crossed as he looked at the father and son kneeling before him.
“Wolf King… I was blind for not recognizing you. I was fooled, that’s why I said such stupid things. I was bewitched…”
“}
Peter remained horrified as he tried to come up with excuses to justify his behavior. With each excuse, he knocked his forehead on the floor loudly.
His forehead was swollen after a few hits, but since Andrius remained silent, he dared not
stop.
Spin to Claim Your Surprise Reward!
Chapter 304
“Wolf King, it’s my fault for not teaching my son right, hence giving him the chance to offend you.”
Dexter knelt beside Peter, kowtowing repeatedly to ask for forgiveness. He knew that once. Andrius put the blame on him or his son, the entire Carmines would be done for.
“Enough,” Andrius said casually. He added, “I can spare you and your family in Kiyoto, but you will have to surrender half of your current assets.”
Half?!
It was a severe punishment.
The Carmines had gone through multiple generations of hard work, internal conflicts, and business expansion to reach the current scale. Now, Dexter was forced to surrender half of them.
“Yes. Yes. I will surrender half of our current assets. Immediately!” Dexter nodded repeatedly. He dared not argue with the Wolf King.
Surrendering half of his family’s assets was a severe punishment, but it was better than what the Millers and the Crestfalls of the capital had suffered.
“I will make the necessary arrangements when I go back and deliver them to you at once.”
Dexter finally knew why Sumeria was ground zero for multiple incidents and why the wealthy families from the capital would hit a snag every time. It was because someone extremely powerful was in Sumeria!
“And the Stardust Complex,” Andrius added.
“Yes, yes. the Stardust Complex, of course!”
“Don’t forget it.” Andrius shifted his tone to include a sense of warning. “Sumeria welcomes all who do business here, but they must abide by the laws and follow the rules. If anyone tries to break the rules, attempts to disrupt the order, or has any ill intentions towards the locals, it would be suicidal for them.”
As Andrius‘ words subsided, the frosty intent shrouded Dexter whole and froze his heart, causing him to tremble.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Dexter nodded repeatedly and said hurriedly, “I will remember what you say today, Wolf King!”
“Get out,” Andrius bellowed without saying anything else.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
The father and son bolted up immediately, but their legs turned weak due to the kneeling and almost fell down again. Fortunately, they were able to help each other regain their balance and prevented themselves from further embarrassment.
As soon as the father and son stepped out of the Royal Gardens, Dexter immediately warned his son seriously, “Son, you must leave Sumeria as soon as possible. Leave now!”
“Uh…” Peter went blank for a moment. He said unwillingly, “Father, Simon–Tooke promised us to develop Sumeria together and we just arrived…‘
“Develop, your ass!” Dexter ran out of patience and interrupted his foolish son before he could finish. He roared, “Are you out of your damned mind? What made you so stupid? With the Wolf King here in Sumeria, do you really think Simon–Tooke has a chance?”
Peter was hit with a sudden realization.
Simon–Tooke was just a foreign company, which was nothing to the Wolf King.
The Wolf King killed foreign invaders mercilessly and reigned supreme on the battlefield. Those who defied him, be they foreigners or natives, would be punished.
If Simon–Tooke made their entry now…
Peter shook his head. The thought of it scared him, causing him to clench his rectum tightly.
Dexter added, “If you don’t want our family to perish, go back now and cut all ties with Simon -Tooke, and I mean all ties! Understand?!”
He was afraid that his stupid son acted foolishly again, so he emphasized it strongly, hoping that it would knock some sense into his son’s head.
“I understand, Father.” Peter knew the severity of the situation and nodded obediently.
Then, Sonia proceeded with the arrangement for the company.
Andrius was on a mini vacation and would spend his days drinking at Noir’s place.
A night before the opening ceremony at Simon–Tooke’s headquarters.
“Celestial Enterprise’s opening ceremony is tomorrow.” Mr. Longman looked at the men that he gathered and grinned. There were more than a hundred of them.
“Men, stay focused on the job! I want the opening ceremony to be a disaster!”
On the next day, the opening ceremony of Celestial Enterprise went on as planned.
Andrius arrived on his electric bike early in the morning.
“Mr. Moonshade, everything is ready. We’ll start when it’s time,” Sonia briefly said.
Andrius nodded.
“Andy.” Noir arrived and reported, “We got intel on Simon–Tooke. They have more than a hundred men ready to ruin the opening ceremony. Those foreign b*stards really don’t know when to give up.”
A hint of hostility flashed in Andrius‘ eyes. “If they insist on courting death, then let’s grant their wish. Get some snipers over. When they show up, fire away.”
Chapter 305
Soon, it was time for the opening ceremony to start.
The emcee went on stage and announced, “Now, let us begin the opening ceremony for Celestial Enterprise!”
Sonia, who was the person in charge of the company, went on stage and started the opening
ceremony.
Click! Click! Click!
Shutters snapped ceaselessly as the reporters took pictures of her on stage, capturing a historic moment for the company.
Celestial Enterprise started off strong. It contained all the assets and businesses of the Millers and the Crestfalls. In addition to the Timberlands‘ own resources, it became a behemoth in the industry. It would surely affect the economy of Sumeria, or even the entire East River State, in the future.
“Ms. Timberland!”
“What are your thoughts on including the Timberlands‘ business into Celestial Enterprise?”
“Ms. Timberland!”
“What are your plans for the next five to ten years?”
“Ms. Timberland!”
“Are the Timberlands the backbone of Celestial Enterprise?”
The reporters shoved their microphones close to Sonia, firing a barrage of questions at her. It was one reporter away from being chaotic.
“No. The chairperson of Celestial Enterprise is not a Timberland but someone else,” Sonia answered the last question.
“It’s not a Timberland?”
“Who is the chairperson of Celestial Enterprise?”
“Is it a family from Kiyoto?”
“Or…”
The reporters picked up the smell of an exclusive scoop, hence they fired even more questions at her.
“It’s…” Sonia smiled and looked up at the Stardust Complex. “It’s him!”
The reporters followed her gaze and looked up. They saw a figure standing at the top of the building.
The figure basked in warm sunlight, emanating a holistic and divine aura. He stood firm and tall like the ruler of the world, or an emperor, while the people beneath him were his subjects.
It was Andrius.
Unfortunately, she to the highting and distance, the reporters were unable to have a good look at his face
All the reporters and audience present at the scene were in awe of his hallowed aura. They forget about everything as their mind blanked out. His bright and divine presence made everything pale in comparison,
The image of a man basking in sunlight was branded in everyone’s minds for the rest of their lives.
A while later, the reporters regained their composure and continued firing trivial questions at Sonia, such as future development, the company’s goals, human resources, and so on.
When the interview session was over, the ceremony reached its climax.
“Now, let’s prepare for the ribbon–cutting session for Celestial Enterprise. Please…”
While the emcee made the announcement on stage, he was interrupted by a unison of hurried footsteps.
A bunch of thugs, armed with weapons, stormed onto the stage. There were more than a hundred of them.
The leader was a two–meter–tall bald man with flappy cheeks on his face. His presence alone was intimidating.
They were the thugs that Mr. Longman had gathered.
“Ribbon–cutting ceremony? I’m cutting your a*s!” the bald man roared with a vicious grin.” Our boss said that Celestial Enterprise disrespected him for annexing the Millers‘ and the Crestfalls‘ assets upon founding.
“Such a behemoth of a company cannot be allowed to exist in Sumeria. Now, shut this ceremony down and tear the place apart, or else…”
The bald man grinned wider, showing off his white teeth that looked intimidating.
“I will do it for you with my men!”
The emcee had never encountered such a situation and was horrified. She immediately looked at Sonia, pleading for help.
Sonia, unfazed, looked up at Andrius on the top of the building.
In fact, not only Sonia, all the reporters and the audience present at the ceremony looked Andrius, wondering what he would do about the situation.
up to
If Andrius did not strike back, in less than thirty minutes, the entire city, or the entire state, would know that Celestial Enterprise was nothing but a coward that anyone could take advantage of. The company would become a massive joke.
Up on top, Noir stood behind Andrius as he said, “Andy, the snipers are in position. Ready when you are.”
“Move out.”
“Aye.”
Noir then commanded into the walkie–talkie, “Everyone, move out.”

Chapter 306
The audience and reporters had no idea what happened but the thugs were mortified. They were notorious men themselves and they knew exactly what the red dots meant.
The red dots from a sniper!
They were all under multiple snipers‘ crosshairs!
Any unusual movement and the snipers would certainly put a bullet through their skulls!
The thugs were bullies of the city, but with that many red dots aimed at their heads, their temper and arrogance were replaced by obedience and timidity.
Fwoosh!
A company of soldiers came from all directions, armed with weapons that were loaded with real bullets, and surrounded the thugs immediately.
Thump!
All the thugs were horrified. They fell to their knees and put their hands above their heads without a second thought.
“We’re sorry!”
“We were wrong!”
“Please don’t kill us! We were under orders!”
Everyone was horrified.
Some wet their pants, some kowtowed repeatedly, begging for their lives, and some cried excruciatingly even though they were unharmed yet.
“Send them to the rural areas in the west and make them work as farmers there to cultivate the land and grow potatoes or something. They are forbidden to return for the next 20 years,” Andrius said as he peered down from above.
Noir delivered his order right away.
After the captain received the order from Noir, he looked at the thugs and said coldly, “All of you disrupted peace and harmony in the city by sabotaging the opening ceremony with armed weapons, causing a bad influence. I can spare your lives, but…”
The thugs were all ears when the captain seemingly gave them hope of sparing their lives.
“All of you will still be punished! You are all expelled to the west and tasked to cultivate the lands as farmers, planting potatoes or whatnot. You are all forbidden to return within 20 years.”
The captain’s sentence robbed the thugs of their gusto and energy as if their souls left their bodies.
However, it was definitely better than being executed on the spot.
After the soldiers brought the thugs away, the opening ceremony continued.
The scene left a strong impression on the reporters and audience alike. Celestial Enterprise has
the support of the military!
If anyone had the nerve to cause a scene in the future, they might follow the footsteps of the thugs who were sent to the rural lands in the west to plant potatoes.
Meanwhile, in the Royal Dragon, Mr. Longman was on the bed with his female secretary curled beside him like a soft kitten, looking comfortable and relaxed.
The television was showing the telecast of the opening ceremony of Celestial Enterprise.
“What happened?”
When the emcee announced the start of the opening ceremony, Mr. Longman clearly saw a
glitch on the screen, cutting the footage for a short moment, and it continued onto the ribbon -cutting ceremony.
Something had gone wrong.
According to his plan, the thugs he amassed should be sabotaging the ribbon–cutting
ceremony.
Why did it go on?
Mr. Longman continued watching.
However, other than the little glitch, the entire ceremony seemed normal. His men were nowhere to be found.
“F*ck!” Mr. Longman roared.
He immediately called the baldy, who was the leader of the group.
The call got through but there was no answer.
Something must have gone south!
“Find out what happened! I want to know what happened on site!”
Mr. Longman had a feeling that his plan was foiled. He slapped his secretary’s naked backside and gave the order with a trembling voice.
The secretary reluctantly got dressed. It was still her job to settle the boss’s problem as it always had been.
Half an hour later, just when Mr. Longman was about to lose his patience, the secretary returned with a reporter who attended the opening ceremony.
“What happened there?” Mr. Longman asked eagerly.
The reporter lowered his head in silence.
Mr. Longman put his fingers out. “10 million. Tell me what happened and I will give you 10 million!”
10 million was not a small amount, but the reporter shook his head and refused to speak.
Before the soldiers left the ceremony, they had checked all the cameras and deleted all the footage. The reporters were forced to sign a disclosure agreement.
Once disclosed, one would be severely punished by the military, and it would mean the end of one’s life.
It was the main reason why the soldiers did not appear on TV.
Mr. Longman clenched his teeth. He added, “How about this? I’ll give you 20 million and I’ll send you to Tartan, another country, to spend the rest of your life. No one would know that it’s you. Can you tell me what happened back there?”
Mr. Longman stared at the reporter with his deep eyes.
The reporter ponder for a while before he went up close to Mr. Longman and whispered in his ears, “The military.”
He spoke softly but it sounded like a clap of thunder in Mr. Longman’s ears.
The man’s face paled.
The military had intervened and foiled his plan?
Chapter 307
Did Celestial Enterprise have the support of the military?
After the reporter left, Mr. Longman contacted his superior, Dean Mitchell, the chairman of Simon–Tooke, to inform him what happened.
“The military?”
Dean was unfazed after learning what happened. He scoffed and said, “Is this why Celestial Enterprise has the nerves to compete against us?”
“Longman, you don’t need to be afraid. It’s common to have a military background nowadays. I will take the first plane to Sumeria after I am done with my business here.
“The whole of Sumeria and the East River State saw what happened this time. Celestial Enterprise boldly stands against Simon–Tooke. If we don’t teach them a lesson, any Tom, Dick and Harry in the future might stand in the way of Simon–Tooke!” Dean sounded exceptionally frosty on the phone.
Mr. Longman was overwhelmed with joy.
If Simon–Tooke also had the support of the military, he did not need to be so concerned or afraid.
Breathing a sigh of relief, he asked eagerly, “Mr. Chairman, what should I do next?”
“Mm–hmm…” Dean pondered before he scoffed viciously and said, “Before I arrive, sideline Celestial Enterprise first. If you can deal with them now, go after New Moon Corporation first.
“We’ll regain what we lost at Celestial Enterprise from New Moon Corporation, and we must make an example out of them. Or else… it would be humiliating!”
Mr. Longman nodded and said, “Yes, sir. I will make the necessary arrangements.”
Back at New Moon Corporation, Luna was watching the news about Celestial Enterprise as well. With such a behemoth of a company making its debut in Sumeria, it would certainly affect the economy of the city.
She had to plan things out beforehand.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, she spotted someone familiar on screen.
The scene showed Andrius‘ back on top of the building.
Since Andrius appeared during the interview session and was standing from afar so that no one was able to capture his face even by zooming in, the editor left the footage in there.
However, when Luna had a look at it, she suddenly related the figure with the Wolf King who had appeared at the funeral of the Crestfalls from the capital.
Both of them had the exact same figure! They were the same person!
Could it be that the Wolf King was the secret boss behind Celestial Enterprise?
The more Luna pondered, the higher the possibility.
First of all, both figures were highly familiar.
Second, who else other than the Wolf King had the power to make the Timberlands include all their businesses into the newly founded company?
“Luna!”
While Luna was pondering, her office door was pushed open and a pleasant voice rang out. She looked at the entrance and saw her cousin, Rainbow.
“Rainbow!”
Luna got on her feet and went over to Rainbow.
“Luna!” Rainbow smiled at her sweetly.
The two beautiful girls shared a warm hug.
The more mature Luna had the perfect body and a delicate face that complimented her frosty temperament.
Rainbow was youthful. She had a healthy physique and bright eyes that highlighted her innocent presence.
They were like two different but beautiful flowers tied in a bouquet. They hugged each other tightly for a while before separating.
Luna looked at Rainbow with her beautiful eyes. “Rainbow, what brings you here? Why didn’t you call me? I could have sent someone to pick you up.”
“It’s okay. I can come here on my own.” Rainbow smiled and continued, “I’m a senior now and I’m almost graduating. I’ve even completed my thesis, so all that’s left is to find a job.”
Rainbow then looked around the office curiously.
“Why don’t you come to work for me? I can pay you like a normal employee here,” Luna said after a quick thought.
“It’s okay.”
To Luna’s surprise, Rainbow rejected her offer.
“I’m trying to rely on my own skills and knowledge and see what I can achieve. Why don’t you give me a hand and help me find a job?”
Rely on her own skills?
Chapter 308
Luna smiled. It cheered her up thinking about it.
University graduates usually had high hopes for the future. They were passionate, ambitious, and energetic.
Without insisting, Luna said, “It’s a good thing that you want to step out and give things a try, but I have a lot to do now, I can’t leave. Why don’t I ask your cousin–in–law to bring you around? At least, you don’t have to worry about getting duped.”
Cousin–in–law?
Rainbow immediately thought of Andrius and Noir. She still had the picture with Noir on her phone.
She nodded happily.
“Yes! Of course!”
Luna then called Andrius, asking, “Andrius, where are you now?”
“I’m… drinking. What’s wrong?”
Andrius was on his electric bike, riding towards Noir’s garage for a few glasses.
“Why are you drinking at this hour? Stop it.” Luna sighed helplessly. “Rainbow is here and she wants me to help her find a job. I want you to take my place and bring her around.”
Andrius was then forced to make a U–turn back to New Moon Corporation.
Rainbow was already waiting outside the building when Andrius arrived.
The electric bike could not fit two people, so Andrius hailed a taxi.
While they were waiting, Andrius asked, “Rainbow, where are you going for an interview?” “Celestial Enterprise!” Rainbow said without a second thought.
“Oh?” Andrius did not expect the girl to favor Celestial Enterprise over the other companies. He was curious about her swift decision, so he asked, “Celestial Enterprise is a newly founded company. Why are you going there?”
“Because…” Rainbow suddenly looked mysterious as she continued, “I heard Celestial Enterprise has strong military support and that the secret boss might be the Wolf King.
“Do you think I can meet the Wolf King while working there? I would be so lucky if I can!” Rainbow closed her eyes, looking infatuated when she talked about the Wolf King.
“Ah, how exciting.”
Andrius‘ lips twitched helplessly.
Judging from the girl’s infatuation, if he told her he was the Wolf King, she might hop around excitedly or even dance on the spot.
“What is it? Am I wrong?” Rainbow did not get his answer, so she opened her eyes at Andrius, asking in displeasure.
ape. You’re right!” Andrius held his laughter back and nodded repeatedly. “I hope you can meet him as well.”
“Yeah. That’s more like it.” Rainbow softly snorted and was pleased with Andrius‘ response.
A while later, the taxi arrived at the Stardust Complex.
After sending Rainbow in, Andrius called Sonia.
“Ms. Timberland, Lima’s cousin, Rainbow, is having an interview here at the company. You know what to do.‘
“Alright. I got it.‘
Sonia hung up and put her work aside.
Andrius waited outside patiently.
A while later, Rainbow came out with a sour look.
Curious, Andrius raised a brow. “What’s wrong, Rainbow?”
He had informed Sonia about Rainbow’s interview, so there should be no problem for her to
pass.
Did Sonia not make it to the interview in time?
“Sigh…” Rainbow sighed, looking disappointed. With a slight anger, she said, “Celestial Enterprise… It’s so frustrating!”
“What happened?” Andrius furrowed his brows.
Rainbow said with pouty lips, “The interviewer wants me to be his mistress… I said no, and he failed me.”
What the hell?
Andrius was furious. He owned Celestial Enterprise. He arranged for Rainbow to have an internship position within the company, but some random interviewer had given her a hard time.
Even if Rainbow was not Luna’s cousin, it was wrong to ask a fresh grad during an interview to be the interviewer’s mistress.
Andrius was not having it.
“Come on.”
He held Rainbow’s hand and stormed into the building.
“I’ll make things right for you.”
Chapter 309
Meanwhile, in the meeting room, the interviewer cum recruiter, Javier Rosstrum, pushed the resume back to the interviewee and said to her, “Jess, you lack working experience, but Celestial Enterprise prioritizes personal skills. I wonder if you have any outstanding skills.” The interviewee, Jess, pondered in silence for a moment before she shook her head. “I’m a fresh grad. What kind of skills are you looking for?”
“A fresh grad, eh…” Javier sighed pitifully. He reached out to Jess‘ hand on the table. “Then, I would like to see how far you are willing to go. How about your sincerity?”
Sincerity?
Seeing the perverted look on Javier, Jess knew what was going on instantly. She looked down but she moved her hand forward. She said shyly, “What kind of sincerity?”
“That kind of sincerity…”
Javier touched her hand as the lust in him went out of control.
It was soft! It was smooth! The taste of youth!
Bang!
It was then Andrius kicked the door open and stormed into the meeting room.
It was Jess’s first time, and she was nervous. When Andrius stormed in, she immediately retracted her hand.
Javier was furious. He almost had her, but he was interrupted.
“Who the hell are you? What are you doing here?”
Rainbow was behind Andrius, so Javier did not see her at first. He lashed out at Andrius instead.
“Is it him?” Andrius ignored Javier and asked Rainbow.
Rainbow glanced at the man and nodded.
Javier finally spotted Rainbow. His eyes narrowed and multiple thoughts flooded his mind.
“Mr. Javier Rosstrum?”
Andrius glanced at Javier’s nametag on his chest and said indubitably, “You abused your position and harassed the interviewee. You’d better resign on your own. The company doesn’t need a piece of trash like you.”
Javier was not afraid of Andrius‘ threats. He grinned viciously as he diverted his attention to Rainbow.
He said frivolously, “You are Rainbow Conery, right? You are the one who tried to seduce me to get the position, but I solemnly rejected you! I failed you, and you are getting back at me? You…”
Rainbow was just a fresh grad and had no experience in society. She shook when Javier
switched the blame to her. She pointed at Javier and cried in disbelief, “You’re accusing me!”
“Tsk.”
Javier was a cunning old fox who was confident about turning the situation against Rainbow. He bellowed, “Everyone! Come in here and have a look at how shameless this girl is! She’s willing to exchange her dignity for the position! Yeah! It’s her!”
Following his loud voice, many employees gathered at the entrance.
The employees chose to believe Javier, and they started to criticize Rainbow’s behavior. “Gosh! She’s so pretty, I didn’t know she was this kind of person.”
“Young girls nowadays are shameless.”
“Her parents must be proud of her.
“Who would have thought? There’re actually a lot of girls like her now.”
The employees were relentless with their comments, and they made Rainbow cry. Tears fell from her eyes.
“Tsk.”
“She’s exposed and started crying?”
“What a b*tch.”
“She’s good.”
The employees spared no mercy even after they made Rainbow cry.
Rainbow cried out loud as the grievance drowned her.
“It’s okay.” Andrius patted her back and consoled her, “I’ll make things right for you. This cheap b*stard can’t run.”
He then walked over to Javier. He was truly angry after what Javier did to Rainbow.
His narrowed eyes had a frosty gleam that would strike fear in one’s heart.
Javier’s heart skipped a beat, but he was not a soft target either. He roared, “Security! Where is the security? Throw these two troublemakers out of the building!”
Someone entered the meeting room.
Chapter 310
However, it was not security but Sonia.
She had heard the commotion from outside the room and heard Javier’s shouts.
Knowing that Andrius was in the room, she was not particularly in a bright mood.
Andrius looked at Sonia and asked coldly, “Sonia, what is the company’s policy on someone abusing their authority, harassing the interviewee, and tainting the office with his filthy actions?”
Sonia glanced around after hearing Andrius‘ question, and she immediately knew what just happened. Her expression turned gloomy.
Before she could say a word, Javier shouted, “What nonsense is this?”
He pointed at Rainbow and shouted, “It is this girl here who tried to seduce me for the position
Slap!
Before he could finish, Sonia slapped him on the face. “Open your damned eyes and look properly. This man here is the big boss behind Celestial Enterprise!”
Sonia’s eyes were as cold as ice and she was fuming.
Her words shocked everyone.
Andrius? The young man who looked shabby was the secret boss behind Celestial Enterprise and the one who had military support?
Everyone rubbed their eyes and dug their ears in disbelief.
They found it difficult to believe it, but their CEO, Sonia, said it herself, so it must be true!
Rainbow was astonished.
Andrius, her cousin–in–law, was the secret boss of Celestial Enterprise?
No wonder he reacted bitterly when she told him what happened with the interview.
He was the one who made it all happen!
It was unbelievable!
“Uh…” Javier was stunned.
Did he just harass the boss‘ cousin–in–law?
“I… I…”
Javier was morbid. He could not stand or speak properly.
Thump!
His legs turned weak and he knelt in front of Andrius. “B–Boss, I–I was wrong. I shouldn’t… Before he could finish, Sonia impatiently said to the security guards who had just arrived, ” Take him out. Inform the entire industry to blacklist him!”
Javier’s eyes were void of hope. As he lost his strength and collapsed on the floor weakly, his eyes went out of focus.
Then, the security guards dragged him out like a ragdoll.
“I’m so sorry about this, Mr. Moonshade.” Sonia said apologetically, “It is my mistake that the company hired such a cheap and immoral person who does not set a good example for the employees. He failed to adhere to the rules of the office.”
Andrius did not put the blame on Sonia. He simply said, “Celestial Enterprise is still new, so it’s understandable to have one or two problems, but you have to take note of this and make sure the same thing won’t happen again.”
“Yes, sir.”
“She’s Rainbow, the girl I mentioned. She’s graduating soon.” Andrius introduced Rainbow, who had yet to recover her composure. He added, “Find her a suitable position in the company.”
“I am still searching for a secretary. Why don’t you come to my office and help me, Rainbow? How’s that?” Sonia suggested.
“Great.”
With Sonia mentoring her, at least, there would not be any more problems and it was a good idea.
“Rainbow, come with me, and we’ll go through the necessary recruitment process.”
Sonia then headed out of the meeting room.
Rainbow had a few more glances at Andrius before she finally recovered.
“O–Okay! I’m right behind you!”
In Sonia’s office.
“Ms. Timberland, you are saying that my cousin–in–law, he…”
Rainbow dared not believe what she heard from her new boss. She asked for confirmation
again.
“He…”
Sonia laughed at her blank look. “You heard me right. Your cousin -in–law is the Wolf King, the big boss of Celestial Enterprise.”
