Meanwhile at Artemis Clinic, Andrius was writing prescriptions.
A few days ago, he thought of a brand new prescription that could relieve the veterans‘ pain more effectively, so he went over.
Suddenly, he received a call from Fatty Frank.
“Hello…” Andrius answered the call.
“Boss! Something bad has happened!” Fatty Frank’s voice was trembling, and he spoke in a hurry. “There’s some guy who calls himself Young Master Crestfall from the capital here at the office just now, and he just took Luna away by force.
“The security guards and we were not his bodyguards‘ match. Even Athena was knocked out. Boss, help! What should we do?”
Luna was taken?
Andrius frowned. He thought it would be peaceful after taking care of the Hendersons and the Hanshus, yet before he could even relax, Luna was taken away by force.
What in the…
“Young man, what happened?” Dr. Artemis came over and spotted the look on Andrius ‘face.
“Just now, someone claiming to be the Young Master Crestfall of the capital went to New Moon Corporation and took Luna away.”
“Young Master Crestfall of the capital?” Dr. Artemis‘ expression shifted when he heard the name and his expression spelled reverence.
He narrowed his eyes at Andrius and said deeply, “The Crestfalls in the capital are powerful and unreasonable. No one dares to mess with him. Based on what he knew, the Crestfalls in Sumeria are somehow related to them.
“Belarus, also known as Master Crestfall, left the capital back then and came to
Sumeria. It seems like after all these years, they are still haunting him.”
Dr. Artemis‘ explanation surprised Andrius.
“Dr. Artemis, the prescriptions are almost done.” Andrius pushed the stack of papers to Dr. Artemis then said, “I have to take care of this.”
Dr. Artemis voiced his reminder, “Alright. Be careful, young man.”
Andrius hummed a reply before he left the clinic.
He called Noir right after that. “Noir, I want you to locate Young Master Crestfall from the capital. He’s somewhere in Sumeria. Update me when you pinpoint his location.”
“Alright.”
Noir understood the severity of the matter, hence he carried out the assignment immediately.
In less than two minutes, Noir called Andrius, “Andy, he is at the Rising Dragon Hotel,”
Andrius‘ expression turned somber. He hailed a taxi, tossed a stack of money to the driver, and said, “Rising Dragon Hotel, as fast as possible.”
“The Rising Dragon Hotel? Alrighty!”
The driver felt energized when he saw the stack of money. The hidden racer personality within him woke up, and he stepped on the accelerator.
The taxi flew off like a supercar.
Meanwhile, at the Rising Dragon Hotel’s biggest VIP suite, Cain was on the couch with two beautiful ladies massaging him. He looked like he was having a good time, judging by his delighted expression.
Solomon was beside him, standing like a servant.
On both sides of the room were bodyguards with arms crossed. They did not move an inch despite standing for a long time as they were true professionals indeed.
Luna was tied up on the icy cold floor.
This was what Belarus and Harry saw when they arrived.
“Luna…”
Harry wanted to go over to her, but the bodyguards stopped him. He frowned and was forced to stay back for now.
“Grandfather Belarus, Uncle Harry…”
Cain looked at the two of them with a fake smile. “It’s been years since we last saw each other. You guys are as tough as ever, great!”
Belarus and Harry were not in the mood to reunite with Cain because he was holding Luna captive.
Chapter 182
The way Cain spoke was extremely pretentious.
Belarus said coldly, “We’re doing fine. We won’t die that easily.”
Harry had a somber look on his face as well. “I see my good nephew has grown up a bit.”
Cain, of course, could discern the sarcasm in their words, but he did not take them seriously. He said leisurely, “We are family. Why must you speak in that way? Actually, I am here to tell you guys something…” Finally, Cain got to the point.
Both Belarus and Harry knew what he was going to say.
Belarus stopped him and said, “Cain, what must we do for you to release Luna? Just tell us, stop wasting our time.”
“Nice! I like your straightforward attitude!” Cain clapped his hands. Then, he curled his lips into a vicious grin and said, “I want you and your family to get out of Sumeria, out of the East River State, and settle down in a small town in the southeast.
“Do not ever come back. And, you are to hand over all your business here in Sumeria, then I will release Luna.”
How atrocious!
He was trying to push the entire family over the edge!
Belarus and Harry’s expressions turned bitter. They were already cursing inwardly.
Before they could say a word, Solomon came over with the draft contract and placed it in front of the two of them.
“Impossible!” Belarus glared at Cain and bellowed, “Cain, even your grandfather, Idris, wasn’t this harsh on us back then!”
“Oh?” A hint of viciousness flashed on his face as he picked up a whip by the table. “I would suggest for the two of you to cooperate, or else this little whip might go out of control.”
Then, he swung the whip on top of Luna’s body, pretending to lash out at her.
His intention was obvious. It was a blatant threat!
Both Belarus and Harry were horrified.
As their expressions shifted even more, they found themselves in a difficult situation.
If they signed the contract, all their efforts throughout the years would go down the drain.
If they refused to sign the contract, Luna might suffer and given Cain’s personality, she might not survive the torment.
After some serious consideration, Belarus bit the bullet and decided to sign the contract. He even grabbed the pen and was ready to sign his name on the paper.
“Grandfather, no!” Luna shouted, “We have invested a lot of sweat and blood to bring our company and family to their current scale. We cannot just give them to this b*stard! Grandfather, Dad, don’t sign it! I’m not afraid of him!”
She showed strong resolve in the face of threats.
Chapter 182
Belarus was stunned. His hand holding the pen froze in the air and did not sign the papers.
Cain was Irritated. He glared at Luna and said viciously, “If this is your choice, then don’t blame my whip for being harsh!”
Then, he swung his whip and wanted to strike her.
Swoosh!
In the nick of time, a streak of light flew in and hit Cain on the wrist, disarming him of his whip.
It was a silver needle!
“F*ck! Who is it?!” Cain was infuriated as he looked in the direction where the needle flew in.
Andrius strutted into the suite.
Cain picked up his walkie–talkie and shouted, “Karen, I thought I told you to stop anyone who comes in. Why is this guy up here?”
Karen was his personal assistant. She said in a small voice, “Sir, the bodyguards are all defeated!”

Chapter 183
Andrius did not waste time with Cain.
While Cain was on the walkie–talkie, he strode over to Luna.
The bodyguards tried to stop him by throwing punches at him, but it did not deter Andrius at all. He remained calm as he continued forward.
When the first bodyguard’s punch almost hit his face, he attacked.
He grabbed the incoming fist, twisted it, and distorted the bodyguard’s arm into a freaky angle as if he was twisting a towel dry.
Then, Andrius kicked him away.
The other bodyguards threw themselves at him one by one; Andrius knocked them out one by one.
“Punk, you…”
The moment Cain got off the walkie–talkie, he saw his men defeated by Andrius, which fueled his anger and shock.
If he had simply stayed quiet, Andrius would not have gone after him. Now that he had spoken, it would be his end.
Andrius walked over to him and threw a punch in his face, sending him flying into the wall before he slid
to the floor.
Solomon almost peed himself when that happened. He quickly went over to Cain and helped him up.
Andrius ignored Solomon and untied Luna. Then, he said to the three of them, “Grandfather, Luna, you guys leave first. Leave this to me.”
The three of them exchanged a concerned gaze.
Belarus was worried about Andrius. “Andrius, Cain is…”
“Father!”
Harry stopped him immediately and said, “Let’s go! If Cain calls for help, we won’t be able to leave!”
He then signaled Luna.
Luna gritted her teeth and said to Andrius, “Be careful”
She then left the suite together with Belarus and Harry.
Luna was smart enough to make the right choice at a critical moment. At least, she knew that staying back would only burden Andrius.
Andrius was left alone in the room.
“You piece of sh*t!”
Cain got up to his feet with Solomon’s help. He glared at Andrius viciously and roared, “How dare you hit me? If I don’t kill you today, my name won’t be Cain Crestfall!”
Then, he picked up his walkie–talkie again.
Andrius was not bothered. He said coldly, “Since you have the same family name as Grandfather Belarus, I will give you three chances to take my life. However, if you fail, then don’t blame me for being rough on

Chapter 184
The criminals threw themselves at Andrius en masse.
Andrius took a step forward, threw a strike at the first man, and punched him against the wall, killing him on the spot. They were all murderous criminals who did not value life, so there was no reason for Andrius
to hold back.
However, Andrius‘ merciless punches somehow surprised the criminals.
Before they could react, he punched and kicked, knocking them all out one by one. They were either killed or crippled for life.
Half a minute later, only Andrius and Cain remained standing in the room.
Solomon had passed out due to shock.
Andrius looked at Cain and said, “You have two more chances.”
“Grr….” Cain’s eyes were bloodshot due to the anger.
Now, he finally believed Solomon when he said that Andrius was powerful. In fact, he was not just powerful, he was ridiculously powerful!
Cain, however, was not afraid, because he had a gun with him. He drew his gun out and took aim at Andrius. He then pulled the trigger.
“Die, Andrius Moonshade!”
Cain knew how powerful Andrius was, so he skipped the chatter because he was afraid that Andrius might disarm him again. He just wanted Andrius dead,
However, Andrius did not fall even after the gun was fired.
The bullet was a few inches away from hitting Andrius but was stopped by an invisible wall in mid–air. It could not penetrate whatever that was stopping it, and when the momentum ran out, it fell to the floor. Qi Energy Expansion!
Andrius was an expert in qi!
Cain was shocked.
A qi energy expert could fight ten, a hundred, or even a thousand men with ease. The bullet from the gun. was deadly, but if the qi energy expert had sufficient preparation, it was not enough to harm them.
Even if Cain fired all the bullets in his gun, he would not be able to hurt Andrius.
When the bullet was stopped, Cain had a change of mind.
Now that he knew Andrius was a qi energy expert, he could never kill him, even with guns.
Why not get Andrius to work for him and protect him from harm in the future? With that, he would be able to secure his safety.
“Mr. Moonshade, great qi energy you have there!” Cain put the gun away and said, “With skills like yours, becoming a son–in–law for the Crestfalls in Sumeria is really a waste.
“Why not come to the Crestfalls in the East River? You will be given the best, and we can make you one of our best fighters. You don’t have to attend to those trivial fights…”
Andrius was not interested in his nonsense. He stopped Cain by sneering, “The Crestfalls of the East
Chaplet 184

River? Who do you think you are, trying to make me your fighter? Are you daydreaming?” His words fueled Cain’s anger.
You unappreciative sh*t!” Cain’s expression turned frosty. “You really think being a qi energy expert makes you invincible? Even if you are one, the Crestfalls of the East River can still destroy you with ease.” “That’s enough,” Andrius said. “You still have one last chance. Think about what you are going to do.”
Cain stared at Andrius and nodded. He then dialed a number on his phone.
A while later, the door of the suite was blasted open.
Kabaam!
A frosty and ominous energy presence filled the entire suite. The air became so pressured that it was hard for one to breathe and became depressing.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
An old man clicked his tongue as he appeared at the entrance.
Chapter 185
The old man was scrawny and short. He had deep wrinkles on his face and caved in eyebags that somehow flashed wickedly from time to time. His stare was similar to that of a viper.
More importantly, his fingernails were maroon in color, extending long and sharp. It resembled the claws of a hawk who had just crushed its prey. It was frightening to look at.
Elder Nevermore, you’re here just in time! Kill this man for me!”
Cain was delighted by the old man’s arrival. He pointed at Andrius and commanded the old man to kill
him.
“Young Master Crestfall, a piece of cake.”
The old man cupped his fists at Cain before he headed to Andrius. He said as he walked closer, “Kid, I am Ulysse Nevermore, a pseudo–martial artist.”
He sounded proud and his gaze at Andrius was full of disdain. 1 cultivated the Nine Yin Skeleton Claws, and I have mastered it to perfection.”
Then, he swung his hands in the air.
Swoosh!
Clank!
Powerful qi energy blasted forward.
The tea table beside him was shredded to pieces and fell to the ground.
This is great! Elder Nevermore is indeed powerful!” Cain cried his praises when he saw Ulysse’s attacks. With Ulysse on his side, he was not afraid of Andrius.
He could kill Andrius right here, right now.
Ulysse grinned and sneered, “Up until now, my claws have crushed 399 people’s skulls and 421 people’s hearts, and also eliminated eight families from the face of the earth! All because of my Nine Yin Skeleton Claws!”
The delight and pride on his face were obvious. They were the achievements and glory that he had accumulated over the years.
“If you know who you are dealing with, you should kneel down and kowtow a hundred times to me and Young Master Crestfall. I maybe can grant you a quick death. If not…”
Ulysse clicked his tongue strangely again. The meaning was self–explanatory.
“You talk too much!” Andrius found the old man irritating with all the talking. He grunted coldly and said.” Old man, since your hands are covered in blood, I shall send you to hell and you can repent your sins there.”
As his words subsided, Andrius darted towards Ulysse. He lifted his leg for a dropkick.
Ulysse was furious. He roared, “Punk, your arrogance is useless here! I will rip you to shreds now!”
He responded with a grab with his claw toward Andrius leg.
With his grip strength, if he could get a hold of Andrius‘ leg, he could very well rip the leg off.
However, Andrius‘ furious dropkick landed on Ulysse’s chest in a flash. It felt like a speeding truck had run
him over or like a mountain had crashed on him.
Bang!
The powerful kick sent Ulysse flying away, crashing onto the wall behind him. Blood gushed from his mouth upon impact.
Before Ulysse could slide off the wall, Andrius dashed towards him. He extended his left hand and grabbed Ulysse’s wrist precisely, like an iron claw latching to its prey.
Then, his right hand grabbed one of Ulysse’s fingers and snapped it.
Crack!
The finger was broken on the spot!
Crack!
Crack!
The broken fingers sounded consecutively.
All five of Ulysse’s fingers were broken.
The fingers were crooked, bruised, and bled profusely. It was gory to look at.
The excruciating pain of losing his fingers made Ulysse sweat profusely. His eyes rolled back, and he almost passed out on the spot.
“Aaargh!”
Ulysse’s painful screams echoed across the suite. He finally knew it was a mistake messing with Andrius and that it was suicidal trying to take his life.
“Spare me!”
Ulysse was truly afraid. One misstep and he might die on the spot today.
He started to beg and plead for his life. “S–sir, please spare me life! I–I was wrong. I won’t do it again! I will do whatever y–you want…”
The physical pain and the mental horror tormented him, causing him to stammer continuously. He could barely finish a sentence properly.
Andrius grunted in disdain. “I thought you want to rip me apart. It’s too late for you to beg now. You’ve committed atrocious murders, so it’s better for you to go to hell.”
Then, Andrius grabbed his–other hand and did the same.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The cracks and Ulysse’s screams sent chills down one’s spine, causing goosebumps all over one’s skin. “My hands… Aaaaagh!”
Ulysse wanted to plead, but the pain drowned him, so he could only scream in pain whenever he opened his mouth.
All ten of his fingers were snapped, and the excruciating pain knocked him out.
However, Andrius did not spare his life. He stomped on the old man’s head, crushing him completely.
Splat!
Blood and brains splattered, and some landed on Cain’s face, frightening him.
Horrified, he stumbled backward. The pride and arrogance on his face had faded, replaced by endless horror.
“S–stay away from me!”
He stared at Andrius in horror and said quickly, “Andrius Moonshade, you cannot kill me. I am the young master of the Crestfalls from the East River State! If you touch me, you will be making new enemies for Belarus and Luna! You are strong, but the Crestfalls won’t escape this!”
Chapter 186
After Andrius left the Rising Dragon Hotel, he went back to the Crestfalls‘ estate.
Belarus, Harry, and Luna were all there.
Luna looked pale and had yet to recover from the shock.
“Andrius, you’re back.”
Belarus shook his head, sounding bitter with his explanation. He sounded casual when he mentioned his brother’s ‘tactics‘, but everyone, including the Crestfalls and even Andrius, knew what he meant.
“My brother was still worried about me threatening his position after Father passed away, so he accused me of a false crime and expelled me from the family, forcing me to move to Sumeria. Now…”
“Grandfather, it’s late. We have to go back now,” Luna said to her grandfather before driving back to Dream’s Waterfront with Andrius.
“Andrius, thank you,” Luna thanked him sincerely.
“You’re welcome.” Andrius turned around and smiled at her, “We are just pretending, but we have to make It convincing. No man would stay back and do nothing when his woman is taken away and tortured, am I right?”
He winked at Luna, and it somehow warmed her heart.
Andrius sounded frivolous.
When facing off against the Hendersons, the Hanshus, and now the other Crestfalls, no one was able to step up to deal with the problem directly like he had It was good enough that others did not take advantage of their situation.
As she combed through the details, she realized Andrius had never stepped back in the face of problems. No matter the problem, he was able to step up and handle it like a man.
At least, he fought for her and was powerful.
It should be considered a plus point!
“Mm–hmm. I’ll bear it in mind.”
When the words escaped Luna’s mouth, her face blushed.
“Geez…”
“Mr. Moonshade, you saved my life, and I am deeply grateful for it, but I won’t be much help when it comes to the Crestfalls. I wish you the best.”
Andrius smiled at Bruce’s sincerity. At least, the man did not turn around and bite him like Anthony.
“No matter how strong the Crestfalls from the capital are, if they dare to send anyone to Sumeria, they won’t be leaving the city in one piece,” Andrius said nonchalantly.
Bruce was at a loss for words. All he could do was pray for Andrius‘ well–being. He knew Andrius was a capable man.
Chapter 188
Meanwhile at the East River State, Idris brought his family to St. Jade Church for their monthly prayers. The Crestfalls were regulars, and they would donate a few million to the church from time to time. Therefore, the church prepared a VIP prayer room Just for the Crestfalls. The room was spacious at more than 200 meters square feet.
Idris held the prayer beads in his hands as he knelt on the cushion.
A slight hesitation later, he went up to his father and said in a small voice, “Father, I haven’t gotten in contact with Cain for a while now. I wonder if…”
Displeased, Idris added, “This is a sacred praying ground. A peaceful heart is imperative to achieve peace. You have been with me for so long. Don’t you know the meaning of emptying your hearts, emptying your fear?
Idris has absolute power in the family. No one dared to defy him.
