Chapter 222
Jeremy tried to run but could not.
It was a hurdle that he could not overcome, and it was fated that karma would get him.
His soreams filled the room, one louder than the other.
Two hours later, the men finally left.
Jeremy lay on the bed like a dead fish. He took half an hour to recover some stamina before he slowly got up.
When he got out of bed and tried to stand on his feet, his legs turned into jelly, and he fell to the floor.
Jeremy held the wall and pulled himself up, limping out of the crime scene step by step.
He went to check the surveillance camera. He found out that after he entered Luna’s room, Andrius had followed him inside.
That man had been faking it! He was behind the entire plan!
“Andrius Moonshade…” Jeremy’s narrowed eyes glinted coldly. He bellowed with gritted teeth, “I’ll spell my name backward if I don’t kill you!”
Then, his secretary, Lizzie, called him. “Sir, Ms. Sonia Timberland is here at the resort.”
“Got it.”
Jeremy hung up the phone. He changed into some fresh clothes and put some cologne on to cover the disgusting stench before he headed to his office.
Half a minute later, Jeremy arrived at the office, but he realized that the door was already open.
Ms. Timberland had arrived?
He took a deep breath, adjusted his clothes, and endured the stinging pain from his anus before he walked inside.
However, he was stunned when he saw only one person inside–it was Andrius. He was sitting in Jeremy’s chair, leaning back and relaxing.
When the door opened, Andrius opened his eyes and looked at Jeremy in a mocking manner.
Jeremy was infuriated. “Andrius Moonshade!” he bellowed viciously. His raging gaze was filled with hatred from the man who set him up.
“I haven’t even gotten to you and you came to me? Security! Where is the security?!”
However, he got agitated and accidentally stretched his crotch. The agony almost caused him to lose hist balance.
Andrius laughed at him. It seemed like the men Noir got did a great job in satisfying Jeremy. He smiled faintly and teased, “Jeremy, you are too weak. That was just one night with the guys, and you can’t even stand properly already? Don’t get so excited.”
He was sprinkling salt on Jeremy’s wound.
Jeremy was fuming.
The security guards arrived in front of the office.

The angry Jeremy pointed at Andrius and roared, “F*ck him up! I want you all to wreck him! I’ll bear all responsibility if anything happens!”
The security guards entered the office and surrounded Andrius.
Clack! Clack!
Before the security guards could lay a finger on Andrius, clear clacks from a woman’s heels sounded from the corridor.
Jeremy turned around and saw Sonia. He went up to her with a flattering smile. “Ms. Timberland! I am so sorry about this. Someone is causing a mess here. I’ll deal with it real fast.”
He then snapped his fingers at the security guards.
Sonia’s face turned frosty. She said, “This is Mr. Moonshade’s premises. I think you are the one causing a
mess here.”
Jeremy was stunned.
What did she mean?
He could not understand her words.
Then, Sonia gave Andrius the contract for the resort. “Mr. Moonshade, from today onwards, the Galaxy Way Resort is yours.”
Sonia respected Andrius as if she was worshipping a God.
In fact, Andrius took the contract nonchalantly as if he was a God.
Jeremy was stunned on the spot.
Chapter 223
What was going on?
In the blink of an eye, a thousand thoughts ran through Jeremy’s head. He finally realized what happened.
When Andrius confidently made the call yesterday and asked a woman named Ms. Timberland to buy the resort, Jeremy then received a call from Sonia after a while.
Sonia had offered 300 million to purchase his resort.
He also thought of the men who had r*ped him. They must also be under Andrius‘ command. They all looked vicious and intimidating and not a part of them looked like common citizens. They must be from prison.
Andrius was not just a nameless guy from the mountains!
He was not pretending! He was someone powerful, so powerful that even Sonia revered and respected
him.
The more he pondered, the more anxious he got. He sweated profusely and wet his expensive shirt.
Thud!
He knelt down before Andrius and started to plead, “Mr. Moonshade, please forgive me. I was blind and I was not myself yesterday. Please forgive me. Spare me once, and I will do anything!”
Jeremy pleaded and cried on his knees.
Andrius ignored him and said to the security guards, “Take him away and send him to room 305.”
The men he summoned from prison had finished their meals and rested, so the ‘game‘ continued.
The security guards already knew that Andrius was the new boss of the resort. Therefore, they carried out his first order meticulously.
They disregarded Jeremy’s struggles and screams and brought him away.
After Andrius dealt with Jeremy, he received a call from Luna.
She sounded annoyed. “Andrius, where are you? The auction is happening soon! Come down to the restaurant and have breakfast!”
The call ended.
Andrius headed to the restaurant immediately.
Luna was halfway done. She looked at him with a straight face and said, “I said you could take a stroll and you went to have fun? Look at the time! Hurry up and finish your breakfast, or we won’t make it in time!”
Luna glared at Andrius, seemingly trying to blame him for not being punctual.
Andrius had gotten used to her attitude, so he was not overly bothered. He munched on his breakfast quickly.
Then, a thought about the auction rushed into his mind. He simply asked, “Riverfront Entertainment should be a hot cake. How much funds have you prepared?”
“200 million,” Luna said without a second thought.
200 million?
Andrius might not be an insider, but he knew that the Riverfront was a promising company with a future. The celebrities that it signed up had large fanbases, so it would definitely grow.
200 million was not enough. He believed that Luna knew it as well.
Luna suddenly looked disheartened. She explained, “We got a billion last time, but in order to hasten the progress on the Valiant Institute project, I invested a portion into it. Plus some smaller projects, here and there… 200 is my limit.”
Andrius frowned when he heard her but he did not say a word.
If the bidding price for Riverfront Company exceeded 200 million, he had plans to use his own money to get the company for Luna. He would consider it a present to her. It was no big deal.
After breakfast, the two of them headed to the auction hall.
A few steps later, a young man in an Armani suit stopped Luna. He whistled and teased her frivolously,” Hey, girl. I like you. Can I have your number? Let’s be friends.”
Luna sized the man up from top to bottom and saw nothing but branded items. She was not bothered though. She simply asked, “Who are you? Why should I be friends with you?”
Several other men came out from behind the young man, all looking arrogant and proud.
“Hey, babe. This is the young master of the Millers from the capital, Charlie Miller!”
“Young Master Miller wants to befriend you because he likes you. Don’t be such a killjoy.”
“Yeah.”
“Hurry up. Tell us your phone number. Stop wasting our time.”
They sounded pushy and rude, and it disgusted Luna.
Andrius was similarly angry as well. Luna was his nominal wife, yet the punks were teasing his wife in
front of him.
Was he invisible? Or non–existent?
“Hey, you..
hapter 224
Andrius glared at Charlie and said coldly, “I don’t care what kind of young master you are. Get the hell away from my face. If you continue to harass my woman, I will shove your head into the toilet bowl.”
His words silenced everyone for at least three seconds.
Charlie did not expect someone would threaten him under broad daylight. After all, he was from a wealthy family from the capital.
What the f*ck?
Was it because he looked nice, so others bullied him?
“Punk! You’re tough, eh? You, and you, and you, get…” Charlie bellowed and ordered his men to beat Andrius up.
Then, his butler, Uncle Stan, held him back and whispered into his ear, “Sir, we are here on a mission. We shoulder the family’s duty. You can get a woman after we are done with the mission..
“If we are unable to complete the mission your father assigned, he will punish all of us. We must prioritize Riverfront Entertainment first.”
E
Charlie was fuming, but he was forced to hold his temper back.
Andrius and Luna had left by then.
Charlie had a frosty look as he watched the two of them walk away from his sight. He pouted his lips and said to one of his followers, “Go, keep an eye on them. After the auction, I’ll get them!”
The man nodded and went after Luna and Andrius.
The auction finally started. Luna and Andrius sat down and waited.
Luna’s target was Riverfront Entertainment.
A while later, the last item was put on auction. The auctioneer announced on stage, “The last item for the day will be… Riverfront Entertainment! This company is one of the best–performing ones, and it was founded by the richest man in Sumeria, Anthony Henderson. It is already profiting shortly after operating and…”
After a short introduction, the auctioneer named the price, “We will start at 800 million. Each call is a million. Let the bidding begin.”
The floor was riled up.
“90 million!” 2
“95 million!”
“100 million! I’m getting it!”
“100? Who are you joking? 105 million!”
Luna joined the bid.
“110 million!”
Charlie’s laughter came from the VIP room. “The woman is here to buy Riverfront Entertainment as well? We must be fated.”
He immediately increased the price. “120 million.”

Luna heard his voice as well, but it did not stop her. She increased the price again. “125 million.”
“130 million!” Charlie raised the price without a second thought. After that, he looked at Luna with a teasing gaze.
Luna was angry, but she could not do anything either. She continued to raise the price, “140 million.”
“150 million.”
No matter how much Luna raised, Charlie would top her by a little.
Luna was furious. She decided to make her final offer, which was also her limit. “200 million!”
“210 million.”
Charlie continued his provocative raise. He was not deterred by the price and simply looked at Luna with
a teasing gaze.
Luna was disheartened. 200 million was her limit and she still could not do anything to Charlie.
Charline could tell Luna had reached her limit. He chuckled and ridiculed her, “Girl, why are you spending that much money to buy the company? Why don’t you marry me? That way, you can become the chairman’s wife without spending a penny. One stone, two birds.”
He cackled loudly after that.
Luna flushed with anger. She clenched her fists tightly, and her joints started to turn pale due to the excessive strength.
Andrius then frowned.
If Charlie wanted to play, so would he. With that, Andrius said, “300 million!”

Luna was stunned. She only had 200 million worth of funds, yet Andrius raised the price to 300 million.
He must be trying to cause trouble again!
“Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Charlie shook his head disapprovingly. He came from the capital, so he was naturally more arrogant than others. In addition to his funds, he did not take Andrius seriously at all.
Besides, buying Riverfront Entertainment was a mission his family assigned him, so there was no point in him being afraid of the price.
“One hundred million more? How terrifying. What’s wrong? What did I say just now that pissed you off?” Charlie wore a villainous smile and put four of his fingers up. “Excuse me. I’m rich and I can do whatever I
want. 400 million!”
Gasp!
The other attendees gasped. They were in awe of how rich young people were nowadays. Each raise was a hundred million! It was as though the price was just a number and not money!
How ridiculous!
After Charlie raised the price, he looked at Andrius and Luna again with an annoying face.
Andrius had more than a trillion in his pocket. His personal assets could rival that of a middle–tier country. Why would he be afraid of some Trust Fund Kid?
“500 million.”
“Yooo…” Charlie was slightly surprised before he raised the price again. “600 million!”
All the attendees were in awe of the price war.
Based on rough calculations, Riverfront Entertainment might be a profitable company, but its value was only around 500 million.
The price war between Andrius and Charlie was purely impulsive. It was the first time others had seen the price increase by a hundred million per call.
“700 million,” Andrius said without a second thought.
To him, he had more money than he could spend for the rest of his life, so a few hundred million was just a small figure.
However, Luna was truly afraid. She tugged Andrius‘ sleeve and signaled him to stop. Andrius was driven by emotions right now and did not answer her signals or calls.
“800 million!”
Even though Charlie remained arrogant, he no longer sounded as confident as before. He only has one billion worth of funds, so 800 million was one step closer to his limit and exceeded his expectation.
“900 million!” Andrius remained calm as he raised the price.
Luna was already cursing inwardly.
Andrius…
She had warned him not to cause a scene or bluff yesterday but he was doing the most outrageous thing during the auction.
Chapter 225

If he lost the bid to Charlie, that would be fine; if he won the bid and was unable to pay up, what would
she do about it?
Luna got nervous and anxious like she had ants in her pants.
900 million pressured even Charlie. However, in order to not lose face to Andrius, he feigned a calm look and continued to raise the price. “One billion!”
One billion?!
The other attendees were flabbergasted by the number.
Other families might not even be worth a billion if they sold everything, yet Charlie made it sound like it was pocket money.
Did he have a money printer at home?
Andrius chuckled. He could see that Charlie was pushing it. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Young Master Miller, I’m sorry. I’m raising the price to 1.1 billion. I win again. Are you calling or not?”
Charline was fuming. He thought it was going to be a sure win with his funds. It turned out exactly like he expected, but he was not the one who won the auction.
There was no use even if he boiled in anger. The auction could only be won by money, not temper.
Since the price had exceeded his budget, Charlie stopped calling and allowed the auctioneer to hammer the mullet three times.
“1.1 billion, calling once, twice and… sold! Riverfront Entertainment is sold to Ms. Crestfall for 1.1 billion!”
The auctioneer announced the final price for the company.
Thud!
Charlie had a sour look on his face as he tapped the arm of his chair strongly.
“Sir, please calm down.” The butler, Uncle Stan, whispered viciously into his ear, “The woman struggled when she was calling for 200 million. That is obviously her limit. Maybe, the guy beside her is just trying to show off and doesn’t have the money. Let’s just wait and see.”
Charlie’s eyes glinted maliciously when he heard his butler. Uncle Stan was right!

Luna stopped after the bid reached 200 million.
However, Andrius pushed the price all the way to 1.1 billion.
How Ndiculous!
Charlie looked at Luna with a scornful expression.
Her mind went blank!
The auctioneer was calling her from the stage, “Ms. Crestfall, please come up on stage to examine the item and make your payment.”
Luna did not have the money, so how was she going to pay the auctioneer?
With her life?
Andrius got up on his feet with a card in his hand. The card in his hand looked plain and somewhat used. It had even lost its original gloss.
Everyone else was shocked.
“Damn…”
“This card doesn’t fit someone who has 1.1 billion.”
“I don’t think that card can hold that much money as well.”
Then, one of the workers came up on stage and whispered something into his ear, and the auctioneer’s expression changed drastically from a frosty look to a gentle expression with a wide smile.
As soon as Andrius stepped out, a group of men stopped him. The leader of the group looked vicious, and it was none other than Charlie.
Chapter 227
“Punk, you’re tough, ain’t ya?” Charlie’s expression turned grim. He glared at Andrius fiercely and said, ” Listen to me right now. I’ll give you one chance. Bring that girl to me and hand over Riverfront Entertainment, or else…”
The smile was similar to the devil’s smile. Charlie peed his pants and stammered, “D–don’t come near me!”
As he staggered backward, he continued to threaten Andrius, “I am a Miller from the capital. If you touch me, you will be making an enemy out of the Millers! My father and my grandfather won’t forgive you!”

“Don’t worry.” Andrius dragged Charlie into the toilet and said with a smile, “I won’t kill you, but I want you to remember this.”
“What are you trying to do?” Charlie had a bad feeling about what Andrius was going to do to him. “Don’t… Gulp… Gulp… Gulp!”
Andrius shoved Charlie’s head into the toilet bowl.
“Okay, Ms. Crestfall. Please hold on.”
The teller took the card and swiped it on the machine.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The machine beeped sharply as a siren went off.
