Chapter 232
“You’re right, Dad.”
Speaking of Andrius, Luna agreed with her father. She had seen Andrius defeat a group of men easily more than once. No one would doubt his strength.
“I’ll bring him along later.”
The Millers came with hostility. In addition to the previous encounter, the appointment later at night would be dangerous.
Bringing Andrius along as insurance would at least make sure that she would not be caught in danger in the possible conflict later.
With that, Luna headed to Team Five’s office.
Right before she stepped into the office, a man, who seemed to be an employee of the company, stopped
her.
“What are you doing? If you want to have a consultation with Dr. Moonshade, you will have to get a number and get in line.”
The man sized her up with slight displeasure.
Dr. Moonshade? Consultation? Get in line?
Luna’s beautiful face turned sour when she heard what the man said. She recalled that a while back, a group of people had surrounded Andrius, asking him to take their pulses and give them prescriptions.
Andrius must be causing problems again!
Did he really think he was a real doctor just because he cured her grandfather?
Luna was fuming. Upset, she looked at the man and asked, “Do you know who I am? Why are you stopping me? Get out of my way!”
The man’s name was Jack 9
Kent.
Due to the incident with the Hendersons and the Hanshus, many of the employees left. Luna would never rehire those who left, so the
company had to hire new employees or even fresh grads.
Jackson was a recent hire–a fresh grad, to be exact–and he had never seen Luna before.
Therefore, his ignorance fueled his confidence, and he said without any courtesy, “I don’t care who you are. If you want to have a consultation with Dr. Moonshade, you have to take a number and get in line. Or else, when Ms. Crestfall hears about this, Dr. Moonshade will be moody, and none of us will benefit from
this. You will be the cause of all this!”
Seeing the determination and confidence on Jackson’s face, Luna was intrigued.
Was Andrius this capable? Or else why would Jackson defend him to this extent?
She softened her tone and asked gently, “Tell me honestly, is Dr. Moonshade that good?”
“What kind of question is that?” Jackson was displeased with Luna’s question. “Girl, you can question my profession, but please do not question Dr. Moonshade’s medical skills. Since you asked, I’ll tell you a thing or two.”
Jackson immediately looked energized. “Do you know Frank from Team Five? He’s been having a problem with his kidney and erection for a long time, and with Dr. Moonshade’s prescription, he’s as

strong as a tiger now and he can go on for the entire night! Ridiculous, right?”
Luna blushed when she heard Jackson.
“Do you know Angel? She’s been having menstrual complications for a while now, and she looks like a corpse whenever she has her period. After taking Dr. Moonshade’s medicine, she… Uh… According to her, she has recovered.”
Jackson went on and on about Andrius‘ achievements.
“Team Two’s Larson… Team Three’s Manager Fuller… Team Four’s…”
Luna spotted the enthusiasm in Jackson’s eyes and tone, and it intrigued her.
A thought rose in her mind. Having menstruation complications was not a serious condition, but it was torturing. If she could cure it, it would be a relief as well.
“Ahem…” Luna cleared her throat and said softly, “Okay then, can you get me a queue number?”
Jackson noticed her softer attitude, so he also toned down and said, “That’s more like it. Here is your
number. Don’t lose it.”
Luna took the piece of paper that had the number “15” written on it. Jackson then shut the door on Luna, leaving her outside the office.

Luna sulked as she grumbled inwardly, “Andrius, if you can’t cure my menstrual issues, I’ll punish you!”
Half an hour later, just when Luna almost lost her patience, the door to Team Five’s office finally opened.
“No. 15…”
The one who opened the door was Fatty Frank. He shuddered when he saw Luna with the number, and he
almost fell on the floor.
“L–Luna? W–what are you doing here?”
Luna said with a straight face, “Cut the nonsense. Let me in.”
“Y–yes,” Fatty Frank stammered and brought her in.
Andrius did not expect to see Luna in his office. He was stunned and speechless for a while.
Luna pulled a chair over to Andrius, sat down in front of him, and said with a blank look, “I see Team Five is living quite the life here. Right, Dr. Moonshade?”
Andrius was not bothered, but Fatty Frank and the others were horrified, especially Jackson who had stopped Luna outside the door. He curled up in the corner and lowered his head, almost burying his face. in the carpet.
“L–Luna…” Fatty Frank stammered. He tried to explain, but Luna stopped him.
“Enough. You don’t need to explain.” Luna grunted and bellowed, “Why are all of you still standing here? Don’t need to work? Go back to your workstations now!”
The group scattered like frightened birds, escaping as fast as they could.
Luna looked around. When she ensured that there was no one else in the office, she put her hand in front of Andrius and said, “Andrius, take my pulse.”
Andrius was speechless.
Luna went through all that show just because she wanted him to take her pulse.
“You’re fine. It’s just a simple menstrual issue.” After taking her pulse, Andrius wrote a prescription for her. “Take the medicines listed here. Take them for two to three weeks, and you will be fine.”
“Mm–hmm.”
Luna rarely did not nag at him. She folded the prescription and pocketed it.
It was Andrius who got curious. “Why are you here?”
“The Millers invited me for a meeting tonight. I’m here to tell you to come along.” Luna clearly stated her intention.
“Okay,” Andrius nodded and agreed.
Luna then got up and wanted to leave.
A few steps later, she turned around and warned Andrius, “Do not tell anyone about what just happened here, or you will suffer the consequences. Got it?”
Andrius was rendered speechless again. He was not into gossip, so why would he tell anyone else about it?

After Luna left, Fatty Frank and the others came back to the office. They swarmed over to Andrius and fired him with a barrage of questions.
“Boss, did Luna say anything?”
“Boss, I’m sorry!”
“Boss, what’s going on? Is the consultation still gonna continue?”
The group was anxious and helpless, but they were also coiled in anticipation.
“We’re fine.” Andrius waved and said without being concerned, “Go do what you guys are supposed to do. Those who already took the numbers can come in.”
His words reassured them.
After a busy afternoon, Andrius finally finished seeing all his patients.
When it was time to clock out, he headed to the parking lot to wait for Luna.
Luna came after a while. She was alone. Athena was not following her.
Andrius asked, “Where’s Athena? I have something that I want her to deliver to her master.”
Luna briefly explained, “Tonight’s security duty will be handed over to a boxer that she recommended.”
“A boxer?”
Andrius raised a brow when he heard Luna.

As soon as Luna’s words subsided, a muscular figure appeared before the two of them.
The man was at least 190 cm tall. He wore a white singlet that showed off his muscles and broad shoulders. He was certainly eye–grabbing, especially his bushy chest hair which was intimidating to even
look at.
“Ms. Crestfall, I’m Panther Flint. You can just call me Panther,” he introduced himself briefly to Luna.
“I practice Muay Thai, and I once punched a tiger to death in the jungle. Five years ago, I defeated three veteran boxers in a row during the competition and won the Heavyweight Muay Thai Championship. I was given the title of ‘Killer Boxer“!”
Panther sounded proud as he listed his achievements. “With me around, Ms. Crestfall, you don’t have to
be scared at all.”
“I’m counting on you tonight.” Luna politely smiled and then said, “Now that we are all here, let’s go.”
She opened the door and got into the car; Andrius got in as well.
Panther looked at Andrius scornfully before he got into the rear seat. He was quite close to Athena, or else he would not have agreed to take her spot for the night.
When Athena reported for duty on her first day, Luna had been ambushed by Solomon, and Andrius had behaved like a coward.
Athena told Panther about this before, so Panther assumed Andrius was a weak coward who could not even protect his own woman. If he was not considered a coward, what was?
They soon arrived at the location which was a farm named “Happy Life” in the suburbs of Sumeria.
The name was a strange one. Luna did not even know how to comment on it as it felt like someone from the 70s named it. Andrius, however, found it appropriate since it was a farm in the suburbs.
“Ms. Crestfall, you’re here.”
son and Charlie were waiting for her at the entrance.
arson showed a strange smile when he saw Luna come out of the car.
Charlie, on the other hand, glared at the man behind Luna viciously as if he was looking at the killer who had murdered his parents.
Luna sensed the strange atmosphere. She asked Andrius softly, “Judging from his look, I assumed you’ve done something to him?”
“What could I have done to him?” Andrius smiled and said without being too concerned, “I didn’t do anything to him. I just taught him a lesson by shoving his head into the toilet bowl.”
-What the…
Luna rolled her eyes.
Andrius shoved the man’s head into the toilet bowl?
It was not just physically damaging; it was mentally insulting as well. No wonder Charlie looked at him. like a vengeful spirit.
Luna already knew that the meeting tonight would be dangerous, and after hearing what Andrius said, she was rendered speechless. Fortunately, she was prepared for the worst.

Everyone got seated at the table.
With Carson’s order, the servant served everyone a glass of wine. He held his glass and put it in front of Luna. He said straightforwardly, “Ms. Crestfall, we are all businessmen, so let’s just cut to the chase.”
“This is it…” Luna thought to herself.
“My family has had its eyes on Riverfront Entertainment for a long time, and we’ve prepared a lot for the acquisition, but you’ve taken it without notice. I don’t think that’s how things work.”
Carson stared at Luna with a pretentious smile.
Luna refused to back off. She stared into Carson’s eyes and grunted coldly. “Riverfront Entertainment is up for bid, so the highest bidder takes it home. I won it fair and square. What’s wrong with that?
“Fair and square!”
Carson laughed. For some reason, his laughter sounded malicious. “Ms. Crestfall, a piece of advice: Riverfront Entertainment is in a messy location, a gray area with complicated relations. Plus..
.”
Chapter 235
“The entertainment business is a complicated industry. Before this, the Hendersons were behind Riverfront Entertainment. That’s why those with malicious intent dared not cause a problem.
“Now… Forgive my frankness…” Carson’s eyes showed disdain as he continued, “Your family doesn’t have the power to annex or take over the other families, or the power to overthrow everything. You won’t hold
on to it.
“Why not hand Riverfront Entertainment over as soon as possible? I’m saying this for your own good.”
Carson made it sound like the right thing to do as if he was the savior trying to save Luna from falling into the abyss. However, he was trying to threaten or blackmail her into letting go of Riverfront Entertainment.
In other words, he was trying to be the hero and the villain at the same time.
Luna did not comment on his suggestion. She smiled and said, “I wouldn’t trouble you with that, Young Master Miller. I thank you for being considerate of my family, but we are confident and capable enough to ensure the company operates smoothly.”
As soon as her words subsided, Panther took a step forward.

Carson cackled. Then, he looked at the scrawny man, Lobo, you heard that? The guy said he might hurt you. Why don’t you show him what you’ve got?”
He sounded scornful, not towards Lobo, but at Panther.
Lobo quietly walked to a spacious area and cupped his fists together. A hint of wickedness flashed in his
eyes.
“Well then, let’s get on with it!”
Panther heard Carson’s disdain.
He up to Lobo with a punch.
Bang!
Thwap!
Thunk!
The two of them fought fiercely.
Panther threw strong punches and kicks at Lobo, but after a few rounds, he could not even land a finger
Chapter 235
on his opponent.
Lobo seized Panther’s opening and landed a kick on his chest, sending him flying back with blood gushing from his mouth.
After crashing on the floor, Panther tried to get up, but more blood gushed from his mouth. He could not get to his feet.
“Ms. Crestfall, you’ve lost.”
Carson grinned happily. “Now, like we promised, please hand Riverfront Entertainment over.”
Luna responded with a bitter look. She did not expect Panther to lose so quickly and thoroughly after how much he bragged about his past achievements.
“What’s wrong? Don’t want to accept defeat?” Carson looked at the silent Luna and switched to a more intimidating tone, “Ms. Crestfall, you are a public figure in Sumeria. You can’t even accept defeat…
“Who said we lost?”
Before Carson could finish, Andrius stopped him.
Andrius then looked at Lobo and frankly said, “I think your company isn’t that great either. This kind of scrawny guy? I can fight twenty of them off single–handedly.”
Like always, Andrius‘ words surprised Luna.
As soon as his words subsided, a hint of wickedness flashed in Lobo’s eyes.
Swoosh!
He strode forward and threw a roundhouse kick at Andrius.
Chapter 236
Chapter 236
Lobo was quick, but Andrius was quicker.
He got up calmly and stepped away from his location. He seemed leisurely and slow, but he moved in a specific pattern as if he had calculated the trajectory and time of the kick.
When he got up, Lobo’s kick landed.
The chair that Andrius was sitting on a moment ago was crushed into pieces. It showed how powerful Lobo’s kick was, but it was useless since it missed Andrius.
Lobo was furious.
Before Lobo could follow up with an attack, Andrius threw a kick from the side and precisely landed on Lobo’s knee, returning the favor on behalf of Panther.
Lobo fell on his knees with a thud and instinctively supported himself up by pressing his hands on the
floor.
Andrius then sat on his back.
The whole process seemed smooth and skilled. There was not one wasted movement, and it all felt so natural.
Andrius then ridiculed, “You broke my chair, but you kneel down in front of me. Let me use you as a chair.”
In just a few seconds, both his hands were badly injured and mushed.
“Aaaargh!” Lobo screamed excruciatingly. Sweat covered his forehead and his voice trembled. He seemed to be in a lot of pain.
Chapter 237
Andrius laughed scornfully. “Why should I run if you have this kind of trash as security? Which eye of yours saw me running away?”
His arrogant words infuriated both Carson and Lobo.
“Wait here until Master Jansky gets here, and I, Carson Miller, will never go after Riverfront Entertainment anymore. How’s that?”
He said, “Fine. I’ll wait. But remember what you said. Don’t go back on your words like some punk.”
Why would he react so strongly just because she requested him to save Andrius?
“Master…”
Athena stared at Mr. Walker and cautiously asked, “You are not joking when you said Andrius can kill you with one slap, are you?”
“Joking?” Mr. Walker was speechless. He said with annoyance, “Why would I joke with my own reputation? Nothing is going to happen to Andrius. Just wait and see.”
He stomped and stepped on Lobo’s already injured hand. “When is your stupid grandfather coming? You can’t just leave us hanging here.”
Chapter 238
Bang!
Bang!
After briefly tending to his wounds, the old and the young glared at Andrius viciously, so brutally that their gazes could kill Andrius a thousand times.
“Alright!” Ivan’s brief reply contained all the killing intent he had for Andrius.
Clank!
