Andrius rolled his eyes at the girl. He said, “You can take pictures of me, but keep them to yourself. Don’t simply go around and announce my identity.”
“Huh?” Rainbow froze for a few seconds before she stared at Andrius confusedly with her crystal–clear eyes.
“Why?”
“I don’t want other people finding out my identity.”
“Oh…”
Rainbow understood the importance of secrecy. After all, the Wolf King’s name was the only thing known about him; there was almost no other personal information circulating around
the world.
She could not just expose her cousin -in–law’s identity just because she wanted to brag. If she admired the Wolf King, she had to respect him.
“Aye, aye, sir!” Rainbow saluted Andrius as if she was a soldier and said, “I will not leak a single word about your identity to anyone. I will only keep the pictures to myself!”
Andrius laughed. She sure was an interesting one.
After giving her affirmation, Rainbow thought of something and continued to ask, “Andrius, does… Luna know about this?”
“She doesn’t,” Andrius answered. “We are just… pretending, and it will be over in a few months. It is not necessary to tell her about my identity.”
“Is that so…” })
Rainbow’s heart raced when she got the answer. Her eyes flickered and asked, “Andrius, when you divorce Luna, let’s go out together! Let’s date!”
Andrius was rendered speechless again.
First, there was Halle, then Athena, and now Rainbow?
Rainbow was the third female who wanted to be with him after his little farce with Luna was
over. He never knew that he was such an attractive man.
“No thanks.” Andrius had no interest in dating. He came up with a lame excuse and rejected the girl, “You are too small. You’re not suitable.”
“Which part of me is small?” Rainbow jumped and lifted her chest when she spoke, showing off her ample chest to Andrius to prove him wrong.
“Besides…” She added, “I’m kind, I’m beautiful, and I know how to take care of people. I’m understanding and I admire you!
“If we get married in the future, I will cook for you, do your laundry, and treat you like a king. We can also have eight to ten babies!”
Rainbow was being carried away by her fantasy. She rubbed her hands eagerly and started to fantasize even more about the future.
“Hold up! Stop!” Antritis rolled his eyes again. He warned her, “I’m still your cousin -in–law. If you keep being like this, I’ll tell Lama about it.”
“Huh? No! Please don’t!” Rainbow admired Andrius a lot but she was still afraid of Luna. She had no plans to compete with Luna for Andrius.
“Alright. I’ll zip my mouth shut.” Rainbow lost, but her eyes gleamed cunningly. She then asked, “Then, can you promise me one thing?”
“What is it?”
“Can I call you Andy as well?”
Rainbow had her own plans for the future. If she got used to calling him her cousin–in–law, it would be strange in the future.
If she called him Andy now, when he divorced Luna, she would have an advantage and she would have no concerns about going after him.
“Uh…” Andrius had no idea what the girl was thinking. It was all the same to him, so he said, Fine.”
“Alright, Andy!”
Rainbow hopped around delightfully.
“Okay, okay. Go back to work. I’ll leave you to it.”
Andrius was afraid that Rainbow would continue to surprise him with terms that he did not know existed, so it would be best to leave as soon as possible. He then walked away hurriedly.
“Hmph.” Rainbow watched as Andrius strode away. She softly grunted and rubbed her hands. ” Andy, I will make you mine after you divorce Luna!”
Chapter 313
Having the Wolf King as a boyfriend was probably the coolest thing!
After Andrius came out of the building, he scanned one of the rental electric bikes and headed to Noir’s place.
“Andy, here. I have two pints ready.”
Noir prepared the beer as soon as he arrived.
A while later, Noir’s phone buzzed. He had a glance and said, “Andy, Simon–Tooke’s chairman, Dean Mitchell, is here in Sumeria. He’s probably here about what happened the other day,
“He knows that Celestial Enterprise had military support, yet he still set foot in the city. I think there’s more than meets the eye.”
Andrius was not concerned. He had a gulp of beer and sighed satisfyingly before he said, Whatever comes our way, we will deal with it. I don’t care how persistent or vengeful he is, as long as he’s here to give us money, there’s no point in not accepting it.”
Noir giggled mischievously. In the past, he enjoyed killing their enemies back in the Western Frontline.
However, now that he had moved into the city with the Wolf King, he could not simply kill anymore. Fortunately, extorting people’s money was interesting, especially when there was a line waiting to deliver money to them.
It was an intoxicating feeling.
Meanwhile, at the airport, Mr. Longman, his secretary, a bunch of Simon–Tooke’s executives plus a dozen muscular bodyguards, were waiting outside the arrival gate.
A few minutes later, Dean came out.
“Mr. Chairman!”
Mr. Longman and the other executives bowed instantly, creating quite a grand scene at the airport.
Dean nodded at them before he walked out of the airport; the group followed him out. He was surrounded by his men when he stepped out as if he was the center of everything.
“Mr. Chairman.” Mr. Longman stayed a person’s length behind him as he said, “What are we going to do about Celestial Enterprise next?”
“Celestial Enterprise…”
Dean stopped walking. He squinted and scoffed, “Since I’m already here, their days are numbered. I will hold a birthday celebration in Sumeria this year. My godson, Cloud Forger, will be transferred here as well. We will then invite the mayor, Marcus Freely, and the military governor, Severus Sano. Maybe…”
His eyes gleamed all of a sudden. “Maybe the Wolf King will attend as well.”
“The Wolf King?!”
1
Mr. Longman was astonished. He might not be a local, but he had heard of the Wolf King before.
All living beings in Florence, regardless of race and species, knew the Wolf King.
Dean chuckled when he saw the reaction on Mr. Longman’s face.
“If the Wolf King shows up, the tiny Celestial Enterprise won’t be able to do much. Let them have their way for now.
“During the birthday celebration, the Wolf King and the military governor will be more than enough to overpower Celestial Enterprise. They will have no choice but to spit out whatever they’ve swallowed.”
Mr. Longman agreed with flattery, “You’re right.”
“With the Wolf King here, there won’t be any problem!”
“The more arrogant Celestial Enterprise is now, the more dire their fate will be in the end.” “Mr. Chairman, it’s because of you, Simon–Tooke remained strong for so many years, or else we wouldn’t be here today.”
Dean was not interested in the men’s flattery. He waved and simply said, “Enough. Stop the flattery. Before we go after Celestial Enterprise, we have to take down New Moon Corporation first.”
His eyes gleamed coldly.
“The puny New Moon Corporation is nothing. How dare they stand against Simon – Tooke?! We will make an example out of them! We will let the entire city know that it is a grave mistake to defy Simon–Tooke!”
Chapter 314
On the next day, due to excessive drinking last night, Andrius woke up a little later than usual. He went to work, but when he walked into Team Five’s office, he spotted a sour look on everyone’s faces.
“What’s wrong? Where’s Fatty Frank?” Andrius simply asked, wondering what could have made them sulk
“He’s in the meeting room. Team Five is doomed now!” Angel sighed and said sadly, “This morning, Simon–Tooke launched a fell–fledged sanction on our company.
“Our clients and suppliers who got the news bailed on us when they got the news. All the executives believed it was Team Five’s fault for beating Mr. Longman up the other day. That’s why he must have done this to get back to us. They are coming for the company, and…”
A hint of anger flashed on Angel’s expression.
Andrius asked with furrowed brows, “And what?”
“And the executives want all of us in Team Five to apologize to Simon–Tooke in person.” Angel clenched her teeth and said, “If we can’t get Mr. Longman to forgive us, Simon–Tooke won’t lift the sanction and Team Five will be dissolved.”
Andrius laughed helplessly.
Executives?
They were like cowards in front of Simon–Tooke, but they showed no mercy to their own people within the company. They were really a bunch of double–standard, useless cowards!
If they were any use, they should stand up against Simon–Tooke bravely.
A bunch of donkeys!
“Don’t panic.” Andrius then looked at the others in Team Five and said, “I’ll go to the meeting room now. I want to see which executive has the nerve to dissolve us.”
Andrius then strode out of the office and headed to the meeting room.
When he walked in, he saw Fatty Frank.
Fatty Frank looked down with a gloomy expression. He must have received a lot of scolding from the executives.
“Andrius Moonshade?”
“Don’t you know how to knock before you come in? Who gave you permission to come in?”
“This meeting is only for the executives of the company. Who do you think you are to barge in unannounced? Where are your manners?”
“Yeah, where are your manners?”
The executives fired their criticism at Andrius as soon as he walked in. They knew that Andrius was the one who hit Mr. Longman, and seeing his face infuriated them.
“Manners?” Andrius glanced at everyone present at the table. He taunted, “Simon–Tooke is
Chapte 14
coming after our company. Instead of coming up with an effective solution, you people decided to put the blame on a single person. Where are your manners?
212
“Where’s your spine? Where are your balls? Can’t you all stand up against them confidently? I am embarrassed to work in the same company as you pieces of trash.”
The executives were stunned. Their faces flushed, but they failed to come up with any
argument.
Luna was also at the table, but most of the executives sided with the company and Team Five did beat Mr. Longman up, so she was in no position to intervene.
“Andrius Moonshade, your words are groundless. Everyone knows how to brag.” The one who spoke was the general manager of the company, Harman Ginger.
He glared at Andrius sharply and said with disgust, “If you have the balls to hit Mr. Longman, now that he’s coming after us, shouldn’t you shoulder the responsibility and go ask him to spare us? If you can’t get his forgiveness, you will be fired!”
The other executives adhered to his words and echoed strongly.
“Yeah. If you are that capable, solve the problem that you caused!”
“You started this. You should bear the responsibility. Go apologize!”
“You are really a talker. If you have what it takes, settle the problem with Mr. Longman.”
“Andrius…”
The executives were carried away by their criticism of Andrius.
“Stop barking like dogs here.” Andrius narrowed his eyes and a cold gleam flashed. He said coldly, “This is not as serious as you people think.”
Chapter 315
“If we can get an investment from Celestial Enterprise, New Moon Corporation’s cash flow will be able to be self–sustainable, and it will also help the company to expand further.”
It was Andrius‘ original plan
Through a collaboration between the two companies, he would share a portion of the assets he got from the Millers and the Crestfalls with New Moon Corporation.
“How naive!”
“Cheap!”
“You’re dreaming!”
“Are you out of your mind?”
As soon as Andrius‘ words subsided, all the executives teased and mocked him.
Harman looked at Andrius with contempt, as if he were an idiot. “Do you think Celestial Enterprise is a charity? Why would they share with us what they have already gained? Do you really think that you own Celestial Enterprise? That you can do whatever you want?”
He was right.
Andrius grinned. He looked at the executives with a ridiculing gaze and said, “If I can get the investment, what are you guys going to do about it?”
“Impossible!”
“There’s no way.”
The contempt on Harman’s face remained as he spoke loudly and confidently, “If you can get an investment from Celestial Enterprise, then I shall give up half a year of iny salary!”
“Great.” Andrius said decisively, “If Team Five gets this done, all the executives will lose half a year of salary and all of you cannot talk about dissolving Team Five anymore.”
Harman scoffed at his claims. He then looked at the other executives.
Everyone agreed.
“Fine. If you can‘ et the investment…” Harman’s expression turned grim and his tone grew colder, saying, “Team Five will be history, and you will have to settle the problem with Mr. Longmar
until midnight today!”
With just a single pho.. call, Andrius could settle the matter. He had plenty of time until midnight.
“Deal.”
The meeting finally ended.
Andrius and Fatty Frank wanted to leave, but Luna held them back.
With a grim look, she said, “You two, my office. Now.”
When they walked into Luna’s office, she closed the door and started berating Andrius.
“Andes, can you not be so reckless? We could’ve still turned things around at first, but now, after what you said to the executives, if you can’t get the investment, not even I can save you. I’ve told you many times to change your bad habit of bragging. When are you going to stop
Luna’s delicate face looked frosty as she was fumming. She then looked at Fatty Frank angrily. ” You! 1 lmnew Andrius hit Mr. Longman, but you… Why did you bring your men to join the fight? You are asking for trouble!”
Fatty Frank looked down, afraid to answer the question.
Andrius had gotten used to her scolding, so it did not bother him. He said, “Team Five will secure the investment from Celestial Enterprise.”
Again and again, Luna’s patience wore thin. She took a deep breath but did not continue to yell at the two of them.
“Eine. All you can do is give it a shot. I wish you two the best,” Luna said in a tired tone.
“Go! Right now, it’s getting late!”
“Alright!”
The two of them left the office.

Chapter 316
Andrius brought Fatty Frank to an eatery beside the road.
Beer was served on the table, and they started an early grilled meat session.
Andrius gobbled up the food, but Fatty Frank was not in the mood.
“Go on, have some.” Andrius put a piece of innards on his plate. “I thought your kidneys are weak. This grilled kidney here is the bomb. You are what you eat, so it’s definitely going to strengthen your kidneys.”
“I…” Fatty Frank put the pig kidney aside and said helplessly, “Boss, how do you have the appetite to eat now? If we don’t get the investment, Team Five is doomed! Even though the salary is nothing to me, I don’t want to drag every one of our comrades down. I feel bad. I don’t feel like eating.”
“I’ve heard about New Moon Corporation’s situation.” Before Fatty Frank could explain, Sonia emotionally said, “Simon–Tooke is a foreign company, and they have been suppressing the local companies for a long time. I’ve never liked them.
A quick thought later, Sonia continued, “On behalf of Celestial Enterprise, I’d like to invest a billion into New Moon Corporation. It’s for your company to overcome this crisis.”
200 to 300 million worth of investment was more than enough, and he could complete his
“Thank you, Ms. Timberland!”
“I don’t think so.”
“In just one day, those two little b*stards want to get an investment. It’s impossible.”
“Ms. Crestfall, let’s not waste time here.” Harman ridiculed, “I think you should call Andrius and tell him to come back. Don’t embarrass himself at Celestial Enterprise. He should be
“The priority now is to deal with the sanction from Simon–Tooke.”
Fatty Frank looked delighted after he silenced the executives.
It was then that Danni, Luna’s secretary, came in. “The secretary of Celestial Enterprise’s CEO is here.”
Luna finally knew what happened. It was because of Rainbow that Celestial Enterprise invested a billion into New Moon Corporation. It was nepotism! It made sense and sounded reasonable. As she regained her composure, Luna asked, “What are you doing here?”
