Chapter 351
All kinds of comments flooded the comment sections.
“Now that you’ve mentioned it, it really seems so.”
“The Hanshus, the Hendersons, the Crestfalls, the Millers, Simon–Tooke, it happened to all of them.”
“I realized it as well.”
“It feels like the families and the companies are lining up to give New Moon Corporation money, eagerly and strangely.”
At first, the comments mostly sparked suspicion, but then as they slowly piled up, the comments started to turn harsh and targeting.
“I have a bold thought.”
“Everyone should know that the CEO of New Moon Corporation, Luna Crestfall, is a well- known beauty, right? Maybe…”
“The boss behind Celestial Enterprise must be into her. That’s why…”
“You’re right!”
“I agree!”
Luna’s expression turned bitter after she went through the comments.
Quite the opposite, she was not angry at the comments. It gave her a hint of the possibility of what this might become.
She blushed and started to feel hot.
She and Andrius were just playing pretend, and she had told Andrius that he could date. whomever he wanted.
And she… also had the right to fantasize.
Similar to what she imagined last night, if she could marry a powerful man, then the marriage would promise a bright future for New Moon Corporation.
As for the secret boss behind Celestial Enterprise, he was definitely someone powerful, someone so powerful that even the military governor must show him respect. Even if he was not the Wolf King, he must be someone with similar powers.
Since ancient times, great men had always loved beautiful women, and why wouldn’t a beautiful admire a great man in return?
Luna admired a powerful man.
The secret boss behind Celestial Enterprise must be an influential, powerful, and smart person for being able to easily deal with Dean Mitchell.
The man fit the image of a great man in Luna’s heart.
As the comments said, Celestial Enterprise helped New Moon Corporation multiple times, and it was already an obvious hint.
2/2
Luna saw a possibility that might really work. The secret boss might really admire an independent woman like her.
The more she thought about it, the more plausible it sounded.
Luna was deeply fascinated by this secret boss whom she had never met. She wanted to unveil his true identity and see who he really was.
Knock, knock!
Then, someone knocked on the door of her office and opened it.
It was her father, Harry.
“Luna, great news!” Harry was all smiles and delighted as he continued, “Your grandmother’s 70th birthday is in two days, and I just received news from them just now. They are inviting us to the capital to celebrate with them.”
Grandmother?
Luna was surprised.
Decades ago, Belarus and Idris had fought for the position of the heir, and Belarus was expelled to Sumeria.
Jade Conery, Luna’s mother, fell in love with Harry, but her family, the Conerys, refused to help the Crestfalls after they were expelled to Sumeria and they strongly objected to the wedding of Luna’s parents.
Despite the objections, Jade disregarded her family’s warnings and insisted on marrying Harry. Therefore, she had a fallout with her family after the wedding.
Jade never contacted her family after that, so when she died of sickness, the ties between the two families were completely severed.
Jade’s second brother, who was also Rainbow’s father, Bernard, kept in contact with Harry and
Luna.
The stale relationship saw a sudden change with the invitation from the Conerys, inviting Harry and Luna to celebrate the birthday of Jane, Luna’s grandmother.
It was a good sign.
Maybe Luna could use this opportunity to break the ice with her grandmother’s family and fix the broken relationship.
“That’s great!” Luna cried out in happiness.
“I will arrange my schedule here. We’ll leave tomorrow early in the morning.”
Even though her mother was no longer with her, she hoped that she could fix the broken relationship with her mother’s family, the Conerys. It would be great.
“But…” Harry frowned and explained, “They wanted you to bring Andrius along. God knows what they are trying to do.”
Chapter 352
Andrius?
Luna frowned.
Her heart was leaning towards the secret boss of Celestial Enterprise, so when she was forced
to look at Andrius again, she found nothing but dissatisfaction.
He was boastful, incompetent, lazy, and had no ambitions.
She never knew what her grandfather saw in Andrius.
“Fine.”
Luna did not want to waste any more time on Andrius. She shook her head to discard him out of her mind and agreed to bring him along.
“Andrius…” Harry was not in a good mood when he mentioned Andrius either. “That guy is rude, conceited, and full of himself. You’d better warn him not to cause any trouble before we leave.”
“I will.” Luna nodded in agreement.
Then, Harry left the office.
Luna called Andrius.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m… drinking with a friend.”
Drinking again?
Luna realized the guy seemed to be drinking most of the time when she called him.
She wanted to scold him, but since they were just playing pretend, there was no point for her to be angry. She suppressed her thoughts and informed him about the birthday celebration.
“Tomorrow is my grandmother’s seventieth birthday. We are going to the capital to join the celebration. You are coming as well.”
“Oh.”
Luna was rendered speechless by Andrius‘ brief reply. He was always nonchalant and frivolous. He never showed any concern when she talked to him about serious matters. He never cared about anything but did not have the capabilities to support his frivolous attitude.
Fortunately, whatever his attitude was did not matter because they were never going to have a future together.
Luna was fed up with his attitude. She hung up on him after that.
Meanwhile, at Noir’s garage, Andrius and Noir were drinking together happily.
“Andy, what did she say?” Noir heard Luna’s voice but had no idea what the call was about.
“Her grandmother is having a 70th birthday celebration at the capitol tomorrow. She wants me to tag along.”
“Her grandmother? The Conerys…”
Noir frowned. He worked many jobs under Andrius‘ command, and one of them was to investigate the Conerys.
Andrius noticed the pause. Bothered, he glanced at Noir and asked, “What is it? Something wrong with the Conerys?”
“It’s not that.” Noir explained, “I did some investigations on the Conerys. They are quite well- known in the capital. Luna’s grandmother, Jane Montecarlo, was a snob. She always looked down on Luna’s father, Harry.
“But… her daughter, Jade, married Harry in the end, which caused the fallout between the two families. Especially after Jade died of sickness, the two families never contacted each other anymore. They were like strangers.
“Only Rainbow’s father, Bernard, kept in contact with the Crestfalls, but were not too close either.”
Andrius did not know about the complicated relationship between the two families. He shook his head and finished another glass.
“I think…” Noir shook his head and smiled meaningfully, “The old lady knows that New Moon Corporation is doing well lately because they took down Simon–Tooke. That’s why…”
He did not continue, but Andrius knew exactly what he meant.
“When they are poor, no one cares; when they are doing well, people come to them like a flock of birds. It’s actually understandable. It seems like…” Andrius sighed and continued, “I have to prepare a big surprise for the event to make Luna look good.”
“Hahaha.”
“The Wolf King attending her birthday event is the biggest surprise that she could ever ask for. Unfortunately, the old lady will never know.”
The two of them continued drinking.
Before they could move on to the second pint, someone called. It was Sonia.
“Mr. Moonshade, do you remember Norman Houser? The old man we visited the other day? He’s here, begging us to save his granddaughter.”
Norman Houser was the father of a deceased soldier!
His son had died on the battlefield. Not only did he fail to get the compensation, but his son was also accused as a renegade.
Fortunately, Andrius intervened and made him a promise.
Chapter 353
“I’ll be there right away!”
Andrius lost the mood to continue drinking.
Noir bolted up as well. He grabbed the keys to a supercar and drove Andrius to Celestial. Enterprise.
Meanwhile, inside Sonia’s office, Norman paced around anxiously, looking worried. He looked older and more tired than before. Something must be bothering his mind. Beside him was another old woman who looked similarly tired. She was his wife, Mary Houser.
“S–Sir!”
As soon as Andrius walked in, the elderly couple knelt down immediately before him. “Sir, please help us! Save our granddaughter!”
“Save Snow! We can forfeit the million–dollar compensation, but please save her!”
Andrius gripped their arms immediately. “Mr. Houser, what happened? Calm down, and talk me through it. I’ll definitely help.”
Worried, Norman looked at Andrius and said, “Our granddaughter, Snow, has just completed her Master’s Degree and got a job, but…
“The assistant manager of the company is a monster! He’s almost 50, but he sexually harassed Snow!”
Norman was furious when he explained what happened to his granddaughter. His clenched fists were hiding under his sleeves. He gripped them so tightly that his veins were showing.
“The assistant manager tried to force Snow to become his mistress and gives her a hard time. at work. He always picks on her and confiscated her student ID and certificates, preventing her from quitting.
“Now, without her ID and certificates, even if she leaves, she has no credentials and won’t be able to find a job elsewhere. If she continues to stay, she will be working in a dangerous. environment and they are not paying her a salary.
“Snow tried to lodge a report, but that monster threatened her. He said he would come after us if she made the report…
Norman’s eyes teared up. “Snow is suffering from severe depression, and she tried to slit her wrist this morning to end this torment… Someone found her and sent her to the hospital. The doctor then called us. Only then did we know what happened.”
The man was already sobbing when he finished his explanation.
Mary, on the other hand, cried like a devastated parent who had lost her child.
“Please! Please save Snow!”
The elderly couple wanted to kneel again. “Our son is already gone. Snow is all that we have left. If she… if she…”
The two of them could no longer continue speaking properly as despair took over.
Andrius was furious.
The soldiers fought for the country on the battlefield, bleeding their last drop of blood to defend the nation, yet pricks relied on their social statuses to do whatever they want to others.
Such atrocity could not be tolerated.
“Mr. Houser, don’t worry.” Andrius suppressed the anger in his heart and consoled the man, I’ll intervene and help you deal with this problem. The compensation will also be transferred to your account as I promised.”
“Thank you! Thank you!”
“Thank you, good sir!”
The elderly couple bowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.
Andrius’s heart ached. His anger for the assistant manager rose to an unprecedented level.
”
Then, he told Noir to carry out the compensation before he headed to Centro Hospital with the elderly couple.
Snow had slit her wrist but was fine after some stitches. Due to the excessive loss of blood, she looked as pale as a sheet.
“Ms. Snow Houser, I have heard from your grandparents about what happened. I’ll make things right for you,” Andrius said.
“I…” Snow glanced at him and said timidly, “It’s fine. Assistant Manager Lucci is a powerful man. Neither of us can offend him. Thank you, but please leave.”
Snow’s expression turned bitter. She had accepted her fate.
Andrius knew she was worried about him getting into trouble, but as the Wolf King, if he could not even protect the family members of the soldiers who fought on the battlefield, he would disgrace his honorable title.
“Ms. Houser, you don’t have to worry,” Andrius consoled her. “That Assistant Manager Lucci might be someone, but I’m not afraid of him. Your grandfather should know better.”
Snow then looked at her grandfather worriedly.
Norman nodded at her. He did not know Andrius‘ real identity, but he had seen Sonia on TV and through her, he got to Andrius. He had a feeling that Andrius must be someone powerful
as well.
“Okay. Thank you.” Snow finally agreed to let Andrius help.
Sonia then sent the elderly couple back home.
Snow was discharged. She brought Andrius and Noir to Evergreen Inc. to look for Assistant Manager Lucci.
Chapter 354
The three of them arrived at the floor where Assistant Manager Lucci’s office was located at Evergreen Inc.
“Snow Houser?” The security guard held her back and stared at Andrius and Noir with a hostile gaze. “Why are you here with these two? Who are they?”
“We are here to see Assistant Manager Lucci,” Andrius said.
“Who are you? Do you think you can see Assistant Manager Lucci whenever you want?”
The security guard disdainfully retorted at him before he looked at Snow with a wicked grin.” Snow, if you don’t agree to Assistant Manager Lucci’s terms, then don’t even think about seeing him!”
He then pointed at Andrius and Noir, “And you two! Get the hell out of here! Stop…”
Whack!
Before he finished, Noir slapped him in the face, sending him flying and twirling in the air. White and red spewed out from his mouth as Noir knocked half of his teeth out with that slap. That was not the end of it though.
When the security guard landed, Noir strode up to him and stepped on his head, stomping it against the floor.
“Aaarggh!”
Excruciating cries echoed across the corridor.
“What the hell?”
“How dare you start a scene here? You must have a death wish!”
“Get him! Get that motherf*cker!”
“Piece of sh*t!”
The rest of the security guards were alarmed. They charged towards Noir furiously, ready to give him a lesson that he would not forget.
Unfortunately, they were merely security guards. Noir could deal with them with his eyes closed.
In less than ten seconds, all the security guards fell to the floor, grunting and sobbing in pain.
Bang!
Noir strode up to the office and kicked the door down.
Andrius and Snow went in.
Inside the office was a middle–aged man, looking fat and disgusting. His outrageous size almost crushed the chair that he was seating on. He was the assistant manager of Evergreen Inc., Hank Lucci.
“Snow? What’s the matter? Are you going to accept my offer?”
Chapter 25
When he looked up at the entrance, a hint of lust and greed flashed on his disgusting face as soon as he spotted Snow. He instinctively ignored Andrius and Noir.
Snow had goosebumps when she saw the man’s lewd gaze, but she mustered up enough courage and said, “Assistant Manager Lucci, I’m here to tender my resignation!”
“You’re resigning?” Hank grinned, revealing his yellowish and disgusting teeth. “We haven’t even had enough fun yet, and you are resigning”
He stood up from his chair and walked over to Snow. He was drooling as he walked, like a pig. looking at lunch.
“Come on, let us have a smooch…”
Whack!
Andrius could not tolerate his disgusting behavior when he tried to tease Snow. He slapped the disgusting pig in the face, sending the hundred–over–kilogram body flying away.
The pervert crashed onto the edge of his desk before he fell onto the floor.
“Aaargh! Ugh! I…”
The crash on the edge broke his back.
He glared at Andrius wickedly. He pointed at Andrius but before he could say any threatening word, Andrius beat him up.
Wham! Whack! Thump!
After multiple punches and kicks, Andrius finally stopped.
“What the f*ck?!”
Hank got up from the floor and glared at Andrius with a vengeful gaze. He roared, “Security, where is the security?! Get the hell in here and kill this f*cker!”
There was no answer.
Angry and nervous, Hank limped over to the entrance to have a look.
All the security guards outside his office were knocked out.
Andrius said coldly and emotionlessly, “Hand over Snow’s student ID and certificates. Process the resignation immediately or else… I don’t mind being more violent.”
Hank’s chubby cheek twitched as he looked at Andrius in reverence.

However, Hank refused to surrender after suffering a beating from Andrius.
He grunted and said coldly, “Punk, you’re good with your fists, but it’s useless! Here in the cruel harsh society, influence, and status are all I need to destroy you! I am with Master Knight, Sean Knight! You either kill me with your fists here, or Master Knight will destroy you!”
Master Knight? Sean Knight?
The guy who had chased Sonia a while back?
Andrius scoffed, “Your Master Knight is like a dog in front of me, and you are a dog’s dog. What gives you the courage to bark so loudly? I’ll give you the chance to call him here. We’ll see if he dares to speak to me in that manner.”
Hank was indeed Sean’s dog, but it could only be said by Sean himself!
Hank was furious when Andrius called him Sean’s dog. He called Sean immediately.
“Master Knight! Hank Lucci calling! I’m in my office here in Evergreen Inc., and there are two little pieces of sh*t that just beat me up! I said I’m with you, but they ignored me and called you a dog! One of them even said…”
Hank then glanced at Andrius and vilified the process, “He said even if you were here, you would kneel before him like a dog!”
“What?! How dare he… I’ll be right there! Give me ten minutes!”
Sean was furious on the other side of the phone. He could not do anything when Andrius looked down on him because Andrius was the Wolf King who commanded a million Lycantroops. He could not do anything to Sonia either because she was the Wolf King’s
Woman.
Now, some John Doe popped up from nowhere and disrespected him?
Did people really think of Sean Knight as a weak and useless man that everyone could take advantage of?
If he allowed this John Doe to walk away after disrespecting him, anyone else in Sumeria could do the same!
After the call, Hank grinned wickedly.
However, his face was already portly, and after Andrius slapped him, it swelled terribly and made him look even more disgusting.
“Punk, you have ten minutes left to talk sh*t!” Hank said viciously, “Ten minutes later, you will kneel like a dog to beg me to spare your life.”
Snow was terrified. She timidly tugged Andrius‘ sleeve, asking him to leave.
Noir noticed the little tug and smiled. “Ms. Houser, don’t worry. Even if God is here, he will have to give you back the ID and certs and process your resignation. A puny guy like Sean Knight won’t be able to do anything.”
Sean cried as he knelt down, pounding his head onto the floor repeatedly. He kowtowed more than a dozen times in just ten short seconds. His forehead was swollen but dared not stop.
She knew that Andrius must be a high–ranking officer in the army. Her late father was at soldier, a martyr who sacrificed for the country, and she was proud of him.
Chapter 359
“Huh?”
Lyra was startled like a frightened rabbit when her grandfather saw through her secret. She shook her head repeatedly and denied it, “No! No! Grandfather, stop this! Don’t simply guess my thoughts!”
Despite her denial, her face blushed.
Dr. Artemis was an experienced man, and he knew exactly what Lyra’s reaction meant.
He shook his head and sighed. “Life is short. It’s over before you realize it. You are young and beautiful, so why not take the leap of faith? Climb the mountain before you, chase your dream, and love someone. Don’t wait until you are old and weak like me. By then, all you can do is reminisce about the past and regret the decisions you did not make.”
Dr. Artemis was once a handsome young man. Now, he was old and weak and all he could do was look back and sighed endlessly.
