Chapter 381
Whoosh…
When Dax’s voice reverberated, all the officials in the room instantly got up.
The fight between the Southern Warzone Master and the Wolf King would shake the earth!
The officials had to stay far away lest they get caught up in the crossfire.
Before Dax even finished speaking, he suddenly moved into an attacking stance. His eyes stared at Andrius with a deadly gaze.
“Rainbow, stand back.” Andrius leisurely brought the last piece of meat into his mouth, then casually stood up and looked at Dax.
Rainbow had already turned pale. Her whole body was tense.
It was true that Andrius was the Wolf King…
However, Dax was the Southern Warzone Master, and he had many generals behind him, all of whom were pillars of the southern region!
This would not be easy for Andrius.
Swoosh…
When Rainbow stepped back, Andrius suddenly struck the handle of the fork on the table with his forefinger. The fork flew in the air, and after rotating several times, landed firmly in Andrius‘ hand.
“Come on.”
As he spoke, he threw the fork at Dax. Since he was attacking, it had to be swift and decisive. He could
not hold back.
Whoosh…
Although it was just an ordinary fork, since it was the Wolf King throwing it, no one dared to
underestimate his skill.
Dax saw this and immediately pulled out a dagger from his waist.
The dagger glinted as soon as it was drawn. The flashing light on it caused a chill to go down the others spines. It was clear that it was not an ordinary dagger.
Whoosh!
The fork shot out and arrived in front of Dax in the blink of an eye.
Without thinking, Dax sliced the fork with the dagger on the spot. With a crack, the fork was split in two and flew in separate directions.
However, that was just the beginning.
When Dax was dealing with the fork, Andrius had already shortened the gap to reach Dax. He raised his hand for a punch without any hesitation.
Dax had to hastily lift his other hand to block Andrius‘ menacing punch.
Bam!
Dax felt his entire arm go numb from the unstoppable force. Even simple movements became extremely

difficult. He could not help but be horrified.
Andrius really was the Wolf King.
That speed…
That strength…
It was leagues above him.
However…
That was neither a reason for him to back down nor would he allow himself to retreat.
Andrius killed George on the spot and injured Amadeus in front of so many people. If Dax did not demand an explanation for it, then he would lose all his prestige as the Southern Warzone Master!
Swoosh!
Without thinking, Dax raised his hand and stabbed the dagger toward Andrius‘ neck. The angle of attack was very sharp and fast.
However, at that moment, Andrius suddenly turned around. His hands grabbed onto the two halves of the fork that had just flown to both sides.
With a clink, he sent the dagger in Dax’s hand flying.
The other half, held in Andrius‘ right hand, aimed for Dax’s neck.
“You lose.” Andrius‘ voice was very light without any emotional changes. It was clear that this was just scratching the surface of his strength.
“H-…”
Dax felt the fork gently pressed against his neck. He suddenly broke out in cold sweat as his throat went dry.
Despair and a great sense of powerlessness also instantly assaulted him. He knew that the Wolf King was strong, so he had mentally prepared himself for it.
However, the Wolf King was not just plain strong. He was outrageously powerful to the point where it was
absurd!
He only used three moves to defeat Dax.
If this was a life–and–death battle…
Then, Dax would already be a corpse lying on the ground.
He was not the only one. Drogo, Tiger, and the others were all sweating. Their hearts were full of fear as they looked at Andrius‘ unassuming face.
The Wolf King.
He was invincible!
hapter 382
He was too strong.
At that moment, even Rainbow had her eyes and mouth wide open. It was clear that she was shocked by Andrius‘ strength. She was in a daze for a long time.
Dax was the Southern Warzone Master!
However, he was defeated by Andrius in just three moves…
Was it because he was weak?
No!
It was Andy who was simply invincible.
“Let’s go.”
Andrius patted Rainbow’s shoulder, snapping her out of her reverie.
Then, the two left the room in tandem.
In the room, no one spoke. They did not expect such an ending.
Dax looked at Andrius‘ back, unable to calm down.
It was only until Andrius‘ figure completely disappeared that he opened his mouth with difficulty. “Send Amadeus to the hospital.”
His tone was filled with desolation and dejection. The battle today dealt a heavy blow to the Southern
Warzone Master.
The other high–ranking officials remained silent.
“Andy, you’re so cool!”
On the road, after leaving the hotel, Rainbow turned her body to look at Andrius. Her eyes were filled with joy and admiration as she gushed in great excitement.
Swoosh! Flutter!
Rainbow danced around and imitated Andrius‘ movements, saying excitedly. “You took the Southern Warzone Master down with just a few moves…
“You’re amazing!”
A stunning radiance shone in Rainbow’s eyes.
Andrius chuckled and said, “Do you think the Wolf King’s name is just for show?”
“Of course not!” Rainbow swallowed her saliva, cleared her throat, and said earnestly to Andrius, “Andy, I really like you! When you divorce Luna, you must tell me right away. I want to have your babies. I want to give you a football team…”
What a fervent declaration.
Andrius could not help but roll his eyes. “Be rational, Rainbow.”
“Rational?” Rainbow huffed, “How am I supposed to be rational when the renowned and unrivaled Wolf King is right beside me? I can see you, but i can’t have you. How can I be rational? it’s settled! When you and Luna…”
Andrius saw Rainbow getting increasingly excited and interrupted her with an ultimatum. “Rainbow, if you keep saying that, I’ll report you to Luna.”
Rainbow immediately fell silent.
She looked at Andrius speechlessly and said coquettishly, “You stinky man. You always bully me.”
She sighed. “My life is so hard!”
Stinky man?
That was totally untrue!
Luna had checked Andrius‘ clothes before he left. How could he smell stinky?
He raised his cuff and sniffed it. It was very fresh. He was suddenly confused. “I don’t stink. I don’t stink
at all!”
“You-!” Rainbow became even more speechless. “You have no sense of humor at all!”
After saying that, she turned her back to Andrius, opened the passenger door of the Mercedes–Benz, and sat inside.
Andrius became even more puzzled but did not bother with her. He drove.
There was silence the whole way.
After a while, the Mercedes–Benz slowly entered Kavo Estate. The Conerys had already finished eating when the two returned to the hall.
“Andrius!” Luna frowned and asked, “I told you to pick Rainbow up. What took you so long? We’re already done eating! Don’t tell me that you were stuck in traffic. It’s been hours.”
Andrius was about to casually make up an excuse.
However, Rainbow could not hold back and blurted out, “Don’t blame him, Luna. We ran into the governor along the way and had dinner with him. That’s why we came back late.”
Chapter 383
The governor?
That word stunned everyone present.
Even Luna shot a few more glances at Andrius.
Jane could not help but ask, “Rainbow, are you telling the truth? You had dinner with the governor?”
“Of course, it’s true!” Rainbow counted on her fingers. “It wasn’t just the governor. There was also…”
Just as she was about to mention the Four Great War Gods and the Warzone Master, Dax, to show off, she suddenly felt a cold aura.
She looked up to find Andrius staring at her.
Rainbow quickly closed her mouth.
“There was also?” Jane was curious and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
“There was also…” Rainbow had no choice but to say, “The governor’s secretary, driver, and so on…”
“Oh…” Jane finally calmed down but was still shocked.
The governor…
He was the leader of the East River State! When he spoke, the entire East River State would tremble.
However, Andrius ate at the same table as him.
Jane could not help but ask, “Andrius, do you know the governor?”
Everyone in the Conerys looked at Andrius, including Luna. They were all waiting for his answer.
“Yeah, I know him.” Andrius nodded and casually made up a story. “When the governor went to the impoverished mountainous areas in the western region to provide aid, his car couldn’t drive on the muddy roads. I drove him around in a tractor for some time.
“This time, the governor heard that I was in the capital, so he invited me to have a meal and inquired about the development of my hometown.”
That was what he said.
Rainbow wanted to laugh, but she managed to hold it in.
On the other hand, Jane and the others believed his words and were all fooled by him. They all let out a breath for some reason. The anticipation and excitement on their faces gradually faded.
What a shame.
If Andrius really had a relationship with the governor, the Conerys would be able to revive in a matter of
minutes.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
However, this matter continued to be on everyone’s lipa.
“Andrius.” Luna called out to Andrius and said while walking outside, “Accompany me to the night market.
“I heard that the capital is most beautiful at 9 p.m. with neon lights flickering, the lights from thousands of households, and the moon by the river…”
“You can also go buy some gifts. Wrap them up properly and give them to Grandma on her birthday.”
Andrius had no objections.
Treasure Avenue was where medicinal ingredients were sold in the capital.
The two of them went directly to one of the largest and most magnificent shops.
“What would you like to buy, Miss?” A beautiful attendant immediately came up to serve them.
“I want to buy ginseng. It’s best if it’s wild ginseng that is a bit aged,” Luna stated her requirements.
“Please follow me.” The attendant swiftly took Luna to a counter and introduced, “Miss, these are fresh wild ginseng. They’re at least ten years old.”
Luna glanced over and frowned slightly.
These ginseng…
Their stalks were few, and they were shriveled. It was obvious that they were not aged. They did not look very appealing.
Luna then asked, “Are there any higher quality ginseng?”
“Of course!”
The attendant opened a cabinet and took out a mahogany brocade box from inside. She opened the box to reveal a ginseng with three long roots lying inside.
However, Luna only took one look at it and shook her head in disappointment.
New Moon Corporation had stepped into the pharmaceutical industry, so Luna naturally had some knowledge about ginseng. She could tell the quality of ginseng.
These ginseng did not meet her expectations.
“Do you have any higher quality ones?” Luna asked again.
“Miss…”
The attendant became a little annoyed when Luna kept asking the same question after merely glancing at the ginseng that she brought up. She asked, “We have many ginsengs, but none of them catches your eye. Are you just here to cause trouble?”
Luna quickly explained, “I just want to choose the best ginseng for my grandmother, hence my higher requirements.”
The best ginseng!
The attendant’s eyes lit up, and she said to Luna, “Miss, to tell you the truth, our shop does have top–grade wild ginseng, but it’s on the third floor. Please follow me.”
After reaching the third floor, the attendant opened a safe and took out a box. The box was beautifully packaged with red silk and golden threads, making it seem very luxurious.
Luna revealed a pleased expression upon seeing it.
The attendant noticed Luna’s reaction and smiled faintly. Then, she carefully opened the box and said, Miss, I won’t keep the box open too long in order to prevent the loss of spiritual energy. Please examine it carefully later.”
Luna felt even more excited by how serious the attendant was acting. She nodded and said, “Okay.”
“Take a good look.”
The attendant put on a pair of gloves and opened the box.
Inside lay a large wild ginseng. It was plump in appearance, had well–developed roots, and a fragrance that filled the air. It instantly captured Luna’s heart.
“Miss…” The attendant boasted, “This is 30–year–old wild ginseng. It was discovered by our store’s treasure–hunting team after combing the mountains for over 60 days. Its value is immeasurable. It’s top- notch whether it’s used as a gift or for nourishing the body.”
Luna could not tear her eyes away from the ginseng. When she heard the attendant’s words, her excitement grew even stronger. She was immediately tempted and asked, “How much is this ginseng?”
The attendant held up five fingers.
“5-500,000?”
“No.” The attendant shook her head and said seriously, “Five million.”
A single ginseng for five million!
Luna could not help but be astonished.
However, five million was still affordable for her now. Furthermore, as long as she could repair her relationship with her grandmother’s family, it was worth paying the five million.
Luna weighed the pros and cons, gritted her teeth, and took out her bank card.
“Wait!” Andrius stopped her. When she looked at him in confusion, he said calmly. “This ginseng is fake.
Don’t be deceived.”
It was fake!
Luna was stunned.
The attendant instantly became furious.
“Mister…” Her expression immediately fell, and she asked sternly, “Our store has never offended you before. Why do you want to slander us?”
“Slander?” Andrius suddenly laughed and said casually, “It’s very simple to appraise ginseng. In summary, by counting the stem scars from the root neck, the skin should be taut, and the roots should be fibrous.
“Look at that ginseng.” Andrius pointed to the ginseng inside the mahogany box and said disdainfully,” Which part matches the standard?
“Do you think that you can pass it off as genuine by packing it in a mahogany box? I can’t be bothered to waste my breath on you.”
Luna examined the ginseng according to Andrius‘ words.
It was true.
None of the points matched.
She could not help but get furious and said, “I can’t believe a large store like you actually sells fake goods to swindle money. You’ve really opened my eyes.
“Andrius, let’s go.”
After speaking, she went downstairs with Andrius.
When the attendant saw this, a sinister light flashed in her eyes, and she immediately used her walkie- talkie to inform her boss about everything.
Whoosh.
When Andrius and Luna reached the entrance, a group of people blocked their way. Each one of these people was burly and strong.
The man in the lead had a pot belly. He was the store manager, Darren MacNeil.
“Kid, I heard you saw the wild king ginseng on the third floor just now.” Darren stood in front of Andrius and gave him a fake smile.
“wild king ginseng?” Andrius was amused and sneered. “Not even a dog would want to chew on that. How can you call it a wild king ginseng?”
Darren narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “I don’t know if a dog would want to chew that, but what I know is… Since you saw the wild king ginseng, don’t even think about leaving my shop unless you buy it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the burly men behind him took big steps forward. They crossed their arms and stared coldly at Andrius.
“So…” Andrius glanced at the men and said calmly, “Are you planning to force me to buy it?”
“You can say that.” Darren shrugged with a smile.
Andrius‘ eyes narrowed.
However, Luna was worried that things would escalate and would not end well. She tugged on Andrius‘
arm and said, “Why don’t we just…”
Before she could finish, Andrius already rushed out in one swift step.
Bam!
With a single punch, he sent the man in the middle flying. He slammed heavily into the door frame and crashed into the ground, unable to get up.
“What
“What the hell?!” Darren was instantly furious and yelled, “Get him!”
After saying that, he retreated behind the others and took out his phone to call the police. He had done this many times before.
Every year, Darren would give a considerable amount of money to the police officers in the area. Thus, they formed an alliance to swindle people and earned a lot of money.
Bam!
Smack!
Crash!
The large men charged at Andrius, but they were no match for him.
In less than half a minute, they were all knocked down and unable to get up. They could only let out groans of pain.
The surrounding medicine cabinets also suffered damage during the process. Many cabinets were shattered by the men sent flying, and the herbs were scattered all over the floor.
“Let’s go.” Andrius nodded to Luna and walked out first.
“Go?” Darren sneered. “Do you think you can just leave?”
Wee–woo, wee–woo…
Just then, a piercing siren rang outside.
Several patrol cars stopped at the entrance, and more than a dozen fully–armed policemen surrounded
Andrius and Luna in an instant.
“Freeze!”
“Kid, put your hands up on your head!”
Chapter 386
“Weren’t you quite arrogant earlier?” Darren mocked, “What… Are you afraid now? Are you begging for mercy now?”
Luna was angry and frustrated. However, due to the circumstances, she could only swallow her anger.
Darren did not intend to lecture her and was just taunting her.
Then, he sneered and said, “When you make a mistake, you naturally have to pay for it. We can talk about it if you want me to let him go.”
“What do you want?”
“Wait, I’m not done yet.” Darren grinned and said, “Also, your man beat up my 23 subordinates. Each person will need a million as medical compensation. That’s not too much, right? In total… I won’t ask for more. I just want 50 million.”
That was beyond excessive.
“I’m not negotiating with you.” Darren was sure that Luna would agree. He sneered and said, “I’m just informing you, and this is my final offer. I won’t say it a second time.
“If I haven’t received the money before noon tomorrow, then you can prepare to collect his corpse!”
After he said that, he left while smoking his cigarette.
50 million!
All of New Moon Corporation’s money had been invested in the pharmaceutical industry. Where was she supposed to find 50 million out of nowhere?
Luna walked out of the shop, feeling dispirited. She did not have feelings for Andrius and was considering divorcing him,
However, she distinguished her gratitude and grudges clearly. Andrius was arrested because of her, so she could not turn a blind eye.
Thus, she had to go back and find a way to get the money.
At the police station, Andrius was locked up in a detention room.
“Speak!” The interrogator shouted coldly. “What illegal things have you done?”
Andrius ignored him. He reclined on the chair with his legs propped on the table and had a military district -supplied–cigarette in his mouth. He appeared quite relaxed as if this was his home turf..
“Damn it. What kind of cigarette is that? It’s so pungent.
Tucker could not help but step forward, wanting to put out the cigarette in Andrius‘ mouth.
However, Andrius simply tilted his head back, making Tucker miss.
This infuriated Tucker. He narrowed his eyes and scolded, “Kid, this is a police station. It’s not somewhere you can do whatever you want! Don’t act so cocky, or you’ll get a beating!”
Andrius was completely calm. He took a large drag, blew the smoke onto Tucker’s face, and said nonchalantly, “Put the beating aside for now. I want to make a phone call. There’s no problem with that, right?”
On the other end of the phone, Dax was instantly speechless.
“I’ll fly back to the Southern Warzone HQ now. You can deal with it as you see fit…”
After saying that, Dax could not help but mutter to himself, ‘You weren’t this polite when you killed George and injured Amadeus.‘
“I’ll give you ten minutes.” Andrius raised his brows and said calmly, “If you don’t arrive within ten minutes, a missile targeting Southern Warzone HQ will soon be at your doorstep
hapter 387
“Andrius Moonshade, you’re going too far!”
After hanging up the phone, Dax let out a thunderous roar that shook the heavens. Then, he slammed the receiver down heavily, distorting it beyond recognition.
All the personnel accompanying him were stunned. They did not know why the Southern Warzone Master, who was usually all–powerful, would be so furious.
“We have to get there as quickly as possible! I want to see what kind of idiot offended that Grim Reaper!”
Dax was furious. If he could not solve the problem, then he would deal with the person who caused the problem. He might not be able to touch an extraordinary giant like Andrius, but he could easily take down a measly police department!
“Joke, my *ss!” Dax turned his head to look at the deputy and spat out a mouthful of saliva. “The people on the western side of the border are all lunatics! If they say they’ll commit arson or murder, then they will!
“If they say they’ll kill someone, they will! If he says the missile will arrive in ten minutes, then it’ll happen!
“They’re arrogant and unbridled! Do you think that Andrius Moonshade is joking?”
The deputy officer trembled and did not dare to speak anymore. He immediately went to convey Dax’s
Not long after, the mighty army set off and headed for the police department.
There, Andrius‘ words cast a strange silence over the interrogation room.
Everyone seemed to be under a petrification spell. They all stood there, dumbfounded. Their brains malfunctioned as they forgot everything.
Then, after a dozen or so seconds…
“Pfft…”
Tucker, the captain of the police department, was drinking tea from a Thermos. He could not hold back and spewed the tea on the face of the officer in front of him.
“Hahah! Oh sh*t, my sides! Missiles… Why don’t you fly to the sky and stand shoulder–to–shoulder with the sun? Southern Warzone… What? You called the Southern Warzone Master to deal with us?
“Hahaha…”
The other officers burst into laughter one after another. They slapped their thighs and pounded the table. None of them took Andrius‘ words seriously.
Andrius could not be bothered with them either. He continued to cross his legs, smoked his cigarette. and exhaled smoke, looking exceptionally carefree.
“Andrius Moonshade.”
After a long time, Tucker finally stopped laughing and said with a mocking tone, “Since you’re so good at cracking jokes, I won’t make things difficult for you. Just sign your name on this confession letter.”
Confession letter?
Andrius did not even bother to glance at it. He looked at Tucker and exhaled another puff of smoke in his
face.
“Cough, cough…”
The strong smoke entered Tucker’s nostrils, causing him to cough violently. He immediately became furious. “Andrius Moonshade, I’m letting you off easily. How dare you continue to put on airs in front of
me?
Just then, a thunderous sound came from outside.
He leaned against the wall and looked outside. The main gate of the police department had been blown
“F*ck!”
The next moment, his voice came to a sudden stop.
Chapter 388
As soon as he stepped out of the interrogation room, a dark barrel was pressed against his forehead.
Those were real armored tanks!
Tucker was terrified and did not dare to move. He turned his eyes to look.
He saw troops on motorbikes and flashing lights to the side, and bring up the rear were countless soldiers as far as the eye could see.
Each one of them was armed to the teeth!
Then, someone jumped off the tank in the center and walked toward him in an imposing manner. The man had a majestic appearance and a fierce gaze. It was none other than the Southern Warzone Master, Dax Wimbleton!
Tucker was already scared out of his wits.
No matter how dumb he was, he now understood that Andrius‘ phone call was not a joke. It was real. His status and identity must be terrifying!
Thud!
The next moment, Tucker could not remain standing anymore. He knelt on the ground and trembled as he crawled to Andrius.
“I was wrong, sir!” Tucker groveled and said with a mournful face, “I was blind and offended you. Please forgive me. I’m guilty. I’ll repent!
“Sir, from today onward, I’ll definitely turn over a new leaf and start afresh!”
Tucker kept knocking his head on the ground as he spoke, quickly turning his forehead red.
“Sir…”
“Please spare us, sir!”
“Please. Have mercy on us this time, sir…”
All the officers involved in the operation also knelt down in front of Andrius.
Andrius did not even pay attention to them. He finished smoking the cigarette, looked at Dax, and said, They’re your people. You deal with them.”
Bang!
As soon as Andrius finished speaking. Dax shot Tucker dead with one bullet.
Bang, bang, bang.
Then, he fired several more shots. Not a single officer was spared. They were all killed.
“Alright, you can go now,” Andrius spoke casually and prepared to leave.
Dax could not help but roll his eyes. Andrius said it as if they were specifically here to clean up his mess.
“Andrius Moonshade.” Dax said in dissatisfaction, “Can you stop threatening me all the time? I’m still the Southern Warzone Master. I need my due respect.”
“Respect?” Andrius stopped and turned to glance at him. “Why don’t you see the people you have in your territory? They even dared to arrest me. I’m already giving you plenty of respect by not arresting you on the spot.
“If you want to blame someone, then blame your people. If you can’t handle them…”
Dax was furious. He was so angry that his whole body ached!
He could not help but retort, “I don’t believe that everyone in the western region is an elite. I don’t believe that there are no worthless losers like them!”
The management of the Southern Warzone had always been a difficult problem. Dax considered himself to be doing a good job, so he was very displeased.
