Chapter 393
Smack!
With Jace’s words, the armrest under Stephen’s hand shattered into powder on the spot.
Stephen was already burning with anger.
Everyone showed him respect, except for that little runt…
He was provoking him!
Stephen’s eyes were as cold as a venomous snake’s while he stared straight at Andrius below. He said coldly, “Kid, do you know who I am? Are you sure you want to compete with me in the auction? If you back off now, I can pretend that nothing happened.”
He gave his final ultimatum. “I’ll even give you a chance to change your ways after you lay your hands on my disciple.
“But if you remain stubborn…”
Stephen narrowed his eyes. The ferocious light flickering in them was more dazzling than the sun, causing people to tremble in fear.
“This is an auction.” Andrius could not be bothered to argue with him and said indifferently, “Auctions are about money, not words. If you want to bid, then hurry up and make your offer.”
Wow.
That brat was simply wild!
“That kid is really bold…”
“He’s bold, but… he’s destined to have a miserable end.”
“The last person who spoke to Stephen like that must have been back when he was in preschool, right?”
“My brother–in–law makes coffins. It looks like he’ll have some business soon.”
Many people were shocked by Andrius‘ audacity. They ridiculed him and looked at him with disdain.
Stephen’s nose scrunched up in anger, and his eyes widened so much that his eyeballs almost bulged. It was a terrifying sight.
The reflection of Andrius in his eyes shattered in an instant.
Stephen was ready to kill!
However, this was an auction. He could not risk causing a big disturbance and breaking the rules of the
auction house.
“I bid 170 million!” Stephen shouted his price with gritted teeth.
Andrius said casually, “I bid 180 million.”
“190 million!”
“200 million.“.
“210 million!”
“220 million.”
As the bidding intensified, the prices continued to soar.
Stephen gnashed his teeth.
Andrius was still nonchalant.
However, beside him, Luna was already anxious. She did not have that much money!
It was a familiar scene and a familiar formula. The same thing happened during the Riverfront Entertainment auction in Sumeria.
However, what was different was that Sonia emerged to buy Riverfront Entertainment in the end.
Now…
Who would foot the auction bill in this unfamiliar land?
“Andrius!” Luna pulled Andrius‘ sleeve and hissed in a low voice, “That’s enough. Stop bidding! You’re having fun shouting prices, but can you even fork out the money?”
Of course, he could.
He had trillions in his bank account. Of course, he could fork out the money.
Besides, as the Wolf King, since he had chosen to start, he had to fight till the end. There was neither an alternative path for him to take nor would he care to take it!
“250 million!”
“260 million.”
“290 million!”
“300 million.”
The prices were still soaring.
Luna was furious and anxious, but she was also helpless.
The bidding war attracted the attention of Joel Smith, the owner of the auction house.
After all…
Although the value of wild king ginseng was high, it would not reach the point of 300 million unless both sides were fighting.
This made Joel very curious. “Let me see the live footage.”
The secretary pulled it up at once.
Soon, the picture of Stephen’s resentful face appeared on the screen.
Hiss…
Joel was instantly stunned.
“Stephen Hoffman? He’s the infamous Grim Reaper of the capital!” He muttered to himself, “Who has the guts to bid against him?”
Joel was even more curious.
Then, Andrius‘ face also appeared on the screen.
“He’s…”
Andrius sat in the middle of the hall, so the cameras could not capture him clearly Joel was unable to
recognize him at a glance.
The secretary said firmly, “No matter who he is, I’m afraid he won’t have a good ending since he dared to compete with Stephen.”
However…
The next moment, Joel was shocked. Cold sweat formed on his forehead, and there was a flash in his eyes. A figure appeared in his mind. “It’s him!”
“Who?” the secretary instinctively asked.
Joel took out his phone, found a photo, and enlarged it, saying solemnly, “Taylor, you have sharp eyes. Take a closer look and see if they’re the same person.”

“Yes,” Taylor checked several times and said with certainty.
“Go. Go now!” Joel was both shocked and delighted upon hearing the answer. He pointed at Andrius on the screen and said, “Give the wild king ginseng directly to him.”
“Huh?” Taylor was stunned. Her sensual lips parted wide, and she asked in confusion, “Boss, who is that person? The wild king ginseng is worth at least several hundred million. How can you just give it away?”
“He’s…”
A light flashed in Joel’s eyes, and he said solemnly, “He’s someone who can crush Stephen with just his fingers. He’s the Wolf King!”
Last night, when Dax led his army to crush the police department, Joel happened to be nearby. He was very curious about the commotion and took a few pictures with his phone.
The first picture was of the police captain, Tucker Olson, kneeling and groveling before Andrius!
The second picture was of Andrius and the Southern Warzone Master, Dax Wimbleton, joking with each
other.
Was there a need to wonder what kind of status he had to be able to chat so merrily with Dax?
No!
In any case, Joel would just try to curry favor.
Besides, he had vaguely heard the words ‘Wolf King‘ at that time.
The Wolf King!
The Wolf King actually came to his auction to buy something.
What an honor!
At the auction site.
“350 million!”
“500 million.”
Andrius could not be bothered anymore and added more than a hundred million at once, completely crushing Stephen.
When that price was called out…
Everyone in the hall, not just Stephen, was also stunned
Damn it
Did his family run a money–printing business? How could he be so overbearing?
When Luna heard Andrius‘ bid, a hint of bitterness appeared on her beautiful face. She did not have that much money at all!
Andrius was having fun calling out the prices now, but they would suffer when the auction house wanted to verify their capital later
“500 million…”
Stephen could not come up with that much money, but he did not want to let Andrius buy it so easily either, so he said viciously, “I don’t believe that you have that much money. Where’s the manager? Hurry up and verify his funds!
“If you don’t have 500 million… I’ll skin you alive on the spot!”
Stephen had gone furious from humiliation and did not care about anything anymore. His killing intent
was evident.
Whispers filled the hall.
Luna’s expression changed drastically.
500 million…
Where was she supposed to find 500 million?
However, if she could not produce it now, it would not only offend Stephen but also the auction house. The situation would be very unfavorable!
“Andrius…” Luna could not help but mutter.
“There’s no need to verify the funds.”
Just then, the secretary, Taylor, appeared. Her beautiful eyes landed on Andrius‘ face. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
Yes.
The Wolf King was the Wolf King. He seemed ordinary at first glance, but if you looked closer…
His eyes were deep, his face was firm, and his figure instantly exuded an endless grandeur.
Taylor blushed as she continued to look at him. Then, she remembered her task and said, “This wild king ginseng… is free for you.”
Free?
What was going on?
Everyone was stunned.
In an instant, they all started speculating about Andrius and Luna’s identities. How could they make the auction house decide to give them the wild king ginseng worth 500 million for free?
“What do you mean?” Stephen almost went mad from anger. He roared, “Aren’t you an auction house? Why are you giving the wild king ginseng to him?”
It would be fine if the auction house gave the ginseng to someone else, Stephen would not have been so furious. However, they gave it to Andrius, who had offended him multiple times!
Bam!
Stephen slapped the wall, leaving a handprint that instantly indented the wall. It was obvious how furious
he was
“Sir, I understand how you feel” Taylor said neither arrogantly nor obsequiously, “But first, you didn’t win the bid, and second, our auction house doesn’t need others to teach us how to act”
That sentence rendered Stephen speechless There was only helpless rege remaining
“Miss…” Taylor did not pay attention to him and said to Luna, “Please follow me backstage to collect the
item

Chapter 395
The Wolf King?
The Wolf King!
Luna was so shocked that she froze in place on the spot.
The Wolf King bought this expensive ginseng and gave it to her as a gift? That was too outlandish to think of!
Suddenly…
Various incidents flashed through Luna’s mind.
New Moon Corporation and the Crestfall family were targeted by the Hanshus and the Hendersons, but the Wolf King came forward and directly dealt with both families.
Andrius was taken away by the police department in Sumeria, but it was also the Wolf King who came forward and tore down the police department.
Then…
The capital’s Crestfalls, the Millers, and Dean from Simon–Tooke all had conflicts with them, but the Wolf King had dealt with all of them.
It was supposedly just a coincidence.
However, thinking about it now, it was too much of a coincidence!
Not even a novel would dare to come up with such a plot!
Luna could not help but think.
Why was the Wolf King helping her?
Could it be that…
The Wolf King liked her?
As soon as that idea emerged, Luna found it ridiculous.
The Wolf King…
He was the man standing at the top of Florence and even the entire world. He was the dream lover of billions of girls. What kind of woman had he never seen?
It was impossible for him to like her. They were not from the same class at all.
Luna shook her head and put the idea behind her. She could only wait for an opportunity and slowly explore the reasons in the future.
After getting the ginseng, she quickly returned to the auction house and joined Andrius.
“Andrius.”
When Luna thought of the Wolf King, she could not help but want to share the news with someone. “Did you know? This ginseng was actually gifted by the Wolf King!”
The Wolf King gifted it?
Andrius was stunned for half a second before snapping back to his senses. The owner of the auction house must have recognized him, so he decided to give him the ginseng.
“Oh,” Andrius answered casually.
That response would have usually angered Luna, but she was in a dreamy state now and asked, “Why do you think the Wolf King gave me the ginseng? Could he be hinting something to me?”
She originally wanted to say, ‘giving me a hint‘, but after thinking about it, what kind of hint could the Wolf King give her?
Thus, she changed her words.
“What hint?” Andrius glanced at her and said incredulously, “He’s the Wolf King. Why would he care about a measly ginseng? Don’t think too much. Since he gifted it, we’ll just take it.”
Luna rolled her eyes and could not help but say, “Gifts blind the eyes. Although he’s the Wolf King, we can’t break etiquette. If there’s an opportunity, we should still give him a gift in return.”
Luna really had good awareness.
“We’ll think about it if the chance comes,” Andrius said casually.
“I hope…” A sparkling light flashed in Luna’s eyes. “I hope that that opportunity will come sooner than later!”
The Wolf King!
He was such a distinguished person!
He was such a hero!
Who would not want to meet him?
It would be a lie to say she did not want to.
The two spoke as they walked out of the auction house.
Ring–ring….
Luna’s phone suddenly rang. It was Rainbow.
“Luna.” On the phone, Rainbow said bluntly, “Stella, from my uncle’s family, brought her boyfriend back to the capital. They want to treat us to a meal at the Grand Aurelia Hotel. You can just come straight in the afternoon.”
The Stella that Rainbow mentioned was Stella Conery, Alec’s daughter. She was Rainbow and Luna’s cousin. It was rumored that she found a very powerful partner.
As for how powerful he was, Luna was not sure since she had never met him before.
“We’ll go over now.”
After hanging up the phone, she said to Andrius, who was driving. “Someone invited us to lunch. Let’s go straight to the Grand Aurelia Hotel.”
Andrius stepped on the gas pedal and drove the Mercedes–Benz
Unbeknownst to him, Stephen came out of the auction house. A gloomy look flashed in his sunken eyes as he looked at the distant Mercedes
“Check and find out where they came from. How dare he rob something that I had my eye on….”

Stephen ordered without turning his head. His words were squeezed out from behind gritted teeth.
“Yes!”
The Mercedez–Bens stopped at the entrance of the Grand Aurelia Hotel.
As soon as they entered, a trendy and fashionable woman stood up. A man in a suit sat on her right. He was Stella’s boyfriend, Renault Hill.
Stella’s eyes rested on Andrius, and she said with a charming voice, “This must be your husband, Andrius Moonshade. I heard he’s from the western mountainous region.”
Luna knew that she was up to no good and nodded coldly. “Yes.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…” Stella snorted and said, “Luna, I’m not trying to lecture you, but your standards are really questionable.
“Back then, when my aunt married her husband, although they were also mismatched in status, at least, he was a member of the Crestfalls. There was still some hope for him.
Stella seemed not to notice this and pointed to the man next to her, introducing him with a smile, “Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Renault Hill. He’s 28 this year and serves in the military.“
Stella smiled mysteriously and boasted, “Speaking of… He met the Southern Warzone Master before and
“With such achievements at a young age, his future is limitless!”
“That’s true. Andrius isn’t even qualified to compare with him.” There were also some people who started mocking Andrius directly with cold words.
“Hello, Andrius Moonshade.” Renault held out his right hand to Andrius with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness hidden in his smile because Luna was breathtakingly beautiful.
Renault then said with a dark smile, “In a few days, I’ll have my retired comrades arrange a security job for you. As long as you’re willing, I guarantee that you’ll be promoted to the captain of the security team within three years!”
Andrius ate with relish and casually asked, “What position do you hold in the Southern Warzone?”
“As long as I pass the selection of that day, I’ll become a member of the Southern Warzone Spec Ops unit and will definitely achieve great things in the future
Chapter 397
Those words immediately stirred up a wave.
“Amazing. The Conerys actually have such an amazing son–in–law!”
When Renault heard everyone’s praises, he looked at Andrius smugly, wanting to see how inferior Andrius felt.
The young man’s name was lan Weaver. He was the young master of the Weavers in the capital. He was about to curse loudly when Rainbow bumped into him, but when he saw that she was a stunning beauty. he immediately became restless and swallowed his words.
The people in the room asked each other when they saw lan suddenly come in.
Rainbow frowned and said, “I’ve already apologized to you.”
Chapter 398
“Babe.” lan became arrogant again and went straight to Rainbow. reaching out to touch her face. “You have to drink with me today. Come with me…”
Just then, Renault slapped the table and stood up with a cold smile. “You’re being too arrogant, kid. I’m the host today… Aren’t you disrespecting me too much by causing trouble here?”
