Chapter 411
Andrius and Rainbow went in.
The soldier closed the door without saying a word.
Then, he hopped into the driver’s seat and drove off.
Back in the main hall, Renault looked at the time before he intentionally said goodbye to Luna and left for the military district.
The limousine with the military flag came to a slow stop in the Southern Warzone’s military base.
Andrius and Rainbow came down from the car.
Further back at the entrance, Renault had just arrived and spotted the two of them. He was surprised because, from the back, the woman’s figure resembled Rainbow’s.
How?
With the question in mind, Renault strode forward.
As he got closer, he got a clearer glance at her face and realized that it was indeed Rainbow.
Renault was stunned. He then looked at the man beside Rainbow. It was Andrius!
The two of them were not soldiers and not related personnel, so how could they have gotten in?
Renault was stunned on the spot and started pondering. He had heard from Stella before that Rainbow was a military otaku. She was so fascinated by them to the point that she would go to extreme lengths to see one in person. She must be here in hopes to catch a glimpse of the Wolf King’s face.
What about Andrius? Why would he be here as well?
He must have realized that he was not treated with respect back at the Conerys and found out that the Wolf King was into his woman, so he got jealous and decided to come to reason with the Wolf King.
What a joke.
Renault shook his head with a frosty grin..
Once the Wolf King got mad, thousands of bodies would fall!
What Andrius was about to do was suicidal!
Renault strode toward them. He wanted to knock some sense into their thick skulls, to prevent Andrius from angering the Wolf King, which would indirectly bring himself down.
It was at that moment that the state military governor, Decker, and a group of high–ranking officers came by and stood right in front of Andrius, saluting him in union.
“Wolf King!”
They were loud and energetic as if they were tigers and lions roaring. Their salute not only showed the discipline of the soldiers of the Southern Warzone, but it also shocked Renault.
Wolf King?
Andrius was a caveman to him, but the high–ranking officers called him the Wolf King?!
As though a bolt of lightning struck him, Renault was petrified on the spot.
What a ridiculous joke.
Wolf King, Andrius…
Andrius, Wolf King…
The names represented two people from two different social classes, yet they were now combined together to form that grand and reputable figure.
Renault was mortified, and it fueled his anxiety.
How could Andrius be the Wolf King?!
Renault could not accept the fact. He got in formation with his comrades, but his mind remained blank.
He was so carried away that when Decker invited Andrius on stage to inspect the soldiers and Spec Ops Forces, he still could not recover his composure.
Even when the captain of the Spec Ops Forces, Ace Graham, gave the command to fall in, he did not respond at all.
“Attention!” Ace roared.
The Spec Ops Forces member stood straight and firm except for Renault.
“At ease!”
Following the second command, the Spec Ops Forces members switched their stances, except for Renault
“To your right! Attention!”
When all the Spec Ops Forces members turned to the right, the blank Renault stood out. He did not follow orders from the start.
Ace frowned.
Before he could berate Renault, Andrius‘ voice could be heard from behind him.
“Is this how the Spec Ops Forces members of the Southern Warzone respond to commands? Even basic commands seem to be difficult to obey.”
Andrius did not mention or target Renault but simply stated a fact.
Blood rushed into Renault’s mind. With the intense pressure and nervousness bombarding his mental state, he fainted on the spot.
Andrius did not expect Renault to be such a wimp. He simply stated a fact, and Renault already passed out!

Chapter 412
Andrius raised his brow and looked at Ace.
“Who selected him to join the Spec Ops Forces? He’s weak, physically and mentally. His pressure
tolerance is basically zero. Can he even go onto the battlefield? How can someone like him join the Spec Ops Forces?”
He was not targeting Renault in particular, but Renault’s performance was disappointing. Any common soldier could do better than him.
Andrius was rather annoyed.
Decker was fuming already, and so were the other members of the Spec Ops Forces. Renault’s poor performance did not only reflect on himself, but it also affected the entire Spec Ops Forces‘ reputation and disgraced the entire Southern Warzone.
Even Rainbow had a hint of contempt on her beautiful face. How dare Renault speak so loudly in front of her family with that weak mentality?
As the captain, Ace thought of giving his best performance in front of the Wolf King, but Renault’s poor performance ruined his plans. His expression turned grim immediately
He turned around and explained, “Wolf King, sir, his name is Renault Hill, and he was selected through the usual selection process, but we haven’t got the time to screen his mentality.”
He then turned back around to his troops and announced, “I hereby expel Renault Hill from the Spec Ops Forces. From today onwards, he is no longer one of us. Our team doesn’t need a weakling like him. You hear me?!”
He shouted the last few words to express his anger.
“Yes, sir!” the other members roared a reply to express their disappointment as well. They were so loud and grand that it felt like their shouts could annihilate their enemies.
“That’s more like it.” Andrius scanned over the Spec Ops Forces with a sharp gaze and said loudly, “Be proud that you are a Florencian, and may you be born in the same land again in your next life.
“All of you are the elite soldiers of the Florencian army, the pillar of support of the people, the spear that fends off the enemy, and the walls that shield any intrusion.
“Everything you do represents Florence’s spirit, the history of this country. I do not wish to see something. similar happen again in the future.”
Both Decker and Ace were embarrassed after Andrius‘ speech. Even the Spec Ops Forces members lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Renault had humiliated all of them in front of the Wolf King!
After the speech, Andrius wanted to leave.
“Wolf King, sir!” Ace took a deep breath before he held Andrius back.
Andrius slightly turned around and asked, “What is it? Speak.”
A strange look flashed in Ace’s eyes. “I want to challenge you.”
“You? You are not my match.”
Andrius then made a move to leave.
“I didn’t mean me alone! I mean all of us, the whole Spec Ops Forces, against you, alone!” Ace explained.
“We developed a special tactical formation, named the Nine Dragon Cage Formation. With meticulous cooperation and tacit reaction, the Spec Ops Forces can trap a formidable target with ease.
“We used it against the Warzone Master before, and we managed to trap him for as long as ten minutes. I heard…”
A hint of excitement and anticipation appeared on his face. “I heard that you defeated the Warzone Master with just three attacks, Wolf King, so we want to have a spar with you. Please enlighten us.”
Ace had planned this from the start. Fighting the Wolf King was an exciting thought.
In addition to Renault’s embarrassment, Ace wanted to present his team even more in front of Andrius, in an attempt to regain their reputation and not end up as the joke in the Southern Warzone.
“Sure.” Andrius was intrigued.
The Spec Ops Forces started to get into formation.
Ha!
The warcry they released sounded like a tiger’s roar.
The members formed a strange formation in just a matter of seconds. They seemed to be moving around in disorder, but their movements actually contained a strategy.
Whenever any of them launched an attack at the trapped target, the other members could support or counterattack in the shortest time possible, which made the formation impressive.
“Attack!”
Following Ace’s command, the Spec Ops Forces members started to move rapidly.
There were only a dozen of them, but it felt like there were ten thousand soldiers behind them. They undulated like a continuous tidal wave. Their aura alone could destroy enemies and instill fear into their
opponents
Swoosh!
Multiple figures attacked from the front, the left, and the right at the same time, leaving no space for the trapped target to dodge.
Andrius grinned. He stood firm and entered an alert state.
He reached out to the first Spec Ops Forces member and grabbed him by the wrist. Then, he lifted the member up and used his body as a blunt weapon
Chapter 413
The Spec Ops Forces members from the right and left were flung away easily.
As soon as the formation was disrupted, the spar was over.
Ace, Decker, and the Spec Ops Forces members did not expect the spar to end so quickly and so thoroughly. They were all devastated and stunned on the spot.
It was not Rainbow’s first time seeing Andrius in action, but she was still stunned and fascinated by his clean and unpredictable moves. It was considered eye candy to her.
Andrius said, “The formation is strong, but individually, you guys are too weak. It’s only a matter of time before you face defeat in front of absolute strength.”
Then, he grabbed Rainbow, who was still dumbfounded, and left.
A while later, Ace regained his composure and looked in the direction where Andrius walked away. He sighed emotionally and exclaimed, “As expected of the No. 1 soldier of Florence. In a single move, he easily destroyed the formation that we practiced for so long. I’m impressed.”
Although he sounded disappointed, he had endless respect for Andrius.
As the soldiers selected into the Spec Ops Forces, they might be defeated in battle, but they would never lose the war!
Losing to the Wolf King would only encourage them to train themselves harder and become stronger.
Back at Kavo Estate, when Andrius and Rainbow came back, the celebration in the main hall was still going on with the Wolf King remaining the topic of discussion.
The Conerys could talk about Luna and the Wolf King for at least three months.
When Luna saw Andrius, she asked, “Where have you been?”
“I went out for a walk,” he simply said.
She hated his nonchalance and frivolous attitude, even more so after the Conerys brainwashed her into believing that the Wolf King liked her.
She started to feel the same. Once the seed of thought was planted in her head, it would only sprout into a massive tree that would take over her mind.
Andrius, who barely occupied a corner in her mind, would be shoved away under some storage memories.
It was not entirely Luna’s fault though.
The Wolf King’s name alone was a lethal temptation. One could be lost and infatuated with him.
Moreover, Luna and Andrius were playing pretend, so they were not a real couple. Even if she fell in love with the Wolf King and had sex with him, it would not consider a betrayal to Andrius either.
After all, Andrius was seeing a few women outside as well!
Then, one of the servants rushed into the hall nervously and cried, “Madam, something has happened!”
Jane was having the time of her life. Her granddaughter, Stella, scored a boyfriend who was a member of the Spec Ops Forces with a bright future. Her other granddaughter, Luna, was the Wolf King’s favorite
Even the Astons, a powerful and wealthy family, came to her birthday even to congratulate her, not to
mention the state military governor, Decker Armstrong.
She enjoyed every moment until the servant came in with an anxious look.
Displeasure, Jane shrieked, “What is it?! Can’t you read the room? Today is a good day for our family. Don’t come in here and scream like it’s the end of the world“”
“Hit’s… Mr. Hill! Mr. Hill was just sent back from the military!” The servant lowered her head and continued, “The two soldiers who sent him back said that he is too weak mentally, and he has been expelled from the Spec Ops Forces, so…”
Her words shocked everyone in the hall.
“How is this possible?”
“Shouldn’t there be an official call from the military?”
“Is this fake news?”
Alec and the others were horrified and refused to believe the servant.
Stella wore a frosty look and bellowed, “What nonsense? Renault was handpicked to join the Spec Ops Forces.“.
She was interrupted when two other servants helped Renault into the hall.
Renault looked lifeless as he was carried in. He could not even stand on his feet properly, and the confidence and pride in him were gone. He was like a lifeless ragdoll.
Jane, Alec, Stella, and the others were confused. They went up to him in concern and bombarded him with questions.
“Renault! What happened?”
“What happened to you?”
“Renault, my dear, don’t scare me!”
Renault looked up. He wanted to say something but then he saw Andrius smiling further away. His legs turned weak and he collapsed onto the floor again.
Chapter 414
The two servants holding Renault felt the sudden dead weight. He collapsed onto the floor just like that. Not even the two servants could hold him up.
“Renault!”
“My dear!”
The Conerys were shocked. They all went up to him, pushed the servants away, and helped him up themselves.
They patted his back and massaged his philtrum. Someone went to grab a glass of warm water for him.
The entire family was in an anxious mess. Everyone was all over the place.
After a while, although everyone was exhausted, they managed to keep Renault from passing out.
Renault caught a breath of relief, but when he saw Andrius‘ disgust in his eyes, he immediately thought of Andrius‘ true identity.
“Uh… Uh…” His eyes rolled back and almost passed out again.
Andrius was speechless. He said emotionlessly, “Aren’t you a member of the Spec Ops Forces of the Southern Warzone? You’re so weak! Where are your guts? Can’t you look more alive? Stop passing out!”
He spoke with the utmost contempt.
Stella could not bear the insults. She wanted to reason with Andrius, but then again, Andrius‘ words somehow triggered Renault, and he managed to stay conscious.
“My dear…” Stella did not lash out at Andrius but chose to stay beside Renault. “How are you? What happened?”
Jane, however, was more concerned about Renault’s position in the Southern Warzone.
She had one last bit of hope that the servant was misinformed, so she asked, “Renault, the servant was talking nonsense just now. She said you were sent back from the military. Is it true?”
“I…” Renault had a sip of water to calm himself down. He looked complicated when he explained, “I saw the Wolf King at the event earlier. I was excited, but the Wolf King’s aura scared me, so… I
underperformed during the event and passed out.”
He had a subtle glance at Andrius when he explained.
Jane, Stella, and the others were stunned by his words and did not notice his little glance.
Rainbow, on the other hand, was present at the event and knew what exactly happened. She almost burst into laughter when she heard Renault. While she managed to hold her laughter back, her body twitched uncontrollably.
Passing out in front of the Wolf King was solid proof of underperforming.
Jane looked gloomy. She asked, “Then, how did the Spec Ops Forces react? Are you still with them?”
Renault knew that if he told them that he was expelled, everyone would abandon him and look down on him, so he did not reveal the disappointing fact at first. He had another glance at Andrius.
If Andrius gave him a chance, he could be reinstated any minute.
However, after what he did and said to Andrius, would he get a second chance?
He should be grateful that Andrius did not take his life. The thought put a bitter scowl on his face.
Andrius said with protruded lips, “You passed out in front of the Wolf King. It means you are weak, so it’s impossible for you to go back with them.”
Renault’s face turned pale.
“Andrius! Shut your dirty mouth! Keep quiet!”
“Andrius, you are jealous of him!”
“Since you came to our house, you have been cursing Grandmother and now Renault. What are you trying to do?!”
“Can you shut your piehole?!”
Alec, Stella, and the others scolded him, venting out their grievance at him after what he said.
Renault was shocked. He immediately revealed the truth and said, “I… I was expelled by the Spec Ops Forces…”
Right after his confession, Renault looked even more dispirited as if his soul had left his body.
Chapter 415
“Huh?”
“What?!”
“Oh…”
The Conerys were disappointed.
Jane and Alec returned to their seats, leaving Stella by Renault’s side.
Stella refused to give up the last bit of hope.
Renault was chosen to join the Spec Ops Forces because of his capabilities. If he had the chance, he might be able to make a comeback.
Then, Renault would appreciate Stella for encouraging him and staying by his side in his darkest days. He would only love her move and it would make her dream of being a general’s wife a reality.
With that, Stella decided to bite the bullet and went over to Luna. She said humbly, “Luna, I was ignorant. I apologize for my attitude. I’m sorry, but you are still one of us, so please help Renault. You wouldn’t want to see him like this either, right?”
Luna was caught off guard by the question.
What? Since when was she involved in this?
Confused, she asked, “Stella, what are you trying to say?”
“Well, you are the Wolf Queen!” Stella looked inspired as she explained, “If you can just talk to the Wolf King and say something good about Renault in front of him. Renault can then be reinstated!”
Her words enlightened everyone else in the family.
Jane, Alec, and the others were struck by the same realization.
“Yeah! Luna!”
Jane held Luna’s hands and said with a pleading gaze, “You and Stella are family, and family should help each other out to overcome obstacles. Why don’t you talk to the Wolf King?”
Alec added, “The Wolf King did so much for you. If you can just ask him, he will definitely do it! Until then, you can marry the Wolf King, and Stella can continue to be Renault’s girlfriend. Both of you will become the wives of powerful generals. You two can look out for each other, and our family will be proud of you!”
Alec looked like a pig articulating his absurdly stupid thoughts. Neither of them had started anything, but Alec had already painted the ending for everyone.
Rainbow almost burst out in laughter again.
Fortunately, everyone’s attention was on Luna, thus no one noticed her reaction.
“I…” Luna found herself in a difficult position. “I’ve never seen the Wolf King before in my life.”
After the brainwashing session earlier in the afternoon, Luna really wanted to meet the Wolf King in
person. Unfortunately, love was not something on sale in the supermarket, and the Wolf King was not a Youtuber that anyone could see on YouTube.
“Luna…” Stella refused to give up. She continued, “The Wolf King obviously likes you. If you can just express your feelings, he will come to you!”
“Yeah! Luna!” Jane echoed, “You said the Wolf King will help you whenever you are in trouble, so it means he is watching you. If you can just help, Renault will be reinstated in no time!”
Alec humbly said, “Luna, Stella is your cousin. You wouldn’t want her future husband to lose his position, right?”
Chapter 416
Luna felt extremely helpless. She was forced to agree. “If I see the Wolf King, I will let him know.”
Rainbow agreed with what Andrius said. The Wolf King was indeed a wise and kind person.
Rainbow added, “Andy, Luna looks like she’s into the Wolf King. Are you never going to tell her about your identity?”
She asked the question to satisfy her personal desire.
If Andrius revealed his identity, Luna would fall for him instantly, then Rainbow would lose the chance.
“Like?” Andrius shook his head. He knew what was happening with Luna. “She likes the title of the Wolf King, not me as a person. You saw how she treats me. Do you call that liking me?”
Rainbow was silenced.
Andrius was not bothered as well. He explained, “Besides, I married her because I am here to repay the debt of my master, and I don’t want Master Crestfall to be sad. After all this is done, I will go back to the Western Frontline. That’s where I should be.”
Andrius glanced at her and asked, “Why are you going to the border instead of staying here on the mainland?”
“No You are too small” Andrius expression turned gloomy and he quickly walked away
“Small!?” Rainbow was annoyed She lifted her chest up and asked, “Which part of me is small? Hey! Don’t go‘ Andy! Make yourself clear or else.“
Luna somehow wandered to Astral Auction House without realizing it.
“Mr. Smith.” Luna skipped the chatters and asked, “You said that the Wolf King gave me the wild king ginseng. Can you give me his contact information?”
The Wolf King had been right beside her that day Based on what he knew, the two of them were husband
With that thought in mind, Joel was struck with a realization–Luna was unaware of the Wolf King’s true
“Actually “The thoughts flashed in his mind as arranged his words. “The Wolf King got the wild king ginseng, but he wasn’t here himself, so I can’t help you either.”
“He wasn’t here?”
Luna took the invoice for a look
The one who paid was actually Sonia, the CEO of Celestial Enterprise
As the Wolf King. Andrius would never simply accept other people’s kindness. He asked Sonia to send the invoice over after the purchase, hence the existence of the physical evidence
Luna’s heart pounded wildly when she saw the name
The secret boss behind the Celestial Enterprise was the oil King
It connected many dots instantly
Luna was able to meet her questions with answer S.
Why would Sonia and Celestial Enterprise help ter again and again?
When New Moon Corporation needed funding Celestial Exergse masked. They had no budget as prote consideration and asked for no retum, it was like a free kanche
It was all made possible because the Wolf King was behind it.
After getting her answer, Luna left the auction house.
On the way back, she pondered and imagined what it would be like to meet the Wolf King in person. She wanted to ask him why.
Her mind was boggled even after reaching Kavo Estate and returning to her room.
The next day, the other family members of the Conerys, who came just to celebrate Jane’s birthday, went back.
“Stella!” Rainbow came over and said, “May I have a word with your boyfriend?”
Chapter 418
What did she want to talk about?
Rainbow was no longer the little sister of his girlfriend. She was the Wolf King’s messenger, Renault’s savior!
His tone and attitude were completely different from his previous self.
Rainbow found his reaction amusing. She said, “You’d better work hard.”
