Chapter 422
Luna seemingly sat down calmly in the parlor, but her fingers were tightly clenched. Her joints started to pale due to the excessive clenching. She was extremely nervous.
It was understandable though since almost no one in the world could remain calm when meeting the Wolf King.
A lot was going through her mind and heart at once.
Creak!
As the door opened, Luna lifted her chest and looked up immediately, presenting herself as a confident and professional woman.
It was Sonia
Sonia smiled and said, “Ms Crestfall, the Wolf King is waiting inside for you”
“Okay, thank you.”
Luna took a deep breath. She tried to walk at a steady pace as she made her way to the office Her hands were wet due to the excessive sweating, and her heart almost burst out of her chest because of the pounding
She had fantasized about the meeting many times but was still unable to contain her nervousness knowing that she would be meeting the Wolf King in a few minutes.
What was the Wolf King like?
Was he a handsome and dignified person?
Why would he treat her so well?
Was he someone that she knew?
Excitement Anticipation Fear Nervousness.
All kinds of emotions were jumbled up in her heart
The few steps to the office felt like a journey to another world
Finally, Luna arrived in front of the office. She took another deep breath before she opened the door
The first thing she saw was a person whose figure looked grand and majestic Looking at the persona figure alone made her heart beat even faster
Her voice trembled when she said. “Wolf King
You re here
The Wolf King’s voice sounded charming and deep, and it somehow sounded familiar.
Luna tried to recall where she had heard the voice before, but she did not have then turzse to thuisk,

She felt like she was prey in front of a predator, and her first instinct was to bow
The Wolf King felt like a God who peered down on earth to be worshiped and admired by man. His aura carried Luna’s thoughts away.
She was stunned for a full ten seconds before she slowly regained her composure. She expressed her gratitude sincerely. “Wolf King, thank you for helping my family and New Moon Corporation multiple times
Luna bowed to the Wolf King.
“Ms Crestfall, you’re welcome New Moon Corporation has always abided by the law and is a promising company Those who targeted you are simply villainous parties. Since I caught them in the act, there’s no way I would let them go.”
Luna thought the Wolf King would sound superior and pressuring after helping her so many times, but he turned out to be an easy–going and understanding person
Her fondness for him multiplied instantly.
She did not know how to reply
The Wolf King said, “Ms Crestfall, I heard from Ms. Timberland that New Moon Corporation is planning to bid for the East River State Medical Society’s joint medical project. I wonder how it is progressing, is there any suitable prescription?”

Chapter 423
Luna looked down and answered embarrassingly, “New Moon Corporation is not that well–resourced. We don’t have any prescriptions prepared yet.”
The Wolf King nodded. He pushed a piece of paper to her and said, “Then, here’s a prescription. Consider it a gift from our meeting.”
A prescription from the Wolf King!?
Not only did she meet the Wolf King in person, but she even got a prescription?
What an honor!
Luna almost screamed out loud. She forced herself to take another deep breath to suppress the thrilling urge. “Thank you, Wolf King!”
They chatted for a while before the Wolf King said, “Ms. Crestfall, I have something else to attend to believe you can go back on your own.”
Happiness usually never lasted. The Wolf King told her to go back and was prepared to leave.
Luna’s head was instantly filled with all kinds of thoughts.
After a struggling battle with her own thoughts, she mustered up enough courage to ask, “Wolf King, please hold on! Can I…”
She bit her lip seductively. With endless anticipation flooding her mind and her eyes gleaming with hope. she asked, “May I see your true face?”
The Wolf King paused and said, “It’s not the time.”
He then left the office, leaving the disappointed Luna alone.
Fortunately, the disappointment did not last. After all, meeting the Wolf King was already an honor.
This was the first meeting but definitely not the last.
A bright smile appeared on Luna’s face.
She was thrilled!
She exited the office and left the building.
The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and even the wind tasted sweet. Everything felt perfect.
She stretched her body while looking into the sky. She took a deep breath and instantly felt refreshed.
“Huh?”
Right before Luna got into her car, she spotted something that stunned her.
Further away, she saw a familiar figure. It was Andrius!
Andrius was squatting down behind a row of rental electric bikes, seemingly trying to commit something
vile
Luna’s great mood vanished She marched over to him and bellowed. “Andrius, why are you me?! Are you stalking me?”
Stalking her?
following
Andrius was being accused of something he did not do He had just come out from the building and
Chap

wanted to rent one of the electric bikes by squatting down.
Then, Luna came over and called him a stalker.
“No. I just…” Andrius had a gloomy expression on his face when he tried to explain, but he did not get the
chance to.
“Enough!” Luna interrupted him and boldly said, “I’m not afraid to tell you that I am here to see the Wolf King! As I have said before, you can pursue your own happiness. I don’t care how many women you see, but I have the right to pursue my own happiness as well. You have no right to interfere with my life! Don’t forget that we are just playing pretend! Don’t ever stalk me again!”
The woman was so carried away with blind righteousness that she blamed Andrius for everything.
Why would the Wolf King stalk her? Did he have too much free time on hand?
Andrius did not know how to react and did not want to argue with her.
Vroom!
Since Andrius did not answer, Luna strode back to her car and drove off. The car disappeared beyond the junction, leaving a trail of engine fumes in the air.
Andrius hopped onto his electric bike and went to Noir’s garage.
“Andy, two pints?” Noir giggled as he brought alcohol out on the table.
Chapter 424
The two of them started drinking.
Andrius grumbled after he had a sip, “Luna came to see me today.”
“What do you mean?” Noir was confused.
They should be seeing each other every day, so why would Andrius mention meeting Luna?
A moment later, he realized what Andrius was referring to. Andrius must mean Luna meeting him as the Wolf King, not Andrius Moonshade.
“What did she say?” Noir was intrigued.
“What else could she say?”
Feeling helpless, Andrius recited what happened during and after the meeting.
“Hahahaha!” Noir burst out in laughter. “The prestigious Wolf King is called a stalker?! Andy, you are so…”
He then noticed the grim look on Andrius‘ face and his laughter froze.
“Ahem… She’s being harsh.” He cleared his throat and switched to a righteous tone, saying, “Andy, the girl really doesn’t appreciate you. You helped her, and she called you a stalker? Isn’t that against the law?
“I suggest you tell her you are the Wolf King, easy and simple. She will fall for you immediately and then…”
Noir was the master of lame ideas.
Andrius rolled his eyes. “I am here to repay the debt for my old man. I don’t want to attract so much attention. If she really falls for me, it will be really troublesome.”
“You’re right.” Noir nodded in agreement. He said, “No one can withstand the Wolf King’s charms. If you really reveal yourself, she will love you to death and back. But..”
He cleared his throat once more and said with a mischievous grin, “Andy, do you really not have any feelings for her? Don’t rush it, don’t answer it right away. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and listen to your heart.”
Andrius did as told. He put his glass down and started to recall all his encounters with Luna.
Whenever trouble came knocking at his door, Luna would step up to protect him. He was also arrested multiple times and Luna had asked her grandparents to help him. Even though she was a little slow and somewhat simple–minded, her feelings were straightforward and authentic.
However, it could only prove that Luna was a sentimental person and not someone who would start a scene without any reason. He admired that aspect of her but that was it. There was no romantic feeling or whatnot.
Andrius did not want to linger on the topic. He switched the topic and asked, “Noir, what do you know about the Grand Medicinal Competition?”
“The Grand Medicinal Competition?” Noir put his beer down. He eagerly explained, “It’s actually the biggest event in the medical field Those who win the top few places earn a huge reputation, making them one of the best doctors in the East River State and even the entire country.
“But it’s extremely hard to win the top few spots because most of the participants are doctors from well- known families in the field. They are already renowned doctors with amazing skills.
“The prize is lucrative as well. Based on what I heard, the first prize is the skeleton of a member of a
Chap 424
2/2
mysterious family.”
Andrius nearly spat out his beer. “The skeleton of someone from a mysterious family can be used as the first prize for the competition? What is wrong with the organizers‘ minds? That’s sick!”
He could not accept winning someone’s skeleton from a competition. He showed little interest in the competition anyway, and now that he knew what the prize was, his interest vanished.
“Sick?” Noir did not answer Andrius‘ comment on the prize. He continued, “Andy, if I remember correctly, your m
aster entered the previous Grand Medicinal Competition and won the first prize back then!”
Chapter 425
Andrius was not at all surprised.
Old Hagstorm’s medical skills amazed the world. He was definitely the best doctor that had ever lived, and Andrius strongly believed in it.
It was only reasonable that his master would get the first prize in the competition. It would only be strange if he did not.
It was just strange that the first prize of this year’s competition would be some skeleton from a deceased member of a mysterious family.
“Noir, what do you know about this skeleton?”
“Nothing, other than knowing it’s a skeleton, I can’t find out anything else,” Noir said with a shake of his head and a shrug.
If Noir could not find out more, Andrius thought of calling his master, Old Hagstorm.
“The number you have dialed is invalid. Please make sure you are calling the right number…”
Invalid?
Andrius was rather surprised.
Old Hagstorm used the same phone number for decades, but it suddenly became invalid?
Andrius‘ first instinct was that something happened.
“Noir!” Andrius‘ eyes glowed fiercely. He said heavily, “Find out what happened! Now!”
Old Hagstorm had taught him the way of life and raised him. Without the man, there would be no Andrius Moonshade or the Wolf King of Florence. If something happened to the man, Andrius would not forgive himself!
“On it!”
Noir bolted up as his expression turned serious. He understood the severity of the matter.
Someone had targeted the Wolf King’s master.
It was no longer a personal matter; it mattered to the million Lycantroops of the Western Frontline and the entire Florence!
Orders were being sent out one after another through various channels.
Countless mysterious agents in the dark started to move out.
A while later, Noir got an update.
“Andy” Noir’s expression looked even more serious than before. “I just got news of a military strike. The targeted location was Mount Dragon Tiger. They used many tricky methods, one of which jammed the signal. That’s why”
The military was involved?
A signal jammer?
The location was Mount Dragon Tiger, where Old Hagstorm lived!
What was the military doing?

Salute
bellowed with gritted teeth, “I want the
The anger almost drove. Andrius into a frenzie fastest jet ready. I am going over now. Plan out the route and tell the ground staff to be ready!”
He then hopped onto a car that Noir had worked on and headed to the nearest military airport.
Mount Dragon Tiger was located on the border of the Western and Northern Warzones, which made it a secluded area.
After Andrius got out of the jet, he jumped into a four–wheel drive and headed to the mountains.
The mountain foot had barricades set up.
“Hold up!”
Andrius got out of the car and a group of soldiers surrounded him, stopping him from going deeper.
The leader bellowed coldly, “The military is having an operation ahead. Unrelated persons are…”
Bang!
Andrius punched the man in the face, sending him flying more than a dozen meters away.
If he remembered correctly, the sword emblem belonged to the Northern Warzone. “You are all from the Northern Warzone?”
Chapter 426
Before the soldiers could answer, Andrius bellowed, “I am the Wolf King of the Western Warzone. Tell the Northern Warzone Master, Caestus Rembrandt, to come out now! If I don’t see him in 30 seconds, don’t blame me for going on a killing spree!”
It was evident that he was no ordinary individual, his presence contained power and pressure.
“Caestus Rembrandt!” Andrius narrowed his eyes but it did not conceal the burning rage in them. “Give me a good reason why you are here, or else this won’t end well! Don’t give me that nonsense! You should know who the person living on Mount Dragon Tiger is to me!”
Andrius questioning him loudly in front of his soldiers only fueled his anger.
The Emperor was royalty, not some criminal that he could arrest regardless of circumstances. He was just trying to come up with an excuse to argue with Andrius.
“If not…” Andrius‘ narrowed eyes gleamed coldly. “Don’t talk nonsense with me!”
Caestus was losing his patience, his expression spelled anger. He gritted his teeth and said, “I am here on the decree of the Emperor to apprehend the person living in Mount Dragon Tiger!”
“Apprehend?” Andrius was angrier than before. “One word from the Emperor, and you are taking my master? I will not allow it! If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, no one is allowed to go up the mountain!”
Caestus was infuriated by Andrius‘ intimidation. He was also a Warzone Master, so why must he lower himself before Andrius?
“If that’s the case, we shall see about that!”
As soon as his words subsided, Caestus vanished into a shadow and darted toward Andrius like a ghost.
The Northern Warzone Master was known for his speed. His targets would not even react in time before their heads were decapitated.
Swoosh!
Chapter 427
It was even more difficult to kill a Warzone Master.
Caestus was deterred. His expression froze for a moment.
“You can either take your soldiers away and leave Mount Dragon Tiger, or my Lycantroops will arrive. bringing nothing but destruction. Don’t blame me for not holding back then.
After serious consideration of his odds, Caestus ordered his soldiers to retreat. It was more important to stay alive than go against the madman’s stubborn temper, or else he would die in vain.
After Caestus led his men away from the mountain, he pulled his phone out to make a call.
“Andrius Moonshade is on his way to Kiyoto.”
At the Forbidden Palace, Kiyoto.
The palace was grand and extravagant. Each building and pavilion, as well as every wall and brick, was designed to match a traditional architectural style.
There were also beautiful lakes decorated with meticulous and realistic fake mountains. The beautiful lake was kissed by the gentle wind, making it comfortable for anyone to be there.
Andrius wore a frosty look as he slapped the tea away, crushing it. He asked, “Your Majesty, I am here to ask you a question. What did my master do that you have to send soldiers to arrest him?”
Chapter 428
Registus did not answer the question.
He pulled his fishing rod up, moved to another spot, and started fishing again.
He hooked the bait, tossed the line, and then casually said, “20 years ago, there was an influential family that got wiped out here in Kiyoto. Hundreds died overnight.
“Nonsense!” Andrius bellowed. “My master won the first prize in the previous competition. Isn’t it normal for him to be interested in this year’s competition? Your Majesty, if you claimed that my master is involved in that crime, do you have any evidence to prove it?”
