Chapter 511
“First, your stomach will hurt as if you are giving birth. Then, you will feel a stinging pain in your heart as if a million fire ants are biting you. You will bleed from every orifice on your face, and your limbs will start to
wither.
“Finally, your body will rot, and nothing can bring you back from there on!”
As the masked man’s voice subsided, many of the guests looked pale.
“Ugh! My stomach! It hurts!”
“Me too! It suddenly hurts!”
“Aaarghh!”
Then, many more guests started to have terrible stomachaches. It started a chain effect, and soon everyone was suffering from pain.
No one was excluded. Even Angus, Luna, and Dr. Artemis were poisoned.
Some of the guests passed out due to the excruciating pain, and they started foaming and twitching uncontrollably.
“Calm down!”
Angus, as the president of the East River State Medical Society and the host of the event, was forced to try to placate everyone.
“There are many specialists and doctors there, I’m sure we can cure this poison…”
Unfortunately, Angus was unable to finish his sentence as the pain brought him down to his knees. He looked excruciatingly tortured.
Swoosh!
Fwoosh!
Thwip!
Many of the doctors, specialists, doctors, and even ministers brought out their silver needles and started to cure themselves.
Dr. Artemis tried acupuncture on himself. However, after poking two needles into himself, the pain got worse, and he was drenched in sweat.
Angus managed to get two needles into himself too, but the pain brought him down to the floor, causing him to curl up like a cooked shrimp.
The other doctors and specialists had it worse. Some started to bleed while some fell to the floor and twitched uncontrollably.
“Hahaha!” The masked man cackled. “I heard that the traditional medical skills of Florence are amazing. It can bring back the dead and cure whatever sickness. Now, it seems like every one of you is a piece of sh*t!”
The masked man glared at all the doctors and specialists scornfully, showing nothing but contempt for them. “From what I see, the doctors of Florence are nothing! All of you are better off dead so that you won’t trick and lie to others! Hahaha!”
The provocation and teasing infuriated many of the doctors and specialists, but since not a single one of
them was able to cure the poison, they had no words to argue, let alone the strength to fight back.
The doctors and specialists kept trying to save their own lives and also their dignity.
Unfortunately, as seconds passed, the situation got worse.
Angus failed all his attempts to save himself and had fallen into despair. Even the president of the East River State Medical Society failed, not to mention the others.
Despair spread like a contagious virus.
Angus wanted to turn the situation around but simply couldn’t. Suddenly a sudden epiphany struck!
The Wolf King!
Only the Wolf King could save everyone!
Angus got up on his knees and mustered all his strength to shout, “Wolf King, please save us! For the doctors of the medical field in Sumeria and also the dignity of the traditional medicine of Florence!”
His words reminded everyone that the Wolf King was present!
The Wolf King, who had unrivaled power and medical skills, was at the venue!
If there was one man who could save them all, it would be the Wolf King!
“Wolf King, please save the medical field of Sumeria!”
“Wolf King, please save the pride of Florence’s medicine!”
Everyone knelt on the floor, devoted, sincere, and expectant.
Then, a loud voice sounded, echoing across the room. “As you wish!”
Everyone looked toward the origin of the voice and saw a figure standing at the end of the red carpet. The spotlight from behind him made him look holistic as if he was the bringer of hope and light!

Chapter
512
It was Andrius!
Angus was thrilled! He forced himself to bow and said, “Wolf King, please save us all from this terrible situation!”
“Wolf King, please save Sumeria from this terrible crisis!”
Everyone chanted in unison, except for a few.
Halle was not a doctor, so she did not simply poke needles into her body, hence her condition was a lot
better than the others who tried.
When she looked up and saw Andrius, she was shocked.
Andrius was the Wolf King!
A plethora of thoughts flooded her mind instantly. From the first meeting, she saw him as a caveman, yet he was able to easily win the race.
Then, the incident with Roy Holland, the Royal Gardens, and so on… Everything that had happened made her fall for him inevitably.
She asked him to marry her after he divorced Luna and even teased him earlier!
What had she done?!
She forcefully kissed the Wolf King and asked him if he had touched a woman!
When the realization struck, Halle realized how wild and crazy she had been!
She had been challenging the Wolf King’s patience and bottom line!
She felt numb but only for a moment before exhilaration kicked in.
Halle felt like she was on cloud nine.
She kissed the Wolf King!
She actually kissed the Wolf King!
What the hell! She felt like she was in heaven!
Then, there were Dr. Artemis and Lyra, who were similarly shocked but grateful.
Andrius was the Wolf King!
Dr. Artemis stared at the figure blankly.
No wonder Andrius knew the Hades‘ Pin!
No wonder Andrius had the Thirteen Ghost Gates technique!
No wonder he cared so much about helping the soldiers!
He was the Wolf King!
Dr. Artemis finally spotted the obvious details along the way. He regained his composure but remained shocked.
Lyra’s eyes shimmered like the stars in the sky. She knew that Mr. Doctor was not just anyone. She had asked her grandfather before whose medical skills were better–the Wolf King or Mr. Doctor–and she
strongly believed that it was Mr. Doctor.
It turned out that they were both the same person!
Dr. Artemis and Lyra finally learned the truth!
If Andrius was the Wolf King, it was not that surprising that he possessed such amazing medical skills
Halle also understood why Andrius could live in the Royal Gardens and could handle every situation with a frivolous attitude.
He was the Wolf King!
The wealthy families and dignitaries were nothing to him!
While a number of the guests were astonished to find out about Andrius‘ true identity, he walked casually on the red carpet.
“Wolf King, I’ve been waiting for you.”
The masked man stared at Andrius. He had actually fought Andrius before and knew exactly how strong Andrius was.
Therefore, even with the situation leaning towards him, he did not have a hundred percent confidence to beat Andrius.
“Cyclops, you planned this for a long time, didn’t you?” Andrius said emotionlessly, his gaze turning cold.
Cyclops remained a threat for as long as he was allowed to live.
“As long as I can kill you, even if I have to plan for three years or five years, I wouldn’t mind,” Cyclops said without being too concerned.
“Kill me? You overestimate yourself. I will be the one killing you today!” Andrius bellowed fiercely.
As soon as his voice subsided, he darted forward aggressively. His leap was so strong that it cracked the floor beneath his feet when he moved. He flew towards Cyclops like a bullet.
Crack!
Cyclops tilted his body and took half a step to the right, entering a defensive stance.
At the same time, his muscles were tightened. His arms, legs, chest, and abdomen bulged and tore his clothes to pieces.
Before he came to the venue, he injected himself with Tartan’s newest genetic enhancer, boosting his power within a short period of time and increasing his endurance greatly. It was because of the potion that he was granted the confidence to fight Andrius again.
Swoosh!
As soon as Cyclops entered his defensive stance, Andrius was already in front of him, like a tiger leaping at its prey. He was furious.
Bang!
He threw a punch at Cyclops‘ front.
Cyclops wanted to test his strength after injecting himself with the potion, so he chose to take the punch head–on.
However, when their fists clashed, Cyclops was pushed back three steps while Andrius remained still as a monolith.
Chapter 512
3/3
Andrius was much stronger and fiercer than he was in the valley last night!
“You held back your strength last night?!”
Cyclops‘ expression turned bitter. He thought that Andrius had fought with his full strength last night, but to his surprise, Andrius was much more terrifying.
Even with the potion, he was still not Andrius‘ match. He felt helpless.
The Wolf King was indeed the strongest in Florence.
“Shut up and die!” Andrius grunted and jumped on him again.
Andrius did not hold back this time. He used both his punches and kicks, launching a flurry of attacks at Cyclops.
The barrage of punches and kicks was relentless. Even with the potion injected, Cyclops was swiftly pushed into a disadvantageous position under the relentless attacks.
Bang!
Following a punch landed on Cyclops‘ chest, he was sent flying like a ragdoll, crashing onto the ground. He did a flip and continued to slide for a few meters before he regained his balance.
“Cyclops…” Andrius stared at Cyclops coldly as he walked closer. His tone sounded cold. “You disrupted the peace and order of Florence multiple times and caused this. How do you want to die?”
As soon as his voice subsided, intense killing intent shrouded the stage.
Everyone felt chills running down their backs as if they had fallen into an icy abyss.
“Cough, cough.” Cyclops struggled to get onto his feet. He spat a mouthful of blood and grinned ominously. “Wolf King, do you really think this is all I’ve got?”
Andrius‘ pupils shrank in shock as a bad feeling rose in his heart.
“Look behind you!” Cyclops pointed behind Andrius and widened his grin.
Andrius turned around and saw the unconscious Luna standing up.
Right after she got on her feet, she headed towards Cyclops.
Chapter 513
“Luna?”
Andrius tried rousing her with his voice, but Luna did not respond.
Luna did not even look at him. She lifelessly walked towards Cyclops. Her limbs seemed stiff, her eyes were out of focus and she was not her usual self. She was like a walking corpse! Like a machine or a puppet controlled by a puppeteer!
Swoosh.
Andrius swung both his hands in the air and silver streaks of light lit up the space around him.
The silver streaks of light, which were needles, poked into Luna’s acupoints and swiftly stopped her
movement.
Andrius then put her back on the chair and started to take her pulse.
“You… put a spell on her?!”
Andrius expression shifted when he sensed something tinkering with Luna’s brain. It was a type of voodoo witchcraft that involved inserting a special type of worm into the body.
The brain was the most meticulous and most important organ of the body, and nothing should ever happen to it. The slightest tinkering with the brain would cause one to lose the memories, or worse, turn the person into a mindless retard. The worst outcome would be death.
Even though Andrius had amazing medical skills, he was unable to cure Luna right away.
However, he did not want to give up and continued poking needles into her body.
Swoosh!
The silver needles were inserted into Luna’s body. Multiple streaks of silver light poked exactly into the correct acupoints.
The needles wobbled and glinted sharply.
Andrius frowned heavily. He might be able to stop the voodoo worm, but he was not able to kill it or expel it right away.
“Stop wasting your energy.” Cyclops ridiculed and teased, “I put the Castilan Voodoom Worm into her drink, and it’s already in her brain now. If you can’t cure it within a certain period of time, the worm will eat her brain. Then…”
His gaze turned frantic as he scoffed. “She will die a terrible and slow death. I bet it will be a scene to look forward to! And, you can only cure the spell with a specific antidote. Nothing else works. Hahahaha!”
Cyclops cackled wickedly and frantically. Being able to put the Wolf King in such a difficult situation was exhilarating for him.
Andrius ignored him and continued testing his methods.
Nothing worked, which made him feel terrible.
The other doctors and specialists did not say a word and the entire hall was silenced.
Cyclops clearly sensed the killing intent in Andrius‘ eyes but was not afraid at all. He ridiculed, “Wolf King, I thought you hated me and wanted to kill me! Too bad! You can’t do it! If you kill me, this woman will die
in half an hour!
Chapter
“What is it going to be? Beg me? Hahahaha!“
Chapter 514
Andrius temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, “Cyclops, what do you want?”
“Am I hearing this right? The prestigious and Invincible Wolf King is surrendering? Am I right?” Cyclops did not answer the question directly. Instead, he cackled and said, “This is great! This is intoxicating! The Wolf King of Florence, the invincible Wolf King is surrendering to me! How exhilarating! Hahaha!”
Andrius took a deep breath to calm himself down. He had escaped from the clutches of death countless times and fought countless bloody battles. He had actually faced a similar situation many times before.
“You are after me.” Andrius‘ expression looked more relaxed, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. “Cyclops, name your terms. How can I get the antidote?”
“It’s simple.” Cyclops dared not further challenge Andrius‘ patience because he knew the Wolf King would really kill him.
He took out a vial of green liquid and tossed it to Andrius. “This is a vial of poison, crafted by a hundred types of venoms. Once consumed, it will seal off all your acupoints, and no matter how strong you are, you can never use your strength anymore.
“This poison spreads rather quickly as well. It only takes ten breaths for it to reach your heart and brain. It will torture the person to death easily. It’s actually known as the strongest poison in the world. Drink it and I will cure the woman.”
Cyclops showed anticipation.
If he could kill the Wolf King this easily, it would be great; if the Wolf King refused, then it would send a message to the world that the Wolf King failed to protect the woman he loved and his reputation would be tarnished.
“Are you a man of your word?” Andrius was emotionless as he held the vial of poison.
“Man of my word.” Cyclops put his hand out and said, “I swear on my name that if you consume the poison in front of me, I will cure the woman of her voodoo spell.”
“Fine.”
Andrius flicked the cork away with his finger.
Everyone else was worried.
Halle, Dr. Artemis, Lyra, Angus, and everyone else were nervous as they watched Andrius‘ every move.
They hoped Andrius would not fall for Cyclops‘ evil plan, but they also hoped he could save Luna, or else his reputation would be tarnished.
“What are you waiting for, Wolf King?”
Andrius did not drink the poison immediately.
Cyclops bellowed, “Could it be that the Wolf King can’t protect the woman he loves after protecting his country and people? I will count to three. If you haven’t drunk it, don’t blame me for not keeping my promise.”
Cyclops glared at Andrius wickedly and put three of his fingers up.
“Three.
“Two.
“One.
“Time’s up!” Cyclops scoffed and said, “It seems like the Wolf King is a coward. I miscalculated!”
Then, Cyclops wanted to snap his finger to activate the voodoo worm in Luna’s brain.
Andrius suddenly said, “Wait!”
Cyclops looked at Andrius scornfully and clicked his tongue. “What is it now? Are you going to drink it?”
Andrius stared at Cyclops coldly. “Cyclops, I hope you will keep your promise or I will make sure you suffer!”
Then, Andrius drank the vial of poison to its last drop as Cyclops watched gleefully.
Chapter 515
Gulp!
The gulp from Andrius‘ throat when he drank the poison was clearly heard.
Everyone reacted with a complicated expression. Some respected him, some were worried, and some were fearful.
The Wolf King lived up to his name. He would rather suffer than sacrifice Luna. As a husband, he had already won.
However, when he consumed the poison, Cyclops would have control over him.
Their fate would be in Cyclops‘ hands, and whether they died or lived depended on him. They felt terrible and aggrieved.
Halle looked at Andrius with a complicated gaze.
Other than worry, she had another thought in her mind–did Andrius really feel nothing for Luna?
If it was her in Luna’s position, would Andrius do the same?
Lyra also faced a complicated situation when she saw Andrius‘ resolution.
Other than worry, she also thought of another serious question. If he drank the poison because he wanted to save Luna, were they still pretending to be husband and wife like her grandfather claimed?
“Great!”
A loud voice echoed across the hall, breaking the silence.
Cyclops clapped his hands, seemingly relaxed. “Wolf King, I admire your resolution. I’m impressed.”
He believed that Andrius‘ life was already on a countdown as soon as he drank the poison.
His plan worked! He would be killing the Wolf King soon! He would enjoy endless glory and it would be a prestigious achievement that he could carry for life!
“Cyclops.” Andrius toyed with the empty vial as he narrowed his eyes at Cyclops. “Time to keep your promise.”
“Wolf King, don’t worry.” Cyclops had everything under control. He smiled and said, “If you are this cooperative, I will play along too.”
He then walked over to Luna.
Cyclops grinned. “I can’t let her die yet. I want her to see how I kill the Wolf King! It must be beautiful and meaningful!”
Andrius did not care about what he said.
Cyclops then fed Luna a pill. “There, the antidote.“
He dared not lower his guard against Andrius despite already having the situation under control.
After all, the Wolf King’s reputation was well–known, and there was no point in him challenging the Wolf King anymore. He was afraid that the Wolf King would counter at the very last minute which would cost him his life.
Andrius checked on Luna.
After multiple checks and verification, Andrius noticed that the voodoo worm in Luna’s brain had disappeared.
Due to the after–effects though, she was not able to wake up instantly.
Cyclops smiled charmingly and said, “I am a man of my word, Wolf King.”
“You are.” Andrius nodded and then said, “So, how do you want to die?”
What did he mean?
Chapter 516
“I admit that I am not your match during your prime. Even if I cultivate for 100 years and borrow another 500 years from God, I won’t be able to beat you. But now, I am not afraid of you!” Cyclops sounded confident. He believed he still had the situation under control.
“But…” Andrius then grinned provocatively. “It’s already been two minutes. Do you think I look like I am poisoned?”
Cyclops‘ heart skipped a beat and his expression froze. He sized Andrius up from top to bottom and saw no signs of him being in a poisoned state.
It must be fake! The Wolf King was trying to bluff him!
Andrius smiled. “Well, let’s try shall we? Let’s see if I am bluffing. I guarantee you you won’t be disappointed.”
“Die!”
After exchanging a palm strike, Cyclops did a backflip in the air before he darted away faster than before. It was just a feint for him to escape.
“Wolf King, you are indeed powerful, but one day I will kill you and end your legend!” Cyclops‘ delighted
voice came from the air.
The palm strike was just to test if Andrius was really poisoned.
If he was frightened away just because of Andrius‘ claims, he would be the joke of the century and he would be aggrieved.
If Andrius was already poisoned, he should be able to know.
If Andrius was not poisoned, he could use the palm strike to launch himself away to escape.
“Run?” Andrius‘ eyes glinted coldly. He roared, “You ruined the event and you are trying to flee? Too late!”
Chapter 517
As soon as his voice subsided, several streaks of silver light flashed in the air and struck Cyclops.
Cyclops‘ body froze and fell down from the wall, paralyzed.
“Wolf King, you…”
Cyclops was mortified. He tried to speak, but Andrius went up and snapped his neck.
Those who were still awake saw the scene and felt an instant relief.
He did not hate the invaders or the enemies, but he despised his own people who betrayed the country. and helped the enemies to hurt one of their own.
Andrius barely killed anyone since he returned from the Western Front Line.
However, he did not hold back when he killed the assassins last night. All he left behind were those who would surrender more information, and it was the sole reason he kept them alive.
“Wolf King…” Angus looked passionate and eager. “Thank you for helping us today, or else this would
have ended as a tragedy. Leave the trivial matters to me. I will find out who Cyclops‘ accomplices are, and the law will punish them!”
Andrius nodded. He and Halle then sent Luna to the hospital.
Meanwhile, in a VIP room, Dick and Colin were having fun eating and drinking.
“Dad, Luna is dead this time! With that man’s help, we will take over the family! Then we will become the richest family in Sumeria!” Colin took a sip from his wine, looking intoxicated.
“Of course.” Dick clinked his glass with his son and laughed.
Then, a voice rang out behind them. “You two should wake up from your dream now!”
Shocked, the two of them turned around.
It was Angus!
“Dick Crestfall, Colin Crestfall, you two poisoned the beverages at the dinner and disrupted public order and peace. You are involved in attempted murder and treason for colluding with foreign enemies to threaten national security. Take them down!” Angus shouted, and his men went up to seize Dick and
“No! I didn’t!”
The police cruisers were waiting outside the entrance. After they were tossed in, the police cruisers drove off.
Chapter 518
At Centro Hospital, Andrius and Halle stood beside Luna’s bed.
Neither of them spoke.
Andrius had no words, and Halle did not know what to say. She was having a difficult time processing her complicated feelings.
“Oh, right…” Luna thought of Dick and Colin. She asked, “Halle, did you see Uncle Dick and Colin? Are they fine?”
