Chapter 542
In a fit of rage, Registus kicked everything in his sight, destroying the entire hall.
No one said a word or dared to breathe.
Registus gasped for breath with an ashen face. He looked at the Second War God and the Warzone Masters below and asked, “Tell me, what should we do next?”
The group looked at each other but did not dare to speak immediately.
“Your Majesty, since we’ve already taken the first step, let’s just continue.”
It was the Second War God who stood up. He understood how terrifying Andrius was and was now at odds with him. His desire to deal with Andrius grew even stronger.
That suggestion struck Registus.
He shouted coldly, “What do you have in mind?”
A ruthless light flashed on the Second War God’s face. “The Lycantroops belong to Florence, and to you.
“This time, the Lycantroops went into battle without your degree and slaughtered the Western Nations‘ troops. It will undoubtedly cause a negative impact internationally. Your Majesty, you can use this as an excuse and…”
The Second War God trailed off.
Registus was intrigued and urged, “Go on.”
“As long as…” The Second War God leaned close to Registus‘ ear and whispered the rest of his plan softly.
Registus raised his brows, and a smile appeared on his face.
After hearing his suggestion, Registus made up his mind and shouted loudly. “Pass down my order! Summon the Imperial Guards at once and accompany me to the Lycantroops‘ base!”
At the Lycantroops‘ base, the intense battles throughout the night had left Andrius physically and mentally
exhausted.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, he slept until it was dark outside.
When he woke up, it was already past seven in the evening.
As soon as he came out of the room, he heard Noelle’s voice. “Mr. Moonshade, are you awake?”
She had been waiting outside for him.
In addition to that, there was a sumptuous dinner prepared on the table.
Noelle followed Andrius‘ gaze and said softly, “I woke up earlier, so I made some dishes. I don’t know if they’ll suit your taste.”
Andrius was a bit stunned.
This arrogant woman had such culinary skills?
Furthermore, her tone had become so soft and gentle…
It was a stark difference.
“Okay. I’ll go wash up first.”
Even if he was surprised, he could not waste the food.
“I’ve prepared a basin of hot water. The blue towel hanging on top has been washed, so you can use it,”
Noelle said from behind.
Andrius really did not expect this woman to be so attentive to details.
She was incredibly attentive!
He hesitated for a moment before going in.
Watching his back, Noelle clenched her fists and encouraged herself.
Then, they began to eat. They could not help but devour the food after not eating anything all day.
After Andrius felt his stomach become more satisfied, he thought about what happened last time when Noelle misunderstood Marcus. He spoke frankly. “Noelle. I believe you also know that that incident was a misunderstanding. Don’t blame Marcus anymore. He’s not only a good mayor but also a good father ”
Noelle listened carefully until he finished speaking, then nodded and said, “I’ve already apologized to him this afternoon. We’re… doing well now.”
Andrius nodded and did not say much. Then, he continued eating.
As they ate, Noelle suddenly put her fork down, stared at Andrius, and said seriously. Thank you, Mr.
Moonshade!”
Andrius waved his hand dismissively. “No… Mmph-”
He truly did not expect this.
Noelle took advantage of him speaking to kiss him without warning. She was really aggressive.
Andrius was caught off–guard and taken by surprise.
“You…”
He quickly broke free from her grasp. He instinctively moved back and looked at her warily
After Noelle kissed him, she felt surprised at her own courage.
However, after the surprise, she felt joy.
She kissed the Wolf King!
She, Noelle Freely, kissed the Wolf King!
Noelle looked at Andrius boldly. She did not avoid his gaze but licked her lips with relish instead.
The scene was quite awkward.
“Mr. Moonshade…”
At first, Noelle’s emotions surged like waves, and she was extremely excited. After calming down a bit, she was about to express her heartfelt thoughts.
“Wolf King!”
At that moment, a commander from the Lycantroops rushed in a panic, even losing one of his shoes from running. “Just now, the emperor led the Imperial Guards to the Lycantroops‘ base!
“He also gave a degree, ordering the execution of the four generals who participated in this campaign!”
Chapter 543
Registus wanted to kill the Lycantroops generals?
Crack…
The bowl in Andrius‘ hand turned into powder on the spot as anger erupted in his heart.
Every general of the Lycantroops was a brave and skilled warrior with outstanding achievements They were the pillars of Florence and the backbone of the nation!
How could Registus casually execute them?
“Lead the way!”
At the execution ground, the wind was cold, and the atmosphere was desolate.
Registus sat on the platform.
Behind him were the Second War God and the Warzone Masters. They were surrounded by fully–armed Imperial Guards.
On the execution ground, the generals who participated in the Lycantroops‘ expedition were kneeling, bound in special chains.
Registus looked down at the generals below and shouted coldly. “The Lycantroops belong to Florence. and thus belong to me! It is not your private army, nor do you have the right to show it off!
“You all dared to deploy a large army without my orders and acted recklessly, committing a massacre on Camelback Mountain, causing extremely negative consequences internationally.
“This is treason! This is rebellion!
“Now, I order that you all be beheaded in public. Are there any objections?”
Although it was out of desperation that Registus wanted to kill these people to force Andrius to show his hand, his performance was perfect. At least, he would not lose authority amongst the Lycantroops.
In the future, he would be able to control the Lycantroops without strong resistance.
“I object, Your Majesty!” The first general on the left raised his head and looked at Registus with bloodshot eyes. “We only went to rescue the Wolf King. What was our crime?”
Even at this point, he still protected Andrius…
Registus‘ expression turned extremely gloomy, and he shouted angrily, “Andrius Moonshade is no longer the Wolf King. He is just an ordinary citizen of Florence! He has no privileges or special treatment.”
The general was speechless.
Registus then immediately shouted, “Since none of you have anything to say, then heed my command – execute them without mercy!”
“I dare you!”
Just then, an angry voice resounded throughout the scene.
As the crowd parted, a figure with a chilling aura approached in the night,
It was Andrius
I
Andrius stared at Registus with cold eyes and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, I may no longer hold the position of the Wolf King, but Marcus Freely is still the mayor of Sumeria!
“He was captured by the Western Nations. It’s only right for the Lycantroops to rescue him!
“There are two sentences on the Florence passport: ‘No matter where you are, you have the powerful Florence behind you!‘ and ‘No matter where you are and what difficulties you encounter, Florence will bring you back home!‘
“Are those words just empty talk?”
Registus was speechless.
That was what the founding fathers of Florence hoped for. It was the glory forged together by countless martyrs. Registus naturally did not dare to refute it.
“So…” Andrius gradually approached, and the brilliance in his eyes became even more dazzling. “The Lycantroops did nothing wrong by rescuing Marcus Freely!
“On the contrary, the Western Nations have been ambitious and repeatedly caused chaos at Florence’s borders. They’re just mice, but they dare to provoke the might of Florence. They should be ruthlessly dealt
with.
“The Lycantroops did well and achieved a clean victory!
“The soldiers showed their momentum and the prestige of Florence. They’re the perfect embodiment of the supreme majesty and invincibility of Florence and should be rewarded instead!
“At the same time, it’ll also announce to the world that whoever offends Florence will be killed, regardless of distance!”
The words were impassioned with solid reasoning and instantly ignited the enthusiasm and morale of the Lycantroops generals present.
“Those who offend Florence will be killed!”
“Those who offend Florence will be killed!”
“Those who offend Florence…”
The morale of the Lycantroops generals reached its peak.
Registus had long since turned pale. He never expected that Andrius would take control of the situation and ignite the flames in the Lycantroops generals with just a few words.
At that moment, Registus became even more aware that if he did not get rid of Andrius, the Lycantroops would always be a thorn in his side!
Only by killing Andrius, the supreme Wolf King, and taking control of this powerful army could he sleep peacefully.
“Andrius Moonshade, you’re a commoner. You have no place to meddle in matters of the military and the country.” Registus sneered, denying everything that Andrius said with one sentence. “Marcus Freely is not worth the mobilization of the Lycantroops.”
“Even if it was a rescue operation, it should be me who gives the orders for the Spec Ops forces to go to the mayor’s rescue.
“Now, the Western Nations have lost a hundred thousand soldiers. The ministry has been receiving calls non–stop, and there’s also large–scale turmoil on the western border…
“Someone has to take responsibility for all of this!”
At those words, Registus glanced at Andrius and sneered, “This responsibility is not something you can bear. It must be borne by them.”
Of course, he wanted to kill Andrius.
However, the timing was not right, and he could not kill Andrius anyway. Thus, he had to slowly twist the circumstances in his favor.
“Registus Ohger!”
Andrius was truly angry. He knew that Registus was doing this on purpose. He glared fiercely at Registus. His eyes were cold and gloomy. “What do you want for you to let them go?”
There it was!
A glimmer of light flashed in Registus‘ eyes.
Then, he stared at Andrius and said with a hint of coldness, “I’ll give you two choices, Andrius Moonshade.
“One, I can reinstate your position as the Wolf King. That way, it is reasonable for the Lycantroops to destroy a hundred thousand soldiers in a rage in order to save you.
“However, the condition is that you can no longer interfere in Vintus Hagstorm’s affairs, and you can no longer continue to investigate the truth behind the massacre of the Klein family.”
Sure enough, it was that!
Andrius‘ hunch about there being something fishy about the massacre of the Kleins, and that it had something to do with Registus, grew even stronger.
“Two, the former Wolf King of Florence, Andrius Moonshade, died in the battle on Camelback Mountain last night, causing the Lycantroops to riot and slaughter the hundred thousand soldiers who participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Wolf King.
“From now on, the Wolf King, Andrius Moonshade, no longer exists in Florence. You must disappear from the world!”
This was Registus‘ true goal.
It was either Andrius withdrawing from that matter, or Andrius handing the Lycantroops over.
No matter which he chose, Registus was the final winner. This was the plan that the Second War God suggested to him.
“I choose…”
Andrius knew about Registus‘ plot, but in order to find out the truth of that year and save Old
Hagstorm, he resolutely said, “The latter.”
“Good! It’s settled.” Registus clapped his hands and laughed, announcing loudly, “From today onward, Florence no longer has Andrius Moonshade, the Wolf King!
“Remember… No one can mention the words ‘Wolf King‘ and ‘Andrius Moonshade‘ in the same sentence ever again. Otherwise, they will be sentenced to death without mercy!
“Andrius Moonshade, I will erect a tombstone for you in the Martyrs‘ Hall in the west for the people to pay respects to you.
“At the same time, I’ll inform the whole country to fly the flags at half–mast for you for three days. I will give you the highest honor and glory of Florence.
“Don’t disappoint me.”
After saying that, Registus‘ lips curled into a triumphant smile as he left with the War Gods, Warzone Masters, and countless Imperial Guards.
Flying the flags at half–mast…
Normally, it would be the highest honor and affirmation.
However, when Registus said it, it was nothing more than another plot to prevent him from turning the tables.
Andrius sneered.
On his way back to Kiyoto, Registus turned around and patted the Second War God’s shoulder, saying, “Now that Andrius has completely disappeared from Florence, you should quickly take control of the Lycantroops. With the Lycantroops in my hands, I can finally sleep peacefully.”
The Second War God longed for this and immediately said confidently, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. As long as Andrius doesn’t interfere anymore, I guarantee that I’ll firmly control the Lycantroops within three months!”
Registus nodded in satisfaction.
Three months might be a bit long, but it would pass by in the blink of an eye.
Next, he had to think about how to deal with Vintus.
“However, Your Majesty, Andrius registered for the Grand Medicinal Competition. If he reaches the top of the Heavenly Ranking, it would also be troublesome. What should we do?”
He wanted to get rid of Andrius, so he naturally did not want the latter to participate in the Grand Medicinal Competition.
Registus glanced at him and said in displeasure, “The Wolf King is dead, so Andrius‘ registration for the Grand Medicinal Competition in the Wolf King’s name is naturally invalid. Do you still need me to teach you how to stop him from participating in the Grand Medicinal Competition?”
The Second War God had a sudden realization.
Yes!
Andrius was no longer the Wolf King, so it would be easy to deal with hirn!
Before the Second War God could respond, Registus leaned in and whispered something in a
low voice.
The Second War God suddenly understood.
Then, he and Registus exchanged a look and laughed. It was a hearty chuckle.
Chapter 545
At the Lycantroops base, the generals were filled with righteous indignation. “Wolf King, what do we do now?
“Wolf King, the emperor clearly has ill intentions. Why did you..”
“Wolf King…”
Everyone could tell that Registus was deliberately targeting Andrius
Andrius looked at the eight generals and instructed them, “From now on, you all will handle the matters of the Lycantroops on your own. Don’t worry about me. Everything will become clear when the truth is revealed ”
Then, he left without waiting for their instructions.
After getting off the plane in Sumeria, Andrius returned to Celestial Enterprise.
In the President’s office, Sonia’s eyes were red. She leaned on the desk, but there was no trace of vitality in her it was as if she had long been dead inside.
The laptop screen in front of her was still on.
The screen displayed news of the Wolf King’s death in the battle at Camelback Mountain.
At that moment, Andrius walked into the office
“M–Mr Moonshade?”
Sonia saw Andrius and was stunned for a moment. She hesitantly opened her mouth, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and confirmed repeatedly
Was it Andrius?
It was him!
Sonia could not hold back anymore as tears streamed down her face. “Mr. Moonshade, it… it really is you. I thought you were already…….”
“Already what?” Andrius asked.
The only thing she had to do was manage Celestial Enterprise well in his absence. It was just like in ancient times when the woman took care of the house while the man went out to battle.
1 understand.” After knowing that Andrius was fine, Sonia felt much more at ease and nodded heavily.
“Also, if Luna comes looking for me, don’t say anything and just give her this box.”
Andrius took out a sandalwood brocade box and handed it to Sonia who nodded and kept it.
Andrius went back to the Royal Gardens.
Since Registus was determined to stop him from investigating the events of the past, it meant that there was something from the past that Registus did not want him to know.
In that case, Andrius had to uncover the truth.
The next day, Luna arrived at Celestial Enterprise early in the morning.
It was a medical book.
Sonia handed her a tissue and gently patted her in comfort. “Ms. Crestfall, the Wolf King entrusted this medical book to you because he had high hopes. My condolences! Don’t disappoint him.
Luna was instantly shocked upon hearing those words. She looked at Sonia with determination.
Yes.
Even at the most critical moment, the Wolf King still cared about her and prepared this medical book for her. What reason did she have to remain in despair?
She had to change.
She needed to carry on the Wolf King’s legacy!
“Thank you, Ms. Timberland.” Luna wiped away her tears and looked resolute. “As you said, the Wolf King
had high hopes for me. I can’t stay in the dumps like this. I’ll be going now.”
Luna gathered herself and picked up the medical book before turning to leave.

Chapter 547
Fortunately, after a while, perhaps from exhaustion or slightly more stable emotions, Halle finally stopped crying.
However, he was only a little moved.
What did that mean?
Lyra secretly wiped her eyes with a tissue and shouted with a sob, “Mr. Doctor, what happened? Why did the news say that you…”
Chapter 548
“Thank you, Dr. Artemis.”
Andrius was just about to leave.
“Mr. Doctor…” Lyra gathered her courage and grabbed Andrius‘ sleeve. “Eat here before you go. I told you so many times, but you always say you don’t have the time…..”
Lyra’s eyes stared at him as if they could speak, and they carried a hint of resentment,
Ever since Thedus found out that Andrius was the Wolf King, this was the first time he called Andrius by name. “Andrius, just stay for a meal. It won’t take much time. Lyra cried all day when she read the news online and didn’t get much sleep…”
Sure enough, there was a hint of fatigue and weariness on the teenage girl’s face. His heart softened, and he agreed. “All right, I’ll try Lyra’s cooking.”
Soon, the table was filled with fragrant dishes. It was a sumptuous spread that was colorful, fragrant, and delicious.
He could not help but feel helpless as he looked at Lyra, who was still preparing to give him more food.
“Huh?” She looked at him in surprise and a hint of disappointment, “Mr. Doctor, is my cooking not good?”
“No, no!” Andrius quickly said, “Your cooking is great, Lyra, but I’m really full.”
“Mr. Doctor, where do you plan to go next? I’ll drive you there.”
Just as Andrius got into the car, Luna’s Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Artemis‘ Clinic.
Luna was momentarily stunned when she saw Andrius‘ back.
