Chapter 341
It was unknown who said that, but the scene instantly exploded.
“Exactly. Do you think you’re hot stuff? The times are different. Sonia Timberland, it’s the end of the Timberlands.”
“Sonia, don’t you always think highly of yourself? Why did you come to Mr. Mitchell’s birthday banquet today? You look calm on the surface, but you must be trying to fawn over him in secret, right?”
“That’s right! Now, Simon–Tooke has the governor behind him, and apparently, even the captain of the Shadow Wolves will come. Sonia won’t dare to go against Simon–Tooke even if she was made of guts!”
“Hahaha…”
The ladies all cackled at those words. Their laughter was loud and arrogant. They were all Sean’s admirers.
However, their feelings were unrequited. Sean only liked Sonia and never even looked at ladies. like them in the past.
When Celestial Enterprise was established and absorbed the capital’s Crestfalls‘ and the Miller family’s assets, and got the Timberland family to also join forces, the ladies got even more jealous of Sonia since she was the leader of Celestial Enterprise.
In the end, at Celestial Enterprise’s opening ceremony, soldiers appeared and cleaned. people who came to cause trouble. News that Celestial Enterprise was involved with the military spread all over Sumeria.

the
The fame and power of the Timberland family and Sonia also reached their peak at that time.
These ladies could not match her at all and did not even have the mind to resist, much less show any displeasure on their faces.
Furthermore, there were some who contacted Sonia privately, hoping to rely on her to obtain
benefits.
Now…
The situation and roles were reversed.
The Timberland family, Sonia, and Celestial Enterprise were in jeopardy.
On the other hand, Simon–Tooke was soaring and was on track to reigning supreme in Sumeria, and even the whole East River State.
Therefore, the ladies were thrilled. They spoke sinister and mocking words as soon as they caught Sonia.
“Sonia.”
Among the ladies was a girl called Bella Tremmell.
She used to dislike Sonia very much in the past, so she seized the opportunity to mock Sonia. ” It only takes one wrong move to end in total defeat. Your family joining Celestial Enterprise.
really was that wrong move. However…
“We’re all from Sumeria’s upper society, so we won’t just stand by and watch as you, the pearl of Sumeria, end up begging on the roadside. Why don’t I give you an idea?”
Just by looking at her expression, Sonia knew that Bella would not say anything good. She could not be bothered with her.
However, Sonia’s reaction made Bella even more smug. She looked at Sean next to her and said. teasingly, “Sonia, as long as you’re willing to be Mr. Sean’s lover… You have curves in all the right places, so you will certainly serve him well.”
Bella also felt a twinge of jealousy when she said this. However, that jealousy soon turned into boundless joy. “If Sean is happy… your family might still have food on your table!”
After saying that, she laughed loudly without regard for her image.
Even Sean laughed. His eyes narrowed slightly, obviously looking forward to it.
No matter how good Sonia’s self–restraint was, she could not help the trace of anger that appeared on her pretty face when she heard those words.
Andrius immediately snickered. He looked at the people in front of him and rolled his eyes. Do you really think that Simon–Tooke will soar just like that?
LL
“I have to say that you’re really blind. Can’t you see that Simon–Tooke will disappear soon?”
Andrius‘ words made these rich young masters and ladies stare blankly at first, then they started to laugh.
After a long time, they slowly came back to their senses one by one. “Where did this idiot come from? How dare you talk nonsense here?”
“Sonia, is your friend crazy? How dare he speak ill of Simon–Tooke like this? I’m telling you, you’d better rein him in well. I’m afraid he’ll die on the spot if Mr. Mitchell hears him!”
“It’s clear at a glance that this guy is an idiot. He doesn’t know sh*t but dares to talk nonsense here. He must have a death wish.”
“Forget it, don’t get worked up over an idiot…”

Led by Bella, the ladies all scoffed.
Sean also mocked, “Even the governor has to show respect and attend in person when Simon- Tooke hosts a birthday banquet. Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize Simon- Tooke?
“I might as well tell you now. The purpose of today’s banquet is to target Celestial Enterprise. Celestial Enterprise has already become the mark of public criticism. They’ll be erased after today!”
Andrius could not be bothered to talk with them and casually said, “Just wait and see.”
Then, Sonia and he walked into the hall.
Sean’s eyes were dark and greedy as he looked at Sonia’s graceful posture as she left. “Hmph. you when Even now, you still dare to put on airs in front of me. Watch and see how I deal with Celestial Enterprise falls!”
When he thought of Sonia’s exquisite and charming body at the mercy of his whims, Sean could not help but get excited. He already played out the scenario in his head a hundred times!
Andrius and Sonia walked to the middle of the large hall and were naturally seated at the
centermost table.
The rest of the guests were also present.
The large hall was full of excitement.
However, no one dared to come up and talk to Andrius and Sonia.
Everyone knew that the moment the banquet started would be the moment when Celestial Enterprise was sentenced to death. They naturally would invite trouble for themselves at a time like this.
As for joining forces with Simon–Tooke, a foreign–funded company…
There was no such thing.
Dean’s power already frightened everyone.
In their view, chewing and swallowing Celestial Enterprise up together with Simon–Tooke was more important.
It had to be said that this was what was sad about short–sighted capitalists. They had no integrity or backbone. Their short–sighted eyes could only see the small benefits in front of them.
Soon, the large hall was overcrowded and filled to capacity.
All the guests and dignitaries invited were present without a single one missing.
The seats were naturally arranged carefully. They were positioned in accordance to the dignitaries‘ status. The high–ranking people sat in the front, followed by the lower–ranking
ones behind.
Only Andrius and Sonia stood out. They sat at a table for two, exposed in front of everyone in

full view. They stuck out like sore thumbs.

“Phew…” Andrius was calm and smoked a military district cigarette, completely indifferent.
At a nearby table, a powerful man looked at Andrius and asked in confusion, “That cigar… Why do I feel like it’s the special cigarette that’s supplied to the military district?”
“Are you daft? Can he afford to smoke the special cigarettes from the military district?”
“Exactly. Those cigarettes are only supplied internally to the regional big shots of the military. The supply doesn’t even meet the demand. How would someone like him be able to smoke those cigarettes?”
“Did you get drunk even before you started drinking?”
“Why are you so confused now?”
Everyone scolded him on the spot.
The man winced and could only smile sheepishly, not daring to say another word.
At that point, only the table next to Andrius was left empty.
It was also in the center of the hall. It was specially reserved for the governor, the captain of the Shadow Wolves, and some other important people.

Chapter 343
Swoosh!
Amid the noise, Dean slowly walked into the large hall in a fancy tuxedo.
He was very unused to this tuxedo.
However, in front of the governor and the captain of the Shadow Wolves, he had to pay attention to his appearance and be mindful of the details.
“Ladies and gentlemen…”
As soon as Dean opened his mouth, everyone fell silent out of respect.
“I, Dean Mitchell, welcome the many dignitaries of the East River State to join me and celebrate my 60th birthday. I am deeply honored. Thank you all.”
As he spoke, he bowed to everyone. This was the Florencian etiquette he especially learned just so he could make a good impression on the Wolf King.
Clap, clap, clap!
Thunderous applause immediately sounded below. The noise was deafening.
After a long time, the applause slowly stopped.
Dean smiled, looked at the entrance, and said in a clear voice, “Now, please welcome our esteemed guests of this banquet!”
They were here!
The many dignitaries immediately looked solemn and expectant.
“The secretary of Sumeria’s military development team, Mr. Terrence Bright!”
Hiss.
As soon as that name was called, no one could remain calm.
Although the development department seemed to be a far cry from the governor, he was still one of the top 20 bigwigs in Sumeria’s military district!
The most frightening thing was that he was the first one to come in.
That meant…
The heavyweights that came after were more powerful than him.
“The culture and management deputy head of Sumeria’s military, Mr. Allen Kelly!”
Wow!
The dignitaries could not help but widen their eyes when they heard that name.
The culture and management deputy head of Sumeria’s military was also one of the top 20 bigshots. His status could not be underestimated.
“The deputy head of Sumeria’s military logistic management and coordination, Mr. Kelvin
Stanton!”
Oh my God!
This time, many people were deeply shocked.
This person was in charge of all the logistics activities in Sumeria’s military district. It was inconceivable how powerful he was!
It was amazing. It was simply amazing.
“Next, my godson.” Dean looked around and slowly said, “The president of the Martyrs‘ Society in Sumeria, Cloud Forger!”
After saying that, he smiled at everyone.
Everyone was already stupefied and shocked. They were numb. They were completely numb.
The president of the Martyrs‘ Society turned out to be Dean’s godson…
It was no wonder Dean was so powerful.
It was no wonder the governor would show him respect.
It was no wonder the Wolf King also took a fancy to him.
With such connections and background, it was only natural that Simon–Tooke was powerful!
Celestial Enterprise and the Timberland family were just seeking their own deaths by going against Simon–Tooke!
As Cloud finally walked in, all eyes fell on Andrius and Sonia. They were all curious.
What kind of amazing reaction would these two people have in the face of the storm that was coming up?
Would they brown–nose and be sycophantic?
Would they bend and scrape to curry favor?
Or would they pee their pants?
It was exciting just thinking about it!
Chapter 344
However, to everyone’s displeasure, Andrius continued to smoke his cigarette, and Sonia continued to drink her tea.
It was as if they were not involved in the matter. They looked completely indifferent and aloof.
“Damn it. Go on and continue pretending.”
“The calmer their faces look, the more scared they are in their hearts!”
“They’re still acting. I don’t believe that they’ll be able to continue acting when the governor shows up!”
Many people were furious.
They could not help but whisper to one another, their words full of slander against Sonia and Andrius.
In their view, Sonia and Andrius‘ indifference was simply disrespect for the big figures in the military district and the Wolf King.
As Cloud sat down, there were only three seats left on the center table.
One was reserved for the governor, and the other two were reserved for the captain of the Shadow Wolves and the Wolf King who may or may not come.
All the people’s attention also averted away from Sonia and Andrius.
After all, who would care about the two of them?
“Next…”
As Dean shouted, all the dignitaries held their breaths in anticipation. They all knew that the governor of Sumeria was coming. They had to rouse their spirits and leave a good impression.
Some ladies also took the chance to quickly take out their compacts and touch up their makeup in an attempt to attract the governor’s attention with their beauty.
“Please welcome the governor of Sumeria, Mr. Severus Sano!”
Rumble-
The scene immediately thundered with applause.
It was like thunder and heavy waves.
The applause stretched on for a long time.
Swoosh….
The next moment, a tall figure appeared at the gate.
Everyone was surprisingly in–tune and stopped clapping in unison. One by one, their eyes which were full of energy and light fell on that figure.
What majesty.
What a grand appearance.
What unparalleled power.
Although most people could only see his side profile, under the eyes of the public and the bright spotlight, Severus was so dazzling at the moment that it was as if he was emitting his own aura, making people not dare to stare at him.
Hiss-
Everyone could not help but scream in their hearts.
He was so cool and domineering. Just one look from him could dazzle the world.
With just a casual glance, all the dignitaries submitted and revered him like a god.
Without exception, all the ladies‘ thoughts started to run wild as their eyes sparkled.
Who would not love the governor?
In terms of looks, he was so handsome that he put pop idols to shame!
In terms of status, he had absolute power in Sumeria. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had no equal!
In terms of strength, was the position of governor just an empty name? The title had been baptized by blood and fire. There was no room for doubt at all!
“I’ll bring honor to all my ancestors if I can marry the governor.”
“If I marry the governor, I’ll stand above everyone else. No one will dare to bully me again.”
“If I marry the governor, I can enjoy endless splendor and romance as his wife. I really look forward to it…”
The countless ladies seemed to temporarily lose their mental faculties for some time.
They were infatuated!
They were stunned!
They were shocked!
One by one, they hoped, fantasized, and dreamed that Severus would take a fancy to them. Then, they would get back at their enemies and embark on the path to the peak of their lives.
The dignitaries present remembered Sonia and Andrius, who had been putting on an act earlier.
Now, the governor had arrived!
Would those two still dare to put on airs with him around?
Everyone turned to look at Sonia and Andrius in disdain and contempt. They all hoped to see what they imagined. They wanted to see the two frightened out of their wits to the point of being unable to breathe. They wanted to see the two bury their heads under the sand like ostriches.
Chapter 345
However, what surprised everyone was that Andrius and Sonia still had straight faces.
It was as if nothing in the world mattered to them!
One should follow their heart in all matters!
What on earth was happening?
The dignitaries could not figure it out at all.
How could Andrius and Sonia not be timid when faced with the governor?
Were they just crazy and did not understand the governor’s strength?
That was not it either!
With Sonia’s shrewdness, it was impossible for her not to know what the governor signified. They were dumbfounded and puzzled.
Many dignitaries shook their heads and looked away again because the governor had entered the large hall and arrived at the center table.
He was the only spotlight in the large hall at the moment!
As for Sonia and Andrius, they would become history when the banquet was over. There was no need to pay attention to the thoughts of people who were going to die.
“Mr. Sano!”
With a big smile on his face, Dean took out a large brocade box from the side and respectfully presented it to Severus.
“These are some treasures I brought from the other side of the ocean. Please accept them, Mr. Sano.”
Tsk.
Many dignitaries secretly clicked their tongues.
As today’s lead character, almost all the East River State’s dignitaries tried to curry favor with Dean. They all hoped to have a good relationship with him.
Then, they would use him as a bridge to get connected with the governor and the Wolf King. Therefore, every dignitary brought sincere gifts to Dean.
However, it seemed there was a limit to how impressive Dean was. In front of Severus, he had no choice but to put away his pride and hand Severus a gift in front of all the dignitaries.
Of course, this was not just a simple act of giving a gift. It was him showing his sincerity to Severus and trying to pull the latter to his side.
Severus glanced at the luxurious brocade box. He did not refuse it, but he did not reach out to take it either.
A strange smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth, and he said meaningfully, “Mr. Mitchell, today is your 60th birthday. You’re the main character today. It’ll be inappropriate for me if I
come here and accept a gift.
“Besides that, following the etiquette of Florence, I have also prepared a generous gift for you.”
A birthday gift from the governor!
The eyes of the dignitaries present seemed to burn.
“Gulp!”
“Gulp!”
“Gulp!”
Many people gulped down their saliva on the spot.
The governor had already shown enough respect by attending the banquet. However, he even came with a generous gift. The significance of this was heavier than a mountain!
Dean was overwhelmed and smiled from ear to ear. He asked with anticipation, “What is the gift, Mr. Sano?”
Severus looked at him, and the smile at the corners of his mouth became even more profound. “I invited the Wolf King.”
The Wolf King!
Severus‘ words were like a thunderclap in the middle of clear skies!
All the dignitaries present were instantly shaken and dizzy.
Who was the Wolf King?
He was the man who stood at the top of Florence and even the whole world. He was no longer a mere individual.
He was a symbol.
He was a faith.
He was the backbone of Florence.
He was the great wall that had endured for thousands of years and never fell!
Swoosh!
At that moment, all the guests stood up. Their expressions were solemn while their eyes glittered. They all looked in the direction of the entrance, wanting to give the Wolf King the highest form of respect.
To dare to remain sitting at a time like this was a great disrespect to the Wolf King. It was an unforgivable sin!
Everyone stood up except for Sonia and Andrius.
Of course, obviously, no one was paying attention to them.
“The Wolf King…” Dean was so excited that his heart was pounding. He immediately said, ‘ Since the Wolf King is coming in person, we should go out to greet him or we’ll be too rude!”
After saying that, Dean prepared to lead Cloud, Terrence, Allen, and the others out to receive.
Chapter 346
the Wolf King.
“No need.” Severus stood there motionlessly. The strange smile on his mouth deepened. “The Wolf King arrived long ago.”

Chapter 346
The Wolf King had already arrived?
This news came from the governor’s mouth, so it naturally could not be false.
In an instant, all the dignitaries present looked around one by one, trying to identify the Wolf King and see if they had the honor to sit at the same table with him.
Unfortunately…
They glanced left and right and all looked in all directions, but all they saw were the dignitaries of Sumeria they were long acquainted with, or affluent families from the capital.
There were no new faces.
More accurately, there was not a single face that could be the Wolf King.
Dean was also shocked. He also looked around but could not find any clues either.
He then asked in a low voice, “Mr. Sano, forgive my bad eyesight, but which table is the Wolf King sitting at?”
Dean was excited, afraid, and fearful when asking this question. He was excited because the Wolf King really came. He was afraid because he did not recognize the Wolf King.
That was too rude!
It was simply disrespectful to the Wolf King.
He was fearful because the Wolf King appeared at the scene without a sound and did not even notify him, the host of this banquet. What was the Wolf King’s intention?
Dean was not at fault.
In this world, how many people could remain calm when facing the Wolf King?
Very few people could.
The vast majority of people might be able to make small achievements. However, those achievements were worth nothing compared to the Wolf King!
Dean was no exception!
“I’ll personally invite him up.”
There was a strange smile on the corners of Severus‘ mouth. Then, he walked down from the high platform by himself.
“Uh…”
Dean naturally did not dare to say anything about Severus‘ decision, so he also followed Severus. He was well–behaved and did not dare to overstep in the slightest.
As for Cloud, Terrence, and the other top brass of Sumeria’s military district…
They also followed behind Dean.
The Wolf King had already arrived, and even the governor had to personally invite him to appear. How would they dare to sit in their original seats and not move a muscle?
Just like that, Severus walked step by step.
The people behind him also followed step by step.
Clack.
Clack.
Clack
The scene was silent, with the only sound being the clacking of Severus‘ combat boots on the ground.
The dignitaries present watched Severus walk, feeling nervous, excited, and expectant. They were all thinking that it would be wonderful if the Wolf King was the one sitting beside them.
From then on, they would be people who had dined with the Wolf King before. It was something that brought a lot of glory when talked about. Maybe Dean would even take a fancy to them.
When that time came, they would have prestige and glory!
The turnabout of their lives and the rise of their families was just a matter of a few words from those bosses.
It was close!
Severus was only three meters away from the first table.
The dignitaries at that table suddenly tensed their nerves, held their heads high, and dared not show any sign of negligence. Their hearts were already in their throats.
“He’s coming. Mr. Sano is coming!”
“The Wolf King… Will he be at our table? I hope so!”
“The Wolf King has to be at our table. That way, I’ll have capital!”
“Mr. Sano, announce it. Hurry up and announce it!”
“Mr. Sano…”
None of the dignitaries at that table maintained their usual imposingness. They were like pupils waiting to be checked by a teacher and praised. Some were even worse than a grade- schooler!
In their hearts, they shouted and dreamed.
However, Severus’s footsteps did not stop.
One step.
One step.
Another step.
He soon passed the table.
“Oh…”
“The Wolf King isn’t at our table!”
“Why?! Why isn’t the Wolf King at our table?!”
“What a shame. What a shame…”
As Severus walked past, all the dignitaries at the table became wilted and despondent, as if all
their energy had been taken away in an instant. However, they were helpless.
“He’s coming!”
“Mr. Sano is coming toward us!”
“Hahaha! I knew that the Wolf King must be at our table!”
“I’m a person blessed with great fortune!”
The dignitaries at the table behind all grew excited.
However, the result was the same as before.
Severus simply passed them normally
Chapter 347
Like the first table, the dignitaries at this table also had their hopes and fantasies instantly. shattered and fell from heaven.
However, that was still not the end.
Each time Severus passed a table, the dignitaries would cautiously start to fantasize, but those fantasies were all shattered immediately.
It happened time and time again like a never–ending cycle.
Finally…
Severus was about to reach the center where Sonia and Andrius were located.
“That… that can’t be.”
“No way. Absolutely no way.”
“How can someone like him be the Wolf King?”
“It’s impossible.”
Many dignitaries were shocked when they saw Severus about to walk to the table where Andrius was sitting, and they had many negative thoughts.
However, they banished those thoughts to the back of their heads after a short moment.
Dean was even more shocked.
However, like most of the others, he was soon relieved. He thought of Sonia and Andrius as nothing. Severus would surely pass them.
However…
To everyone’s surprise, Severus stopped beside Andrius.
Severus Sano stopped beside Andrius Moonshade!
At that moment, everyone’s hearts were pounding, and their eyes were wide open.
Dean’s face was horrified, and he could not help but gulp his saliva. In his heart, he yelled madly, ‘Walk away. Hurry up and leave that place, Mr. Sano!‘
If Andrius were the Wolf King, that news would be shocking. It made Dean feel frightened and uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Severus did not hear the cries in his heart.
Or maybe, he heard it but did not care at all.
Dean was just the chairman of a foreign–funded company. Who was he compared to the governor of Sumeria and the Wolf King?
He was just an ant.
As Severus stood still, the hall went silent.
All the dignitaries did not even dare to breathe. They were so shocked that their eyeballs
Chapter 34

almost popped out of their sockets. They never expected this. They did not want to believe it either.
Andrius Moonshade was the famous Wolf King.
“No, that can’t be!” Someone shook his head and muttered under his breath, “I–I must be dreaming. How can he be the Wolf King?”
One person kept pinching his leg until it bruised.
“Impossible. I must have used my eyes too much last night which caused my sight to go bad. My eyes are playing tricks on me!”
One person kept rubbing their eyes in an attempt to dispel this idea.
However, everything was in vain. It was just denial.
Severus stopped beside Andrius.
Andrius‘ identity was vividly portrayed.
The next moment, Severus used his actions to give everyone the answer they were least. willing to accept.
“The Wolf King is here! Aren’t you all going to salute him?” Severus yelled and took the lead. in standing straight in front of Andrius. He raised his chest, lifted his head, and saluted!
His posture was accurate and flawless!
That shout was like a bolt from the blue, shocking and terrifying many dignitaries.
Most of them were fine since they did not say too much.
However, it was a different story for some others.
When Sean, Bella, and the other ladies remembered that the person they mocked earlier was the Wolf King, they felt their bodies grow weak. They slumped in their chairs, sliding to the ground powerlessly. Their expressions were dismayed as if they were at a funeral.
The people who had taunted Andrius for not being qualified enough to smoke the special cigarettes for the military district also lost their souls in a flash. They could no longer sit still and could only slump on the table. They were listless with empty eyes.
As for Dean…
He felt dizzy as the whole world collapsed.
Andrius Moonshade, the person he always wanted to deal with, the boss behind–the–scenes of Celestial Enterprise who he wanted to destroy, was actually the Wolf King…
His legs became weak. He could not stand steadily at all. He stumbled a few steps back and grabbed the edge of the table to stand.
However, his old face had long since lost the high spirits it had a moment ago, leaving only a pale face and a pair of lifeless eyes.
It was over.
It was all over.
Andrius Moonshade was the Wolf King…
Chapter 347
This was the biggest and deadliest joke that God played on him.
It was too late.
Everything was too late.
He had offended Andrius and lost his way out long ago.
“Wolf King, please be seated!” Severus did not care about the people’s shock and invited Andrius.
Andrius did not stand on ceremony and walked on the red carpet, stepping to the seat that Dean specially prepared for the Wolf King, and took a seat.
“Ladies and gentlemen…”
Severus‘ gaze swept around, and he said in a clear voice, “This is the Wolf King!”
Chapter 348
The crowd was silent.
Everyone was looking forward to the Wolf King before his identity was announced.
Now that it was announced, everyone was afraid, especially Sean, Bella, and the others who had looked down on Andrius and mocked him. In addition to that were Dean and his people.
Andrius was the Wolf King.
The Wolf King was Andrius.
That was just…
God had played the biggest joke on them. It was also the most unacceptable joke.
They all regretted it. Remorseful, they prayed fervently. They prayed for God to help them through this difficult time for once.
“You guys…” Andrius spoke slowly, breaking the silence.
His sharp eyes glanced around and finally fell on Dean and the others. He said with a vague smile, “Didn’t you always want to meet me? You tried all possible means to meet me. Now, I’m right in front of you. Why aren’t you talking?”
Andrius‘ eyes narrowed slightly as he said those words, and a faint but stern aura flickered in his gaze.
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
As soon as he spoke, Dean, Cloud, and the others were unable to support their shaking bodies anymore and fell to their knees.
However, no one dared to speak or even look up.
This was how domineering the Wolf King was.
With just a gaze… With just a sentence…
Dean, who was at the peak of his power, and Cloud, the president of the Martyrs‘ Society, bowed their heads and did not dare to breathe loudly.
Snap!
Andrius sat on the stage, overlooking the crowd below. A cold smile emerged from the corners of his mouth as he snapped his fingers.
Rumble…
A large group of people suddenly filed in.
The person leading the group was the captain of the Shadow Wolves, Noir!
Behind him was a group of elite soldiers, arms and imposing. After they entered, the soldiers immediately raised their guns and pointed the muzzles at everyone present, including Dean!
Clack!
Swoosh
Thud!
That scene frightened many people on the spot.
Some of them pissed themselves while some fell to the ground. Some could not help but grovel.
However…
Noir would not have any pity on these evil people.
“Cloud Forger!” Noir snorted coldly. Cloud, who was kneeling, trembled all over. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Noir, his judge, in panic.
“As a person… You’re a son of Florence, but you acknowledge a villain as your father! You have no integrity!
“As an official, you accepted bribes for personal gain and swindled unscrupulously for political achievements. You’re a disgrace to our forces!
“I sentence you to death. You will be executed immediately!”
Noir’s words were sharp. His tone was decisive, and his intent to kill was intimidating.
As soon as he spoke, Cloud was instantly horrified and wanted to plead for mercy.
However…
Bang!
A soldier to the side did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
“Ugh…”
Cloud let out a miserable scream. A bloody hole gaped on his head, and he fell to the ground, dying on the spot.
Swoosh…
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
Cloud’s death immediately caused the others to tremble.
Dean had already pissed himself.
Cloud…
The president of the Martyrs‘ Society was executed without hesitation.
How could he, a foreign entrepreneur, be spared?
“W–Wolf… Wolf King!”
Dean looked up and pleaded. “I–I’m willing to leave Sumeria. I’ll never come back again! I’ll never have any thoughts about New Moon Corporation and Celestial Enterprise. h
“Please, have mercy…”
As he spoke, the sixty–year–old man kept groveling on the ground.
Thud, thud!
Thud, thud, thud!
Each sound was heavier and stronger than the last.
Soon, his forehead was bloody.
“You want to leave now?” Andrius narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. “Don’t you think it’s too late?
He gave a cold order, “From now on, Simon-Tooke must disappear completely from Florence’s territory and not take a single penny away. Otherwise…
He looked down at the old man on the ground. “You’ll stay in Florence forever!”
When Simon-Tooke was in Florence, they forced down other enterprises with trickery and annexed them.
These ill-gotten gains…
Naturally, he could not be allowed to take them away. He had to spit out however much he ate!
Andrius’ order was not considered forced robbery. Everything was traceable.
“I-I…”
Dean suddenly despaired.
The amount of assets that Simon-Tooke had in Florence could be said to be terrifying.
But now…
One wrong move, and he lost everything. All those years of operating and all the gains accumulated in those years…
In the end, they all popped like a bubble, and other people ended up benefiting instead.
However, what could Dean do?
If he did not leave, he would die!
“Okay!” Dean promised bitterly as if he had been drained of his soul.
“Remember.” Andrius stood up, looked at him condescendingly, and said coldly, “I don’t want to see any assets of Simon-Tooke in Florence after midnight tonight.
“Otherwise… You know the consequences.”
After coldly saying that, Andrius and Sonia went out together.
On their way out, they passed by Sean and Bella’s table.
Andrius paused, tilted his mouth slightly, and said with disdain, “It’s said that ignorance is bliss. You guys… You’re just frogs in a well, birds in a cage!
“You’re immersed in your world of self-righteousness but think you can see through everything. You’re complacent and smug! What you don’t know is that you’re no different
from a clown, making a mockery of yourself to the world.”
After saying that, Andrius and Sonia left without looking back.
Only Sean, Bella, and the others who had been humiliated and wanted to find a hole to hide in were left behind.
When the Wolf King left, there was no way for the banquet to go on.
The dignitaries left one after another. Some even went to demand all the valuable gifts they had offered before.
There was an idiom that said, “Set your helm according to where the wind blows.”
They were throwing rocks at Dean while he was down. The dignitaries came up with all sorts. of colorful reasons for their actions.
Dean’s heart was already dead, so he did not stop anything from happening.
After everyone dispersed, he immediately told Bale to release a message.
“Simon-Tooke will withdraw from Florence before midnight tonight.”
When the news came out, it did not shake just Sumeria. The entire East River State was in an
uproar.
Today was the chairman’s 60th birthday!
It was said that he even invited the governor and the Shadow Wolves.
However, now he ended up like this…
For a time, it was talked about extensively on the Internet, which was full of speculations and discussions about this matter.
Unfortunately, no one could know the truth except the dignitaries present.
Furthermore, all of those dignitaries kept their mouths firmly sealed because of the Wolf King’s might. They did not dare to divulge even a hint of what happened.
Thus, the truth was buried in the fog.
The outside world had changed.
However, for Andrius, everything remained the same. He went to the garage and had a nice drink with Noir.
Not long after, Sonia came with news.
“Mr. Moonshade, after Simon-Tooke’s withdrawal, there’s a large vacancy in Sumeria’s
market.
“Before that, Simon – Tooke was mainly engaged in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Now that they’re gone, the profits to be gained are extremely coveted.”
Pharmaceutical manufacturing…
Andrius pondered for a moment and said to Sonia, “No matter what industry it is, you should first integrate them all into one piece.
“Then, ask New Moon Corporation if they have any interest in this regard.
“If New Moon Corporation is interested in moving to pharmaceutical manufacturing, then tilt the relevant business to them.”
New Moon Corporation was at the forefront when Simon-Tooke attacked. Thus, it was only natural that they get a larger slice of the cake.
“Okay, I’ll do that,” Sonia responded, then quickly left.
Chapter 350
In a large conference room in New Moon Corporation, Simon–Tooke’s departure from
Florence alarmed Luna, and she immediately called a meeting for all the shareholders. She felt. that this was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity.
“So…” Luna’s beautiful eyes looked over the shareholders, and she said confidently, “As long as we seize this opportunity, we’ll definitely be able to make achievements in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.
“At that time, we don’t have to worry about New Moon Corporation growing bigger and stronger.”
However, not everyone unanimously agreed with Luna’s viewpoint.
“The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry is vast. If New Moon Corporation ventures into it without any foundation at all, I’m afraid there’s a risk of us losing everything we invest in.”
“I agree.”
“If you want to venture into pharmaceutical manufacturing, how much money do you have to invest in just the early stage of development? If the development fails, all that money will go to waste. I don’t agree to starting in pharmaceutical manufacturing.”
“I think what he said makes sense.”
“Pharmaceutical manufacturing is known for its high investments. There’s high risk and high return. With New Moon Corporation’s current strength, it’s too early for us to grasp it. We shouldn’t get involved.”
“I think…”
The shareholders spoke freely. Almost none of them agreed with Luna’s view.
This made Luna frustrated. This opportunity would never present itself again.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing was risky, but once it was successful, the profits would be visible to the naked eye. It was extremely coveted!
Thud, thud, thud…
Just then, Danni knocked on the door of the large conference room. “Ms. Crestfall, Ms. Timberland of Celestial Enterprise is here.”
A tall and graceful figure stepped into the conference room. It was Sonia.
“Ms. Crestfall. Are you holding a general meeting with your shareholders?” Sonia looked around and said without hesitation, “It seems that I came at the right time.”
All the shareholders were stunned, wondering what she meant.
Luna also looked at Sonia with a puzzled face.
“Ms. Crestfall, gentlemen…” Sonia smiled faintly and threw down a bomb. “I’ve decided to let Celestial Enterprise join hands with New Moon Corporation to take the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry together. What do you think?”
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone froze.
Chapter 350
What else could they do?
Celestial Enterprise even toppled Dean. The strength of the person backing them was terrifying, and their future was bound to be bright.
Now, they were proposing to cooperate with New Moon Corporation. It was like God was chasing after them to feed them and asking them if they would like to open their mouths!
“O–of course. That’s a great idea!”
“Ms. Timberland, you’re serious, right?”
“Ms. Timberland, you’re not pulling our leg, are you?”
The shareholders could not help but doubt their ears, but each one of them had a brilliant. smile plastered on their faces.
Even Luna looked at Sonia in bewilderment.
What was happening?
What was Sonia planning?
“Do you think I came all this way just to joke with you?” Sonia retorted in exasperation.
“No, no, no, please don’t misunderstand, Ms. Timberland!”
“Ms. Timberland, we mean no offense!”
“We’re just too overjoyed!”
The shareholders quickly explained themselves.
Luna also snapped back to her senses.
In any case, this was of great benefit to New Moon Corporation. It would be a crime to refuse.
“Of course, we’re willing to cooperate, Ms. Timberland. However… What kind of cooperation. will it be, and…”
Although the possibility was slim, Luna was more cautious and asked questions meticulously so as not to be cheated.
After all, New Moon Corporation had worked with the Timberlands before!
“I’ve already drawn up the contract.”
Sonia smiled faintly and took out a contract from her document holder.
Luna carefully read through the conditions for both parties. There was no problem, so she signed her name with pleasure.
This matter was finalized!
However, there was something that Luna never expected.
When the official announcement of the two companies was made on the Internet, the discussions being held suddenly turned strange.
At first, it was just a weak voice.
“To be honest… I feel that every time New Moon Corporation encounters a crisis, the tides will

change, and they’ll come out as the ultimate winner.”

As soon as that comment came out, it swiftly got the agreement of the netizens. It received more than a hundred thousand likes in a short time.
