DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 391-400
Chapter 391
The next day, after breakfast, Luna applied some simple makeup and set off with Andrius to Astral Auction House.
There were still more than ten minutes before the auction.
Astral Auction House was quite large. The hall was about a thousand square meters in size, with a central podium and immeasurable seats scattered around, arranged in a stepped manner toward the back.
Thus, the people could see the podium clearly from any seat.
There was also a circle of private rooms around the hall on the second floor. The private rooms overlooked the place from above and could take in the entire auction hall.
At that moment, the private rooms were already full, and about 70-80% of the hall was occupied.
This was just a regular auction, and the most valuable item was the wild ginseng at the finale, so there were still some empty seats. No entry tickets were required either.
The list posted at the door detailed the auction items for today. Luna was checking if there was any ginseng and did not notice a young man walking over.
Bam!
The next second, their shoulders bumped.
“You little…”
The young man’s name was Jace Harris. He had quite the background.
He was instantly furious and was just about to go on a tirade, but when he realized that the person who bumped into him was a stunning beauty, his eyes immediately turned mischievous, harboring malicious
intentions.
“Hey, babe.” Jace stared at Luna and said with a smile, “Bumping into someone is a kind of fate. How about we have a meal together tonight, and I’ll let this matter pass?”
Luna’s expression darkened, and she said calmly, “I apologize for bumping into you, but… There’s no need to have a meal together.”
Seeing Luna’s displeasure, a sinister look flashed on Jace’s face. He said insidiously, “Well, you don’t
have a choice.”
After he spoke, he reached out toward Luna’s hand.
Several of his followers behind him immediately blocked her path.
Smack!
Just then, a figure appeared in front of Luna. With a wave of his hand, a resounding slap landed on Jace’s face without mercy.
it was Andrius.
Jace was sent falling backward, and he collided with his followers behind him. When he stood firm, his face was already swollen with a red handprint. It was a shocking sight.
“F*ck!” Jace immediately became furious and shouted, “How dare you hit me? Boys, beat him to death!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his followers stepped forward.
Crack, crack, crack!
Clack, clack, clack!
Some cracked their heads and grinned while some rubbed their fists, and some bared their teeth in a
snarl.
Bam!
Andrius did not bother wasting his breath. He kicked the person in front of him, sending him flying.
That strength was so great that the person flew back and crashed into the people behind him, causing them all to fall down in a large heap.
Andrius swiftly knocked down the few that were left in just a few moves.
In just a moment, everyone was lying on the ground, groaning and moaning, resembling dying pigs.
Luna was speechless and exasperated. Just last night, she had told Andrius not to easily resort to violence, but now…
Although it was Jace who caused trouble, Andrius was too temperamental.
“Let’s go.
Andrius did not think much of it. After he beat them up, he pulled Luna into the auction hall.
“Damn it!” Jace looked at Andrius‘ back and cursed bitterly. Then, he led the group of people and entered the VIP path to the side. He wanted his master to take action and teach Andrius a lesson.
Otherwise, he could not accept this atrocious act.
On the second floor, in the first private room, an old man dressed in blue was meditating with his eyes
closed.
Beside him, several middle–aged men dressed in luxurious attire stood there, not daring to disturb him. They were holding gifts in their hands.
The old man’s name was Stephan Hoffman, a renowned master in the capital. These people were here to flatter him.
“Master!”
Just then, the door was pushed open. Jace came in with an expression full of grievance and went straight to Stephen.
Swoosh…
Stephen slowly opened his eyes like a light suddenly flashing in the night.
“Who did this?” Stephen immediately became furious when he saw the handprint on Jace’s face.
In the entire East River State, who dared to lay a hand on his disciple? Was that person tired of living?
“Master, you have to help me!” Jace immediately exaggerated the whole incident and described how vicious and ruthless Andrius was, and how he disrespected him.
“That’s absurd!”
The more Stephen listened, the angrier he became, and the expression on his old face became dark.
However, the auction was about to begin.
His purpose for this trip was the item in the finale, the wild king ginseng. It would not be wise to get
Chapter291

involved in unnecessary conflicts.
Stephen suppressed his anger, appeased Jace, and said, “Don’t be impatient, my disciple. Since that person has entered the auction house, he won’t be able to escape. Wait till I get the wild king ginseng and the auction ends. I’ll help you deal with him.”
Although Jace was unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.
“Ladies and gentlemen…”
Just then, a curtain of light enveloped the stage, and a beautiful host in a dress gracefully stepped forward.
Chapter 392
“Welcome to Astral Auction House. Without further ado, let’s begin the auction.
“The first item today is a fine jade bracelet. The starting price is one million, and each bid increment must not be less than 100,000.”
“Now…
“Let the bidding begin!”
When the beautiful host finished speaking, scattered voices were heard below.
“1.1 million.”
“1.2 million.”
“1.3…”
The item was of average value, so there were fewer people bidding for it.
Andrius and Luna were not interested in it at all, thus they closed their eyes and waited for the final item, the wild king ginseng.
Time passed slowly.
An hour later, the highly anticipated wild king ginseng was presented on stage.
“Ladies and gentlemen…” The beautiful host smiled and looked around, saying, “Next up for auction is an 80–year–old wild king ginseng. I won’t go into the medicinal effects since everyone present is
knowledgeable.
“The starting price is 50 million, with each bid increment to be no less than one million. Let the bidding begin!”
With her words, the venue fell into a brief silence.
Everyone was waiting. They all knew that in an auction house like this, being the first to step forward did not guarantee success.
Money spoke volumes!
Just then, a powerful voice rang out.
“I bid 60 million!”
As soon as the person spoke, the auction hall erupted like a bursting dam, and the atmosphere became heated.
“Aren’t you embarrassed just calling for 60 million? I bid 70 million!”
“Tsk… You might be able to smell an 80–year–old wild king ginseng for 70 million, but buying it will be impossible. I bid 80 million!”
“80 million isn’t much. I bid 90 million!”
“90 million is chump change. I bid 100 million!”
The bidding war was extremely intense. In just a few dozen seconds, the price had doubled.
However, that was not the end, The bidding continued to escalate.
“150 million!” a domineering voice resounded throughout the whole venue.
Stephen and the people in his room immediately looked at Andrius, wanting to see who was bold enough to oppose them.
“It’s him!” Jace recognized Andrius at a glance. A fierce light flashed in his eyes as he shouted, “Master, he was the one who hit me earlier!”

Chapter 393
Smack!
With Jace’s words, the armrest under Stephen’s hand shattered into powder on the spot.
Stephen was already burning with anger.
Everyone showed him respect, except for that little runt…
He was provoking him!
Stephen’s eyes were as cold as a venomous snake’s while he stared straight at Andrius below. He said coldly, “Kid, do you know who I am? Are you sure you want to compete with me in the auction? If you back off now, I can pretend that nothing happened.”
He gave his final ultimatum. “I’ll even give you a chance to change your ways after you lay your hands on my disciple.
“But if you remain stubborn…”
Stephen narrowed his eyes. The ferocious light flickering in them was more dazzling than the sun, causing people to tremble in fear.
“This is an auction.” Andrius could not be bothered to argue with him and said indifferently, “Auctions are about money, not words. If you want to bid, then hurry up and make your offer.”
Wow.
That brat was simply wild!
“That kid is really bold…”
“He’s bold, but… he’s destined to have a miserable end.”
“The last person who spoke to Stephen like that must have been back when he was in preschool, right?”
“My brother–in–law makes coffins. It looks like he’ll have some business soon.”
Many people were shocked by Andrius‘ audacity. They ridiculed him and looked at him with disdain.
Stephen’s nose scrunched up in anger, and his eyes widened so much that his eyeballs almost bulged. It was a terrifying sight.
The reflection of Andrius in his eyes shattered in an instant.
Stephen was ready to kill!
However, this was an auction. He could not risk causing a big disturbance and breaking the rules of the
auction house.
“I bid 170 million!” Stephen shouted his price with gritted teeth.
Andrius said casually, “I bid 180 million.”
“190 million!”
“200 million.“.
“210 million!”
“220 million.”
As the bidding intensified, the prices continued to soar.
Stephen gnashed his teeth.
Andrius was still nonchalant.
However, beside him, Luna was already anxious. She did not have that much money!
It was a familiar scene and a familiar formula. The same thing happened during the Riverfront Entertainment auction in Sumeria.
However, what was different was that Sonia emerged to buy Riverfront Entertainment in the end.
Now…
Who would foot the auction bill in this unfamiliar land?
“Andrius!” Luna pulled Andrius‘ sleeve and hissed in a low voice, “That’s enough. Stop bidding! You’re having fun shouting prices, but can you even fork out the money?”
Of course, he could.
He had trillions in his bank account. Of course, he could fork out the money.
Besides, as the Wolf King, since he had chosen to start, he had to fight till the end. There was neither an alternative path for him to take nor would he care to take it!
“250 million!”
“260 million.”
“290 million!”
“300 million.”
The prices were still soaring.
Luna was furious and anxious, but she was also helpless.
The bidding war attracted the attention of Joel Smith, the owner of the auction house.
After all…
Although the value of wild king ginseng was high, it would not reach the point of 300 million unless both sides were fighting.
This made Joel very curious. “Let me see the live footage.”
The secretary pulled it up at once.
Soon, the picture of Stephen’s resentful face appeared on the screen.
Hiss…
Joel was instantly stunned.
“Stephen Hoffman? He’s the infamous Grim Reaper of the capital!” He muttered to himself, “Who has the guts to bid against him?”
Joel was even more curious.
Then, Andrius‘ face also appeared on the screen.
“He’s…”
Andrius sat in the middle of the hall, so the cameras could not capture him clearly Joel was unable to
recognize him at a glance.
The secretary said firmly, “No matter who he is, I’m afraid he won’t have a good ending since he dared to compete with Stephen.”
However…
The next moment, Joel was shocked. Cold sweat formed on his forehead, and there was a flash in his eyes. A figure appeared in his mind. “It’s him!”
“Who?” the secretary instinctively asked.
Joel took out his phone, found a photo, and enlarged it, saying solemnly, “Taylor, you have sharp eyes. Take a closer look and see if they’re the same person.”

Chapter 394
“Yes,” Taylor checked several times and said with certainty.
“Go. Go now!” Joel was both shocked and delighted upon hearing the answer. He pointed at Andrius on the screen and said, “Give the wild king ginseng directly to him.”
“Huh?” Taylor was stunned. Her sensual lips parted wide, and she asked in confusion, “Boss, who is that person? The wild king ginseng is worth at least several hundred million. How can you just give it away?”
“He’s…”
A light flashed in Joel’s eyes, and he said solemnly, “He’s someone who can crush Stephen with just his fingers. He’s the Wolf King!”
Last night, when Dax led his army to crush the police department, Joel happened to be nearby. He was very curious about the commotion and took a few pictures with his phone.
The first picture was of the police captain, Tucker Olson, kneeling and groveling before Andrius!
The second picture was of Andrius and the Southern Warzone Master, Dax Wimbleton, joking with each
other.
Was there a need to wonder what kind of status he had to be able to chat so merrily with Dax?
No!
In any case, Joel would just try to curry favor.
Besides, he had vaguely heard the words ‘Wolf King‘ at that time.
The Wolf King!
The Wolf King actually came to his auction to buy something.
What an honor!
At the auction site.
“350 million!”
“500 million.”
Andrius could not be bothered anymore and added more than a hundred million at once, completely crushing Stephen.
When that price was called out…
Everyone in the hall, not just Stephen, was also stunned
Damn it
Did his family run a money–printing business? How could he be so overbearing?
When Luna heard Andrius‘ bid, a hint of bitterness appeared on her beautiful face. She did not have that much money at all!
Andrius was having fun calling out the prices now, but they would suffer when the auction house wanted to verify their capital later
“500 million…”
Stephen could not come up with that much money, but he did not want to let Andrius buy it so easily either, so he said viciously, “I don’t believe that you have that much money. Where’s the manager? Hurry up and verify his funds!
“If you don’t have 500 million… I’ll skin you alive on the spot!”
Stephen had gone furious from humiliation and did not care about anything anymore. His killing intent
was evident.
Whispers filled the hall.
Luna’s expression changed drastically.
500 million…
Where was she supposed to find 500 million?
However, if she could not produce it now, it would not only offend Stephen but also the auction house. The situation would be very unfavorable!
“Andrius…” Luna could not help but mutter.
“There’s no need to verify the funds.”
Just then, the secretary, Taylor, appeared. Her beautiful eyes landed on Andrius‘ face. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him.
Yes.
The Wolf King was the Wolf King. He seemed ordinary at first glance, but if you looked closer…
His eyes were deep, his face was firm, and his figure instantly exuded an endless grandeur.
Taylor blushed as she continued to look at him. Then, she remembered her task and said, “This wild king ginseng… is free for you.”
Free?
What was going on?
Everyone was stunned.
In an instant, they all started speculating about Andrius and Luna’s identities. How could they make the auction house decide to give them the wild king ginseng worth 500 million for free?
“What do you mean?” Stephen almost went mad from anger. He roared, “Aren’t you an auction house? Why are you giving the wild king ginseng to him?”
It would be fine if the auction house gave the ginseng to someone else, Stephen would not have been so furious. However, they gave it to Andrius, who had offended him multiple times!
Bam!
Stephen slapped the wall, leaving a handprint that instantly indented the wall. It was obvious how furious
he was
“Sir, I understand how you feel” Taylor said neither arrogantly nor obsequiously, “But first, you didn’t win the bid, and second, our auction house doesn’t need others to teach us how to act”
That sentence rendered Stephen speechless There was only helpless rege remaining
“Miss…” Taylor did not pay attention to him and said to Luna, “Please follow me backstage to collect the
item
Chap
Chapter 395
The Wolf King?
The Wolf King!
Luna was so shocked that she froze in place on the spot.
The Wolf King bought this expensive ginseng and gave it to her as a gift? That was too outlandish to think of!
Suddenly…
Various incidents flashed through Luna’s mind.
New Moon Corporation and the Crestfall family were targeted by the Hanshus and the Hendersons, but the Wolf King came forward and directly dealt with both families.
Andrius was taken away by the police department in Sumeria, but it was also the Wolf King who came forward and tore down the police department.
Then…
The capital’s Crestfalls, the Millers, and Dean from Simon–Tooke all had conflicts with them, but the Wolf King had dealt with all of them.
It was supposedly just a coincidence.
However, thinking about it now, it was too much of a coincidence!
Not even a novel would dare to come up with such a plot!
Luna could not help but think.
Why was the Wolf King helping her?
Could it be that…
The Wolf King liked her?
As soon as that idea emerged, Luna found it ridiculous.
The Wolf King…
He was the man standing at the top of Florence and even the entire world. He was the dream lover of billions of girls. What kind of woman had he never seen?
It was impossible for him to like her. They were not from the same class at all.
Luna shook her head and put the idea behind her. She could only wait for an opportunity and slowly explore the reasons in the future.
After getting the ginseng, she quickly returned to the auction house and joined Andrius.
“Andrius.”
When Luna thought of the Wolf King, she could not help but want to share the news with someone. “Did you know? This ginseng was actually gifted by the Wolf King!”
The Wolf King gifted it?
Andrius was stunned for half a second before snapping back to his senses. The owner of the auction house must have recognized him, so he decided to give him the ginseng.
“Oh,” Andrius answered casually.
That response would have usually angered Luna, but she was in a dreamy state now and asked, “Why do you think the Wolf King gave me the ginseng? Could he be hinting something to me?”
She originally wanted to say, ‘giving me a hint‘, but after thinking about it, what kind of hint could the Wolf King give her?
Thus, she changed her words.
“What hint?” Andrius glanced at her and said incredulously, “He’s the Wolf King. Why would he care about a measly ginseng? Don’t think too much. Since he gifted it, we’ll just take it.”
Luna rolled her eyes and could not help but say, “Gifts blind the eyes. Although he’s the Wolf King, we can’t break etiquette. If there’s an opportunity, we should still give him a gift in return.”
Luna really had good awareness.
“We’ll think about it if the chance comes,” Andrius said casually.
“I hope…” A sparkling light flashed in Luna’s eyes. “I hope that that opportunity will come sooner than later!”
The Wolf King!
He was such a distinguished person!
He was such a hero!
Who would not want to meet him?
It would be a lie to say she did not want to.
The two spoke as they walked out of the auction house.
Ring–ring….
Luna’s phone suddenly rang. It was Rainbow.
“Luna.” On the phone, Rainbow said bluntly, “Stella, from my uncle’s family, brought her boyfriend back to the capital. They want to treat us to a meal at the Grand Aurelia Hotel. You can just come straight in the afternoon.”
The Stella that Rainbow mentioned was Stella Conery, Alec’s daughter. She was Rainbow and Luna’s cousin. It was rumored that she found a very powerful partner.
As for how powerful he was, Luna was not sure since she had never met him before.
“We’ll go over now.”
After hanging up the phone, she said to Andrius, who was driving. “Someone invited us to lunch. Let’s go straight to the Grand Aurelia Hotel.”
Andrius stepped on the gas pedal and drove the Mercedes–Benz
Unbeknownst to him, Stephen came out of the auction house. A gloomy look flashed in his sunken eyes as he looked at the distant Mercedes
“Check and find out where they came from. How dare he rob something that I had my eye on….”

Chapter 396
Stephen ordered without turning his head. His words were squeezed out from behind gritted teeth.
“Yes!”
Someone behind him immediately hurried off to carry out the order.
Before long, the person returned and reported, “Sir, the woman’s name is Luna Crestfall. She’s from the Crestfall family in Sumeria. She’s related to the Crestfalls in the capital that was banished by the Wolf King. The man’s name is Andrius Moonshade. He’s the son–in–law of the Crestfalls.”
“The Crestfalls?”
Stephen’s eyes narrowed slightly. A constant light could be seen flickering within his pupils. “Even if the capital’s Crestfalls were still around, I wouldn’t let this drop for Idris.
“They’re just a little family from Sumeria, but they dared to snatch something from me. It seems they’ve been living comfortably for too long.”
There was a sinister meaning in his words.
One of his subordinates added, “Luna Crestfall’s grandmother is Jane Montecarlo from the Conery family in the capital. Tomorrow is her 70th birthday. The two of them came from Sumeria to celebrate her birthday.”
Stephen immediately laughed when he heard this.
“Her 70th birthday… Good. Very good!” Stephen laughed louder. “Go and prepare a coffin. We’ll give them a big gift at tomorrow’s birthday banquet.”
The Mercedez–Bens stopped at the entrance of the Grand Aurelia Hotel.
Andrius and Luna went straight into the private room.
“Hey…”
“Luna, you’re here.”
As soon as they entered, a trendy and fashionable woman stood up. A man in a suit sat on her right. He was Stella’s boyfriend, Renault Hill.
Stella’s eyes rested on Andrius, and she said with a charming voice, “This must be your husband, Andrius Moonshade. I heard he’s from the western mountainous region.”
She deliberately slowed down her speech when she said the words ‘western mountainous region“.
Luna knew that she was up to no good and nodded coldly. “Yes.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…” Stella snorted and said, “Luna, I’m not trying to lecture you, but your standards are really questionable.
“Back then, when my aunt married her husband, although they were also mismatched in status, at least, he was a member of the Crestfalls. There was still some hope for him.
“But now… You married a man from the mountainous region. Isn’t that willingly degrading yourself and bringing shame to Grandma?”
Luna’s face turned pale upon hearing those words.
Chapter 996
Stella seemed not to notice this and pointed to the man next to her, introducing him with a smile, “Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Renault Hill. He’s 28 this year and serves in the military.“
Stella smiled mysteriously and boasted, “Speaking of… He met the Southern Warzone Master before and
even had a meal with the Four Great War Gods!”
As soon as she spoke those words, the others could not help themselves from gushing.
“Oh my God, he met the Southern Warzone Master before!”
“The Southern Warzone Master… According to the hierarchy, he should be on par with the Wolf King!”
“Wow… Stella, your boyfriend is amazing.”
“With such achievements at a young age, his future is limitless!”
The younger generation of the Conerys could not help but start praising them when they heard this. They all put on flattering smiles.
“In comparison…”
“Andrius isn’t just slightly inferior. He’s basically trash!”
“Are you kidding? How can you compare a rural village man to a promising military figure? You’re just insulting Renault.”
“That’s true. Andrius isn’t even qualified to compare with him.” There were also some people who started mocking Andrius directly with cold words.
“Hello, Andrius Moonshade.” Renault held out his right hand to Andrius with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness hidden in his smile because Luna was breathtakingly beautiful.
For a beauty like her to actually be snatched away by a swine like Andrius was simply wasting a treasure!
Renault was displeased and said with a sinister smile, “Don’t take what they said to heart. We’re all people. No one is higher or lower than anyone else. Whether you raise pigs, herd cows, or till the land. you’re all contributing to Florence, right?”
Although those words sounded like he was defending Andrius, he was actually insinuating that Andrius was just someone who raised pigs and herded cows.
Andrius could not be bothered to pay attention to him.
Renault then said with a dark smile, “In a few days, I’ll have my retired comrades arrange a security job for you. As long as you’re willing, I guarantee that you’ll be promoted to the captain of the security team within three years!”
Renault’s words immediately made the others burst into laughter.
Even if he became a security team captain after three years, he was still a security guard!
Luna’s expression soured further.
Andrius ate with relish and casually asked, “What position do you hold in the Southern Warzone?”
“Listen closely.” Renault deliberately raised his voice and looked at the room proudly. “I’m the commander of the Southern Warzone Reserve Forces!
“Moreover, it’s almost the selection day for the Southern Warzone Spec Ops Unit. I’ve already passed the preliminary examination.
“As long as I pass the selection of that day, I’ll become a member of the Southern Warzone Spec Ops unit and will definitely achieve great things in the future
.”

Chapter 397
Those words immediately stirred up a wave.
Hiss…
“Isn’t the Spec Ops Unit the elite among elites? They’re the trump card of trump cards!”
“Amazing. The Conerys actually have such an amazing son–in–law!”
“Stella, you have really good taste to have recognized such an outstanding man at a glance. The Conerys are truly fortunate.”
“Exactly. If everyone was like a certain someone who brought a nobody home, the Conerys would have fallen long ago!”
Everyone was full of praise for Renault.
As for Andrius…
He became a negative example that was trampled on.
When Renault heard everyone’s praises, he looked at Andrius smugly, wanting to see how inferior Andrius felt.
However…
“Oh.” Andrius simply made a sound and continued to eat.
Rainbow, who was sitting to the side, almost laughed.
Renault was just a no–name military officer and a self–proclaimed Spec Ops member, but he dared to speak out in front of the Wolf King and said that he would ask his comrades to help Andrius…
It was simply asking for humiliation.
Even if the Southern Warzone Master, Dax Wimbleton, personally came, the Wolf King would not care at all.
Renault was nothing!
He just did not know it. When he found out the truth and learned that he was the fool, how wonderful would his expression be?
They continued to eat and drink.
However, apart from Rainbow and a few others, everyone else surrounded Renault as if he was the center of the world.
Luna ate gloomily while Andrius ate with relish.
Halfway through, Rainbow left the room to go to the ladies.
As she returned, she walked with her head down, wiping her hands with a tissue, and accidentally bumped into a young man walking toward her.
“You…”
The young man’s name was lan Weaver. He was the young master of the Weavers in the capital. He was about to curse loudly when Rainbow bumped into him, but when he saw that she was a stunning beauty. he immediately became restless and swallowed his words.
Rainbow snapped back to her senses and said politely, “I’m sorry. I didn’t watch where I was walking.“
lan looked at her in a daze and did not respond.
Rainbow did not mind and turned to go back into the room.
Upon seeing this, lan immediately followed her and went straight into the room.
“Who are you?”
“Who are you? Do we even know you?”
“Fellas, does anyone know who he is?”
The people in the room asked each other when they saw lan suddenly come in.
“She stepped on my foot earlier.” lan pointed at Rainbow and said arrogantly, “I want an explanation for this, or I won’t let this go!”
Everyone looked at Rainbow.
Rainbow frowned and said, “I’ve already apologized to you.”
“Apologized?” lan immediately grinned and said stubbornly, “If an apology is useful, then what do we need the police for? Come out and have a drink with me, and we’ll be even. Otherwise…”
The Conerys immediately knew that lan was deliberately trying to cause trouble. Thus, they did not give
him a chance to go on. The large group of people stood up and glared at him fiercely.
The members of the Conerys relied on their strength in numbers and said arrogantly, “Kid, don’t try to act impetuously here. Get lost.”
“You want to compare manpower?” lan smirked meaningfully and snapped his fingers.
Rumble!
A few seconds later, a large group of 20 to 30 burly men in black rushed in from outside and filled the
room at once.
The group of men was all hulking with bulging muscles and rough faces. Some even had scars on their faces. It was clear that they were not to be trifled with.
The Conerys were instantly too scared to speak. They could band together to bully the weak but did not have the courage to confront such a powerful figure head–on. They all trembled and cowered, not daring
to speak.

“Babe.” lan became arrogant again and went straight to Rainbow. reaching out to touch her face. “You have to drink with me today. Come with me…”
Smack!
Just then, Renault slapped the table and stood up with a cold smile. “You’re being too arrogant, kid. I’m the host today… Aren’t you disrespecting me too much by causing trouble here?”
lan tilted his head and looked at Renault with interest, “What? Are you trying to be the knight in shining armor? That’ll depend on if you’re capable or not. Go ahead. Tell me who you are.”
Renault had always been the apple of the Conerys‘ eyes. This was the first time someone disrespected him like that. He was instantly furious. His expression darkened, and his lips curled coldly. “Listen closely. I’m Renault Hill. I’m the commander of the Southern Warzone’s Reserve Forces!”
Renault’s words immediately gave the children of the Conerys great courage, thus they became snobby again.
“Hear that, kid?”
They boasted unscrupulously, “He ate with the Southern Warzone Master and the Four Great War Gods before. He has met the Southern Warzone Master, Dax Wimbleton.”
“if you don’t want to die, then get lost!”
Renault’s face reddened slightly. Those were the words he used when he was pursuing Stella.
The so–called meal with the Four Great War Gods was actually them having their meal in the private room while he stood guard outside…
The so–called meeting with the Southern Warzone Master was just Dax inspecting the troops from above when he was taking a stroll around below…
Of course, he could not admit to that now. He could only say to lan with an air of righteousness, “Leave with your people immediately, and I shall pretend that nothing happened…”
However, lan interrupted him disdainfully before he could finish, “Enough.”
lan snorted and said, “I thought you were someone amazing, but you’re just the commander of the reserve forces. You’d better keep your tail between your legs.
“You had a meal with the Four Great War Gods? That kind of bullsh*t might work on these idiots but don’t try to fool me.
“If you feel dissatisfied…” lan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice, “I can ask my uncle, Lee Cranston, a general serving under the Northern Black Tortoise of the Four Great War Gods, Ronald Black, to meet you in person!”
Lee Cranston!
Renault instantly shivered upon hearing that name and shrunk back.
That was a true big shot. He was much more powerful than the hypocritical Renault.
“Say something.” lan immediately became smug after he revealed his backer and suppressed Renault. He patted Renault’s face with his right hand and said teasingly, “Weren’t you being pretty arrogant earlier? Why aren’t you saying anything now?”
“I…” Renault could not afford to offend him and could only back down. “I’m sorry. I spoke too loudly.”
“Then, scram to the side.” lan pulled him away with one hand, then approached Rainbow and said, “Come with me, babe. Let’s have a drink. You won’t lose anything. There are many beauties who can’t drink with. me even if they wanted to!”
As lan spoke, he winked at Rainbow and was about to make a move on her.
Luna could not stand it anymore and stood up to argue. “She just stepped on your foot by accident. She can pay you back with a new pair of shoes at most. Do you have to pick on her like this?”
lan was stunned and turned around to look.
Wow, it was another beauty!
He was so focused on dealing with Renault and the others and looking at Rainbow earlier that he did not notice Luna until now. He really committed a huge crime.
This trip was not in vain!
lan fantasized about the scene of hugging two beauties beside him tonight. He immediately swallowed his saliva and said lecherously, “Since you want to help her so much…
“Then, you can come with me too and help share her burden when we get to the hotel. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to handle me alone.”
That remark carried an insult.
Luna was furious! She pointed at lan with trembling fingers. “You’re shameless!”
“You call this shameless?” lan smirked. “You’ll know how shameless I can be later…”
After he said that, he shot a look at the muscular men and was prepared to take Rainbow and Luna away
Luna immediately panicked.
However, the members of the Conerys did not dare to say a word, let alone stop them.
At that critical moment, Andrius put down his fork and said calmly, “Have you had enough?” a
Chapter 399
“What bullsh*t are you saying? Do you think I have a good temper?”
lan could not help but feel angry after being interrupted repeatedly. He pointed at Andrius and cursed. He was just about to tell his men to teach Andrius a lesson.
Just then, his phone in his right pocket vibrated.
lan had three phones.
One was for contacting his beauties, but he did not bring that phone today.
One was for contacting his friends. He left that one in the car.
One was for contacting his family members. He could ask for help during emergencies or receive important information. He kept that phone in his right pocket.
lan was willful but never got into trouble because he was careful.
Now, the phone in his right pocket was ringing.
Although lan was very displeased, he took out his phone and looked at it.
Then, his expression instantly changed.
The message was simple. It was just a photo.
The head of the Weaver family sent it to the family group chat.
The message said that the photo was of the Wolf King and told all the children of the family to watch themselves. They had to be respectful, especially when meeting the Wolf King, and they had to report the incident immediately.
However, now…
lan was so scared that his balls almost burst. The person he was just about to deal with was the Wolf King in the picture!
The Wolf King!
He actually walked into the Wolf King’s crosshairs and even cursed at the Wolf King….
He was simply digging his own grave.
At that moment, lan’s expression turned pitch black, and his legs trembled in fear. If he did not handle this matter now, he might receive a “thank you letter‘ tonight, and his entire family would suffer.
What should he do?
lan walked over as if possessed while he looked at the vague smile on Andrius‘ face.
When the Conery family saw lan’s expression, they thought that Andrius had truly angered him, and they all felt anxious. If things went bad, Andrius might be beaten to death here today.
However…
The next scene shocked everyone.
Thud!
lan walked in front of Andrius and could not support his legs anymore. He knelt directly in front of Andrius and said, “I’m sorry.
Chapter
He was just about to say the words ‘Wolf King‘ but was interrupted by Andrius‘ glare. He immediately caught on and quickly changed his words. “I was wrong! Please spare me this time! I swear that from today onward, I’ll repent and do good deeds every day. I…
lan pleaded desperately and groveled, clearly filled with extreme fear.
The Conery family was dumbfounded.
No one expected this.
Why did this arrogant and unruly young master suddenly change so drastically and grovel before Andrius?
It did not make sense!
“Enough.” Andrius interrupted him and said indifferently, “Leave one finger behind and you can get lost ”
One finger!
lan’s eye twitched violently as his piss involuntarily flowed out from between his legs. However, he did not dare to disobey the Wolf King’s punishment.
Between losing a finger and losing his life, his life was naturally more important.
Swoosh!
lan gritted his teeth, took out a dagger, and cut off one of his fingers.
When he saw his subordinates still standing there in a daze, he immediately became furious. “What the f* ck are you all standing there for? Hurry up and do as he says! Do you want to die?”
The subordinates had never seen lan so afraid before and knew that they were in trouble this time. Thus, they all clenched their teeth and cut off their own fingers.
Crack!
Snap…
“Ah!”
“My hand…”
In an instant, the room was filled with the sound of blades, dripping blood, and screams. The noises intertwined and created a miserable and wretched symphony.
The thick smell of blood overpowered the food and wine, shocking and frightening everyone in the
Conerys.
“Get lost.” Andrius snorted coldly.
lan was granted amnesty and immediately left the room with his men, rolling and crawling. Their speed was even faster than a rocket launched into space.
The room was silent.
Everyone racked their brains but could not figure out the reason.
Who could Andrius be?
lan had clearly said that his uncle was a general serving under one of the Four Great War Gods. However, he was so afraid of Andrius…
Could Andrius‘ identity be scarier than that uncle’s?
No way.
It was impossible.
Andrius was just a bumpkin with no background from the western mountainous area.
Then, what was the reason for all of this?

The Conerys could not figure it out.
Beep, beep, beep…
The abrupt noise was very loud in the room.
Renault immediately took out his phone. When he saw the number, his heart could not help but tremble
It was a number from the military!
In order to show off in front of everyone, Renault decisively pressed put the call on speakerphone.
‘Hello, this is Commander Renault Hill.”
“Hello. According to the latest development with the Spec Ops forces, you have been selected. Please arrive at the activity site of the Southern Warzone Spec Ops forces before 2 p.m. tomorrow.
“Please be advised that the Wolf King will also be present to observe the Southern Warzone military. Be sure to be spirited and demonstrate the might of our Southern Warzone.”
The Wolf King!
The Wolf King was making an appearance!
Renault could not help but raise his head proudly and respond enthusiastically, “Yes!”
When he hung up the phone, the room instantly went into an uproar.
“Congratulations, Officer Hill!”
“Officer Hill, your career is taking off!”
“Officer Hill, starting tomorrow, you’ll be the commander of the Spec Ops forces. We’re Stella’s family, so don’t forget us!”
“Officer Hill…”
Everyone praised and flattered him.
Suddenly, there was another voice.
“I got it!” A young member of the Conerys shouted, “Earlier, lan must have been so scared because he heard the news! It looked like he was kneeling toward Andrius…
“But he was actually kneeling in between Andrius and Officer Hill. That was because the person he really wanted to kneel to was Officer Hi!”
At his words, everyone seemed to remember.
“Yes, that must be it.”
“At that time, lan looked at his phone and suddenly changed his expression. He obviously got this news on his phone.”
“It all makes sense now. His uncle is a general, so it’s reasonable that he got the news early!”
Everyone was struck by a realization.
Then, some people began to make snide remarks.
“Officer Hill is the most reliable one here, unlike a certain someone who has no skills but puts on airs
chapte
anyway. What are you acting for?”
“Exactly. Officer Hill is wise and brilliant. He’s not someone those hillbillies can compare with!”
“Officer Hill, let me offer you a toast!”
As they spoke, someone raised his glass and said, “Here’s a toast to your smooth career in the future!”
“Here’s a toast to your promising career!”
“Here’s a toast to your rise and dominance in the Southern Warzone. You’ll be unstoppable”
When one person started, everyone began to raise their glasses and toast. They flattered him to no end Their smiles stretched from ear to ear, and they treated him more affectionately than they treated their own fathers.
Rainbow was the exception.
She knew that Andrius was the Wolf King. She knew the ins and outs of all this and that it had nothing to do with Renault, so she simply smiled and remained silent.
“Luna” Renault was pleased as punch now. He held a glass and came up to Luna, saying, “You must have been frightened earlier. I’m sorry. I’ll have a drink with you as an apology.”
Luna did not want to drink with him.
However, since Renault saved everyone here, it would be impolite not to drink.
Thus, Luna gently clinked her glass against Renault’s and slowly sipped her drink.
Stella also came over with a glass. She filled Luna’s glass and said, “See, Luna? Do you see how
important it is for us women to find a good man?”
Then, she gulped down her drink.
Luna felt gloomy and also downed her glass.
After that, the others also wanted to drink with her. Their toasts had veiled irony and were full of cynicism.
Luna soon got intoxicated as she downed glass after glass. In the end, she tethered upon the edge of drunkenness.
Upon seeing this, Andrius had to take her back to Kavo Estate.
When they reached it, he helped her into bed.
“Blergh…” In the process, Luna threw up on herself. The strong smell of alcohol wafted over In the puke were also some traces of food.
Andrius frowned. He obviously could not leave Luna like this.
So…
Andrius reached out to Luna’s chest and wanted to change her into clean clothes.
Creak-
Just then, the door opened.
