Chapter 401
A slender figure entered the room. It was Rainbow. She was instantly stunned when she saw Andrius.
Andrius‘ hands froze in the air as his body petrified.
“Ahem…” He awkwardly cleared his throat and explained, “Luna isn’t sleeping properly, so… I just want to take off her jacket…”
Rainbow’s mind was instantly flooded with thoughts. It seemed like Andrius and Luna must have done it, or else he would not be explaining it in such an awkward manner.
If so, then Rainbow could not allow them to further develop their relationship!
The tighter their relationship, the lesser the chance of divorce, meaning her odds of getting Andrius would be infinitely lower.
“Allow me.” Rainbow went over.
Andrius awkwardly stepped away, but after he regained his composure, he noticed something strange.
Rainbow was awfully meticulous. She took Luna’s dirty jacket off, wiped her face with a warm towel, and brought her cousin to the bed before she wrapped her with a thick layer of blanket to cover all her exposed skin.
“All done!” Rainbow clapped her hands and said with a bright smile. “Andy, you guys rest. Goodnight…”
“Goodnight.”
The next morning, when Luna opened her eyes, she noticed her clothes were changed.
Chills went down her spine instantly, giving her goosebumps. She looked at Andrius, who was sleeping
beside her.
Without any question, she grabbed her pillow and slammed it on his head, screaming, “Andrius Moonshade! You pervert!”
Even sleeping, Andrius remained alert. He opened his eyes immediately and sized up his surroundings
Half a second later, he finally knew what happened and he was prepared to explain himself.
Luna did not give him the chance to, however.
Swoosh!
After the pillow, other objects were hurled into his face, forcing him to jump off the bed to avoid the incoming projectiles.
Rainbow heard the bombardment inside the room. She came in and saw the angry Luna attacking Andrius. She immediately explained, “Luna! It was me! I helped you get changed last night! It’s not Andy’s fault!”
“Huh?” Luna was stunned when she realized she wrongfully accused Andrius.
“I–I’m sorry,” Luna apologized timidly. She put the objects down and strode away to the bathroom with her head stooped
After she left, Rainbow went up to Andrius and whispered, “Andy, judging by Luna’s reaction never touched her? Have you… ever touched a woman’s body? Would you like to touch one?”
Have you
What the hell?
What kind of questions were those?
Andrius was stunned, shocked, and rendered speechless.
“N–NO!” Andrius shook his head violently. “I am not interested in women!”
Tsk!
Rainbow clicked her tongue. Then, she switched to a seductive tone and teased, “Andy, you said you are not interested in women, but your eyes are glued shut. Look at me with your eyes open.
“If you can look at me without blinking, I will believe that you are not interested in women. If you compare my body to Luna’s, mine’s not half–bad.”
No man could resist her temptation! Seductive! Tempting!

Andrius was completely petrified.
No! He had to hold himself together and not fall for the woman’s deception!
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his mind down.
Pfft…
Rainbow could not hold her laughter back at Andrius‘ reaction.
Fortunately, she was in a teasing mood since she too was afraid that Luna might catch them together doing something undesirable.
A while later, Luna came back fresh with makeup.
“It’s time.”
Luna took the wild king ginseng and walked out of the room. “We must hurry to my grandmother’s celebration.”
It was not exactly a huge celebration because only the Conerys were invited to gather in the main hall of the estate.
Jane wore an auspicious red dress with an energetic aura and lively eyes as she sat in the center.
Flanking her sides were her sons, Alec and Bernard, respectively. Then, there were her daughters, Luna’s aunts.
Luna sat at the main table, representing her mother, and Andrius was beside her.
The last two seats at the table were reserved for Stella and her boyfriend, Renault.
The other younger ones sat at the next table.
“Stella, Renault, you guys made it!”
Then, Jane got up to her feet with the brightest smile as she welcomed the young couple.
Both Stella and Renault entered.
Alec stood up and said with a satisfying smile, “Renault, it is our family’s glory and honor to have you here with us tonight!”
“Having a Spec Ops Forces‘ member here with us really makes Madam Montecarlo proud!”
“Yeah!”
The family surrounded Renault to flatter him.
Jane was thrilled and proud. “Renault, I shall take the liberty to put Stella in your care. You have to take -good care of her and… fix the date for your marriage so I can have a great–grandchild to play with!”
After learning about Renault’s background, Jane wished that Stella and Renault could get married on the spot so that the Conerys would have a direct relationship with a Spec Ops Forces member.
Stella shyly looked at Renault when her family bombarded her with questions about her marriage.
Renault was caught off–guard. He nervously said, “Grandmother, I’ll do my best.”
Jane was unsatisfied with his answer. It seemed like she had to work on Stella so that both of them could tie the knot as soon as possible. She would not want to miss out on the chance to call a Spec Ops Forces
member her grandson–in–law.
Despite the thought, Jane said, “Renault, there’s going to be a Spec Ops event in the Southern Warzone this afternoon. Can you bring us there? We want to have a glimpse of the mighty Wolf King as well.”
She was thinking of bringing the entire family there so that the younger single ones had a chance to mingle with military personnel during the event.
It would be great if the younger ones could date some of the officers, but if any of them caught the attention of the Wolf King, then she would be exalted.
Little did she know, the Wolf King that she longed to meet was sitting in front of her.
Renault looked troubled. He shook his head and explained, “Grandmother, the event in the afternoon is classified. I cannot bring anyone inside with me.”
“Oh, I see…”
“Grandmother…”
Renault saw the disappointment on the lady’s face. He did not want to look bad in front of the family, so he started bragging, “Don’t worry. Now that I am in the Spec Ops Forces, I will have a lot of chances to meet the Wolf King and the Warzone Master. I will surely invite them here soon!”
His promise might have sounded empty, but it enlightened the Conerys‘ hearts.
“Renault, you are really amazing! You’re going to invite the Wolf King and the Warzone Master?”
“If they come to our place, we will make our family proud!”
“Renault, you are the G.O.A.T.! You are a lot better than those who only know how to use their mouths instead of doing anything for real.”
“Yeah. Someone just knows how to brag
Chapter 403
Renault became the center of attention. He was like the sun surrounded by planets.
The Conerys did not forget to mock Andrius while they were flattering Renault.
As for Luna, she was isolated by the family and no one was there to talk to her except for Rainbow
Only Rainbow knew Andrius‘ true identity. She held her laughter back and signed at Andrius using her lip gestures, spelling. “He said he wants to invite you to our house!”
Andrius simply smiled.
After the bombardment of flattery, Alec brought out a beautiful box and gave it to Jane. “Mother, today is your 70th birthday. I don’t have anything valuable, but these are a part of gilded jade bangles I want to give them to you on this special day. I wish you a healthy and long life and I wish our family is blessed with prosperity.”
Jane accepted the box with all smiles. “Thank you, Alec. Thank you.”
“Mother, this is my gift for you.” Bernard brought out a pearl necklace.
Jane’s other daughters started to give her the presents they prepared, then it was the younger ones‘ turns.
“Grandmother…”
Renault opened a briefcase and presented the gift to Jane with both hands. “I heard you were sick a while ago. I originally wanted to bid for the wild king ginseng at the auction, but I didn’t get it. So, I spent another three million to get this 30–year–old reishi mushroom for you. I wish you stay healthy and beautiful
all the time.”
Impressive!
He spoke eloquently and presented a fitting gift.
Jane’s smile widened, showing off her gilded dentures. “Renault, you being here is the greatest gift, yet you still brought something this valuable…”
Despite the courtesy speech, Jane’s hands instinctively reached out to the briefcase.
Then, it was Luna and Andrius‘ turn.
Luna revealed the wild king ginseng. “Grandmother, this is an 80–year–old wild king ginseng. I wish you healthy and safe always ”
Wild king ginseng!?
Renault had just said that he lost the bid and failed to get it from the auction, hence the reishi mushroom, but then Luna brought it out and gave it to Jane in front of him.
The wild king ginseng was huge!
“What the…”
“Luna, what are you doing? This ginseng is so huge! It’s definitely fake!”
“Today is your grandmother’s 70th birthday and you are giving her a fake ginseng? What are you trying to do?”
“Yeah. Can you get a hold of yourself?”
The others started to criticize her, and even Renault frowned when he saw the ginseng. Even he did not
get the wild king ginseng, but Luna did.
What did it mean? Was this a blatant insult to his face?
Fake! It must be fake!
Andrius was speechless when he saw their reaction. “We got this during the auction.”
“Impossible!” Renault stepped out and questioned the authenticity of the ginseng. “I heard that someone paid 500 million to get the wild king ginseng during the auction.”
“500 million?”
“You two got the wild king ginseng for 500 million?” Renault grinned wickedly.
“500 million? How ridiculous?”
“If Luna got the wild king ginseng for 500 million, I will eat the box!”
“Yeah! It’s fake! It can’t be real!”
No one believed Luna.
Jane glared at Luna. “Luna, tell me where did you get the wild king ginseng?” Luna honestly said, “Grandmother, it was a gift from the Wolf King.”

Chapter 404
The Wolf King?!
The Wolf King gave Luna the wild king ginseng?
Luna’s words shocked everyone.
The Wolf King! Who would keep calm in front of him?
No one!
However, the Conerys were baffled by why the Wolf King would have given her the wild king ginseng.
It did not make sense. Not a bit!
It was ridiculous and outrageous!
Therefore, everyone refused to believe her.
“Luna…” Alec grunted with displeasure. “You said the Wolf King gave you the wild king ginseng? So, you met him in person?”
“Yeah! Come on, tell us!”
“Tell us what he looks like. Renault will be meeting him in the afternoon!”
The questions put Luna in a difficult position. She had no idea what the Wolf King looked like. She looked down. “I don’t know…”
“You don’t know?!” Alec laughed out loud. “You don’t know, yet you said the Wolf King gave it to you? Who would believe you?”
Luna argued, “It is from the Wolf King! He told the owner of the auction to give this to me!”
Tsk!
Alec continued contemptuously, “Are you trying to trick a child with that?”
No matter what Luna said, Alec refused to believe her.
Then, the others in the family started to mock her.
“Luna, please think before you brag!”
“Yeah. You try to look good in front of Madam Montecarlo but your lies are so cheap and fragile!”
“If you are not capable, just admit it. Why pretend to be someone you are not?”
They were harsh with their words and neither one of them held back.
Luna was embarrassed
Stella then stepped forward and smiled at Renault sweetly. She said, “Luna, I know you are jealous of me meeting Renault I know Renault is a thousand times better than your Andrius. I know it hurts for you, but you can just come at me. You don’t need to fool Grandmother.”
She then widened her wicked grin and continued, “You said the Wolf King gave it to you, right? Then, why don’t you bring him back here next time? If you can bring him back here, I’ll wash your legs.”
Her taunt at Luna made everyone laugh.
Rainbow could not hold back her laughter as well, but she was not laughing at Luna but at Stella.
In her eyes, Stella was a clown because Luna was indeed with the Wolf King.
After the merciless laughter, Jane looked at Luna and said coldly, “Enough. Luna, I know the Crestfalls aren’t that wealthy and I won’t blame you for not presenting something fitting, but…”
She grabbed the wild king ginseng and tossed it on the ground. Her expression grew colder as she explained, “Do not bring something this fake here next time. I am not that old and stupid, and you shouldn’t be as well!”
Luna drowned in her grievance. She was deceived by the ginseng seller at first, and Andrius was arrested by the local police just because she wanted to get proper ginseng for her grandmother.
Then, she also offended that man at the auction.
She went through a lot to get the wild king ginseng, yet it ended up on the ground, trampled.
Luna’s eyes were wet but she held her tears back.
Bang!
A loud bang came from outside.
Then, a large group of people marched into the front yard. The leader was a vicious–looking man with a wicked grin.
It was Stephen Hoffman with his men!
A few of his men were holding square objects wrapped and tied with red cloth.
Stephen looked at Jane in the center. “Are you Jane Montecarlo? Today is your 70th birthday, am I right?”
Jane thought the man was there to celebrate her birthday. She said, “I am. And you are…”
“That’s enough.” Stephen grinned wider, giving a creepy feeling. He clapped his hands. “The presents!”
Presents?
The Conerys had no idea what happened, but they heard the word ‘presents‘, which somehow made them relax. They simply assumed the men heard about the event somewhere and decided to flatter Jane with gifts.
Bang!
At the next second, Stephen’s men untied the square boxes.
They were coffins!
Everyone in the family, including Jane, was looking forward to the revelation, but when the presents were revealed, they were shocked and afraid.
Chapter 405
“You, you…” Jane’s expression turned pale. Her finger pointing at Stephen was shaking violently. “W-what is the meaning of this?!”
Coffins at her birthday?
It was more of a curse than a present!
Stephen grinned and explained, “Oh, it’s nothing. I just want the Conerys to completely disappear from the East River State!”
Jane was afraid because they were outnumbered. She asked, “Why are you targeting my family?”
“You should be asking those two.” Stephen narrowed his eyes dangerously as he pointed at Andrius and
Luna
Jane was shocked. Her expression instantly turned grim as she bellowed, “Luna, Andrius, what did you two do to make this man this angry?”
Andrius pointed at the wild king ginseng on the floor and said, “He tried to bid against the Wolf King during the auction yesterday.”
His words shocked every one of the Conerys.
“Bidded for the wild king ginseng?”
“So, the wild king ginseng is real?”
“Luna really got a 500–million wild king ginseng?!”
However, the surprise was soon replaced by anger, because the wild king ginseng did not cure Jane of her condition or kept her healthy. Instead, it brought forth calamity upon their family!
“Andrius! Why did you go piss him off?!”
“What is the use of this wild king ginseng? It’s fancy but isn’t useful! If he wants it, just give it to him! Look at what you’ve done.”
“You stupid caveman troublemaker!”
“You are a jinx! You troubled the Crestfalls, and now you are here to trouble us!”
“Andrius…”
No one showed any mercy to Andrius
Luna argued, “This has nothing to do with Andrius. The Wolf King won the bid, and he gave it to us. But that man there is being a cheapskate and refuses to accept his loss. That’s why he’s here!”
Stephen found Luna’s words amusing. He laughed.
He looked at her and sneered, “Girl, you must be daydreaming. You drag the Wolf King into this just like that? Do you really think by mentioning the Wolf King’s name, I will be scared? No way!”
Even though the last scene that happened yesterday felt strange, based on Stephen’s experience, it was impossible for the Wolf King to have been there to win the bid just to give the wild king ginseng to them
Why would the honorable Wolf King do something this cheap?
Jane quickly grabbed the wild king ginseng from the floor and brought it over to Stephen with both hands “Sir, if you want it so much, I’ll give it to you Can you let us go?”
The woman lowered herself and basked herself in humility in front of Stephen. The arrogance and anger she showed Luna and Andrius were gone.
“Of course.” Stephen glanced at Luna and Andrius. He chuckled and said, “But you will have to tell the girl there to sleep with me for half a month, and I want to break that guy’s legs. Then, I’ll call it off. Or else. this will be the end of your family!”
Jane’s expression turned grim once more.
She had no opinion of Stephen wanting to break Andrius‘ legs, but if Luna were to sleep with him for half a month, it would bring shame to the family.
Besides, she had plans to introduce Luna to other influential young men in the capital. If she was ravaged for half a month, her plans would go to waste.
She pondered for a moment before she looked at Renault. She whispered, “Renault, do you think…”
Renault knew exactly what she was thinking.
However, Renault knew the man better than the Conerys.
The man was Stephen Hoffen, a man so vicious and brutal that not even Hex the Demon Monk and his men could threaten him. He killed for sport. Only an insane person would want to be involved with the
man.
Renault whispered back, “Grandmother, let’s just hand them over. It’s better to solve the problem than start another.”
The others agreed with his suggestion.
“Mother, they should bear this responsibility. Since it’s their fault that the man is here, let them handle it!”
“Yeah, why should we clean up after them?”
“Clean up your own mess!”
“They had it coming!”
No one helped or tried to defend Andrius and Luna.
Stephen grinned in satisfaction when he saw the family turning their backs on Luna and Andrius.
“Punk, you had fun raising the price yesterday. I bet you never would have thought that you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
As soon as his voice subsided, an untimely scoff sounded.
Pfft.
It was Rainbow who could not hold her laughter back.
Stephen narrowed his eyes. Before he could bellow, Andrius said, “Old man, if you want to run, now is the time, or else you won’t be able to.”
Stephen glared at Andrius coldly. “No one in the East River State has the balls to keep me down!”
“Is that so?” a strong and deep voice boomed. “What about me?”
Chapter 406
Everyone looked in the direction of where the voice came from.
A person entered. The man had a stern face with a natural aura, his gait was firm and steady, and his temperament was proof that he held a higher social status.
Behind him were a bunch of bodyguards in suits. The four forefront bodyguards held a meticulously decorated red box each. The item that the boxes held must be valuable.
It was Malfoy’s father, Edgar Aston, the master of the Astons from the capital. He came to meet and butter up to the Wolf King and coincidentally ran into this situation. It was a great chance for him to present himself, so he stepped up.
Stephen glanced at him. With disdain, he asked, “Who the hell are you?”
Edgar did not answer the man. He walked into the hall and went up to Jane
“I heard today is Madam Montecarlo’s 70th birthday. I, Edgar Aston of the Astons, have brought presents to celebrate this wonderful day.”
He glanced at Andrius while introducing himself. The meaning of the glance was self–explanatory.
Andrius caught the glance as well.
Edgar must have been worried that his son’s rude behavior toward the Wolf King would bring the entire family down. Therefore, after hearing the news of Jane’s birthday, he came here in person to butter up to the Wolf King.
He continued to ignore Stephen and signaled his men to bring forth the presents. “Madam Montecarlo, I wish you a long and prosperous life. The Astons have prepared a pair of bracelets, a painting from Salvadore Dali, a pair of gold necklaces, and a hundred–year–old herb. Please accept them.”
Then, Edgar went over to Luna and Andrius and stood behind them solemnly.
As the master of a wealthy family in the capital, he had eagle eyes.
His action shocked everyone in the family.
The Astons were considered one of the richest families in the capital. The master of the Astons came to celebrate Jane’s birthday because of Luna?!
How unbelievable!
Edgar purposely stood behind Luna and Andrius, so the others would not assume that he came here solely for Andrius.
“The Astons?”
Stephen had never taken the Astons seriously for as long as his reign over the capital’s streets. He bellowed coldly. “You Astons must be tired of living for meddling with this matter Aren’t you afraid that I will wipe out your family? Frankly speaking, the Astons are far from enough to face me!”
His killing intent was overflowing as he bellowed.
Then, multiple voices sounded from the entrance.
“If the Astons are not enough, then count the Bradstreets in!”
“Me too! I am Denzel Selim!”
“Hedge Moore, the master of the Moores!”
“I’m here as well…”
Another group of rich and influential men entered the hall. Each and every one of them was a well–known figure in the capital.
Independently, they might not be the top or the strongest, but by teaming up, even the old Crestfalls might have to step aside!
“I’m Zack Bradstreet! I am here to celebrate your birthday, Madam Montecarlo! I have a pair of jaded accessories and five night pearls for you. I wish you a healthy and long life!”
“I’m Hedge Moore. I have 40–year–old ginseng and a box of high–quality cordyceps. I wish you happiness and that you shall forever remain strong.”
“I’m Denzel Selim. I bear gifts for your birthday, Madam Montecarlo! A stem of reishi mushroom and a painting from the renowned artist Spiegleman. I wish you stay healthy and energetic forever!”
All of them came with presents to celebrate Jane’s birthday.
After giving their presents, they all stood behind Andrius, and Luna. They were here to support Andrius. and Luna, and to confront Stephen.
The Conerys were speechless as their eyes widened in shock. They had no idea why the rich and influential families, who usually never bat an eye at them, would come here.
When they saw the masters of the rich families standing behind Luna, no matter how astonishing or ridiculous it sounded, they knew Luna was the key to all this.
Stephen’s expression turned grim when the masters of the rich families stood behind Andrius.
He scoffed and said, “All of you might be something if you team up, but that is not enough to scare me! You people are just rich, not powerful!”
Stephen’s arrogance had toned down. “If they are not enough, what about us?”
Chapter 407
“There’s also us, the Falkners!”
“And me, Lance Song!”
“Gravik Kansas from the Kansas family!”
“Me too.”
Right after Stephen’s voice subsided, another large group of people entered the front yard, taking up almost every inch of space. They all took turns to give Jane a present, wished her, and then stood behind Andrius.
The gentry were all powerful figures in the capital; one word from any of them could easily wipe out the Conerys. Now, all of them were attending Jane’s 70th birthday with valuable presents and a heartfelt blessing.
The Conerys, Jane included, looked at each other in confusion. The situation had escalated beyond Jane’s imagination.
With that many wealthy gentries opposing him, Stephen’s wrinkled face turned grim. “Are you people sure you want to stand against me? Are you all aware that I am Stephen Hoffman?”
The masters of the wealthy families knew the name Stephen Hoffman, but they were ever more familiar with the Wolf King.
Stephen Hoffman was nothing in front of the Wolf King. One sneeze from the Wolf King was enough to kill the man ten times over if he had the chance to step up.
Edgar scoffed and said, “I don’t care if you are Stephen Hoffman or Stephen King. Today is Madam Montecarlo’s 70th birthday. Whoever tries to cause a scene here will be deemed to be going against us.”
“Edgar is right!”
“We will wreck whoever causes a scene here!”
“Stephen Hoffman, you came to the wrong place!”
All of them stood up against Stephen’s threat without backing down, infuriating him.
The gentries were usually cowards before him. No one dared to even raise their voices at him, but now when they teamed up, their combined confidence skyrocketed.
“Fine. Fine. Fine!”
Stephen blurted out ‘fine‘ three times. His eyes narrowed viciously as he scanned all the masters of their houses. He remembered their faces and said, “I will make all of you pay! Don’t you forget this!”
Stephen then called his men back with a raised hand. “Let’s go.”
“Hold on,” Andrius, who barely spoke, announced. He said calmly but coldly, “I didn’t say you can leave.”
The Wolf King had spoken. Even the most notorious villain revered him, let alone a nobody, Stephen Hoffman.
If Andrius simply allowed Stephen to leave, it would disgrace his title as the Wolf King.
“What?!” Stephen was furious. He had taken a step back but the punk tried to take advantage of him.
“Andrius Moonshade, judging from your tone, are you trying to make me stay with your little army?” Stephen scoffed as he widened his eyes in anger. “Stop dreaming! Don’t think of forcing me to comply! If
go down today, I will drag you with me!”
Anxious, Stephen was prepared for the worst.
“You will go down, but you won’t drag anyone with you.” Suddenly, another cold voice came in front
outside.
Then, a battalion of armed soldiers marched into the front yard.
Chapter 408
Swoosh!
The soldiers marched into the front yard, forming multiple lines, inside and outside, to surround Stephen and his men.
Not even an ant could get through the human barricade, let alone a person.
The guns were all pointed at Stephen and his men as though a nightmare had descended upon them, devouring them all.
After the soldiers had Stephen and his men surrounded, they opened up a path for a middle–aged man in military uniform to pass through.
The man’s boots thudded loudly as he made his way forward. His face looked rigid and sharp while his keen eyes made it difficult for one to stare at him.
The man was Decker Armstrong, the military governor of the East River State!
Gasp!
Decker always appeared in headlines and on TV, and it was impossible for anyone, especially wealthy families, not to know him.
His appearance made everyone gasp, except Andrius. Even the arrogant and fierce Stephen felt deterred. and afraid. He shrank backward immediately.
“Men!” Decker pointed at Stephen. “Take them back to the base for interrogation!”
“NO!” Stephen’s legs turned weak instantly and he almost fell to his knees. He was a fierce man but only when facing the wealthy families.
Compared to Decker, who oversaw the East River State with indubitable power, he was nothing but a
sneeze.
The only thing Stephen could do now was beg for his life!
“Military Governor! Sir!”
Stephen was horrified as he explained, “This is just a little misunderstanding! I am actually here to celebrate Madam Montecarlo’s birthday.”
“Celebrate?”
Decker scoffed and pointed at the coffin. “You call that a celebratory present? Are you listening to yourself?”
Stephen’s expression turned bitter. He nervously explained, “Sir! I am wrong, I am willing to make up for the mistakes. I…”
“Enough!” Decker was in no mood for his nonsense. He added, “My time is precious. You’d better not resist.”
As a matter of fact, Decker was actually nervous inwardly.
Dax had been screwed over by Andrius twice and would not want to see a third time. Therefore, before Dax left, he purposely informed Decker to maintain order in the East River State.
However, Stephen decided to cause a scene. It was not only dangerous to himself but also endangered the Warzone Master who was absent.
When Decker got the news, he brought his men to the estate immediately.
Fortunately, he made it in time and prevented the exacerbation of the matter.
7.”
Stephen was nervous and afraid. He looked at Decker and begged, “Sir, may I make a call?”
A call?
Decker scoffed. No calls would be any use in front of the Wolf King. Even if the call was for a deity in the heavens, even if the call could reach Hades of the underworld, none of them had any power before the Wolf King in this realm.
Stephen took his silence as permission granted. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and started to make multiple calls.
“It’s me, Stephen. I’m at the Conerys‘ estate, and I’m surrounded by the state military government Can I ask for a favor…”
“Favor? Go f*ck yourself!”
“I don’t know who you are.”
“Get away from me! I don’t want anything to do with you!”
No one answered his call for help when he said he was surrounded by Decker and his soldiers.
Some of them hung up on him, some of them cut ties with him, and some pretended that they did not
know him.
No one offered aid.
What a joke!
Who would want to oppose the state military governor?
It was suicidal!
The devastating outcome shocked him. He felt like his world had collapsed on him. He fell into despair and endless anxiety. Despair was smeared all over his lifeless face.
“I have given you the chance, but you wasted it,” Decker scoffed. “Men, take them all away!“
Chapter 409
With the order given, the soldiers went up and apprehended Stephen and his men.
Stephen’s hands, legs, and neck were cuffed.
His men were also similarly cuffed, and there were at least two soldiers escorting each man away from
the estate
No one would have thought that the notorious Stephen Hoffman would end up in cuffs.
In less than half a minute, all the men were escorted into armored trucks
Before they left, Decker and his soldiers stood in line and bowed at a 90–degree angle to Andrius for a whole three seconds.
Other than giving the command and reasoning with Stephen, Decker and his soldiers said nothing throughout the entire arrest.
The Conerys were left stunned after Decker left.
Jane was petrified. The others‘ jaws dropped as if their jawbones were dislocated. What happened just now was beyond their comprehension.
The state military governor, Decker Armstrong?!
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the most powerful man in East River State. Even so, the man came all the way to the Conerys‘ estate just to arrest Stephen, preventing him from causing a scene
In the end, he and his soldiers even bowed!
They bowed to…
Jane’s heart skipped a beat as she turned in the direction where Decker and his soldiers bowed.
Luna and Andrius were there. She instinctively ignored Andrius, so there could only be one answer: they were bowing to Luna!
Holy sh*t!
Luna knew the state military governor?!
They seemed to know each other well!
If the Conerys could use this to their advantage, the family would be on track back to their former glory!
While Jane pondered her next move, Edgar and the other masters went up to Luna.
“I suppose you are the Wolf King’s wife, the Wolf Queen, right?”
Edgar wore a flattering smile as he grabbed his son by the hair. He kicked the young man on the back of his knee and bellowed, “Apologize!”
He knew that while his son, Malfoy, might have offended Rainbow, the Wolf King was probably behind the Conerys Therefore, apologizing to Rainbow was not as important as apologizing to the Wolf King, and Luna would be the best representative
The Wolf King showed such respect to the Conerys because of Luna, and he even attended Jane’s 70th birthday event, which was the best evidence.
As long as Luna could forgive Malfoy, then Edgar’s goal would be achieved.
“Wolf Queen, I was wrong. Please forgive me,” Malfoy cried terribly as he begged for forgiveness.
Luna was baffled.
The fathers of Malfoy’s other friends grabbed their respective sons to face Luna and made them kneel in front of her as well.
“Wolf Queen!”
“Please forgive us!”
“It was our mistake! We swear we won’t do it again!”
They all knelt down in unison and it somehow looked grand.
Since when did Luna become the wife of the Wolf King, the Wolf Queen?
She could not just stand there and watch a bunch of rich young men kowtow before her. She immediately said. “You guys, please get up!”
Their fathers took her words as a sign of forgiveness, hence their delight.
“Thank you!”
“Thank you, Wolf Queen!”
The young men knocked their heads on the ground a few more times before getting up on their feet.
“Wolf Queen…” Edgar then said timidly, “Please continue your grandmother’s 70th birthday celebration We don’t want to ruin the day for you, so we will be on our way!”
With that, the bunch of gentries and their sons left in a hurry.
Jane and the Conerys remained stunned on the spot. Their eyes widened, jaws dropped and they were
baffled.
It was unbelievable!
Luna was the wife of the Wolf King!
Chapter 410
Chapter 410
One man might be mistaken, but a whole bunch of rich men, some being the most influential figures in the capital?
Luna’s own words might not be as convincing, especially when Decker, the state military governor, came all the way here.
It was something worth pondering.
Why would all of them fake it?
“Luna, do you really know the Wolf King? Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”
“Luna, I’m sorry that I offended you earlier. Please forgive me!”
“My good niece, it’s been a while since we had a reunion. Why don’t you come to my place later tonight?”
The family members finally regained their composure, and all of them started to flatter Luna to win favors
“Luna…” Jane got up from her seat and walked to Luna with a merciful smile. “How close are you with the Wolf King?”
The others were intrigued as well. It was the million–dollar question that they wanted to know the most
“…” Luna looked troubled. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know the Wolf King, but he’s helped me a few times. The Crestfalls, New Moon Corporation, and many other problems… The Wolf King has helped me to overcome many obstacles.”
She was certain that the coincidence from all the previous events was the Wolf King’s intention. As for why, she had no idea.
Jane looked thrilled. “Luna, the Wolf King is a man with great power, and everything he does holds a deeper meaning. He won’t simply go around helping people without interest. I think the Wolf King likes you!”
The other family members agreed.
“Yeah! Luna, the Wolf King likes you!”
“Luna, why does the Wolf King only help you and not others?”
“There’s no news about the Wolf King helping others except for you. Isn’t it obvious enough?”
“It’s already so obvious. Luna, why don’t you reconsider your marriage?”
“You should really kick Andrius away!”
The temptation from the Wolf King’s name was infinite
If Luna could be with the Wolf King, even as his mistress, the Conerys‘ social status in the East River State would skyrocket. It would be a matter of time for them to become one of the strongest and richest in the whole country!
They all tried to brainwash Luna into believing that the Wolf King liked her
Even Renault joined the fray “Luna, a man like the Wolf King can only be met, not sought You must seize this chance and reciprocate his feelings if it’s possible, please mention me in front of him as well. When climb higher in the ranks, the whole family benefits! As for that caveman, Andrius
Renault glanced at Andrius contemptuously and scoffed “If it’s not because of the Wolf King, he would have dragged you and the family down Why are you still keeping him by your side?”
Luna did not say a word, but Rainbow could barely hold her laughter back.
Andrius was not in the mood to entertain such nonsense.
The others then bombarded Luna with more questions and queries after Renault.
Luna could barely handle them, let alone talk to Andrius.
Andriùs got up and left the premises. Looking at his watch, the Spec Ops Forces event would be starting
soon.
“Andy!”
Rainbow chased after him. She thought Andrius was angry with her family for being shallow, so she said, ” They are blind and ignorant. You don’t have to care about what they say.”
Andrius glanced at her and said, “I am the Wolf King that commands a million Lycantroops. Am I that kind of guy?”
Rainbow stuck her pink tongue out and teased him.
“I’m going to the military district to attend to some matters,” Andrius said as he continued forward.
“The military district?”
Rainbow’s eyes shone brightly.
Renault said there would be a Spec Ops Forces event later in the afternoon and that the Wolf King would be there, so Andrius must be referring to that.
With that, Rainbow chased after him once more and curled her arms around his. She asked, “Andy, bring me along! I want to have a look! Come on, come on!”
She sandwiched Andrius‘ arm in between her chest and did not notice how tempting her actions were to a virile man like Andrius.
“Come if you want to,” Andrius said as he quickly pulled his hand out.
Soon, a limousine with a military flag in front arrived in front of Andrius.
A soldier came down and saluted Andrius. “Wolf King, sir! Your ride is here!” He then opened the door for Andrius.
