DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 471-480
Chapter 471
The onlookers at the side saw the commotion and could not help but start mocking, “He keeps calling himself a young master. What a clown!”
“He’s just a clown!”
“What an eye–opening experience!”
“Hahaha…”
Zenith went pale with anger.
The other members of the Crestfalls also turned red with anger.
Was Zenith not worthy of being gifted the wine?
Who else in the room was worthy?
Could it be Andrius?
As soon as that thought emerged, it was immediately denied.
Even Zenith from the Mangolds was not worthy of being served, then how could a country bumpkin like Andrius be worthy?
There was only one truth!
The owner harbored ill intentions from the beginning. He claimed that he was gifting the wine but actually wanted them to foot the bill for the wine!
After realizing this, Zenith sneered, “I grew up in the capital since I was young and even studied abroad for many years, but now that I’m in this tiny place called Sumeria, I
encountered such a scam. It’s really ridiculous.
“Sir, if you don’t have the capacity, then don’t pretend to be a saint and bring two bottles of wine to our private room. You waited until we finished drinking and pulled such a stunt…
“Don’t you find it ridiculous?
“I’ll give it to you straight. I, Zenith Mangold of the Mangold family, will not pay! What are you going to do about it?”
After saying that, Zenith walked toward the exit while putting on airs. He believed that as the top young master in the capital, the owner would not dare to offend him.
Thus, he was arrogant.
However, reality once again gave him a resounding slap.
“Guards!” Lacles shouted.
A group of security guards rushed in. In the blink of an eye, the guards surrounded Harry, Zenith, and everyone else. Not even a fly would be able to get past, let alone a person.
“Keep an eye on them!” Lacles stared at Zenith with a vague smile and ordered, “If anyone tries to escape before paying the bill, break their legs!”
The Crestfalls‘ legs instantly locked up in fear.

The owner was serious!
Oh no!
“Zenith…” Harry pulled Zenith’s sleeve and whispered, “Why don’t you just pay the bill? Otherwise, we can’t leave.”
“That’s right, Young Master Mangold!”
“Young Master Mangold, just pay the bill first. When you get back, you can bring people here to deal with this crooked boss!”
“Young Master Mangold, a wise man knows when to retreat!”
“Young Master Mangold, there’s no need to go head–to–head with him!”
The young Crestfalls panicked.
For the past few hours, they kept calling him Young Master Mangold this, Young Master Mangold that. Now, they were asking him to pay the bill.
That would not do!
Zenith also panicked.
It was true that the Mangold family was one of the most powerful families in the capital, and it was also true that he was Zenith Mangold, the young master of the Mangolds.
However, the billions he brought with him were invested in that project, and he had not gotten his next batch of funds yet. Furthermore, after his escapades at brothels and the amount he spent on women, he had less than a million on his card…
How was he supposed to pay?
He could not sell his kidney, could he?
However, this was the current situation. If he dared to say no, Lacles might really make a move on him.
Thus, Zenith had no choice but to grit his teeth and call for help. He called his family’s phone, but no one answered.
He called his father’s phone….
Chapter 472
No one answered.
Zenith’s heart instantly chilled. He glanced at the calm Lacles, then called Luna.
Although it was a little humiliating, it was better than being crippled.
However, Luna was sleeping at this moment, and her phone was on silent. How could she answer her phone?
“Um…”
Zenith looked at the Crestfalls, then at Lacles, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
It was so embarrassing. How humiliating.
The Crestfall family was all silent. No one dared to speak at this point.
“Pfft…”
“I’m going to die of laughter. Why did you eat when you can’t afford to pay?”
“You blew your own trumpet so loudly, so I really thought that you were a young master from some rich family.”
“You can’t even afford a meal. A young master from a rich family? Bah!”
“You tried to act tough, but now you’re suffering the consequences!”
The people who were watching the drama started a new round of mockery.
Zenith’s face went from red, white, and blue to purple. It was quite wonderful to see.
He had to do something about this. He gritted his teeth and went forward to negotiate with Lacles. “Sir, it’s true that I don’t have that much money on me now, but I really am from the Mangolds of the capital. How about this? Let us go back tonight, and I’ll come back tomorrow with the money, okay?”
Zenith was afraid that Lacles would not believe him. He patted his chest and vowed, “Sir, you have to believe me. You have to believe the Mangolds!”
Lacles did not buy it. He sneered and said coldly, “I don’t care if you’re from the Mangold family or the Womangold family. If you eat at my shop, then you have to pay the bill. You can leave after paying!”
After saying that, Lacles gave the security guards a glance.
The guards rushed up at once, ready to make a move.
“Wait, wait, wait!”
In the end, Zenith was just a dandy with a bit of status. When he saw so many burly men charging toward him ready to beat him up, he could not help but feel an urge to urinate. He quickly surrendered. “It’s a misunderstanding. Let’s talk about this like civilized people…”
“Don’t civilized people have to pay for their meals?” Lacles rendered Zenith speechless with a sentence. Then, he said to the guards, “What are you all waiting for? Get him!”
Swoosh…
The guards did not hold back. They had long been unhappy with these people. Now that they were ordered by their boss, they immediately went up to beat them up.
When Zenith’s bodyguards behind him tried to fight back, it was like poking a hornet’s nest. The security guards focused on them first and beat the bodyguards to the point where they could not even take care of themselves and could only groan on the ground.
Among them, the security guard who was on duty at the entrance was the angriest, and he was the most brutal and accurate in his attacks. He beat Zenith and the others until they screamed. in pain. He had been holding in his anger at being ridiculed by the Crestfalls.
“Go on, keep acting!
“You’re the young master of the Mangold family, right?
“You told me to polish my eyes, right?
“You also said that you’ll chase me out of the door, right?”
The security guard questioned them while beating them up, letting out his frustration.
“Ahhh…”
“M–my face…”
“Sir, don’t hit my face…”
“Please, stop kicking. My kidney is ruined!” All kinds of howls kept echoing. of howls kept echoing.
“Enough, don’t kill them.” Lacles saw that it was almost enough and said to the security guards, “Take them to the basement. Only release them when they have the money.”
“Yes, sir!”
The security guard captain immediately commanded the other guards and dragged Harry, Zenith, and the others away.
They looked like pigs being dragged into a slaughterhouse.
Chapter 473
“Get in! You’d better behave yourselves. Don’t try any tricks, or I won’t spare you!”
The security guard captain stood at the door and kicked Zenith and the others into the basement one by one.
“Cough, cough…”
“F*ck, it stinks…”
“Gah! There are cobwebs!”
“B–bleurgh…”
Zenith and the others were in a miserable state.
When they entered the basement, the smell of mold and dust made them cough uncontrollably.
Some even vomited.
No matter what, these people were still from the Crestfalls.
Zenith looked miserable. His head was bleeding, and his face was black and blue.
However, for the time being, he could only keep calling, hoping that someone would come to save him. Otherwise, he would be locked up here forever.
As for the Crestfalls, they naturally lost their initial enthusiasm for Zenith. They did not even offer him a single word of comfort. There was no reason to. Although they ate well with Zenith today, it was not for free, and they got a beating instead.
They were even. Sort of.
They all held in their anger, unable to say anything.
“What’s wrong?”
Finally, after an unknown number of calls, Langley answered Zenith’s call. “You’d better make it clear to me, you brat. Why did you call me so many times?”
“Dad, you finally picked up.” Zenith could not help but cry like a little girl, “I was beaten up!”
He immediately told his father everything that happened.
“You-!” Upon hearing Zenith’s words, Langley’s voice raised in anger. “How many times have I told you? Business is important. The family business is important! You little brat… I’ll deal with you when you come back. I’ll send you 10 million, so come out first.”
Then, Zenith found the security guard captain and paid over five million for the meal.
At the hotel entrance, Harry’s expression was very unpleasant, but he still had to remain
courteous. “Zenith, thank you for the… hospitality today. We’ll head back now.”
His eye twitched slightly when he said the word ‘hospitality‘. It was clear that he was insincere.
After saying that, he led the rest of the Crestfalls and left in a dejected manner.
Zenith was also furious. He was supposed to show off perfectly, but he ended up like this…
Chapter 473
What a mistake!
What a big mistake!
However, he had no choice but to leave.
At Lunen Mountain, a bright moon hung in the sky. Its boundless radiance spilled on the earth.
When Luna woke up, it was already late. She was slightly stunned before peering at herself. When she saw that everything was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief.
That guy was somewhat honest.
Although he loved to boast, he was not that annoying.
“Did you sleep well?”
Andrius heard the noise and grinned as he rocked his chair.
“Yeah.”
Luna had just woken up, so her voice was still hoarse. Under that boundless silver light, in the beautiful moonlight, she looked languid and tempting.
It was like… holding a cat in one’s arms.
However…
Luna glanced outside the window and stretched out her fair and flawless hand. The bright silver light fell on her skin, making the texture of her palm shine brightly.
She wanted to grab a ray of moonlight and take it back with her. That way, she would not have to worry as much, right?
Unfortunately, the moonlight could never be held, and she still had to face the trivial matters. either way.
Chapter 474
“Let’s go!” Luna adjusted her seat, fastened her seatbelt, and gave the order.
“Got it!”
Andrius stepped on the gas pedal and soon disappeared in the boundless moonlight.
There was no trace at all. Only the wind knew that someone had been there.
As soon as they returned to Dream’s Waterfront, Luna received a call from Harry.
“Luna, it’s a good thing you left early today!”
Luna was stunned for a moment and asked, “What happened?”
Harry complained over the phone, “That hotel owner isn’t a good person at all. Do you remember the vodka that he delivered at first? He said that it was a gift; the finest vodka for the finest guest!
“As a result, when we went to pay the bill, they actually charged us for those two bottles of vodka. They cost more than five million. Isn’t that just daylight robbery?”
Harry was obviously frustrated over the phone and could not help but curse.
Andrius suddenly smiled. The vodka was not given to Zenith in the first place, and that man did not beg for mercy because of Zenith.
young
Everything was just Zenith being self–righteous and self–absorbed. He brought this upon himself! It was only reasonable that he was asked to pay. He was the one who wanted to show
off.
Well, now, he just looked like a fool.
“Dad…” Luna did not expect such a thing to happen and comforted, “Since Zenith is
unreliable, then stay away from him in the future.
“The Medical Society project has stabilized, so don’t cause any more trouble. Furthermore, the Medical Society will soon come to Sumeria to hold a celebration for this project. Make sure that no trouble crops up during this period of time.”
Harry was just venting and casually said a few words before hanging up.
Luna remembered that Andrius seemed to have some medical skills, so she suggested, Andrius, since you have nothing else to do, why don’t you join the Grand Medicinal Competition with me?”
“I’m not interested,” Andrius refused directly.
The Grand Medicinal Competition…
Not only did he want to participate, but he also wanted to participate in the name of the Wolf King and win the first prize!
That was because it was related to the remains of his clan members and the tragic incident of that year.
“You!” Luna did not expect Andrius to refuse so decisively. A hint of annoyance flashed on her
beautiful face. “Andrius, can’t you have some ambition? The Grand Medicinal Competition is a major event in the medical field.
“As long as you can make the ranking, your reputation will surely soar. It’ll not only bring benefits to New Moon Corporation but to you personally as well. How could you just…”
Luna spoke earnestly but found that Andrius was not listening. In the end, she let out a long sigh and walked into the bedroom angrily.
“Hey, Halle!”
Luna picked up her phone and called Halle.
“What’s up, Luna?”
Luna complained, “You know the Grand Medicinal Competition is about to start, right? Andrius has some medical skills, so I planned to get him to participate, but he said that he wasn’t interested. I’m so angry! That guy has no ambition at all. I’ve really had enough.”
On the other end, Halle’s eyes flickered. She had a deep affection for Andrius now and did not want the couple to get along.
Thus, she giggled and said, “Luna, what are you talking about? If Andrius had ambition, would he still stay in the impoverished western mountainous area? You’d be better off putting your bets on pigs learning to fly!”
Luna paused for a moment and nodded. “You’re right. Forget it, let’s not talk about him. Let me tell you what happened today…”
The two of them soon started laughing and joking.
When Andrius returned to his room, he immediately called Noir. “Noir, what’s the situation with the Lycantroops in the western region?”
Noir chuckled. “It’s quite lively. The Second War God is trying to take full control of the Lycantroops, so he has been infiltrating the eight major commanders in various ways. He tried using treats, women, and luxury… He tried everything, but it was all useless.”
Chapter 475
Andrius also laughed.
The Lycantroops‘ eight major commanders had gone through hell and high waters with him more than a dozen times. Each of them had an iron will and a backbone as strong as a mountain.
They were proud and arrogant. They were very persistent.
If they were that easily conquered by the Second War God, then Andrius should better change. his title from the Wolf King to the Wolf Puppy.
Noir continued, “Also, the Second War God abolished all the rules you set and implemented his own rules. He wants to establish a new system within the Lycantroops.
“However, the eight major commanders and every soldier in the Lycantroops refused to listen to him. They all follow the rules you established before.” Noir’s tone was slightly mocking as he reported, “It’s said that the Second War God was so angry that he ended up in the hospital!” Andrius could not help but laugh.
Once a person had tasted delicacies, it was hard for them to go back to eating leftover food.
It was not to say that the Second War God was not worthy of his name.
However, the Lycantroops were accustomed to excellent leadership and had high standards for themselves. Naturally, they looked down upon the Second War God.
“Continue to keep an eye on the Lycantroops. Also… Inform them to provide all the conveniences to the Hawkeye Group as long as it doesn’t harm the interests of the
Lycantroops and Florence. The Hawkeye Group can be of great help in investigating the truth of that event in that year.”
Noir responded solemnly, “Yes!”
“Also, send me detailed information about the most important participants in the last Grand Medicinal Competition, the top 10 in the Heavenly Rankings, and the top 20 in the Earth Rankings.”
The Grand Medicinal Competition was just around the corner.
As the saying went, know yourself and know the enemy, and you can win every battle you fight.
Although Andrius received the teachings of Old Hagstorm and always kept a low profile in Florence, he could not take this lightly. He had to prepare seriously in advance.
“Yes, I’ll get to it now.”
Not long after the call ended, Andrius received an email. He glanced at it briefly.
The top 20 in the Earth Rankings were all renowned doctors from various regions of Florence. They were all respected figures in their respective territories. Of course, there were also a few who were already very old that year. They could not survive the next 20 years and passed away. Andrius focused on the top 10 in the Heavenly Rankings. The sixth to tenth places were
2/2
famous doctors with impressive reputations.
Finally, Andrius set his sights on the top five.
In fifth place was Elmer Deleon who was 70 years old and skilled in acupuncture. He was a bona fide expert in using needles, and his techniques had reached the realm of the ‘Thousand Flowing Flowers‘. He helped countless people and was known as the ‘Divine Needle Doctor‘.
He currently resided in a certain place on a mountain.
In fourth place was Patrick Mendez who was 77 years old. He treated people with both medicine and insects. He used all kinds of strange insects as medicine, bait, and tools, and employed various mysterious and unpredictable methods to treat patients. His methods were so effective that he came to be known as the ‘Insect Doctor“.
He currently resided somewhere in the Southern Warzone.
In third place was Frederic Hopkins who was 69 years old. He was rumored to be the descendant of a famous doctor in the past. He combined medicine with mysticism, whereby he communicated with ghosts. He often treated patients with mystical techniques, spells, divination, and the unfathomable.
He currently resided in the central area of the western border.
In second place was Fergus Bond who was 81 years old. His last name used to be Briggs, but later, he supposedly obtained a medical tome passed down by a famous doctor. Then, he changed his last name to Bond. His medical skills were superb and wonderful. Whether it was acupuncture, using poison or medicine, or saving lives, his skill was nothing short of magical.
He now lived on a famous mountain in the eastern region.
The first place was Vintus Hagstorm!
His nicknames were ‘Hades Pin‘ and ‘God’s Hand‘!
No matter who the patient was, as long as Vintus treated them, they were guaranteed to live to a certain extent. Even the Grim Reaper himself would not be able to take them away by force!
His various methods of saving people were like they were bestowed by God Himself, so he came to be known as the hand of God!
Andrius continued to read.
There was nothing to be said about Old Hagstorm.
If Old Hagstorm showed up, there was no need for Andrius to worry about the first prize in the
Heavenly Ranking. He could just go home, wash up, and sleep early.
He had heard of the second, third, fourth, and fifth–ranked individuals long ago.

Chapter 476
Back then, when he was learning from Old Hagstorm, the latter often mentioned the specialties of those doctors and commented on their strengths and weaknesses. It could be considered giving guidance.
Although Andrius understood the intricacies, it was difficult for him to reach their level of expertise in their respective fields and techniques.
It seemed that it would be a bloody battle if he wanted to win the first prize!
After reading it, Andrius instructed, “Noir, register me for the Grand Medicinal Competition under the name of the Wolf King!”
“Got it!”
At the same time, in the Forbidden Palace in Kiyoto, Registus‘ face was gloomy as he looked at the two Warzone Masters and the six War Gods below him.
“Does anyone have any ideas?”
He used every method he could think of to take control of the western region’s Lycantroops but failed repeatedly, leaving him frustrated and dejected.
The Northern Warzone Master, Caestus, remembered the battle that day, and a lingering fear flashed in his eyes. He said solemnly, “Your Majesty, the Lycantroops belong to Andrius Moonshade, not Florence. There’s only one way if you want to bring them under your command!”
Registus leaned forward slightly and asked eagerly, “What is it?”
“Kill Andrius Moonshade!” A cold gleam flashed in Caestus‘ eyes.
Andrius Moonshade.
He was a pillar of Florence. He was a towering giant!
Killing him would inevitably cause surging waves, not only in Florence but the entire world. It would shake the whole world.
Even Registus‘ eyes could not help but twitch when he heard that suggestion.
The other Warzone Masters and War Gods also had solemn expressions on their faces.
It was too ridiculous.
It was audacious.
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
For a while, the hall fell into silence. The beings standing at the top of Florence were momentarily silenced.
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
Registus‘ finger tapped rhythmically on the desk as well as everyone’s hearts. They were all waiting for the emperor to make his final ruling.
After a long time, he asked, “How do we get rid of him?”
The Warzone Masters and the War Gods felt their hearts race.
Since Registus asked that question, it meant that he agreed to kill Andrius, the Wolf King!
That was a very difficult decision. Perhaps, it was also a decision that went against their ancestors‘ wills!
However, Registus still made the choice for the consolidation of his power and for his own interest!
The Second War God narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, the western region appeared calm and peaceful after Andrius suppressed the region with unparalleled force. However, those regions still harbor rebellious intentions. They’ve sent spies to infiltrate it many times and even mobilized Cyclops!”
Cyclops!
Everyone present stood at the top of Florence’s forces. However, their eyes could not help but widen at that name.
Registus‘ expression also changed slightly.
However, soon, a smile curled on his mouth. “Cyclops is someone who stops at nothing to achieve his goals. Combined with his profound and unfathomable strength, there are few that are his match.
“Now, he’s hiding in the shadows while Andrius is out in the open…
“If it’s him, there’s indeed a great chance to kill Andrius!”
Registus looked at the Second War God, his gaze fleeting and filled with endless coldness. “I’ll leave this matter to you.
“Contact Cyclops and instruct him to assassinate Andrius Moonshade before the Grand Medicinal Competition!
“If push comes to shove…”
A fierce killing intent filled Registus‘ eyes. “You can use any means necessary to ensure a swift kill. Don’t give him any chance to escape alive!”
Chapter 477
The next day, a piece of news spread all across Sumeria like wildfire.
The Wolf King, who had been officially dismissed by Florence, had registered to participate in this year’s Grand Medicinal Competition!
“The Wolf King wants to participate in the Grand Medicinal Competition?”
“Rumor has it that the Wolf King’s medical skills originated from the previous top–ranking participant of the Heavenly Rankings in a past Grand Medicinal Competition. He’s making a comeback this time to contend for the top and claim the grand prize!
“The Wolf King’s medical skills are unrivaled. It’s said that every time countless soldiers of the Lycantroops were believed to be on the verge of death, the Wolf King saved them. He’s terrifying! He’s a powerful contender!”
“So what? He’s not the Wolf King anymore!”
“Yeah, the Wolf King was dismissed and has no power now. He just wants to make a comeback through the Grand Medicinal Competition.”
There was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
There was shock, excitement, anticipation, and cynicism. The opinions varied.
“This is great!”
Luna also saw the news and was so excited that she almost jumped up like a child. She had lost contact with the Wolf King since their last meeting.
Soon after, she learned about his dismissal and was worried about him for a long time.
Now, it seemed that the Wolf King was still the Wolf King. Even if he no longer commanded over the Lycantroops, he still stood at a height that countless people could not reach, earning their admiration and awe.
Just news of his registration caused a huge uproar and widespread discussion!
The Wolf King was the only one capable of such a feat!
Perhaps…
The Grand Medicinal Competition allowed the Wolf King to advance a step further.
Luna held her phone to her chest. Her beautiful face and clear eyes were filled with longing and anticipation.
When she thought about the invitation from the Medical Society, a light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she decided to make a phone call. “Hello, I’m Luna Crestfall from New Moon Corporation. Is this the Medical Society?”
“Hello, Ms. Crestfall. How may I help you today?”
Luna asked hopefully, “I’d like to ask when and where the celebratory dinner for this project is so that I can better arrange my time.”
“Ms. Crestfall, the dinner will be held in Phoenix Manor in three days!”
“Okay, thank you.”
Luna got the details and hung up.
Three days!
For the next three days, other than work, Luna immersed herself in studying medical books. She also placed a medical book next to her desktop in her office at New Moon Corporation to study when she had the time.
Luna was stubborn and persistent by nature.
Since she took the first step and suggested meeting the Wolf King, she had already made up her mind to grow and strive to become worthy of him.
Now, it was time for her to catch up to the Wolf King. Even if she needed to use the rest of her life to pursue him, she was willing and had no regrets.
Three days passed in an instant.
The celebratory dinner organized by the Medical Society arrived as scheduled.
News of Phoenix Manor being prepared also spread throughout Sumeria, causing a sensation. Many influential figures received invitations. The Crestfall family was one of the honorees of the celebration and naturally became the center of attention.
Thus, the atmosphere in the Crestfalls was joyful and proud.
In the hall of Crestfall Manor, Belarus called for a meeting with all the key members of the Crestfalls, except for Dick and Collin.
Belarus sat in the head seat and glanced at the younger members below. When he saw Luna, a broad smile appeared on his face. “We have secured the project from the Medical Society thanks to Luna’s prescription. Thus, I have decided to appoint Luna as the next head of the family!”
The next head of the family!
Now, Luna’s position in the Crestfall family could no longer be shaken!
Harry grinned from ear–to–ear.
George looked bitter, but he had no way of objecting.
Whether it was obtaining Riverfront Entertainment, the recently formulated polity of developing into the pharmaceutical industry, or winning the Medical Society’s project this time, Luna had helped New Moon Corporation take a huge step forward. It was a great achievement.
Even if George wanted to discredit her, there was nothing he could say. He could only accept it in silence.
Chapter 478
Dick was expelled from the core circle and naturally could not object.
Clap, clap, clap!
Neat applause rang in the hall.
“Thank you
for your trust, Grandpa!” Luna stood up and looked around with a smile. “I hope that everyone will support me more in the future. We’ll make New Moon Corporation stronger and achieve greater glory.”
“Hear, hear!”
“Of course!”
“We are the Crestfalls. I believe that we’ll get better and better!”
Many of the other members followed suit and shouted.
Belarus was relieved to see everyone so harmonious and said, “Luna will represent the Crestfalls and attend the celebratory dinner on our behalf. She’ll be seeded for the Grand Medicinal Competition.”
The matter was settled.
Shortly after the meeting, Dick and Collin, who were in the old residence, received the news.
“Damn it!” Collin slapped the old wooden table, instantly breaking it into pieces. His eyes flickered fiercely as he said bitterly, “Grandpa is so muddle–headed. How can he pass on the position of family head to a woman?
“He’s senile!”
Dick’s expression was equally grim.
“Luna… That damned brat. We’re not done yet. I’ll return to the Crestfall family sooner or later and trample you on the ground. I’ll make sure you never make a comeback!”
Bam!
Just then, the wooden door was kicked open, splintering into countless fragments, some of which fell on Collin and his father.
At the same time, a middle–aged man walked in slowly.
This man was 6‘ tall with an appearance that blended into the crowd. His eyes looked plain and unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, the occasional sharp glimmer could be seen from deep within. The only distinguishing feature was his aquiline nose.
“Do you want to die, you piece of sh*t?”
“Son of a b*tch! How dare you try to rob us?!”
Dick and Collin were furious and had nowhere to vent their
anger.
A ferocious expression flashed across their faces when they saw the man’s aquiline nose.
Without a word, they both rushed toward the man, ready to teach him a lesson and vent their
frustration.
Smack!
Crash!
Bam!
Unexpectedly, the man was terrifying. They were beaten to the ground and could not get up before they could even touch the hem of the man’s clothes.
“W–who the hell are you?”
“Why did you come here?”
The two of them looked at the man with uneasiness, fear, and confusion. This man’s skills were simply beyond their comprehension. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
“That’s not important.” His voice was very deep with a trace of amusement. “Let me ask Do you want revenge?”
Revenge?
The only people they wanted revenge on were Luna and Andrius.
“Yes!” They nodded without thinking.
“Good.”
you.
The aquiline–nosed man smiled and took out a porcelain bottle, handing it to Dick. Then, he whispered into their ears.
Dick and Collin were both shocked when they heard him. They exchanged a glance and saw the hesitation in the other’s eyes.
Thus, they did not reach for the porcelain bottle immediately.
“Why? Is it too hard?” The man was sarcastic. “You can’t achieve big things if trivialities bind you. Your timidness disappoints me. I thought that as long as you two do this, it’ll help you. win over the entire Crestfall family. You’ll climb to the top of Sumeria and become uncrowned kings. Alas, now it seems that…”
The man sighed, put the bottle away, and walked out. “Forget it. I was wrong about you.”
“Wait!” Dick’s expression changed. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said made up his mind. He caught up to the man and said, “I can do it, sir!”
Collin also said fiercely, “Me too!”
“Good.” A smile flashed on the man’s face, and he threw the porcelain bottle at them. “I’ll wait for your good news.”
Chapter 479
A cab stopped at the gate of Dream’s Waterfront, and Dick and Collin got out.
“Act natural.” Dick saw Collin’s tense face and whispered, “Don’t act so nervous. What if other people get suspicious? Since we made our decision in the beginning, there’s no turning back for us. This time, we’ll be sure to make that b*tch fall into the abyss!”
Since they came here, they naturally made up their minds to do as the aquiline–nosed man said.
“Got it.” Collin took a few deep breaths and tried to look relaxed.
Dick nodded.
Then, the two walked to the front door and knocked.
“Oh?”
The person who opened the door was Andrius. He immediately made a teasing sound when he saw the father and son.
“Get out of the
way, Andrius!”
“Get lost, Andrius. We’re here for Luna!”
The two of them thought that they had already secured the overall situation with the aquiline- nosed man’s plan. As long as they succeeded, they would be able to drive Andrius away. Thus, they did not care about him at all and began to chide him on the spot.
Andrius did not like hearing those words. His expression turned cold, and he said faintly, ” What are you two doing here? Get to the point!”
“Andrius Moonshade! You’re just a wild…” Collin was too proud and almost blurted his thoughts out.
Halfway through, he remembered the fight he got into with Andrius. The remaining words got stuck in his throat, and he did not dare to voice them out.
“Andrius!”
Luna came out from the inside, pulled away Andrius, who was about to get physical, and shook her head at him.
The rage in Andrius‘ eyes gradually dissipated, and he just glanced at Collin.
That glance made Collin feel like he had been thrown into a freezer. He got goosebumps all
over.
Dick gave him a hand, shot him a look, and said to Luna kindly, “Luna, we’re here to apologize. We did a lot of introspection when we were at the ancestral home.
“I was wrong for stealing the prescription. I was greedy, cruel, and heartless. Luna, you can scold me and hit me however you want! I won’t complain at all!”
His acting was amazing.
Luna was suddenly speechless.
Collin also reacted and said with a big smile, “Luna, we were at fault before. We were wrong, but no matter what… We all share the same blood that Grandpa passed down. We’re family. Blood is thicker than water! So, I hope you can forgive us.”
As they spoke, the era
son exchanged a look and bowed deeply to Luna.
Luna did not expect these two people to suddenly be enlightened and make such a move. She quickly said, “Uncle Dick, you don’t have to do this. Please get up.”
Dick said seriously, “No! Luna, we won’t get up until you forgive us!”
“That’s right!”
They were begging for forgiveness from someone who was not mad at them.
Andrius could not help but laugh when he saw their act. “You guys…”
Luna quickly said, “Okay, I forgive you.”
After saying that, she also felt much more relaxed. This incident had always been a thorn in her heart.
Belarus was always concerned that the Crestfall family was not united. Now that Dick and Collin repented, Luna was also relieved.
“Thank you, thank you!”
“Thank you, Luna!”
The two men looked..
with relief.
Dick said, “Um… Luna, I heard that the Medical Society’s celebratory dinner is coming up, and my father appointed you as the family representative. Could you bring Collin and me along?”
“No problem,” Luna agreed instantly without any suspicion.
“Great! Luna, you’re such a saint. How could I have been so deranged as to frame you? My conscience must have been eaten by a dog…”
Dick suddenly burst into tears.
Chapter 480
Even the Oscar and Golden Globe award winners for Best Actor would feel inferior.
Luna quickly said, “Uncle Dick, we’re all family. Don’t be like this.”
“I’m just so touched…”
Dick and Collin pretended to be emotional and said a few words before leaving Dream’s Waterfront.
During the entire process, Andrius observed silently with a smile.
Only after the two left did he ask, “Why did you agree? They harmed you so badly. If the truth. hadn’t been revealed at the end, you might have ended up in jail. Don’t you hate them?”
Hate?
Luna walked into the house and said in a relieved tone, “Uncle Dick did go too far, but I have to consider the overall situation.
“Although Grandpa drove them out of the company, he wishes for the Crestfall family to be peaceful and harmonious. He doesn’t want any more infighting or unpleasant events.
“Furthermore, I have control over the overall situation now. Even if they have ill intentions, they won’t be able to cause much trouble. There’s no harm in bringing them along.”
Andrius nodded slightly.
If those two people sincerely repented, there was no need to be ruthless.
After arranging everything, when the day came for him to leave, the Crestfalls would be a complete, united, and thriving family. That would assure him to an extent. He would also be concerned if the Crestfalls fell apart.
Luna saw him remain silent and reminded him, “Rest early. After taking care of the stuff tomorrow, we’ll stay overnight at Phoenix Manor, then attend the celebratory dinner the next day.”
“Okay.”
Andrius nodded and returned to his room.
As soon as he lay down and prepared to watch the news, Noir called.
“Andy, the Hawkeye Group just sent news that Cyclops, who has been laying low in Florence for a long time, has reappeared. It seems he’s targeting the Grand Medicinal Competition.”
Cyclops?
Andrius and he were old rivals. That guy must not have good intentions if he appeared in
Florence.
Andrius sneered, “Since he’s here, it’s a good chance for me to settle the score!”
The next day, Luna went to New Moon Corporation. She arranged all the things that she had to do by herself. She signed the documents that needed to be signed and rejected the documents that needed to be rejected.
She told Danni to call her immediately if anything happened.
After arranging everything, she drove to Phoenix Manor with Andrius.
“Luna, you’re here!”
The Fullberry family was also invited this time.
Halle had been waiting. When she saw Luna’s car, she immediately came over to say hello and did not forget to shoot a look at Andrius.
“Halle, you’re here early!”
The two chatted a little.
Halle suddenly said mysteriously, “Luna, there’s another surprise today. Can you guess what it is?”
“A surprise?” Luna thought for a moment, a trace of confusion flashing across her beautiful face. “What is it?”
“You can’t guess, can you?” Halle giggled and said, “That pianist that you admired, Mr. Wilkins, is holding a concert here. I’ve already reserved seats for three.”
“Mr. Wilkins? That’s great!” Luna’s face flashed with deep excitement. “Let’s go now.”
“Okay.”
Halle took advantage of when Luna was not paying attention to give Andrius a triumphant look as if she was saying, ‘Now you can’t avoid me!‘
Andrius was already planning to leave since he did not want to get involved with Halle too much. He said, “You girls go first. I’m going to the gents.”
“Then, we’ll
go
first.”
Luna dragged Halle’s arm and went ahead.
Halle could not convince Andrius when Luna was still around since she was worried that the latter might pick up on some clues. Thus, she had no choice but to follow.
After the two left, Andrius wandered and thought about how to avoid Halle. He wanted to have less to do with her.
Suddenly, when he turned the corner, an old man bumped into him. Although the old man had white hair, he was well–dressed and distinguished. He looked like a master.
“Are you blind, kid?”
“How could you bump into us in such a large corridor? If your eyes are useless, then you can donate them to those in need!”
The old man had not said anything yet, but the two burly attendants behind him who were dressed in suits and ties angrily reprimanded Andrius. They were just about to shove him. Just then, the old man saw Andrius‘ face and exclaimed, “T–the Wolf King!”
She told Danni to call her immediately if anything happened.
