Chapter 711
Andrius‘ heart trembled.
Judging by the Black Hawk’s tone, he seemed to have discovered something. nd out?”
“Hehe…”
The Black Hawk smiled smugly as if he had turned the tables in front of the Wolf King, and said with great excitement, “I have to start from the time when I helped the head of the Kleins search for the treasure.
“He taught me a cipher belonging to the Kleins
“The seemingly chaotic lines on their backs are arranged according to that cipher. I can confirm that they form fragments of a map once restored.”
Andrius breathed a sigh of relief at those words. Then, I’ll await your good news!”
After that, the Black Hawk found some paper and a pen, observed the backs of each Kleins member, and drew a small map on the paper for each one.
After nearly an hour, he copied the back of each body onto the paper.
Another half an hour later, he pieced together all the small maps
“This is…”
The Black Hawk was dumbfounded at the map in front of him.
Andrius looked over and frowned slightly.
The map was nearly completed on all sides, except for a small area in the center that was missing.
Although it occupied less than 10% of the map, it was the crucial location of the treasure.
“It’s fine” After a moment, Black Hawk waved his hand and said, “Most of the map is confirmed now. It’s much better than before, like when we were headless flies. I can try to find it manually”
Andrius‘ expression improved, and he asked, “Do you know where this map leads to?”
“I have a rough idea.”
The Black Hawk shook his head. He was not entirely sure, so he could not give a definite answer.
Andrius thought about it.
Currently, the Crestfall family was on the fast track, and Luna won the championship at the Grand Medicinal Competition. The rise of the Crestfalls was unstoppable.
Halle was staying at the Royal Gardens, so there would not be any major issues
Furthermore, there was Dax to keep an eye out for, so there should not be any problems.
On the other hand, the emperor and the others in Kiyoto were showing signs of restlessness.
Aside from that, unraveling the Kleins secrets and solving the conspiracy behind their massacre were also pressing matters.
“We’ll set off tomorrow. I’ll go with you.”
Andrius made up his mind.
Then, he said to Noir, “Choose a good location and build a memorial for the Kleins. Pick a day for the burial.”
Now that they had obtained the map, it was time to let his clan members, who had suffered endless humiliation and torment, rest.
“Sure, Andy.”
Then, Andrius returned to Sumeria overnight.
Since he had decided to move, he naturally made arrangements beforehand to avoid any future worries.
He first called Marcus and explained the situation, asking him to take care of the Crestfalls.
Then, he covered all his bases and informed Dax as well
After everything was done, he went to sleep. He only needed to wait until early morning to leave with the Black Hawk.
In the western border, the moonlight was desolate at night, and cold winds howled.
A convoy was slowly moving on the winding road. The vehicle in the lead had a license plate from Arbral
Dozens of vehicles from the Western Nations followed behind. They were politicians and officials headed to Florence for an inspection.
Screech…
Just then, several fully loaded MPVs in the convoy suddenly came to a stop.
Groups of heavily armed soldiers rushed out. They were the security personnel responsible for the safety of these politicians.
Bang!
The soldier in the lead arrived in front of a politician and fired the first shot.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Gunshots echoed through the wilderness.
The dozens of politicians were mercilessly slaughtered by their security detail.
In less than five minutes, there was not a single survivor left.
“Move out,” the head security personnel shouted, then got into the driver’s seat of the first car and drove off.

Vroom…
A series of roars echoed.
The convoy drove toward the location of the Lycantroops‘ camp.
Upon arrival, they staged a perfect hunting scene, then left quietly.
The night was silent. It was as if nothing happened.
The moon in the sky had already been covered by dark clouds, and the earth was plunged into endless darkness.
Crackle!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the vast land as bright as day for only an instant.
Then, darker shadows followed, as if chaos was still unfolding.
Whoosh…
Rumble…
Crackle…
Flashes of lightning flickered. The boundless sky seemed to tear
apart, emitt roars.

Torrential rain arrived out of nowhere. It started in the blink of an eye, like pearls

The blood of the politicians swept across the mountains and fields under the wash of the torrential rain. The strong smell of blood spread continuously.
In the end, it pervaded the earth and the air.
Exposed bodies littered the wilderness, and blood flowed like a river.
Together, they painted a scene of tragedy.
The next day, Andrius was still sleeping in the morning.
“Mm?”
Suddenly, he jolted upright in bed. His eyes were still closed when he threw a punch at the approaching shadow.
“Andy! Stop, it’s me!” Noir hurriedly shouted.
Whoosh….
The fist came to a half about half an inch away from Noir’s forehead, but the cold wind from the fist caused his hair to slick back.
“Noir?” Andrius opened his eyes and looked at Noir in front of him. He frowned and asked, “Why are you here so early in the morning, and in such a hurry? Did something happen?”
“Something major has happened!”

Noir’s expression was unusually serious.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Last night, 36 politicians that the Western Nations sent to inspect Florence were found dead outside the Lycantroops‘ camp
“At the same time, the near–ground satellites under the Lycantroops‘ jurisdiction were also hacked and completely disabled for half an hour.”
Noir took out his phone as he spoke and opened the news app. The news articles were all about the events of last night.
“What a crude attempt to shift the blame…” Andrius frowned and said, “Any discerning person can see at a glance that this is an attempt to frame the Lycantroops.”
Noir smiled wryly. “But we have no evidence to clear our name.”
Andrius fell silent.
“The Western Nations are furious. At six in the morning, they deployed five million troops at Griffin Pass, less than a hundred kilometers from the Lycantroops‘ encampment.
“The heads of the Western Nations all issued severe condemnations and warned Florence that if a reasonable explanation isn’t provided within three hours, they will launch a full–scale war in retaliation.”
Noir’s voice was very dry.
Andrius‘ expression instantly turned dark.
Ring, ring…

Just then, Noir’s phone rang. He immediately put it on speakerphone.
“Sir, we just received news that the emperor, along with the six War Gods and the four Warzone Masters, arrived at Sumeria airport half an hour ago.
“They’re currently heading toward the garage.”

“Andy, they’re most likely coming for you.”

After hanging up the phone, Noir immediately asked, “What should we do now? Should we

“We can’t avoid them.”
Andrius shook his head and started to straighten his clothes.
After freshening up, he left the

garage.
As soon as they stepped out of the garage, a convoy slowly parked at the entrance. A group of people got out of the vehicles, each of them a pillar and trusted aid of Florence.
Among them were high–ranking members of the military, key figures from the Department of Commerce, and influential members of the Welfare Department.
They got out of the car and positioned themselves on both sides of the garage.
Then, more people came out. They were the Warzone Masters and War Gods.
The last person to emerge was Registus.
At that moment, the area around the small garage was already under the surveillance of numerous elite soldiers and various high–tech equipment that covered a radius of several kilometers.
It was no exaggeration to say that they would be gunned down on the spot if they tried anything.
“Wolf King, your entire life has been dedicated to achieving remarkable military achievements for Florence, and you’re invincible and undefeated in battles.
“You established the Lycantroops and allowed Florence to stand strong in the east side of the world, dominating the land and avoiding the scourge of war. You’re truly the savior of Florence!”
Registus approached step by step.
His gaze swept around before firmly landing on Andrius. His expression was full of emotion, and his words were full of lament.
“However, the Wolf King now finds himself residing in an obscure garage in Sumeria. This is
fault! It’s Florence’s fault! It’s the sorrow of the millions of citizens in Florence!”
my
Registus‘ words were impassioned and full of self–blame.
Andrius listened to him sing high praises of him and remained expressionless.
“What brings you here, Your Majesty?”
He could not be bothered with this farce.
Registus did not speak and shot a look at the Third War God standing beside him.
The Third War God immediately pulled out an imperial decree and read it aloud. “Florence receives the blessings of heaven and earth, and the citizens live in peace and enjoy prosperity.
“However, the Western Nations‘ desire for our destruction remains.
“Today, they advance eastward with five million troops as their spearhead. Their forces are at Florence’s borders, and turmoil threatens to upset the order of the world.
“All of Florence’s territories are under threat, and millions of Florencians‘ lives are in peril
“Therefore, Andrius Moonshade is ordered to reclaim the position of Wolf King and lead the Lycantroops to the western region to crush the Western Nation alliance and restore peace to Florence!
“Once the lands are tranquil again and the weapons are laid to rest, the emperor shall share a feast with the Wolf King celebrating the success of the campaign!”
After finishing, the Third War God handed the imperial decree to Andrius.
Registus said sincerely, “Andrius, this battle concerns the dignity of Florence and the countless citizens of our nation.
“I’ve observed Florence, and although there are many talents and valiant generals, only you are fit for this battle!”
Chapter 714
“Oh, please!”
Registus‘ efforts were quite impressive.
However, Andrius did not respond to the decree and said casually, “Even if the Western However, Andrius did not respond
Nations have a million troops, they’re just a
“As long as there are no traitors causing unch of small fries.
trouble, the Lycantroops can easily sweep them away
like mowing grass without me overseeing them.”
Andrius knew very well that Registus‘ intention for him to resume his role as the Wolf King was not solely due to the Western Nations‘ invasion. It was because he had rescued the Black Hawk and obtained clues about the Klein massacre.
The truth about that year was gradually being revealed.
Registus was panicking!
However, the more panicked he was, the clearer the truth became to Andrius.
“Wolf King…”
A cold light glimmered in Baron’s eyes as he stepped forward in feigned concern. “Times have changed, and the united forces of the Western Nations pose a significant danger at the border! I believe that you have to take on this mantle!”
Andrius merely smiled without speaking.
The Northern Warzone Master, Caestus Rembrandt, also put on a show and said, “Wolf King, Florence needs you! Just your appearance alone will make the Western Nations‘ troops tremble in fear!”
Andrius continued to remain silent.
The Third War God also stepped forward and spoke righteously, “Wolf King, we might have had some disputes in the past, but our nation is in crisis now. Please set aside your past grievances and take command of the Lycantroops once again.
“I believe that as long as you step up, our enemies will be vanquished! As long as you armor and take the lead, victory will be assured!”
don your
They were quite eloquent. They came to find him when trouble arose in the west.
Andrius could not help but suspect that there was a connection between the two.
“No need.” He did not bother with the Warzone Masters and War Gods. His sharp gaze fixed on Registus with a hint of indifference. “I made my stance clear when I was in Kiyoto.
“Noir, send our guests out!”
Noir instantly grinned and came up to Registus. “Your Majesty, Andy and I haven’t had breakfast yet. We were just about to make some bacon and eggs. Do you want some too? it you’re not used to our meals, you can always go back and enjoy your gourmet dishes.”
As the great emperor, Registus had never been humiliated like this before. However, he did not dare to be arrogant and put on airs in front of Andrius.
“Hmph!”
Registus felt like there was a heavy boulder on his chest suppressing him. He snorted coldly and left with a wave of his hand.
The Third War God, Baron, and the others also followed suit and got into their cars.
After getting into the car, Baron glared fiercely at the garage behind them and asked in a cold voice, “Andrius isn’t cooperating. What should we do now, Your Majesty?”
The Third War God and the others all had angry expressions.
“Since he doesn’t want to resume his title as the Wolf King…” Registus sneered. “Then the Lycantroops shouldn’t expect to win any battles. Let them perish in the smoke of war!”
The people in the car all felt their eyes twitch, and they clenched their teeth and nodded.
When the Lycantroops were under his control, they were the Lycantroops of Florence.
However, when they were not under his control, they were the Wolf King’s Lycantroops. In that case, there was no need to keep them. They had to be completely annihilated!
“When the Lycantroops fall, Andrius will also lose the ability to fight with us. We can do with him as we please!” A sinister smile curved at the corners of Registus‘ mouth as he ordered, Convey my command to the Second War God to proceed according to the new plan!”

Chapter 715
At the garage, Noir watched the emperor’s car leave and also sensed that something was strange. “What do we do now, Andy?”
“It seems like we can only wait for now.” Andrius did not let down his guard at all. “A war is about to break out in the western region. The Lycantroops are like my brothers. I can’t leave them at this critical moment.
He gazed toward the west with a hint of concern. “What I’m worried about is not the five million troops from the west but the internal turmoil brewing within Florence…”
Noir’s expression also darkened slightly at those words. As the captain of the private guard, he knew the Lycantroops‘ combat prowess very well.
They were an invincible force that could even reach the heavens to pluck the moon from the sky!
However, the strongest fortresses were often exploited by weaknesses from within.
Trouble was clearly brewing in Florence.
Andrius thought for a while and issued an order. “Noir, inform the Black Hawk that there has been a change of plans. We’ll delay the decision for a few days.”
“Got it!” Noir immediately did as he was told.
“Phew…”
Andrius sat on the second–floor balcony and lit a military–issue cigarette.
The pungent smoke filled the air. Through the wisps of smoke, Andrius seemed to see the scenes of raging battles and bloodshed on the western border.
For a moment, he felt deeply melancholic.
Screech…
Just then, another car without a license plate stopped at the entrance of the garage.
A burly figure got out of the car. It was the Southern Warzone Master, Dax.
“Andrius, you should have heard about the situation at the western border, right?” Dax’s expression was heavy and solemn. “The fires of war have been ignited.”
Andrius‘ eye twitched slightly.
How quick
Dax looked in the western direction, his expression lacking its usual calmness. “In my opinion, something big will happen in Florence if we don’t resolve this conflict quickly.
“The order of the universe will be reversed, and the land and seas will be upended Countless lives will
suffer!”
Andrius was already annoyed, but now he had to listen to Dax’s nonsense. He said bluntly. Get to the point.”
Dax frowned and said, “I think that you should return as the Wolf King and lead the Lycantroops to launch a decisive attack against the invaders.
“This battle doesn’t just have to be fought. It has to be fought masterfully, ruthlessly, and with overwhelming momentum and brilliance
“It has to be fought until the leaders of the Western Nations suffer from headaches and weak stomachs upon hearing the name of the Wolf King!”
Andrius laughed in exasperation and shook his head. “You don’t understand. This is Registus‘ scheme
“I made a deal with him. As long as I’m the Wolf King, I can’t investigate the Klein massacre from 20 years ago. As the last hope of the Klein family, how can I just ignore them?
“It goes against the principles of morality and ethics.”
Dax fell silent.
Yes, he could not persuade Andrius.
If someone killed his entire family, he would find the murderer even if he had to travel to the farthest ends of the earth and down to hell. He would tear their tendons, strip their skin, and gouge out their innards!
Otherwise, his anger would not be appeased.
Andrius comforted him. “I was the one who established the Lycantroops. I know how strong they are.
“As long as there aren’t any internal problems in Florence, the Lycantroops are more than enough to counter five million Western Nations soldiers.
“You just need to keep an eye on your Southern Warzone. Also…”
Andrius said solemnly, “Take care of the Crestfalls for me.”
“The Crestfalls…”
Dax could not help but laugh.
The Lycantroops and Wolf King were in a crisis, but even now…
Chap 716

Chapter 716
Andrius unexpectedly still cared about the Crestfalls.
Dax looked at Andrius and sighed. “You’re quite sentimental.”
Andrius smiled and said, “Old Hagstorm saved me and raised me, showing me great kindness. Furthermore, Grandpa Belarus saved his life. I would be an unworthy disciple if I forgot this debt of gratitude.”
Dax did not say anything more and just gave Andrius a thumbs–up.
Nothing had to be said.
These days they spent together were enough for him to understand what kind of person Andrius was.
“Well, I’ll take care of the Southern Warzone.” Dax patted Andrius‘ shoulder, leaped off the balcony, and left behind his voice in the wind. “Do whatever you want boldly. I won’t hold you back.”
Andrius’s thoughts drifted away as he watched Dax’s departing figure.
From the current situation, it seemed that Registus must have played a significant role in the Klein massacre 20 years ago.
However, the exact details were still unclear according to the details they had now.
Andrius pondered over it but was still clueless.
At night, the wind started to pick up, whistling and howling. It was accompanied by the bitter cold and ruthless roaring.
Crackle…
Thunder rumbled, resounding one after another. It was almost identical to the scenes at the western border from those days.
In an instant, rain permeated every corner of Sumeria. The surging force poured from the heavens down to the earth.
At the same time, bad news continued to come from the western border.
It was like explosions on the horizon, making people panic and feel uneasy.
At 10 p.m. outside Griffin Pass, the Western Nations dispatched a million troops and launched a barrage of artillery fire.
Over a thousand fighter jets took off, along with tens of thousands of tanks and nearly a hundred thousand artillery rounds.
The formidable firepower reduced Griffin Pass, the entrance to the western part of Florence, to ruins. The Lycantroops stationed there were all killed without exception.
Griffin Pass fell in just half an hour!
At 11 p.m., the Western Nations pushed forward with an unstoppable momentum. They swept through each stronghold and destroyed every defensive position. Wherever they went, their firepower was released, leaving no trace of any fortifications or soldiers.
At 3 a.m., the army broke through checkpoint after checkpoint as if conquering uninhabited territory.
In just a few hours, they occupied almost a fifth of the western territory in Florence. They were now less than 300 kilometers away from Yatburg, the capital of the Western Warzone!

Their accomplishments and the situation astonished the world.
Florence trembled!
They came too quickly and too suddenly.
In just one night, Florence was already in turmoil.
“H–how could the Western Nations suddenly unite and send five million troops to attack us?”
“Five million troops, along with the combined elite and technology of dozens of countries. Even though the Lycantroops are known to be invincible, they might not be able to withstand it!”
“Could God be giving Florence a trial?”
“It’s a shame that the Wolf King has already passed away. Otherwise, those foreign barbarians would never have dared to flaunt their power! We would’ve crushed them on the spot!”
Since the war broke out at ten, most Florencians had not gone to sleep yet.
Furthermore, they were all paying attention to the changing international situation.
The people of Florence immediately panicked when they heard the news.
At that moment, a headline appeared on various major news outlets, coming from officials in Kiyoto. “The Wolf King is not dead. His loyal spirit prevails! He will restore peace and stability to the nation!”

Chapter 717
As soon as the news appeared, Florence was thrown into commotion.
“The Wolf King… The Wolf King is still alive?”
“Didn’t the official announcement say that the Wolf King died in the battle on Camelback Mountain?”
“Why do I feel like official statements are unreliable? One moment, they say the Wolf King is dead and they’re building memorials all over the country, and the next moment they say he’s alive.”
There were some who expressed their doubts.
After all, Registus previously issued an imperial decree for the national mourning of the Wolf King.
It had been a big deal, but now….
It was very suspicious to suddenly claim that the Wolf King was not dead at this critical juncture.
“The Wolf King is alive! That’s great!”
“Wolf King, quickly take command again. Florence needs you! The Lycantroops need you!”
“I hereby petition to the Wolf King, no matter what the reasons behind the previous announcement were. please consider the overall situation, the vast lands of Florence, and its people. Stand forward and expel the invaders!”
“Wolf King, please lead the Lycantroops into battle and deliver a crushing blow to those ambitious wolves from the Western Nations. Drive them out of our homeland!”
“Wolf King…”
Many people appealed for the Wolf King to step forward and fight for Florence and the pure–hearted
people!
Heroes always emerged among the people of Florence in times of crisis, and the Wolf King was the most radiant hero in their hearts. He shone eternally like an undying star
Soon, a post by a netizen went viral.
“Wolf King, my name is Tom I’m just an ordinary person from Florence, but at this crucial moment of our nation’s fate and its people, I’m willing to use my flesh and blood as a wall against the enemy and keep all invading foes out of our borders!
“I believe that as long as you raise your arm, there will surely be countless young men of Florence willing to bear arms at your command. They will strike wherever you point and emerge victorious!
“Florence never lacks soldiers We have a hundred thousand youths who would volunteer to be soldiers!
“Wolf King for the sake of our land and people, please take back the command of the Lycantroops Grasp the whip of the heavens, cleanse the realm, subdue the enemy, and restore order once again!”
When this post emerged, it accumulated millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes, shares, and more in just half an hour
It was clear that the people’s emotions were worked up with hope.
In Crestfall Manor in Sumeria, as a veteran, Belarus had been paying close attention to the conflict at the border
Luna was the Wolf King’s admirer and had not relaxed her attention for a moment, waiting for the Wolf King’s response to these matters.
Chapje
One of them was the head of the Crestfalls who had been in charge for decades.
The other was both the champion of the Grand Medicinal Competition and the woman whom the Wolf King specially cared for.
They were both capable of guiding the Crestfalls.
Thus, everyone in the family paid close attention to this matter.
“Dad, tomorrow is your 70th birthday. What do you think?”
The person who had spoken was Harry.
Although he was the second–born, he held great sway within the Crestfalls and ranked third in authority
thanks to Luna.
“What do I think?” Belarus looked distressed and smiled bitterly. “War is brewing on the western border,
and our lands are in turmoil.
“Do you still want me to hold a feast to celebrate my birthday when the nation is in peril? I would bring shame to my name if I did that!”
Although those words were sharp, they reflected Belarus‘ innermost feelings.
Chapter 718
Countless passionate Florencians had the same thoughts.
Hearing this, Harry lowered his head in embarrassment. “Yes, I was inconsiderate.”

Luna suddenly stood up and said softly, “Grandfather, actually, I think we can use this opportunity. The Crestfalls can host a charity birthday banquet and donate all the gifts received to the soldiers on the western border.”
Ever since Luna won the championship at the Grand Medicinal Competition, she had become the undisputed leader in Sumeria.
Even though Celestial Enterprise still had the backing of the Wolf King, they willingly accepted second place because Andrius chose to step back.
Even across the entire East River State, the Crestfalls was rising in prominence. Whether it was wealth, reputation, or influence, they were leaps and bound better than when Andrius first arrived. It was no exaggeration to say they were soaring to new heights.
Dominating the entire East River State would not be difficult. It was just a matter of time.
Luna wanted to make use of this influence to do something for the Lycantroops, which would also be doing something for the Wolf King.
“Good!” Belarus‘ expression improved upon hearing Luna’s suggestion, and he nodded in agreement. Harry, go make the arrangements now.
“In the name of the Crestfalls, we’ll raise funds for the warriors fighting on the frontlines!
“I haven’t been on the battlefield for a long time, but I never expected that I would still be able to contribute in my own way. How truly heartwarming…”
At those words, his eyes brightened, and his spirits were high. It was enough being able to serve Florence!
Afterward, Harry took care of everything, but Luna had a hidden agenda.
Based on her understanding of the Wolf King, he would definitely attend this charity event. It was another opportunity for them to meet.
This time, she needed to take the initiative. She would not let herself lose composure and be defeated the moment they met like the last time!
Luna immediately opened her contacts and dialed the number on the top.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable…”
Luna’s brows furrowed when she heard the mechanical voice.
After a moment, she tried again but got the same message.
-Thus, she drove to Celestial Enterprise.
“Ms. Crestfall, what brings you to Celestial Enterprise today?”
Although Luna’s status had changed, Sonia’s attitude did not change much.
Luna took out an invitation from her bag and handed it over. “Ms. Timberland, my grandfather is celebrating his 70th birthday tomorrow. We will be holding a charity lunch at the Grand Ocean Hotel.
“In the name of the Crestfalls, we will lead the effort to raise funds and resources for the Lycantroops fighting on the frontlines. We kindly request your attendance.”
Sonia accepted the invitation, glanced at it casually, and placed it aside.
“Ms. Crestfall, you didn’t come all the way to Celestial Enterprise just to deliver an invitation, did you?”
This matter could easily be handled by an assistant or secretary. It was not necessary for Luna to have come personally.
Luna also smiled and said, “I’d like to invite the Wolf King too. This also represents the Crestfalls‘ support for the war going on in the west and for the Wolf King himself.”
“I understand. I will convey your message, Ms. Crestfall.” Sonia already knew that Luna came here for the Wolf King.
“In that case, thank you in advance.”
Luna had no choice but to leave after failing to meet the Wolf King.

Chapter 719
Luna went back and prepared for the birthday charity lunch the next day with her father.

In the garage, Andrius‘ expression darkened when he saw the news online. “Damn you, Registus!”
He understood the strength of the Western Nations and the combat prowess of the Lycantroops.
Just as he told Dax, the Lycantroops were more than capable of handling any problems on the western border as long as no one intentionally sabotaged them. Even if all the countries emptied out their resources, they would be no match against the Lycantroops, much less cross the borders!
However, that was exactly what happened.
That could only mean one thing.
Registus deliberately played dirty tricks and caused the Lycantroops to suffer defeat.
He was willing to sacrifice the country’s territory and the lives of the soldiers just to force Andrius out of hiding and obstruct his investigation into the Klein massacre.
“Registus Ohger!” An icy glint flickered in Andrius‘ bright eyes like falling stars and collapsing suns. “Since you’ve gone this far, don’t blame me for being unkind!
“If you want to use this method to force my hand, I have ways to counter it!”
At most, he would just take up the mantle of the Wolf King again.
Then, he would have the Black Hawk, Elmer, and Fergus continue to investigate secretly.
That way, he could consider both the interests of the country without delaying the investigation into the Klein tragedy. It was a win–win situation!
At that thought, Andrius immediately made a video call to the Black Hawk. “Black Hawk, the situation is urgent now. I need to step forward and take control of the Lycantroops, so the investigation into the Kleins‘ treasure and the massacre will be handled by you, Elmer, and Fergus.”
His tone was very serious.
The Black Hawk’s voice was quite relaxed. “No problem, but…”
He chuckled and said, “Andrius, since Registus decided to fall out with you, he must have many tricks planned. You’d best be careful. Don’t die just as I find the treasure, or I’ll take all of it for myself.”
Andrius laughed and said nothing.
Die…
Registus would not be enough to kill him.
They ended the call.
Andrius looked to the west, his gaze turning cold. He did not know who those clowns in the west must have listened to for them to dare try and attack Florence. They must have a death wish!
This time, Andrius wanted to settle things once and for all and eliminate all future problems!
Ring, ring, ring.
Just then, a call from Sonia came. “Mr. Moonshade, tomorrow is Master Crestfall’s 70th birthday. Ms.
Chat
Crestfall just came to Celestial Enterprise to invite you to the charity lunch hosted by the Crestfalls. It’ll be held at the Grand Ocean Hotel in Sumeria. They plan to donate all the proceeds to the Lycantroops.”
Andrius raised his brows. He did not expect Belarus to still care about the war even at 70 and use his position to contribute one last time.
How admirable!
Andrius respected Belarus‘ approach and agreed decisively, “Tell them that I’ll be there tomorrow.”
He had already decided.
After dealing with everything in Sumeria, he would head to the western border.
He would raise the Wolf King’s banner again!
He would lead the army and fight against those cretins from the Western Nations. This charity lunch would be a final farewell!

Chapter 720
The next day, Andrius got up early.
After taking a shower, he put on a suit and wore a mask. He looked dignified, handsome, and overbearing!
Since it was a farewell, he had to dress appropriately.
After everything was in order, he headed to the Grand Ocean Hotel.
Not one minute later, Dax arrived in a car.
He found Noir and said hurriedly, “The emperor issued 18 imperial decrees in a row. He’s determined to summon the Wolf King back to the west. The decrees have already reached Sumeria! Where is Andrius now?”
Noir said very calmly, “He’s on his way to the Grand Ocean Hotel.”
Dax got his answer and immediately made arrangements.
The Grand Ocean Hotel was already packed with people and noise.
Thump!
Thump!
Clang!
A large stage had been set up at the hotel entrance overnight, and the most famous band in Sumeria was performing on it.
When they heard that the Wolf King would be attending today’s event, they volunteered to play music here to congratulate Belarus on his birthday and bid farewell to the Wolf King.
The drumbeats were powerful and soul–stirring.
A pair of banners were hung at the entrance of the hotel.
“Celebrating Master Crestfall’s 70th birthday and his loyalty to Florence.”
“The might of the Lycantroops stretches for thousands of miles, bathing in blood to protect our borders.”
The theme of the day was clear in those two sentences.
The guests who attended the event were no ordinary people either. The underground parking lot was already filled by the prestigious families who had arrived early.
The Juxury cars that came later wound from the entrance of the hotel and stretched for at least a mile The most luxurious cars were limited editions and were worth tens of millions. Even the least luxurious cars were worth at least a few million.
The Crestfalls were flourishing in Sumeria now. All the prestigious and wealthy individuals who received the invitation letter arrived as soon as possible with smiles on their faces. It was clear that it was an honor to be invited by the Crestfalls.
Furthermore, the emperor clarified on the official website that the Wolf King was still alive!
When the Crestfalls sent out the invitation letters, they also announced that the Wolf King would appear
Chapter 120
2/2
at today’s luncheon.
After some thought, the people noticed some clues.
The Wolf King always had close ties with the Crestfalls.
Therefore, no one dared to be careless at this critical moment. They all came to celebrate.
At that moment, Belarus, the star of the day, did not stay in the large hall on the first floor of the hotel. He stood at the hotel entrance along with Harry, Luna, and other young members of the family, looking into the distance with anticipation.
Belarus was waiting for Andrius. He believed that Andrius would definitely come on this day.
“Master Crestfall, I come on behalf of my family to wish you a long and blessed life!”
“Master Crestfall, I, Sonia Timberland, represent the Timberlands and wish you a long and healthy life!”
“Grandpa Belarus, I, Halle Fullberry, represent the Fullberrys to wish you a happy birthday. May your life flourish more and become more glorious!”
“Master Crestfall, I, Lyra Artemis, represent Artemis Clinic to wish you fortune and health. May all your wishes be fulfilled!”
“Master Crestfall, 1, Noelle Freely, represent the Freelys to wish you joy and radiance. May you live a long life of happiness!”
Time slowly passed, and Sonia, Halle, Lyra, Noelle, and the others arrived.
Since today was a charity lunch, the donation segment was reserved for later. They were just offering their blessings at the moment.
Although there was a smile on Belarus‘ face, his heart did not feel truly joyful because Andrius had not shown up yet.
Luna’s smile was also stiff, but it was because the Wolf King had not arrived yet.
Finally…
Chanter

Chapter 721
Belarus could not take it anymore. He said in disappointment, “Have any of you seen Andrius?”
Andrius…
The Crestfall family’s enthusiasm dampened significantly when he mentioned that name.
In their eyes, Andrius was a troublemaker, a jinx, and a bloodsucker. He was not worthy of staying in the Crestfalls, let alone be compared with Luna.
Harry pursed his lips slightly and said, “Dad, today is your big day. Andrius would have come on his own if he were sincere, but since today also involves sending the Wolf King off to war, you shouldn’t pay too much attention to him.”
He phrased it tactfully, but George, Roxy, and the others were not as polite.
“Dad, Andrius isn’t a good person, so stop thinking about him. He definitely won’t show up since he knows that the Wolf King will come today. He’s afraid of being compared to the Wolf King.”
“That’s right! Andrius is a total scumbag and got complacent just because Luna gave him some money. He must have already forgotten all about you!”
“Master Crestfall, Andrius not coming today is a good thing for both him and us. If he shows up and clashes with the Wolf King, who knows what chaos the feast will turn into?”
The Crestfalls all chimed in disdainfully. They felt that it was better if Andrius did not come.
Luna knew what Belarus was thinking. Since she did not see the Wolf King, she was a little disappointed and frowned. “Grandpa, don’t keep trying to make us get back together. It’s impossible between us. We have no feelings for one another and don’t owe the other anything.”
Upon hearing this, Belarus‘ expression turned unsightly. He wanted to scold Roxy and the others.
However, he needed to figure out where to start.
Luna had made her stance clear. Even if he forced them to get back together, she would not be happy
Everything depended on Luna. The ultimate decision lay in her hands.
Belarus felt extremely helpless.
It was supposed to be a joyous day, but his face contained a hint of frustration.
Soon, all the invited dignitaries and other expected guests arrived.
Belarus did not see Andrius, but he could not neglect everyone else either. Thus, he had no choice but to enter the hall in disappointment and prepare for the luncheon.
Luna nervously found Sonia in the crowd. “Ms. Timberland, the luncheon is about to start. How much longer until the Wolf King arrives?”
Luna’s heart felt uneasy when she did not see the Wolf King.
Sonia smiled faintly and said, “The Wolf King will keep his word. Since he said he’ll come, then he’ll definitely come. The luncheon can proceed as usual.”
Hearing this, Luna left feeling assured
Then, the luncheon started.
“Ladies and gentlemen…” Belarus went on stage and smiled as he looked around. “Thank you all for
Chapp
taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my 70th birthday ceremony. However…”
At that point, Belarus‘ tone shifted and became solemn. “Our country is facing a crisis. Ferocious enemies lurk in our western region, posing a threat to our borders. It seems they plan to invade our land and sweep across Florence.
“I’m just an old man. At this critical juncture, although I want to help, I lack the power to do so.
“All I can do is take advantage of this day to hold a charity luncheon to raise funds for the Lycantroops.
“The only thing I hope for is the swift restoration of our land, and nothing more.” After saying that, Belarus bowed deeply toward the audience below.
Clap, clap, clap!
Applause immediately erupted from below like a tsunami.
“Master Crestfall’s righteousness is truly inspiring. We will do our best to contribute whatever we can and offer our assistance!”
“Master Crestfall, when the country is in danger, it’s every person’s duty to stand up. While soldiers fight on the battlefield, we naturally have to provide financial support and resources!”
“There are no intact eggs in a broken nest. No one can run when the nation is at stake. Master Crestfall, we support you!”
“Master Crestfall…”
Voices rang out with conviction amidst the applause.
Some were sincere, some were just going with the flow, some were impassioned, and some donated generously.
Regardless, every person conveyed their stance.
Belarus nodded with satisfaction and raised five fingers. “In that case, to kickstart the donations, on behalf of the Crestfalls, we will contribute half of our assets–ten billion!”
Ten billion!
As soon as those words were spoken, the people were left dumbfounded.
First, they marveled at the rapid growth of the Crestfalls which went from having several hundred million worth in assets to tens of billions in just a few months.
Second, they marveled at Belarus‘ grandeur. He was actually serious and donated ten billion in one go. That was completely unheard of.
Chapter 722
“Sonia Timberland from Celestial Enterprise will donate ten billion.”
The second person to step forward was Sonia, who also made an absurd donation.
The other dignitaries were stunned.
What the hell? Did their money fall from the sky, or did she have a personal money–printing machine? How could she be so generous?
Many people felt that the amounts they were planning to donate at first were too stingy. They quickly contacted their families and discussed it, seeking approval.
“The municipal government of Sumeria donates ten billion!”
The
Wow.
person who spoke was Noelle, who represented Marcus and the municipality.
All the dignitaries present were shocked.
Another ten billion? That must be several years‘ worth of tax revenue for Sumeria.
However, on second thought, it made sense.
Marcus came from the military. Now that the western regions were in turmoil and he could not personally go to the battlefield to fight, this approach of contributing funds was reasonable.
“I, Marlowe Hale, donate eight billion!”
Another loud voice rang out, and everyone turned to look.
It was Marlowe Hale, the most famous jewelry tycoon in Florence. He had once crossed paths with Andrius at Phoenix Manor. Andrius had saved his life back then, so donating eight billion was completely reasonable.
“I, Mateo Clayton, donate five million!”
In the past, there were three major families under Anthony Henderson, the richest man in Sumeria. They were the Timberlands, the Hendersons, and the Claytons.
Among them, the Timberlands merged with Celestial Enterprise, the Hendersons were destroyed by the Wolf King, and the Claytons were not that well known since they were extremely low–key.
However, at that moment, the Claytons stepped forward and contributed a huge sum.
“Bronwyn Saunders of the Saunders contributes a billion.”
“Halle Fullberry of the Fullberrys contributes a billion.”
“The Kanes…
“The Strongs…”
“Artemis Clinic donates a hundred million!”
“The Lamberts…”
Chapter 722
The people continued to announce their donations.
What surprised Luna was that Lyra also donated a hundred million. This was the accumulated earnings of years of treating illnesses. They often earned millions for treating patients from wealthy families.
Donating a hundred million was the limit.
However, what made Luna anxious was that the donation segment was nearing its end, but the Wolf King had yet to appear.
Could the Wolf King be occupied by something and could not come today?
Luna’s imagination started to run wild.
Just then, a clear and vaguely familiar voice sounded from outside. “Master Crestfall, even at 70 years of age, you still worry about the affairs of the country. How truly admirable! I wish you a long life with blessings flowing like the sea. I donate a hundred billion!”
At those words, the entrance opened.
Radiant light shone, dazzling the eyes.
A dignified figure strode in, following the boundless light. His head was held high, and his steps were confident.
He wore a suit and a familiar wolf–shaped mask on his face.
It was the Wolf King!
Seeing that familiar posture and aura, someone in the hall shouted loudly, “The Wolf King!”
Then, noise immediately erupted.
“Wolf King!”
“Wolf King!”
“Wolf King!”
Everyone was excited, and their spirits soared. They shouted with brilliant expressions.
Not only did the Wolf King come, but he also donated a hundred billion. It surpassed the total sum donated by all the dignitaries present!
Sure enough, the Wolf King was extravagant in his actions.
A hundred billion…
Even the top families from the capital could not produce such a large amount. However, the Wolf King could.
The dignitaries could not help but conjure up an image in their minds: the Wolf King, standing with his hands in his pockets, towering over all.
That was the true portrayal of the Wolf King!
All the dignitaries looked at the figure in the light, their thoughts surging like a tide. “Andrius…” Halle looked at the figure and murmured, “No wonder you left the Royal Gardens to me. Even a top–quality mansion like that is just mediocre to you, isn’t it? But what I want to
know is… What am I in your heart?”
Halle did not know the answer.
Chapter 723
However, there was one thing she was clear about: she still had a place in Andrius‘ heart. Otherwise, why would he have given her the Royal Gardens specifically?
Unlike Halle’s internal struggle, Noelle only felt admiration, similar to how she once admired the First War God. She knew that Andrius was the indomitable Wolf King who would not stand by as the western border
fell into turmoil.
Sure enough, he came.
This was Andrius Moonshade!
He was a loyal soul of Florence, the backbone of the people, and the eternal hero in her heart.
Lyra looked at the figure and murmured, “Mr. Wolf King… Are you really going to the battlefield? I want to cook for you again…”
“Mr. Moonshade…”
Sonia watched him walk forward and could not help but recall their first meeting. Back then, she had been arrogant and treated Andrius like a lackey.
Later on, she realized that he was unparalleled and even saved her family.
From thus forth, Andrius transformed into the exalted Wolf King, a ruler overseeing all things like a monarch passing judgment on traitors.
However, from the start till the end, Andrius‘ attitude toward her had not changed much. He was not swayed by external matters and his own emotions!
Even with how Luna treated him, he would complain a little at most, but every time the Crestfalls faced danger, he would resolve everything for them.
If there was a perfect person in this world, it must be Andrius!
The most excited person was undoubtedly Luna.
The Wolf King was here!
This was the first time she had seen him since the bar incident. There were no young girls involved between them, and no ‘ordinary female friend‘ either.
Her feelings were pure and clean like the start!
When the Wolf King stepped forward to donate a hundred billion…
This was not merely a donation of a hundred billion. It was his determination to turn the tide and support
Florence!
This was what a true man of Florence should be!
This was the perfect man in her heart!
Luna’s eyes sparkled upon seeing that familiar figure, her gaze reflecting his image.
“Wolf King…”
Andrius did not come, but the Wolf King did instead. After a moment of shock, Belarus immediately stood up to show respect.
“Wolf King…”
All the guests and dignitaries also stood up at that moment in unison. Reverence filled the air as far as the eye could see
“At ease…” The Wolf King smiled slightly and gestured. “You don’t have to treat me like the Wolf King here. Just consider me an ordinary person.”
Those were words that only he could understand and were directed at Belarus. It was him expressing gratitude toward Belarus, who protected him when he was with the Crestfalls. It was also him expressing his respect as Old Hagstorm’s disciple.
However, in the eyes of the others, the Wolf King was acting humble despite his status being high above them all. This made them respect and admire him even more from the bottom of their hearts.
Swoosh…
The sounds of rustling filled the air as the guests sat down.
The Wolf King nodded. Then, he took out a black card and headed to the donation box in front of Belarus…
“That’s…”
Luna was slightly stunned when she saw that black card.
It looked familiar.
Then, she suddenly remembered. She had seen this card when she was packing Andrius‘ belongings.
She already found it familiar when she was packing. Once, there was a time when Andrius bought something off an auction at a high price. He had to prove that he had money on his card and go to a bank.
It was the same card!
At the bank, the balance showed an impressive row of Os.
After recalling this scene…
Whoosh…
Luna immediately stood up from her seat and went up to the Wolf King before anyone could react.
Then, she reached for the wolf–shaped mask on the Wolf King’s face without any hesitation.
“Luna, don’t be disrespectful!” Belarus was shocked and immediately shouted in alarm.
However, he was too late.
Swoosh!
Luna removed the Wolf King’s mask, revealing a familiar face below.
It was none other than Andrius!
