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.
As soon as his voice subsided, an untimely scoff sounded.
Stephen glared at Andrius coldly. “No one in the East River State has the balls to keep me down!”
Chapter 406
“I’m here as well…”
Independently, they might not be the top or the strongest, but by teaming up, even the old Crestfalls might have to step aside!
Chapter 407
“There’s also us, the Falkners!”
“And me, Lance Song!”
“Gravik Kansas from the Kansas family!”
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.”
“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
“You will go down, but you won’t drag anyone with you.” Suddenly, another cold voice came in front

Not even an ant could get through the human barricade, let alone a person.
The man was Decker Armstrong, the military governor of the East River State!
“Men!” Decker pointed at Stephen. “Take them back to the base for interrogation!”
sneeze.
“Celebrate?”
Decker scoffed and pointed at the coffin. “You call that a celebratory present? Are you listening to yourself?”
When Decker got the news, he brought his men to the estate immediately.
A call?
