Chapter 521
Lyra said solemnly, “Ms. Crestfall, the field of medicine is complex and vast like an endless sea. It’s not something that can be achieved overnight. I’ve been studying it for more than half my life, but I still have a long way to go.
“Treating illnesses and saving lives should not be underestimated! You should think about it carefully. before making a decision, alright?”
In fact, Lyra could not agree directly either. After all, the Wolf King’s medical skills and identity were clear. Lyra would be overstepping her boundaries if she taught Luna.
“I’ve made up my mind, Dr. Artemis!” Luna was firm. She wanted to catch up to the Wolf King, and this was a necessary step.
“H–how about this?” Lyra pondered for a moment and replied, “Ms. Crestfall, let me think about it. I’ll call you back later, okay?”
She decided to ask Andrius first.
“Okay!”
“Then, I’ll wait for your good news!” Luna nodded and left.
After she left, Lyra immediately called Andrius. “Mr. Doctor, Ms. Crestfall just came to the clinic and said she wants to pick up medical skills from my grandfather.”
“If that’s the case, then ask your grandfather to teach her.” Andrius did not think much about it.
“Okay” Lyra responded obediently, then asked, “Mr. Doctor, are you free tomorrow?”
A true gentleman would sacrifice his life for a bosom friend, and a woman would preen for her sweetheart. Lyra really wanted Andrius to see her skills.
“Tomorrow…” Andrius thought about it and replied, “I’m not free.”
“Oh… Then, goodbye, Mr. Doctor. I’ll hang up now.” Lyra hung up the phone reluctantly.
Andrius was just about to put his phone in his pocket when he received a call from Sonia.
“Mr. Andrius, Ms. Crestfall just came to the office and wants to see you.”
“What did you tell her?” Andrius asked.
“I said you’re not at the office now and that she’ll have to attend the Grand Medicinal Competition if she wants to see you.”
Andrius understood.
Luna must have gone to Dr. Artemis to meet him at the Grand Medicinal Competition after hearing what Sonia said. Well, she really went to great lengths to see the Wolf King.
Andrius felt helpless. He already tried his best to keep her from being deeply involved with him and avoided her.
However, life was unpredictable. No one could anticipate what would happen in the next second.
He hung up the phone.
Andrius rode a scooter to the garage.
“Andy, good job on killing Cyclops. Congratulations!” Noir saw Andrius coming and could not hide the joy
on his face. “I specially prepared some liquor from the military that was just airlifted today! Come, come, let’s have a few drinks!”
Then, Noir went into the house and came out with a large jar and some plates of food.
“Cheers!”
He filled Andrius‘ cup and poured one for himself with great enthusiasm.
After downing two glasses, Noir wore an understanding expression and chuckled. “Andy, you won’t come to me for no reason. Let me guess… You’re here today for Luna, right?”
He knew the Wolf King too well.
Something like killing Cyclops would not bother the Wolf King at all.
After all, the Wolf King had killed many enemies including world–famous generals in the western region as well as fearsome and legendary mercenaries…
Chapter 522
Those people would not make him feel anything at all.
On the contrary, recently, after coming to the inland city, the Wolf King was troubled by several women and often came here.
Coupled with what happened at the celebration banquet today, Noir already knew the ins and outs, so he had an educated guess.
Andrius looked at him with interest. “Then, tell me, what is it?”
Well…
Noir did not really know. He scratched the back of his head and said glumly, “Tell me, Andy I’ll listen”
Andrius told him about how Luna had gone to Celestial Enterprise to find him and then to Dr Artemis to learn medicine
Then, he asked in confusion, “Noir, do you think I should continue avoiding her?”
Noir cleared his throat and said seriously, “Andy, now that Cyclops is dead and the border is peaceful, you have nothing to worry about.
“Since Ms. Crestfall likes you so much and is trying her best to pursue you, why don’t you give both her and yourself a chance?
“Speaking of…” A cunning look flashed on Noir’s face. “A few days ago, the commanders of the Lycantroops even asked me if the Wolf King had found a Wolf Queen, and when they will have a Wolf Prince.”
What the f*ck.
A Wolf Prince?
What kind of rubbish was that?
Andrius rolled his eyes at Noir. “I’m not who Luna likes. She likes the high and mighty Wolf King who can always protect her. Besides…
“There’s the matter of the Grand Medicinal Competition, the tragedy from 20 years ago, and Old Hagstorm… There are all kinds of puzzles and complexities. Even I may not be able to come out unscathed. It’s too easy for her to get hurt if she becomes close to me.”
It was the same excuse.
Noir pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ding–dong……
Just when they toasted, Noir received a message.
“Andy, the rules for this year’s Grand Medicinal Competition are out!”
Andrius raised his brows and put down his cup. “Oh? Read them out.”
Noir read them carefully. After confirming that there was no omission, he said, “This year’s Grand Medicinal Competition is divided into four rounds!
“The first round is quite simple. It’s purely based on popularity and fame. A public vote will be held for all the doctors who enter based on society’s recommendations, self–nominations, institutional nominations, and so on.
“Everyone in Florence can use their ID as an account to log into the website and vote for up to three doctors. After the deadline, 100 individuals with the highest number of votes will enter the second round.”
Andrius nodded slightly.
This elimination saved some time.
Of course, this did not take the doctors who lived in seclusion and were not known by outsiders into consideration. They would eventually be eliminated.
However, doctors like that generally did not pursue fame. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to retire to the mountains in the first place.
“The second round is when the competition officially begins.
“The hundred doctors selected from the first round will participate in the competition together with the doctors who made the Earth Rankings of the last Grand Medicinal Competition.
“The second round will be the identification of medicinal herbs.
“Specific details will be announced by the host at that time. In the end, the participants will be ranked based on their scores. Top scorers will advance to the third round, and the lowest scorers will be
eliminated.”
As a doctor, apart from treating patients, identifying medicinal herbs was also of utmost importance.
Andrius was not surprised that it was a compulsory course.
“The third round is a poison trial. The doctors who advance from the second round will compete together with people who made the Heavenly Rankings of the last Grand Medicinal Competition.
“The host will provide prepared poisons for each doctor to ingest. They will pass as long as they can cure the poison in their bodies.”
Drinking poison and treating oneself…
That was quite interesting.
Andrius‘ lips curled into a smile.
Noir continued, “As for the fourth round…”
Chapter 523
Noir shook his head and said, “The rules haven’t been announced yet. The fourth round is a secret and will be a surprise for the participants.”
A surprise…
Andrius was speechless but did not dwell on it.
He thought of the Heavenly Rankings from back then and was confident that he could surpass most of the doctors.
However, the top five…
They were all extraordinary people. They were basically monsters who dominated countless other exceptional doctors with their own strength. Even Old Hagstorm gave them high praise.
If he wanted to win the first prize, he had to surpass these people.
Noir chuckled and said, “Andy, do you have the confidence to sweep through the Grand Medicinal Competition and win the championship?”
“It’s hard.” Andrius shook his head.
“Andy, that’s not like you at all!” Noir looked at Andrius in surprise. “I remember how full of spirit you were and how you looked down on the world when you first came to the western border!
“You led us and crushed all the invading enemies easily. After countless bloody battles, you finally climbed to the top and overlooked the world. Why are you so…”
Noir paused, then continued, “Why are you so submissive now?”
Andrius was stunned for a moment, then suddenly guffawed. “You’re right, Noir. Since I, Andrius Moonshade, came down from the mountains, I’ve been victorious in every battle…
“I look down over everything in the world. I succeed in every endeavor. I stand alone at the peak.
“Today, I will break through all obstacles and claim the crown with unparalleled dignity!
“No matter what kind of doctor they are, I will use my invincible strength to defeat them! Truly great men look at the present!”
That heroic posture. That peerless elegance…
This was the Wolf King in Noir’s heart!
Noir was infected by Andrius‘ spirit and went into the house to get another bottle of wine. He filled their cups and lifted his own, saying, “Cheers, Andy!”
Andrius also picked up his glass.
They shared their drinks with hearty laughter.
In the emperor’s study in the Hall of Serenity, Kiyoto.
Crash…
Registus swept everything off the desk, smashing them to pieces. However, he still felt angry and kicked the table over.
“Useless! They’re att useless, especially that Cyclops!
“He calls himself a legendary master of the Western Nations, but in the end, Andrius completely beat him. He was just a good–for–nothing!”
Registus had just received the news that Cyclops failed his mission and was killed by Andrius. Even the assassins sent by the Second War God to assist Cyclops were all annihilated. Not a single one survived.
How could Registus not be furious?
“Please calm down, Your Majesty!”
The Second War God was also angry, but no matter how angry he was, it would not help him destroy Andrius. He could only vent his anger on himself.
His eyes flashed with a sinister light, and he advised, “Cyclops was one of the trump cards of the Western Nations. The Western Nations will definitely hate Andrius now that he’s killed Cyclops.
“They have always wanted to kill Andrius. This time, their hatred will run even deeper.
“I believe that if we inform them that Andrius killed Cyclops and provoke them a little, they will use surely try to use various means to deal with him.”
The Second War God was an ambitious man. Since he had decided to go to war against Andrius, he would not easily admit defeat until one of them fell.
“The Western Nations…” Registus contemplated for a moment, his eyes filled with hidden worries. “Once they get involved in the plan to deal with Andrius, it’ll cause the western border’s Lycantroops to go out of
control. At that time….
“Neither the Western Nations nor the Lycantroops can be controlled. There may be another war.”
What he described was highly probable!
The Lycantroops…
They surpassed the Western Nations to rise up in the first place, and the hatred between the two sides. was deep. The slightest provocation could lead to a fight.
Moreover, they were going against the leader of the Lycantroops, the Wolf King!
If the Lycantroops discovered their intentions, it would be no different from declaring war.
The Second War God narrowed his eyes with a sinister look and said, “As long as we can kill Andrius, the Lycantroops will be without a leader. They’ll be much easier to control.
“At that time, we can take control on the pretense of avenging Andrius. The Lycantroops will follow our orders without question!”
Chapter 524
“With the Lycantroops, destroying the Western Nations will be an easy task!
“We’ll be killing two birds with one stone!”
It had to be said that the Second War God’s plan sounded foolproof and tempting.
Registus was tempted and fell into thought.
“Okay!” After weighing the pros and cons, he finally gritted his teeth. A fierce light flashed across his eyes as he agreed to the suggestion. “I’ll leave this matter to you, but remember!
“Absolutely, under no circumstances, let the Lycantroops find out that this is our plan. Otherwise, not only will the plan not be effective, but once the Lycantroops become wary, the situation will go out of control!”
The Lycantroops…
Registus loved and hated and feared them.
“Got it!” The Second War God nodded and left the Hall of Serenity.
After thinking about it, he took off from a secret base and flew for several hours before landing in Lanton, the capital of Arbral, the most powerful country in the Western Nations.
Then, in the name of the Second War God, he met the highest–ranking marshal of Arbral, Kabreh.
Kabreh had pale skin, blue eyes, and blond hair. He was around 60 years old and was decked out in
medals.
He looked at the Second War God and narrowed his eyes. His expression was unreadable as he asked, Second War God of Florence, what important matters bring you here?”
The Second War God got straight to the point and said fiercely. “I want to join forces with you to hunt
Andrius Moonshade down.”
“Andrius Moonshade?” Kabreh’s eyes twitched, and his expression changed slightly.
He stared straight at the Second War God and asked in a low voice, “By Andrius Moonshade, do you mean the Wolf King of the Lycantroops in Florence?”
“Yes!” the Second War God responded without hesitation.
Kabreh fell into silence.
The Wolf King.
Of course, he wanted to kill the Wolf King.
After all, even if sat down for three days and three nights, he would not be able to finish listing the number of elite troops from Arbral who had died in the Wolf King’s hands.
The problem was that Andrius was extremely strong. Furthermore, he had his guards as well. Killing him was easier said than done, and trying to kill him might backfire instead.
If the plot was exposed, it would cause the Wolf King and the Lycantroops to fight back….
That would definitely spell disaster.
When the Second War God saw Kabreh remain silent for a long time, he knew what Kabreh was thinking, so he curled his lips and said, “Cyclops is dead.”
Kabreh’s body jolted, and his face filled with shock as he looked at the Second War God.
Cyclops was a legendary master of Arbral. Kabreh had assigned him to infiltrate Florence and wait for an opportunity to strike.
However, he was dead!
“He planned to kill the Wolf King but failed and was destroyed by the Wolf King instead.”
Kabreh suddenly stood up, his expression changing.
According to that…
That meant the Wolf King had long since held a grudge against Arbral!
Maybe he had already started to plan in secret.
Tap…
Kabreh tapped his index finger on the expensive sandalwood table, pondering how to deal with this situation in the future.
“If you’re willing to cooperate, I have a solid plan.”
The Second War God knew that Kabreh was already tempted. All he needed were some excuses and a reasonable chance of success.
Sure enough, after the Second War God spoke, Kabreh raised his head and asked, “What plan?”
“In a few days, one of Andrius’s former generals, Marcus Freely, who is now the mayor of Sumeria, will come to the western border for an inspection. We can start with him.”
Kabreh’s eyes gradually lit up as he listened. He smiled sinisterly. “The Wolf King values loyalty and righteousness. He once said something like ‘I’ll never leave a comrade behind‘, and he stuck to his words!
“As long as we capture Marcus…
“Even if the Wolf King knows that he’s surrounded and it’s a trap, he will still take the risk to come to rescue Marcus!” Kabreh gave the Second War God a thumbs–up. “That’s a brilliant plan!”
The Second War God also smiled sinisterly. “So, are you willing to participate in my wolf–hunting operation, Marshal?”
“No problem!” Kabreh immediately smiled and said decisively, “I’ll contact the Western Nations. After we lure the Wolf King here, we’ll launch a swift attack and leave him without a body to be buried!”

Chapter 525
In the western border of Florence, there was a small motorcade driving on the winding road.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, stretching out the shadows of the motorcade.
“Sir, there’s a relay station ahead. Let’s take a break there! Once we pass that relay station, the next one will be at Stepus a thousand miles away. We won’t be able to resupply for a while.”
Upon hearing this, Marcus rolled down the car window
The scenery outside was completely different from Sumeria, but it had its unique charm. He quite liked it.
There was the intermittent sound of camel bells.
It was a vast desert. The sights and sounds blended together to form the magnificent landscape of Florence, which was captivating.
“Okay” Marcus smiled brightly. “This should be our last stop in Florence. When our motorcade leaves here, let’s head toward Arbral. We’ll rest for half an hour and replenish our supplies.”
A few minutes later, the motorcade stopped at the relay station.
Marcus got out of the car, breathed in the different air, and felt a sense of openness.
How can one not love the beautiful mountains and rivers of Florence?
The employees at the relay station were very enthusiastic and greeted him as they approached.
“You’re Mr. Freely, right? You’re here for the inspection. Come, come, come. Please, have a seat!”
“Here is some freshly brewed kumis, one of the specialties of the western region. If you’re not used to it, we also have tea from Florence!”
“Mr. Freely, you must be tired after traveling. Would you like to wash your face?”
“Mr. Freely…”
The enthusiasm of these people made Marcus somewhat uncomfortable.
However, he could not bring himself to refuse these simple and honest people.
After some bustle, he finally broke free and went to the nearby restroom.
“Hm?”
Suddenly, he saw some blood that had not dried up in a corner.
Why would there be blood in a relay station?
Could it be…
Marcus instantly became alert.
Those people earlier had been overly enthusiastic!
He calmly walked out and caught the faint coppery scent of blood coming from the nearby utility room.
Taking advantage of no one noticing him, he quietly went in.
As soon as he did, he was shocked!
He saw several bodies lying haphazardly with the skin peeled off their faces!
Chapter 525
Marcus carefully approached them.
The earring on the left ear of one of the corpses was exactly the same as the one sent to his phone. It belonged to one of the station employees.
These corpses were the real employees whereas the people outside were imposters.
Oh no!
Those people must be coming for him!
He had to escape!
Marcus climbed out of the window, checked the situation outside, and found that his guards had already
fallen.
The imposters had already blocked his way.
A mocking look flashed in the leader’s eyes as he smiled. “Mr. Freely, since you’ve found out, I advise you to surrender! Otherwise… you’ll suffer!”
Marcus‘ face instantly turned cold, and he lunged at the person who looked the weakest in the group. Only by breaking through the encirclement would he have a chance to survive.
“Are you fighting back? Get him! Don’t let him escape!” the leader shouted loudly and charged forward
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
Both sides started fighting.
As a retired soldier, Marcus was exceptionally powerful.
However, he was outnumbered and quickly subdued. He was tied down firmly on the ground.
“Let’s go. We’ll take him back and collect the reward.”
They pushed Marcus into the car and swiftly left the place.
The small relay station was left in silence, along with a blood–red setting sun.
In the car, the leader reported to Kabreh, “Marshal, we’ve captured Marcus Freely. What do we do next?”
Chapter 526
“Lock him up in Camelback Mountain and guard him tightly. Also, call his daughter, Noelle Freely.”
Kabreh’s goal was the Wolf King.
However, he believed that news of this matter would soon reach the Wolf King’s ears, so telling Noelle directly would not appear too deliberate.
Camelback Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was also surrounded by various small hills and was located outside the territory of Florence. As a mountain, it was a good place to set up an ambush.
“Yes, sir!”
The leader immediately did as he was told.
In Sumeria, Noelle was handling a case at the police station when she received an international call.” Noelle Freely, if you don’t want your father to die, then come to Camelback Mountain immediately!”
Then, the person hung up.
Noelle was filled with doubt and was about to call Marcus to confirm the situation when she received a video.
In the video, Marcus was tied to a chair. His face was bruised and swollen, and blood constantly leaked out of his mouth. He had clearly been subjected to inhumane torture.
The end of the video was the scene of his guards being massacred.
At that moment, Noir called. “Andy, the Hawkeye Group just received news that Marcus, who was preparing to go to Arbral for an inspection, was kidnapped along the way.
“He’s currently at Camelback Mountain. The kidnappers also notified Noelle Freely, but based on the analysis, their real target should be you.”
Andrius‘ face darkened at the words.
Marcus was his former subordinate in the military, and now, he was the mayor of Sumeria. He was diligent in managing the city and making it thrive.
Chapter 527
Andrius quickly realized that that brash girl had come to save Marcus.
Thus, he caught up with her. “Uh… Noelle, you’re here because of your father, aren’t you?”
Although he posed the question, his tone was very certain.
Before Noelle could reply, he continued, “You should go back to your post for now. I’ll handle this and bring Marcus back safely.”
“D–don’t kill me!”
“I… I don’t want to die!”
“Please…”
Noelle realized that something was wrong and pretended to be afraid. She crouched down as well, but her eyes kept darting around to observe the situation in the cabin.
Soon, the group of people pushed the flight attendant closer and closer toward her and Andrius.
Bam!
“That’s Noelle Freely!”
Chapter 528
Half an hour later, the plane landed in a small town on the western border.
Noelle disembarked from the plane and immediately rented an off–road vehicle, preparing to head to the target location.
hostage. Andrius did not want to see that happen.
“Yes!” The officer immediately went to make preparations.
Ten minutes later, he arrived.
