Chapter 17
However, Marcus decided not to reveal Andrius‘ true identity.
The reason was simple.
His daughter, Noelle, had come back from abroad, and her looks rivaled Luna’s.
Three to four months later when Luna officially announced her divorce, Marcus would seize the chance to introduce his daughter to Andrius.
The Wolf King was busy defending the Western Frontline, so there were only so many women around him.
Marcus believed his plan had a high chance of success.
Moreover, his daughter always admired a strong and rigid soldier, so the Wolf King would be the perfect man for her.
With that in mind, Marcus simply came up with an excuse. “When I was serving at Western Frontline, I got shot and hid in the mountains. It was Andy who saved me.”
“I see.” Luna nodded. She added, “So, you gave us the project because you want to thank Andrius?”
“Not entirely true.”
Marcus reached into his pocket and revealed a medal in his hand. “I gave you the project because of this. Andy gave me a very special present on behalf of your family.”
Luna glanced at the medal in the mayor’s hand. Her eyes gleamed as she was shocked. “Isn’t this the medal the army presented to my grandfather?”
“It is.”
Marcus held the medal tightly and strongly said with excitement, “The monetary value of this medal might be close to nothing, but its memorial value symbolizes something important. It represents the revolution that our country has gone through in the past.
“When I saw the medal, it reminded me of my days fighting in Western Frontline and how my brother–in–arms and I fought our way through the enemies. This is the main reason why I decided to give your family the project.”
The sudden epiphany rushed into Luna’s head.
Aside from saving the mayor, the medal played a big part in winning them the project. The main Teason was Master Crestfall’s medal, and Andrius saving the mayor’s life was just a little boost. Nevertheless, Andrius was a lucky man for saving the mayor.
Luna looked around and asked, “Mayor Freely, where’s Andrius?”
“He…”
Marcus looked at the table but did not see Andrius.
Where would he be?
Where could the Wolf King have gone?
As he pondered, Marcus‘ phone rang. He pulled it out to check on the text he received.
His eyes widened in disbelief!
The honorable Wolf King was arrested by local police officers!
Anxious, Marcus immediately contacted his driver to prepare the car for the police station.
“Huh?”
Marcus leaving in a hurry baffled Luna. She asked, “Mayor Freely, you haven’t told us where Andrius is…”
Master Crestfall stopped his granddaughter. “Just let Andrius explore the city for a while.”
“Your grandfather is right. He’s still new in this city. Let him have a stroll around to see how rich people in the city live their lives,” Harry echoed.
“Okay.”
The three of them then went on mingling with other guests.
All the invited guests were influential figures, so mingling with them would only benefit their family.
On the other hand, Andrius was arrested and locked up in an interrogation room.
A series of footsteps from leather shoes broke the silence, followed by the door opening.
Andrius looked at the person at the door. It was the female officer who had arrested him at the village.
The woman seemed to have received rigorous training based on her lifted chest and straight posture. She would easily pass as a professional soldier in the army.
However, the more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed. He believed he had seen the woman before but just could not remember where.
