Chapter 176
“Any price?”
Andrius peered down at Anthony calmly, seeming emotionless. “Anthony Henderson, you are the richest man in Sumeria, so I’ll show you some respect.”
He was about to deliver the ultimatum.
Anthony looked up at Andrius, horrified, but was forced to accept it.
Behind Anthony, Suletta was on her knees. Her hair was messed up and her face was pale, and when she heard the final ultimatum, she quivered as well.
She felt inferior and despair after what happened. Her arrogance and pride were nowhere to be found.
“What goes around, comes around,” Andrius said. “Anthony Henderson, you… retire. Don’t make me do it for you, or else the Hendersons will be turned upside down.”
should
Although Andrius spoke lightly, his words held immense weight. Those who heard him could not help but feel powerless because no one doubted his authority and power.
The Hendersons, the richest family in Sumeria, were worshipped and chased after by many, yet their future was stripped away by a single sentence from the Wolf King.
Anthony’s ambitions, as well as his dream to become the richest in the country, shattered into a million pieces and faded into darkness.
“What’s wrong? Don’t want to?” Andrius noticed Anthony’s silence, and his became frosty.
gaze
“I… I’ll make it happen right away!” Anthony squeezed those words out of his clenched teeth. It felt like speaking those words drained all his energy.
Then, blood gushed from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground, falling unconscious.
Suletta blacked out as well.
“As for you all…” Andrius then looked at the other dignitaries, which caused them to shiver.
“The families and companies who used to target or still targeting New Moon Corporation or the Crestfalls…” Andrius‘ expression turned cold. “You know what you should do. Don’t think of fooling me, or I will come after you myself.”
Thump!
Bump!
A number of the dignitaries collapsed to the ground, looking horrified.
“Wolf King, I’m wrong!”
“Wolf King, please spare me!”
“I’ll make amends right away!”
“Wolf King…”
The families and companies who sided with the Hendersons or the Hanshus were horrified. They knelt on the ground and pleaded.
Some cowardly ones even peed their pants.
Even the Hendersons and the Hanshus dared not defy the Wolf King’s order, let alone the smaller families. Other than begging or waiting for the end, they could not do anything else.
For a moment there, the solemn inauguration ceremony was filled with pleading, sobbing, and wailing. The shouts and sobs were painful to the ears.
The inauguration ceremony ended soon after that.
Everyone knew that the arrival of the new military governor would shift things in the city, but not one expected it to be so soon and so sudden. It was so drastic that it caught everyone off guard.
The Hanshus had been rooted in Sumeria for many years, hence their influence and
power.
However, they were expelled by a single word from the Wolf King.
The Hendersons were a titan in the city, and no one dared to defy them until now, only giving reverence and respect.
However, they were mere ants in front of the Wolf King, maybe bugs slightly bigger
than ants.
The hour–long inauguration ceremony completely shifted things around in the city that had not seen changes for the past 30 years.
The news spread like wildfire across the city, but only through word of mouth.
Marcus was afraid that Andrius‘ identity would be leaked, so all the reporters were sent home early.
The equipment was confiscated for checking and would be returned after they deleted everything regarding the Wolf King.
Everything about Andrius was erased or kept safe within the city council.
Luna had no idea what just happened.
She still believed that the end was near for New Moon Corporation and her family. She drank until she got inebriated and stayed overnight at Halle’s place.
She was still sleeping when the sun rose,
Halle was a little better when she woke up around ten o’clock. When she picked up her phone, countless news flooded her timeline.
The Hanshus were expelled, and the Hendersons were forced to retire. The news took her by storm and woke her up instantly.
She woke Luna up immediately and showed her the news. “Luna, wake up! Something huge has happened! This is huge! Things are changing in Sumeria!”
Luna said with a muffled voice, “No matter how big it is, it has nothing to do with me. The Crestfalls are being targeted. Time is running out…”
“No!” Halle stopped her and clicked on the news. She put her phone in front of Luna’s eyes. “Look, the Hendersons and the Hanshus are gone!”
“Gone, so what…” Luna did not listen to her friend properly, she simply answered without even thinking.
When her mind comprehended the meaning of the headlines, she woke up instantly.” Halle, what did you say? The Hendersons and the Hanshus are gone?!”
“Look!” Halle moved the phone closer to her face.
Luna went through the news and her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief. “The Hanshus are gone just like that?
“The Hendersons, the richest family, is retiring?”
The news shook Luna. She became drunk for one night, and things changed in Sumeria; it was such a huge change that it felt like a massive earthquake.
Many thoughts flooded her head instantly.
With the two big families gone, the resources they owned and the market share they possessed would be left idle. It would be a golden opportunity! A great shift in the game that only happened once in a century!
This might be the chance for New Moon Corporation to rise to new heights.
Luna’s eyes fluttered. Excited, she said, “Halle, this is a golden opportunity for New Moon Corporation! I have to go back to the office and see what I can do. I’ll drink with you next time!”
Then, Luna jumped out of bed, grabbed her purse, and ran off with her jacket before Halle could even react.
The empty market shares must be seized first. Luna was racing with time to seize the upper hand in this new battle.

Now, Anthony was being redone what the inauguration ceremony of the new military governin, forced to retten, way to show himself again.
How did Andrius know?
Was he connected to the new military governor somehow?
Or was her an acquaintance of the Wolf King?
