Chapter 186
After Andrius left the Rising Dragon Hotel, he went back to the Crestfalls‘ estate.
Belarus, Harry, and Luna were all there.
Luna looked pale and had yet to recover from the shock.
“Andrius, you’re back.”
Belarus bitterly chuckled when he saw Andrius and continued, “We must look like a joke to you.”
Andrius was not bothered at all. “Every family has their own problems.”
“I agree.” Belarus sighed and then explained, “The conflict between our family and the Crestfalls in the capital, the East River State, happened a long time ago. It’s been so long that I almost forgot about it.
“Back then, my father was still around. In order to select a qualified heir to the family business, he treated me and my brother fairly and wanted us to compete equally for the position. I followed my father’s teachings to be honest and serious about work and to maintain a humble heart.
“I gained quite the support and got the advantage at a certain period of time. However, it did not last…”
Then, Belarus‘ voice grew deeper. “As father aged, he became susceptible to illness. I knew his days were limited. That’s why I spent more time with him. When I was away, my brother used his dirty tactics to pull my support away and gained control over the family.
“When my father passed away, I realized what he had done, but it was already too late.”
Belarus shook his head, sounding bitter with his explanation. He sounded casual when he mentioned his brother’s ‘tactics‘, but everyone, including the Crestfalls and even Andrius, knew what he meant.
“My brother was still worried about me threatening his position after Father passed away, so he accused me of a false crime and expelled me from the family, forcing me to move to Sumeria. Now…”
Andrius knew what happened from there on.
Idris was a heartless man. He tried to get rid of Belarus for good and refused to give his brother a chance to make a comeback.
“Oh right, what did you do to Cain?”
When the question was asked, both Harry and Luna looked at Andrius as well.
Andrius simply said, “Nothing in particular. I just taught him a lesson that he’ll remember for life.”
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Andrius did not hold back and caused more problems than solving them.
A lesson that Cain would remember?
They simply assumed it was just a beating, so nothing bad would happen.
It was getting late.
“Grandfather, it’s late. We have to go back now,” Luna said to her grandfather before driving back to Dream’s Waterfront with Andrius.
Back at home, when Andrius was walking towards his room, Luna spoke to him.
“Andrius, thank you,” Luna thanked him sincerely.
“You’re welcome.” Andrius turned around and smiled at her, “We are just pretending, but we have to make It convincing. No man would stay back and do nothing when his woman is taken away and tortured, am I right?”
He winked at Luna, and it somehow warmed her heart.
Andrius sounded frivolous.
When facing off against the Hendersons, the Hanshus, and now the other Crestfalls, no one was able to step up to deal with the problem directly like he had It was good enough that others did not take advantage of their situation.
Luna instantly recalled all the incidents that happened in the past few months.
The Valiant Institute’s construction site, the Hendersons, the Hanshus, and now…
As she combed through the details, she realized Andrius had never stepped back in the face of problems. No matter the problem, he was able to step up and handle it like a man.
With that in mind, she realized that he was quite a commendable person.
At least, he fought for her and was powerful.
It should be considered a plus point!
