Chapter 229
F*ck!
Andrius looked at the money in his hand. He sighed and decided wait for a taxi.
A while later, a familiar figure appeared before him.
Marcus!
Marcus was surprised to see Andrius here as well. He respectfully asked, “Wolf King? What are you doing here?”
Andrius helplessly explained what just happened.
Marcus‘ eyes brightened as ideas filled his head.
“Wolf King… Ahem….” He cleared his throat and said sincerely, “There’s actually a lot of knowledge regarding a woman. It’s like how soldiers prefer different weapons.
“Some like assault rifles to charge into the enemy’s frontline; some like to seize the vantage point with at sniper. Oh, don’t forget about those who liked knives and close combat.
“If you can’t get along with your woman, it means you are having the wrong weapon. No matter how good
weapon is, a soldier who doesn’t like it or cannot handle it well cannot bring out its full potential. There will be a lot of problems.”
His words made sense, but it was not his true intention. If the Wolf King could not get along with Luna, then his daughter, Noelle, would stand a chance.
Other than Noelle being a little too rough around the edges, she was not half–bad compared to Luna, and it was not a big problem. No matter how rough or rude Noelle could be, if she knew that Andrius was the Wolf King, she would be as timid as a little lamb.
Andrius was having a headache. He did not want to listen to Marcus‘ advice anymore. In a few more months, he could finally get rid of Luna and go back to his old life.
He switched the topic and asked, “Marcus, what are you doing here?”
Marcus frowned. He honestly said, “Wolf King, you have no idea. Ever since you commanded the Hendersons to retire, there are a lot of empty markets in the city, and many foreign companies are swarming into the city.
“They are rich and influential, and they have bought out quite a number of business chains in Sumeria without a second thought. They have already secured quite a large market share.
“If this continues, it will affect Sumeria’s economic growth in the future. That’s why I am here to have a
look at the matter.”
Marcus was right. Be it a village or a town, or even the entire country, the federal government always promoted local growth because it would help develop the country.
“Got any ideas who they are?” Andrius asked.
“Yeah, but it’s tough to deal with.” Marcus shook his head, seemingly having a headache. “There are a lot of different factions from different cities, but the one in the lead is the Millers from the capital. They have rooted themselves in the capital, so what we do here can barely affect them.”
The Millers?
Andrius chuckled.
“Marcus, I have a piece of advice for you. You don’t need to go after the Millers for now. Even if you manage to deter them for now, before the local companies can absorb what the Hendersons left behind, there will only be another similar to the Millers or more.
“Why not let the Millers take everything and then strike them at a critical moment, forcing them to throw up whatever they have eaten? It will also make an example out of them.”
Marcus‘ eyes shone. “Thank you for the advice, Wolf King.”
Andrius waved his hand leisurely.
“Wolf King, I don’t need to be here now that I have your advice. Why don’t I drive you back?”
“Sure.”
After Marcus sent Andrius home, he went to the police station. He was going to tell Noelle about Andrius‘
true identity.
“What are you doing here?”
Noelle showed almost no respect for her father.
Marcus touched his nose and said, “You are not young anymore, so I’m planning to introduce someone to you. Go on a date if you have the time.”
“What?” Annoyed, Noelle said, “I will deal with it on my own. Stop poking into my own matters. AND!”
She glared at Marcus and warned him without the slightest courtesy, “I’ll make myself clear. Don’t even think of using my marriage as your bargaining chip to secure yourself a higher post. Don’t even think about it! I already have someone!”
Noelle then left the room.
Marcus was agitated by his daughter’s attitude. He was left stunned on the spot, not knowing what else
to say.
Then, an officer passed by, and Marcus grabbed his hand. “I heard your captain saying that she has someone she likes. Do you know who it is?”
“I have no idea, Mayor Freely.” The officer shook his head and said, “But, the captain has been frequently visiting the Royal Garden recently. I wonder…”
The Royal Garden?
Was it not the Wolf King’s place?
Could the ‘someone‘ she mentioned be the Wolf King?
