Chapter 364
The Wolf King completely disrespected just Amadeus but also Dax Wimbleton, the Southern Warzone
Master.
Amadeus was infuriated after he heard the gunshot. He questioned the Wolf King loudly through the phone, “Wolf King, George is an important military personnel of the Southern Warzone, yet you killed him just like that. Aren’t you…”
Thump!
Despite his anger and his hastened talking speed, he was unable to finish his sentence before he heard. something falling through the phone.
George was dead, so the phone that he was holding fell to the ground.
“F*ck!” Amadeus cursed out loud when he heard the monotonous dial tone. He punched the wall beside him, leaving a hole in it.
No matter how many holes he punched on the wall, it would not bring George back to life or solve the
problem.
Amadeus immediately called the Southern Warzone Master.
Back at the train station, Luna’s patience had worn out, and she became more nervous.
Different thoughts flooded her mind, most of which were worries. Andrius had gone in for a while now. and there were no signs of him coming out. She could not wait any longer.
After struggling internally, she decided to make some calls to bring Andrius out.
“You don’t need to do that.”
Andrius suddenly tapped her shoulder.
“You!” Luna breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “What happened?”
“I was shot a while back, and there were bullets in my body that I didn’t extract, so I triggered the security system.” Andrius then simply came up with an excuse and said, “The security guards thought I was a fugitive, so they were alarmed. What happened next is history.”
Luna’s eyelid twitched when she heard Andrius.
Bullets in his body? How painful could those have been?
“Then…”
Luna’s lips opened but when she saw Andrius‘ calm gaze, no words came out from her mouth.
She wanted to ask about his body and how he got those bullets in him, but since the man was so composed, if she insisted on asking, she would only be prying his old wounds open, and it might bring back unhappy memories of his past.
That would be inappropriate.
She simply let the question slip through her mind.
“Let’s go then.”
Luna took the lead and entered the platform.
The security guards no longer stopped Andrius when he passed through the checkpoint once again since he was released from the office.
Fortunately, after the little interrogation, there was no more queue in front of the train as all the passengers had gone in.
The two of them entered the train and sat down on their seats.
“Andrius, I think I should tell you more about my grandmother.”
Luna believed that she should keep Andrius updated about her grandmother’s situation so that he knew what to expect and would not cause any trouble.
“My maternal grandfather was once a high–ranking general in the Southern Warzone. Their family was reputable then and they were known as the pillar of support in East River State. But….
“When my grandfather passed away, his connections cut him off, and the Conerys slowly declined to its current state. Now, only one of my cousins remains serving in the military, and the others became businessmen. Not being able to regain the former glory of the family has always been my grandmother’s regret,” Luna sounded depressed as she explained.
Andrius simply listened without saying a word.
“My grandmother originally planned to marry my mother to a military officer whose family was deeply rooted in the army so that the marriage would help the family regain their former glory.
“But my mother insisted on marrying my father, on whom my grandmother looked down. From there, the two families suffered a fallout. The Crestfalls and the Conerys never contacted each other ever since. until today…”
Luna sighed. She smiled, but there was a hint of self–mockery in it. “If not for the relationship between New Moon Corporation and Celestial Enterprise, which is rumored to have military support, I’m afraid my grandmother would never contact us until the day she is buried.”
Andrius smiled but did not comment on it. Luna’s explanation was similar to what Noir told him before. Like what he said to Noir before, the bigger the family, the more focused on benefits it would be.
Andrius disliked it. He preferred friendship on the battlefield whereby brothers–in–arms would trust each
other with their lives.
“Oh, right. What present did you prepare for my grandmother?” Luna asked since they were talking about the Conerys.
Andrius did not answer her. Instead, he asked, “Was your grandmother ever hurt when she was with your grandfather?”
Luna thought about it for a moment and nodded.
Andrius then smiled. “Then, it should be fine. I believe your grandmother will love the present that I prepared for her.”
