Chapter 223
What was going on?
In the blink of an eye, a thousand thoughts ran through Jeremy’s head. He finally realized what
happened.
When Andrius confidently made the call yesterday and asked a woman named Ms. Timbend to buy
the resort, Jeremy then received a call from Sonia after a while.
Sonia had offered 300 million to purchase his resort.
He also thought of the men who had r*ped him. They must also be under Andrius‘mand. They all
looked vicious and intimidating and not a part of them looked likemon citizens. They must be from
prison.
Andrius was not just a nameless guy from the mountains!
He was not pretending! He was someone powerful, so powerful that even Sonia revered and respected
him.
The more he pondered, the more anxious he got. He sweated profusely and wet his expensive shirt.
Thud!
He knelt down before Andrius and started to plead, “Mr. Moonshade, please forgive me. I was blind and
I was not myself yesterday. Please forgive me. Spare me once, and I will do anything!”
Jeremy pleaded and cried on his knees.
Andrius ignored him and said to the security guards, “Take him away and send him to room 305.”
The men he summoned from prison had finished their meals and rested, so the ‘game‘ continued.
The security guards already knew that Andrius was the new boss of the resort. Therefore, they carried
out his first order meticulously.
They disregarded Jeremy’s struggles and screams and brought him away.
After Andrius dealt with Jeremy, he received a call from Luna.
She sounded annoyed. “Andrius, where are you? The auction is happening soon! Come down to the
restaurant and have breakfast!”
The call ended.
Andrius headed to the restaurant immediately.
Luna was halfway done. She looked at him with a straight face and said, “I said you could take a stroll
and you went to have fun? Look at the time! Hurry up and finish your breakfast, or we won’t make it in
time!”
Luna red at Andrius, seemingly trying to me him for not being punctual.
Andrius had gotten used to her attitude, so he was not overly bothered. He munched on his breakfast
quickly.
Then, a thought about the auction rushed into his mind. He simply asked, “Riverfront Entertainment
should be a hot cake. How much funds have you prepared?”
“200 million,” Luna said without a second thought.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
200 million?
Andrius might not be an insider, but he knew that the Riverfront was a promisingpany with a
future. The celebrities that it signed up hadrge fanbases, so it would definitely grow.
200 million was not enough. He believed that Luna knew it as well.
Luna suddenly looked disheartened. She exined, “We got a billionst time, but in order to hasten
the progress on the Valiant Institute project, I invested a portion into it. Plus some smaller projects, here
and there… 200 is my limit.”
Andrius frowned when he heard her but he did not say a word.
If the bidding price for Riverfront Company exceeded 200 million, he had ns to use his own money
to get thepany for Luna. He would consider it a present to her. It was no big deal.
After breakfast, the two of them headed to the auction hall.
A few stepster, a young man in an Armani suit stopped Luna. He whistled and teased her frivolously,”
Hey, girl. I like you. Can I have your number? Let’s be friends.”
Luna sized the man up from top to bottom and saw nothing but branded items. She was not bothered
though. She simply asked, “Who are you? Why should I be friends with you?”
Several other men came out from behind the young man, all looking arrogant and proud.
“Hey, babe. This is the young master of the Millers from the capital, Charlie Miller!”
“Young Master Miller wants to befriend you because he likes you. Don’t be such a killjoy.”
“Yeah.”
“Hurry up. Tell us your phone number. Stop wasting our time.”
They sounded pushy and rude, and it disgusted Luna.
Andrius was simrly angry as well. Luna was his nominal wife, yet the punks were teasing his wife in
front of him.
Was he invisible? Or non–existent?
“Hey, you..
Andrius red at Charlie and said coldly, “I don’t care what kind of young master you are. Get the hell
away from my face. If you continue to harass my woman, I will shove your head into the toilet bowl.”
His words silenced everyone for at least three seconds.
Charlie did not expect someone would threaten him under broad daylight. After all, he was from a
wealthy family from the capital.
What the f*ck?
Was it because he looked nice, so others bullied him?
“Punk! You’re tough, eh? You, and you, and you, get…” Charlie bellowed and ordered his men to beat
Andrius up.
Then, his butler, Uncle Stan, held him back and whispered into his ear, “Sir, we are here on a mission.
We shoulder the family’s duty. You can get a woman after we are done with the mission..
“If we are unable toplete the mission your father assigned, he will punish all of us. We must
prioritize Riverfront Entertainment first.”
E
Charlie was fuming, but he was forced to hold his temper back.
Andrius and Luna had left by then.
Charlie had a frosty look as he watched the two of them walk away from his sight. He pouted his lips
and said to one of his followers, “Go, keep an eye on them. After the auction, I’ll get them!”
The man nodded and went after Luna and Andrius.
The auction finally started. Luna and Andrius sat down and waited.
Luna’s target was Riverfront Entertainment.
A whileter, thest item was put on auction. The auctioneer announced on stage, “Thest item for
the day will be… Riverfront Entertainment! Thispany is one of the best–performing ones, and it
was founded by the richest man in Sumeria, Anthony Henderson. It is already profiting shortly after
operating and…”
After a short introduction, the auctioneer named the price, “We will start at 800 million. Each call is a
million. Let the bidding begin.”
The floor was riled up.
“90 million!” 2
“95 million!”
“100 million! I’m getting it!”
“100? Who are you joking? 105 million!”
Luna joined the bid.
“110 million!”
Charlie’sughter came from the VIP room. “The woman is here to buy Riverfront Entertainment as
well? We must be fated.”
He immediately increased the price. “120 million.”
