Chapter 27
In the blink of an eye, a dozen armed thugs were beaten to the ground.
Andrius’ fists were as tough as iron. No one could get up after taking a punch from him.
When Raphael sensed Andrius’ gaze, he broke out in a cold sweat.” You… Stay away from me! I have Castlerock Corporation and the Stormbrews’ support!”
“I know.” Andrius approached Raphael with a frosty grin. “That is why I am using you to prepare a gift for the Stormbrews.”
With that, he grabbed Raphael’s head and slammed it onto the ground.
Bang!
The boss of the Dragon Gang was killed just like that!
Andrius went over to the unconscious Noelle and used her pager to request reinforcements. He waited until the reinforcements arrived before he left the bar.
While he was on his way back to the office, Luna received a text on her phone. The men who ambushed her the other day were from the Dragon Gang.
Luna frowned. As a Sumerian, she knew about the Dragon Gang and the underworld forces. Those people lived off their reputation, so when they received a task and payment, they ought to complete it to the fullest. Therefore, it was safe to say that she had become the number one target of the Dragon Gang.
With this horrifying thought in mind, she called her father and informed him of the Dragon Gang.
“Luna, calm down. I have a friend who has connections with the
underworld. I can ask him to help us talk to the Dragon Gang.”
“Okay. Thank you, Dad.”
Luna was still afraid and nervous after the call.
Three minutes later, Harry called back.
Luna asked anxiously, “Dad, what did your friend say?”
“Luna, don’t worry. The boss of Dragon Gang is dead!”
Luna was shocked.
Dead? The boss of Dragon Gang was dead?
It took Luna a while to accept the fact. She added, “Dad, how?”
“I don’t know about the details, but my friend said it was a gang fight. The gang’s rival went to their bar and killed him, including his right- hand men.” Harry added, “You don’t need to worry now. You don’t need to care who killed him. All you need to know is that the Dragon Gang won’t come after you anymore. Your priority is to launch the Valiant Institute project and also collect all the payments from Northern Point’s projects.
“The Valiant Institute project is very important to us. You have to oversee it yourself,” Harry reminded. novelbin
“I understand, Dad. I’ll go to Northern Point and close all the projects,” Luna said in a delighted mood.
After the call, she contacted Athena to prepare for an outing.
When they were at the building entrance, they ran into Andrius.
Luna’s expression turned gloomy. Displeased, she questioned him, ” Andrius, do you know what time it is now?”
“Half past ten,” Andrius said indifferently after a glance at the wall clock.
“The day is almost over, and you’re here now? What are you planning to do here at this time? I’ll consider you absent for half a day. Your full attendance for this month is gone. If you are late again, I’ll deduct your salary.”
“Okay.” Andrius shrugged. He was not bothered at all.
Athena suddenly picked up the stench of copper in the air. She frowned and asked, “Ms. Moonshade, why do you smell like blood?”
Andrius’ heart skipped a beat.
Shit!
He had gotten blood on himself when he fought Dragon Gang.
Athena, who used to be a soldier, was trained to detect blood, so there was no way the stench could escape her nose!

Luna frowned. She sniffed the air before she looked at Athena with a confused look. She was not a soldier, so there was no way for her to determine what smell it was.
Andrius simply came up with an excuse. “Maybe I passed by the market earlier and got some chicken blood on my shoes.”
“I suppose so.”
Athena recalled Andrius’ disappearance when they were attacked by the eight men. If he was already terrified by a small group of attackers, how would he have the courage to kill someone or worse?
Andrius breathed a sigh of relief. He did not want Luna to learn his true identity to save himself the trouble.
After Luna and Athena left, Andrius went looking for Noir at Noir’s
Workshop instead of going into the office. The workshop was Noir’s
cover in Sumeria.
He served as a technical instructor in the army before he was the captain of the Shadow Wolves. He could fix tanks on land, jets in the sky, aircraft carriers, and submarines in the water. He was probably one of the best mechanics in the country. He also earned the title of Best Repair Soldier for five years straight.
Repairing a car was child’s play to him.
Andrius took a bath in the workshop. While he was drying his hair, he said, “Business looks good. You’re doing great, my boy.”
Noir scratched his head. “Come on, Andy. Stop teasing me. I can only fix things other than carrying out infiltration and assassination.”
Andrius leisurely sat down in the fauteuil and chuckled. “At least, you have a set of skills that won’t starve you.”
“Why are you here, Andy? Shouldn’t you be an assistant in the CEO’s office?” Noir asked.
“Don’t even get me started.”
Andrius’ expression spelled helplessness when he heard Noir. “All I want now is to get an excuse for the woman to divorce me. I hope these three months can pass faster.”
With that said, his phone rang. It was from an unknown number.
After he answered it, he heard a familiar voice.
“Captain Noelle Freely of the Sumeria Police Department!”
“How did you get my number?”
“You are the Crestfalls’ son-in-law. It isn’t that hard to get your number,” Noelle answered.
“Oh, then what is this about?”
“Where are you now?”
“Noir’s Workshop.”
“I’ll be there in ten minutes,” Noelle spoke as succinctly as usual. The call ended without a sign.
Noir asked curiously, “Who’s that?”
“Marcus’ daughter. Someone who is even more unreasonable than Luna Crestfall,” Andrius answered helplessly.
In less than ten minutes, a police cruiser arrived in front of the workshop. Noelle came down from the passenger seat.
Andrius remained seated with his legs crossed.
“Captain Freely, to what do I owe this visit?”
“Where were you this morning?” Noelle asked.
“I was…”
“Don’t tell me you were working in New Moon Corporation. I’ve asked the receptionists, and they told me you didn’t turn up for work.”
“Captain Freely, going to work or not is my call. Why do you care?” Andrius rolled his eyes at her.
Noelle looked into Andrius’ eyes and said seriously, “This morning, the biggest gang faction in the city, the Dragon Gang, was eliminated, and their boss was killed together with his men.”
“What does it have to do with me? Are you suspecting me of murder?”
“You’ve fought the Dragon Gang before. I have a solid reason to make you a suspect.”
