Chapter 304
“Wolf King, it’s my fault for not teaching my son right, hence giving him the chance to offend you.”
Dexter knelt beside Peter, kowtowing repeatedly to ask for forgiveness. He knew that once. Andrius put the blame on him or his son, the entire Carmines would be done for.
“Enough,” Andrius said casually. He added, “I can spare you and your family in Kiyoto, but you will have to surrender half of your current assets.”
Half?!
It was a severe punishment.
The Carmines had gone through multiple generations of hard work, internal conflicts, and business expansion to reach the current scale. Now, Dexter was forced to surrender half of them.
“Yes. Yes. I will surrender half of our current assets. Immediately!” Dexter nodded repeatedly. He dared not argue with the Wolf King.
Surrendering half of his family’s assets was a severe punishment, but it was better than what the Millers and the Crestfalls of the capital had suffered.
“I will make the necessary arrangements when I go back and deliver them to you at once.”
Dexter finally knew why Sumeria was ground zero for multiple incidents and why the wealthy families from the capital would hit a snag every time. It was because someone extremely powerful was in Sumeria!
“And the Stardust Complex,” Andrius added.
“Yes, yes. the Stardust Complex, of course!”
“Don’t forget it.” Andrius shifted his tone to include a sense of warning. “Sumeria welcomes all who do business here, but they must abide by the laws and follow the rules. If anyone tries to break the rules, attempts to disrupt the order, or has any ill intentions towards the locals, it would be suicidal for them.”
As Andrius‘ words subsided, the frosty intent shrouded Dexter whole and froze his heart, causing him to tremble.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Dexter nodded repeatedly and said hurriedly, “I will remember what you say today, Wolf King!”
“Get out,” Andrius bellowed without saying anything else.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!”
The father and son bolted up immediately, but their legs turned weak due to the kneeling and almost fell down again. Fortunately, they were able to help each other regain their balance and prevented themselves from further embarrassment.
As soon as the father and son stepped out of the Royal Gardens, Dexter immediately warned his son seriously, “Son, you must leave Sumeria as soon as possible. Leave now!”
“Uh…” Peter went blank for a moment. He said unwillingly, “Father, Simon–Tooke promised us to develop Sumeria together and we just arrived…‘
“Develop, your ass!” Dexter ran out of patience and interrupted his foolish son before he could finish. He roared, “Are you out of your damned mind? What made you so stupid? With the Wolf King here in Sumeria, do you really think Simon–Tooke has a chance?”
Peter was hit with a sudden realization.
Simon–Tooke was just a foreign company, which was nothing to the Wolf King.
The Wolf King killed foreign invaders mercilessly and reigned supreme on the battlefield. Those who defied him, be they foreigners or natives, would be punished.
If Simon–Tooke made their entry now…
Peter shook his head. The thought of it scared him, causing him to clench his rectum tightly.
Dexter added, “If you don’t want our family to perish, go back now and cut all ties with Simon -Tooke, and I mean all ties! Understand?!”
He was afraid that his stupid son acted foolishly again, so he emphasized it strongly, hoping that it would knock some sense into his son’s head.
“I understand, Father.” Peter knew the severity of the situation and nodded obediently.
Then, Sonia proceeded with the arrangement for the company.
Andrius was on a mini vacation and would spend his days drinking at Noir’s place.
A night before the opening ceremony at Simon–Tooke’s headquarters.
“Celestial Enterprise’s opening ceremony is tomorrow.” Mr. Longman looked at the men that he gathered and grinned. There were more than a hundred of them.
“Men, stay focused on the job! I want the opening ceremony to be a disaster!”
On the next day, the opening ceremony of Celestial Enterprise went on as planned.
Andrius arrived on his electric bike early in the morning.
“Mr. Moonshade, everything is ready. We’ll start when it’s time,” Sonia briefly said.
Andrius nodded.
“Andy.” Noir arrived and reported, “We got intel on Simon–Tooke. They have more than a hundred men ready to ruin the opening ceremony. Those foreign b*stards really don’t know when to give up.”
A hint of hostility flashed in Andrius‘ eyes. “If they insist on courting death, then let’s grant their wish. Get some snipers over. When they show up, fire away.”
