The Wolf’s Bride by Coffee’s Tea

Chapter 990

In the Warzone Master’s residence of the Central Warzone headquarters, Terry was in a meeting room conducting a

meeting with his generals.

“Sir!” A soldier rushed in, breathing heavily and reporting, “Sir, someone has broken into the residence!”

“What?” Terry stood up and walked out with a cold expression, shouting, “I want to see who dares have the

audacity to barge into my residence!”

“Central Warzone Master, what a display of authority!”

Before Terry could leave the room, a voice from outside laughed coldly.

Then, a slim figure entered with confident strides. It was Noir.

Terry was shocked to see Noir and asked, “Captain Black, why are you here?”

“It’s not just me.” Noir said coldly, “The Wolf King is here as well!”

“The Wolf King…”

Terry was even more astonished.

However, before he could finish his sentence, a shadow dashed in and delivered a kick to his chest, sending him

flying and crashing to the ground.

Then, the figure stepped on Terry’s chest. It was Andrius!

“W–Wolf King…”

Even though Terry was pinned down, he still greeted Andrius respectfully.

Andrius snorted and questioned, “Terry, let me ask you. Back when we were in the western region, how did I teach

you to act as a commander? What was the pledge you recited under Florence’s flag?”

Terry did not understand why Andrius was suddenly mentioning this and was momentarily dumbfounded.

However, nearly every mid- to high–level member of the Lycantroops was mentored by Andrius. They held deep

admiration and worshiped him.

Even though Terry was now the Central Warzone Master, he still followed Andrius‘ orders strictly. He immediately

recited the Lycantroops‘ pledge. “I live as a Florencian and die as a Florencian.

“We were raised under its banner and grew with its spring breezes. Our vision is devoted to Florence, and our flag is

our faith.

“As commanders, we bear hardships with courage, vanquish our foes, forget our families when we receive orders,

and ignore our own lives in the face of the enemy. We protect the people and secure the nation, bringing luster to

the lands of Florence.

“As officials, we uphold an unsullied reputation, remain self–restrained, fear not the influential, and mistreat not the

weak. We uphold justice for the country, the well–being of its people, and never detach ourselves from the

masses.”

With those words, silence filled the residence.

Only Andrius‘ cold laughter rang through.

“Well said. Fear not the influential and mistreat not the weak. Uphold the justice for the country and the well–being

of its people.”

At that point, he glanced at Noir.

Noir understood and immediately brought Gerard and the other injured soldiers in.

Terry’s expression instantly changed slightly when he saw the soldiers.

“Come.” Andrius pointed to Gerard and the others, angrily questioning Terry, “Explain to them in front of me. How

did you uphold justice and fear not the influential?

“Kane Hardy violated the law and sent people to attack the squad at night, but what justice did you seek

for them?

“The soldiers were just doing their jobs and came to you when they faced a great disaster, but what did you do?”

Andrius‘ questions were thunderous,

“Wolf King…” A trace of guilt flashed on Terry’s face as he sighed. “To tell you the truth, I didn’t want this to happen

either, but I had no choice…”

Andrius frowned slightly and raised his foot off Terry’s chest. “I’ll give you a chance to explain yourself.”

“Thank you, Wolf King.”

Terry climbed up from the ground and did not defend himself immediately. Instead, he said to the generals who had

come for the meeting, “We’ll postpone the meeting for another day. Please leave for

now!”

“Yes.” The generals all left.

“Wolf King, please come with me.” Terry led Andrius to his office.

“Wolf King, the truth is, on the second day after the incident, I personally led a team to the Hardys” residence,”

Terry confessed the truth and did not dare to hide anything.

Andrius watched him expressionlessly without revealing any emotion. If not for the fact that he had heard about

this from the soldiers, he would not have simply kicked Terry earlier.

“The Hardy family is very influential, and they have strong backing!” Terry’s expression was solemn and fearful.

“They usually handle the collection of resources for the ancient martial families, so they have the protection of

those families.”

The ancient martial families!

Andrius was struck by a realization, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

Back then, the fake emperor was a puppet set up by the Swallow family. Who knew how many resources they

plundered over the years?

“Less than half a minute after I entered the Hardys‘ residence, a martial realm expert appeared and overpowered

me with a warning.” Terry continued, “If we dared to continue pursuing this matter, not only would they cripple me,

but their family would also exterminate the Central Warzone soldiers. That’s why…

“Although I was deeply reluctant, I had no other choice. I could only return and immediately arrange for

compensation on that day, hoping to console the soldiers.”

At that point, a trace of shame flashed on Terry’s face.
