Chapter 721
Belarus could not take it anymore. He said in disappointment, “Have any of you seen Andrius?”
Andrius…
The Crestfall family’s enthusiasm dampened significantly when he mentioned that name.
In their eyes, Andrius was a troublemaker, a jinx, and a bloodsucker. He was not worthy of staying inthe Crestfalls, let alone be compared with Luna.
Harry pursed his lips slightly and said, “Dad, today is your big day. Andrius would have come on hisown if he were sincere, but since today also involves sending the Wolf King off to war, you shouldn’tpay too much attention to him.”
He phrased it tactfully, but George, Roxy, and the others were not as polite.novelbin
“Dad, Andrius isn’t a good person, so stop thinking about him. He definitely won’t show up since heknows that the Wolf King will come today. He’s afraid of being compared to the Wolf King.”
“That’s right! Andrius is a total scumbag and got complacent just because Luna gave him some money.He must have already forgotten all about you!”
“Master Crestfall, Andrius not coming today is a good thing for both him and us. If he shows up andclashes with the Wolf King, who knows what chaos the feast will turn into?”
The Crestfalls all chimed in disdainfully. They felt that it was better if Andrius did not come.
Luna knew what Belarus was thinking. Since she did not see the Wolf King, she was a littledisappointed and frowned. “Grandpa, don’t keep trying to make us get back together. It’s impossible
between us. We have no feelings for one another and don’t owe the other anything.”
Upon hearing this, Belarus‘ expression turned unsightly. He wanted to scold Roxy and the others.
However, he needed to figure out where to start.
Luna had made her stance clear. Even if he forced them to get back together, she would not be happy
Everything depended on Luna. The ultimate decision lay in her hands.
Belarus felt extremely helpless.
It was supposed to be a joyous day, but his face contained a hint of frustration.
Soon, all the invited dignitaries and other expected guests arrived.
Belarus did not see Andrius, but he could not neglect everyone else either. Thus, he had no choice butto enter the hall in disappointment and prepare for the luncheon.
Luna nervously found Sonia in the crowd. “Ms. Timberland, the luncheon is about to start. How muchlonger until the Wolf King arrives?”
Luna’s heart felt uneasy when she did not see the Wolf King.
Sonia smiled faintly and said, “The Wolf King will keep his word. Since he said he’ll come, then he’lldefinitely come. The luncheon can proceed as usual.”
Hearing this, Luna left feeling assured
Then, the luncheon started.
“Ladies and gentlemen…” Belarus went on stage and smiled as he looked around. “Thank you all for
Chapp
taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my 70th birthday ceremony. However…”
At that point, Belarus‘ tone shifted and became solemn. “Our country is facing a crisis. Ferociousenemies lurk in our western region, posing a threat to our borders. It seems they plan to invade ourland and sweep across Florence.
“I’m just an old man. At this critical juncture, although I want to help, I lack the power to do so.
“All I can do is take advantage of this day to hold a charity luncheon to raise funds for the Lycantroops.
“The only thing I hope for is the swift restoration of our land, and nothing more.” After saying that,Belarus bowed deeply toward the audience below.
Clap, clap, clap!
Applause immediately erupted from below like a tsunami.
“Master Crestfall’s righteousness is truly inspiring. We will do our best to contribute whatever we canand offer our assistance!”
“Master Crestfall, when the country is in danger, it’s every person’s duty to stand up. While soldiersfight on the battlefield, we naturally have to provide financial support and resources!”
“There are no intact eggs in a broken nest. No one can run when the nation is at stake. MasterCrestfall, we support you!”
“Master Crestfall…”
Voices rang out with conviction amidst the applause.
Some were sincere, some were just going with the flow, some were impassioned, and some donatedgenerously.
Regardless, every person conveyed their stance.
Belarus nodded with satisfaction and raised five fingers. “In that case, to kickstart the donations, onbehalf of the Crestfalls, we will contribute half of our assets–ten billion!”
Ten billion!
As soon as those words were spoken, the people were left dumbfounded.
First, they marveled at the rapid growth of the Crestfalls which went from having several hundredmillion worth in assets to tens of billions in just a few months.
Second, they marveled at Belarus‘ grandeur. He was actually serious and donated ten billion in one go.That was completely unheard of.
