Ryan was curious about who Oliver was talking about but didn’t ask more questions.“Alright,” he said, then smiled. “Just call me if you have other commands, and if you need some help. I can use my connections, too.”“I know, and I appreciate it,” Oliver replied. “But you need to lie low for now.”He added, “Zayne might have a hard time getting you killed, but he could still find some ways to take you down. Be careful.”“I will.”Oliver ended the call afterward.He was in the Umbrella Bank’s bathroom, ensuring no one could eavesdrop on their conversation.Last Updated : 2025-02-07

Oliver paused for a moment, then spoke. “I heard from Jay that the aphrodisiac he used on Rebecca came from you.” His grip on Denver’s collar tightened. “Where did you buy it?”“I—I…” Denver gasped, having a hard time breathing. “I won’t tell you… fucker.”His words were laced with anger, and Oliver chuckled upon hearing that.“You’re still arrogant despite what I’m doing to you right now, huh?”Oliver increased the pressure on his hand, making Denver gasp for more air.His hands touched Oliver’s, slightly hitting it, signaling Oliver to let him go. But the latter di

After talking to Denver, Oliver went to the safe house where he and Ray were hiding for a while, staying there until evening.He already brought his bags, and he already informed Nate and Chris about him leaving the town.At first, Chris won’t let him go. As they lived together for a while, Chris somehow became close to Oliver.However, when Nate explained to his son that Oliver needed to go to find something, Chris understood it, and bid him goodbye.“Do you think he’s regretting it now?” Ray asked, looking at the television where Oliver was watching the news.It snapped Oliver back to his senses.“He does,” Oliver nodded. “But knowing Denver, he would rather be beaten up by someone than let me spare his life. He just hates me that much.”“Of course, he would.” Ray chuckled. “You’ve been stepping on his ego for a while now, and that’s the shittiest thing a person could have felt.”“It’s his fault for interpreting it that way, not mine,” Oliver said coldly. “And he’s my ex-wife’s love

Seraphine nodded, agreeing with the statement. It would mean war, especially with the kind of government Colossia has right now.“Still…” Seraphine wanted to say her thoughts, but she sighed, choosing to let it stay in her mind. “Fine. I’ll handle this one.”“Thanks, Seraphine!” Francis exclaimed and hugged her, causing Seraphine to be shocked. “I’ll inform our boss. You can do it!”Before she could answer, Francis already exited the office, leaving Seraphine alone.She sighed and massaged her forehead. “Right. This is the life I’m leaving now, and if not for my intelligence, I would have been exiled from the Capital.’And Seraphine couldn’t let it happen. She must stay in the Capital at all costs.Taking the necklace from her pocket, Seraphine wore it again.‘Oliver is a part of my past now, but why can't I let him go?’ she asked, holding the pendant.Then, she realized something. ‘Maybe… Maybe it’s because of that.’***Meanwhile, Oliver and Ray were on a cargo ship, hiding in on

The man who bumped Oliver was someone wearing all-black clothing, with a black cap and face mask.Normally, the guards would find him suspicious because of his clothing. He would be asked to take off his cap and show his face.But strangely, no one’s even looking in the man’s direction.“Watch where you’re going.” Oliver involuntarily stepped forward, feeling the bump’s intensity toward him.Oliver thought the man was going to apologize, but instead, he said something that made Oliver raise an eyebrow.“You shouldn’t be here,” the man said, his tone low. “Everyone here thought you were dead, but once they know you’re still alive, they will try to kill you.”“What do you mean—”Before Oliver could ask his question, the man left the place, walking in the opposite direction.When Oliver was about to follow the man, someone held him in the arm.“Are you Oliver Wellington?” a man in his 50s asked, wearing janitorial clothes, and he had a face towel on his neck.“Yes.” Oliver nodded.“Grea
