The next day, Oliver walked out of his room, still feeling the residual effects of his encounter with the dark energy. As he stepped out into the hallway, he was greeted by Ynes, who had a small sack in her hand."Good morning, Ynes," Oliver greeted her."Good morning, Oliver. I have the materials you asked for," Ynes said, handing him the sack.Oliver furrowed his brows, looking at the sack in confusion. "What materials are these?""The materials you asked for," Ynes replied with a small smile. "You said you needed them for a pill."Oliver's eyes widened as he remembered the conversation he had with Ynes a few days ago. "Oh, right. Thank you, Ynes. I almost forgot about that."Ynes nodded. "No problem. Is there anything else you need?""No, that's all for now, thank you." He saidShe nodded and turned around to leave, but then she stopped and turned towards Oliver."What did you do to Lee and Marcus yesterday?" She asked"I placed them in their rightful position, there's no need to
"No, my boss wouldn't do such a thing; she's a nice woman; get off me." Zelda yelled"Who cares if you believe it or not? I've paid $5000 to your boss; you're mine for tonight." He said as he pulled Zelda closer and hugged her tightly.The stench of cigarettes mixed with alcohol that came from his mouth was enough to make one die of suffocation."I'm married for God's sake; please don't do anything; my husband will kill you." Zelda said, with tears in her eyes."Haha, haha, haha!" The man smiled evilly."Do you know who I am? I'll kill that husband of yours and have you for myself when I meet him. How lucky he is, eating all this flesh alone." Zelda’s heart was pounding in her chest as the man towered over her, his body tense and his eyes gleaming with a malicious light. She tried to push him away, but his grip on her wrists was like iron. "Please, stop," she begged, her voice shaking with fear.But the man only laughed—a sound that was cold and cruel. "You think you can stop me?" he
The room fell silent, with all eyes on Oliver, wondering who he was and how strong he was to be able to beat such a built-in security guard.Oliver didn't flinch, but instead looked around at the stunned onlookers. He turned towards the lady boss."Where is she?" he asked again, his voice now even colder than before.The old lady boss looked at him with fear in her eyes, now realizing that Oliver was not someone to be trifled with.The lady boss stammered, her eyes widening in fear as she said, "O-one man paid to have fun with Zelda, so she's in the basement with him." She pointed a shaking finger towards the door of the basement.Oliver's hands shook in anger, his grip tightening on the edge of the counter. "Who? Who paid for her?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous."I-I don't know his name," the woman stammered, looking like she wanted to shrink away from Oliver's anger. "He was a regular here, but he left already and is in the basement."Oliver's eyes narrowed at the woman's
"Huh?"Everyone turned to look at the man with shocked expressions. Even when he had been beaten, he was still trying to act tough.Oliver turned around to face him with a cold expression on his face. "Are you strong enough now to fight me? Bring it on then," he challenged.The man let out a sinister laugh, wiping the blood from his mouth. "I won't fight you, but I'll call my friends from the Vector gang to come and deal with you."Zelda and the other customers in the bar gasped at the mention of the Vector gang. It was a popular and dangerous gang, so they had all heard of it.Fear and panic started to spread throughout the room, but Oliver remained calm and collected; a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was the main boss of the vector gang, so there was no need for him to panic. "Call them, I'm waiting." He repliedThe man looked taken aback by Oliver's boldness. He wasn't expecting him to be so fearless. "You'll regret crossing me," he spat out before taking his phone
Not only Zelda but also the others were shocked to hear Kritical address Oliver as master; they were all curious to know why."Hubby, what's going on, and why is he addressing you as master?" Zelda asked in a whisper.Oliver chuckled lightly before saying, "Don't worry, watch the scene unfold right in front of you."Zelda bit her lip and nodded lightly; she felt Oliver was becoming more mysterious every single minute.After hitting the man, Kritical turned to Oliver with his head hung in shame."I'm sorry, Master Storm." His voice trembled as he begged for Oliver's forgiveness. "Please forgive me. I didn't know it was you. I never would have tried to attack you if I had known. Even if you gave me a million courage, I would never have stepped into this bar.""Wow, is this man Kritical's master? Then what about Geronimo?" Someone asked in a low tone.Oliver's expression was cold as he sneered at Kritical. "So, if it was somebody else, you would have just beaten them without knowing the
"Not working anymore?" A deep frown appeared on Oliver's face. "What happened, Zelda? Was the payment bad?" He askedZelda shook her head, looking confused as to whether to tell him the truth or not. Oliver was able to guess that she was hiding something after seeing her expression. He shifted closer to her and locked both hands around her neck while staring directly into her eyes."Wife, if there's any problem, you should always let me know so we can solve it together. Don't you trust me anymore?" He askedZelda bit her lower lip hard, still wearing a shy expression. Oliver moved his lips closer and brushed them against hers."What's wrong, Zelda? Please tell me the truth."Seeing Oliver insist, a forced smile appeared on her face as she nodded. She quickly narrated to Oliver everything that happened the last day in Manager Grayson's office."Damn!" Oliver hit his thighs after she had explained. There was something worrying his wife for long but she wasn't bold to tell him."Oliver,
"Of course you'll use the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor as usual." Oliver answeredZelda looked at him with a mixture of concern and compassion. "You've been sleeping on the floor all this while, haven't you?" She asked, her voice filled with sympathy.Oliver shrugged nonchalantly. "It's nothing, really. I've gotten used to it over the years.Over the years they've been married, he has always slept on the floor while Zelda slept on the bed because she wasn't giving him the chance to get closer to her.Zelda's heart went out to him. "Oliver, I'm so sorry," she said, her eyes brimming with tears.Oliver smiled and squeezed her hand. "It's alright, love. I don't mind sleeping on the floor. As long as you're comfortable, that's all that matters."She shook her head and said, "No, it's not alright. You deserve to be comfortable, too, so from now on, we'll share the same bed."Oliver's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you sure, Zelda? I don't want to make you uncomfortable."Zelda chuckled
"How dare you ask who we are? I'm warning you. Quickly untie us before you get into trouble." The man repliedAlice angrily moved to hit him again, but Oliver raised his hand, asking her to stop.He sat down after that, still staring at the men who had angry expressions on their faces."You know why I'm not angry yet?" He asked. "I had a good time with my wife yesterday and this morning, so I'm cool now." He added"What has that got to do with us? Untie us now." One of the men saidOliver nodded and said, "Since you don't want to introduce yourselves and what you want, then let me do mine." He said"I'm Oliver Storm, and it's nice meeting you people." "What? Oliver Storm?" Their eyes widened in shock upon hearing Oliver's name. They were actually in Boston Hills because of him, but they got captured without knowing that the person they had come to look for was the main person behind their capture.Even though their expressions were normal, Oliver noticed the change when he mention
