"Mystic Mountain?" Oliver nodded and turned to the guy. "Inform Vespera Venom and all those among her that I, Oliver Storm, will be waiting for her next week Saturday around 8 p.m. at Mystic Mountain, and she should face me there. Let's settle everything at once.""Gasp!"The room fell silent in an instant, as both Alice and the man were left stunned. While the man had never laid eyes on Vespera before, he had heard of her reputation as the most formidable assassin. Similarly, Alice was all too familiar with Vespera's strength, so Oliver's bold challenge caught her off guard.The whole place was silent for a while before Alice broke the silence. "Master, what are you talking about? Vespera is like a demon; I might not even take it lightly if I should battle her." She saidAfter a moment of silence, Alice spoke up, her voice trembling with fear. "Master, are you serious? Vespera is like a demon. I wouldn't even consider facing her in battle."Oliver nodded, his expression resolute. "Yes
"Lying? Mom, what do you mean? Of course I slept in the same room and on the same bed with him, but how does that mean we did anything?" She asked"You slept in a room with him; how am I sure he didn't even force himself on you?" Abigail continued to ask questions."Ring!" Just as she was about to reply to her mom, Zelda's phone began ringing.Seeing the name of Manager Lisa on the screen, she hit the answer button immediately."Manager Lisa, why do you call?" Zelda asked with a smile."Mrs. Storm, can you please come to my office immediately? It's urgent." Lisa's calm voice rang through."I'll be there soon." Zelda replied before hanging up. After that, she turned back to Abigail Ellison and said,"Mom, Oliver isn't a beast to force himself on me, and I don't think there's any problem even if he does because he's my husband." After saying that, she placed the other gift bag in her hand on the floor."This is a gift from my husband to you, and also the necklace and this Royal Amulet
Oliver's face on the other side lit up. "She agreed that easily? That's great to hear. He said with a smile. "I hope you didn't mention my name to her." He asked"No, I didn't." Lisa quickly replied. "I told her I could help her and even lend her money to start her own company if she wants. Even though she rejected the idea of money, she agreed to build her own company."That's perfect, Lisa. Thank you so much for everything you've done. I owe you one. Let me take you out for dinner later to show my appreciation," Oliver said gratefully.Lisa chuckled. "It's my pleasure, Chairman. I'll be looking forward to it." She said happily. "Also, what about the deal signed with her old company? Do you suggest I cancel it?" She asked"Yes, cancel it; I'll deal with that company later." Oliver replied in a serious tone. Even though he appeared calm when Zelda told her about what Manager Grayson did, he was very furious, and there was no way he could spare him."I'll do that, Chairman. Thank you
"What's the matter, Alice?" Garcia asked, her voice calm but firm."It's about Master; he's in trouble," Alice replied, her voice shaking slightly.Garcia's heart skipped a beat. "What kind of trouble?""Master Storm is in great danger," Alice said, her voice shaking. "Vespera Venom has been sent to assassinate Oliver."Garcia's body shook in fear at the mention of the infamous assassin. "Vespera?" she said, her voice quavering. "That dangerous assassin? Are you sure?""That's the truth, president." Alice replied. "We caught some men who came to Boston Hills to inquire about Master; it was through them that we came to know that Master has been targeted."Garcia nodded and said, "Alice, you must not let any harm befall Oliver. I'll get more men to Boston Hills; protect my son as much as you can." She said "You don't have to worry about that President. Even if it means turning Boston Hills upside down just for master's safety, I'll do that." Alice's voice was firm.Garcia nodded with r
Half an hour later, Oliver arrived at the Empire Hotel. He scanned the hotel lobby, looking around for Megan. As he turned to the left, he saw her standing by the elevators, looking stunning in a navy blue dress that hugged her curves perfectly.Megan saw him and walked towards him, smiling as she greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Storm, it's good to see you."Oliver smiled back and said, "Good to see you, Megan. You look beautiful."Megan blushed at the compliment. "Thank you, Oliver. You're looking good yourself."After they had their greetings, they made their way to the hotel's restaurant and sat down to order a meal."Megan, tell me why did you leave your job? I thought you said this job was really important to you." Oliver askedHearing his question, Megan sighed, not knowing how to answer. "Actually, it's because..."Before Megan could say what she wanted to say, Oliver's phone began to ring. He took his phone out and was stunned seeing that it was a call from his mom, Garcia Storm."Mo
Oliver nodded, following her to the kitchen. As they walk, the aroma of the food fills the air, and his stomach grumbles in anticipation. She served him a plate of spaghetti with meatballs. Oliver took his first bite, savoring the flavors."This is amazing, Zelda. You never cease to amaze me with your cooking," he said, taking another bite.Zelda smiled, pleased with the compliment. "I'm glad you like it. Actually I've not done as much cooking as your wife, and I want to make amends now. I'll cook anything you always want to eat."Oliver nodded with a smile before asking,"What is the good news you wanted to share with me?"Zelda cleared her throat before speaking."Actually, I went to Starlight Entertainment today to have a chat with Manager Lisa.""Wait, since when did you and Lisa start having a chat?" Oliver asked, pretending to be surprised.Zelda smiled and said, "I didn't tell you this, but I signed a contract with Starlight Entertainment for the company I was working for." She
After Zelda had left, Oliver went to the kitchen, where he saw the sac containing the medicinal materials he had asked Ynes to prepare."Oh damn, how could I forget about this?" He thought. He picked up the sac and took out some of the materials. "I'll need to strengthen my power before the day to face Vespera reaches. Maybe I can try to make my own pill right now."Thinking of this, he turned off all the lights and closed the windows, making the place dark. Oliver lit the fire and picked up the cauldron he had bought earlier.He took a deep breath and cleared his mind, focusing on the task at hand. He closed his eyes and flipped through the pages of the supreme scriptures in his mind. He searched for the recipe for the pill that he wanted to make and found it.He opened his eyes and started gathering the ingredients he had prepared earlier. He measured out the hundred-year-old ginseng, echinacea, milk thistle, valerian root, and the other ingredients carefully, making sure he had th
Meanwhile, in the same dark room, the man who had ordered his men to go and gather information about Oliver looked angry as he sat on his chair with his men beside him. In front of him, kneeling, was the man whom Oliver had spared and asked to deliver the challenge to him. He was annoyed when he was informed that the others had been captured and Oliver had thrown a challenge to Vespera.The man on the chair clenched his fists as he glared down at the messenger. "I should have known that Garcia's daughter would be bold and have the audacity to challenge Vespera. He truly has a death wish," he said, his voice dripping with disdain.As the man was about to give his next order, the door suddenly opened, causing everyone to freeze. Vespera Venom, the skillful and dangerous assassin, walked in. She was dressed in all black, with a tight-fitting bodysuit and a mask that covered most of her face, leaving only her eyes visible. Her presence alone was enough to make the room quiet, and the air
