Everyone's attention fell on Ynes waiting for her reply. 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minutes but there was still no reply from Ynes.The emcee, noticing the delay, cleared his throat and spoke into the microphone. "Is there a problem, Miss Larkin?"The murmurs from the crowd grew louder, with people starting to ask each other what was going on. "Why isn't she saying 'I do'?" one person whispered to their neighbour. "Is something wrong?" another asked."I knew this was going to happen," Elaine whispered to Marcus. "She's going to ruin everything."Donovan rolled his eyes and whispered to his father, "I can't believe we have to put up with her. Why can't we just get her out of the way and take what's ours?"Marcus put a hand on Elaine's arm and whispered back, "Don't worry, we have everything under control. Just let her say 'I do' and we'll take care of the rest.""What is going on?" Elder Taylor also turned to Robert Taylor and asked."I don't know why she's still not responding even in
"What? Call off the wedding?" Everyone muttered with shock."He has no right to stop a wedding like this.""Who does he think he is barging in here like this?""He must be insane to think he can just come in here and disrupt everything.""How dare he come here and mess with the Taylor family?""I hope they get him out of here before he causes any more problems."The whispers intensified as the guests talked in hushed tones about the audacity of Oliver's intrusion. Felix's expression twisted into one of shock and anger as he glared at Oliver, while Ynes' Uncle Marcus gritted his teeth in fury."How dare he try to ruin this wedding," Felix muttered under his breath, clenching his fists in frustration."How dare you come here Oliver, do you know this is a lion's den?" Felix was still boiling with anger.Oliver who heard this shook his head and chuckled. "Felix, even from the look of Miss. Larkin's expression, you're forcing her to get married, tell me are you a man?" Felix gritted his te
"Master, I'm done with them." Alice turned to Oliver and said, after she had beaten the men into pulp.In a matter of minutes, Alice had defeated all four bodyguards. They lay on the floor, groaning in pain and unable to move. Alice turned to Oliver and said, "Master, they won't be bothering us anymore."The room was silent, everyone staring in shock at Alice's incredible display of skill. No one had ever seen anything like it before. Even Robert Taylor was impressed, despite his anger towards Oliver. He grudgingly admitted, "You may have won this battle, but the war is far from over."Oliver shook his head and said, "Mr. Taylor, maybe you are joking right? I'm here to take Ynes away so you can send as much as people you like, I don't give a damn about it."Elise turned to Ynes with a mischievous smile and said, "Ynes, your boyfriend..."But Ynes interrupted her mid-sentence and said firmly, "Oliver is married. He's not my boyfriend."Elise chuckled and teased, "Oh, come on. Don't tell
Elder Taylor turned to his son, Robert Taylor, and asked him to go inside and bring the money. Robert furrowed his eyebrows and replied in an angry tone,"Dad, we only went to withdraw the money yesterday; it's for our new project, so why should I give it to him?"Oliver smiled and looked at Robert. "It's like you don't want peace," he said.Elder Taylor repeated his order to Robert, his voice growing even angrier. "Go and bring the money now!"Robert gritted his teeth and went inside to fetch the money. After a while, he returned with two big briefcases in his hand, which he slammed on the table in front of Oliver."There's your money." Now leave!" Robert exclaimed, clearly still fuming.Alice, who was standing behind Oliver, moved forward, opened the briefcase, and sniffed the money in it. After checking that everything was intact, she closed it and threw it at the men she had brought it to."Master, everything is intact." Alice bowed and whispered to Oliver. "Also, we came here to
GULP!" Robert Taylor swallowed hard, seeing the anger in Oliver's eye. Elise, seeing her father being bullied, couldn't also stand it, so she quickly ran off the stage and kneeled in front of Oliver and said,"Forgive him, my father; he was wrong; please don't hit him." She apologised."Who are you?" Oliver looked at the beautiful lady kneeling in front of him."I'm Elise Taylor; I'm Felix's older sister." Elise replied. "Please take Ynes away and spare my family." She added"Hmm, that easily?" Oliver thought. "Are you closer to her?" he asked.Elise nodded and said, "She's a good friend of mine.""Then why didn't you try to help her when she needed it?" Oliver askedElise hung her head down. "I'm sorry; forgive me; I did my best." She said"Did you do your best?" Oliver chuckled. Alice, who was standing right beside Oliver, moved a bit closer and whispered to him, saying,"Master, this lady seems to be close to Ms. Larkin; moreover, she said she did her best. Also, come to think of i
Oliver turned to Ynes, his eyes filled with concern. "Is there anything else, Ynes?" he asked, his voice gentle yet determined.Ynes nodded, her voice filled with worry. "Yes, Oliver. I'm also concerned about my bodyguard, Ryker. I fear he may be in danger."After she asked Ryker not to follow him to Taylor's mansion, she was locked, and since then they had not made any contact. Ryker was Ynes's personal hired bodyguard, so she cared a lot about him.Oliver's face hardened, and he swiftly turned his gaze to Marcus, Ynes's uncle. His voice grew fierce as he demanded answers. "Where is Ryker?" he demanded, his tone laced with an unmistakable sense of urgency.Marcus visibly gulped, his hand trembling as he nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Ryker... Ryker has been locked up at the Larkin family mansion," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.A flash of anger crossed Oliver's eyes as he processed the information. He knew immediate action was required to secure Ryker's
Beside Vespera stood the man that Oliver had spared during their previous encounter. He was dressed in a black suit, and his face was filled with fear and confusion as he looked at the deadly assassin.Vespera turned to him and asked in a cold tone, "Where is Oliver's hotel?"The man stuttered, "I-I can't tell you. They blindfolded us when they took us there."Vespera's eyes narrowed, and she grabbed the man by the collar. "You better find out where Oliver is or else."The man's fear was palpable as he nodded vigorously. "Okay, okay, I'll find out."Vespera released him and turned away, looking out to the sea. After a few moments of silence, she turned back to the man and said, "Actually, forget the hotel. Tell me where the Mystic Mountain is."The man looked confused. "I don't know where that also is."Find out where it is, and I won't kill you... yet."The man swallowed hard and nodded. "I'll do my best."Vespera released him and gave him a warning look. "Remember, if you try to esc
"What, kill him?" Jace opened his mouth wide in shock."I tried killing him the other time, and it landed me in trouble, so how can you do that?" Jace asked."That shouldn't be your problem; yours is to take us there." The black-suited man replied.Meanwhile, Oliver was in the hotel when Alice walked into the room."Master, we have been monitoring the airport since that time you threw the challenge to Vespera, but there's no sign of her in any of the planes that have entered Boston." She said. "Could it be that she wouldn't come today because they are preparing something bigger?" She askedOliver shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be a problem; since she's a high assassin and might not want her identity to be exposed, especially in this situation, she can use other means, even the sea." He replied."Damn, that's true; I should have monitored ships too."Oliver chuckled and said, "That shouldn't be a problem; just prepare. We're going to use the black hawker, so make all the prepa
