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
Mike's heart raced as he realized they might have stumbled upon something big. "I don't know, but let's stay and see what happens. This could be a breaking story."Alice and the rest were taken aback as they saw the large group of people walking over."Master, look! I think that's Vespera, but there are so many people with her," Alice said, surprised."Vespera?" The three men were also stunned. They hadn't expected to meet Vespera when Oliver said something big was about to happen."Don't you know Vespera Venom wants to kill you? And you're still meeting her?" one of the men asked incredulously.Oliver's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't respond. Alice was amazed. She turned to Oliver and saw no fear in his eyes."Does Master have another trick up his sleeve?" she wondered.On the other side, the young assassin, Vespera Venom, had a frown under her mask while marching forward, and besides her was Jace Denson, who looked totally confused. When he agreed to bring them to Mystic Mou
Oliver, who was watching the scene, was impressed by Alice's skills. Vespera raised her head, staring at Alice in shock. Who would have expected that she would meet a formidable opponent?Not wanting to disgrace herself, she quickly got back on her feet and dashed forward. To everyone's shock, Alice leaped in the air like a frog and kicked Vespera in the chest.BOOM!" The kick was very hard. Vespera stumbled backward, caught off guard by Alice's unexpected move. Alice took advantage of the opening and delivered a devastating kick to Vespera's knee, causing her to collapse to the ground in pain.WOW!" Everyone was amazed by Alice's skills. They all knew Vespera to be a skilled person, but who would have thought that she would be beaten by Alice?"Not bad, not bad." Vespera clapped. "Let's get into the real battle." She said."BOOM! BANG! BOOM!"Alice and Vespera continued to trade blows, each one more intense than the last. Alice was holding her own, but Vespera was beginning to gain th
Alice charged at her with speed. Vespera chuckled as she charged towards her, ready to fight till the end. With a smug expression, she taunted, "Since you're so eager to die, come and get it."BOOM!"Alice frowned and lunged forward, throwing a powerful punch at Vespera. However, Vespera was quick to react, meeting Alice's fist with the palm of her hand. A loud thud echoed through the room as their hands collided, and Alice was thrown backwards with great force.AHH!"Alice hit the ground hard and struggled to get up, but her strength was gone. She lay there, panting heavily, as Vespera towered over her. "You're no match for me," Vespera sneered, looking down at Alice with disdain.Oliver clapped his hands and turned to face the men who had gathered around him. "Gentlemen, I appreciate your loyalty and willingness to protect me, but I order you to step back."One of the men opened his mouth to protest, but Oliver raised his hand to silence him. "Step back; it's an order." His voice tu
"I'm very curious to see the face behind this skillful assassin." Oliver issued a command to one of his men to approach Vespera and remove her mask. "Take off her mask," he said with authority.Vespera's eyes widened in shock, and she quickly protested. "You don't dare! Even though you're strong, there are 100 men here with swords and guns. If they attack together, you'll all die!"Oliver laughed in response to Vespera's threat. "Even though I'm strong, you're right. There are 100 men here with swords and guns. But don't worry, I'll deal with them first before returning to you." Give me a few minutes to deal with them. I'll come back to you when I'm done," he said confidently.Vespera scoffed. "Do you really think you can take on all of them?"Oliver chuckled. "You underestimate me."Oliver turned to Alice and called out, "Alice, do you recall what I said when you warned me not to engage in a fight with Vespera?"Alice, who was on the floor, nodded and responded, "Yes, master. I remem
