Sophia, unimpressed, rolled her eyes at the boss's proposition. "King of the underworld? Save your fantasies for bedtime. I'd rather live my life without a delusional leader," she retorted, her tone laced with sarcasm.The boss didn't get angry but smiled and said, "Do you doubt that I'll become the king of the underworld?"Sophia chuckled and said, "Over my dead body. So far as my brother is alive, he's the king of the underworld. Even if he's not, filthy things like you aren't qualified."The boss frowned for a few seconds before smiling and remarked, "Oh, so he's your brother. Nice one." He looked at Geronimo and added, "Maybe you'll become my brother-in-law soon, that's only if I don't kill you.”Geronimo didn't show any expression and straightforwardly said, "Tell what you want and leave. I don't have time for you."The man raised his foot, stepping on the ground with a light crack. He glared at Geronimo and said, "Pretending not to know why I am here? Kneel and acknowledge me as
Cut the crap; I'm giving you and your men just 120 seconds to get back into your cars and drive away because if after that given time and you people are here, I swear at this place I am that you all won't like the bad side I'll show in 5 minutes.Oliver's bold words shocked them all, making them furious. One stepped forward and said, "Boss, let me gun this guy down.”The boss didn't respond and stepped forward, saying, "You're that bold? You think that blow shows how powerful you are? Hey, young man, your power is in your fist, but mine is in my body. If I get angry, you won't be alive in the next 10 seconds."Oliver smirked and looked at Sophia, saying, "Let me know when 120 seconds are up." He then turned his gaze back to the boss and declared, "Your time starts now.”“I love this bold challenge, let's see what happens after 120 seconds.”As the tension escalated, the seconds ticked away. Sophia kept a close eye on the time and, as soon as the 120 seconds were up, she informed Olive
“Put guns aside and face me like a real man.” Saying this, Oliver, with a focused gaze, summoned the elemental forces around him. The air crackled with energy as a swirling vortex formed, creating a barrier between him and the six men. The guns, now under the influence of this unseen power, began to orbit around Oliver like celestial bodies responding to the gravitational pull.In a breathtaking display of control over the elements, Oliver redirected the bullets' trajectories, sending them spiraling harmlessly into the air. The boss and his men stood frozen, witnessing a supernatural force manipulating the very fabric of reality.As the last bullet floated harmlessly away, Oliver released the vortex, dispersing it with a wave of his hand. The guns dropped to the ground, devoid of any threatening potential. Oliver smiled confidently at the bewildered expressions of the boss and his men. With a nonchalant tone, he challenged them, "Come on, fight me like men if you dare.”The men excha
The boss extended his hands, and a dark energy surrounded them, crackling with ominous power. With a swift motion, he aimed to unleash a surge of darkness towards Oliver.As the dark energy surged forward, the boss manipulated it into shadowy tendrils that darted toward Oliver with incredible speed. The tendrils twisted and coiled, aiming to ensnare Oliver and drain his strength. Simultaneously, the boss conjured a sphere of concentrated dark energy above his palm, ready to release it as a devastating projectile. Oliver, with a nonchalant expression, curled his lips as he faced the intense display of dark energy. In a swift and almost dismissive motion, he raised his hand, creating an invisible barrier that effortlessly blocked the onslaught of the dark energy. Puff! The boss's body shook, forcing him to retreat back, blood dripping from his nose.Oliver laughed and said, "You used more of your power mixed with your lifeline, but I blocked it. That's why blood is oozing."The boss's
Master me?" Geronimo was a bit shaken up.Oliver nodded and said, "You come for it." He gestured at the sword."Brother, go, it's Master Storm's order," Sophia whispered.Geronimo bravely stepped forward, and without saying a word, he was about to take the sword from Oliver.Puff! A light but heavy force from the sword hit him, throwing him off with a heavy thud."Ahh!" Geronimo yelped and spat out blood. He didn't expect the sword to be that powerful.Sophia quickly ran towards him, checking him in panic. "Brother, are you fine?" she asked.Geronimo nodded and said, "I'm fine. I didn't tell Mr. Storm and touched the sword; it's too powerful."Oliver looked at Geronimo and said, "Come for it."Geronimo nodded, wiped the blood, and walked towards Oliver, but this time he didn't touch the sword.Oliver placed his hand on Geronimo's shoulder and asked him to open his palm. Immediately, Geronimo did, and Oliver placed the Seraphic blade in his palm.Geronimo felt a strong force, as if the
Geronimo, rising from his knees, added, "You've not only saved my life but secured my reign. I owe everything to you, Master Storm."The other men, still in awe, murmured their appreciation, "Master Storm, the true king of the underworld!”Sophia, unable to contain her admiration, stepped forward and said, "Mr. Storm, you're not just powerful; you're a savior. I've never witnessed anything like this. You're like a guardian angel for Boston Hills.”Oliver felt moved by their kind words; he looked at Geronimo and said, "Since everything is right, I'll take my leave."Geronimo shook his head and said, "Mr. Storm, why not let us party a bit? I have nice wines there for us to enjoy. Please don't reject."Oliver sighed and nodded. After all, there was nothing much to do but indulge in a moment of celebration.Meanwhile, the next day at Boston Hills airport, a young lady, beautiful and looking active with a cold face, got down from the plane. It was Detective Lauren. Since she had been asked
Reading the article, Lauren frowned. "A group filled with demon power? Isn't it strange, related to the same incident of those with demonic Chi cleared out?" She continued browsing, studying Geronimo's pictures. Shaking her head, she pondered, "This isn't him. The person who commanded lightning that night at the mystic mountain was young, so it's not him. Now, this Geronimo is the most powerful man in the city, right? Then who's the other man? Why is his identity somewhat blurry?" Sipping her coffee, she delved into her thoughts.At that moment it was as if she had thought of something. She placed the cup down and picked up a pen and a paper and wrote Geronimo name down and also made a question mark which was going to represent Oliver Storm. She started to search for more news about the Vector Gang and stumbled upon recent reports of their collaborative efforts with the police to eradicate other criminal organizations. A pattern caught Detective Lauren's discerning eye – every time
The waiter quickly fabricated an excuse, "I've got a terrible headache, Chef. I need to step outside for some fresh air; otherwise, I might end up fainting right here.”The head cook, somewhat sympathetic, waved him off, "Alright, go take a break. But make it quick; we can't afford to be short-staffed right now.""Thank you, Chef. I'll be back in a few minutes," the waiter said, hurrying out of the kitchen. As the waiter hurried out of the kitchen, he navigated through the bustling hotel trying to avoid suspicion, he skillfully weaved through the crowd, his eyes darting left and right. He bumped into a fellow employee in the hotel lobby, quickly apologizing with a nervous smile and a muttered sorry.Every glance from a fellow staff member made him jittery, but he managed to keep his composure.Before heading to Maria's suite, he needed to make a detour into the hotel itself. As he entered the hotel's main corridor, he spotted the elevator and discreetly pressed the button to call it.
