Oliver pointed to the microphone that was on the table."Do you have people here responsible for machines?""Yes, we do; they're all also in the meeting room." Lisa replied"That's good; get one or two of them here to connect the microphone to the speakers there, and they should also connect a microphone from there to a speaker here. With that, when I speak, those in the meeting room can hear my voice, and I can also hear them here while they speak." Hearing this, Lisa nodded."Lisa I forgot to ask, Is the news you released this morning about the company doing well?" He asked"Chairman, I was surprised. It's in the 4th trend; Kritical's picture is now the number one trending." She repliedOliver chuckled, "I forgot about him; it seems his popularity is shooting up more because of me.""I'll be in the second room while they come to fix everything; after it's done, you'll move in there to join them, leaving only me here so you can ensure that everything goes right." Oliver addedLisa n
After an hour, the discussion ended."Thank you all for your time and cooperation; you'll receive the best if you work hard." Oliver finally saidLisa returned to the office where Oliver was."Lisa, how many workers are there in the company?" Oliver asked immediately when she entered."Chairman, there are 150 workers now, excluding those five who were sacked."Oliver nodded. "I guess enough money would be needed to put the company in place. I might not be available always, so you need to take care of everything.""You can count on me." She replied shortly."After I get home, I'll transfer $100 million to the account; with that, you can pay the workers and use some for other things that would bring benefits." Oliver said"Thank you, Chairman." Lisa bowed slightly.This time around, she was not shocked hearing the amount Oliver mentioned; Oliver bought the company for more than $300 million, so she knew that $100 million was nothing in his eyes.Meanwhile, Abigail Ellison was watching T
Later that same evening, Alex arrived at Ellison's manor in his car. He was there to pick up Zelda for dinner.After Alex saw the message from Zelda asking them to have dinner together, he felt happy and accepted it without hesitation.Abigail walked out of the manor after Alex had rung the bell. Seeing Alex, a smile appeared on her face."Oh, my good son-in-law is here; come inside." She said"Mom, actually I'm here to pick up Zelda; we're going for a dinner.""A dinner?" Abigail asked with a frowning face.Seeing her expression, Alex guessed that Abigail was worried Zelda might reject him."Mom, you don't have to worry, Zelda herself asked for the dinner." Alex said with a smile.Abigail was shocked after hearing what Alex said."Alex, do you mean Zelda herself asked you both to go for a dinner?" Abigail asked in disbelief.Per her understanding of her daughter Zelda, she would never invite a guy for dinner."Mom, why would I lie?" He took his phone out and showed Abigail the text m
At the same time, an Audi R8 stopped at the entrance of the Empire Hotel for a security check. Before one could enter the hotel, a check needed to be done.The person driving was none other than Oliver Storm.Seeing Oliver's face, the security guard leading the inspection seemed to be respectful."Sir, it's you. Nice to see you again." He spoke in a calm tone.The security guard was the same guard who disrespected Oliver and later apologized a few weeks ago.Oliver nodded with a smile and replied."I need to get inside, so do what you have to do so I can get inside.""Sorry boss, there's no need to waste your time checking you; you can just go straight." He replied."Hey, allow sir to enter; he's a good person. There's no need to waste his time." He said this to the other security guards, who also opened the gate for Oliver to enter.…..Meanwhile, in the study room in the mansion of Ynes Larkin, five blindfolded young guys were forced to kneel.Oliver would have been shocked if he ha
"He.he..hes what?" Ynes asked in a quivering voice."He's dead." He answeredBgish!"Ynes stumbled backwards, leaving the bag she was holding on the floor.Even Ryker was shocked; he didn't expect that Oliver, whom they had been searching for, was already dead.Seeing this, Ryker rushed to stop her from falling. Ynes felt her heart racing faster as she felt immense pain; tears flowed swiftly from her eyes.Ryker panicked upon seeing the situation; he poured a glass of water."Mistress, drink this, please, to calm down."Ynes hit the glass cup away, breaking it into pieces. She walked towards the guy and held his collar with tears in her eyes."Wha.t.. what did you do to him? Tell me you're lying." Her tears couldn't stop flowing."It wasn't my fault, it was Jace's. He kept hitting him with the bat; it's his fault, not mine."Jace gritted his teeth in anger."You fucking fool, we all did this together, now you dare put the blame on me.""Jace, it was your fault; we're innocent. You ki
Oliver frowned hearing Alex."Alex, I should rather be asking you, what are you doing here with Zelda?"Zelda was shocked to see Oliver. She didn't expect him to also be at the Empire Hotel."Oliver, what do you want here?"After asking, she started looking around as if she were looking for someone."What about your girlfriend, is she not here?" "Zelda, this isn't the right time to talk about this; what I want to know now is why you're with Alex at this hour." Hearing his question, Zelda frowned. "Oliver, we're no longer together, so please don't interfere in my life. Your girlfriend is even a manager for the biggest entertainment company in the city; please go and enjoy your riches in peace and leave my life alone."Zelda talked with pain, but she acted as if there was nothing wrong and she just hated Oliver.Hearing her reply, Oliver sighed."Zelda, can I talk to you for just a few minutes?" He asked"Talk to me? What do you want to talk about?""I want to have a personal chat wi
Oliver was stunned upon seeing the scene. "Could it be that the vector gang is here to take revenge?" Thinking of this, he chuckled lightly.Just then his phone started ringing, and seeing that it was a call from Lisa, he pressed the answer button."Lisa, is there any problem?""Good evening, chairman. There's this project I wanted to do, and I'm sure it's going to earn us a lot in the company, so I wanted to call and inform you so if we could meet and discuss it.""Lisa, there's a critical situation right now, so we can't meet, but just do anything you think is going to benefit the company. You're the manager; you don't need to always discuss everything with me." Oliver replied"Thank you, Chairman." Lisa said"Chairman, I dare ask what critical situation you're talking about." She asked"It seems the vector gang is here for revenge." Oliver said with a chuckle.Lisa at the other end became afraid upon hearing Oliver say the vector group were coming for revenge."Chairman, the vecto

As Vespera moved towards the car, she turned back to address her team, her expression steely."Before we head out, clean up these bodies," she instructed, her voice firm. "Make sure there’s no trace left behind. I don’t want any sign of this incident here."One of the guards stepped forward, nodding but looking at the black van parked nearby. "And the vehicle, ma’am? What do we do with it?”Vespera smirked, a hint of dark amusement in her eyes. "We’ll handle that too. Have it rebranded, stripped of any identifiers. Once it’s ready, it’ll be delivered to the local orphanage as a donation. They could use a decent vehicle more than these fools ever could."The guard’s mouth curled into a knowing smile as he nodded. "Understood, ma’am. We’ll get it done."The team moved quickly, setting about their tasks with military precision. Two guards began gathering the bodies, making sure every detail was accounted for, while others turned their attention to wiping down the van and removing any wea
Grimacing with agony, the man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, struggling to endure the searing pain that radiated from his wounded thigh. Each breath was a struggle. With a steely glint in her eyes, Vespera withdrew the gun from the man's lips and aimed it at his knee with chilling precision. Without a moment's hesitation, she pulled the trigger, the deafening boom of the gunshot reverberating through the air as a bullet tore through the man's knee, shattering bone and tissue with brutal force. The man's scream echoed through the night, his body wracked with agony as he collapsed to the ground, his shattered knee rendering him utterly helpless before Vespera's merciless interrogation. "Where's the address?" Vespera demanded once more, her voice cold. Gulping hard, the man's eyes darted nervously as he struggled to compose himself through the haze of pain and fear. Finally, with a shaky breath, he spoke in a voice barely above a whisper. "The address... it's..." he
Dear readers I haven't ended it, there'll be chapters soon, due to certain issues haven't been able to continue, would do.
As they continued to discuss their strategy, a sudden sense of unease washed over one of the men. He stiffened, his eyes darting around the van as if searching for an unseen threat."Hey, did you guys see that?" he whispered urgently, his voice laced with alarm.The other men glanced at him, their expressions puzzled. "See what?" one of them asked, his brow furrowing in confusion."I saw something move," the man insisted, his voice rising with panic. "It was like lightning, but I couldn't see anyone.”His words hung in the air, the silence that followed thick with tension. The other men exchanged wary glances, their nerves on edge as they scanned their surroundings for any sign of danger."Maybe you're just imagining things," one of them suggested, trying to quell the rising sense of fear.But the man shook his head adamantly. "No, I'm telling you, something's not right. We need to be on high alert.”"Come on, nothing will happen," one of the men scoffed, trying to quell the rising te
They waited for many hours, the anticipation building as the darkness of evening enveloped the surroundings. Some of the men had even drifted off to sleep inside the van when suddenly, one of them spotted Garcia's car approaching."Hey, Garcia is already coming in, let's get ready," he exclaimed, shaking his comrades awake.With renewed alertness, the men peered out of the van, their eyes fixated on Garcia's car as it pulled up to the entrance. Inside the car, Vespera remained composed, her keen assassin instincts guiding her observations.Seeing a parked car nearby, Vespera assessed the situation with a practiced eye. There were no signs of prolonged parking, indicating that the vehicle was likely there for a specific purpose. With a subtle smile, she continued driving into the estate.As Garcia and Logan disembarked from the car, Vespera stayed behind, maintaining her vigilance. Garcia glanced back at her with a frown, questioning her hesitation."Why are you standing there, Vespera
Oliver's expression was stern as he listened to Arshad's fear-filled plea. He knew that Arshad had brought this predicament upon himself by attempting to carry out the contract on his life. When Arshad spoke of his fear for his life, Oliver's response was cold and pragmatic."Protecting yourself is up to you and not me," he said, his tone firm and unyielding. "You got yourself into useless problems, and now you must find a way out. Don't expect me to protect you. You have your own men; use them to find a solution.”With those words, Oliver ended the call abruptly, hanging up the phone. As Oliver hung up the phone, Zelda looked at him with concern in her eyes. "Hubby, is everything alright? Anything wrong?" she asked, sensing that the call might have been troubling.Oliver smiled warmly at her, his features softening. He leaned in and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips, a gesture meant to reassure her. "Don't worry, everything is fine," he said, his tone calm and soothing. "Just a mi
Mentioning Oliver brought a flood of memories rushing back to Logan's mind—nights spent together, whispered conversations, and shared moments of intimacy. A bittersweet smile tugged at her lips as she pondered the complexities of their relationship."How I wished I could have carried the children of such a great man," Logan sighed softly, her thoughts drifting to what could have been. "But it didn't work out that way.”After she was done dressing, Logan descended the stairs and entered the living room, where Garcia Storm awaited her, seated elegantly on the sofa.Upon seeing Logan, Garcia rose with a warm smile, her eyes brightening at the sight of her companion. "How are you, my dear?" she inquired, her concern evident in her gentle tone.Logan nodded respectfully. "I'm fine, ma'am," she replied. "Have you taken your medications?”Garcia nodded affirmatively. "Of course, I have," she chuckled softly. "You would not let me rest if I didn't, so I always do."Taking Garcia's hands in he
He paused, locking eyes with Lauren as he continued, his words cutting through the tension like a knife. "Listen, Detective. No man born of a woman, no minor deity existing on this earth, has the power to stand in front of Oliver Storm for even a minute. The bullet that can kill me hasn't been manufactured, and the weapon that can harm me hasn't been forged.”Oliver's gaze pierced through Lauren, his voice resonating with a chilling authority as he continued his proclamation of dominance."I am the harbinger of destruction, the architect of fate," he declared, his words carrying the weight of absolute certainty. "I am the tempest unleashed, the unyielding force that bends the very fabric of reality to my will.”A sense of awe washed over those present, their breath caught in their throats as they bore witness to Oliver's unbridled power. In his presence, they felt small and insignificant, mere mortals standing before a titan among men.Oliver's eyes bore into Lauren's, a glint of unde
As Lauren reached out to touch Oliver, her hand trembling slightly with anticipation, she could feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins. The tension in the air was palpable as she made contact with him.Suddenly, a jolt shot through her body like an electric shock, causing her to gasp in pain. Ahhh!” Her muscles tensed, and she let out a loud scream as the force threw her backward with incredible strength.The sensation was overwhelming, as if a powerful energy had enveloped her, lifting her off her feet throwing her through the air. The impact was brutal as she collided with one of the tables at the back, shattering it into pieces upon impact.Pain radiated through her body as she lay amidst the wreckage, dazed and disoriented."Wow!" Sophia clapped, breaking the stunned silence that had settled over the place. Lauren was the one who touched Oliver, yet she was the affected one. Everyone, including Geronimo, was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief. Oliver, however,
