REVENGE OF THE VAGABOND CHAPTER 70
"Damn. Why did she lie to me?" Adam was pissed off. If he knows in the first place that Julie is going to the Thompsons' mansion, he will not let her go there. He knows Carter is after his friends because they are connected to Oliver. "Wait. It's already late in the afternoon. She still didn't come back," Oliver tried to call her to check but she was not answering her phone. "She might be sick?" Adam worried and tried to text the baker but it also didn't respond to him. Someone entered their shop, it was Uncle Ben who used to own their bakery shop. He walked normally, smiling at the guys on the counter. "Where's Julie? Is she at your home?" Adam asked and he nodded. "Yes, she was at home earlier, unexpectedly she gave her farewell. She decided to take a leave, she wants to visit her mom in the province," he said but both guys were confused. "What? Why so sudden? We're not aware that she wanted to take a vacation. She has many plans and we're having a date this Valentine then she'l

"You want to take revenge for me? But why?" Oliver seriously looked at his friend stuttering to answer. "B-because I hated him for mistreating you. You were like a brother to me, Oliver. So I wanted to defend you. While your step-brother is treating you like a stranger, you are being humiliated by many people, an important person is robbed from you, he's hurting the people you love, and the worst thing he did is almost kill you," Adam said, he is no longer afraid to confess what he knows and he no longer cares if Oliver gets angry with what he reveals. "And what does he have to do with Julie's sudden departure?" He asked, "I want to know everything. Just be honest with me," Oliver was tired of his friend playing mysterious. "I'm not sure about this but Julie might leave because she's afraid you might despise her, Carter has something against Julie and it's about her father who is in prison and killed your mother in the past," what he said made Oliver shocked, "Her father is a murdere

Adam regretted that he thought more of himself than others, then he had many chances to help his friend who was suffering because of what Carter was doing but he kept quiet and played safe so that he would not get involved and to protect himself, he was so guilty seeing his friend suffering from some incidents that he can prevent, "I'm very sorry, Oliver. If only I was brave, I hope this is not happening in your life. There's no more secret Oliver, now you know everything, it's up to you to decide what to do. I'll support you wherever you go, and I'll understand if you want me to disappear like what Julie did." "Adam, no matter what you have done. I will always understand. Don't be afraid to be honest, because I'll rather be with an honest person hurting me with the truth than a liar comforting me with a lie. Thank you for your revelation, it's just amazing I wasn't eaten by my emotions or else I've been punching you for keeping that for a long time. I'm just trying to calm but I'm br

"So what's your plan?" Both guys are still inside the shop, taking time to talk together. There was no one else inside, the two of them were left to close it later at night."I've been planning this from the start," Oliver began, "I want to take revenge before but it was a nonsense reason because I just want to take revenge for my success to brag it to others. You know I've been hurt by the words people threw at me. That I have no direction in life. No steady foundation, ending up roaming everywhere to find a temporary shelter. I was astray. You witness how messed up my life was. You saw my struggles trying to keep my head above water, I did survive many storms but you were the one who held my hands when I'm drowning. Without a friend like you, I'll end up dying of hunger," before Oliver answered his question, someone wanted first he shared the reason for his change of plans."Ever since my life started to be chaotic, I already feel that what happened was planned. I have no idea what's

"No need to follow me. You will also know my next move. All you need to do for now is find Julie Andrews. Before I leave our neighborhood, I want the three of us to talk to enlighten you on the decision I'll make," he smiled bitterly, and Adamson agreed on what he wanted to do. While he felt sad, knowing their trio is going to end as one of them will separate away. "Sure. I'll do it. We should have closure. I also don't want you to leave us here without saying farewell," Adam was wondering to turn back time, wishing he hadn't confessed but it was the right thing he did that he has to accept the consequences, "It's okay if you don't say goodbye, you have the right to leave the table." Oliver gave him an emotionless face, "I will leave for our good. If I'll stay here, nothing will happen in my life, even if I work hard but it isn't enough. While I will also bring problems to you and Julie, especially since you like her but I'm the one she likes. It'll be uncomfortable for you when I'm
REVENGE OF THE VAGABOND CHAPTER 75
A few weeks passed, and Oliver and Adamson expected Julie to return to their neighborhood. They weren't sure if she would come back today, they were just hoping she would come back any day, they also had no communication with her, they couldn't contact her phone and they worried that something bad might happen to her. "It's already three weeks since she didn't communicate with us. Her uncle said she left without saying anything, Julie isn't the type of person who won't give permission. I'm really worried right now. What if something bad happened we're unaware of?" Adam said, standing in front of Oliver who was sitting on the stairs. "I don't know if her uncle is telling the truth. He also informed us that Julie left around the afternoon last second week of February. Before that Julie and I met at the Thompson's mansion then I dropped her at her uncle's house as she wished. I'm wondering how she left that fast without coming back to her apartment, we could also see her leaving cause h

After a minute of checking around the baker's room, they found no trace of her leaving, "Nothing was touched with her things. All her clothes are here. Her shoes, and some gadgets," the two walked out to go to Uncle's house Ben. "Yeah, there was no sign that she went to her apartment that time. Uncle's Ben house is the only place she went, hoping we can enter there," Oliver looked at his watch, he wanted to go back to his dad's private mansion but he had to help Adam to find Julie Andrews. Not far away, they can see the house of Benedict Andrews, they also saw the old man get out of his house while talking to someone over the phone, "Oliver, I think he won't let us enter his house. I tried to enter his house the other day but he stopped me, he has many excuses and it was fishy," Adam grabbed Oliver to hide behind the parked van. "Really? So we have to sneak up on his house?" Adam nodded at Oliver, they slowly went to the other side to pass behind. "What if we get caught? We can be

"What the hell!" They were shocked to see the unconscious woman lying on the floor. It was the baker Julie Andrews who has been imprisoned in her uncle's room for several weeks. A cloth was tied her mouth so no one could hear her voice. Her weight loss because of starving is also visible. She also has bruises on her body which she got from his uncle's physical assaults. "We need to take her out of here!" Adam carried her after untying the rope on her feet. Oliver assisted him outside and almost escaped but they heard someone coming. "Just escape, I'll handle him," he said and Adam followed leaving Oliver inside to face the bad guy. He could hear someone's footsteps coming up the stairs, he picked up a katana that was on the wall to use for defense. And as the man reached the second floor, Oliver greeted him with the sharp blade. "Hold on!" Carter was startled and it almost touched his neck."Why are you here?!" Oliver put it down as he calmed down to know it wasn't the old man. "I

He had always been drawn to the ocean, to its wildness and its beauty, and it was one of the things that had compelled him to accept his stepbrother's invitation to join them on this journey.As he stood there, lost in his thoughts, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind him. He turned to see his stepbrother, Jack, and Jack's wife, Sarah, walking towards him."Beautiful, isn't it?" Jack said, standing next to Oliver and gazing out at the sea."Yeah," Oliver replied, nodding his head.

He had been watching it over and over again for hours, trying to figure out if he recognized the person who had tried to burn down their building.Carter, his stepbrother, walked into the room and sat down next to him. "Anything new?" he asked.Oliver shook his head. "I've watched this thing a million times and I still can't make out his face. But I know he's in this building somewhere."Carter leaned forward and looked at the screen. "Maybe we should start asking around, see if anyone saw anything."Oliver sighed.
