"Oh, my God... Dad..."
Elena immediately cried out in gratitude when she saw her father start to open his eyes. She squeezed Mr. Hoshier's hand with tears in her eyes. She thought she would lose her father, but Doctor Lin had saved his life.
Mr. Hoshier's condition seemed to be improving after a long time of Doctor Lin treating him with his methods. Elena was relieved that her father was in good hands. With slightly trembling hands, Elena thanked Doctor Lin.
"Doctor Lin, thank you so much. I'm so grateful you're here," Elena said in an emotional tone.
Doctor Lin simply nodded with a gentle smile, his face showing serenity. "That is already my duty, Miss Elena. I only do what I can."
Elena squeezed her father's hand with relief on her face. She couldn't hide the relief, but also the worry on her face. Mr. Hoshier's eyes blinked, still struggling to focus. His weak fingers tried to grasp Elena's hand.
"Dad, how are you feeling right now?"
Instead of getting an answer from her father, suddenly, Mr. Hoshier's condition suddenly went down. Mr. Hoshier's breathing began to pant and stutter. His body shook violently with cold sweat pouring down his forehead. His face became paler as her hands squeezed her chest as if it were in so much pain.
Seeing that, Elena immediately panicked. Her face turned pale, and her eyes widened in fear.
"Doctor Lin, what's going on? What happened to my Dad?!" Elena screamed hysterically, mixed with anger.
Doctor Lin also looked confused and started sweating.
"I... I don't know. Earlier, his condition was improving. Why all of a sudden..." Doctor Lin said, his tone trembling.
"Dad, no... please..." Elena shook her father's hand with fear hitting her chest.
Suddenly, Mr. Hoshier's breath disappeared. Elena could hardly contain her tears. Her panic peaked, and she looked at Doctor Lin fearfully.
"Do something quickly!" Elena shouted in a desperate tone. "If my dad dies, you will be punished! I'm not messing around!"
Doctor Lin was getting more and more frightened, his face showing deep anxiety.
"I... I did the right thing. Just now, her condition improved. Maybe... maybe there's something I missed. We must take Mr. Hoshier to the hospital immediately!"
"How can I take him to the hospital in this condition?! Do something or you'll regret it!" Elena shouted, hardly believing Doctor Lin's words.
Doctor Lin was confused, his mind whirling around for a solution. He didn't want to be blamed for this. Suddenly, he remembered Oliver, whom Elena had thrown out with great emotion earlier. He had previously warned him that his methods would only worsen Mr. Hoshier's condition, and just as he had said, his warning came true. Doctor Lin decided to take a bold step. The chances were high that Oliver was capable of treating Mr. Hoshier!
"Miss Elena... I think you should call the man named Oliver that you dragged out earlier," he said haltingly, "I think that... maybe he can save your father's life."
"Have you gone mad?!" Elena looked at Doctor Lin with a mixed expression, between anger and frustration. “I won't let that freak touch my Dad!"
"Give him a chance. If we continue like this, your father could die. I've done my best, but it doesn't seem to be working." Doctor Lin pleaded with all seriousness.
Although reluctant, Elena knew that she had little choice. She endured her embarrassment and opened the door to the room, seeing Oliver standing outside in a calm manner. Elena approached Oliver cautiously, his voice and facial expression showing uncertainty.
"Oliver, my dad is getting worse. Please, save him."
Oliver did not answer. With calm and confident steps, he entered the room without a word. Elena felt hurt by Oliver's cold and haughty attitude that didn't even say a word but still did what he asked. With her heart pounding, she followed Oliver into the room.
Inside the room, Oliver immediately moved quickly. He examined Mr. Hoshier attentively, closing his eyes and concentrating on his condition. Oliver's face looked serious and full of concentration as he pressed gently on Mr. Hoshier's chest, channeling his energy.
"Please... please save him..." Elena whispered.
Elena watched with bated breath. Every second felt like a lifetime. Gradually, Mr. Hoshier's breathing, which had been intermittent, began to stabilize. Elena saw how her father's facial expression slowly turned calmer. Her heart was filled with a mixture of hope and disbelief.
When Oliver finally opened his eyes, he looked at Elena with a gaze full of relief. "Mr. Hoshier is stabilizing. He needs to rest," he informed her.
Hearing this, Elena immediately approached her father. Oliver immediately stood up and let Elena sit beside her father. Oliver's facial expression remained calm, though in his heart he was relieved to see a positive change in Mr. Hoshier's condition. Elena bowed her head, tears of joy running down her cheeks as she touched her father's hand, which now looked calmer.
"Daddy..." Elena whispered emotionally.
"Elena..."
"Oh, my... dad... I thought I'd lost you. I'm so grateful you're still here," Elena sobbed as she saw her father's condition improve.
Silently, Elena felt the heavy burden slowly disappear. Her face which was previously full of anxiety was now filled with an expression of gratitude and relief.
"Thank you... For saving my daddy's life," Elena said hoarsely. She looked at Oliver with deep gratitude, unable to express any other words.
Oliver nodded. "Let your father rest completely. And I'll stay here to make sure his condition is completely stabilized," he continued, "don't worry. Your father will not die."
Doctor Lin, who saw this, was amazed. It was the first time in his life that he had seen treatment without medical equipment. Just the touch of a hand and Mr. Hoshier's condition was better than ever. No matter how many times he thought about it, everything he saw was impossible to digest.
"Mr. Oliver... I, as this lowly doctor, appeal to your amazing skills..." Suddenly, Doctor Lin was kneeling before Oliver.

"Please take me as your student, Mr. Oliver!"Elena was stunned to see Doctor Lin suddenly kneeling in front of Oliver. Her face paled, and her eyes widened, as if unable to comprehend what was happening. How could a famous doctor like Doctor Lin, who was always respected and adored by his patients, now degrade himself in front of Oliver? The question kept spinning in his head."Doctor Lin? What are you doing?!" Elena asked in a confused tone. Her eyes shifted from Doctor Lin to Oliver, as if searching for an explanation from their faces.Oliver, who had been standing straight with a calm face, simply sighed. His gaze remained calm, but there was a hint of tension in his eyes as he looked at the old man who was now below him. He never even thought that he would be treated like this just because of his healing ability, which even he had previously marveled at. It was all thanks to the training provided by Lazarus."Doctor Lin," Oliver began in a low voice, "there's no need to act like

Oliver's mind is torn. It seemed like only yesterday that he was imprisoned for trying to protect Katie, and now, in front of his eyes, he saw his ex-girlfriend preparing to marry the man who had destroyed his life and family.Oliver stared blankly at Kate and Rudolph who were smiling widely ーlooking so happy. Katie's wedding dress seemed to glitter under the crystal chandeliers, while Rudolph Hanover stood by her side with a haughty smile.Katie... marrying this bastard? How could that be?"What's wrong? Do you know the married couple?" Elena's question brought Oliver back to his muddled thoughts. Elena felt that Oliver knew the married couple, but seeing how he reacted when he saw them, it seemed like something bigger had happened.To his surprise, he felt his body trembling with an anger he had never felt before. And it made Oliver feel uncomfortable as if he was about to explode at the sight of his beloved getting married to the bastard who had put him in prison, and all because h

Rudolph laughed out loud at Oliver's accusation as if it was all a joke to him. He stepped closer, with a triumphant look that cut Oliver's heart deeper."Oh, how sad to hear that from a loser who can't even take care of his own woman." His voice lowered in mockery. "You're still living in an illusion, Oliver. The real world has no place for poor people like you. Once you get out of prison, do you think anything will change? Of course, no. You're still a loser!"Oliver clenched his hands into fists. Rudolph's words hurt his pride and he felt so angry. Because of him, his life was ruined. In jail, losing a lover, even his family is in debt while his father suffers from heart disease and has difficulty getting treatment.Now, Rudolph and Katie are having fun with their wedding without any guilt or apology. They can't be considered human with their lower-than-animal behavior. Even animals still had feelings.Rudolph tightened his arms around Katie's waist, showing off an intimacy that ma

Rudolph flinched at Oliver's threat but quickly burst out laughing as if Oliver had just told the funniest joke in the world. His sardonic grin widened even further, signaling how low he considered the threat."Really? Are you going to stop my wedding? Destroy it?" taunted Rudolph, his eyes narrowed in contempt. "With what? With your bare hands? Don't make me laugh, loser! You don't even have anything, except your shattered pride!"Katie, who had been silent beside Rudolph, began to fidget. Her face looked tense, her eyes occasionally glancing at Oliver with a look full of hatred and worry. Either out of fear that Oliver would actually do something stupid or because he felt cornered by this situation, but it was obvious that she wasn't as comfortable as she looked."I've had enough of this shit." Oliver sighed softly, his eyes staring intently at Rudolph. "I didn't come here looking for trouble. You started this, and I want to finish it. But if you continue to push me, I won't hesitat

"Wow, look who we have here!" exclaimed Myles in a loud voice, drawing the attention of the surrounding guests. "Did you come here to congratulate your ex-girlfriend's wedding?" he asked in a condescending tone.Oliver glanced at Myles Lance who was striding haughtily, his sharp eyes staring straight at him, his gaze fell on Oliver's figure sitting alone like a beggar.Myles Lance, the rich man who had always bullied him since school. Even when he did nothing, that bastard kept making him look like a loser in front of everyone. He demeaned him with every bad word he had, pushing him to the brink where everyone trampled on him like useless trash."You never change," Oliver muttered. Although the years passed, Oliver thought the people who used to be bad to him would change for the better as they grew up, but it seemed that instead their hearts and minds were consumed by age.Myles chuckled. "Why? Do you miss our old times?" He put his hands on his waist and styled Oliver's swagger. "Ol

"Has he gone crazy?!""He really is a criminal!"All the guests stepped back in fear. Their mouths gaped, their eyes wide with fear and shock that they could not hide.Myles Lance's once luxurious and classy appearance was now like a pile of garbage with all the food and dessert stuck to his clothes and body. Meanwhile, the blisters on his face were dripping blood from the cuts made by the broken glass."You bastard, Oliver!" Myles shouted. His anger had never been so intense in his life. And it was that loser Oliver who had made it so. Myles vowed never to forgive Oliver for humiliating him and making sure he lived a life of hellish horror."It wasn't my fault," Oliver said calmly. He wasn't at all intimidated by the fearful stares from the guests, or Myles' gaze that seemed to be pointing a laser at him. "I warned you. Twice... and you didn't heed it at all.""Fuck! Who the fuck do you think you are, huh!?" Myles' eyes lit up.Oliver observed Myles trying to stand up straight. All t

"How dare you make trouble at the marriage of the Hanover family who is respected!" Bryan Hanover shouted, his voice booming across the grand ballroom. His piercing gaze was fixed on Oliver Roberts, standing amidst shattered tables and fallen chairs. The wedding, meant to be a moment of grandeur and joy, had descended into chaos.Oliver’s face remained impassive. "I wasn't the one who started this fight," Oliver’s voice cut through the tense air, calm but edged with fury. "Rudolph sent his men after me. I defended myself."Rudolph, his face twisted with arrogance, stepped forward, glaring at Oliver. "You started this chaos! You crazy bastard!" he shouted, his voice dripping with hatred.Myles Lance, fueled the fire, his eyes blazing with rage as he pointed directly at Oliver’s face."He’s the one who did this! He attacked first! We should drag him back to where he belongs—prison! That’s the only place fit for a poor bastard like him!”Oliver growled slowly, his frustration simmering.

“What happened here until a fight like this?” Elena's voice cut through the thick tension in the room. Her sharp gaze fell upon Bryan Hanover, standing rigidly beside Rudolph, whose face was flushed with fury.Bryan responded first, his tone dripping with venom. “Miss Elena, the poor bastard, has made a commotion at my son’s wedding party. He hit all the security officers and caused significant damage. We’ve had enough of this trash, and we’re determined to make the idiot pay for it!”Elena blinked in surprise, her brow furrowing. “You don’t need to speak so rudely, Mr. Hanover,” she reprimanded softly. But the sight before her was shocking—dozens of security guards lay on the floor, unconscious and bruised, each one the victim of a single man’s fists. Oliver.Her chest tightened with disbelief, but deep down, a flicker of admiration blossomed. How could one man, alone, defeat so many? And with such devastating force? She had never seen anything like it. Oliver had always seemed quiet

The ride back was silent. Not because they had nothing to say, but because words felt unnecessary.Elena sat beside Oliver in the car, her fingers resting lightly on her lap. She wasn’t shaking, wasn’t afraid anymore—but the weight of the night still pressed against her.Oliver drove with one hand on the wheel, his other resting on the console between them. His presence alone made her feel safe.After a while, Elena exhaled. “You’re too calm.”Oliver glanced at her, smirking. “Would you rather I panic?”She huffed. “I was kidnapped, Oliver.”“I noticed.”“Held hostage.”“I was there.”“Almost had my throat slit.”Oliver’s jaw tightened just slightly. “And I handled it.”Elena turned to him, studying his profile. His sharp jawline, his unwavering expression.“You always do,” she murmured.Oliver didn’t reply, but his fingers—resting between them—twitched.Elena hesitated, then slowly reached out, linking her pinky with his.Oliver’s hand stiffened for a brief moment.Then, he turned hi
CHAPTER 205. ELENA'S KIDNAPPING.
"Mr. Roberts, we have a problem."Amelia’s voice was sharp over the phone. Oliver had just finished a business meeting when she called, and from the tension in her tone, he knew it wasn’t a minor issue.Oliver exhaled. "Speak."There was a brief pause before she dropped the bombshell."Elena’s been taken."Oliver stopped walking. His fingers tightened slightly around the phone. “Who?”Amelia hesitated. “A man named Vincent Moreau. French arms dealer. One of the last allies Harrington had left.”Oliver’s jaw clenched, but his voice remained calm. “His demands?”“He wants you to transfer fifty percent of Hoshier’s European assets to his name by midnight.”A mistake.Vincent Moreau had no idea who he was dealing with.Oliver inhaled slowly. “Where is she?”“We traced the call to a warehouse in the East District. It’s heavily guarded.”Oliver didn’t hesitate. “Send me the location.”“Sir, I can mobilize our team—”“No.” Oliver’s voice was sharp. “This is personal.”Amelia hesitated but ob
CHAPTER 204. NEVER LOST
“You lost the moment you thought you could use her against me, Calloway.”Oliver’s voice was quiet, almost casual, yet every syllable carried the weight of an undeniable truth.Raymond struggled against Oliver’s grip, but it was useless. His body trembled—not from the physical pain, but from the realization sinking into his bones. He had never stood a chance.Oliver loosened his hold just enough for Raymond to breathe, but his next words made the man’s blood run cold.“Tell me, Calloway… how do you want this to end?”Raymond swallowed, his mind racing. He had no moves left. No allies. No escape.His last shred of arrogance faltered, replaced by raw desperation. “I—I was just following Harrington’s lead. He’s the one who—”Oliver let out a quiet exhale, cutting him off with a simple, measured sentence.“Harrington is already handled.”Raymond’s eyes widened. “What?”A soft buzzing noise filled the room. Oliver reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and tilted the screen toward
CHAPTER 203. ERUPTED INTO CHAOS
Raymond’s hands trembled as he scrolled through the endless flood of news reports, each one spelling his doom in bold, damning headlines. His phone buzzed non-stop—calls from investors, board members, and desperate executives, all demanding answers he didn’t have.His breath came in short, sharp gasps. This wasn’t just an attack. This was an execution.His gaze snapped to Elliot Mercer, who remained seated, completely unfazed. The smirk on Elliot’s face sent a wave of rage coursing through Raymond’s veins.“You think this is funny?” Raymond’s voice was hoarse, barely above a growl. “You think I’m just going to sit here and let Oliver destroy me?”Elliot exhaled, setting his drink down with a quiet clink. He leaned back, crossing his legs leisurely. “Oh, you misunderstand, Calloway. It’s not about letting him destroy you. It’s about the fact that you can’t stop him.”Raymond slammed a fist against the bar. The few patrons around them turned to glance, sensing the tension but knowing be
CHAPTER 202. DAMAGE CONTROL
Raymond sat frozen in his chair, his hands clenched into fists as the weight of his downfall pressed down on him like a mountain. His empire, his power—everything he had built over the years had crumbled in mere minutes.His phone buzzed again, and with shaky fingers, he picked it up. A flood of messages from his board members, investors, and executives filled the screen. They were panicking. Some demanded explanations, others threatened to withdraw their support. His assistant sent a message—Mr. Calloway, we need immediate damage control. The media is asking questions.Raymond’s vision blurred as rage bubbled inside him. All because of one man.Oliver Roberts.The name now echoed in his head like a curse.Raymond had underestimated him, just like everyone else had. He had seen Oliver as nothing more than a quiet, unremarkable businessman, someone who got lucky in the corporate world. But now, he understood the truth.Oliver was far from ordinary.Raymond sucked in a sharp breath and
CHAPTER 201. AN UNMATCHED ENEMY
Raymond’s breath caught in his throat. His palms were damp, his fingers gripping the edge of his desk. Oliver Roberts was here. In his office.He barely had time to compose himself before the door swung open.Oliver walked in with the ease of a man who owned the building, despite the fact that it belonged to Raymond. He was calm, his dark eyes scanning the office without the slightest hint of urgency. He wasn’t here to negotiate. He was here to watch Raymond crumble.Raymond straightened in his chair, masking his nerves with arrogance. “Mr. Roberts,” he greeted coolly, though his voice wavered just enough to betray his unease.Oliver said nothing at first. He merely stepped closer, his gaze locking onto Raymond’s with the weight of something far more dangerous than anger—certainty.“You’ve been quite busy,” Oliver finally said, his tone casual.Raymond forced a smirk. “I like to stay informed about my competitors.”Oliver chuckled, the sound low and unimpressed. “Competitor?” He tilte
CHAPTER 200. WARNING IN PERSON
Raymond Calloway sat frozen, his fingers tightening around the black business card as if it were a ticking time bomb. His expensive watch, his custom-tailored suit—none of it mattered now. He had made the mistake of mocking a man who could wipe his company out of existence with a single decision.The café once filled with his laughter, now felt suffocatingly silent. The people who had been laughing along with him avoided eye contact. His so-called friends shifted uncomfortably, realizing they had aligned themselves with the wrong side.One of them, a man named Darren, coughed awkwardly. “Uh… Ray, man, you good?”Raymond barely heard him. His mind was spinning.Oliver Roberts.The president of Hoshier Corporation.A man who held more power in his hands than Raymond ever could.And he had insulted him. Mocked him. Treated him like some insignificant nobody.His pride burned. His fists clenched. But he wouldn’t apologize.No. He refused to bow.Raymond slammed the business card onto the
CHAPTER 199. UNDERESTIMATE THE WRONG MAN
Horizon Café was unusually crowded that evening. Oliver Roberts sat at a quiet corner table, sipping his black coffee, his fingers lazily tapping against the wooden surface. He had always preferred places like this—quiet, ordinary, unassuming. A place where no one looked twice at a man in a simple dark coat and well-fitted jeans.Unfortunately, not everyone shared his sense of discretion.A loud, arrogant laugh filled the air, followed by the clatter of an expensive watch hitting the table."Look at this," a voice sneered. "Genuine gold, straight from Italy. Have you ever seen something this fine?"Oliver didn't look up. He didn't need to. He already knew the type."Come on, tell me you’ve seen something better," the voice continued, a clear attempt to impress whoever was with him. "I bet you haven't. People like you don’t even know where to get real gold."Oliver exhaled slowly, eyes still fixed on his cup.The voice belonged to Raymond Calloway, a man whose wealth was built on inher
CHAPTER 198. SMART CHOICE
The city lights flickered against the cracked windshield as Oliver drove in silence.Elena kept glancing at him, waiting for a reaction.The attack, the car chase, the cryptic message—most men would be shaken.But Oliver Roberts wasn’t like most men.He didn’t look angry. He didn’t look worried.He looked bored.That terrified her more than anything.Finally, she broke the silence.“That was a message, wasn’t it?”Oliver exhaled through his nose. “It was a test.”Elena frowned. “A test?”Oliver nodded, gripping the steering wheel. “They wanted to see how I’d react. If I panicked. If I ran.”His fingers tapped against the dashboard.“They wanted to see if I was really the man people whisper about.”Elena swallowed. “And?”Oliver smirked. “Now they know.”***They pulled up to a private parking lot.The moment they stepped out, a man in a black suit was already waiting for them.No words were exchanged.Just a nod.Oliver returned the gesture before turning to Elena. “Go home.”Elena’s
