Nicolas maintained his composure as Neptune assumed a fighting stance in front of him. In spite of the fact that he did not show any emotion on his face, he could not help but find her behavior to be very amusing.

She assumed a combat stance.

For real?

She genuinely believed that she could prevail over him in a fight?

Internally, Nicolas let out a scoff.

What a farce this was.

He did not assume his own combat stance and instead glanced at Neptune in a calm and collected manner. He had a lot of inquiries regarding Oasis, and as a high-ranking member of Oasis, she would be able to answer all of his queries without any difficulty.

Nicolas was unable to show any sign of emotion when he confronted her, and Neptune watched as he did so.

In spite of the fact that his stunning face was expressionless, she was able to read the subtle traces of derision and contempt that were evident in his piercing blue irises.

It was almost as if he were seeing a clown put on one of their most impressive perf

    It took a very long time to get to the Blue Diamond Villa, which was quite reasonable given the distance. After all, Nicolas was required to travel a great distance in the black van that he bought for $1.2 million in order to reach Virigen County, which was located at a great distance from Stormwind City Central.Naturally, he modified his black vehicle to his preferences, which required a significant financial investment on his part.All things considered, Nicolas was content with how things stood with the black vehicle at the moment. In addition to its many other impressive qualities, it was resistant to bullets and flames and had the ability to drive itself.Nicolas's thoughts were pretty calm and collected as he drove along the sparse roadway, which appeared to be quite desolate due to the fact that it was late in the night and by this time very few drivers were still on the road.Nicolas was reflecting on how his night had gone, and he was quite pleased with how things turned out

    A few seconds after the chairman of Oasis stopped speaking, there was complete and utter silence in the deluxe conference hall.The twelve knights of Oasis were completely astounded by what they had just heard. If those exact comments had been stated by someone else, they wouldn't have wasted a single second before labeling that individual as insane and a psychiatric patient.In fact, if it weren't for the fact that such statements were made by their chairman, the twelve individuals seated around that large rectangular mahogany table would have never entertained the possibility of believing them.However, given that it originated from their chairman, they had no choice but to take it at face value, despite the fact that it seemed to contradict everything they knew to be true.Venus was the first one who roused himself from his trance; his vacant eyes were no longer unfocused, and the monotonous expression that had been plastered on his face had vanished entirely."What exactly do you

    Nicolas was completely unaware of the fact that the entire Oasis organization was now operating like a well-oiled machine, and their sole objective was to locate Neptune and free her from his grasp.Nicolas was continuing to drive his black van in a steady and even manner, keeping his speed constant the entire time. The road was still almost completely deserted, but he was no longer in Virigen County; instead, he was in Stormwind City Central.He anticipated that he would arrive at his destination, which was his Blue Diamond Villa, somewhere in the following forty minutes from the current time that was read on his black van’s dashboard clock.The following forty minutes passed without incident, and there was no suspense because Nicolas simply parked his very costly black van in the underground garage of his villa.After stepping out of the van, he moved in a direct direction toward the huge space in the van where he had previously carefully dropped Neptune.He was able to pull her up

    Neptune turned her gaze to Nicolas and expressed surprise at her effortlessly beautiful and flawless face as she did so.The reason for this was, of course, as simple as it could be.This wasn't one of the questions she anticipated Nicolas would ask, so she wasn't even thinking about it.Even in her most irrational moments, she could not fathom the possibility that Nicolas would not have a comprehensive understanding of the Oasis organization.Why would he kidnap her if he had no idea how the Oasis organization operated? She was a high-ranking member of the group, after all.Wasn’t he afraid of the repercussions or consequences his actions could bring?In addition, simply by analyzing the design of this mansion, she was able to deduce that the price of the villa was exorbitantly high.With the amount of wealth that she currently had in her possession, it was highly unlikely that she would be able to acquire such a ridiculously expensive edifice, which indicated that the person who kid

    Grey Tyris, his long-time friend, did not call him with any positive news at all, just as he had predicted, and he was not surprised.“Killian Russell, a high-ranking member of the Russell family, has recently contacted the other three overlords of Stormwind City to arrange a gathering.” Grey Tyris finally spoke, his tone as solemn as it was humanly possible to make it.Terrence Emerald, who was relaxedly reclining in his plush lounger, visibly scowled. He was visibly frowning due to the fact that he had just been informed of something that made him extremely upset.“When did you first receive the invitation to the meeting?” When Terrence asked the question, the weightiness in his tone mirrored the weightiness in his friend's tone.In light of the fact that he was one of the four overlords in charge of Stormwind City, the fact that he had not yet gotten his invitation letter was a very reasonable cause for suspicion."Yesterday."

    Vine Lane, Stormwind City.Vine Lane was one of the numerous middle class areas in Stormwind City, with well-built houses and apartment which were also pleasantly looking occupying the neat streets of the neighborhood.There were of course several middle end cars plying the traffic regulated highway, with the residents heading to their various destinations.The walkway reserved for the pedestrians were as empty as it could be, with only a very few passerby walking occasionally across the well paved ground.The weather was a little bit sunny, but considering the fact that it was 10:21 a.m., it was nothing too serious. Moreover, from the relaxed expression on the faces of the few pedestrians, as well as the residents in the various relaxing buildings like cafés and several restaurants, this wasn’t a one-time occurrence for them, so they were pretty much used to it.The fact that it was a Saturday, which was a weekend also contributed to the calm, serene and scanty environment.Tyrese Mi
