2024-10-01 15:01:41As soon as Trisha spotted Oliver, she stormed toward him, Jay and Denver trailing close behind.
“I told you to stop following me!” she snapped, her voice loud and hostile. “You pathetic lowlife! How dare you come here and lurk around like some creep?”
Oliver blinked by her outburst.
“Wait, you know him?” Jay asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
“That’s Trisha’s useless ex-husband,” Denver answered, his teeth clenched with anger. “What’s that nobody doing at a party like this?”
“It’s because he’s Rebecca’s boyfriend,” Jay interjected, a smug grin spreading across his face.
Trisha paused for a moment when she heard this.
She finally noticing the transformation in Oliver’s appearance.
He stood there in a sharp, expensive suit, clean-shaven and composed, radiating a powerful presence, made him look like a completely different man.
“What? Are you kidding me? There’s no way that bumpkin could snag someone like Rebecca.”
Trisha raised an eyebrow, her face twisting in disgust mixed with a strange unpleasantness.
Well, yes. Oliver is just a plaything. But after all, he spent 3-year times being her loyal plaything.
Now it felt like someone snatched this away. That was where the unpleasantness came from!
Jay smirked, raising his voice to ensure the crowd heard him.
“Is it true, Rebecca? Your new boyfriend is Trisha’s ex-husband?”
Gasps filled the room, heads turning toward them.
Rebecca smiled coolly, completely unfazed.
“Well, since you asked, yes. Let me introduce my boyfriend, Oliver.”
The room buzzed with murmurs upon hearing Rebecca’s answers.
“Seriously? Out of everyone, she picks Trisha’s ex-husband?”
“Does she have no shame? He may look decent, but what about money?”
Trisha sneered and raised her voice, dripping with mockery.
“So quick to find another woman, huh, Oliver? After bleeding my family dry, you just jumped to another rich woman?”
Listened to Rebecca’s reversal accusations, Oliver started to respond, but Rebecca spoke up first:
“We’re both single, so I don’t see the issue, Miss Trisha. After all, didn’t you also move on rather quickly?”
She continued, “As for your family’s finances—while I don’t discuss clients’ private matters publicly, I think you know the truth.”
Trisha’s face reddened with rage. Though the true state of her family’s finances was common knowledge among the elite, being called out openly like this cut deep.
Pointing a finger at Rebecca, she snarled,
“So you’re with some market worker? You, with rich men lining up for you, go for a loser?”
Rebecca raised an eyebrow. “And why not? He’s better than men who only care about flaunting their wealth.”
“Oh, really? Or do you just enjoy playing sugar mommy?” Trisha shot back, a smirk on her face.
“Of course! You let Oliver into the VVIP lounge to keep him as your boy toy!”
Trisha’s voice boomed, making sure everyone in the room heard her.
A tense silence followed, and a few of Rebecca’s clients exchanged judgmental glances.
Trisha looked smug, sensing she had stirred the pot.
“No wonder your judgment’s been so off lately. I mean, really, Oliver with a red card? The man can’t even dress himself for the occasion!” Trisha jeered.
Denver and Jay exchanged gleeful glances, reveling in the moment as Trisha insulted Rebecca without a hint of remorse.
But Rebecca didn't fight back immediately.
In fact, Rebecca was curious about Oliver, as well.
When she first met Oliver, he looked like a beggar, but he was the one who had a red card!
It's not something you can have with money.
Rebecca opened her mouth, but Oliver gently held her arm, stopping her.
She frowned a little. but her words faltered when she met Oliver’s cold, intimidating gaze.
Despite his calm demeanor, almost immediately change in the atmosphere.
Denver and Jay both shifted uncomfortably, recalling the pressure they felt from Oliver earlier.
It was clear now that it wasn't a coincidence.
But Trisha, was too caught up in the joy of humiliating Rebecca to notice the changing atmosphere in the room.
“Speechless, huh? Did I hit a nerve?”
Trisha chimed in, pulling Rebecca from her thoughts with a jolt.
She saw Rebecca’s startled reaction as a victory, a smile spreading across her face as she folded her arms and raised an eyebrow.
“I always thought you were capable, Rebecca. But we all overestimated your business skills, didn’t we?” Trisha taunted, her smirk growing more arrogant.
“I can’t help but wonder what you and Oliver do behind closed doors!”
Rebecca glanced at Oliver's calm face, remembering how he had acted and dressed earlier.
She suspected he preferred to stay low-key, avoiding the spotlight.
So, she simply smiled and replied,
“You don’t know anything about him. If you keep making baseless accusations, you might find yourself with a court summons.”
Jay chuckled and turned to Oliver.
“Know nothing? Why don’t you be a man, stop pretending, and say something?”
Oliver set his glass on a nearby table.
Ignoring Jay, he looked at Rebecca and said,
“Honey, it seems like dogs are barking here. Let’s find somewhere else to drink in peace.”

Chapter 513: The World That Turned Against Them
Nicholas was having a press conference, acting like an expert who could give a valid judgment on the incident.Lights were flashing, the reporters asked questions continuously, while the security were lined up, protecting Nicholas.“I will answer all your questions. But for now, let me process everything. It may not be obvious, and it may not have affected me directly, but I’m having a hard time, too.”As Nicholas stood in front of the podium, he looked like a grieving hero instead of the devil he was.His expression was perfectly crafted, sorrowful, pained, and even had a trembling body as if everything was too much to bear, taking everyone’s sympathy at first sight.He even bowed his head, acting like he wasn’t the one who started it all, causing Oliver to bite his lower lip harder in anger, tasting the blood on it.“Acting like he lost someone, yet he’s the one who made the explosion,” Oliver muttered, his voice laced with rage and bitterness.Still, he didn’t turn off the televisi

Nicholas clicked his tongue, shaking his head with a devilish smile. “Fucking pathetic.”The silence filled the air, the tension creeping onto Zyren’s body.He had seen those powers before because Jack also has them, but with Nicholas… It felt different.Stronger. Deadlier.As Nicholas drank his remaining wine, he slowly walked to his chair and sat on it, resting his elbows as if he were settling into a throne, not caring about the broken table.His gaze sharpened, cold and unforgiving.“Zyren.”“Yes, Master?”“If Zero truly possessed a mutation that allowed him to survive that blast…” Nicholas murmured, “Then it could only mean two things.”Zyren looked up, unsure. “What is it, Master?”Nicholas’ voice dropped to a chilling whisper.“It’s either someone tampered with my research, or he could be a part of that family.”Silence filled the air. Zyren didn’t understand what Nicholas was talking about at first, especially upon mentioning the word ‘family’.“But it’s impossible. The peopl

Zyren nodded, and Nicholas thought he was going to leave after the conversation.To Nicholas’ shock, Zyren remained standing, looking at him, his mouth opening and closing as if he was hesitating to speak.“If you have to say something, just speak,” Nicholas commanded, the authority evident in his tone. “Why are you so hesitant about it?”“Because I’m not sure of this report, Sir,” Zyren admitted, his gaze fixated on the floor, his body slightly bowing. “I’ve only heard it from the others while I’m monitoring Zerenette.”Nicholas raised an eyebrow. The tone of Zyren’s voice made him curious.“What is it?”“It’s about Zero,” he continued, his expression darkening. “Some reported that Oliver almost left the place before the explosion, but it was confirmed that he was still in the vicinity.”Upon hearing those words, Nicholas smiled devilishly.“So, you’re unsure whether Zero died in that explosion or not?” Nicholas let out a chuckle. “Of course, he will, even if he’s just near the facil

Meanwhile, Nicholas was in his office in the Devoran Corporation located in the Capital.He was in front of the glass wall, staring at the view with a smile on his lips. In his position, not only could he see the Capital, but even the towns nearby.Holding a cup of wine in his hand, he moved it slightly, so the liquid inside was moving, too. Not that much, not too slow.“Master.”Nicholas heard a knock on the door, snapping him to his senses.“Come in.”The door opened, and it revealed a man wearing a suit and tie, something he was uncomfortable with, but trying to get along with it from time to time.It was Zyren, the last member standing of the Card Elite.He was mostly in the shadows as Nicholas instructed him not to show himself yet. After all, the Legion V members weren’t aware of his existence.All of them thought they had killed every member of the Card Elite and even destroyed the whole organization.But Card Elite only stands by its name. It won’t be destroyed, not unless they

It was already late in the evening, and the entire Legion was silent again.Everyone was already asleep. Even Reynald and Zerenette, who still looked worried despite being unconscious, were now having their rest.Only one person stayed awake despite the chaos.Oliver.He was just looking out the window, staring at the buildings outside Legion.“We planned everything, even more carefully than we did on the Card Elite,” he muttered, the pain evident in his voice. “Where did everything go wrong?”They thought they had won. That they managed to corner Nicholas after all the evil things he was planning against Colossia.But it turns out Nicholas deceived them, letting them think they were at an advantage even though it was the exact opposite.“Shit,” he mumbled, heaving a sigh.To his shock, someone sat beside him.“Can’t sleep?”Oliver looked to his side. It was Charlie. He even wiped his eyes, and it was evident on his face that he was still sleepy.However, seeing Oliver blame himself a

Zerenette didn’t answer immediately, but then, she nodded.No one spoke for a moment. They only watched Oliver as he remained still.But after a few seconds, he opened his eyes, the pupils’ colors golden. His presence was stronger than before, and it felt intimidating, although they were just looking at the screen.At that time, everyone knew it already. Oliver isn’t the same person anymore.“That’s it… The awakening,” Pierce said, his lips curving into a smirk, feeling proud of what happened.“He made it,” Reynald said as he sighed in relief, his voice barely in a whisper. “I thought we'd lose him, but he did it. That power, and he became one.”Charlie just remained silent, but at the same time, he felt relieved that Oliver was in good condition now.However, he also knew that there could be a side effect to something like this.No matter what it could be, he would always be on Oliver’s side.*****After what happened, Reynald, Charlie, Zerenette, and Pierce also returned to the Legio
