“You stink asshole! We’re done! Don’t make me call the cops!”
Trisha screamed, and Oliver just sighed.
“Not everything is about you, Trisha. I'm here for the business.”
Trisha eyed him from head to toe, her expression full of disdain.
“Business? You?” She laughed, shaking her head. “Please! You can’t even afford to walk through those doors. Aren’t you embarrassed?”
“Why would I be?”
“Because this is a private bank that only serves real VIPs,”
The guard standing nearby chimed in, rolling his eyes.
Oliver glanced at the guard, unfazed.
“Okay, and what if I am one of your top clients?” he asked.
The guard raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed.
“If you’re a top client, then I’m the President.”
“Like a stray dog pretending to be a lion,” Trisha added, smirking. “Stay out here and watch me go inside, loser.”
She gave him one last smug look before strutting through the doors and into the bank.
Oliver let out a quiet chuckle, then turned to the guard, his voice calm but firm.
“Here’s my card. You can check it out.”
He handed the guard a small, red card.
The guard hesitated, took the card, and scanned it.
But as Oliver was about to relax, the guard grabbed him by the collar, eyes blazing.
“You think you can trick me just because I’m a guard?” he spat.
"What are you talking about?" Oliver confused by his sudden actions.
The guard shoved the red card back in his face.
“This isn’t one of our cards! We don’t issue red cards—not even to our regular clients!”
Oliver frowned.
“I knew it. Only a bum would try to pull a cheap trick like this!”
The guard grumbled. He pulled out a stun baton, ready to activate it.
But before he could, Oliver caught his wrist in a grip of iron.
The guard discovered with horror that he couldn't move an inch.
“That thing’s dangerous. Don’t wave it around,”
Oliver warned, his voice low and serious.
Just then, a well-dressed woman approached, radiating authority.
"Is there a problem here?" she asked, her voice is beautiful.
“Miss Rebecca,” the guard stammered, lowering the baton at once.
Rebecca was the customer relations manager at Umbrella Bank, known for her poise with elite clients.
"The noise out here is disturbing our customers," Rebecca said, her sharp eyes surveying the situation.
Then, she turned her attention to Oliver, her tone shifting to one of professionalism despite his appearance.
"May I ask what brings you to the bank today?"
The guard let out a scoff.
“Don’t waste your time, Miss Rebecca. This guy’s a bum with a fake card and call it red card.”
Rebecca’s brow furrowed as something flashed in her mind.
“A red card?” she repeated, her gaze falling to the card in Oliver’s hand. “May I see it, please?”
Without a word, Oliver handed it over.
She examined the card for a moment, her eyes widening in realization.
"This… This is a real red card!"
The guard blinked in confusion.
“But… we don’t issue red cards. Right?”
Rebecca nodded slowly, her expression one of awe.
“That’s true,” she said, almost in a whisper. “Red cards are so rare, they’re not even listed in the manuals. They’re practically a legend around here. I can’t believe I’m standing in front of someone who actually has one!”
Without wasting another moment, Rebecca quickly pulled out her phone and made a call.
"A VVIP has just arrived,"
She announced, her voice filled with urgency. She then turned to Oliver, bowing slightly.
“I apologize for the guard’s behavior. The bank will make sure this is handled properly. Sir…?”
“Oliver,” he said,
Beside them, the guard’s face drained of all color.
Clang!
The stun baton slipped from his grip and clattered to the ground.
He stammered, looking at Oliver in sheer panic. “S-Sir… O-Oliver… Please… I... I…”
The guard understood the gravity of a VVIP.
He’d just tried to throw out one of the highest-ranking clients in existence.
He might lose his job— or worse! He might be fined a great amount of money to compensate for the damage.
But Rebecca barely paid more attention on the guard anymore.
Instead, she focused on Oliver, with a warm, respectful smile.
“Please, follow me. I’ll assist you personally, Sir. Oliver.”
Oliver nodded and walked beside her into the bank.
As they passed through the lobby, every employee stopped to bow and show respect, their eyes tracking Oliver and Rebecca as they walked.
Trisha, still at the counter, leaned over to the staff member assisting her.
"What’s going on? Why is everyone treating that loser like he’s royalty?"
The staff member leaned in and whispered, "He’s got the red card, Ma’am."
Trisha’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"The red card? You mean the one reserved for the high-ranking officials from the capital of Colossia?"
“Yes, ma’am,” the staff member nodded,“That card’s extremely rare—no more than 50 exist worldwide. So, the holder is treated as a VVIP at any bank they visit.”Trisha’s eyes widened in shock. She bit her lip, feeling her heartbeat quicken.She had spent years chasing wealth, hopping from one rich man to the next, trying to keep her lavish lifestyle.The inheritance she withdrew every month from her father’s account, was barely enough to keep her lavish lifestyle.‘I’ve only heard about the red card from my father, but I never thought I’d see someone with one…’ Trisha thought, frowning as she processed the revelation.‘But Oliver? Impossible!’Next second, Trisha marched over to Rebecca."Don’t trust this man, Miss. Rebecca! He’s a fraud, trying to scam you!"Rebecca raised an eyebrow, her voice calm but sharp."A fraud? That’s a serious accusation, Miss Trisha.""I’m not accusing him; I’m telling you the truth!" Trisha’s tone grew louder, "He probably found the card on the street, or
Oliver typed in the password and hit "Enter,"His nerves tingling a bit. If he got it wrong again, he knew Rebecca would kick him out on the spot.[Password Correct]Relief washed over him as the card unlocked—only to be replaced by utter shock.He saw the account balance flash on the screen.When the final digit appeared, Oliver’s eyes widened.It started with a "1," followed by nine zeros.A billion dollars!What kind of life did I have before I lost my memory?Oliver wondered, staring at the number in disbelief.The wealth alone stunned him, but the password he’d just used intrigued him even more.“It was a birthdate... but whose?” Oliver frowned.Just then, Rebecca broke the silence.“Sir, with a red card, you don’t need to mind your balance, It is practically unlimited. You have full access to funds from any bank,” she explained.Oliver nodded slowly, trying to wrap his head around it.“So, with a balance like this, does that mean I can withdraw money from anywhere?”Rebecca smil
After a single ring, the call connected.“Hello, Sir Oliver!” Rebecca’s voice was smooth, professional.Oliver blinked. “How did you know it was me?”Rebecca smiled. “I don’t give my number to many people, and any unknown number I answer is always noteworthy. It wasn’t too hard to guess.”Clearing his throat, Oliver asked, “Your offer of help still stands?”“Of course. Anything, anytime.”“Does Umbrella Bank invest the largest wet market in town?”“Yes, we do.” There was a hint of curiosity in her voice. “Why do you ask?”“The market manager is abusing his power. It’s harming business and could damage the bank’s reputation. He just assaulted my friend.”Her voice took on a sharper tone. “Is that so? What would you like me to do about it?”“Make it hurt.”“Understood. Give me five minutes,” she replied before hanging up.Anthony sneered as Oliver put his phone away. “Was that a fake call? Trying to scare me? Really funny.”Oliver remained calm. “You’ll see soon enough. Don’t say I didn
"Of course not," Oliver replied. "It’s my money. Take it. Pay me back whenever you can—no rush, and definitely no interest."Nate’s hands trembled as he stared at the stack of bills, unsure whether to accept.This wasn’t just a loan; it was a life-changing sum.He hesitated, but thoughts of his son's medical bills tipped the scale.With a deep breath, he pocketed the cash."Thank you, Oliver," Nate said, his voice thick with emotion. "I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you.""Everything will work out, Nate. I promise," Oliver said, sincerity in his eyes.Nate smiled, a mix of relief and gratitude softening his expression. "I believe it will, buddy."Somehow, he couldn’t help but replay the image of Anthony trembling in front of Oliver. Who is this guy really? he wondered, but just as quickly dismissed the thought. Nah, if he were someone important, he wouldn’t have tolerated Anthony for this long. He’s just another guy trying to get by.When they reached Nate’s modest house, it showed
Oliver’s heart sank at Carolina’s words. Once upon a time, he’d cleaned her house, taken her to doctor appointments, cooked meals, and spent hours keeping her company. She’d been warm, kind—even motherly. But now, her eyes held only cold disdain, as if they were strangers.Maybe her kindness only be a mask, just a reflection of Cole’s wealth?“Get out of here now!” she spat, her voice sharp as a knife. “Or do you want to get arrested?”A swirl of anguish rose inside him, but Oliver didn’t respond. He turned to leave, but Carolina stepped in front of him, blocking the way.“Leave everything behind!” she snapped, eyes narrowing.“These are my belongings,” Oliver replied. It was just some old clothes in his bag.Carolina took a step closer, contempt twisting her expression.“Are you out of your mind? You don’t deserve a single thing from this house!”Oliver’s frustration flared. Not worth a thing? I paid for this house. Most of the household bills, too.But he didn’t say it. Instead,
Gasps rippled through the crowd, astonished by the exchange between them.Rebecca, known for her beauty and constant refusals, showing up with a “nobody”?“Trash? He’s far better than you,” Rebecca shot back, folding her arms and staring Jay down. “And where are your manners?”Jay sneered. “Manners? I only show those to people who deserve them. Clearly not this poor loser.”He retorted, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “But I’m curious — Why are you even with this guy? Did you find him online and hire him for the night”Laughter echoed from the other guests, nodding in agreement.It made sense; Rebecca would go to such lengths to avoid a real relationship.Jay continued, his tone mocking.“Really, Rebecca if you’re going to hire someone, couldn’t you set your standards a little higher? Even the janitors here are dressed better than him!”“You should have hired me instead of him, Rebecca. I’m the one who truly matches your vibe. This old man couldn't event satisfy you.”But Rebecca didn
As 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 s
Rebecca offered a slight smile before quickly hiding it.“The dirty mutt who only knows how to smear someone’s name without any proof…” Oliver remarked, his gaze shifting to them.“…And all the followers who blindly believe her.” His eyes swept over the other guests.As his words settled, the room fell silent.The guests’ faces morphed into expressions of disgust and disbelief.Jay’s face darkened in anger.“You worthless son of a bitch,” he hissed through clenched teeth, “I’m gonna kick your ass out of your mouth.”“This damn bastard!”Denver growled, losing his patience. He lunged forward, grabbing Oliver by the collar.***An elderly man walked along the plush, carpeted hallway outside, furrowing his brow as he approached the door.“What’s going on inside? Why is it so noisy?”One of his subordinates picked up a walkie-talkie to explain,“It seems there’s been a disagreement in the banquet hall, but it hasn’t escalated to the point of needing security yet.”This elderly man was the
“What’s happening?” Trisha asked the bank teller, her brows furrowing.“I’m sorry, Ms. Trisha,” the bank teller said, sliding the necklace in front of her, “but you can’t withdraw the money even with the necklace present.”Trisha’s eyes widened, her hands slamming the desk in shock. “What? But I was told that it was written in the contract! What nonsense are you saying now?!”“The necklace is not the only thing you need, Ms. Trisha,” the bank teller explained, her eyes fixated on the screen. “You only need Mr. Oliver’s consent as well.”“O-Oliver’s what?” Trisha blinked in shock and clenched her fists. “That motherfucker stole my father’s necklace. And now, you’re telling me I need his consent?”“It wasn’t stolen. Mr. Cole Henverton really gave it to him.”The bank teller moved her monitor, making Trisha and Carolina see what was on her screen.“According to this, Mr. Cole placed Mr. Oliver as the necklace’s owner, which technically would be the same for the savings account…” she said
Upon leaving the restaurant, Trisha went to an ally and called Carolina’s number with a smile.“Mom!” Trisha said as Carolina answered the call. “I have good news!”“You brat, can’t you lower your tone?” Carolina said, slightly pulling the phone from her ear. “Anyway, what is it? Why do you sound so happy?”“I got Dad’s necklace!” she said, giggling. “I never thought Oliver would dare steal something like this, but it’s not important now.”“Wait… What?” Carolina blinked in surprise.She stopped what she was doing—cleaning her nails while watching a soap opera on the television—and focused her entire attention on Trisha.“Oliver stole a necklace? And your father’s necklace, to top it all?” Carolina asked in disbelief.“Yes, Mom. I don’t know how he did that, though,” Trisha sneered. “But Mom, can you believe it? This necklace could withdraw money from Dad's savings account.”Trisha smiled, feeling the necklace in her hand.On the other hand, Carolina was shocked by the revelations. “Wh
“POOR GIRL! After all her family did for him, this is what she’ll receive?”“Right! Like, how shameless can he be, walking around with stolen jewelry?”“If I were her, I’d call the police. Thieves like him deserve to be punished!”The restaurant buzzed with murmurs and sharp whispers, each word cutting deeper than the last. All eyes bore into Oliver with judgment, their gazes heavy with disdain.Trisha stood before him, her stance confident, her smirk betraying the satisfaction she felt. The audience was hers, and she knew it. ‘That’s what you get for humiliating me, Oliver!’With that situation, Trisha expected Oliver to be caught off-guard, especially on the way she confronted him.But to her shock, Oliver didn’t even flinch.His eyes narrowed, his expression steely as he stood his ground. “Trisha,” he began, his voice steady and cold, slicing through the noise. “What proof do you have that I stole it?”The room stilled, the weight of his question silencing the crowd momentarily.
TRISHA BLINKED her eyes twice and chuckled in disbelief.“The police…” she said, her tone barely in a whisper. “Just who are you trying to threaten, huh?”Oliver’s lips curved into a smirk, his gaze cold. “No threats, Trisha. Just a fact.”He leaned in slightly, narrowing his distance with Trisha.“Keep testing me, and we’ll see if truth will prevail,” Oliver warned, his tone dangerously low. “I’ve got nothing to lose now. Can you say the same?”Trisha’s mocking smile faltered, and the confidence in her eyes wavered for the first time.She realized Oliver was right. Everyone knew him as a worthless and pathetic man. He has nothing to lose… Unlike her.And she can’t afford to lose anything, especially not now that Denver’s was on the verge of breaking off their relationship.Seeing the change in Trisha’s reaction, Oliver smirked. “I guess you returned to your senses now.”Trisha’s mouth opened to retort, but no words came out. Without another glance, Oliver walked away, leaving her tr
The man bolted upright, shock flashing across his face. “Everyone? From The Phantom Order?”“Yes, Sir,” one of his men confirmed. “Not just that—the headquarters was destroyed with explosives. No survivors.”The man clenched his jaw, his mind racing. ‘The Phantom Order, one of the most feared groups in the country, was wiped out just like that?’‘The Phantom Order members, one of the best gangs in this country, were eliminated in a snap?’“They were slaughtered,” added the voice on the other end, low and grave. “And I saw people cleaning up. Judging by their uniforms and equipment, they came from the capital.”Hearing those words, the man paused, then spoke. “Any idea who’s behind this?”“I don’t…” he muttered. “But I’ve received some intel. I’m not sure whether to believe it or not.”His voice was slightly stammering.The hesitation in the voice drew the man’s eyebrows together. “Who?”After a sharp inhale, the voice answered, “They said it was Zero.”“Zero?” The man forced a laugh.
“GOOD,” Oliver answered and ended the call.He slid the phone into his pocket and looked outside the window. Oliver hoped that the clear, night sky would help him relax. But it didn’t.Tons of questions formed in Oliver’s mind, including the sweet, gentle voice he heard in his mind earlier.“I know you won’t hurt me.”Strangely, that voice gives him warmth and motivation—That everything will be alright.But whose voice did it come from?“Hmmm…” Rebecca groaned, snapping Oliver back to his senses.Oliver went to Rebecca and held his hand. “I&rsquo
OLIVER BROUGHT Rebecca to a hospital. He called Melissa to help him hide this from anyone, avoiding the reporters to swarm in their location.Now, Rebecca was resting in a VIP room, while Oliver and Melissa were on the corner. They prevented making a loud sound that could hinder Rebecca from resting.“I talked with the doctor earlier. He said that Rebecca is already fine; she just needs to rest from exhaustion,” Melissa informed. “Also, the doctor gave her medicine, and she will return to her normal state once she wakes up.”Hearing those words made Oliver sigh in relief.At the same time, he remembered the fear in Rebecca’s eyes while looking at him.“Is something the matter?” Melissa asked, seeing the shift in Oliver’s expression. “If it’s about what happened in the warehouse, I sent personnel to clean them all.”“That’s not it.” Oliver shook his head. “Rebecca saw with her two eyes… how I killed those men.”If something like that happens again, Oliver won’t hesitate to do the same
In a swift motion, Oliver flung the knife aside and grabbed the scarred man by his collar, slamming him against the wall. His fists flew with relentless precision, alternating between the man’s face and stomach.The sickening thuds of impact were accompanied by the man’s groans of pain.“You messed with the wrong person,” Oliver growled, his fist smashing into the man’s nose with a brutal crack. Blood poured freely, and the man’s nose broke under the force. “Don’t bother deciding how you want to die now. I’ll choose for you.”He hurled the man against the wall again, surveying the damage. Broken nose, closed eyes, blood flowing from his mouth—all of it was enough to send a strange satisfaction onto Oliver’s body.“This is for kidnapping Rebecca,” Oliver said, driving his fist into the man’s jaw. “And this is for the order to kill me.” His next punch struck the man’s stomach with bone-crushing force, doubling him over in agony.“And this…” Oliver’s knee slammed into the man’s crotch,
Hearing those words, the man was enraged. His grip on the steel pipe tightened as he swung it on Oliver’s head.“Take this, asshole!” he exclaimed angrily.“Oliver! No!” Rebecca shouted in worry, yet she couldn’t look at the scene.She turned her head away, unable to watch the brutality in front of her.The man’s smirk widened, thinking that he would catch Oliver off-guard with his sudden attack.But to his shock, Oliver raised his arm and grabbed the steel pipe in his hand.“W-What the fuck?” the man grunted in shock as he tried to get it out of Oliver’s grip.However, Oliver
