2024-08-20 10:03:51“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?"

Chapter 542: Take Down
Caleb looked behind him and saw Zyren walking out of the shadows.“It’s you,” Caleb spoke, his tone low. “I thought you were not going to show yourself anymore.”“Why won’t I? You have given me your authority as a police officer who monitors the Legion, so I can come and go whenever I please,” Zyren answered, his lips curving into a smirk. He added, “That just proves your loyalty.”Caleb didn’t answer. Instead, he leaned on the wall and puffed on his cigarette.“Hmm… I think I know why you’re grumpy,” Zyren said, tilting his head as he clicked his tongue. “Oliver is suspecting you, isn’t he?”“Of course, he will.” Caleb’s lips curved into a smirk, the smoke coming out of his mouth every time he spoke. “We’re not on good terms.”“Also, he became more attentive ever since that incident with Jack happened. I’m sure he won’t take this situation lightly.”“Knowing Zero, you’re goddamn right.” Zyren showed a devilish smile. “But don’t worry. Everything is under control.”Caleb’s brows furr
Chapter 541: Leaked Information
Smirking, Caleb went inside the room, and Oliver followed him.Oliver shut the door behind them, the small click of the lock echoing on every corner.The empty room was dark and silent. Dusts filled the old shelves lined with old weapons and boxes. But no one cared about that.Instead, Oliver’s gaze remained on Caleb, who raised an eyebrow in mixed amusement and confusion.“What’s the matter?” Caleb asked sarcastically, his lips curving into a smirk. “You’re looking at me as if you wanted to kill me.”“Because I do,” answered Oliver without hesitation.Oliver closed the distance in two strides and slammed Caleb against the wall by the collar.“Did you really think that no one would notice you acting strange for the past few days?” Oliver asked, gritting his teeth in anger.“While you’ve been looking at everyone else as if they were pawns of your games, I’m also looking at you, observing your every move.”Oliver’s voice was low and intimidating, and if other people were in front of h
Chapter 540: Prove Me Wrong
With the possibility that Nicholas might have been able to take Caleb on his side, although they didn’t have any idea on how they did it, Oliver realized something.Nicholas’ next move wouldn’t just be political, but even more dangerous than before.He had planted a trap, one that threatened the Legion, Colossia, and everyone they cared for.And now, it was only a matter of time before it fully unfolded, something that sent shivers onto Oliver’s spine.“That’s all I have to say for this press conference,” Zerenette suddenly spoke, halting Oliver from his thoughts.“If you have another question, then I’ll ask you to wait until I conduct the next one. Thank you.”Upon saying those words, Zerenette had already stepped out of the podium, ignoring the reporters shouting questions toward her.She was also aware that the public were against them now, although she wasn’t seeing the social media posts yet.The reporters stood up, and as they were more aggressive than earlier, they were about t
Chapter 539: Perfectly Countered
“What happened to Reynald Lakovia?” he asked without hesitation. “Charlie Wiles has been taken into police custody for a while now.”“Yet you’re here in front of us instead of him. Is he in a bad condition?”“No. I can assure you that he’s in good condition, but he needs rest right now,” Zerenette answered without hesitation. “But I’m not here to talk about that.Murmurs rippled in the air, much louder than before.All of them were now curious about what Zerenette was going to say.“I’m here to clarify recent events and provide the truth about the explosion that has been reported across Colossia.”Zerenette's gaze swept the room, landing briefly on Oliver, who gave her a subtle nod of reassurance. He had been her guide, her shield in the past, and even now, he stood slightly in the corner, ready to intervene if anything went wrong.She treats Oliver as a second father, and that will never change.“As investigations are ongoing,” Zerenette continued, clearing her throat, “we can confi
Chapter 538: Press Conference
Everyone nodded.“Then, this meeting is adjourned,” Zerenette said, bringing the meeting to a close. “Let’s have a meeting again once the plan has been finalized.”“For now, let’s go back to doing our tasks.”All of them bowed slightly, showing both affirmation and respect.Everyone left the room afterward, and when Oliver was about to exit through the door, Zerenette called him.“Stay here for a while, Zero,” Zerenette commanded, and Oliver obliged.Closing the door, he went back to his assigned seat.“Are you going to ask about your father’s condition?” Oliver asked, reading through Zerenette’s expression.Zerenette nodded with a sigh.“You know that I can’t visit him as much as I wanted to. There are so many things to deal with. I hope he understands that.”“Of course, he will,” Oliver said, the sincerity evident in his voice. “He was the one who trained you for this. He knows how hectic it could be.”He added, “And he’s still stable. However, they still don’t have any idea why he
Chapter 537: Dealing With The Public Backlash
Using his energy, Oliver was making sure that Reynald was always in good condition, although no one could find why he wasn't waking up yet.“Don’t worry, Sir. Once we find any news about this, we’ll inform you immediately,” the doctor said, the sincerity evident in his tone.Oliver replied, “Please do.”The doctor only nodded in response before exiting the room, leaving Oliver and Reynald alone.Sitting beside Reynald, Oliver’s hands hover just above his chest.Just like with Ray, Nick, and Samuel, Oliver could feel the residual energy in Reynald’s body.His powers were keeping them alive through the blast, and it’s the same with Reynald when it comes to the residual effect of the virus that struck him.It wasn’t healing, not in the traditional sense, but stabilization, holding them in the fragile state between life and collapse until medical help could take over.“Reynald, hang on,” Oliver murmured, closing his eyes as he concentrated his energy. “Just let me do this while the medic
