2022-12-10 18:27:23"I can bring some for you some other time."
Oliver nodded as the two walked into the villa.
Getting into the villa, Oliver realized there were about five neatly dressed ladies and two neatly dressed guys.
When they all saw Logan enter with a guy following her, they turned to look at each other in shock.
Logan, whom they knew for a long time, never entertains the opposite sex, so how come he walked in with a guy?
When Logan told them she was going to pick up someone, they expected the person to be a lady, not a guy.
Nora Steward, who was among the ladies, walked towards Logan and asked, "Logan, who's he?"
"Nora, he's Oliver Storm, my friend."
"Friend?" They all questioned at once.
They were all shocked because most of them had tried to befriend Logan, but it was to no avail; they could say Nora was their friend, but something couldn't be said for Logan.
Logan turned to Oliver and said, "Mr. Storm, she's my best friend, Nora Steward, and they're her friends."
"Once a year, we have a party to celebrate our friendship."
Oliver nodded, "Hello, Ms. Steward, nice meeting you."
Nora nodded with a smile and said, "I guess Mr. Storm is really capable of being able to befriend my stubborn friend."
Oliver smiled but said nothing.
"Well, let's all head to the dining room and have a good feast."
After some seconds, Logan came back from the kitchen with different varieties of dishes, which she placed on the table.
Nora also walked in with the wines.
"These are all dishes I took time to prepare with Nora, so I hope you all can enjoy them to the fullest."
"There are also a lot of wines, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, so you can drink to your satisfaction."
"That's very kind of Ms. Logan and Nora." They all said so as they started to dine.
"Mr. Storm, which one do you prefer?" Logan asked.
"Non-alcoholic drinks would be better for me."
Logan nodded as he poured a glass for him.
"Cheers to our years of friendship; Nora raised her cup to meet Logan's."
"To all my other friends here who have also been with me all time, cheers to you all." Nora said, raising her glass again.
Oliver, who was busily enjoying his meal and wine, suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him.
He raised his head only to see one guy among the two staring at him coldly as if he had an animosity towards him.
He was Jace Denson. Jace had fallen in love with Logan and had tried his best to get Logan's attention, but all his efforts bore no fruit. Seeing Logan bring Oliver and treat him well, he felt jealous and mad.
Oliver didn't take his cold stare to heart but rather continued with his food.
"Mr. Storm, there are more dishes, and you're my special guest, so you should eat more." Logan said.
Oliver chuckled. "Logan, thank you for your kind treatment."
"So what work is Mr. Storm doing?" Jace, who had been quiet all this time, finally asked.
All eyes were now on Oliver when Jace asked the question. Logan wanted to say something but swallowed her words.
"Actually, I am not working."
"What!" They were all shocked upon hearing Oliver's reply. How could Logan befriend someone who wasn't working?
Even Logan couldn't believe that Oliver wasn't working, but she felt it was normal for someone as rich as him.
"Is Mr. Storm really speaking the truth?" Nora questioned.
Oliver smiled and replied, "I'm not working."
Even though they were shocked, Jace was rather filled with joy. He wanted to use the opportunity to humiliate Oliver.

Chapter 428: Vespera Shot
The cacophony of gunfire gradually began to subside as Vespera and her remaining men pressed deeper into the warehouse. Dust particles danced in the slivers of light that pierced the shadows, casting an ethereal glow on the scene of chaos they had unleashed. The once formidable gang members were now scrambling, their coordinated efforts unraveling under the relentless assault from Vespera’s team.Vespera took a moment to steady her breathing, her eyes scanning the dimly lit interior for any signs of movement. Her twin pistols, still warm from the earlier exchanges, were firmly gripped in her hands. She glanced over to her lieutenant, Marcus, who was crouched behind a stack of crates, tending to a wound on his shoulder.“Marcus, status report,” Vespera commanded softly, her voice cutting through the lingering tension.Marcus glanced up, wincing as he pressed a makeshift bandage against his injury. “We’ve neutralized the majority of their front line. A few are regrouping near the easter
Chapter 427: Vespera Men vrs The Gang
Boom!” Boom!”Gunfire thundered through the warehouse like a crack of constant lightning, echoing off the metal walls. Vespera crouched behind a stack of crates, breathing heavily as she surveyed the confusion erupting around her. Across the open space, several of her men darted from cover to cover, exchanging bullets with the entrenched gang. The flickering overhead lights and the fading daylight outside cast strange shadows on everyone’s faces, making it hard to tell friend from foe at a glance.A sudden movement drew Vespera’s eye—a gang member peering out from behind a barrel. He was angling his rifle around, clearly targeting one of her flanking teammates. Vespera exhaled slowly to steady her aim. Boom!” With a single, crisp shot, she put a bullet through his chest. He staggered, eyes wide in disbelief, then collapsed to the concrete floor. His rifle clattered away from his limp fingers.No sooner had she taken that shot than chaos erupted on her left. Two of Vespera’s men work
Chapter 426: 2 killed
Inside the warehouse, tension hung as thick as the cigarette smoke lingering in the air. The men, on edge from the failed phone call, sat in uneasy silence while their boss poured himself another stiff drink. Suddenly, one of the gang members—a tall, lanky fellow wearing a threadbare jacket—stood up, fidgeting with his belt buckle. “Boss,” he mumbled, trying not to meet the scarred man’s gaze, “I need to step out. Gotta—uh—ease myself.” The boss, halfway through knocking back his liquor, merely grunted. No one else spoke. They watched the lanky man slip past the makeshift barricade of crates and head for the side exit. The heavy metal door groaned in protest as he shouldered it open and stepped out. Outside, the wind carried the faint rustle of footsteps—just enough to prickle the senses. The lanky man squinted into the darkness, blinked, and felt his heart slam in his chest. Figures moved in the shadows—silent, intent, armed to the teeth. It didn’t take long for him to recognize
Chapter 425: Vespera Arrival At The base
An hour later, Vespera and her men pulled off the main road and into a desolate stretch of industrial wasteland far from the heart of town. The drive had been tense but uneventful; now, their headlights illuminated cracked asphalt and abandoned warehouses, all standing silent under the pale glow of a few flickering streetlights. The pavement was riddled with weeds poking through the cracks, and torn chain-link fences ran along the perimeter, giving the area a forlorn, almost post-apocalyptic feel.As they brought their vehicles to a stop near a rusted sign that was barely legible, the hum of the engines cut out, plunging the surroundings into an eerie hush. In the distance, the faint outline of the gang’s base rose against the horizon—a hulking, squat structure of corrugated metal and boarded-up windows. It was set back from the main road, hidden amid tangles of overgrown brush and twisted piles of scrap. An occasional burst of light from a flickering floodlight revealed hints of move
Chapter 424: Logan Is A Family
As Vespera moved towards the car, she turned back to address her team, her expression steely."Before we head out, clean up these bodies," she instructed, her voice firm. "Make sure there’s no trace left behind. I don’t want any sign of this incident here."One of the guards stepped forward, nodding but looking at the black van parked nearby. "And the vehicle, ma’am? What do we do with it?”Vespera smirked, a hint of dark amusement in her eyes. "We’ll handle that too. Have it rebranded, stripped of any identifiers. Once it’s ready, it’ll be delivered to the local orphanage as a donation. They could use a decent vehicle more than these fools ever could."The guard’s mouth curled into a knowing smile as he nodded. "Understood, ma’am. We’ll get it done."The team moved quickly, setting about their tasks with military precision. Two guards began gathering the bodies, making sure every detail was accounted for, while others turned their attention to wiping down the van and removing any wea
Chapter 423: Vespera Wipes All
Grimacing with agony, the man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, struggling to endure the searing pain that radiated from his wounded thigh. Each breath was a struggle. With a steely glint in her eyes, Vespera withdrew the gun from the man's lips and aimed it at his knee with chilling precision. Without a moment's hesitation, she pulled the trigger, the deafening boom of the gunshot reverberating through the air as a bullet tore through the man's knee, shattering bone and tissue with brutal force. The man's scream echoed through the night, his body wracked with agony as he collapsed to the ground, his shattered knee rendering him utterly helpless before Vespera's merciless interrogation. "Where's the address?" Vespera demanded once more, her voice cold. Gulping hard, the man's eyes darted nervously as he struggled to compose himself through the haze of pain and fear. Finally, with a shaky breath, he spoke in a voice barely above a whisper. "The address... it's..." he
