“Poof!”

 Oliver could not help but spat a mouthful of blood, even though he knew their marriage was just a show, he had done all his best to get Zelda’s love so hearing her ask for a divorce broke his heart.

Tears streamed down Oliver’s cheek. He turned to her and said, 

"Zelda, I know that not only have I not been a good husband and your life got destroyed because of me and I'm really sorry for that. You can call when the divorce papers are ready, so we can go and sign them.”

“I wish you all "happiness in life". That was Oliver’s last sentence before leaving the room."

Oliver’s last words hit Zelda hard, she did not understand why she was sad instead of being happy because Oliver was leaving her.

At the same time, Oliver walked alone on the street, he didn’t have any dollar on him for him to be able to book a room so the only option for him was for him to sleep under the bridge.

Just then, his phone rang. Seeing that it was a private number, Oliver felt puzzled as to who would call him on a private number. Few seconds after hesitating, he pressed the answer button.

"Hello, who's this?" He asked. 

"Young Master Storm!” A lady’s voice rang through the line, “am Alice from the Storm family am glad I’ve been able to reach you”, the lady said in a calm and respectful tone.

“Young master?” Oliver was confused hearing the lady address him such way.

“Sorry I think you called the wrong person, although my name is Storm am not a young master anywhere.” Oliver answered

Thinking Alice was fake, Oliver wanted to hung up on the call.

“Young master Storm, your mother asked me to call you how can it not be you?” Alice asked.

Hearing the word mother, Oliver felt as if he had been stroked by lighting, all he knew was that he was an orphan but Alice was saying his mother asked her to contact him.

“What you said isn’t a joke right?” Oliver asked nervously.

“Young master, how dare I make jokes in front of you? President Storm is busy as she’s in a meeting that was the reason why she couldn’t contact you herself.

Moreover, I’ve been asked to transfer an amount to you after this call, so I would ask for the young master’s permission to hung up and do as I’ve been ordered,” Alice said.

Oliver couldn’t believe his ear, the only best way to know if Alice was speaking the truth was to hung up and see if any money is transferred to him, so without wasting time he hanged up.

“Ding! Ding!” Oliver’s phone blew a message alarm few seconds after waiting.

Without wasting time, he clicked on the message and what he saw made his legs weak.

“What!” He screamed, “Ni.. nin…nine zeroes? I just received 50billion dollars.” Oliver felt his legs go numb as he stared at his phone screen with his eyes widely opened.

Immediately, he called his bank as he wanted to confirm if he really had 50billion in his account. 

“Hello Mr. Storm, we were about to give you a call. Our CEO is happy for you now being our companies V.I.P with 50billion dollars and due to that, your account has been credited with 10million dollars as a congratulations bonus.” The bank manager said.

“I…It…It’s real, 50billion dollars with a bonus of 10million dollars, its real” Oliver screamed on top of his voice and danced in happiness.

With that huge amount in his bank account, he was now far away from poor.

“Ha-ha I’ve got a rich family, am the youngest master of the Storm family, its now time to pay back to what poverty has done to me, Abigail Ellison, you’ll regret not wanting me as your son-in-law.

The only person Oliver was now eager to speak to was his mom so he dialled Alice’s contact. 

He figured he had no family after his grandfather's passing and also his granddad whom he lived never told him anything regarding his mom or family whenever he asked, so he expected he had none, but yet it appeared that he was from a rich family. 

"Alice, I need to address my mother, where could she be? " Oliver quickly asked when the call was associated with

  • 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

    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
