Chapter 235: News
Upon having that realization, Oliver gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.This time, he had a promise to himself.“I won’t let history repeat itself, and I make sure to protect all my loved ones,” he muttered, his voice laced with determination. “I will do that… no matter what.”*****A few hours later, Oliver arrived at the Capital.He didn’t tell Legion V about it.Seraphine, on the other hand, knew that he was coming back, but didn’t exactly know when.“Mr. Hunt?” someone called him as soon as he walked onto the parking lot. “I’m your designated driver for today. Let me take you to your destination.”Oliver nodded in response.Then, he placed his luggage on the back and sat in the backseat afterward.“All okay now, Sir?” the driver asked, turning on the car’s engine.“Yeah,” he replied.A smile tugged at the driver’s lips as he stepped onto the pedal.The ride was silent as the driver focused on his task, while Oliver was scrolling on his phone.He was scrolling through the ar
Chapter 234: Hidden Message
With his brows furrowing, Oliver asked, “What do you mean?”“After we went there, I felt like there was a hidden strength traveling through my veins,” Ryan explained. “Not in a superpower way, but just… stronger than before.”“And I know it was strange to hear, but I felt that when I made contact with you,” he added, his brows furrowing. “I wonder if I will feel the same way about Ray.”“Why?”“Because he’s also in the dark forest that night,” Ryan answered.The tip of Oliver’s brows pressed together as he remained silent, pondering deeply.‘I’ve been with Ray for a while due to our missions, but I don’t feel anything about him,’ Oliver thought. ‘I don’t feel any strength for Ryan, either. I just sensed it.’Suddenly, he had a realization.‘Could it be because… of the necklace?’‘And the energy surrounding it was stronger than the one in the dark forest?’“I knew it. Maybe this is just nonsense,” Ryan muttered, snapping Oliver back to his senses. “Forget what I said. Maybe I just need

“But just in case you need help with hacking, just let me know,” Ryan added, his voice low and sincere.“I will.” Oliver nodded, reassuring him. However, what Oliver did next shocked Ryan.He poured whiskey into his glass and drank it in a few gulps.As if it wasn’t enough, he poured another shot, drinking it as if it were only water.“Oliver,” Ryan called, his voice now laced with worry. “Is something wrong? You know that I can help—”“No,” Oliver interrupted, not letting Ryan finish his sentence. “I mean, I can handle this one. I need more help on what happened to the Umbrella Bank.”It was true, but at the same time, Oliver couldn’t help but feel frustrated.Ryan could give him all the answers he needed about that number, yet he couldn’t ask.The only thing he could do was to feel the frustration and disappointment creeping onto him.“Alright,” Ryan said, seeing that Oliver was doing his best to shift the conversation.And he realized there could be a reason for that, so he decide
Chapter 232: The Real Receiver
“Probably a bluff,” Ryan replied with a shrug.But Oliver shook his head. “No. It was true.”Ryan’s eyes widened, unable to believe what he had just heard.“The Umbrella Bank wasn’t able to protect your account?”“They weren’t capable of doing it. No one does,” Oliver admitted, not to destroy the bank’s reputation, but to inform Ryan on how strong their enemy was.He added, “The hacker, whom I believe Richard was working for, had a top-tier level in his hacking skills.”That sentence caught Ryan’s attention. “How did you say so?”“James, one of my new members, tried to hack the number that was used to call me, but it was almost nonexistent,” Oliver informed him. “When he tried to brute-force it, the system almost crashed.”“Maybe it was because the system was outdated,” Ryan said, then raised both his hands afterward. “No offense, though. I just wanted to help.”He took his phone and opened his notes app. “If you can tell me the number, then I could send it to my group of hackers and
Chapter 231: Sudden Visit
“Rumor?” one of the women asked, raising an eyebrow. “Are you saying you didn’t buy their company—”“I’m not talking to you,” Oliver interrupted coldly, not even sparing the woman a glance. “I’m talking to her.”He pointed at the woman who told her other companions about Oliver’s acquisition of the companies.The woman’s eyes and mouth widened, looking at Oliver with shock and fury.“How rude!” she exclaimed.“I am, but you started it,” Oliver answered in a cold tone and without hesitation. “You’re acting like you’re plainly asking, but the real thing is you’re demanding.”“W-What?” Her eyes blinked in surprise.She was about to talk back to Oliver, but to her shock, Oliver’s attention wasn’t on her now.Rather, it was on the woman who made the statement.“I don’t mean any harm, not to any of you,” Oliver said, his voice calm and reassuring.His gaze moved to the other companions, then back to her.“I just want to know where the rumor came from.”“U-Uhm…” the woman trailed off, not kn
Chapter 230: One Way
His boss ended the call.Dominic’s grip on the phone tightened, fighting the urge to throw it on the wall.He even told Denver arrogantly that he will be removed from the position, knowing how close his connection was to the boss.It felt like a punch to his gut.But he could still turn things around.Dominic dialed Denver’s number again, and the latter answered in just a few rings.“Sir,” Denver answered in a low tone, edged with nervousness.“The boss decided to give you a second chance,” Dominic said on the other line, clicking his tongue. “He wanted you to work for me at Argus Industries.”The last sentence was a lie. Dominic was sure that his boss didn’t mean it that way.However, this is a way for him to save his pride and to keep Denver under his control.“Argus Industries?” Denver asked, his eyes widening in shock. “In the Capital?”“Yes,” Dominic answered. “I will take care of your requirements. Go here as soon as you can.”“O-Okay. I will fix my things right now, Sir!”The h
