“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 worse - stole it!"

Rebecca’s expression remained steady as she asked:

"Do you have any evidence to back up your claim?"

Trisha’s eyes narrowed, her voice dripping with disdain.

"I’m his ex-wife. I know everything about him. Oliver’s poor—he works at the wet market, for God’s sake! You really think someone like him could own a red card?"

Rebecca nodded, holding her composure.

" Miss Trisha, we will verify it ourselves."

Trisha wouldn’t back down. Her voice rose, almost desperate now.

“Why bother? I’m telling the truth! I’m Trisha Henverton, daughter of the wealthiest family in this town! You really think I’d lie about this?”

The onlookers began to murmur, tension building in the room.

"Just look at him," Trisha sneered. “That shirt’s so worn out it’s practically gray. How could he have a red card?”

Several customers nodded in agreement.

"Exactly! Why would a rich man work at the wet market?" one muttered.

“He should be put into the jail!” another chimed in.

Rebecca’s voice cut through the whispers, firm and unyielding.

“I know who you are, Miss Trisha, and I’m well aware of your family’s position in town, especially your father’s former VIP status with this bank.”

Rebecca stressed the word “father.”

Trisha’s father was a VIP client. But that title hadn’t passed to her family, much less to Trisha.

Trisha picked up on the hint, her eyes narrowing, and anger flared across her face.

Rebecca gave a small, controlled gesture.

"The bank president is on her way here now.

“I suggest you avoid causing any further disruptions, or we may have to escort you out."

A thick silence fell over the room.

The customers who had agreed with Trisha a moment ago suddenly looked away, unwilling to draw attention to themselves.

Rebecca turned back to Oliver with a respectful nod.

"I apologize for the disturbance, Sir. Please follow me to the VVIP room."

"Alright," Oliver replied, casting one last look at the crowd before following her inside.

Behind them, Trisha stood frozen, her face a mask of shock.

The reality of the situation dawned on her, and she lunged forward, trying to follow.

"Stop her," Rebecca ordered coolly.

Two guards quickly stepped in, blocking Trisha’s path and holding her back.

“Sorry, Miss Trisha, but you’re not allowed in the VVIP room,” one guard said politely.

“No way! Why can’t I go in, but he can?”

Trisha spat, her voice shrill with anger as she tried to pull free from their grip.

“I should be in that room, not that loser!”

She screamed; her face red with rage.

The guards tightened their hold as she struggled against them.

“Let me go, or I’ll have you both fired! Don’t you get it? I’m the richest person in this town!”

She shouted, her voice breaking with fury.

One guard leaned in and said, calm but firm,

“Miss Trisha, if you keep causing a scene, we’ll have to ban you from this bank.”

Trisha fell silent immediately.

She knew this was the only bank where she could access her father’s inheritance.

She glared at Oliver, her manicured nails digging into her palms.

To her surprise, Oliver glanced back at her. His eyes held a quiet disappointment.

“Bastard,” she hissed under her breath as the doors closed behind him.

Inside, Oliver shook off the thought of Trisha, though a faint sadness lingered.

She had always measured people by money and status.

But his attention shifted as he looked around the VVIP room.

It radiated wealth—polished wood panels, elegant artwork, and plush leather chairs that spoke of pure luxury.

“Please, have a seat, sir,” Rebecca said, gesturing to a luxurious leather chair.

Oliver sat down, and Rebecca took the seat across from him,

Her professional demeanor never breaking, though a flicker of curiosity sparked in her eyes.

She wanted to know more about this mysterious man holding the coveted red card.

"What business would you like to conduct today, Sir?"

Oliver hesitated: "I just want to withdraw some money."

"Of course, Sir," Rebecca smiled, handing him a sleek tablet. "Please enter your password."

That’s when Oliver froze.

His stomach twisting as he realized—

He didn’t know the password.

Taking a deep breath, he tried his birthday.

[Password Incorrect]

‘Damn,’ Oliver thought, his heart pounding.

Across the table, Rebecca’s polite smile wavered just slightly as her sharp eyes stayed focused on him.

‘Did I make an incorrect judgment? Is this man really the card’s owner, or did he somehow get his hands on it by other means?’

She wasn’t just curious anymore—she was suspicious.

Oliver furrowed his brow, deep in thought. There had to be something.

He stared at the screen for a few seconds.

Suddenly, a faint memory flickered.

A string of numbers flashed in his mind, though he couldn’t quite place where he had seen them before.

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.

    While on their ride back to the hospital, Oliver opened his phone.There were two messages from Ray and Samuel.[Alright, Commander. We’ll wait at the hospital.][If the enemies managed to infiltrate Nick’s house, which already has good security, it means they could ambush you when you’re alone. Be careful.]Oliver didn’t reply to them yet. Instead, he dialed his phone and called Seraphine.After a few rings, Seraphine answered the call. “Oliver.”“Sera.” Oliver smiled, feeling the warmth in his heart just by hearing Seraphine’s voice. “How are you and Anastasia?”They weren’t able to see each other that much because of work, but Oliver was blessed to have an understanding wife like her.“I’m fine. After sending Anastasia to school, I went to the Capital Hall,” Seraphine answered, her voice soft. “How about you?

    He added, “I may be dealing with other cards right now, but I will also do my best to help you.”Oliver wasn’t saying those words because Kevin asked him for a favor.But because he genuinely wanted to.“The company is just a start-up, but it was partnered with Argus Industries, which I didn’t know was involved in illegal transactions,” Kevin stated.After Dominic’s death circulated all over different broadcasting channels, the news about Argus Industries being connected to Zayne Greensmith, who was now imprisoned for his wrongdoings, was known to everyone as well.But that information was something Oliver didn’t expect.‘The warehouses and the different chemicals being experimented with there… Not only was the money used on them taken from the illegal transactions, but also from exploiting money from others?’“At first, I thought that the money they were taking from us was going to Argus Industries, but it wasn’t…” Kevin muttered, shaking his head. “It was in another high-ranking or

    “I could have donated it to some charities I’m supporting, but most of my money now goes to them,” Kevin added.Oliver’s brows furrowed, pondering deeply.“I’m sure you have your reasons for why you couldn’t stop,” Oliver muttered, now caressing his chin. “What did they say will happen if you stop giving them money?”“They will… Kill my son.”Those words felt like a bomb dropped on the ground.“At first, I thought it was just a bluff. So, I tried ignoring them and stopped investing in their fraudulent company already,” Kevin added. “But I didn’t expect that they were more powerful than I expected.”Feeling intrigued, Oliver raised an eyebrow, asking, “How did you say so?”“They have massive connections in Colossia and even in international countries… Even in some places not even the rich could connect with,” Kevin answered. “I guess it was because of their dark nature. They would scam someone’s money, take it as if it were theirs, and use it for something. Because I believe I’m not

    While waiting for the man to tell Oliver everything, he quickly typed something onto his phone.It was his message to Ray.[I’ll be late. Something came up.]After hitting the send button, Oliver placed his phone down, unaware that what he’d hear next would change the course of his day.Or possibly his life.“So, what is it?” Oliver asked.The man leaned forward, narrowing their distance, and started to speak.“You know, I’m an investor in different companies…” he muttered, his voice serious. “I want to try investing money in the government, but they’re so strict. They have so many rules…”As the man said those words, he was also typing on his phone.

    For Oliver, those people were more horrible than anyone else.“But let’s give this back to the owner first,” Oliver muttered, now going inside the driver’s seat of the car.The owner had contact information and the address on the car, so Oliver was planning to bring the car there.Approximately thirty minutes later, Oliver was already in the Capital, almost near the driver’s house.Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Ray.“I’m still driving—”“Commander!” Ray exclaimed, his voice laced with panic. “Our hideout was compromised! All of our files were lost!”Upon hearing those words, Oliver immediately stepped on the brakes.Fortunately, there were no other cars behind him. Because if there had been, the car would have probably hit him.“What do you mean, ‘lost’?” Oliver asked, his voice laced with disbelief. “It was on Nick’s computer.”“It should be…” Nick answered, hearing Oliver’s statement as the call was on a loudspeaker. “But when I checked, everything was gone.
