Sister Evangeline felt silent for a small while. It is no longer a surprise for her to hear Oliver's response. This is the answer that she expected to get.
"I assume you wouldn't want to talk in a place like this"
"Mr. Olive, please follow me""Very well"***"I want them to work for me"They are now in the office of Sister Evangeline. Placed on the second floor of the establishment. In that place, you can see the whole courtyard and the roadway.
"Are you using these little kids as a material, a machine for your company? Whatever the reason is, doesn't it sound like you are buying me and these kids in exchange for your support? They have their own freedom. I don't want to raise them just to work. As a child, they must experience the happiness of being a kid. The happiness of youth. Your offer is something that would save not just me but also the life of th
"Oh ho, ho, look who's here. A hero acing so mighty... what a moron" Analyzing the situation, Oliver look at the man lying on the ground, he is full of scars and bruises all over his body "I will give you three seconds to go away and leave unscathed" the words that Oliver said, makes the six men left astonished. The one standing in the middle slightly take a step forward and mumbled. "What about we... give you... three seconds to kneel and beg for our mercy" Laughing villainously, they leave Oliver with no other choice. Clicking his finger, Oliver look at the surrounding. 'Thank goodness, no people are passing by. Maybe they chose this place too since it is not widely crowded as other places here. Just a very long brick wall with whoever knows what hiding behind' As soon as Herald saw what Oliver did, he went out of the car and immediately stand right before him.
Oliver didn't answer and just look at the children. "Out of whim?" "Maybe, there is still some luck left in me after all..." Herald just wipe his hand with a black handkerchief and wears his coat again. As if nothing happened. Just like that, he regains his natural composure. 'Will I take him?' "If you want a new life, I can help you. But be aware of one thing, once I find you useless, I can easily throw you and find a new one much worthy" The little children look at Oliver's eyes. They know right from the start that Oliver is not helping them out of pity. Older people will not have much sympathy towards the likes of them. With that, it is carved in their minds that they shall acquire skills to become useful. So that when the day comes, Oliver will not throw them away. So that they can prove their worth. "I will... Prove my worth"
"You mean... Ah right. Yes, it is now complete. Should I ask them to bring it to you?" Oliver slightly chuckled which makes his secretary, Kim, feel small amazement to see her boss laugh so freely. "Oh no, no, I just find it funny for you to ask that. It would take a whole day for them to settle it in here. I'll just go and look at that myself. It would save much time" "Ah, yes" 'I bet, something good happened to him. Boss is more lively than usual, it seems' Closing the file that Oliver is looking at, he locks the screen of his laptop and stands. The radiance of the sun passes through the glass window. It creates a beam of light touching Oliver's skin. He smiled. Kim left already, which makes him the only person inside his office. Staring at the huge window in front of him, he thought to himself. 'I wonder where that real Oliver is...'
"Wow... Sir Oliver didn't even make any shout... If it were me, I would freak out..." "Ben, if it were you, you will be gone dead already" "Dead? Why so fast?" "Tch, don't you ever forget that I am there when you lose your consciousness as you saw an artificial snake" "Mea, you are so mean... Mea means" "Will you just shut up? Be attentive and inform Dr. Ashtone if something bad happened" "Okay" Oliver can be seen calmly facing anything he encountered. After the earthquake, he fell into a waterfall with an unknown surface beneath it. After that, he was placed alone in a desert that soon become a large sea. "I wonder what is Sir Oliver's greatest fear" "Hey, you are Ben. Right?" "Yes Dr. Ashtone, I am Ben. What is the matter?" "How long has it been?" "About, 24 minutes?" "How long will it take?" "It was an hour game ro
"This is..." "Yes, this is my company" Noah looks at Oliver with great shock. He almost faint last night when he saw Oliver's hair color turned to its natural dye which resembles the black evening night sky. "You are rich??" He asked with disbelief. A phone screen suddenly appears in front of him. "He is filthy rich" It was Herald's doing. Boasting how rich Oliver is, the man being praised can't help but smile. Till now, he can't believe the fact that he became Oliver. The youngest CEO in their place. A man who is wealthy and handsome. He is not aware that Herald notices it. That he seems much livelier than he was before. 'I hope Oliver-nim will always be like this' "How many is hyung's money?" "Master- I mean.. oppa's money is... this big? Or... thissss big?!" Lem and Anna asked with much of euphoria. She even demonstrate how big
Herald's face shows no kind of emotion. Indeed, just like Harold, his father, he is good at hiding his feelings. A real ideal butler if one would say. "Why do we have... Two Herald?!" Noah asked with his eyes wide open. Kim is not that surprised as others for he heard some gossips about how Herald and his father Harold look so similar. A carbon copy, they are similar up to that point. There is no doubt that the figure of Harold will be the future figure of Herald and vice versa. "Yes? Old geezer?" Everyone was surprised that they saw two Herald at once but they are more surprised when they heard Herald talk. His words are short yet it caught the attention of everyone. A small faint chuckle escapes Harold's mouth. "Still Annoying as ever" He spoke out as he continue to walk towards the direction of the main door. A small silence filled the surrounding
"Herald, I am still your father no matter what you think of. Even if you turn the world upside down, it wouldn't change the fact that I am your father" Harold tried to stop his son. Herald turn his back at him and never tried to look back. "Father? Who? You mean you?" Herald shook his head. "I never had one" And that very moment, Harold was left standing alone outside the OliTECH company that Oliver owns. *** "What is this thing?" Noah curiously asked as he touch the chair whom Oliver used the day before. "A game" "Game?" "Yes. I asked you to have courage and I'll grant you the proper burial you are wishing for your wife" As soon as Noah heard what Oliver said, his face turned serious. As if the Noah you saw a while ago never exist. A fierce face, an eye who can deeply show you and make you feel as if you can see no fear hiding in
"Sir..." Been called Oliver. The man didn't look at his worker. He just stares at Noah who was not making a big move in his place. 'A visual of his wife being alive' Is the thing that is running in the young man's thoughts. Noah loves her wife more than anything else. For sure, it would be the greatest fear he has. The fact that his wife is still alive, breathing fine, smiling the way she used to be, giving him the reassuring gestures she always gave to him, for sure... Losing her for the second time is the greatest fear that Noah can ever have. "It is now stable..." Ben stated as he saw the statistics of the vitals dropping to their original stats. "Be careful. It won't be a good idea to idly wait for something bad to happen" Oliver reminded them. At first, it was him who ordered them to continue what they are doing even if Noah is creating a ruckus as if he was hav
