Chapter 45
Chapter 45
In a short period of time, Thomas had already saved Olivia three times in a row. He was practically a guardian angel sent by the heavens to her side, and she was worried about him, deeply afraid that something would happen to him. She didn’t want even the slightest bit of harm to come to him.
“I know. I’ll be careful.” Thomas nodded to reassure the lady.
Olivia smiled and watched Thomas walk to the door of the office.
“By the way, my birthday is in a few days. Don’t forget to celebrate it with me.” After considering it for an entire night, she decided to invite him to her party.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to invite a man out in more than twenty years. In the past, the people who attended her birthday party apart from her family were a few of her close female friends. However, Thomas was about to become the first outsider to appear at her birthday dinner.
She knew that her father would not say anything as Thomas had helped the Pearson Family before, and he would not jump to any conclusions either, but if her friends saw Thomas, there was no guarantee what kind of ideas they would come up with. Besides, if they asked her about her and Thomas, how would she answer?
At that thought, Olivia felt her cheeks burning, resembling a ripe apple.
“Are you alright? Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?” Thomas asked dubiously. This woman better not be sick!
“I-I’m fine… I might just be a little tired,” Olivia stammered before she waved a hand to indicate that he could leave.
“Whew!”
After seeing Thomas’ figure disappear, Olivia let out a long breath while her heart raced violently as she rubbed her warm cheeks.
How embarrassing. I can’t believe that I suddenly blushed. Aren’t I just afraid that my girlfriends might misunderstand Thomas as my boyfriend? Olivia, you can’t think too much! He only saved you and never expressed any affection for you. You’re a girl, so you have to be reserved!
Thomas walked out of the office with a puzzled face. He knew nothing about Olivia’s internal thoughts and muttered in a low voice, “Is she really okay?”
Meanwhile, in the Hind Residence, the two brothers, Jake and Blake, sat on the couch without saying a word, and there was an eerie silence in the villa.
Ding dong!
As the doorbell rang, Jake hurriedly got up and opened the door, only to see a man dressed in a fitted black suit and a black mask on his face, with large sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, so he could hardly see the man’s appearance. He hurriedly let the man in before the man sat down on the couch grandly and asked in an indifferent manner, “Go on, why did you contact me?”
Drake took a sip of tea and explained, “I’ve heard of you. I want a man dead, and I want to see his corpse within three days!”
“As long as you have the money, I can get the job done,” the man said with a smile. He is an assassin with wonderful skills, and he was a professional in getting rid of unwanted individuals. If not, he would not be ranked in the top five on the list of assassins. If he didn’t have any skills, he would not be a match for his ranking.
The Assassin Ranking was an authoritative ranking list dedicated to the ability of assassins, but of course, there were some individuals who were ranked in this list as non-professional assassins due to
their outstanding skills.
“This is his photo.” Blake handed over Thomas’ photo, and below it was a profile with some specific information and an introduction about Thomas, who had killed his most beloved nephew. He swore to take revenge and would not stop until he made Thomas accompany his nephew in death.
“40 million Droylers!” Blake immediately stated the price. After all, Thomas was someone who had knocked him out with one move, so forty million dollars for his head was not a loss at all.
However, the assassin remained silent and continued to flip through the documents in his hand.
“Pearson Group?” He mused. “He’s Olivia’s full-time chauffeur and the Hind Family target, so he is definitely not just anybody! Forty million isn’t enough!”
He only pondered for a moment without the slightest hint of fear on his face. Even if you are from the Pearson Group, those whom I have set my eyes on will only suffer!
“Tell me your price,” an unfazed Blake said. The Hind Family was not short of money, and 40 million was nothing to them. Moreover, as long as he could kill Thomas, he was willing to pay any amount of money.
“At least 80 million!”
“80 million? Why don’t you just ask for 80 billion?!” Jake yelled angrily. How can there be such an increase in price? The original price was already a lot, but now he’s doubled it. Isn’t he being too greedy? Is this how he does business?
The assassin shot him a cold glance. “In that case, you can ask someone else.”
He had done his research before coming, and he knew how powerful the Hind Family was. If a family with such a background hired himself to kill someone, it was clear that the target was not an ordinary person. Did they take him for a fool? 80 million was already a small amount. If they didn’t want to accept it, then he would leave.
“100 million!” Blake raised his head and he announced at the top of his lungs, “I’ll give you 100 million, as long as you can kill him within the time limit!”
From his actions, it was clear how much Blake loved Drake.
“Haha! Sure!” The assassin laughed out loud. “I like doing business with someone as chill as you. So three days later, I’ll personally deliver the target’s corpse here, but you have to pay me half of the deposit first.”
“No problem!” Blake cast a look at his brother, signaling him to prepare the money.
With a sigh, Jake could only get up and follow his instructions. This was 100 million Droylers they were talking about, which was already hefty, and even if their family was not poor, it was still a huge price to pay.
Drake, who passed away, was his son, so it was natural that he wanted to take revenge for his son, but the price was a huge hit for him. If word got out that he bought Thomas’ life for 100 million, it would definitely shock the masses. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The next morning, Thomas waited at the entrance of Olivia’s apartment on time, smoking a cigarette while waiting for her to come out. However, there was no trace of her at all. Though it was already 10.00PM, she still had not appeared.
This was unusual. Olivia had prioritized her work greatly, so no matter how busy she was on the day before, she would always arrive at the company on time. However, it had been half an hour since work
started, so why wasn’t she there yet?
Thomas took out his cell phone and called her, but there was no answer. Seeing that, he was unable to sit still any longer and rushed to her house.
