Chapter 97
Chapter 97
Louis felt very awkward. Gunther had brought six bodyguards, who were fully armed and equipped with high-tech equipment. However, only he and Yoseph were left at this time.
Besides, they were not as strong as Wayne and Simon. Wayne was a tough character, but the quiet Simon was even tougher.
Wayne and Simon only cared about Oliver and Sienna.
Gunther didn’t care about this anymore. There was no turning back for him, as he was dying. He might not even be able to get to Enchanting Fog if he were to go back.
However, he didn’t know what was lying ahead.
Everyone was as confused as they were in Enchanting Fog. No one could figure out what was ahead of them and their destination.
Gunther didn’t think about if the manpower at this time was enough to protect him and Hailey anymore. He thought, “All my money is nothing compared to Oliver. In terms of capability and loyalty, Louis and the others are no match for the two bodyguards he brought.”
After resting for a while, Gunther finally stopped coughing out blood. Hailey gave him the pills and hot water with tears in her eyes.
Gunther knew the pills were useless but couldn’t bear to see Hailey’s sad expression. Hence, he forced a smile and took them.
This time, he didn’t spit out the pills again. After a while, Gunther waved to Oliver and said, “Oliver, come here. I want to talk to you alone.”
He wanted to talk with Oliver alone, so the others moved away. Hailey also walked silently to the other side.
Oliver walked to Gunther and sat down without saying a word.
Gunther sighed and said in a low voice, “Oliver, my thoughts about you used to be somewhat extreme. Please forgive me!”
Oliver shook his head and said faintly, “It didn’t bother me.”
Indeed, he would not have anything to do with Gunther in the future, and he didn’t depend on him for a living. It didn’t matter to him whether Gunther looked down upon him or not.
Gunther said sadly, “Oliver, I didn’t want to say this when I saw you and your girlfriend having such a good relationship. However, I’m on the verge of death now. After thinking about it, you are the only one capable of doing it, so I can only come to you for a favor.”
Oliver didn’t agree. Instead, he stared at him and asked, “Mr. Fox, just tell me what it is.”
Gunther glanced at Hailey and said, “The only thing I can’t let go of is my daughter. I want to entrust my daughter to you!”
Oliver was stunned for a moment and shook his head after pondering for a while. “Mr. Fox, I don’t know what you mean by that. If you are entrusting Hailey’s future to me for life, I am sorry to tell you that I can’t agree to it because I have Sienna now. I cannot let her down!”
His words were straightforward and simple.
Gunther sighed again. “It’s all my fault… Oliver, since you don’t feel the same, I can’t possibly entrust her to you. It’s a pity… Hailey is such a good girl…”
Oliver nodded and admitted without hesitation, “Yes, she is a good girl!”
Gunther said sadly, “Oliver, I won’t force you to marry Hailey. However, I entrust her safety to you. Can you promise that she will safely be taken out of this place?”
Oliver nodded without even hesitation. “Don’t worry about this. I won’t watch her fall into danger as long as I live. She is my beneficiary. If I need to exchange my life for her safety, I will not even hesitate.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Gunther was stunned. He never expected Oliver to be so determined.
After a while, he said excitedly, “Well then, Oliver. I’ll write a will and entrust you with managing my 2 billion dollars. I don’t need you to take care of Hailey for her whole life, but I ask you to let her have nothing to worry about all her life. She is not
enthusiastic about business and has no talent for doing business, so I entrust you with the money that can support her whole life. I will entrust you with managing and using my asset of 2 billion dollars.”
Oliver was also stunned. He shook his head and said, “Mr. Fox, I can’t agree to your request. Give your property to your daughter. I have no time or energy to take care of it because I am a careless person and have no business mind. However, if Hailey faces any trouble in her life in the future, I will definitely help her.”
Seeing that Oliver still refused his request, Gunther was disappointed.
However, he liked Oliver even more. Nobody would give up on getting 2 billion dollars.
Even a fool wouldn’t give up on the money. However, Oliver did.
The reasons behind Gunther’s trust in Oliver could be attributed to his character and his exceptional ability to make money.
Gunther knew Oliver’s ability to make money, as he had good skills. He could make enough to support his daily life.
He initially thought if he entrusted all his wealth to Oliver, then Oliver must always get along with his daughter. Hailey was so excellent, and her appearance was also stunning. As long as Oliver fell in love with her after some time of getting along, he did not need to worry.
With a man like Oliver taking care of Hailey, Gunther would not worry about dying. Even if Oliver would not abandon Sienna, it didn’t matter. He didn’t care about the title. What mattered most was that Oliver could love his daughter wholeheartedly.
On the way, he had seen through it. Even though Hailey didn’t say a word, she cared about Oliver a lot.
Gunther could see clearly that Hailey had a strong personality. Seeing the love between Oliver and Sienna, she wouldn’t say anything, even if she was jealous. Hence, she also wanted to die with Gunther.
Oliver didn’t worry too much about what Gunther said. He just stared at the ground and pondered for a while.
He thought, “If he couldn’t find Tristar Treasure, how could Sienna get the cure for her Blood Malediction?”
As for his Blood Malediction, he didn’t even think about it. He felt that he might not be able to return home.
Wayne came over and whispered to him, “Mr. Eastwood, there is less and less firewood left. How about… Sim and I go. outside to cut down some trees and drag them here.”
There were many Nocturna Herons outside. Even if he and Simon had good fighting skills, once the Nocturna Herons besieged them, they would still end up dying.
Howeyer, they wouldn’t be able to survive once the firewood finished burning. It would be better for them to take the risk and fight.
Oliver nodded, looked up, and thought for a while before realizing it. Then, he turned to look at Sienna again.
Sienna was sitting with Eye Sculpture in her hand, observing it carefully.
Oliver was shocked, but then he was relieved. She had already gotten Blood Malediction in her body. It didn’t matter if she touched Eye Sculpture at this time.
However, his mind suddenly flashed. He remembered that the Great Wolf was scared away by Eye Sculpture. “Would the Nocturna Herón be afraid of it too?” he wondered.
