Chapter 93: Scared Because Know
When Oliver observed them more carefully, he realized that among them were the soldiers he had beaten up earlier this morning, judging from their not too heavy scars. Perhaps they had also performed treatment using healing skills.
Here, they were even more numerous.
Oliver wasn't surprised they were able to gather because they were led by a 1-Star General.
The general was a middle-aged man, rather short and fat with a pot belly.
However, his fat appearance could not be underestimated because despite being fat, he still showed that he had a lot of muscles.
Perhaps in recent years he had eaten without rules so his body had become like that, but in the past, he should have had a strong physique.
"Oliver, he's the young captain's father," Isabel said in a very low voice when she saw the general.
The general and his troops walked until they were about 3 meters away from them before stopping and staring at them.
As they stopped, Isabel quickly stood up.
"Uncle Joe, is there anything?" she asked the general.
Perhaps her father was an acquaintance of his, so she needed to greet him when he came.
"Isabel," the general said.
"Do you know him?" He asked as he pointed at Oliver with cold eyes.
This made Oliver wonder why the general was asking about him.
After all, they shouldn't be related to each other, unless he somehow suspected that he was his son's killer.
However, how was that possible. He shouldn't have any evidence pointing to him.
"He's my boyfriend," Isabel replied in a calm tone, but it was quite surprising to Oliver that she introduced him as her boyfriend.
Most of the military members were probably familiar with Isabel or had at least seen her.
Hearing that she had a boyfriend, even those who were rather old were a little sad.
This was due to their view that she had above-average beauty with a pleasant gentle personality.
However, looking at Oliver's appearance, they couldn't comment badly.
The latter had high allure. He was completely compatible with Isabel.
In terms of appearance, neither of them disappointed the other.
Joe knitted his brows for a while before saying, "I heard from Alex that he beat him and his friends."
Apparently, he had come because of that, which of course confused even Isabel herself.
"Uncle Joe, Alex has been making fun of us. He paid the price himself, daring to be arrogant with his weak strength," Isabel replied.
She did not expect that Alex would tell the general about their conflict that could be said to be a conflict between young people.
Of course, that he told him was one thing, why did he need to come?
Was Alex begging for his revenge to be avenged by her?
As far as Isabel knew, this general was quite familiar with Alex's father.
After hearing Isabel's answer that sounded like she was uncomfortable, the general, Joe, was a bit unsure of how to react.
It seemed that he had really come with a specific purpose, but doing so became a bit difficult because there was Isabel here, and that man turned out to be her boyfriend.
"Uncle Joe, has your son been found so that you have time to get involved in other people's affairs?" asked Isabel suddenly.
To Oliver, her words sounded alluring.
The problem was that she seemed very natural when she said it regardless of her knowledge of the truth.
It seemed that she really just wanted to be by his side so she thought of any way to keep distractions away from him.
When she talked about his son, Joe knitted his eyebrows.
Isabel continued to observe him, as if she wanted to see his thoughts.
Perhaps she wanted to make sure that he didn't have any particular suspicions of Oliver.
"Can you answer whose son you are?" The general then asked Oliver.
He evidently wanted to know his background, perhaps Alex hadn't told him everything in detail.
Given his appearance, it wasn't strange if he suspected he had a certain background.
"No one's son. My parents are dead," Oliver replied calmly.
In the presence of the general and the other soldiers, he acted nonchalant.
In fact, he was still sitting and occasionally stuffing fish meat into his mouth.
Only when they saw him again did the soldiers realize that he didn't seem to care about them. Your next read is at m v|l-e'm,p| y- r
How could he dare to remain seated when they were only three meters in front of him?
Some of the soldiers felt like scolding him, but since the one leading them this time was a general, so they had to restrain themselves, unable to act outside of their general's orders.
Since he said he had no parents, General Joe looked unconvinced.
In the end, he looked at Isabel first.
The latter glanced at Oliver, as if asking him for a signal as to whether she could say his background.
Actually Oliver had no desire to hide his background, he just didn't want to talk.
After all, saying he was someone's nephew was a bit strange. If Miya was his mother, it would be easier.
He signaled to Isabel that she could say it.
If other people talked about this, he wouldn't feel so strange.
"He's the nephew of Miya, the boss of the Elegantza Couture Group," Isabel said.
"What? Miya? And her nephew!" General Joe apparently almost jumped at the name, as if his back had been hit.
After that, he approached Oliver and Isabel in a hurry.
No, his goal was only Oliver.
He sat in front of him, even took his hand and tried to smile as best he could.
"Uhmmm..." He cleared his throat gently, justifying his position.
"I'm actually Elon's younger brother, you must know him. He's a friend of your aunt. My brother often talks about your aunt, we met earlier, he said your aunt is very strong," the man said, explaining why he was acting like that, which made Oliver knit his eyebrows.
Given that Elon knew his aunt's strength, it was possible that the man had guessed that she was the true figure of the Ice Knight.
If he speculated further, perhaps he also suspected that the Shadow Flame King was Miya's nephew.
The problem was that he probably said all of that to his younger brother.
If their relationship was very good, of course he would share information so that his younger brother wouldn't make trouble without knowing the cause.
Oliver withdrew his hand from his as it was uncomfortable to be touched by him.
"Go if you know what's good for you. Also, you'd better not talk anywhere," he said.
He didn't want to keep looking at him.
Since he is afraid of him, then he will just ask him to leave.
Fortunately the man had a good brain, not stupid like his son.
He nodded his head while continuing to smile.
Standing up, he waved his hand to his subordinates, asking them to follow him away.
With that, they left in confusion, continuing to look at each other while wondering who Oliver and Miya were that their general looked so frightened.
"I guess, your aunt is the Ice Knight!" Isabel suddenly said, smiling faintly.
With her brain, she could clearly connect things.
Oliver didn't argue with that.
He said, "yeah..."
"There seems to be a great favor done by your family, probably from you to your ancestors so that you can have something unimaginable when others think you'll fall," Isabel said hearing that, sighing while her eyes were like she was thinking about how he got it all.
Oliver only smiled when she said that.
"By the way, later, send me your system code. Maybe I can help you get stronger skills," he said.
He helped Kim Hana gain skills, Isabel who was more important in his heart naturally deserved the same, even better.
He thought that as long as he asked in a good way, there would be a constellation that sent the skill to Isabel.
"Are you serious?" The woman instantly looked excited.
Although she had never asked directly where he got his skills, she clearly knew he had access to very powerful skills, and it was possible without paying.
Of course, she was happy if she could obtain such powerful skills, especially if it was due to the help of the man she liked.
"You can wait, until tomorrow at the latest," Oliver replied with a faint smile.
Isabel nodded and then took out her cell phone, sending the system code to him.
Since they were still together, Oliver didn't try to check his phone directly.
After that, he suddenly whistled, startling Isabel.
And she became even more surprised when she saw a red bird descending rapidly from above, heading towards them.
Her eyes widened when she saw the bird.
"Phoenix," she said spontaneously.
Even though she already knew that the Phoenix had been tamed by Oliver, she was still surprised to see it in person.
After all, it wasn't just a Monster Boss, it was a bird that had never appeared in the history of the earth, existing only in mythology so people more often viewed it as a creature from fairy tales, not something real.
Today, the world had seen it, but from afar.
She saw it up close and realized how beautiful it was.
