Chapter 62: Mastermind
The truck driver did not slow down even though the warning light had turned red.
Even more ridiculous, he even increased his speed.
Oliver's eyes became very cold when he finally remembered the intersection.
From the left side, he then saw a taxi that strangely suddenly stopped, like its handbrake was locked.
The driver could be seen clearly as he rolled down his window.
Because the car was stopped, he became very panicked.
And seeing the truck traveling at high speed towards him, he immediately turned deathly pale.
Unfortunately, there was no chance.
BANG!
The truck violently slammed into her small car, making the car seem to crumble under the pressure of the truck's tires.
Even after hitting the car, the truck didn't have any problems at all. It was able to continue across the road.
And the truck driver's expression looked very calm as he occasionally glanced back through the rearview mirror.
He didn't look guilty or uncomfortable, just like someone who had done his job.
With no police in pursuit, it was a very smooth ride.
After that, the video showed a different scene.
It was still in the truck, but in a different place, in front of a fancy restaurant in Vera City.
Yes, it was Vera, and that restaurant was the one Oliver had visited with Miya just before they went to the base.
A truck stopping there was naturally something disturbing, but the restaurant's security or waiter didn't mind.
This was because a man came approaching the truck with a sizable briefcase.
He was a middle-aged man, had neat hair and an appearance that could be said to be very authoritative.
The impression he gave was not flashy, but when you looked at him, you would realize that he was so powerful.
At all times, he showed such an aura.
When staring at him for a long time, Oliver felt he was quite familiar even though he was sure he was seeing him for the first time.
"That young man!"
He quickly realized why he felt the man was familiar. This was because his face was very similar to the face of the young man who claimed to be his cousin at the restaurant.
The driver, Raul, opened his car door as the middle-aged man arrived in front of his truck.
"Mr. Montclair, the task you gave me has been completed, I hope I can get paid soon," he said with a faint smile, looking relaxed even to the middle-aged man whose name was Alexander Montclair.
For Oliver, Montclair's word really surprised him.
This was because they were truly the elite in Europe, no they were the richest and most powerful. Even the royal families would rather be friends than enemies with them.
Alexander Montclair also smiled faintly. He replied, "Mr. Raul, you have already erased one stain in the Montclair blood. In addition to the gift, we also grant you the title of Knight of Montclair. This means you are free to use the services of any of our real estate businesses. Your medals and money are inside."
He handed the suitcase he was carrying to Raul.
When the latter had just picked it up, he immediately turned around and left, leaving Raul alone.
However, Raul seemed to have figured out his personality.
He didn't care, caring only about the suitcase.
The video ended there.
At this point, Oliver didn't need to think anymore to sum everything up.
He closed his eyes, trying to calm down.
Revenge was a must, yet he knew he couldn't be hasty.
This was because he didn't know where they were, and didn't have any information about them.
Maybe he needed to see Jackson again later to ask.
As of now, the man was still locked up in his room by one of his shadow troops.
"Mm..."
He saw that the internet network was normal, which meant that the electricity in Vera was on.
Because he still wanted to daydream, so he turned on the tv, something that changed his expression.
This was because the tv was showing the figure of Raphael standing in front of the corpse of the gorilla killed by Oliver.
He was surrounded by many reporters who were all pointing cameras at him.
"Mr. Raphael, can you tell us about your experience defeating the Ancient Forest Gorilla?"
Apparently, the monster was called the Ancient Forest Gorilla.
From the looks of it, this Raphael was a pretty popular guy.
Only, David really had no idea who he was.
Out of curiosity, he wrote his name in a search engine to find out who.
"Is this real?"
His name and face instantly appeared on the search engine which was why he was surprised.
When he started reading information about him, he became even more surprised.
As it turned out, he was actually the son of the mayor of Vera.
Since he rarely appeared, not many people knew him. Only those who were really fans of the mayor were familiar with him.
It was said that he was a humble individual.
"Uhmmm..." He cleared his throat when asked by reporters about his experience.
"It's something that's hard to tell, but I have to say that the fight surprised me a lot too," he said.
"Yeah, the point is, it gave me a lot of insight," he added.
"Mr. Raphael, people say you are very strong, is it true that the skill you showed during the fight was an SS Class Skill? How did you get it?" Another question was put to him.
Waiting for the answer to that question, all the reporters stared at him quite intensely.
They were clearly suspicious. It might still be understandable if he had an S Class Skill. However, how could he have an SS Class Skill?
This was rather absurd. Even if somehow his father became extremely corrupt, it was actually still impossible for him to have enough money to buy a single SS Class Skill.
To the surprise of the reporters, Raphael smiled faintly, seemingly effortlessly as he replied, "It's a stroke of luck that's hard to explain. To get that skill, I didn't pay anything. My constellation gave it to me for free. The reason is probably because we're so close that we don't have any contracts, just think of each other as friends."
