Blood Nemesis-Chapter 173: About to be rich

Oliver had to give it to the Thunder Emperor. Contrary to everything he thought, the Thunder Emperor was a great schemer. While Oliver prioritises growth and eliminating his foes, Thunder Emperor was using the chance to pave the way for disrupting the current power structure.

’And he even schemed against me.’

’From today onwards, there is no real way to extricate myself from the influence of the Thunder Emperor. It doesn’t matter what I feel about it anymore. Everyone will believe that I am his disciple.’ Oliver thought.

’What is his angle here?’

Oliver was supposed to go to the Hero Academy and sniff out the demons within. By announcing him as the only disciple, the difficulty of completing the mission increased by a hundred times.

In fact, he became a living target that demons would shoot at.

*Sigh*

’I took a loss this time.’

From his perspective, the loss of being the disciple outweighed the gain.

It was a suboptimal, unpredictable outcome.

’Ah...who cares. It doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. The moment I become an S ranker, I will flip the table.’ He thought and leaned back onto his chair, enjoying the show.

In his past life, due to the limitation of his ability, he was stuck at A rank strength. In fact, measuring his blood ability in rank in itself was kind of stupid. He was not even lethal enough to be called an A-ranker.

But he shone in situations that required pure endurance and durability. His healing ability was one of a kind that didn’t rely on mana.

So, he didn’t have to worry about someone stealing his powers. Hence, he was practically unkillable.

This allowed him to use weird strategies to eliminate those who are stronger than he is.

For example, his stomach bomb strategy was one of them.

However, now, he had a way to use mana. And there existed a hope that his body would adjust to use mana perfectly in the future, while also being able to absorb and store it in his body.

Therefore, he believed he could reach the barrier of S-rank. At that point, he wouldn’t have to fear anyone on planet Earth. And nothing could stop him from doing what he wanted.

’There was a limit to what a human can control.’

’If the future is dim, I’m going to brighten it.’

’There was no point in worrying about spilt milk.’

He thought and swiped up the phone in his hand. He used the camera he just launched to take some photos of the historic moment.

*Click*

*Click*

The shutter sound woke everyone from their trance.

Oliver nodded, satisfied to see the constipated expression on Park Sanghyun’s face on the phone’s display, and put it away.

Meanwhile, Park Sanghyun’s palms clenched into a fist as he nervously sat in front of the Thunder Emperor. He knew he had messed up big time by trying to show off.

He looked down at the floor and avoided meeting the gaze of everyone.

"Park Sanghyun, do you have any objection?"

The Thunder Emperor’s voice rang inside the conference room. The chilling aura he exuded made Park Sanghyun shrink back. The confidence he displayed earlier was slowly waning.

Finally, thinking for a while, Park Sanghyun stood up abruptly. Biting his lips in frustration, he gave one last look to everyone before walking out of the conference room.

The two lackeys he brought followed him and also left the room.

Immediately, the tension inside defused.

From that point onwards, the contract signing process progressed as intended.

Just like he had said, the Thunder Emperor sent the extra documents to the Generals and Lieutenant Generals to sign.

In a few weeks, the first payment of a hundred million creds would be transferred into the WorldNet’s bank account.

Oliver was about to be rich.

He smiled gleefully.

Later that day.

Oliver sat near an artificial pond, eating ice cream.

The little koi fish he had saved was swimming in the pond.

The injuries it once had seemed to have disappeared. And it returned to its normal self.

This time, the little koi didn’t use its camouflage and swam, not caring about Oliver’s presence.

’Void Temple.’

’Void Weaver.’

’Key.’

Oliver remembered what the demon had said.

There seem to be many secrets behind the origin of the little koi.

*Bites*

Oliver bit into the bone-chillingly cold ice cream cone.

*Crunch*

*Crunch*

He chewed the crispy outer layer along with the sweet and cold inner core. The strawberry-flavoured ice cream flooded into his mouth.

"Hm...7.1 out of 10. Not bad for something I can buy at a military camp."

He rated the ice cream, chewed the rest and wiped his hands clean before throwing away the tissue paper he had in his hand.

Then he stood up and walked towards the edge of the pond.

The little koi really didn’t need water to survive. It was capable of flying and breathing air, just fine.

Crouching near, he tapped the water.

The little koi sensed it and swam towards him without a care in the world.

Oliver spread his palm.

The fish circles around it and flew into his palm.

’Look at this bastard with no survival instincts. Helping once is all it took to tame it.’

"What if I were a bad guy? You wouldn’t know how you died." He said and lifted the little koi up.

The underbelly of the fish and the tail where the wound was seemed to be completely healed. He observed the rest of its body and nodded.

"Great. The dragon meat worked."

For the last few hours, after waking up from its slumber, little koi consumed a lot of dragon meat. The vital essence and mana from meat were enough to fix its tiny body.

"Your recovery ability is better than most."

Oliver tapped the tiny head of the little koi.

It rolled on his palm cutely and tried to cover its forehead with its fins.

Oliver brought it towards a fish bowl he was carrying around.

It didn’t fear Oliver anymore and didn’t resist knowing Oliver meant no harm.

Once he dropped the little koi into the fish bowl, he picked it up and walked back to the military camp.
