The banks were after him for debts daily, and they even brought it to court. Oliver could barely hold out.

Yale scoffed and picked up a piece of decaying flesh to throw it on his face.

Oliver forced back the nausea and crawled up from the floor, gnashing his teeth. He had never thought of seeking support from Josiah nor being loyal to Matthew. He was just a pawn trying to survive in the cracks. He just wanted to profit a little through the company.

Now, however, he could not even guarantee his own survival. Oliver bit his lips. He stood no ground on both sides anyway, so he might as well spill the beans!

“Mr. Yale!” He said, “There’s a reason Josiah came to me…”

“Hah, reason?” Yale narrowed his eyes. “Could you actually have value to him?”

“Yes…” Oliver shook, looking at him. “Because I know where Mr. Z Hamerton is. He isn’t in Chaiseland. He’s in Jangasas!

“I’ve told Mr. Matthew before, but he didn’t care!”

Yale squinted.

“Zephyr Hamerton has been recuperating in Jangasas after the plane crash. For some reason, he took on Marcus’ identity and got a wife…”

“Is what you said true?” Yale grabbed his collar. “A word of a lie, and I’ll throw you into the cage right now!”

“It’s all true! All true!” Oliver’s legs were shaking. “I saw the emerald ring on the woman’s hand. The pattern on the ring is unique to the Hamertons. I wouldn’t see it wrong!”

“So Zephyr really got married?” Yale thought that it was good news from heaven.

“Hah… How dare he defy grandpa’s will and simply get married!?”

“This… might require more investigation,” Oliver said. “After all, he used Marcus’ identity!”

“This won’t be hard.” Yale stroked his chin in thought and instructed his men, “Contact Nicholas and ask him to come to Centrolis!”

“Mr. Yale!” Oliver scoffed, “You mean Nicholas Thompson?”

“Why? You know him?”

“He betrayed you long ago, and you treat him as your subordinate?”

Yale looked at him in disbelief.

Oliver gulped and said, “I’ve been in Jangasas, so I see everything clearly.

“Nicholas got acquainted with Zephyr, and both of them are in the same camp!”
