Chapter 351 Olivia's Best Friend Calls
Seeing Ollie's shameless behavior, a smirk crept onto James's face.
At the same time, he felt a hint of admiration.
Ollie, the spoiled brat of the Green family, was more interesting and perceptive than James had imagined. He had expected Ollie to be defiant to the end, but instead, Ollie was quite pragmatic.
Nathaniel also marveled at Ollie's cunning, admitting that he could never pull off such a stunt. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had his leg broken by James back then.
Ruby couldn't hold back and shouted, "You're a disgrace to the Green family!"
"Who cares about dignity when your life's on the line?"
Ollie seized the opportunity to speak to James, "Mr. Williams, I can really be your loyal dog, and a useful one at that."
"Think about it. Although you have Ruby managing the Glowing Oasis Mystic Alliance, no one is consolidating the Green family's power."
"Sure, you could wipe out the entire Green family, but that would mean losing their wealth and local connections."
"Plus, the Green family has done some favors for Ruby's father. If you kill them all, she'll be heartbroken."
"You need to consider Ruby's feelings if you want her to lead the Mystic Alliance."
"Ruby can't become the head of the Green family; she doesn't have the time to manage its affairs. So, you need someone else to help."
"If you support me as the head of the Green family, you'll gain their wealth and a new ally."
"Most importantly, the Glowing Oasis Mystic Alliance is a righteous organization, and Ruby is a noble figure who fights openly."
"But I can handle the dirty work."
"Mr. Williams, don't you think I have value?"
Ollie was desperately proving his worth, seeking a path to survival and a way to rise in power.
The situation in Glowing Oasis was too tense, and Ollie didn't want to confront Soren, so he decided to abandon Chris and choose James.
Mia and the others were once again surprised. Ollie was ruthless in his actions, but his analysis was spot on.
"Interesting." After hearing Ollie out, James chuckled and pulled out three silver needles. "Alright, I'll give you a chance."
"I'll support you as the head of the Green family, but you must be loyal."
James spoke softly, "Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death."
Ollie was overjoyed and clung to James's leg, shouting, "Thank you, Mr. Williams! Thank you!"
Taking advantage of Ollie's happiness, James inserted the three silver needles into his body, targeting the Hundred Meetings, Coccyx, and Zhangmen points.
Ollie's body trembled as a wave of pain flashed through him.
"I've placed a cruel restriction on you," James spoke calmly. "Do you know why I did this?"
Although James didn't think much of Ollie, he wouldn't let him roam free. Such opportunists only responded to threats.
Ollie smiled broadly. "You're my master. If you want to place restrictions on me, go ahead. You don't need to explain."
Seeing Ollie's flattery, Ruby and the others were a bit taken aback.
For the next half day, James worked with Ruby, Ollie, and the others to devise a "catch-all" plan, even bringing Francis in for support.
Chris, Milo, and Soren were added to their blacklist.
After the plan was set, Ruby handed over her shares in Wish Group to James, making him the decision-maker of the group.
Ollie couldn't transfer his assets immediately, but he did gift James a newly purchased limited edition Bugatti Veyron.
James initially refused, but after Ollie's tearful pleading, he reluctantly accepted the $30 million car.
Around 9 PM, Ruby and the others left the villa.
Watching Ollie's departing figure, James smiled.
The reason he didn't kill Ollie outright, aside from Ollie's stated value, was to keep a pawn to control Ruby.
Although James knew Ruby's character wouldn't lead her to betrayal, it was always better to be cautious, so he kept Ollie around.
One to act as the Glowing Oasis Mystic Alliance's agent, and the other as the puppet head of the Green family, supporting and balancing each other, allowing James to step back.
After handling a bunch of matters, James made himself some instant noodles.
At that moment, he missed Samantha. If she were here, he'd be enjoying a feast.
As James was halfway through his meal, his phone vibrated with a message from Kaida.
Kaida was asking for his location, ready to deliver $10 million.
James smiled but didn't respond immediately, continuing to eat his noodles. His phone rang again.
Thinking it was Kaida, James answered, but a cold female voice greeted him, "Are you James?"
It wasn't Kaida.
"Yes." James felt a bit curious, "Who's this?"
The voice replied indifferently, "I'm Calista Day, Olivia's friend."
"Olivia's friend?" James was instantly excited. "Is Olivia okay? Where is she? I want to see her."
Calista's tone remained cold, "Olivia is fine, but she can't contact the outside world."
"After seeing your message today, she asked me to call you."
She then asked, "Did you really come to Glowing Oasis?"
James nodded. "Yes, I arrived in Glowing Oasis this afternoon. If I don't hear from Olivia soon, I'll visit the Lee family tomorrow."
James had subdued Ruby to avoid wasting too much energy on the Mystic Alliance; he wanted to resolve the Lee family matter quickly.
"Who told you to come to Glowing Oasis?"
Upon hearing James's confirmation, Calista suddenly became agitated.
"Do you know how much pressure and trouble your presence in Glowing Oasis brings to Olivia?"
Calista sounded like she was accusing James of committing a grave offense by coming to Glowing Oasis.
"I had no choice; I couldn't reach her." James was calm. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be at ease."
"You're really persistent." Calista's tone turned sour. "I'll meet you tomorrow and convey Olivia's message."
James squinted slightly. "Can't she come out? Is she under house arrest or sick?"
If he weren't worried about causing trouble for Olivia, James would have stormed the Lee family already, instead of slowly forcing her out.
"Whatever it is, it's none of your business, and you can't do anything about it."
Calista was impatient. "Tomorrow at 7:30 AM, at the Lucky Hotel, third-floor restaurant."
"Be on time. I have other matters to attend to after meeting you."
Calista warned James, "If you're late, you'll face the consequences."
James calmly hung up the phone and then replied to Kaida's message.
