Chapter 54
“I learned it myself!” Oliver replied faintly, then turned around and left.
He really didn’t want to have anything to do with Gunther nor did he want to deal with him.
He just felt sorry for Hailey’s kindness toward him when he thought of that.
“Wait.”
Gunther suddenly stopped him and said after pondering. “Oliver… Are you interested in Rebel King Henry’s Seven-Star Treasure Map?”
“No.” Oliver simply answered, “If I were really interested, then I wouldn’t have shown you the secrets of those two items last time.”
Gunther was silent for a while and suddenly sighed. “Oliver, I know you’re a little prejudiced against me. The reason why I prevented Hailey from getting in touch with you is indeed because of Julian. I was afraid he would misunderstand. I just want to secure Hailey’s happiness while I’m still alive.”
Oliver was stunned and looked at Gunther in surprise. “What did he mean by that?” Oliver felt a strong sense of pessimism in his words.
Gunther smiled bitterly and said, “I have cancer, lungs cancer. It’s already in the final stage. The doctors said that I only have three months left.”
Oliver was very shocked, and his prejudice and hatred toward Gunther suddenly disappeared.
No matter how rich one was, one could not escape the fate of life and death.
An old man who was about to die of an incurable disease and was also loving and protective toward his daughter deserved to be respected.
Gunther added, “Oliver, Gabriel found some records about Henry’s Tristar Treasure, among which… was a record of Immortality. Anyone would think it was unreliable, but how many phenomena happened on Earth that could not be explained? I can’t stop death, but if there is a legend about this, then it means that there’s hope for me, and I want to fight for it. Oliver, you found the token for the maps. I think you’re an important key to this, whether it is your luck or technical acumen. Oliver…”
With that, Gunther looked at Oliver and said sincerely, “I want to find Henry’s Tristar Treasure, and I also want you to join my team. As for the reward, you can name a price.”
“He wanted to find the purely imaginary Tristar Treasure? He wanted to gain something as laughable as immortality?” Oliver thought.
Oliver was dumbfounded and shook his head. “Mr. Fox, I’m sorry. I’m not interested in that. I still need to take care of my family, and I don’t want to risk anything.”
After that, he turned around and left.
Gunther looked at Oliver’s back and was speechless.
To be honest, Oliver did not have a background and was far less powerful than Julian, but he was much more admirable than Julian in terms of personal ability and charm.
Instead of going home, Oliver drove to the company in Gerton Plaza.
As soon as he arrived at the store, Oliver found a group of workers assembling the shelves, ready to advertise.
While commanding at the side, Fabian hurriedly came forward to report when he saw Oliver. “Mr. Eastwood, the advertising company’s signboard is ready, “Oliveway Investment Corporation”. This billboard costs around 20 thousand dollars…”
The name “Oliveway Investment Corporation” was chosen by Oliver when he registered with the International Trade Administration. He chose it because it sounded like the name of a company that would exist in this country.
Oliver waved his hand, looked up to the side, and said, “We should spend on what is worth it, and if the job is done well, then I wouldn’t mind spending money. I hate when a job is not well done after I spent money on it.”
The advertising lightboards have been installed, and the project was almost completed. The lightboards were not fixed yet, but the design looked great and exuded class.
Several girls gathered around Yvonne. Yvonne glanced at Oliver and said, “Oli-Mr. Eastwood, did I not do my job well?”
Oliver’s heart skipped a beat. He then waved his hand and said, “You did a good job. Don’t worry.

get your
bonus.”
Yvonne couldn’t help but sigh when she saw that Oliver did not answer her question and avoided it.
This was obviously a one-sided love.
However, she also saw the beautiful policewoman yesterday, and that policewoman was so beautiful that Yvonne couldn’t even compare.
She thought, “Forget it. Since I can’t marry Mr. Eastwood, working for him is also not a bad idea. I’ll just work honestly since Mr. Eastwood pays well and gives us bonuses.”
When the work at the advertising company was done at noon, the shelves were disassembled and cleared before the electricity was turned on. The Oliveway Investment Corporation signboard shone brightly, looking high-end and elegant.
Oliver waved his hand and said. “Junia, order some food. The budget is 20 dollars per person. The company will reimburse the expenses according to this standard in the future. I’ll treat you all to a big meal tonight.”
“Thank you, Mr. Eastwood!” The girls couldn’t help but cheer.
If lunch was 20 dollars per day, it would add up to 400 dollars a month per person, which is not a small amount. No store owner would be so generous.
However, Fabian was not surprised. Oliver could earn tens of millions of dollars just from a rock he got from Manchernius. The whole company wouldn’t even spend that much a month compared to what he earned from rocks like that.
Everyone entered the store. When Oliver was about to enter, his phone rang. He answered it and sat on the stone stairs outside the store.
The caller ID was an unrecorded phone number, and a young woman’s voice came from the phone. “Hello, Mr. Eastwood,
this is Stella.”
“Stella?” Oliver was a little confused. He didn’t know anyone named Stella.
“You bought a car from me yesterday at Lux Auto Company. I’m Stella, the person who sold you the car.”
“Oh, I remember now!” Oliver instantly remembered.
Stella hurriedly said, “Mr. Eastwood, here’s the thing. I have a friend who’s getting married tomorrow and wants to find some luxury cars to borrow. Could you please lend me those cars that you bought yesterday?”
“Well…” Oliver hesitated for a moment and agreed. All right, you can send me the address and time. I’ll make an arrangement later.”
At this time, three people came over. When they saw Oliver sitting on the stone stairs, one of them shouted, “Isn’t that Oliver? What are you doing here?”
Oliver looked up and thought, “What a coincidence! They are Kenneth, Riley, and my cousin, William.”
It was William, Oliver’s cousin. He was carrying several shopping bags with Nike logos.
William had just turned 18 this year and had just finished his college entrance examination. He has had no respect for Oliver since childhood and has never addressed Oliver properly.
Seeing Oliver sitting on the stairs like that, Riley said contemptuously, “Don’t get too close, William. Be careful, he might have germs! You’ll be going to university soon. You’re different from some low-born.”
Kenneth looked at Oliver and pondered for a while before asking, “Oliver, your father… How is he?”
Riley said indifferently, “What else can he do? He can only wait for death with that disease. Don’t spread that disease to us!”
At this time, Fabian ran out and said to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, Wayne’s comrades have arrived at the train station. Shall we take… the Rolls-Royce to pick them up?”
“Go ahead.” Oliver took out the car key and threw it to him.
Fabian waved before asking Wayne to join him in the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
In Oliver’s presence, Kenneth, Riley, and William could not help but stare in shock at the intimidating Cullinan.
