Chapter 94: Come
The red bird, Phoenix, landed on Oliver's shoulder, but his eyes looked at Isabel curiously, flickering.
The equally curious Isabel brought her face closer to his, even touching him.
Although somewhat wary, the Phoenix remained silent, aware that Isabel was his boss's friend.
He let her touch his body.
On the other hand, Oliver was thinking about how to take care of this bird while observing Isabel who kept stroking the bird's feathers.
Seeing that she seemed familiar and seemed to like it, he suddenly had an interesting idea.
"Isabel, are you interested in taking care of him?" he asked.
He could fight together with him but could not take care of him. Hence, he thought it was better to leave him to Isabel.
The latter could probably take good care of him.
"Are you serious?" Isabel was so surprised that she looked at him without blinking as she asked.
"This is the second time you've said it. I'm naturally always serious when I say something to you," Oliver replied with a wry smile.
It was unusual for Isabel to say that, let alone twice, probably because he had been giving her things too rarely.
The Little Phoenix was somewhat confused by his words.
At the same time, he grabbed his body with both hands and placed him on Isabel's thigh.
"From now on you will follow her. Don't worry too much, she is my lover, so serving her is the same as serving me. You must protect her if she is in danger," he told the Phoenix while Isabel pressed her lips together because in his words, he referred to her as his lover.
The good thing was that the Phoenix was very obedient to him and understood that this was a good thing.
He nodded right after he spoke without looking like he wanted to protest.
Isabel became more pleased so she caressed his body from head to tail.
Every time she touched him, Isabel found it hard to believe that it was this beautiful little bird that released such a great fire.
She thought that if she touched him too roughly, it might break his bones.
However, she knew that it was all nothing more than what it seemed.
The invisible power of the little bird could reduce her to ashes.
As they continued to stay in the park, it was already late afternoon.

Even around 16 o'clock, the sky looked very yellow, not only in the west where the sun was setting, but also in the south and north to the east.
What happens with nature is something that is hard to predict.
However, people are starting to think of these as ordinary natural phenomena because the world has become different.
'Is the Monster King not going to come out today?' Oliver wondered, hoping so because he couldn't keep waiting either.
"Oliver, are you going to continue here?" Isabel asked as he was lost in thought.
If she asked that, it meant she was getting tired of being in that park.
Maybe she would have been happy to stay by his side, but she definitely wanted them somewhere else.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that there was a Monster King lurking around.
No one knew about it for now except Oliver himself, which gave him a burden.
Although his level had risen quite high, his concern was that the Monster King was at a much higher level than him.
He could only hope that it was no more than level 20.
Phew!
He sighed before answering Isabel's question.
And suddenly, his cell phone rang again, signaling an incoming message.
Since it was definitely not a message from Isabel, he couldn't help but check it.
As it turned out, it was from Kim Hana. There was even a profile picture of the woman when the message appeared and Isabel saw it, making her knit her brows in jealousy.
Oliver wasn't sure when Kim Hana had put a profile picture on her cell phone number.
Of course, he still opened the message.
(Honey, the Wilson family is on their way to your aunt's house. They're bringing the mayor and his son.)
That was the content of the message.
However, instead of being astonished by the content of her message, Oliver was more astonished by the word she used to call him.
She actually used the word honey.
Instantly, he felt a very strong aura of jealousy from Isabel even though he didn't see her.
Surprisingly when he was looking at her, she was looking the other way.
'This is ridiculous, no wonder almost all countries prohibit polygamy,' he thought.
The rivalry between Kim Hana and Isabel seemed completely unavoidable.
Kim Hana called out to her with a word of affection, perhaps she expected that the message would also be read by Isabel.
All this was because he had a desire for polygamy.
Although it could be done by a man relying on charm and strength, it caused endless conflicts of the heart.
Before he could say anything, Isabel who was staring in the other direction looked back at him.
"If you want to go home now, I can take you in my car. It's at the military headquarters," she said.
"Okay!" Oliver didn't refuse because she wanted to take him home.
They quickly stood up, walking to leave the park, heading towards the military base. .net
However, Isabel, who was carrying Phoenix by holding it in her arms, seemed to be somewhat confused.
She suddenly said, "although I love this bird and want to take him everywhere, this doesn't seem like the kind of bird I can take anywhere."
The phoenix was somewhat confused by her words while Oliver didn't react much.
Of course, he had guessed that Isabel would ask about that.
Most people had seen the Phoenix.
Although the small version gave a different impression, people would still wonder what kind of bird it was because there was no such bird on earth that was completely fire-red in color.
"Actually, you don't have to think about it too much," Oliver said in response.
"It doesn't matter if other people see him. If anyone asks too many questions, just shut them up. If you think it will be too horrendous, you can ask the bird to leave for a while," he added.
There was no special solution to hide the Phoenix since he was already at his smallest size.
However, he didn't think it would be too much of a problem if Isabel showed the Phoenix.
Most people were afraid of being too curious about other people's possessions that showed they were strong.
If there were some who dared, then they needed to be taught a little lesson.
Basically, it's not too difficult.
Isabel looked thoughtful after hearing Oliver's answer.
In the end, she nodded lightly with a faint smile, understanding that it was his way of life that she needed to follow.
An indifferent and domineering way of life.
Not long after, they finally arrived in front of the military headquarters which was surprisingly large but which Oliver could not see from the park because there were too many trees blocking the view.
The building consisted of five floors, dark green in color.
However, there was a slight drawback. The courtyard was filled with water even though it did not reach the height of the car tires.
Although the water around did not pass through the walls, it seemed that the water underground still rose to the top a little.
Oliver wasn't sure where the soldiers were, but the base was in a fairly deserted state right now.
There weren't even any guards in front of the gate so Oliver and Isabel entered without passing through any producers.
Isabel walked straight to her car which was a rather old Toyota sedan.
This was the first time Oliver had seen her car.
She let him in while she got into the driver's seat.
Vrom!
The car started easily.
The transmission was manual, but Isabel seemed to be used to it.
She put it in gear and stepped on the gas pedal.
Soon the car was on the road.
Perhaps because of yesterday's traffic jam, fewer people were using cars today. The roads were quite empty so Isabel could drive faster.
She didn't ask about the road because she already knew the location of the complex from his aunt's house.
What she didn't know was the exact location after entering the complex.
Unexpectedly for Oliver, the security of the complex was very tight this afternoon. Every car that entered was checked first, unlike this morning where there were almost no guards.
Maybe the homeowners forced them to work because they were worried that the city would suddenly flood and people would try to force their way into the complex.
After all, it would definitely be the last place to sink.
Besides being surrounded by its own wall, it was also higher than the rest of the plains, completely designed for the convenience of the rich.
Isabel's car easily entered when Oliver showed his face through the window.
As soon as the car entered the complex, Oliver started giving instructions to Isabel.
For her first time entering this complex, she showed a look of endless amazement as she saw how luxurious the mansions she passed by were, finally realizing the difference in life between a high-ranking official and a successful businessman.
She was even more amazed when she saw his aunt's mansion which was more luxurious than most mansions.
Only, she knitted her brows after being amazed that right in front of the mansion's gate, there was the figure of Kim Hana standing casually, leaning against its fence.
