Chapter 70
Gunther looked more haggard, and his eyes showed a faint sadness. He chatted with Gabriel for a
while. Being in his old age, Gabriel dozed off in the middle of their conversation.
Gunther turned around and looked at his daughter. She was looking out of the window in a daze.
His daughter was obviously depressed these days, and it was particrly evident today.
He was worried about his daughter’s rtionship with Oliver before, but she had never openly
expressed her feelings to him. And after he had a frank conversation with Oliver, thetter decided to
leave definitively.
To be honest, Gunther had a good impression of Oliver. Although he had no status, he was really
skilled and did not have the nasty personality he imagined.
There were few young men like Oliver nowadays. What was more, Gabrielplimented on his
identification skills once. “Oliver’s identification skills are even better than those of the older
generation!”
Gabriel was one of the few people Gunther respected most in his life.
Even Gabriel thought highly of Oliver, so one could only imagine how capable the young man was.
Gunther now regretted that he had gone too far with Oliver.
Gabriel had expressed to Gunther that Oliver might y a pivotal role in determining the sess of
their journey.
It was because Oliver was the one who recognized those two maps. If it were not for him, neither he
nor Gabriel would recognize them.
However, Gunther was also helpless because they had only two-thirds of the map tokens, and thest
piece was still missing. However, Gunther had no time to wait. Even when he could not find thest
map token, he had no choice but to make the first move.
Nheless, Gunther and Gabriel did not expect that Oliver had actually seen the most important map
token. He also remembered it.
It was the Eye Sculpture.
Gunther had never seen his daughter as haggard and silent as she was now. He wondered if she really
liked Oliver. However, it did not look like it. Even if she really liked Oliver, there was nothing she could
do now.
Oliver brought a girl here today. Looking at her intimate rtionship with Oliver, he could tell that she
and Oliver were lovers.
The girl was as beautiful as his daughter Hailey.
The girl possessed elegance without being vulgar and beauty without being alluring. She exuded a
sense of seriousness and sincerity.
Gunther sighed in his heart as he thought, “Oliver is a lucky man.” Then, he asked Hailey, “Hailey, are
you feeling unwell?” Hailey turned around and shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Gunther stopped and sighed. “Hailey, when youe back from Enchanting Hollow of Mount
Rockenan this time, I think we should just… cancel your marriage with Julian. I won’t force you
anymore as long as you live a good life. I-I will be gone in the future. You have to take good care of
yourself!”
Hailey burst into tears and cried, “Dad, please don’t say that. You wille back with me as well. As
long as you are fine, I will listen to you from now on!”
Gunther sighed and looked out of the window. The white clouds were floating beneath them
“Can Ie back? Only fate can tell,” he murmured in his mind.
After a while, Gunther withdrew his gaze and looked at his daughter again. Hailey tilted her head,
casting a furtive nce behind her.
She was looking at Oliver and his beautiful girlfriend.
Seeing the loneliness reflected in her face and the hint of tears in her eyes, Gunther was suddenly
struck with a realization. He mused, “Hailey has feelings for Oliver! She likes him!”
Gunther suddenly felt regretful. He should not have been so cruel to Oliver before.
After a while, Gunther turned his head and coughed twice before saying, “Hailey…”
“What’s the matter, Dad?”
Gunther turned his head. Hailey had wiped away her tears, and her expression returned to normal.
Gunther gestured toward Oliver, who was seated in the economy ss behind them, and said, “Go and
bring him here. I want to have a private conversation with him.”
“Okay.” Hailey stood up and walked to Oliver.
Oliver was chatting with Sienna happily while holding her hand. He stopped when he saw Hailey
walking toward him.
“Oliver, my dad asked you to talk with him.”
Oliver hummed in response, let go of Sienna’s hand, and stood up.
Hailey pondered for a while and then sat down on Oliver’s seat. She looked at Sienna and said, “Hello,
I haven’t introduced myself yet. My name is Hailey.”.
“I’m Sienna.” Sienna also looked at her and generously introduced herself.
When the eyes of the two beautiful women met, a spark seemed to ignite between them.
Oliver went to the business ss section and sat in an empty seat.
Gunther cast a nce at the distant Hailey before turning his attention to Oliver, whose face was
exhibiting a mix of) indifference and calmness. He smiled wryly and asked, “Oliver, do you still resent
me?”
Oliver said lightly, “No.”
Gunther sighed. “I only have one daughter and have poured all my love and trust into her. Since Hailey
was young, I meticulously nned and arranged everything for her. When she entered kindergarten, I
even went as far as buying the entire kindergarten to ensure she wouldn’t be bullied by other children.
As Hailey moved on to elementary school, I enrolled her in a prestigious private institution where I held
thergest stake as an investor. Throughout her childhood and into her adulthood, I always feared that
she would face hardships or be mistreated, so I took it upon myself to orchestrate every aspect of her
life, even including her future marriage.”
Gunther paused before he continued, “But now, I am faced with a terminal illness, and my time is
running out. It has made me reflect on my actions, Oliver.”

When Gunther made that statement, his gaze fixed on Oliver with a mixture of hope and anticipation.
“Oliver, my daughter, Hailey, she has feelings for you!”
Oliver was stunned and shook his head. “No way. I-I always thought I wasn’t good enough for her.”
Gunther stared at Oliver and said in a low voice, “Oliver, don’t doubt what I say. If you promise to marry
Hailey, I am willing to give you half of my wealth. My worth exceeds 1 billion dors.”
Half of 1 billion dors would be 500-million dors.
Gunther’s words would indeed shock Oliver if it happened in the past. But now, he had made 120
million dors from a single deal. 500 million dors were not that much for him.
He could make that amount perhaps in just a few months at most.
Of course, the most important thing was that he already had Sienna.
Oliver didn’t think much about Gunther’s words and shook his head with conviction, replying promptly,
“Mr. Fox, I appreciate your offer, but I can’t ept it. I already have a girlfriend, and I’mmitted to
her. I assume I don’t need to introduce her to you again.”
Gunther was stunned for a moment. Oliver refused to take his offer of half of his wealth. He pondered
for a moment and considered whether offering him all the money would make a difference.
However, before he could voice his thoughts, Oliver preemptively responded, “Mr. Fox, for me, it’s no
longer about money. Love is what truly matters. I cannot trade my feelings for my girlfriend for any
amount of wealth. Hailey is not only my boss but also someone who has shown me kindness. If she
ever needs anything, I am willing to go to great lengths to support her, even if it means sacrificing my
life. However, this has nothing to do with romantic love.”
“This has nothing to do with romantic love,” Gunther repeated the words in his mind.
Gunther had never encountered someone who could resist the allure of such immense wealth. Oliver
was the first person to do so.
As he thought about his daughter’s forlorn and brokenhearted expression, he could not help but feel a
pang of distress.
