Even After Death Novel (Olivia)

Luckily, it wasn't the stench of a rotting corpse. It was just the smell of stale,
humid air and rotten food.

A woman who was extremely frail and unnaturally pale was locked down here
with all four of her limbs chained. She sat on the bed, hugging her knees with a
blank expression.

"Stacy!" Felix quickly wheeled himself next to the bed.

Even Olivia, who was a seasoned veteran, felt emotional when she saw the state
Stacy was in.

Neal was such a bastard. He ripped a couple apart, didn't cherish the woman he
snatched away, and even abused her so much.

It was clear that Stacy had been imprisoned in the basement for quite some time.
She was also in shock. She looked at the people who had just entered the room
blankly without any reactions.

Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes. She asked someone to get a towel to cover up
Stacy's nearly naked body.

Felix felt terrible. He didn't shy away from her. Instead, he hugged her tightly and
comforted her repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Stacy. I'm here now."

Olivia sent the two of them to the hospital. She sighed deeply as she exited the
hospital.

She used to feel bad for herself. But she understood that she wasn't the only one
who had a hard life.

Ethan tried to calm her nerves. "Don't worry, I won't let the Monroes off the hook."
"If Dad knew the Monroe family who he helped out ended up hurting so many
people, he would be so sad."

"Liv, you need to know that the Monroes won't be the only shady people in the
world. There will always be people lurking in the darkness. Everyone has their
own paths to walk."

"That's true. Let's go home."

Olivia cherished her current life even more after she witnessed what had
happened to Stacy.

Her special phone rang in the afternoon.

She had already notified the organization that she wouldn't be accepting any
more missions for some time after the failure of the last mission.

So, she was quite surprised when the phone rang. Even so, she still picked up.
"Hello?"

"Septem."

"I knew you were alive." Olivia had some people look into Undecim after the
incident. He did a very good job of hiding. There were no traces of him to be
found.

"I was just lucky. If my gut hadn't told me to throw away the ring, I would've been
blown to pieces."

Undecim's voice was still as nonchalant as before.

Olivia replied calmly, "Why the call?"

She didn't think they were on good enough terms that he would call her just to tell
her he was safe. "We might've failed the mission, but we're still the top-ranked in
the organization. The boss has invited some of the S-ranked and A-ranked
members to a gathering."

"Will the boss be present?”

"Why are you so anxious? Are you plotting against the boss?"

"I told you, I'm just curious.”

Olivia joined the Black Ravens to uncover the truth of what happened. The boss
had to know something.

The only problem was that the boss of the Black Ravens was too elusive. It had
been two years since Olivia joined the organization, but she didn't manage to get
any leads on the boss.

"Where is it going to be? And for how long?"

"The boss' private island. Three days. They're calling it a gathering, but I heard
some news that the boss might have a huge operation planned. That's why he's
gathering us for a meeting."

"I'm not interested," Olivia turned him down resolutely.

"Why? Haven't you always claimed to be on the side of justice? Have you lost
interest in protecting the world? It seems like the target of the operation is
someone very important.”

"Who is it?"

"How would I know? I'm not the boss. Get there before 4:00 pm tomorrow. Don't
be late. You'll be able to meet your hero soon."

Undecim hung up.

It was almost New Year's. Honestly, Olivia didn't want to leave her family at that
moment.

It was the first New Year's with her entire family present.

But she couldn't help but think about Undecim's words—an important person.
She thought about the multiple attempts on Mason's life. Would this operation be
related to him?
