Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 296 295: Meeting Again

Inside a room in a fairly large building in the inner area of the city of sin, a man wearing an expensive looking red suit had a deep frown as he looked at the papers laying before him on his desk.

He took in a deep puff of the Cuban cigar in his hand, then he exhaled and released a sigh as he slumped into his chair.

"Profits from the sales of Neon have gone downhill."

"Although we tried to reduce quantity produced, it greatly affected the customers and we had a backlash because of it."

"More people than we ever expected were reliant on Neon and even when we tried to increase the price, Neon still got sold out quickly."

The man in red suit took in another puff while looking at the ceiling with tired eyes.

"I'll have to stop selling Neon very soon."

The instant those words left the man's lips, the wooden door of his office flung to the wall at a tremendous speed.

BANG!

The wooden door broke apart and two individuals entered the room.

Click.

A click resounded in the room, then a cold voice followed.

"Who are you guys?"

The man in the red suit questioned with a chilling tone as he held a gun at the two intruders while standing.

Two seconds later, his eyes widened.

"Didn't I tell you not to point a gun at me again Oscar?"

"Or do you want another manicure? I think your hands need one."

An emotionless voice resounded in the ears of the man in red suit and the man trembled in fear and panic.

"I'm sorry sir. I didn't know you were the one."

Oscar quickly dropped his gun as he gazed at one of the individuals who was one of the sources of his nightmares.

'So he's alive.'

Oscar thought as he gazed at the young man who possessed pure white hair, extremely black eyes and a face that was inhumanely handsome.

Anon.

Oscar gulped softly when he realized that the current aura of Anon was vastly superior to his previous aura during their first meeting.

'I thought I might have a chance of defeating him. But…'

Oscar made no complaint as he watched Anon walk over to his chair and seating on it like it was his from the beginning.

Oscar moved to the seat at the other side of the table while giving a subtle glance to the second individual who was wearing a robe and a plain white mask.

'Who's that? From the skinny and short stature, that should be a kid?'

A confused glint flashed in the eyes of Oscar as he sat opposite his boss, Anon.

Anon glanced at Oscar, then his gaze shifted to the papers on the table.

Seconds went by in silence and Oscar was beginning to get uncomfortable when Anon said no words.

"I wasn't expecting you Sir Anon. You could have sent a notice and I'd have welcomed you much better than this."

Oscar said, trying to lighten up the mood.

Anon glanced at him then continued looking at the papers.

"A notice is unnecessary. I can come whenever I wish."

Anon replied indifferently and Oscar's lips twitched.

'I'd prefer it if you don't break down my door every time. It's not exactly cheap.'

Although, Oscar wished to say those words, he didn't have the courage to do so.

He didn't want to go through unnecessary pain again.

"Anyway, I see that you've not been slacking off. You've gotten stronger."

Anon said as he took notice of Oscar's increase in strength.

Oscar was previously a tier 1. But now, he was surprisingly a tier 3!

Corey was truly surprised when he noticed this, but not shocked.

Oscar controlled a somewhat large force and he could find ways to easily increase his strength.

Although, Oscar was a tier 3, he was weaker than the leader of the Dread Vipers.

But his stats were surprisingly higher than the stats of an average tier 3 who just advanced.

'I guess Neon played a role in that.'

Anon thought with slight intrigue.

"Thank you sir."

Oscar smiled, pleased that Anon took notice of his increase in strength.

Anon made a 'hmm' sound, and he folded his arms.

He repeatedly tapped his large biceps for a few seconds, then he spoke:

"I came here to ask about Neon."

"How has business been?"

"What is the status of the Terror Queen and her organization?"

"Has there been any major developments or news?"

Anon asked the most important questions on his mind, and Oscar without wasting time brought out several papers from his inventory.

He handed the papers over to Anon who raised his brows in curiosity as he grabbed them.

"I had a feeling you might come back, so I've been compiling important information you would need and most likely be interested in."

Oscar said and Anon looked at him with surprise on his face.

"Thanks."

Anon said, then he grabbed the papers and started opening them one by one.

Anon used a single minute to read and understand every information that was in the paper, and when he was done, he closed his eyes.

The papers mainly contained information on the Neon business and the Terror Queen.

Unsurprisingly, the Neon business has been struggling and in fact performing terribly after the third month of his disappearance.

The Terror Queen, Oscar, and Divine and his group members tried their best to make the Neon business stable. But, with the reduction in the production of Neon, there was not much they could do.

Corey did not give anybody the full concoction method to produce Neon. He basically gave them 90% of the method, but the last ten % was extremely crucial.

Neon could be produced with the 90% concoction method he gave the Terror Queen and the others, but the last 10% was what made Neon to permanently increase a tier 0,1 and 2's stats.

Without it, the increase in stats was always going to be temporary.

Due to this, the Terror Queen, Oscar and the others involved in his Neon business suffered a backlash after the stock he had left them finished.

The Neon customers were obviously not satisfied with a temporary increase in their stats after consuming Neon, and there had been protests, riots and threats because of this.

Luckily, there was Divine and his group members to calm all of this before it got much worse.

But, things got much worse a month ago.

Divine got captured and the remaining group members had to go in hiding.

Oscar, the Terror Queen and the others who were involved in the production and distribution of Neon, no longer had the protection of a top and powerful group like Divine's group.

So with these, certain people started to rebel and there were even assassination attempts on Oscar and the Terror Queen.

One of the main reasons as to why Oscar decided to increase his tier.

His survival was at stake.

People who knew about Neon and its effects thought that Oscar and the Terror Queen were trying to hoard all the Neon for themselves.

And even if they weren't, they all believed that Oscar and the Terror Queen knew the complete concoction method of Neon.

And due to this, they had suffered quite a lot.
