At a secluded bar in another town, Oliver went inside, not minding the people drinking and making out in every corner.The smoke from the cigarettes filled the air, as did the music blasting from the DJ, who enjoyed playing it in front.“Are you sure Ray could be here?” Oliver asked Melissa through the phone, his voice louder than usual.“I’m not a hundred percent sure, but according to my investigation, he went there occasionally,” Melissa replied, her tone firm. “Ray Parker is hard to find, so we should take every piece of information we got—no matter how small it was.”Realizing Melissa was right, Oliver nodded. “I’ll try finding him here.”He ended the call and slid the phone into his pocket.Oliver wandered around the bar, his muscular appearance attracting some of the girls inside the bar.Even though the town where he was right now was a few miles from his home, no one recognized him.“Hey, handsome,” one of the customers wearing revealing clothes approached Oliver, her hands c

After talking for a few hours, Oliver and Ray already had their plans and formulated steps to execute them.“Dealing with Zayne would not be a piece of cake. It could put you in danger as well. Remember that,” Oliver reminded, his tone low.Ray nodded. “I already knew that ever since what happened to us three years ago. If our enemy wasn't as strong as ours, we would have defeated them back then.”“Right,” Oliver agreed, although it was hard for him to accept it. “So our first step is to investigate further about the Safe Haven Defense, and find more of Zayne’s weaknesses.”“Consider it done,” Ray affirmed.Due to his role in the Legion V before, Ray was often assigned to tasks like investigating someone or infiltrating their base.“I can’t help but remember the past,” Ray muttered, the sadness evident in his tone. “We were executing missions pretty well back then, and you’re guiding us properly.”“It would have been nice if the other members were with us right now,” he added and heav

While Oliver and Ray were drinking at the bar, Rebecca did the same thing on the countertop.“One margarita, please,” she said, raising her glass.“On it, Ma’am.” The bartender nodded.As the bartender created her drink, Rebecca sighed upon sipping her remaining beverage.It has been a while since she went to the bar last time with Oliver and Nate.“Oliver…” Rebecca said, her tone low. “I wonder how he is right now…”She knew about what happened to Trisha, and how Oliver was framed up to the crime. Rebecca trusts Oliver, so she believes that claim instead of Carolina’s statement that Oliver was the one who kidnapped Trisha.Strangely, Rebecca felt that the same thing happened to her, although she couldn’t remember anything related to that.“Here, Ma’am,” the bartender said, snapping Rebecca from her thoughts.“Thank you.” Rebecca smiled and took the wine glass from the bartender’s grasp.Rebecca drank it in a few gulps, followed by someone sitting beside her.“Take it easy. You might

A few minutes later, Jay was badly beaten up.His eyes were almost closed and his body was trembling badly, given how many punches Oliver gave him.Not being able to see and think straight anymore, Jay kneeled on the floor.“I-I’m sorry… I won’t do it again,” Jay said, his tone low and pleading. “Please let me go… I won’t go near Rebecca. I promise you that.”“Hmm?” Oliver raised a brow. “But this is the second time. How can I trust you?”“I-I…” Jay trailed off, not knowing what to say. “I will transfer to a different town! I swear—”Before Jay could finish his sentence, Oliver pulled him by the collar before slamming him again on the floor.“You dare lie to me despite pleading? Both of us know you can’t leave this town,” Oliver stated, his tone dangerously low.Hearing Oliver’s words only made Jay tremble more.‘He’s right. Dad will probably kill me if I leave all the businesses in this town…’ he thought. ‘But how did Oliver know about it?’“I’m giving you another chance, and remembe

“What is it?” Oliver asked, his brows furrowing.“Ryan Williams got into an accident,” Melissa confessed, still looking at her computer screen. “His car hit a tree on the side, and… exploded.”Hearing those words, Oliver froze.“Where is he right now?” Oliver asked, trying to maintain his composure. “Send me the location. I’ll go there.”“He’s at the Umbrella Hospital, Commander,” Melissa answered.Oliver thought Melissa said the room number, but she didn’t. So, he asked, “What room?”Still, Melissa didn’t reply. He could only hear her sighing on the other line.“Melissa, I said, what room?” Oliver asked again, his tone being impatient this time.“There is no room…” Melissa muttered, She didn’t know how to tell Oliver what she discovered but still went through it.“He is at the morgue, Commander.”Oliver almost let go of his phone and stumbled to the floor. Thankfully, there was a wall behind him he could lean on for support.“I have evidence for it. I’ll go to you now.”“I’m sure it
