Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 118: Karma
A few minutes later, Francis woke up from his not-so-peaceful slumber and noticed he was in a dark, abandoned warehouse.He gasped as his lungs burned and air finally rushed back into them.“Fuck,” he muttered, feeling the pain in his neck.Francis could still vividly remember what happened in the car. His abduction, James’ betrayal, and also, the humiliation of blacking out for the second time.As much as he wanted to act strong, his body betrayed him.His head was spinning, his vision was hazy, and his body was trembling aggressively, feeling his fingers twitching against the rope tied to his hands.A violent cough racked his chest as his blurred vision struggled to adjust.“W-Where… am I?” he spoke, his throat feeling sore.Every breath of him was a painful reminder of the rope that had nearly ended him.“Not feeling awake yet?” someone spoke behind him. “Or maybe you need some punch to return to your senses?”Francis’ blood ran cold upon hearing that voice.Slowly, with effort, he

“Karma… Fuck!” Francis said, laughing sarcastically despite feeling his throat getting burned in every second. “How could you disguise your betrayal as karma, huh? That’s plain bullshit!”Francis was already hysterical but couldn’t do anything as he was trapped, making James’ smirk widen.Suddenly, James’s mind went back to his conversation with Oliver—the day Oliver kicked him out of the Legion.“You… How long did you know about this? And why are you only saying this to me now?” Oliver asked in disbelief after James confessed his involvement with Zayne.And Seraphine’s kidnapping.“With Francis’ help, I was able to place a bug onto Seraphine’s phone. That’s the time I found out she’s your wife,” James confessed. “And I told Zayne about that, which is why he asked us to abduct her.”“How could I exactly tell you about that? You might beat me to death,” James added, trying to suppress the fear within his body.Oliver massaged his knuckles, giving James an intense gaze. “If you won’t gi

Hearing those words, Samuel frowned as a realization hit him. “Could it be related to the message Zayne sent to Francis earlier?”Oliver also let them see the message James sent to him earlier, so they would also have an idea of what was happening.“It’s possible, but we still can’t be sure,” Oliver answered, focusing on the awaiting danger behind the door. “What’s the status inside?” he asked Nick.“Not great,” Nick replied. “There may be few, but they were skilled fighters. Some of them also have guns in their waist.”He added, “If they hide in a blind spot, then I won’t be able to shoot them.”“Alright,” Oliver affirmed. “What about Seraphine? Can you see her inside?”Nick adjusted his sniper gun and the scope, looking at the warehouse’s interior using thermal imaging.“She’s tied on a chair,” Nick informed, his gaze locking on Seraphine’s location. “There are two guards beside her. One man was also in front of her.”Upon looking closer, Nick made a deduction. “I think it was Zayne

Seraphine blinked in surprise. “What?”But Zayne didn’t answer her anymore. Instead, he took his phone and dialed Rebecca’s personal number—which she doesn’t use for work.Due to his massive connections, he could get any information he wanted as easily as pie.After a few minutes, Rebecca answered the call, her brows furrowing as she placed the phone onto her ear.“Rebecca Carter speaking,” she greeted, her tone polite yet cautious. “May I ask who this is, and how did you get my number?”“This is me, Zayne Greensmith,” he introduced herself, his voice has a dangerous edge to it. Hearing that statement, Rebecca unintentionally let go of the pen she was holding. It created a loud sound, making Zayne smirk on the other line.“It’s been a while, Rebecca. How are you?” he asked, his smirk widening.“I’m fine…” Rebecca answered, her tone trying to be casual, but failed.Her heart thumped rapidly, realizing that something wasn't right.After all, she heard negative rumors about Zayne, and h

“What the fuck?!” Zayne exclaimed, his eyes widening in shock as he stood up. “Who the fuck shot him?”Zayne asked that question to his remaining men, but no one could answer as they didn’t see the killer’s face.And every time someone was attempting to go outside to check, they were being shot.Because of that, Zayne raised his hand, halting everyone’s movement.“Go back here,” he commanded. “And don’t peek at whoever is outside the warehouse. Someone might have been helping him shoot us.”His gaze moved to the windows near the rooftop after saying those words.“A sniper,” said Zayne in a low tone, ensuring the person outside wouldn’t hear him. “Be careful. We don’t know when that person will attack.”Zayne tilted his head, pointing to the corner—a blind spot for snipers.“Sniper team, prepare for counterattack,” Zayne told his two men. “Kill that sniper as soon as possible. I’ll buy time for both of you, so execute your job properly.”“Yes, Sir,” both of them affirmed.The remaining

An explosion erupted from the west side of the warehouse, shaking the ground beneath them for a moment.“What the fuck?!” Zayne exclaimed, his body bending slightly to maintain his balance.The west side is where Zayne’s sniper team was positioned to find Nick.But now, there was a possibility that all of them were annihilated.“It could probably be Ray and Samuel,” Zayne muttered, gritting his teeth as he pointed to some of his men. “The three of you, go to the west side to check the situation there.”He added, “For the remaining ones, my command still stands. Kill Oliver!”“Yes, Sir!” Zayne’s men affirmed.Quickly yet carefully, all of them walked out of the warehouse, thinking that Oliver used the explosion earlier to escape since they didn’t see him anymore.However, as soon as they turned around, a bullet was buried in their heads.“All of you thought that I escaped like a coward, didn't you?” Oliver asked, his lips curving into a devilish smirk. “Not a chance!”He is frustrated

Without waiting for Ray to speak, Oliver ended the call.He looked at Zayne with a sly grin, but the latter only shook his head and clicked his tongue, giving Oliver an arrogant gaze.“You’re running out of luck, don’t you think?” Zayne asked, chuckling as he taunted Oliver. “Your members couldn’t go here to help you, and you don’t have any backup plan. All you have is bluffing.”Pressing the barrel of his gun harder against Seraphine’s temple, he added to speak.“If you don’t lower that weapon of yours, she won’t be so lucky either.”Oliver could easily pin Zayne down by shooting him in the head if he doesn’t have a hostage. Or even if he does, Oliver was confident about his skills to execute his plan properly, which he mostly does.But with Seraphine’s life on the line, Oliver’s body was stiffened. His emotions, which he should hold under his control, were taking over.“You’ll kill me yourself, huh?” Zayne taunted, his other hand going onto Seraphine’s neck, slightly choking her. “

“Do you think I’ll let you run away just like that?” Zayne said, his tone low and authoritative despite the pain in his hand. “Fuck that, Oliver. No one’s leaving alive in this place.”Oliver chuckled darkly. “You’re still persistent, huh? Shouldn’t you be glad instead that Nick missed his shot?”“Fucking no. Why the hell would I?” Zayne gritted his teeth, his bleeding hand holding onto the chair.Then, his left hand took the gun.It was his non-dominant hand, and the pain was already excruciating, so he had a hard time holding it.“Oliver… it’s dangerous,” Seraphine muttered, her hands holding tightly onto Oliver’s shirt. “Should you just take him down now instead of chit-chatting with him?”“He won’t be able to hurt us,” Oliver answered confidently—as if he was taunting Zayne. “But stay behind me, just to be sure.”Although they were in a serious situation right now, Seraphine couldn’t help but roll her eyes.‘Three years have passed, and he’s still as arrogant as ever,’ said Seraphi

The lobby was mostly empty except for a nurse seated at the front desk and a security guard sipping from a thermos in the corner.Both of them sat on one of the padded benches near the wide windows, which overlooked the hospital courtyard.Outside, the city lights twinkled faintly, and the occasional sound of traffic hummed in the background.“I thought you were going home,” Seraphine muttered, breaking the silence in between. “Are you planning to wait for Anastasia to wake up?”“No. I’ll let her rest for the meantime,” Oliver answered and looked Seraphine in the eye. “You’re the reason why I’m not going home yet, Sera.”Seraphine blinked in surprise. “Me?”“Yeah.” Oliver nodded. “I want to be with you, enjoy the silence with you. Like what we always do every time I go home.”Suddenly, both of their minds returned to the times they were together.And they were sitting with others during the silence made them feel they were back in time.It wasn’t awkward—just quiet, and full of the
Chapter 179: Family
For hours, Oliver, Seraphine, and Anastasia had a good time bonding as a familyBut mostly, it was Oliver and Seraphine talking as they spent more time getting to know each other, especially about Seraphine’s hobbies and wants.“I love watching superheroes like Sky Man, daddy,” Anastasia mumbled, giggling joyfully. “Mommy said that you’re a superhero, saving everyone’s lives while you’re away.”Oliver looked at Seraphine, his smile widening. “You said that to her?”“She asked me what your job is like,” Seraphine answered, looking away, scratching her nape. “That’s the closest description I could say.”“Well, you’re right.” Oliver nodded. Then, he leaned toward Seraphine, muttering into her ear, “But at the same time, you were wrong.”Hearing those words, Seraphine looked Oliver in the eye, her eyes narrowing.Oliver didn’t explain his sentence, she knew what he wanted to say.His work wasn’t exactly like a superhero. He’s a mercenary—Someone assigned to save or kill. Or both.Althoug

“Oliver,” Seraphine called, her brows furrowing.Hearing her mention his name made Oliver’s heart skip a bit.But then, he turned in her direction and smiled. “Why, Sera?”“Are you hiding something from me again?”That question caused Oliver’s smile to fade.‘I knew it. Seraphine had a good perception, or maybe it’s because we’ve been together for a long time,’ he thought.Oliver added, ‘It’s really hard to hide some things from her.’So, he decided to be honest with her about it.While walking toward the hallways, Oliver explained.“To be honest, I don’t know how I can explain it, or whether you’ll believe me or not,” he said in a low tone.“But the necklace I always have with me suddenly had a light on its pendant. And… poof. The light exploded.”He created a sound effect of an explosion, and his hands also re-enacted the same thing.“It didn’t hurt, but at the same time, I felt like something had changed within me,” he added. “I feel lighter and stronger in a way I can’t explain.”

“Shit, shit,” James muttered in panic, checking if the computer was still functioning or not.James opened the computer again and sighed in relief upon seeing that it still worked.“Damn, I thought I unintentionally destroyed it,” James grumbled, wiping the sweat on his forehead. “Fuck. That was close.”“Run through the entire computer and double-check whether that bastard managed to get on the security,” Oliver commanded.Then, he looked at Nick. “Help him double-check everything.”“Yes, Commander,” Nick affirmed.The silence filled their conversation as no one spoke afterward.But they could feel the tension arising in the air, especially with Oliver’s sudden shift in his expression.Sitting on the chair next to James, both of them started to check whether they had been compromised or if the enemy had managed to get through their computer or not.A few minutes later, Nick spoke, “There’s nothing. Our line is clean.”James sighed, leaning his back on the chair.“I don’t think their g

Nick stood up and entered Oliver’s room, whose door was slightly open.Knocking thrice on the door, he called, “Commander?”The silence followed as Oliver didn’t answer.It caused Nick to push the door open, his movements rushed.He saw Oliver standing in the middle of the room, unmoving.His hand was clenched around the necklace, his eyes wide, but his breathing steady.Too steady.The kind of calm that came after a rush of something overwhelming.“What was that light just now?” Nick asked, his tone half-joking but laced with genuine concern. “Was that magic or something?”Oliver didn’t reply.His gaze moved from the necklace toward Nick, staring at him for a moment.As soon as they locked eyes, Nick felt something different on his body.‘I knew that Oliver’s presence was overwhelming from the start, and it was different from us,’ Nick thought. ‘But what’s with him today?’Involuntarily, the chills sent down his spine.“I’m just joking,” Nick added, forcing a laugh. But it sounded to

“If that happens, we don’t need to infiltrate Argus Industries again as they would have higher security starting today,” Oliver added.Nodding, Samuel muttered, “As they move the files, that would be our greatest opportunity to attack.”“Exactly.” Oliver clicked his tongue.Nick, on the other hand, had his eyes narrowed at what he heard.“I thought we got all the information,” said Nick. “You saw the research and development facility, the illegal drug transactions, and even the partnership—”"That's the thing I have the most bad feeling with," Oliver spoke before Nick could finish his sentence.Oliver knew Charlie more than the rest of the Legion V members.‘Charlie doesn’t make decisions that he doesn’t think through carefully,’ he thought. ‘So, there must be a reason for his consideration.’“Uhm… Why don’t I ask Charlie instead?” suggested James as if it were that easy to do. “You know, I’m not banned like Legion V.”Hearing those words, Ray’s lips curved into a smirk.“Man, don’t

“Enough.” Oliver leaned against the doorway, arms crossed.A slight smirk tugged at his lips.“You can argue about coffee and liver damage later. Right now, we need to go over what we pulled from Argus Industries.”Oliver tried to make his voice calm and teasing, making sure he won’t completely ruin the vibe.However, Samuel, who was the most observant in their group, noticed the expression Oliver was trying to conceal.Fear. Worry. Anger.‘But not toward Legion V,’ Samuel thought, and he was certain about it. ‘Maybe it was because of what they found in the office.’“Ugh,” Nick groaned, dramatically flopping onto the couch.He added, “Commander, do we have to do work stuff already as soon as we reach the hideout? Can’t we pretend to be normal for like… five minutes?”Oliver raised an eyebrow.“You want normal? Then join a book club,” he answered as he also sat on the couch. “Now sit up.”Ray chuckled into his cup while Samuel, whose thoughts about Oliver faded, tried not to laugh.Eve

A few hours later, the Legion V arrived at Nick’s house, which they still use as their hideout.“We’re here,” Samuel stated, clicking a button on the van.In an instant, the van’s color immediately changed from black to white, the same as the plate number on the back.It was one of Samuel’s inventions; this was the first time he used it on a mission.“Damn, that was so incredible!” Nick exclaimed in amusement, his eyes widening as he looked at the car’s interior.Just like the car’s exterior, its interior also changed.Nick added, “If someone sees this, no one would think this is the same van… Or is it?”“It is,” James answered, clicking his tongue as he held onto his phone, playing games. “The car really hasn't changed. It was only an illusion. But if you look closely…”James’ face leaned toward the window, his eyes narrowing.“It was still the same car. The exterior and interior, everything.”Upon hearing those words, Samuel smirked.“You really have a keen eye just like your broth

“They might have replicated it.”That was Dominic’s realization as his gaze fixated on the folder, his eyes narrowing.“Oliver might not have taken the file, but it doesn’t mean he didn’t know about the information already.”The file was already on his fingertips. He could have just taken it instead of only creating a copy of it.Which means there could be a reason.‘He wanted me to be worried and wonder how much he knew,’ Dominic thought, clenching his fists.And damn, that was so effective.At that moment, there is only one question going through Dominic’s mind, and that is where he should transfer the files so no one else could find it again.***Meanwhile, at the Legion’s headquarters, Charlie was sitting on the chair with both his feet resting on the table.Tons of files were in front of him—something he needed to review as the CEO before the company makes a move on it.And the current file in his hand… was all about what Dominic had given to him a few days before.[Partnership B
