The silence filled the conversation after Trisha said those words.‘This bitch… She’s pushing me to my limits, huh?’ Zayne thought, his jaw tightening and his nostrils flaring in anger. ‘Does she really think I won’t be able to do anything to her because I’m in this situation right now?’Trisha’s slap still stings, and the pain she wanted to give him wasn’t just physical, but mental and emotional.Her sudden appearance here was a declaration and a warning for me. That no matter what Zayne did, this time, he wouldn’t be able to dodge.With a deadly glare, Zayne stared at Trisha, making sure that the latter would feel his wrath deep into her soul.‘Just so you wait, Trisha Henverton! I’ll make you feel more hell than what I gave you last time once I fix this mess!’Zayne was about to speak and retaliate with words, but before he could do that, a commotion happened outside the warehouse.The sound of sirens blared through the open space, and within seconds, tons of high-ranking military

“Mess?” Rebecca asked, raising an eyebrow. “What are you talking about?”“Oh, you didn’t know?” Trisha looked at Rebecca, her eyes squinting. “Oliver and Zayne have a personal grudge against each other.”She added, “I don’t know what could be the reason, but I feel like my intuition is right. And seeing this, Oliver won’t let him do his retaliation again.”Rebecca‘s eyes widened upon hearing that revelation from Trisha. She didn’t have any idea that this fight was more than just merely saving someone.‘Wait… could this be because of Seraphine?’ Rebecca thought, especially now that she only knew recently how valuable her identity was to Oliver. ‘It could be possible. But why am I in the picture?”“But you do know that Zayne likes you, right?” Trisha asked, yet her tone was almost like a statement.However, when Rebecca’s brows furrowed in shock, Trisha gave her a look in disbelief.“This is crazy. You also didn’t know that?” Trisha asked, her eyes widening. “Almost everyone likes you in

“One enemy down! I’m taking over!” Ray shouted as he ran toward the side, holding his gun as he pointed it at the other enemies. “Damn, someone almost killed me! Samuel, are you there?”“I’m here on the other side,” Samuel answered calmly yet in a low tone, switching his weapon from a gun to a knife.He used it to silently kill the enemies and infiltrate the base without anyone noticing him.“I’m inside the base,” Samuel informed them, his eyes alert as he looked at the other enemies on the ground floor, oblivious of his presence. “Ray, inform me if you’re in position. I’ll start shooting once everyone’s ready.”“Alright,” Ray affirmed. “Just give me a little
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 132: The Secret
A few hours later, when Legion V, except Oliver, got tired of playing video games, Samuel, and James went to their homes.Rebecca was also going to do the same thing. She needed to go back to the town as her presence was needed in Umbrella Bank.“It was nice to see you again, Sera, Oliver…” said Rebecca with a smile. “Take care, both of you, okay?”Seraphine returned Rebecca’s smile. “You too. Don’t work too hard.”Rebecca chuckled. “No promises.” She glanced at Oliver. “Try not to get into much trouble.”“No promises,” Oliver answered with a smirk, imitating Rebecca’s statement earlier.Rebecca rolled her eyes but let out a chuckle afterward. She went to the car, and Ray opened the passenger seat’s door.“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to bring her home safe and sound,” Ray assured them as he did a playful salute. “You have my word—no scratches, no trouble, and definitely no detours… unless she insists,” he added to say, his tone teasing, as he playfully glanced at Rebecca.Without a w
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 133: Their Daughter
Oliver already knew what Seraphine was going to say. But hearing that confirmation made his eyes widen.The shock and sadness became evident in his eyes, his gaze fixated on Anastasia.“Our daughter…” Oliver muttered, taking slow steps toward the child.He held Anastasia’s hands, and it felt like his heart was split into two upon seeing how many injection marks she had.“How old is she?” he asked, his tone low. “Looks like she’s five or six…”“She’s five,” Seraphine confirmed, her hands playing with her fingers, and her gaze fixated on the floor. “I… gave birth to her while you were away.”With his brows furrowed, Oliver’s mind went back to their situation six years ago.He had been working like a madman at that time, given that Charlie requested him to do tons of missions in exchange for his retirement.That was Oliver’s plan all along—to retire from his work and live a peaceful life with Seraphine and their future family.But the last mission with Zerenette ruined everything.“If yo
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 134: Colossia Royal Hospital
“Once the government knew that I was resorting to asking someone for money, we would be kicked out of the capital,” Seraphine said, her tone low. She added, “I can’t afford that. Although this hospital was more shabby than the others, it was still superior to the hospitals in town.”Oliver nodded in agreement. If it were him, he would also do the same thing.“I understand,” Oliver said, his tone low as he looked Seraphine in the eye. “Thank you for being strong, Sera. Not only for our daughter but for yourself as well.”Taking a card from his pocket, Oliver gave it to Seraphine.“A red card?” Seraphine spoke, taking the card from Oliver’s hand. “This is… the highest card in every bank.”“It is,” Oliver confirmed. “Use that money to transfer Anastasia to the most expensive hospital here in the Capital. She won’t heal in this place.”Oliver scanned the room, and although it was already fine, he still wanted the best for their daughter.This is the only way he could give back to her, es

‘If they won’t recognize this card, then what will I do now?’ Seraphine added to ask herself, the worry starting to consume her.“Apologies, ma’am, but we can’t accept an unknown card,” the first guard said, handing the card back. “This hospital is strictly for high-profile patients.”The second guard nodded, agreeing with the statement. “Do you have a registered membership or a direct referral from the hospital’s board?”“N-No…” Seraphine answered, and it felt like there was a lump in her throat upon saying those words. “All I have is this card, thinking this should be enough.”She added, “According to the bank, it holds the highest privilege.”Seraphine just repeated the statement Oliver told her earlier. The tone of her voice was lower now as her confidence was gradually shattering.“I’m sorry, but without verification, we can’t allow entry,” the guard answered, his expression remaining neutral.Hearing those words, Seraphine felt her chest tighten.For a moment, she hoped to admit

“Don’t let that woman fool you!” Inna shouted to the receptionist, the anger evident on her face. “So what if her daughter had surgery at Celestial Medical Center before? Does it mean the money came from her, huh?”“The money came from all of my assets,” Seraphine answered, looking Inna in the eye. “If you want proof, then you can ask the government for my record. I’ll also give you my bank statement as well.”Seraphine was prolonging her patience for a while now, but Inna’s complaints were making it hard for her to do it.“Hah… This cunning bitch,” muttered Inna in annoyance, but enough for Seraphine and the receptionist to hear. “This is why I hate beggars, especially like you who don't know where to stand.”Hearing those words, Seraphine clenched her fists, her anger already readying to snap at any time.Fortunately, the receptionist, who doesn’t care about Inna's presence at this point, talked to Seraphine.“You should fill this document, Ma’am. This is for the admission,” the rec

“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
Chapter 174: Instilling Fear
“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
Chapter 173: After The Mission
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
Chapter 172: No Matter The Cost
“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
Chapter 171: Third File
[Zerenette Lakovia and Confidential Protocol.]If they fall into the wrong hands, those files could destroy everyone, including Dominic and everything he built, in a flash.And the wrong hands he was talking about were Oliver and the whole Legion members, not necessarily the Legion V itself.“They had managed to infiltrate Argus Industries…” Dominic muttered, biting his lower lip. “Although it would take a longer time before they come back, eventually, they will.”It’s not a question of whether they will infiltrate again; it's only a matter of time.Pulling the files out of the vault, Dominic whispered, “I need to take care of this before everyone finds it.”It includes the person who called Dominic earlier—his boss.Little did everyone know that although Dominic was obeying all their commands, a part of him wanted to cut all his connections from Argus Industries.But the higher-ups won’t let him do that, so he decided to make those files as leverage, a trade he could use against anyo

Dominic’s boss was still unconvinced.Although the intruders stayed in the Research and Development Department for a short time, he didn’t believe that they didn’t pick anything up along the way.“Run the report,” commanded the boss.Even though he was panicking, Dominic forced himself to summarize the report on his tablet.“The intruders were named Jerome and Ralph, employees of the technical team,” Dominic read the file.“According to their team leader, he received a text to send some employees from the maintenance team to fix the elevator on the top floor.”His brows furrowed afterward.“But it wasn’t from my employees, especially not from me. I was on a business meeting when this happened.”“I know,” answered the person on the other line with a smirk. “I have your entire schedule, Hawthorne. Did you forget?”Upon hearing those words, Dominic gulped.This was his role in the illegal business he had. Someone who just needed to act like a decoy and follow their commands.A mere puppe
Chapter 169: Research and Development
The next thing Legion V needed to find out was the reason for the partnership.“You’re right, but trust is earned, not given,” Oliver said, his eyes burning with determination.“And we’re going to see whether Charlie is deserving of that trust or not.”***Meanwhile, Dominic had just returned to Argus Industries.He was out of Colossia earlier to meet with a client, but he ended it abruptly upon receiving a text message from his right-hand man.[Argus Industries has been compromised. There were intruders in the building.]“Shit,” Dominic muttered a curse as someone opened the door for him.He entered the building, and he was immediately followed by five bodyguards on the back.One of Dominic’s managers, who was in charge of the top floor, went onto him, immediately keeping up with the pace.“What’s the situation?” Dominic asked, his walk calm yet urgent.“We lost the intruders, Sir,” the manager said, his voice low. He added, “They used an exit from the west wing—a location that wasn
Chapter 168: Best Shot
Ray struck first, driving his elbow into the nearest guard’s temple. The man crumpled without a sound before losing consciousness.Oliver went to the second guard, twisting his arm behind his back before slamming him against the wall.The man groaned in pain, but Oliver’s hand clamped over his mouth to prevent being heard by the other guards possibly monitoring the hallway.“Don’t move. Don’t speak,” Oliver commanded as he leaned in, his voice low. “If you value your life, you’ll stay low.”Nodding frantically, the guard looked at Oliver, with his eyes widening.At first, Oliver hesitated to hurt the guard. After all, these two were ordinary guards patrolling the exit.However, a few seconds later, he knocked the guard out. They didn’t have time for risks.“Damn. I thought you’d let him be,” Ray teased, shaking his head.Oliver smirked. “Not a chance.”With the guards down, they both moved to the loading dock door.“We’re already outside, waiting for you two,” Samuel’s voice came t
Chapter 167: Locked
James typed aggressively onto his keyboard, looking at the third door’s password.“Be quick, James,” Nick said, looking onto the sniper scope. “Another batch of security is going through the storage room.”Instead of answering, James clicked on the information he found onto the screen.“The password is encrypted—”“No, it’s not,” Ray interrupted, already turning the handle. “The lock’s broken.”“That’s suspicious,” Samuel muttered. “And that could be a trap, Commander.”Oliver gritted his teeth. His gaze moved between the three doors and even on the pathway that would bring them back to the abandoned storage room.‘All of them had different risks, and the second door could be detrimental to our health as we’re unsure about the chemicals in the air,’ Oliver thought, frowning.He pondered for a few seconds. After that, he pushed the door open, revealing another narrow path—almost identical to the path they had walked onto earlier.The only difference is that this other path has yellow
