“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
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 137: Won't Let It Slide
Seraphine suddenly felt nervous upon seeing the kind of gaze Cedric was giving to her and the red card she was holding.‘Is he also thinking the same way as the manager?’ Seraphine thought, her brows furrowing. ‘What if this really isn’t authentic? Did Oliver get tricked?’“Give me the medical documents,” Cedric said, showing his palm to the receptionist. “I want to see the records.”“Yes, Director.”As soon as the receptionist gave the medical file to Cedric, the latter quickly scanned it, flipping through the pages.“Anastasia Hunt…” Cedric muttered, his eyes darkening. “Although she received surgery three years ago, her condition is severe. Why wasn’t she transferred here sooner?”His gaze moved to Seraphine.Seraphine, on the other hand, looked away. She didn’t know how to answer that question.Or maybe she did. Seraphine just couldn’t know how to say that decision was because of financial restraints.“Director, according to that record, Anastasia Hunt received surgery at Celest
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 138: VIP Suite
Inna’s eyes widened at the sudden change in Seraphine’s expression.‘This bitch… How dare she use that tone and look at me like that?’ Inna thought, her fists clenching while concealing her annoyance.‘Just because Director Cedric is on her side, she dares to treat me this way now?’At their first encounter, Inna thought that Seraphine was weak, especially since she had a child.But looking at her now, it seemed like a different person was in front of Inna.“H-Hey, I was just doing my job earlier. I thought that red card was fake!” Inna answered, defending herself. “Because if it was, do you think the director would be on your side?”Seraphine glanced at Cedric, then back to Inna.“Of course, he won’t,” answered Seraphine with a smirk. “But even if the card wasn’t fake at all, you’re still criticizing me. Don’t you think I won’t notice?”Inna crossed her arms and smirked. “Well… Your appearance gives me reasons to do it. Like, how could someone like you have a prestigious card like
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 139: Inside Job
Hearing those words, Seraphine’s eyes widened in shock.“Zerenette Lakovia? The supposed heir of Lakovia Mercenaries?” Seraphine couldn’t help but ask.“Yes.” Cedric nodded. “She was going back and forth to the hospital because of a rare disease we couldn’t decipher.”He added, “It was too bad that she experienced such a horrible thing at her age, and she died young.”Seraphine remained silent, her gaze fixated on the empty bed on their side.Suddenly, she remembered that Oliver’s last mission was to save Zerenette when unknown people kidnapped her, yet they couldn’t do it.That’s also the time when Oliver disappeared from Colossia, including his memories.“Wait… Was she taken away here?” Seraphine couldn’t help but ask, the curiosity getting through her mind.Cedric shook his head. “No one could infiltrate the VIP suites, not even people who have connections inside.”He pointed at the entrance. “That is why there’s a scanner there. Only the authorized people could go inside.”“Or if
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 140: Earnings
“This is the first time I’ve seen a card that gives instructions like this,” the cashier admitted, the amusement evident in her tone. “Not to mention, it’s also the first time I’ve seen a red card.”To be honest, Seraphine was the same.She had only heard some things about expensive cards before, but now that she was holding one, it almost felt surreal.“T-Thank you.” Seraphine smiled as she accepted the card and placed it inside her pocket.“So… There’s no problem now, right?”“No, Ma’am.” The cashier shook her head, smiling. “Everything is fine now, and when there’s an emergency, you’ll receive a call from the director.”“Alright… Thanks.”Seraphine left the reception area after that.Tons of questions filled her mind, but at the same time, she felt relieved. Now that Anastasia is in a better hospital, she doesn’t need to worry.The doctors in Celestial Royal Hospital were more competent.Based on what Cedric told her earlier, it seems like they were doing their jobs not for money

A few seconds later, Rebecca answered.“Your investments are doing well.” She smirked. “Do you want to know how massive your earnings are per day just with this money?”Oliver raised an eyebrow. “How much?”“So far, you’ve been earning an average of $500,000 a day,” Rebecca said, the proudness evident in her tone. “Although there was a small drop in the tech stocks, the energy and commodities investments balanced it out.”She added, “Also, we got some dividends from the private equity fund, so overall, it’s good.”Rebecca scrolled through the file and analyzed the patterns. “I assume that for the next few days, the numbers will climb up,” Rebecca told him. “I will try to look for more companies where you can invest.”“Alright,” Oliver answered with a smile. “As expected, you’re a great fund manager, Rebecca.”After knowing about the red card’s existence, Oliver trusted Rebecca to be his fund manager and take care of all the investments to grow his money.Businesses aren’t exactly Ol

Upon hearing Oliver’s words, Rebecca couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “You’re impossible.”“And yet, you love working for me,” Oliver smirked.She scoffed but didn’t deny it.Who wouldn’t love working with Oliver?After all, Oliver was right. The amount of money he’ll use to buy the businesses won’t even affect his financial standing.Aside from that, she trusted that Oliver wouldn’t just buy the businesses for his gain.It may not be obvious, but it is always for the greater good every time Oliver does something.“Alright. I’ll take care of it immediately and update you about it,” Rebecca answered, her tone more determined than earlier.Oliver noticed it, making him smirk. “You’re with me on it now, huh?”“Well, I just realized this could be a good revenge for Jay.” Rebecca's lips curved into a devilish smile.She added, “That jerk. After all the kindness I showed him because of his father, he still managed to disrespect me.”Rebecca still remembers how Jay repeatedly crossed the lin

He had suspected that Zerenette’s kidnapping at that time wasn’t just a simple act of ransom or power play.But Seraphine's words only confirmed that this was an inside job.‘Someone with high-level access to security details had orchestrated it,’ Oliver thought, his teeth gritting.Just then, his phone vibrated in the center console.He glanced at the screen and saw that Ray was calling him.“I’ll just answer this call,” Oliver said, looking at Seraphine.“Alright.” She nodded and looked at the view outside the window instead, giving Oliver privacy.With one hand on the wheel, Oliver answered the call and connected it through his earphone.“Ray,” Oliver greeted him, his tone low and authoritative. “Is something the matter?”“Commander, James had discovered something just now,” Ray replied, the worry and panic evident in his tone. “It’s about Zerenette’s kidnapping three years ago.”Upon hearing those words, Oliver’s breathing hitched.Tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, Oliver

Those words piqued Oliver’s curiosity. So, with his brows furrowing, he asked, “How?”Rebecca looked at Nate, as if she was saying that it wasn’t her story to tell.Nate cleared his throat and drank his beer. Unlike what Oliver was expecting, Nate looked smug, feeling proud of what he was about to tell him.“Well, you know that as I climbed the corporate ladder at Williams Corporation, I somehow dealt with the toxic employees there,” Nate stated.Oliver nodded. “Of course. Even when we’re working at the wet market before, we experienced that,” he said.“Right.” Nate agreed. “And one time, I noticed that there were discrepancies with the company’s funds. It wasn’t matching accurately with the statements, which immediately gave me suspicions about something.”He paused, then spoke again, “Someone’s stealing the company funds. And I need to know who it was.”“So, what did you do?” Oliver asked, his interest getting bigger now.Nate didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he leaned on the cha

Rebecca let out a deep sigh. “I just think this is suicide, Oliver.”She added, explaining her words, “You can’t get anything from it. Not brand reputation, money, or influence. Nothing.”Oliver couldn’t help but laugh a little upon hearing her sentence.“No, I’m telling you. It’s not,” Oliver answered, shaking his head although Rebecca couldn’t see him.“Financially, it could look like that. But I have a deeper reason for this acquisition, Rebecca, something that isn’t stupid,” he added, his tone now low and serious.Rebecca blinked in surprise, not expecting the sudden shift in Oliver’s tone.“That’s all I can tell you for now,” Oliver said before Rebecca could even ask a question. “But I promise, you’ll know about all of it soon.”The silence filled their conversation as Rebecca didn’t answer immediately.Her fingers tightened around the pen she hadn’t even realized she was holding, thanks to Oliver for always giving her something to think about.Finally, she exhaled slowly.

Chapter 191: Vows Of Vengeance
Oliver had booked a penthouse, not to flex his wealth, but because it was the safest, and it was also the room Ryan recommended.Still, he checked every part of that room, whether there were hidden cameras, suspicious things, or even a bomb that could kill him on the spot.“None.” Oliver sighed in relief, seeing that nothing could bring him harm.That was the moment he could finally place his luggage on the side and sit on the edge of the bed, his breath panting.There was still the adrenaline from earlier, and no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t get his mind off it, especially with what he shared.Suddenly, his phone rang, which snapped Oliver from his thoughts for a moment.“Ryan,” Oliver spoke upon answering the call.“One of my people informed me that you’re already at the hotel,” Ryan said on the other line, his tone ingratiating yet still authoritative. “How’s the penthouse to your liking?”“It’s great,” Oliver answered, his tone laced with sincerity. “Also safe.

His boss had his brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”“With the intensity of his kick, I almost thought that he wasn’t a human,” the man explained, his voice low.“It’s like he possesses extraordinary strength.”The silence filled the conversation as his boss didn’t answer.However, his boss clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, pondering upon something deeper, something that the man couldn’t decipher.“This is bad. He should be weaker as time went by, not stronger,” his boss said, his voice dangerously low.“What could be triggering him?”“Sir?” the man asked, not being able to follow through his boss’ mumbles.“Nothing.” His boss shook his head. “Is there anything else you noticed about him?”The man didn’t answer immediately as he caressed his chin, his eyes narrowing as he returned to the scenario earlier.“He looks younger,” the man mumbled. “Three years have passed. He should have aged as it was a long time, but he didn’t…”His voice trailed off, not because he didn’t know

Oliver also felt it toward his body, the adrenaline rushing through his veins. But he could still manage it, although he didn’t know exactly what he was controlling.“Seeing your movements, I know that you’re not just some hired thug,” Oliver muttered, his eyes and voice sharp. “Light footwork, fast movements, physical combat skills…”He looked at the man intently, his eyes narrowing as he played with his knife.“A military, or maybe ex-special forces?”Instead of answering, the man smirked, yanking down his face mask, revealing a thin scar slashing across his jawline.“As expected from you, Zero,” the man spoke, his smirk widening. “But do you want to know how I got this scar?”He stood up properly, removing his bonnet this time, as he looked Oliver in the eye.“You did that with your fucking knife, Zero,” he said, his voice edged with something darker. “You slashed my jaw, yet you dared not to remember it?”Hearing those words, Oliver smirked.He pretended to be trying to remember
Chapter 188: Extraordinary Strength
“Be careful,” Seraphine told him, her tone low and pleading. “Those people you’re fighting with aren’t ordinary ones. You don’t even know who’s pulling the strings.”“I know,” Oliver answered, nodding. “But I’ll discover their identities. Not now, but soon.”“And while you’re doing it, make sure no one can catch up to you,” Seraphine reminded him. “Don’t trust anyone, Oliver. That’s what I did, and I survived.”Oliver’s jaw clenched upon hearing those words.He could hear Seraphine’s voice and breathing hardening on the other line, and at the same time, it infuriated him.‘Seraphine had experienced too many hardships in those three years for her to think like this,’ Oliver thought, gritting his teeth. ‘And I wasn’t even there for her.’Oliver paused for a moment, then answered after a few seconds.“Alright. I will do that.” His tone was low, and his eyes narrowed upon noticing something in the streets.He spoke again, “You should rest as well, Sera. Sleep tight with Anastasia beside y

Chris nodded solemnly, like he was receiving an official vow from a superhero. “Okay, Uncle. Then I’ll wait.”Oliver nodded and smiled in response.For a moment, he felt bad that he had Chris in his arms, and even spent time with him as a kid, while he wasn’t able to do that to Anastasia.But he realized that he couldn’t bring back the past. Oliver could only focus on the present for a better future.“Okay, kid. I’ll put you down now,” Oliver told Chris as he let the latter’s feet step onto the ground.His gaze moved onto Nate and Rebecca afterward. “Thanks for the food. And the company.”Nate nodded, then asked. “You sure you don’t want to rest for a bit more? You just came back.”“Nah,” Oliver replied, grabbing his jacket from the back of the couch. “If I stay too long, I’ll start thinking I can afford peace.”“You do deserve it, though,” Rebecca answered, her smile faltering slightly.She added, “There were so many things that happened in the Capital, and Zayne’s in jail now. Mayb

Rebecca leaned forward slightly, curiosity flickering behind her eyes as she looked at Oliver.“So what now? You buy their companies, and then what? Walk away?”Hearing those words, Oliver smirked. “Walking away is never a part of the plan, and this isn’t just revenge.” He paused, then spoke again. “This is a message.”Nate’s brows furrowed, his face laced with confusion. “To whom?”“To everyone who thinks they can mess with the people I care about and get away with it.”A brief silence followed again, heavier this time.Then, Rebecca slowly let out a breath and leaned back. “Remind me never to cross you.”“You won’t,” Oliver replied, flashing a small grin. “You’re not my enemy, but an ally. And also, you wouldn’t dare. I just know it.”Rebecca shot him a deadpan look.“I said that not because I’m scared.” She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. “I just don’t want to see Seraphine show up at my house, mad like a wild lioness.”That made Nate laugh, tension easing slightly.“I’ve ne

“You didn’t tell me that he’s here,” Rebecca said, her lips curving into a smirk. “If I had known, I might have thrown a welcome-back party.“He didn’t tell me either,” Nate answered, wiping some parts of his face, which was still wet because of the water.A maid also came up to them, cleaning some wet parts on the floor, which was on the other side, not on the part where Rebecca was sitting.“Thanks,” said Nate with a smile.The maid only nodded in response before leaving the three of them alone.Nate added, talking to Rebecca, “I only saw him outside of the house. I didn’t even know how he managed to find my new location.”“I have connections now,” Oliver smirked and clicked his tongue. “But something that didn’t reach my radar is that you two were already together.”Rebecca grinned widely, holding her hand toward Nate’s arm.“We’re still getting to know each other,” she explained, her tone happy and proud. “That’s why I’m not interested in Ray.”She looked at Oliver afterward, now
