Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 136: Intervention
“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

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
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 142: Schedule
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
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 143: Orchestrator
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

Nick chuckled. “This is the first time you called Oliver ‘Commander’, huh?”“It’s because we’re on a mission,” James smirked as he typed again, accessing the security system he still had control over.Then, something caught his attention.“Commander, we have a problem,” James spoke to Oliver, who was making their way now toward the shortcut door that would lead to Dominic’s office.Frowning, Oliver asked, “What is it?”“There’s a biometric scanner on the shortcut door inside Dominic’s office,” James admitted, his hand-typing heard on the call. “I can’t bypass it remotely.”“Their security system intrigues me more,” Ray couldn’t help but say, seeing how the security tightens over time.Then, as they were already in front of the door of Dominic’s office, they saw it closely.The biometric scanner beside it glowed red, waiting for an authorized user.“James, is there any way to forge a scan?” Oliver asked, his tone low.“No.” James shook his head, although no one could see them. “You’d

A few seconds later, the elevator doors stopped on the second floor, and the real technicians moved towards the main control panels of the broken elevator.Oliver and Ray did their best to hide behind, taking James’ warning that there might be blind spots.“Let’s go do this quickly, everyone, so we can go home early,” the maintenance team leader said as they started taking off the tools.Then, she received a message.“They need two other maintenance on the top floor,” she said, her eyes scanning the team. There are five of them in total. “Who would volunteer?”“We’ll go,” Oliver said, raising his hand alongside Ray. “We’ll do the job quickly so all of us can go home without any problems.”“Alright.” she nodded, her expression stern. “Do your job properly. I’ll receive a message if you don’t.”Oliver and Ray nodded in unison.Little did the maintenance leader know, the message she received came from James, and not from an official employee of Argus Industries.“You may go,” she said,
Chapter 161: The Mission Begins
Oliver nodded, his mind already working through emergencies. “That’s why we stick to the plan,” he said, placing the tablet on the table. “No unnecessary risks.”Ray raised an eyebrow. “You sure about that? Every mission we’ve done together doesn’t exactly follow the plan.”Oliver chuckled, running a hand through his hair. “Let’s try to keep that from happening this time.”James cleared his throat. “Although I handle the CCTV loop and delete any footage of you as you move, I won’t be able to help you with the extra layer of security at Dominic’s office.”“Extra layer of security?” Ray asked, his brows furrowing.“Yeah.” James nodded. “A secondary system that isn’t connected to the main network.”Samuel’s eyes narrowed, looking James in the eye. “Which means?”James took the tablet from the table, tapping one side of the blueprint. “Which means that someone should physically disable it from inside the security room.”The silence filled their conversation for a moment. Then, Oliver’s

Samuel added, “Technically, all those high-quality drugs surrendered to the government were taken by Zayne.”“And Zayne gives it to the Argus Industries,” Oliver said, letting out a laugh, realizing how the Legion was used against something evil.The silence filled the room for a moment, then after a few seconds, James spoke.“We might need another way in because hacking isn’t an option for now,” James said, looking at the monitor. “I can’t even look at the Legion’s files. It will make us more suspicious of Charlie.”Oliver ran a hand through his hair, his mind already working through possibilities. James was right—hacking wasn’t an option. If Black Spade Holdings’ security was this tight, then anything related to Dominic’s dealings with the Legion would be buried even deeper.That left them with only one alternative.Infiltration.“Right.” Ray nodded in agreement. “We might have to do this old-school. A physical breach.”And it seemed like everyone had the same thought as him.With
Chapter 159: Client
Melissa hesitated, then answered, “He… came in as a client.”Her words sent a chill through the room.“That doesn’t make sense,” Ray commented with a frown. “Someone like him should have mercenary ties.”Ray added, “He even had the Safe Haven Defense with him, and Zayne working under his feet.”“Right,” James seconded the motion. “And I know Dominic. He’s not the type of person to work with someone… unless it was for the greater good, at least in his perspective.”Although James had an impression about Dominic looking like someone’s puppy and errand boy, he knew that Dominic would only do that to someone he would benefit with.“Then, might have gotten a benefit from Legion,” Oliver spoke, having the same thought as James. “If he went there as a client, what for?”“I don’t have the specifics yet,” Melissa admitted. “But if Dominic was using the Legion’s services instead of partnering with them, that means he wasn’t building an alliance—he was hiring them for something… or maybe Legion

The entire room was filled with silence, and only the sound of the computer running could be heard in the area.“If Black Spade Holdings has defenses this advanced, there has to be a reason,” Samuel said, his tone low.“We need to figure out what connects them to Argus Industries, Safe Haven Defense, and…” He trailed off, his jaw tightening. “Zerenette’s kidnapping.”All of them had a hard time remembering that mission. It changed everything for the worse.Ray leaned against the desk, rubbing his chin. “We already know that Argus Industries entered the process of formulating new drugs, while Safe Haven Defense supplied illegal arms internationally for the money.”“And Black Spade Holdings… There’s barely any public information about them,” Nick added, scrolling through his phone.“And that thing bothered me the most,” James huffed. “They are just a paper company. Hacking in shouldn’t be this damn difficult.”No one spoke afterward as all of them were pondering about every possible sc
Chapter 157: Next-Level Security
“I don’t know much about hacking…” Oliver admitted, his voice low. “But based on my understanding, are you saying that your hacking felt like it was on a loop?”“Exactly.” James nodded, then he pointed at the screen. “Look what I’m going to do.”James’ fingers flew across the keyboard, his eyes narrowing as he entered a series of commands. The screen flickered, codes running in a continuous stream.“This,” said James in a low tone.Samuel and Nick also walked toward James, looking at what was about to happen.James attempted to break into Black Spade Holdings’ security system once more.Within seconds, a new firewall emerged, forcing him back to the initial login screen.The same thing happened when he tried another approach, as if an unseen force was resetting his progress every time he got close.Ray crossed his arms, exchanging a glance with Nick.“That’s… weird,” he commented.“Right,” Nick answered, tilting his head, his expression laced with mixed confusion and amusement. “I’ve

Seraphine felt a sudden chill in her spine.She had always known that Oliver’s life wasn’t simple, that his past held secrets she still didn’t fully understand, although Oliver had told her some of the important details before.About rescuing Zerenette, for example.But hearing this now, knowing he was about to walk into something dangerous…“Then what about Anastasia? What about—”Her words halted, realizing what she was about to say.‘What about me?’Oliver leaned forward, his hands pressing tightly onto Seraphine. It was firm and reassuring.“I won’t leave you unprotected,” Oliver told her. “Bodyguards are watching from a distance, making sure you and Anastasia are safe.”Hearing those words, Seraphine’s lips parted in surprise. “You… already arranged this?”Oliver nodded, smiling. “I lost you and Anastasia three years ago, and I won’t let it happen again,” he replied.“I won’t risk your safety. Not with Trisha still lurking around. Not with the people I know could try to use you
Chapter 155: Step Away
“Nothing, really. Maybe I was just finding another way to release my stress.”Michelle let go of Trisha’s chin afterward, yet their proximity remained. Trisha could still feel the chills running through her spine because of the kind of look Michelle was giving her.“From now on, don’t wander to this place anymore, and especially, don’t let me see you again,” added Michelle in a dangerously low tone. “Or else, you won’t like what will happen next.”After giving Trisha a final warning glance, Michelle left the place, and the two sales associates followed her inside the bag store.Trisha remained kneeling on the ground. She couldn’t move her body, nor could she breathe properly.Even though she didn’t like it, Michelle’s warning seethed onto her skin, knowing that it wasn’t a wordless statement.High-ranking people like Michelle always do what they have said; threats aren’t an exemption.“Fuck, why is this happening to me?” Trisha exclaimed, looking at the peaceful night sky, yet her mi
