With the shadowy figure from earlier gone, Oliver gave a slight nod. “Alright.”“Thank you. Please, follow me,” Ryan said, his tone polite but firm.Oliver followed Ryan into a private meeting room.The space was elegant, with marble floors and walls adorned with expensive paintings.It wasn’t overly flashy, but the simplicity only added to its sophistication.Ryan glanced around the room before speaking. “I know this might seem suspicious, but I mean no harm,” he reassured Oliver, locking eyes with him. “I brought you here because what I’m about to say is confidential.”Oliver’s brow furrowed slightly. “What is it?”Without another word, Ryan picked up a brown envelope from the table and handed it to him. “Here.”Oliver opened the envelope and began sifting through the documents inside.His frown deepened as he realized the papers were related to a weapons manufacturing company.“These are the findings from the investigation you asked me to carry out,” Ryan explained, pointing at the

Oliver felt his chest tightening. His steps were slow, deliberate, trying to make sense of the tension bubbling inside him. From a distance, he overheard bits of the conversation.“Yes, she’s working hard in the capital,” Zayne was saying, his smile wide and confident. “She’s just as determined and competent as you.”Rebecca smiled softly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Thank you, Zayne.”“You’re welcome,” Zayne replied, his eyes drifting toward Oliver as he approached. “I should be going, Rebecca. See you around.”By the time Oliver reached them, Zayne was already walking away. His eyes lingered on the empty space Zayne had occupied, but quickly shifted to Rebecca.“Why were you talking to Zayne?” He asked, his tone sharper than he intended.Rebecca blinked, surprised by the question. “He’s a guest—and an important one at that. He wanted to ask me some questions about the umbrella bank,” She replied, her tone polite but slightly guarded. “Is something wrong?”

Jay ended the call. When he turned around, he saw Oliver staring at him.His eyes narrowed, and disgust flashed across his face.“What are you doing here, bastard?” Jay sneered.Oliver raised an eyebrow, unfazed.“I should ask you the same thing. Why are you here, shithead?”Jay’s jaw dropped.“W-What did you just call me?”“You heard me,” Oliver said, his voice low and steady. “A shithead. It suits you.”Jay’s face twisted in anger, his fists clenched.“Take it back! How dare you call me that? You even don't deserve to lick my shoes!”Oliver shook his head, barely blinking at Jay’s attempts to intimidate him.“What kind of man talks about swapping girlfriends like they’re trading cards? You and Denver? You’re both shitheads.”Jay’s fury flared.“I’ll make sure Denver hears about this!”“Go ahead,” Oliver replied with a shrug. “Tell him.”Jay fumbled for his phone, rage boiling over.“Let’s see how brave you are when I call someone to deal with you!”Before Jay could press a button, a

“The higher you go, the more important people you’ll meet. To access any floors above the second, you’ll need to swipe your card,” The receptionist explained, her smile warm as she handed Oliver his card.“Each floor has a different card for security,” She added, her gaze shifting to him.Oliver nodded, accepting the card. “Thank you.”“You’re welcome, sir,” she replied, then turned to Jay and Sabrina. “Hello, sir, ma’am. How can I assist you today?”“We’re here to meet Ryan Williams about a business proposal,” Sabrina said, her tone dripping with arrogance.“Just a moment,” the receptionist typed swiftly on her keyboard. “I see your appointment here, but you’ll be meeting with Ma’am Katarina, one of the business executives.”Sabrina’s face fell. “What? We wanted to meet Ryan Williams directly! Why can’t we see him?”“What? However, the business proposal we prepared was intended for Ryan Williams. Why can’t we meet him?” Sabrina asked.“I apologize, but all business proposals a

The elevator doors slid open at the top floor, revealing a sleek, modern office space. A man in his thirties, sharply dressed and exuding confidence, greeted them. “Good morning, Sir. Are you Oliver Hunt?”“Yeah, that’s me,” Oliver replied, gesturing to Nate beside him. “This is my friend. We’re here for a job interview as instructed by Ryan Williams.”“Sir Ryan has briefed me. Right this way,” The man said with a welcoming smile.As they followed him into a lavish room that resembled a high-end hotel suite, Nate’s eyes widened in disbelief. The white and gold decor radiated luxury and authority. “Is this really the interview room?” He whispered, glancing around, his excitement barely contained.“This is the meeting room for VVIP. Sir Ryan instructed me to negotiate here,” The man informed, seeing the confusion in Nate’s eyes.Nate’s eyes and mouth widened, astounded at what he heard.“I’m just going for a job interview, yet they brought us to a special room like this?” Nate

"Of course I can. Why wouldn’t I?" Oliver replied with a confident smile. “You’ve got the experience, and you have the education. You were only working at the wet market to support Chris.”“That’s true…” Nate muttered, eyes downcast.“This job isn’t anything new to you, and Kevin saw your potential. Maybe it’s time you see it in yourself too,” Oliver encouraged.Nate’s voice held a mix of excitement and disbelief. “It’s still hard to believe… With this salary, I won’t have to go back to the wet market. I can pay for Chris’ chemo, maybe even find a specialist.”Oliver patted Nate’s shoulder, smiling. “You can finally give Chris everything he needs. No more scraping by—get what you want.”“I will.” Nate’s eyes turned misty with gratitude. “Thank you, my friend. Once I’ve proven myself here, I’ll return the favor and recommend you…”Nate paused, realizing. “Wait, you’re the one who got me this job. Why haven’t you done the same for yourself?”Oliver chuckled. “Because I already have some

Trisha glanced up at Denver, sipping her wine leisurely. “Who again? Oliver?” she asked, following his gaze to the counter. There, she spotted Oliver, drinking alone.“What the hell? Did he just drink all that?” she muttered, eyes widening as she looked at the empty glasses in front of him. “Since when did he become a heavy drinker?”“Doesn’t matter, Trisha,” Denver replied, gritting his teeth. “What’s that loser doing in a high-end bar like this?”“Right! How did he even get in? He doesn’t have a penny to spare!” Sabrina, who’d been tipsy moments ago, seemed instantly sober at the mention of Oliver’s name. She rolled her eyes in disgust. “Great. Of all people, he had to show up here. Talk about ruining my night!”Jay felt the same frustration. He’d been working on getting Sabrina drunk enough to come home with him, but Oliver’s presence was throwing off his plan.‘That bastard,’ Jay thought angrily.He hadn’t forgotten how Oliver humiliated him at William Corporation. The only rea

Unfazed by the intimidation, Oliver lifted his chin slightly, meeting each of their eyes before settling his gaze on Timothy. “Rebecca’s not some prize you get to decide on,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “She can make her own choices. If she didn’t want to be around me, she’d say it herself.” Of course, Rebecca wasn’t really his girlfriend, but something didn’t sit right about this setup. She’d always been there to help him, and he’d be damned if he let them pull her into their twisted games. Timothy’s grip on the bat tightened, his face darkening. “This isn’t up for debate, you freak. A worthless piece of crap like you doesn’t deserve to be with her.” From the corner, Trisha crossed her arms with a smirk. “Right! You don’t deserve to be with anyone!” She gave him a look of pure contempt. “All you do is weigh people down. You really think you matter here?” Denver chuckled darkly. “Let him keep thinking he’s got a shot. Sooner or later, he’ll realize he bit off more

Upon seeing what Zayne was trying to show her, Carolina’s body froze.“H-How…” she muttered, her tone laced with confusion. “Why do you have a picture of that necklace?”“The one who kidnapped Trisha sent that to me,” Zayne lied, heaving a frustrated sigh.He added, “At first, I didn’t know what it was, but I suddenly remembered the issue circulated here about the necklace.”The conversation was silent, as Carolina couldn’t find the right words. Even the reporters were shocked, as they had heard about the stealing incident a few weeks ago.Carolina only looked Zayne in the eye, the disbelief evident in her expression.‘I immediately ran onto Oliver as soon as I learned about Trisha being taken by someone…’ Carolina thought, her fists balling.‘And now, this guy is telling me that Oliver is her kidnapper?’If Zayne was telling the truth, that was a strong punch to her pride.She just put Trisha more in danger.“I see. You don’t believe me just yet,” Zayne said, snapping Carolina back

Back at the abandoned warehouse, Zayne was escaping alone as Oliver already beat all his people up.This was the first time he saw Oliver bursting into a rage.It sent shivers onto his spine, knowing Oliver could kill him that moment if he wanted to.“Shit,” Zayne groaned, feeling the pain traveling onto his body.Broken ribs, aching muscles, and some bruises and wounds.None of them were comparable for the intense aura Oliver showed with his eyes.And Zayne felt that everything happened because of him.‘I need to report this, and take those injured men to the hospital,’ Zayne thought.Taking his phone, Zayne was about to dial someone’s number.He looked at the sky, and he stopped on his tracks upon noticing something.“What the fuck?” Zayne asked, seeing a bomber flying at the top of the warehouse. “Shit. Fucking shit!”Zayne ran toward the exit, but he hadn't even run that far when the bomb dropped.BOOM!“Ugh!” Zayne groaned as the bomb’s impact dragged him away.His back hit the w

“Melissa,” Oliver spoke, answering the call.“Did I get your signal right, Commander?” Melissa asked, the hesitation evident in her tone. “I saw your hand gesture.”Oliver made that hand gesture while fighting with Zayne’s men.He remembered doing that whenever he needed to have silent commands and hoped that Melissa would understand it.Gladly, she did.“Yes,” Oliver answered. “Anyway, I need a chopper.”Melissa smiled. “On it, Commander.”Only a few seconds later, a helicopter landed a short distance before him.A man went down and kneeled in front of Oliver. “I’m glad that you’re back, Commander Zero.”Oliver only nodded in response, acknowledging his presence.“Hendrick,” Oliver called, then gave Trisha to him. “Bring her to the hospital, and inform Carolina Henverton that she’s safe.”He added, “You can make it seem like you’re her rescuers, right?”“We can,” Hendrick reassured. “But Commander, aren’t you going with us? You’re injured, and you need immediate treatment—”“I can ha

Zayne faltered, his hands trembling against the baton he was holding.‘I knew his presence was overwhelmingly strong, but this is the first time I’ve seen his eyes like this,’ Zayne thought, looking at Oliver’s face.The anger was evident in Oliver’s eyes, sending shivers down Zayne’s spine.Zayne tried masking his fear with anger. But it was too late. Oliver could sense the cold bite of fear in him.“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue now?” Oliver asked, raising an eyebrow. “Where’s the arrogance you had earlier? And why are your hands shaking?”“T-This…” Zayne looked at his hand, and he seemed pathetically scared. “Shit. Damn you, Oliver!”Zayne swung his baton, but before it landed on Oliver’s face, the latter caught it with his right hand.“W-What the?” Zayne asked in confusion, looking at Oliver’s hands—which were now untied. “How?”His gaze stopped at the blade Oliver was holding; a blade.“You didn’t really think I’d let you beat me up without having a backup plan, didn't

“Jack!” Ray called, trying to snap Jack back to his senses. “Don’t do something the commander didn’t instruct us to do!”But Jack pretended not to hear anything.He still paved the way toward the minefield, carrying something on his shoulder.“I’ll borrow your bazooka for a while, Nick,” Jack said, positioning himself with the bazooka on his side. “You can buy another one after this, can’t you?”“Jack Ferguson! You shit!” Nick cursed on the other line, seeing how serious Jack was about what he was going to do.He added, “Don’t you love your life anymore? What about your younger brother? Are you going to leave him just like this?”“The mission comes first before anything else. That’s what Oliver always tells us,” Jack replied, then paused. “Right, commander?”Oliver was just silent until now.He was analyzing every pros and cons on the battlefield.“Shot them with the bazooka,” Oliver commanded in a serious tone. “It will distract them, and the time would be enough for us to escape.”“I

Everyone followed Jack’s suggestion.Now, they were formulating a plan to infiltrate the base without anyone noticing them.Every second they spent time talking to each other, Zerenette’s life was becoming more in danger.“Ray and Jack, your tasks will be the most crucial here,” Oliver said, his tone serious. “Both of you will ensure our safety as we infiltrate the base.”Ray Parker is the Legion V’s scout. He is known for his stealth skills, which make him move silently and remain undetected in any environment.He is also an expert in reconnaissance, which allows him to gather critical intelligence and scout enemy positions without being noticed.On the other hand, Jack Ferguson is the team’s demolition expert.Known for his explosive and breaching skills, Jack is adept at handling and deploying a wide range of explosive devices. His skill with explosives also includes disarming and neutralizing enemy traps.“Noted, Commander,” Ray affirmed. “I’ll take care of the opponents, and en

Oliver’s expression didn’t falter. Instead, his smirk deepened. “Using someone else to get at me? That only proves how pathetic you are.”He chuckled darkly, and Zayne’s grip on him tightened.“High rank in the military?” Oliver leaned in slightly, his voice dripping with disdain. “Doesn’t mean a damn thing if you don’t have the guts to back it up... You coward.”Zayne’s eyes narrowed, his jaw tightening as the veins in his neck pulsed with fury. Without another word, he delivered a brutal punch to Oliver’s jaw, the impact sharp and resounding in the dimly lit room.“You think you’re tough, huh?” Zayne spat, his voice seething with anger.He shook out his knuckles. “That you can just waltz back into this world like nothing happened?”Oliver’s head snapped back with the force of the blow, but his smirk never wavered. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes, cold and defiant, locked onto Zayne’s.“Keep talking,” Oliver taunted, his voice low and steady despite the m

“I’ll take this,” the man who tied him said as he took the phone from Oliver’s pocket.He turned it off, while he threw the knife he got on Oliver’s waist to the floor.The man, on the other hand, handed Trisha to one of the goons, placing her back on the chair.“I told you that there should be no dirty tricks, but you’re not following me,” the man said, shaking his head. “Or maybe you wanted her to be hurt? She cheated on you, after all.”Oliver grunted and lunged forward, but failed. He was tied, and someone had the knife pointed at Trisha.It was like indirectly telling that one wrong move and Trisha’s life would be in danger.“Never in my life have I thought that you’re still alive, Zero,” the man said, his tone dangerously low.He added, “You disappeared three years ago, and now, I’ll find you in this place? I wonder what a man like you was doing in a shabby town like this.”Although their town also looked good compared to the other villages, it was still inferior to the Capital.
Chapter 46: Instruction
There were two messages sent to Oliver.First is the location where Trisha was staying.The second is a photo of three men looking at Trisha, who is still asleep.“See the lust in their eyes?” the man asked with a smirk. “They’ve wanted to touch Trisha since earlier, but I’m stopping them.”“You bastard…” Oliver muttered, the anger evident in his tone. “Touch her and you’re dead.”Hearing those words made the man chuckle.“Damn, man. You still have feelings for her. You can’t deny that now,” the man said, feeling confident in his statement.Oliver clenched his fists.He knew it wasn’t true, but Trisha’s her ex-wife, after all.“You won’t understand the feeling of being concerned because you’re an asshole in the first place,” Oliver said in a straightforward manner.The man chuckled again, sensing that Oliver was being heated up in their conversation.“Whatever names you will call me won’t matter,” the man said, his tone dark. He added, “Once you shit with me again, not only I’ll scat
