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

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

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

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

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,

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
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 164: Secret Door
“Alright,” Oliver answered, looking from left to right, quickly adjusting their vision to the dark.This was part of their training back in the Legion, and lucky for them, the people catching over them were just ordinary guards; they had no skills like Legion V.Because if it is, things might just get more complicated for them. There could be a bloody fight inside Argus Industries.However, since their only goal is to take information about Dominic Hawthorne and Argus Industries, Oliver and Ray do their best to avoid combat.“It’s clear,” Ray muttered as he reached the intersection first, halting just long enough to check both directions. “Let’s go!”Both of them sprinted down the corridor, yet their footsteps were silent against the carpeted floor.“Turn right,” said James on the other line, with his aggressive typing on the keyboard heard in the background. “At the end of the hall, you’ll see a maintenance stairwell.”“Is that exit safe?” Ray asked, his breathing ragged.“To be hone

As soon as they entered the secret door, the enemies swarmed inside the room. But before they could find Oliver and Ray, the wall closed again.The silence filled the entire room for a while as no one spoke.They were only listening to the voices behind the wall, wondering whether those people also knew about the secret room.“All clear,” they heard a young man speak in the storage room. “There is no sign of anyone entering here, Sir.”“Alright,” another man answered—the one that was addressed as ‘sir.’ “Let’s get out of here. They might be hiding in other rooms.”“Yes, Sir.”Both of them heard footsteps running outside the storage room, and a few seconds later, it was gone.That’s the only time Ray could breathe properly.If those people knew about the secret door and his hunch was wrong, then it could be the end of them.“It was so dark in here,” Ray muttered, his gaze fixated in front. “Not even a single light could penetrate the area.”There was no window or other area aside from

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
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

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
