Zero: God Of Mercenary 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

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
Zero: God Of Mercenary 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

“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
Zero: God Of Mercenary 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

“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

“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

Oliver looked a bit rough around the edges.He was wearing a tank top soaked with sweat, his sunburned skin and solid muscles on display.Over his shoulders, he balanced two heavy crates filled with fish, easily over 300 pounds between them. Yet, he moved with an effortless stride.Out of nowhere, a rock flew through the air, landing right by his foot and causing him to pause.It had to be those lazy coworkers of his, who always dumped the hardest jobs on him.Before he could spot the culprit, the market boss, Anthony, roared out from across the way.“Oliver! You think I pay you to slack off during work hours?”Yep, Oliver couldn’t even deserver a minute to catch his breath. To Anthony, he was no more than a workhorse.And it wasn’t just Anthony—everyone in town saw him the same way.For two reasons: First, he was an outsider.Second, the real kicker, he’d married the town’s richest beauty, Trisha Henverton.She wasn’t from some grand family, but around here, she was still a step above

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
