Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 18: Elevator Card
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
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 19: Top Floor
“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
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 20: Job Offer
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
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 22: Get Even
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
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 23: Recent Contact
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

Rebecca gulped, feeling a little uneasy.‘A woman? And Commander?’ she thought, confused. ‘I haven’t dialed the wrong number, have I?’“Hello?” Rebecca asked, her tone low. “I’m not sure who else to call. It’s about Oliver. Did I… call the right person?”Melissa, who was currently working on the Legion, shifted in her seat. She leaned back, becoming more attentive. “Yes, you did. What happened to him?”“Timothy took him to the bar where we are right now. This is technically his territory, so I don’t have any idea who to ask for help,” Rebecca replied, panic evident in her voice. “I don’t know where exactly they are right now, so I don’t have a full idea of what’s happening. But… I think he’s going to hurt him. Maybe worse.”Silence settled on the other end.For a moment, Rebecca’s heart sank, half-expecting the woman to brush her off. But then Melissa spoke, her voice low and firm. “Alright. Thank you for calling me. I know what to do.”Rebecca smiled in relief. “Thank you. He’s at

Everyone was stunned by the unexpected turn of events. Timothy, who had been threatening to beat Oliver senseless just moments ago, was now kneeling before him!“What the hell is going on?” Trisha asked, staring at Timothy in disbelief. “Why’s he kneeling instead of pounding him?”“I have no damn clue… but this is humiliating!” Jay spat, his jaw clenched. “What’s going on inside that idiot’s head?”“Unbelievable… He even slapped both of you,” Sabrina muttered, glancing at the red marks on Jay’s and Denver’s faces.Denver stayed silent, fists clenched and teeth gritted. The public humiliation burned into him—something he couldn’t easily let go.Sabrina’s gaze shifted back to Timothy, her brow furrowed. “What the hell? Didn’t he recognize you two? Sure, he works in the underworld, but you’re both richer than him!”Jay didn’t respond. It was true, but here, it wasn’t about wealth—it was about influence and power. And in that regard, Timothy outranked them.“Sir Oliver… I’ll apologize

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
Chapter 187: Common Denominator
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
Chapter 185: Message
“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
Chapter 184: Seeing An Old Friend
After a few minutes, Oliver had reached his first destination.No, it wasn’t in Denver or Jay’s house. His plans for returning to town aren't just to buy companies.He wanted to reconnect with his old acquaintances, too.“Thanks,” Oliver told the taxi driver, giving him a few bucks, before he drove away.Now, he was in front of a big house. It has a theme of black, white, and a little touch of silver.It didn’t look like the houses of rich people in town, but at the same time, it exudes elegance and power.Oliver clicked the button beside the black gate, and suddenly, the camera in the middle pointed at him, analyzing his face.“Is this Nathan Stuart’s residence?” Oliver asked on the camera, knowing that a person is looking right through it.But suddenly, a familiar voice cut through the silence.“Who are you?” a man in a baritone asked, the confusion evident in his tone.Oliver turned around, and to be honest, he didn’t need to do that.He already knew who the person talking to him w

“That son of a bitch,” Trisha grunted as she clenched her teeth, wanting to throw her phone on the ground, but decided not to do it.Her phone was expensive, and it’s not that easy for her to buy a new one.“I’m the one approaching him and begging him to come back. This isn’t something I normally do, but for him, I’m even lowering my pride,” she muttered.“Yet this is what I receive?” she added, her words laced with hurt, and her pride shattering. “Who does he think he is to treat me this way?!”In the middle of her rage, her phone vibrated.“Unknown number?” Trisha snorted, her grip on the phone tightening. She added, “Who is it this time? Could it be Oliver again?”Despite the hesitation she was feeling, Trisha answered the call, “Who’s this?”A familiar voice of a man echoed on the other line.“Ouch. You didn’t save my number?”Trisha didn’t even need to ask who it was. She immediately knew it without a doubt.“Denver,” Trisha muttered, gritting her teeth. “We already broke up, so
Chapter 182: Humiliation
Trisha chuckled, but it lacked warmth. “Relax. I’m just making small talk.” She paused. “You know, we used to be together. At the dining table. In the house. Back when we didn’t have so much between us.”Hearing those words, Oliver couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically and shook his head, not taking the bait.“I’ve missed talking to you, Oliver,” she added.“You never talked to me, Trisha,” Oliver answered coldly. “Not even when I tried to reach out to you back then. But talking about it was useless now.”And to be honest, Oliver was glad that it had ended that way.Because of what happened, he was able to return to his real family, Seraphine and Anastasia.“No. It’s alright. Let’s talk about us,” Trisha spoke, her tone pretentiously begging, as she looked Oliver in the eye. “I missed you. I really do.”It was a lie, and Oliver could see right through it.Trisha was only concerned with two things in life: Herself and money. He had learned about it as soon as they divorced.“The only
Chapter 181: Regrets
As Oliver left the hospital and Seraphine returned to the elevator toward the VIP suite, little did they know that someone was watching them from afar.It was Trisha, whose eyes were filled with envy and jealousy, especially upon seeing Seraphine walk away.“Oliver is the father of her child?” she muttered, her eyes and mouth widening in disbelief. “H-How… I still can’t believe they had a daughter…”She had been following Seraphine for a while now, wanting to find any weakness she could to break Seraphine and Oliver’s relationship.Like Seraphine having another sugar daddy, which could make Oliver hate her.But she had found out about their child instead.“Shit. Shit.”The regret instantly consumed Trisha’s body as she covered her mouth, preventing her from gasping hard, as she leaned onto the wall.“If only I let Oliver have sex with me back then, and if we also had a child… He would have treated me the same way,” she muttered, clenching her fists.“I would also have his money. As t
Chapter 180: Leaving For Revenge
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
