“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

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

Trisha and Sabrina stood off to the side, eyes wide with terror as they watched Timothy beat Denver and Jay to a pulp.“My gosh, Trisha… What do we do?” Sabrina whispered, her hands trembling. “Should we try to stop him… or just get out of here?”“We can’t leave, Sab,” Trisha replied, voice low. “Denver might break up with me if I ditch him now. Besides, aren’t you trying to seduce Jay?”Sabrina nodded, managing a faint smirk. “I am, but if someone richer comes along, he’s out the door.”Trisha shook her head with a smile. “Keep dreaming. But until that happens, you’re stuck with Jay and his wallet.”“Right,” Sabrina said, though her face twisted in discomfort as she glanced back at Timothy. “But this… this is terrifying.”They watched in uneasy silence, thankful Timothy’s fury was aimed solely at Denver and Jay. They knew Timothy’s reputation—no one, not even women, was exempt from his wrath if they got in his way. All they could do was endure the scene.After what felt like an eter

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
Chapter 158: Pyramid
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
