“You should be thankful that’s all I did. I could have done worse,” Oliver replied coldly.
His face showed pain, but he held it in.
“How could you lie to me for so long, Trisha? After everything I did for you…”
“Oh, spare me. I gave you the chance to be my husband.” Trisha sneered.
“Do you even realize what kind of life I could have had if I hadn’t been tied to you?”
Each word was like a slap across Oliver’s face.
“I could have lived a life of luxury. But what did I get? A worthless husband who couldn’t even find a decent job,” she added, her voice dripping with scorn.
“I deserve someone like Denver, someone who can give me the life I should have had.”
As she spat out these words, Oliver tightened his hands, struggling to keep his composure.
"I gave you everything I had...
“No matter what luxury you wanted, I worked extra shifts just to buy it for you.
“You wanted more spending money; I gave you every cent I earned…”
Trisha cut him off with a sharp, bitter laugh.
“That wasn’t enough—"
“Everything you had? That was nothing.”
She grabbed something directly throw to his face.
“From now on, you’re no longer welcome in my mansion. Don’t ever show your face here again!” she ordered.
Oliver’s jaw clenched, barely holding back his anger.
“Your mansion? You went broke! I bought it back—with my money!”
“So what?” Trisha laughed, "It's still my mansion, with my family name on it. "
Oliver doesn't know what to say. He had promised her father that he would always take care of her.
“Don’t you even have a heart?” He finally let out words.
Trisha chuckled sarcastically.
“Just get the fuck out of here. I’m finally going to be a Mrs. Rich.”
Oliver recalled her past moments of tenderness and friendliness.
He thought they loved each other. Now he realized they were all just to deceive him into giving her more money.
“You will regret it, Trisha,” He said.
Trisha frowned, looking at Oliver with disgust.
“The only thing I regretted was not finding a rich guy sooner.”
Oliver left the mansion. He walked to the streets, not knowing where to go.
The sky gradually grew dark. Oliver was in a daze, barely aware that he was being surrounded by people.
“Oh, shit.”
Much to his bad luck, it was his co-workers.
“Wow. The great Oliver is right here,” Jackson spoke sarcastically, holding a baseball bat in his right hand.
“Finally, just you and me," he added with a wicked grin.
The group of eight, with Jackson at the helm, burst into mocking laughter.
Oliver tried to sidestep them and continue his way, but three bulky figures stepped in, blocking his path.
"I'm not looking for a fight," Oliver stated, his voice steady and resolute.
"Too bad. We are," Jackson replied with a sneer. "Our boss was real upset with you."
With a sly glance at his crew, Jackson gave a nearly imperceptible nod.
“It would be great to beat you up, not to mention getting 5 bucks for it."
" Teach this punk a lesson!" one of the thugs bellowed, and as one, the group lunged towards Oliver.
Oliver reacted on instinct, his body a well-oiled machine of defense.
Each of his strikes was a bullet of precision and raw power, taking down his opponents with a series of swift, brutal punches.
60 seconds later, the street was littered with the unconscious forms of Jackson's men.
Oliver wasn't sure where his fighting prowess originated, but it felt like a muscle memory etched into his very being.
"Let me through, and you won't get hurt,"
Oliver growled, his gaze locking with Jackson's—the only one left on his feet.
Jackson quaked in his boots, taking a shaky step backward.
"N-No... Stay away from me."
“Oliver!” a voice cut through the chaos.
It was the woman from earlier.
Oliver snapped back to reality, only to find his hand wrapped tightly around Jackson’s neck, cutting off his air supply.
“Damn!” He released his grip, staggering back in shock. “What the hell just happened?”
Before anyone could answer, the woman placed a quick hand hit on Jackson’s neck, making him unconscious.
“Even if he tries to tell anyone about this, they won’t believe a word,”
She said to Oliver, her voice steady and assured.
“Besides, dealing with trash like him is beneath you. It’s like swatting a fly.”
Melissa remarked, a faint, knowing smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
"I saw your fight. It's like your soul remembers the creed you lived by, even if your mind doesn't,"
Oliver met her gaze, his eyes alight with curiosity.
"You... Do you really know me?"
“As of now, I know you more than you know yourself,” she replied with a confident tilt of her head.
She produced a business card from her pocket and handed it to him.
"I'm Melissa, and I'm a hacker in the Legion."
Oliver examined the card, his brow knitting in concentration as he found the company name strangely familiar.
“The Legion is the largest mercenary company, not just in the country, but all over the world. Our work involves protecting clients and, when necessary, eliminating threats,” Melissa explained.
Her eyes gleaming with a fierce determination. With a sly smile, she continued,
“Everyone’s been trying to track you down for years, but I’m glad I found you first. You’re still good at hiding.”
Oliver's brow furrowed in confusion.
“Why would you be looking for me?”
Melissa closed the distance between them, looking Oliver in the eye.
“Because you, Oliver Hunt, was known as Zero, the God of Mercenaries.”

“The God of Mercenaries? What kind of title was that?” Oliver asked, stifling a laugh.“You’re the best of Legion. Hence the title of a God was given to you,”Melissa explained, her tone polite yet respectful.Oliver shook his head.“I know how to fight, but I’m not the man you are looking for.”“I’ve been living in this quiet town for years. The person you described sound way too powerful to be hiding out in a place like this. “It couldn’t possibly be me.”Even as he denied it, doubt crept into Oliver’s heart.Who was he?“That’s why I said you’re not meant for this life,” Melissa responded. “But here, I have something for you.”Melissa pulled something in her pocket.But it wasn’t just any card. This one was red.“This is your card,” Melissa said.“If you take this to Khan, the blacksmith in the Capital, he’ll confirm your true identity.”Oliver took the card, frowning as he examined it.“People with black cards are usually VIPs at banks... but a red one? That’s... interesting,” he

“You stink asshole! We’re done! Don’t make me call the cops!”Trisha screamed, and Oliver just sighed. “Not everything is about you, Trisha. I'm here for the business.”Trisha eyed him from head to toe, her expression full of disdain.“Business? You?” She laughed, shaking her head. “Please! You can’t even afford to walk through those doors. Aren’t you embarrassed?”“Why would I be?”“Because this is a private bank that only serves real VIPs,”The guard standing nearby chimed in, rolling his eyes.Oliver glanced at the guard, unfazed.“Okay, and what if I am one of your top clients?” he asked.The guard raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed.“If you’re a top client, then I’m the President.”“Like a stray dog pretending to be a lion,” Trisha added, smirking. “Stay out here and watch me go inside, loser.”She gave him one last smug look before strutting through the doors and into the bank.Oliver let out a quiet chuckle, then turned to the guard, his voice calm but firm.“Here’s my car
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 6: The Password
“Yes, ma’am,” the staff member nodded,“That card’s extremely rare—no more than 50 exist worldwide. So, the holder is treated as a VVIP at any bank they visit.”Trisha’s eyes widened in shock. She bit her lip, feeling her heartbeat quicken.She had spent years chasing wealth, hopping from one rich man to the next, trying to keep her lavish lifestyle.The inheritance she withdrew every month from her father’s account, was barely enough to keep her lavish lifestyle.‘I’ve only heard about the red card from my father, but I never thought I’d see someone with one…’ Trisha thought, frowning as she processed the revelation.‘But Oliver? Impossible!’Next second, Trisha marched over to Rebecca."Don’t trust this man, Miss. Rebecca! He’s a fraud, trying to scam you!"Rebecca raised an eyebrow, her voice calm but sharp."A fraud? That’s a serious accusation, Miss Trisha.""I’m not accusing him; I’m telling you the truth!" Trisha’s tone grew louder, "He probably found the card on the street, or
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 7: Debt
A billion dollars!What kind of life did I have before I lost my memory?Oliver wondered, staring at the number in disbelief.The wealth alone stunned him, but the password he’d just used intrigued him even more.“It was a birthdate... but whose?” Oliver frowned.Just then, Rebecca broke the silence.“Sir, with a red card, you don’t need to mind your balance, It is practically unlimited. You have full access to funds from any bank,” she explained.Oliver nodded slowly, trying to wrap his head around it.“So, with a balance like this, does that mean I can withdraw money from anywhere?”Rebecca smiled. “Yes, sir. Withdrawals can be made from anywhere in the world.”He frowned, remembering his earlier attempt.“Then why couldn’t I get any cash from the ATM earlier?”Rebecca tapped on her tablet. Her eyes lit up as she found the answer.“The card had been inactive for 3 years, so it was frozen.”Oliver leaned back in his chair.His mind racing.This card is real. That woman wasn’t lying t

Anthony sneered as Oliver put his phone away. “Was that a fake call? Trying to scare me? Really funny.”Oliver remained calm. “You’ll see soon enough. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”Anthony laughed, patting Oliver’s shoulder mockingly. “Cute. Maybe next time, call my mom like a five-year-old.”He walked off, leaving the wreckage behind. Once Anthony was out of sight, Oliver hurried to Nate, who was slumped against a bench. “You okay?”Nate winced, holding his side. “I’ll live. But I’m more worried about losing this job. If I can’t work, I won’t be able to pay for my son’s cancer treatments.”Oliver’s jaw clenched. “Don’t worry. Anthony will pay for this.”Nate shook his head, forcing a weak smile. “You’re a good friend, but Anthony’s too powerful. Don’t make promises you can’t keep.”Oliver sighed. Even if I told Nate who I really am, he wouldn’t believe me.Nate forced a weak smile.“Don't worry about me. I’ll figure something out. But what about you? Your wife will be upset if you

"Of course not," Oliver replied. "It’s my money. Take it. Pay me back whenever you can—no rush, and definitely no interest."Nate’s hands trembled as he stared at the stack of bills, unsure whether to accept.This wasn’t just a loan; it was a life-changing sum.He hesitated, but thoughts of his son's medical bills tipped the scale.With a deep breath, he pocketed the cash."Thank you, Oliver," Nate said, his voice thick with emotion. "I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you.""Everything will work out, Nate. I promise," Oliver said, sincerity in his eyes.Nate smiled, a mix of relief and gratitude softening his expression. "I believe it will, buddy."Somehow, he couldn’t help but replay the image of Anthony trembling in front of Oliver. Who is this guy really? he wondered, but just as quickly dismissed the thought. Nah, if he were someone important, he wouldn’t have tolerated Anthony for this long. He’s just another guy trying to get by.When they reached Nate’s modest house, it showed

Oliver’s heart sank at Carolina’s words. Once upon a time, he’d cleaned her house, taken her to doctor appointments, cooked meals, and spent hours keeping her company. She’d been warm, kind—even motherly. But now, her eyes held only cold disdain, as if they were strangers.Maybe her kindness only be a mask, just a reflection of Cole’s wealth?“Get out of here now!” she spat, her voice sharp as a knife. “Or do you want to get arrested?”A swirl of anguish rose inside him, but Oliver didn’t respond. He turned to leave, but Carolina stepped in front of him, blocking the way.“Leave everything behind!” she snapped, eyes narrowing.“These are my belongings,” Oliver replied. It was just some old clothes in his bag.Carolina took a step closer, contempt twisting her expression.“Are you out of your mind? You don’t deserve a single thing from this house!”Oliver’s frustration flared. Not worth a thing? I paid for this house. Most of the household bills, too.But he didn’t say it. Instead,

Gasps rippled through the crowd, astonished by the exchange between them.Rebecca, known for her beauty and constant refusals, showing up with a “nobody”?“Trash? He’s far better than you,” Rebecca shot back, folding her arms and staring Jay down. “And where are your manners?”Jay sneered. “Manners? I only show those to people who deserve them. Clearly not this poor loser.”He retorted, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “But I’m curious — Why are you even with this guy? Did you find him online and hire him for the night”Laughter echoed from the other guests, nodding in agreement.It made sense; Rebecca would go to such lengths to avoid a real relationship.Jay continued, his tone mocking.“Really, Rebecca if you’re going to hire someone, couldn’t you set your standards a little higher? Even the janitors here are dressed better than him!”“You should have hired me instead of him, Rebecca. I’m the one who truly matches your vibe. This old man couldn't event satisfy you.”But Rebecca didn

Hearing those words, Trisha’s nostrils flared as she gave Oliver a deadly glare.“Did you forget how my father helped you before?” she asked, her tone mocking. “You were dying when he took you to our house. Despite us not agreeing to his decision, he still took you in.”She added, “Not only that, but he even requested me to marry you. Yet you’ll act like that to his only daughter? Don’t you have any shame?”Oliver raised an eyebrow, looking at Trisha with confusion.“Like what you said, it’s your father who helped me,” Oliver repeated, emphasizing every word. “So, why would I show kindness to you?”“Because I’m his daughter!” Trisha exclaimed, her anger already exploding. “Without him, you’ll be dead, and you’ll just be the same pathetic man I chose to leave behind!”Trisha’s words reverberated in the alleyway, and the frustration was now evident in her face.She was so desperate for money. Envy was consuming her nonstop while following Seraphine’s whereabouts on social media.The bea

Both of them became silent for a moment, knowing that Oliver had a dark past with her.A few seconds later, Seraphine smiled, leaning her head onto Oliver’s shoulder.“Don’t worry about it. I forgive you,” she said, her tone genuine.“I even feel sorry for what you endured by her side. I’m sure it wasn’t pleasant.”“It’s not.” Oliver shook his head, remembering how horrible it was.“But all of it was in the past now. I’m not thinking about it that much,” he added.After that, he opened the car door in the passenger seat for Seraphine.But before Seraphine could enter, hurried footsteps followed them.“Oliver, wait!” rang out someone’s breathless and urgent voice behind them.It was Trisha.Upon seeing her, Oliver exhaled through his nose, already tired of whatever game Trisha was trying to play.He turned slightly, his expression hardening as Trisha caught up to them.“Relax! I just want to talk,” Trisha exclaimed, raising both hands in surrender. “I think there is just a misunderstan
Chapter 151: Persistence
Seeing that scenario, Trisha almost stumbled to the ground, feeling like the floor beneath her had crumbled.Oliver turned to her, his gaze playful but sharp. “Still think I can’t afford that bag?” he asked, his voice low yet subtly including mockery.Trisha wasn’t able to answer, and all she could do was stand there with her face pale and body trembling.The reality shattered every lie she had told herself. And the worst part?Oliver knew it.And he was enjoying every second of her downfall.As Trisha remained in her place, Oliver turned to Seraphine, his voice casual.“We’ve wasted enough time here. Let’s go,” he told Seraphine, and the latter nodded in agreement.Oliver talked to the cashier, wanting her to deliver a message.“Tell Michelle that I won’t change my clothes anymore.” His gaze moved toward Trisha. “I don’t like the idea of staying here longer.”Afterward, Oliver held Seraphine’s hand, and they were now ready to leave.But before it could happen, Trisha’s voice suddenl

The entire store fell into an eerie silence. The gasps of onlookers, the murmurs of disbelief, and even Trisha’s heartbeat seemed to freeze as they processed what they had just witnessed.Lady Michelle isn’t just an ordinary person; she is recognized internationally. Not just as a fashion designer but also as a business owner.Trisha had dreamed of being associated with someone like her—yet she was now standing in front of Oliver.And not just standing. Bowing.‘What the hell?’ Trisha raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms as she stared at Michelle intently. ‘Is she bewitched or something?’That is what Trisha wanted to believe, but she knew it wasn’t the case.Michelle’s movement isn’t just an act of respect—but deference.“Mr. Hunt,” Michelle greeted, her voice laced with admiration. “It is an honor to see you here.”Trisha and the other onlookers’ jaws fell, hearing how Michelle treated Oliver. It was as if Oliver was a VIP client himself, although Michelle was more popular than h
Chapter 149: Lady Michelle
Everyone was confused when Oliver suddenly laughed—as if he had just heard a ridiculous thing.Trisha had seen him being humiliated because he was being treated like trash.And in rage because of some circumstances he had experienced.But this was the first time she saw Oliver laughing like crazy, and for some reason, it gave her a different feeling—more anger, frustration, and rage.“What’s so funny?” Trisha asked, her brows furrowing.“You,” Oliver answered, shaking his head as he wiped a fake tear from his eye. “You’re so desperate to tear her down, but you don’t even know the full story.”Trisha narrowed her eyes. “What are you talking about?”Oliver paused for a moment, his gaze scanned the entire area before it returned to Trisha.With a mischievous smirk, he placed a hand on Seraphine’s waist, pulling her closer.“I am Seraphine’s sugar daddy.”Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing those words. They gave Oliver a look of disbelief, while Trisha blinked in surprise.However, aft

“Walking around with your expensive bags, acting all high and mighty. But after all, you’re just a gold digger!” Trisha shouted.A few customers nearby gasped, and the sales associates froze, unsure how to react.Seraphine also felt the same thing. She was shocked as she thumped rapidly, and she was momentarily frozen in place.She tried removing Trisha’s hands that were holding tightly onto her hair, but instead of loosening, the latter’s grip even tightened, her lips curving into a smirk.“No, I won’t let go,” Trisha muttered, pulling Seraphine toward her more. “Do you think you’re superior to me now just because of the sugar daddy you have? No freaking way!”“All the money I spent came from me. The Henverton family is the richest in our town,” she added to brag. “And you? Is the Carter family even rich? No. You’re leeching off to someone else—”Before Trisha could finish her sentence, Seraphine wasn’t able to control herself anymore.She shoved Trisha away with both hands, making h

Seraphine, who was busy looking at the other bags, had her brows furrowed as she looked at the woman in front.“Uh… Hi?” Seraphine greeted, the confusion evident in her tone. “Do you know me?”“Well, who won’t?” Trisha answered, her voice laced with annoyance as she crossed her arms.“You’re famous, Seraphine Carter. Your rank in the Capital increased in such a short time. You got promoted in your job, and…”She looked Seraphine from head to toe, not even hiding the fact that she was judging her.“You look like a decent woman now. Money can really do a lot of things, huh?”Hearing those words, Seraphine couldn’t help but chuckle.‘I was only here to buy a bag for myself, yet someone I don’t even know would disrespect me like this?’ Seraphine thought, her expression laced with disbelief.“Wow. I admire your courage in coming at me although we don’t personally know each other,” Seraphine said, the sarcasm evident in her tone.She added, “Who even are you?”Smirking, Trisha leaned on the

After that conversation, all of them became silent, looking forward to the next execution of their plan.Oliver, on the other hand, had his fingers brush against the necklace in his pocket.The memory of its strange glow lingered in his mind.He didn’t know why it reacted the way it did at the minefield, but one thing was sure.Something was coming, which could be beyond imagination.And this time, Oliver would be ready.***A few weeks later, the Colossia’s capital went back to normal after the situation when Zayne was arrested.The people aren’t talking too much about it as the news was already fading.Although they were still thinking about what happened to Zayne in prison, they aren’t as curious as when the news spread like wildfire.The government, on the other hand, also became stricter with their employees.“Breaking news!

The silence filled their conversation for a while before Nick spoke, realizing something.“Hmm… That’s odd,” Nick muttered, caressing his chin. “When I watch him on the television, it looks like he has a strong aura. Or was that a facade?”“It could be,” Samuel replied, acknowledging the possibility. “After all, we’re now sure that someone higher than Argus Industries was pulling the strings.”Everyone nodded in agreement, except Ray, who gave James a suspicious look.“You’re not lying to distract us from finding the real information, are you?” Ray asked, looking James in the eye.James snorted, almost chuckling in disbelief.“I’m even here, helping all of you to find more information using my skills.” He looked at the monitor.He added, “With these pieces of evidence I’m digging right now, which is already putting my life in danger, do you still think I have reason to lie?”The silence filled the conversation as no one answered James.However, all of them understood Ray’s sentiment.
