“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

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

Upon seeing what Zayne was trying to show her, Carolina’s body froze.“H-How…” she muttered, her tone laced with confusion. “Why do you have a picture of that necklace?”“The one who kidnapped Trisha sent that to me,” Zayne lied, heaving a frustrated sigh.He added, “At first, I didn’t know what it was, but I suddenly remembered the issue circulated here about the necklace.”The conversation was silent, as Carolina couldn’t find the right words. Even the reporters were shocked, as they had heard about the stealing incident a few weeks ago.Carolina only looked Zayne in the eye, the disbelief evident in her expression.‘I immediately ran onto Oliver as soon as I learned about Trisha being taken by someone…’ Carolina thought, her fists balling.‘And now, this guy is telling me that Oliver is her kidnapper?’If Zayne was telling the truth, that was a strong punch to her pride.She just put Trisha more in danger.“I see. You don’t believe me just yet,” Zayne said, snapping Carolina back

Back at the abandoned warehouse, Zayne was escaping alone as Oliver already beat all his people up.This was the first time he saw Oliver bursting into a rage.It sent shivers onto his spine, knowing Oliver could kill him that moment if he wanted to.“Shit,” Zayne groaned, feeling the pain traveling onto his body.Broken ribs, aching muscles, and some bruises and wounds.None of them were comparable for the intense aura Oliver showed with his eyes.And Zayne felt that everything happened because of him.‘I need to report this, and take those injured men to the hospital,’ Zayne thought.Taking his phone, Zayne was about to dial someone’s number.He looked at the sky, and he stopped on his tracks upon noticing something.“What the fuck?” Zayne asked, seeing a bomber flying at the top of the warehouse. “Shit. Fucking shit!”Zayne ran toward the exit, but he hadn't even run that far when the bomb dropped.BOOM!“Ugh!” Zayne groaned as the bomb’s impact dragged him away.His back hit the w

“Melissa,” Oliver spoke, answering the call.“Did I get your signal right, Commander?” Melissa asked, the hesitation evident in her tone. “I saw your hand gesture.”Oliver made that hand gesture while fighting with Zayne’s men.He remembered doing that whenever he needed to have silent commands and hoped that Melissa would understand it.Gladly, she did.“Yes,” Oliver answered. “Anyway, I need a chopper.”Melissa smiled. “On it, Commander.”Only a few seconds later, a helicopter landed a short distance before him.A man went down and kneeled in front of Oliver. “I’m glad that you’re back, Commander Zero.”Oliver only nodded in response, acknowledging his presence.“Hendrick,” Oliver called, then gave Trisha to him. “Bring her to the hospital, and inform Carolina Henverton that she’s safe.”He added, “You can make it seem like you’re her rescuers, right?”“We can,” Hendrick reassured. “But Commander, aren’t you going with us? You’re injured, and you need immediate treatment—”“I can ha

Zayne faltered, his hands trembling against the baton he was holding.‘I knew his presence was overwhelmingly strong, but this is the first time I’ve seen his eyes like this,’ Zayne thought, looking at Oliver’s face.The anger was evident in Oliver’s eyes, sending shivers down Zayne’s spine.Zayne tried masking his fear with anger. But it was too late. Oliver could sense the cold bite of fear in him.“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue now?” Oliver asked, raising an eyebrow. “Where’s the arrogance you had earlier? And why are your hands shaking?”“T-This…” Zayne looked at his hand, and he seemed pathetically scared. “Shit. Damn you, Oliver!”Zayne swung his baton, but before it landed on Oliver’s face, the latter caught it with his right hand.“W-What the?” Zayne asked in confusion, looking at Oliver’s hands—which were now untied. “How?”His gaze stopped at the blade Oliver was holding; a blade.“You didn’t really think I’d let you beat me up without having a backup plan, didn't

“Jack!” Ray called, trying to snap Jack back to his senses. “Don’t do something the commander didn’t instruct us to do!”But Jack pretended not to hear anything.He still paved the way toward the minefield, carrying something on his shoulder.“I’ll borrow your bazooka for a while, Nick,” Jack said, positioning himself with the bazooka on his side. “You can buy another one after this, can’t you?”“Jack Ferguson! You shit!” Nick cursed on the other line, seeing how serious Jack was about what he was going to do.He added, “Don’t you love your life anymore? What about your younger brother? Are you going to leave him just like this?”“The mission comes first before anything else. That’s what Oliver always tells us,” Jack replied, then paused. “Right, commander?”Oliver was just silent until now.He was analyzing every pros and cons on the battlefield.“Shot them with the bazooka,” Oliver commanded in a serious tone. “It will distract them, and the time would be enough for us to escape.”“I

Everyone followed Jack’s suggestion.Now, they were formulating a plan to infiltrate the base without anyone noticing them.Every second they spent time talking to each other, Zerenette’s life was becoming more in danger.“Ray and Jack, your tasks will be the most crucial here,” Oliver said, his tone serious. “Both of you will ensure our safety as we infiltrate the base.”Ray Parker is the Legion V’s scout. He is known for his stealth skills, which make him move silently and remain undetected in any environment.He is also an expert in reconnaissance, which allows him to gather critical intelligence and scout enemy positions without being noticed.On the other hand, Jack Ferguson is the team’s demolition expert.Known for his explosive and breaching skills, Jack is adept at handling and deploying a wide range of explosive devices.

Oliver’s expression didn’t falter. Instead, his smirk deepened. “Using someone else to get at me? That only proves how pathetic you are.”He chuckled darkly, and Zayne’s grip on him tightened.“High rank in the military?” Oliver leaned in slightly, his voice dripping with disdain. “Doesn’t mean a damn thing if you don’t have the guts to back it up... You coward.”Zayne’s eyes narrowed, his jaw tightening as the veins in his neck pulsed with fury. Without another word, he delivered a brutal punch to Oliver’s jaw, the impact sharp and resounding in the dimly lit room.“You think you’re tough, huh?” Zayne spat, his voice seething with anger.He shook out his knuckles. “That you can just waltz back into this world like nothing happened?”Oliver’s head snapped back with the force of the blow, but his smirk never wavered. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes, cold and defiant, locked onto Zayne’s.“Keep talking,” Oliver taunted, his voice low and steady despite the m

“I’ll take this,” the man who tied him said as he took the phone from Oliver’s pocket.He turned it off, while he threw the knife he got on Oliver’s waist to the floor.The man, on the other hand, handed Trisha to one of the goons, placing her back on the chair.“I told you that there should be no dirty tricks, but you’re not following me,” the man said, shaking his head. “Or maybe you wanted her to be hurt? She cheated on you, after all.”Oliver grunted and lunged forward, but failed. He was tied, and someone had the knife pointed at Trisha.It was like indirectly telling that one wrong move and Trisha’s life would be in danger.“Never in my life have I thought that you’re still alive, Zero,” the man said, his tone dangerously low.He added, “You disappeared three years ago, and now, I’ll find you in this place? I wonder what a man like you was doing in a shabby town like this.”Although their town also looked good compared to the other villages, it was still inferior to the Capital.

There were two messages sent to Oliver.First is the location where Trisha was staying.The second is a photo of three men looking at Trisha, who is still asleep.“See the lust in their eyes?” the man asked with a smirk. “They’ve wanted to touch Trisha since earlier, but I’m stopping them.”“You bastard…” Oliver muttered, the anger evident in his tone. “Touch her and you’re dead.”Hearing those words made the man chuckle.“Damn, man. You still have feelings for her. You can’t deny that now,” the man said, feeling confident in his statement.Oliver clenched his fists.He knew it wasn’t true, but Trisha’s her ex-wife, after all.“You won’t understand the feeling of being concerned because you’re an asshole in the first place,” Oliver said in a straightforward manner.The man chuckled again, sensing that Oliver was being heated up in their conversation.“Whatever names you will call me won’t matter,” the man said, his tone dark. He added, “Once you shit with me again, not only I’ll scat
