“Sure. I’ll be in your company in a few minutes.”Oliver ended the call and took the cab toward the Williams Corporation.When he arrived, the employees looked at him with judgment and disgust, but Oliver ignored them.“I have an appointment with Ryan Williams,” Oliver told the receptionist.The receptionist smiled, recognizing Oliver.“Yes, Sir. Mr. Williams already informed us about it,” she said, giving him an elevator card—just like before. “You can use this card every visit, so you won’t need to repeat this process.”Oliver looked at her in confusion but decided not to ask more about it. “Thanks.”“You’re very much welcome,” the receptionist replied and bowed. “Take care, Sir.”He nodded and went inside the elevator, ignoring the other people’s shocked expression while looking at him.All of them were aware of Oliver’s issue of theft, due to how poor he was.But why did someone such as Ryan Williams side with him?***A few minutes later, the elevator stopped at the top floor—wh

Hearing Oliver’s words, Denver’s brows furrowed in shock and anger.He took Oliver’s phone and saw the call connected to Jay.“Jay?” Denver spoke upon putting the phone on his ear. “Why did you exchange numbers with this shit?”“I didn’t. He was the one who called me,” Jay answered coldly. “But that wasn’t important now. How could you compete with me?”Denver chuckled sarcastically. “Compete? You’ve got to be kidding me. I’m not even in your league in the first place.”“Hah…” Jay scoffed and clenched his fists. “Did you only befriend me because you have gained benefit from me?”“Jay,” Denver called his name in a dangerously low tone. “You’re making me the villain here. Shouldn’t you be glad that I talked to you in the first place?”Jay didn’t answer on the other line.It made Denver smirk as he continued, “Your family may be rich, but you’re a bastard. If not for me, who would talk to or even date you?”“I may be a bastard, but I treated you as a friend, Denver…” Jay told him, the pain
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 43: Another Chance
Carolina showed him the phone screen.She was right. According to the call history, Oliver was the last person Trisha had a conversation with.But that isn’t what took Oliver’s attention. “What made you think I kidnapped Trisha?”“Seriously… You’re asking me that question?” Carolina asked, her voice laced with disbelief. “It was because of that necklace. Are you that petty to take it back from her?”Oliver paused as his brows furrowed, then asked, “Someone stole the necklace?”“Hah. Why are you making it sound like it’s not you?” Carolina scoffed and crossed her arms.“Because it’s not me,” Oliver answered without hesitation.Seeing how Oliver was denying the accusation, Carolina became hysterical. “According to a witness, someone pulled the necklace from my daughter’s neck, and took her in a white van! And now, you’re telling me it’s not you?!”“Yes.” Oliver nodded. “Your statements don't even prove any evidence that it was me who orchestrated the kidnapping.”Carolina pointed at hi

Trisha’s brows furrowed. “How?”“Simple. Just answer all the questions I have regarding your ex-husband.” He smirked. “Once you answer it right, I might spare you. But if not…”The man left his threat in the air.It made Trisha gulp, her gaze moving between the man and the goons surrounding her.“First question,” he said, his body leaning toward Trisha. “How long has that ex-husband of yours had that necklace?”“I-I don’t know!” Trisha answered honestly, the fear evident in her eyes. “That necklace belonged to my father, and… and…”“And what?” the man asked, his gaze darkening. “Cole Henverton is one of Oliver’s allies?”“No!” Trisha denied it immediately. “M-My father only saved Oliver when she found him in the river before. W-We don’t have any relation to him!”The man smirked upon hearing Trisha’s explanation.“So someone saved him, huh… That’s why he survived,” he said in a dangerously low tone. “Then, did Oliver tell you something after Cole saved him?”“L-Like what?”“A mission…

Oliver’s brows furrowed upon seeing the caller.It has the same number on his call history—the one who called him repeatedly while his phone was broken.‘Only a few people know my number,’ Oliver thought, knowing he doesn’t give his number just to anyone.Then, he realized something. ‘Could it be…’Without hesitation, Oliver answered the call. “Who is this?”“Finally, Oliver. You answered the call,” a man said on the other line, his voice low and intimidating. “What took you so look, anyway? I almost killed Trisha because I’m pissed.”Oliver froze. “You’re the one who took Trisha
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 46: Instruction
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

“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.

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

Those words piqued Oliver’s curiosity. So, with his brows furrowing, he asked, “How?”Rebecca looked at Nate, as if she was saying that it wasn’t her story to tell.Nate cleared his throat and drank his beer. Unlike what Oliver was expecting, Nate looked smug, feeling proud of what he was about to tell him.“Well, you know that as I climbed the corporate ladder at Williams Corporation, I somehow dealt with the toxic employees there,” Nate stated.Oliver nodded. “Of course. Even when we’re working at the wet market before, we experienced that,” he said.“Right.” Nate agreed. “And one time, I noticed that there were discrepancies with the company’s funds. It wasn’t matching accurately with the statements, which immediately gave me suspicions about something.”He paused, then spoke again, “Someone’s stealing the company funds. And I need to know who it was.”“So, what did you do?” Oliver asked, his interest getting bigger now.Nate didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he leaned on the cha

Rebecca let out a deep sigh. “I just think this is suicide, Oliver.”She added, explaining her words, “You can’t get anything from it. Not brand reputation, money, or influence. Nothing.”Oliver couldn’t help but laugh a little upon hearing her sentence.“No, I’m telling you. It’s not,” Oliver answered, shaking his head although Rebecca couldn’t see him.“Financially, it could look like that. But I have a deeper reason for this acquisition, Rebecca, something that isn’t stupid,” he added, his tone now low and serious.Rebecca blinked in surprise, not expecting the sudden shift in Oliver’s tone.“That’s all I can tell you for now,” Oliver said before Rebecca could even ask a question. “But I promise, you’ll know about all of it soon.”The silence filled their conversation as Rebecca didn’t answer immediately.Her fingers tightened around the pen she hadn’t even realized she was holding, thanks to Oliver for always giving her something to think about.Finally, she exhaled slowly.

Chapter 191: Vows Of Vengeance
Oliver had booked a penthouse, not to flex his wealth, but because it was the safest, and it was also the room Ryan recommended.Still, he checked every part of that room, whether there were hidden cameras, suspicious things, or even a bomb that could kill him on the spot.“None.” Oliver sighed in relief, seeing that nothing could bring him harm.That was the moment he could finally place his luggage on the side and sit on the edge of the bed, his breath panting.There was still the adrenaline from earlier, and no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t get his mind off it, especially with what he shared.Suddenly, his phone rang, which snapped Oliver from his thoughts for a moment.“Ryan,” Oliver spoke upon answering the call.“One of my people informed me that you’re already at the hotel,” Ryan said on the other line, his tone ingratiating yet still authoritative. “How’s the penthouse to your liking?”“It’s great,” Oliver answered, his tone laced with sincerity. “Also safe.

His boss had his brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”“With the intensity of his kick, I almost thought that he wasn’t a human,” the man explained, his voice low.“It’s like he possesses extraordinary strength.”The silence filled the conversation as his boss didn’t answer.However, his boss clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, pondering upon something deeper, something that the man couldn’t decipher.“This is bad. He should be weaker as time went by, not stronger,” his boss said, his voice dangerously low.“What could be triggering him?”“Sir?” the man asked, not being able to follow through his boss’ mumbles.“Nothing.” His boss shook his head. “Is there anything else you noticed about him?”The man didn’t answer immediately as he caressed his chin, his eyes narrowing as he returned to the scenario earlier.“He looks younger,” the man mumbled. “Three years have passed. He should have aged as it was a long time, but he didn’t…”His voice trailed off, not because he didn’t know
Chapter 189: First and Last Warning
Oliver also felt it toward his body, the adrenaline rushing through his veins. But he could still manage it, although he didn’t know exactly what he was controlling.“Seeing your movements, I know that you’re not just some hired thug,” Oliver muttered, his eyes and voice sharp. “Light footwork, fast movements, physical combat skills…”He looked at the man intently, his eyes narrowing as he played with his knife.“A military, or maybe ex-special forces?”Instead of answering, the man smirked, yanking down his face mask, revealing a thin scar slashing across his jawline.“As expected from you, Zero,” the man spoke, his smirk widening. “But do you want to know how I got this scar?”He stood up properly, removing his bonnet this time, as he looked Oliver in the eye.“You did that with your fucking knife, Zero,” he said, his voice edged with something darker. “You slashed my jaw, yet you dared not to remember it?”Hearing those words, Oliver smirked.He pretended to be trying to remember
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
