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
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 49: Sacrifice
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. His skill with explosives also includes disarming and neutralizing enemy traps.“Noted, Commander,” Ray affirmed. “I’ll take care of the opponents, and en

“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

“It’s fine for you to beat me up like this, Oliver,” he said, smiling despite his coughing blood. “Because after all, I plan to distract you.”Hearing those words, Oliver froze, being unable to move.“What?”“You heard me right, Oliver,” Melvin smirked. “If I don’t have any plan aside from this, why do you think I’ll be here before you, blowing up my fully hidden cover?”Gritting his teeth, Oliver pulled Melvin on the collar again, looking him intently in the eye.“What the fuck are you talking about?” Oliver asked, his tone dangerously low this time, knowing that the plan could be related to Seraphine—the only witness of their crime.“I-I won’t tell you…” Melvin replied as if it was the only words he knew to say every time someone interrogated him.And no, it doesn’t matter whether he was hurt, tortured, or threatened with death. Melvin was willing to do everything for his brother, despite him turning out as someone beyond his expectations.Oliver smirked, letting go of Melvin. “Alr
Chapter 105: Distract
A realization hit Oliver as soon as he said those words.Those people were just lurking in the shadows, and if Seraphine remembered their faces, they would take her instantly.‘I need to warn her,’ Oliver thought, ready to leave the room.To his shock, a man went to the door, blocking it to prevent Oliver from exiting the janitorial department.“Melvin,” Oliver called, his brows furrowing. “What are you doing?”“You’re curious whether the robbers who stole the drugs that night were employees at the Capital hall, right?” he asked, his lips curving into a smirk.“What if I tell you that you’re in front of one of them now?”Oliver froze upon hearing those words. The betrayal felt like hot water upon his skin.“Yeah. You hear it right. I’m one of them,” said Melvin in a mocking tone. “But I’m not the one who hurt Seraphine. It was the other one—”Before Melvin could finish his sentence, Oliver slammed him to the door, his right hand gripping tightly onto Melvin’s neck.“You bastard!” Oliv
Chapter 104: Inside Job
“Crap,” Seraphine uttered, her hands touching the bruises on her neck, feeling the fear she had at that time.Earlier, she lied to the higher-ups when they asked for her statement.Even though she saw the robbers’ faces, if they asked why she couldn’t remember them, it would blow up something she was trying to hide.The powder on the handkerchief—it was drugs. It was the mere reason she got dizzy after consuming it.Seraphine knew how many people were waiting for her to mess up, so she could throw her from the Capital Hall.This could be the greatest opportunity for those people to fire her from Capital Hall. And that’s the last thing Seraphine wanted to happen.“Wait…” Seraphine suddenly stopped in her tracks, realizing that she overlooked a major detail. “No one saw the CCTV footage?”At that time, she was certain that Oliver already left the storage area, and it meant that the member who helped him, whoever it was, left the Capital Hall as well.‘If that’s the case… could someone

“Let’s end this here. I already knew what’s inside. That’s the most important thing.”That’s what Seraphine heard Oliver say inside a room that was only accessible to her—the only person authorized for the drugs hidden in the Capital hall.But Oliver being inside a restricted room wasn’t the reason for her being frozen.It’s the fact that he could see Oliver Wellington’s face, but the way he moved and talked made her realize it was a different person.A person that was familiar to her since they had been together for a long time.“Oliver… Hunt?” she muttered, her eyes and mouth widening in shock. “Could it be him?”She had her suspicions at first, but she ignored them, thinking that Oliver was just an ordinary person trying to survive.But seeing him right now doing something like this gave Seraphine a painful realization; She was deceived.Pulling her gun, he was about to approach him but stopped when a security guard entered the room and immediately scanned it.Seraphine stooped in
Chapter 102: Her Point Of View
Seraphine struggled against Oliver’s grip, but he held her firmly in place.Her breath was uneven, her chest rising and falling as she glared at him with a mixture of hurt and fury."Let me go," she hissed."Not until you listen to me," he said, his voice unwavering. "I never meant to disappear. I never meant to leave you."Hearing the sincerity in Oliver’s voice, her resolve faltered for a brief moment, but the anger quickly returned."You think saying that will make this right?" she spat. "You vanished, Oliver. For three years, we thought you were dead. Do you know what that did to us?"Oliver's jaw clenched. He had imagined this conversation countless times, but nothing prepared him for the pain in Seraphine’s eyes.He even overlooked the fact that Seraphine said the word ‘us’ instead of ‘me’."I didn’t choose to leave. I was set up," he admitted. "That mission… It was a trap. Someone wanted me dead. And when I woke up, I had no memory of who I was.”Oliver paused, and spoke again,
Chapter 101: Recognizing Him
The call was from Juan, his boss at the Capital Hall. He used a different number and not his personal one.Frowning, Oliver answered the call. “Hello, Sir?”“Oliver! Where are you?”“At home,” Oliver answered, his brows furrowing further as he heard the panic in Juan’s voice. “Why? Did something happen?”“The storage room was infiltrated, and a security guard was dead!” Juan exclaimed in terror. “I heard they took a valuable thing there. Come here quickly! The higher-ups are looking for you!”Oliver sighed. “Alright… I understand.”He ended the call. With confusion evident in his eyes, he looked at Ray.“What happened, Commander?” Ray asked in curiosity.“Someone went inside the storage room and killed the security guard there,” Oliver answered, passing on Juan’s words earlier.He added, “I assume it happened as soon as I and Samuel left the Capital Hall.”“What…” Ray trailed off, remembering the information Oliver had there yesterday. “Could it be about the drugs? Do you think they t
Chapter 100: Reason for Protection
“Anyway, hello, Doc,” James said, greeting Samuel, who also approached him.“Hey,” Samuel replied, patting James on the shoulder. “You look way better than before. I’m glad.”“Thank you.” James smiled, his gaze moving to Oliver.No one spoke between them, and no one even noticed the tension building in their eyes.Seconds later, it was James who broke the silence. “Do you want to say something?”“I’m just trying to find out whether you’re an ally or an enemy,” Oliver answered honestly, looking James in the eye.There’s no way he would ignore his intuition, which tells Oliver to be cautious right now.“Commander,” Ray called, his tone confused. “He’s Jack’s brother. Why are you doubting him?”“I’m not doubting him. I just have questions in my mind,” Oliver told Ray, then his gaze returned to James. “If you have that information, why did you hide it?”“Because I don’t know who to trust,” James answered honestly. He added, “If the government was also involved in this, how can I make su
Chapter 99: A Long Time
Without wasting any time, Oliver ran toward the exit as well, following the person he saw earlier.However, when he went outside, the person he followed was already gone.As much as he wanted to find whoever it was, Oliver decided to leave the Capital Hall instead.Clicking his earpiece, Oliver spoke, “I’m out.”“Jeez.” Samuel sighed in relief. “I’m already on my way toward Nick’s house.”“Alright. I’ll also go there in a few minutes.”Oliver ended the conversation. He walked toward the alleyway, but not toward Nick’s house.But to confront the person who was in front of him right now.Raising his gun, Oliver pointed it at the person wearing all-black clothes with a face mask, staring intently at him.“Who are you?”The man smirked, raising his hands in surrender. “Relax, Oliver. I’m not an enemy. I’m a friend.”Slowly, his right hand went to his face mask and removed it, making Oliver’s eyes widen upon seeing who it was.“James?” Oliver asked, his voice laced with shock and disbelief
Chapter 98: Another Enemy?
Oliver’s hands moved toward the files on the shelves, looking at some folders that would catch his attention.However, after minutes of scanning, he found nothing usable about the Argus Industries.They aren’t even a part of the government, given that it was a private sector.The files only contained the basics. It was the same thing with Zayne Greensmith’s documents.“I wonder why this place is restricted to janitors. There’s nothing to be found here,” Oliver muttered, his brows furrowing.“Maybe that place was only a facade, and the real storage room was somewhere else,” Samuel told him.“Alright. I’ll try looking at the other places,” Oliver said and explored the entire storage room.However, after a minute, he returned to the same place, staring at the old shelf with his brows furrowed.“It’s here. I’m sure of it now,” Oliver muttered, caressing his chin. “This section won’t be a restricted area if they aren’t hiding something in this place.”The employee originally assigned to th
