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

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

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

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

“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

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

The next thing Legion V needed to find out was the reason for the partnership.“You’re right, but trust is earned, not given,” Oliver said, his eyes burning with determination.“And we’re going to see whether Charlie is deserving of that trust or not.”***Meanwhile, Dominic had just returned to Argus Industries.He was out of Colossia earlier to meet with a client, but he ended it abruptly upon receiving a text message from his right-hand man.[Argus Industries has been compromised. There were intruders in the building.]“Shit,” Dominic muttered a curse as someone opened the door for him.He entered the building, and he was immediately followed by five bodyguards on the back.One of Dominic’s managers, who was in charge of the top floor, went onto him, immediately keeping up with the pace.“What’s the situation?” Dominic asked, his walk calm yet urgent.“We lost the intruders, Sir,” the manager said, his voice low. He added, “They used an exit from the west wing—a location that wasn

Ray struck first, driving his elbow into the nearest guard’s temple. The man crumpled without a sound before losing consciousness.Oliver went to the second guard, twisting his arm behind his back before slamming him against the wall.The man groaned in pain, but Oliver’s hand clamped over his mouth to prevent being heard by the other guards possibly monitoring the hallway.“Don’t move. Don’t speak,” Oliver commanded as he leaned in, his voice low. “If you value your life, you’ll stay low.”Nodding frantically, the guard looked at Oliver, with his eyes widening.At first, Oliver hesitated to hurt the guard. After all, these two were ordinary guards patrolling the exit.However, a few seconds later, he knocked the guard out. They didn’t have time for risks.“Damn. I thought you’d let him be,” Ray teased, shaking his head.Oliver smirked. “Not a chance.”With the guards down, they both moved to the loading dock door.“We’re already outside, waiting for you two,” Samuel’s voice came t

James typed aggressively onto his keyboard, looking at the third door’s password.“Be quick, James,” Nick said, looking onto the sniper scope. “Another batch of security is going through the storage room.”Instead of answering, James clicked on the information he found onto the screen.“The password is encrypted—”“No, it’s not,” Ray interrupted, already turning the handle. “The lock’s broken.”“That’s suspicious,” Samuel muttered. “And that could be a trap, Commander.”Oliver gritted his teeth. His gaze moved between the three doors and even on the pathway that would bring them back to the abandoned storage room.‘All of them had different risks, and the second door could be detrimental to our health as we’re unsure about the chemicals in the air,’ Oliver thought, frowning.He pondered for a few seconds. After that, he pushed the door open, revealing another narrow path—almost identical to the path they had walked onto earlier.The only difference is that this other path has yellow

“Got it. I already have a location where you are,” James told them after a few seconds.With his brows furrowing, Ray asked, “You mean, this secret passageway?”“Yeah.” James nodded although no one could see him. “That place isn’t in the main schematics, but I found a record of it in the archives.”He added, “If the record I can see here is this accurate, then there should be three doors in front of you.”Oliver and Ray looked at their front and realized that James was right. In front of them were three metal security doors with combination locks.“There is,” Oliver said, frowning in confusion. “This could… Is there more danger to it than fighting with the enemies outside?”“To be honest, I don’t know,” James admitted as he did his best to search for more information about the secret passageway.“There could only be two reasons,” Samuel said, preparing to leave. “Either that place was their old escape route…”“...Or they’re still using it for whatever reason, and that’s why they didn’

As soon as they entered the secret door, the enemies swarmed inside the room. But before they could find Oliver and Ray, the wall closed again.The silence filled the entire room for a while as no one spoke.They were only listening to the voices behind the wall, wondering whether those people also knew about the secret room.“All clear,” they heard a young man speak in the storage room. “There is no sign of anyone entering here, Sir.”“Alright,” another man answered—the one that was addressed as ‘sir.’ “Let’s get out of here. They might be hiding in other rooms.”“Yes, Sir.”Both of them heard footsteps running outside the storage room, and a few seconds later, it was gone.That’s the only time Ray could breathe properly.If those people knew about the secret door and his hunch was wrong, then it could be the end of them.“It was so dark in here,” Ray muttered, his gaze fixated in front. “Not even a single light could penetrate the area.”There was no window or other area aside from

“Alright,” Oliver answered, looking from left to right, quickly adjusting their vision to the dark.This was part of their training back in the Legion, and lucky for them, the people catching over them were just ordinary guards; they had no skills like Legion V.Because if it is, things might just get more complicated for them. There could be a bloody fight inside Argus Industries.However, since their only goal is to take information about Dominic Hawthorne and Argus Industries, Oliver and Ray do their best to avoid combat.“It’s clear,” Ray muttered as he reached the intersection first, halting just long enough to check both directions. “Let’s go!”Both of them sprinted down the corridor, yet their footsteps were silent against the carpeted floor.“Turn right,” said James on the other line, with his aggressive typing on the keyboard heard in the background. “At the end of the hall, you’ll see a maintenance stairwell.”“Is that exit safe?” Ray asked, his breathing ragged.“To be hone

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,

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
