Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 75: Hesitation
Oliver didn’t answer, but his brows furrowed, understanding what Ryan was saying.“You also think about it.” It wasn’t a question from Ryan, but a statement. “Internalize all his answers from earlier. Something was strange.”“I know,” Oliver admitted, then massaged his forehead. “But he’s a close friend of mine. I don’t think he will betray me.”Ryan smiled and shook his head.“I didn’t say that he betrayed you, Oliver. I’m just saying he’s strange,” Ryan said, trying to lessen the negative thoughts.“Maybe there’s another reason—something only you can ask,” he added. “Although he brought u

Realizing the situation, Ray cursed in his mind and moved quickly to save Ryan.He did, although they were still somehow caught in the explosion.“If only I decided quickly, not only would I save Ryan, but I would also manage to retrieve that document,” Ray confessed, sighing. “Leaving that envelope isn’t a part of my plan. It may be hard to believe, but I’m telling the truth.”Ray looked away. It hurt him that Oliver was doubting his loyalty, but Ray couldn’t blame him.His reactions and movements may be suspicious to everyone else, but that’s just him being extra careful.“I trust you, but I have a hard time trusting the people around you,” said Ray in a low tone. “But I know I did the wrong thing by almost letting him die. I’m sorry.”Oliver smiled, patting Ray on the shoulder. “You don’t need to apologize to me. I’m not the one you hurt. It should be Ryan.”“Right…” Ray showed a small smile. “I should, so I can clear up our misunderstandings as well.”With Oliver nodding, the sile

“That is why I need to go back as soon as possible,” Melissa added as she stood up. “I’m sorry. I’ll go back as soon as it’s done.”“No worries,” Oliver reassured. “You should go now.”“Thank you, Commander.”Melissa didn’t waste any more time. She went to the helicopter and used it to fly back to the Legion.“You should also take a rest now, Ryan,” commanded Oliver in a gentle tone. “So you could return to the Williams Corporation in no time.”“I understand.” Ryan nodded before going back to his room with Ray accompanying him.With his observant nature, Ryan immediately understood that Oliver wanted him out of the picture for now so he and Ray could talk alone.‘They are teammates, and they have been working with each other’s sides for a long time,’ Ryan thought.‘But why is something bothering me? Why do I feel like a crucial thing is missing?’“I heard that Legion V saved you before,” Ray said, snapping Ryan from his thoughts. “But is that enough reason for you to be loyal to our c
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 78: Rumored Path
“Do you think the idea came from me? I don’t even know how Oliver thinks, nor how the Legion moves,” Zayne’s boss said upon answering the call.“What?” Zayne asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. Then, he realized something.“This idea… came from our ally from the Legion itself?”“Right,” his boss confirmed. “He is helping you by limiting Oliver’s movements for now as they didn’t have a backup, so you can move freely.”He added, “I didn’t know why he was doing this, even though I reported the mistake you made by having Ryan Williams killed. But I guess you should take it as a second chance.”“Maybe he realized that it should be done, and it wasn’t a mistake,” Zayne said, his tone slightly arrogant.“Anyway, if that’s all, I’ll end the call now.”And before his boss could argue, Zayne already ended the call.That was the first time Zayne did it, and it felt liberating. After following all of his boss’ orders, he finally managed to break free.“Who cares about him if I have the main
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 79: Dark Forest
Together, the three of them started walking toward the dark forest.“Are you sure about this, Oliver?” Ryan asked, his heart thumping as he saw how creepy the forest was. “We can go back and ask for a helicopter instead.”“That will be dangerous,” Oliver answered. “Besides, no one knows if they would make it here alive.”Ryan nodded. Oliver was right. The storm hit their place, making it harder for helicopters to fly.It even gave them difficulty walking in the forest as the path became slippery.But if Oliver is determined to cross that path, no one can stop him; neither do they.“From what I’ve heard before, we could re
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 80: The Smell of Betrayal
The Ogre’s eyes widened in shock, not because Oliver interrupted him.Oliver used the same language as him.“You have been betrayed before, and it’s the reason why you lose trust in humans. I understand that,” Oliver said.“But not all humans are the same.”‘Not only he could understand and speak our language. He’s also fluent in it…’ the Ogre thought, amused and shocked at the same time.‘H-How could this happen?’ “Are you one of us?” the Ogre couldn’t help but ask. “No one understands our language. How could you?”To be honest, Oliver didn’t know how to answer that question.Suddenly, he could understand and even speak the language he couldn’t remember studying.But one thing is for sure.“I’m human,” Oliver answered, his tone confident. “And we just wanted to pass through the other town using this shortcut. Nothing else.”The Ogre looked at him with confusion and suspicion in his eyes.He still couldn’t believe it. Humans, after all, are scumbags who always look at them like they’
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 81: Another Ally
Ogres like him have the ability to detect emotions from the people a human has connections with—all of them.The only limitation is, they have a hard time using that power to the person they were talking with.Oliver nodded, appreciating the warning. “I’ll keep that in mind.”After that, he bid his goodbye, while Ray and Ryan followed him inside the cave.The silence arose in the air. Only the sound of the bats could be heard as no one between the three of them was talking.‘Betrayal, huh…’ Oliver thought, his brows furrowing. ‘Whoever is that traitor, I'll make sure I find out one day.’“Ryan,” Oliver called as they saw the light at the end of the cave. “Be careful when you go back to your company. Heighten your security.”“Alright,” Ryan affirmed.“Also, once you see the evidence you discovered before someone tried to kill you, give it to me immediately.Ryan nodded.“And Ray,” Oliver called, and Ray became attentive listening to his next words. “Make sure you’ll be prepared. We’r

Ryan was curious about who Oliver was talking about but didn’t ask more questions.“Alright,” he said, then smiled. “Just call me if you have other commands, and if you need some help. I can use my connections, too.”“I know, and I appreciate it,” Oliver replied. “But you need to lie low for now.”He added, “Zayne might have a hard time getting you killed, but he could still find some ways to take you down. Be careful.”“I will.”Oliver ended the call afterward.He was in the Umbrella Bank’s bathroom, ensuring no one could eavesdrop on their conversation.Latest Chapter
Chapter 178: Superhero
“Oliver,” Seraphine called, her brows furrowing.Hearing her mention his name made Oliver’s heart skip a bit.But then, he turned in her direction and smiled. “Why, Sera?”“Are you hiding something from me again?”That question caused Oliver’s smile to fade.‘I knew it. Seraphine had a good perception, or maybe it’s because we’ve been together for a long time,’ he thought.Oliver added, ‘It’s really hard to hide some things from her.’So, he decided to be honest with her about it.While walking toward the hallways, Oliver explained.“To be honest, I don’t know how I can explain it, or whether you’ll believe me or not,” he said in a low tone.“But the necklace I always have with me suddenly had a light on its pendant. And… poof. The light exploded.”He created a sound effect of an explosion, and his hands also re-enacted the same thing.“It didn’t hurt, but at the same time, I felt like something had changed within me,” he added. “I feel lighter and stronger in a way I can’t explain.”
Chapter 177: The Game Had Changed
“Shit, shit,” James muttered in panic, checking if the computer was still functioning or not.James opened the computer again and sighed in relief upon seeing that it still worked.“Damn, I thought I unintentionally destroyed it,” James grumbled, wiping the sweat on his forehead. “Fuck. That was close.”“Run through the entire computer and double-check whether that bastard managed to get on the security,” Oliver commanded.Then, he looked at Nick. “Help him double-check everything.”“Yes, Commander,” Nick affirmed.The silence filled their conversation as no one spoke afterward.But they could feel the tension arising in the air, especially with Oliver’s sudden shift in his expression.Sitting on the chair next to James, both of them started to check whether they had been compromised or if the enemy had managed to get through their computer or not.A few minutes later, Nick spoke, “There’s nothing. Our line is clean.”James sighed, leaning his back on the chair.“I don’t think their g
Chapter 176: Light Explosion
Nick stood up and entered Oliver’s room, whose door was slightly open.Knocking thrice on the door, he called, “Commander?”The silence followed as Oliver didn’t answer.It caused Nick to push the door open, his movements rushed.He saw Oliver standing in the middle of the room, unmoving.His hand was clenched around the necklace, his eyes wide, but his breathing steady.Too steady.The kind of calm that came after a rush of something overwhelming.“What was that light just now?” Nick asked, his tone half-joking but laced with genuine concern. “Was that magic or something?”Oliver didn’t reply.His gaze moved from the necklace toward Nick, staring at him for a moment.As soon as they locked eyes, Nick felt something different on his body.‘I knew that Oliver’s presence was overwhelming from the start, and it was different from us,’ Nick thought. ‘But what’s with him today?’Involuntarily, the chills sent down his spine.“I’m just joking,” Nick added, forcing a laugh. But it sounded to

“If that happens, we don’t need to infiltrate Argus Industries again as they would have higher security starting today,” Oliver added.Nodding, Samuel muttered, “As they move the files, that would be our greatest opportunity to attack.”“Exactly.” Oliver clicked his tongue.Nick, on the other hand, had his eyes narrowed at what he heard.“I thought we got all the information,” said Nick. “You saw the research and development facility, the illegal drug transactions, and even the partnership—”"That's the thing I have the most bad feeling with," Oliver spoke before Nick could finish his sentence.Oliver knew Charlie more than the rest of the Legion V members.‘Charlie doesn’t make decisions that he doesn’t think through carefully,’ he thought. ‘So, there must be a reason for his consideration.’“Uhm… Why don’t I ask Charlie instead?” suggested James as if it were that easy to do. “You know, I’m not banned like Legion V.”Hearing those words, Ray’s lips curved into a smirk.“Man, don’t
Chapter 174: Instilling Fear
“Enough.” Oliver leaned against the doorway, arms crossed.A slight smirk tugged at his lips.“You can argue about coffee and liver damage later. Right now, we need to go over what we pulled from Argus Industries.”Oliver tried to make his voice calm and teasing, making sure he won’t completely ruin the vibe.However, Samuel, who was the most observant in their group, noticed the expression Oliver was trying to conceal.Fear. Worry. Anger.‘But not toward Legion V,’ Samuel thought, and he was certain about it. ‘Maybe it was because of what they found in the office.’“Ugh,” Nick groaned, dramatically flopping onto the couch.He added, “Commander, do we have to do work stuff already as soon as we reach the hideout? Can’t we pretend to be normal for like… five minutes?”Oliver raised an eyebrow.“You want normal? Then join a book club,” he answered as he also sat on the couch. “Now sit up.”Ray chuckled into his cup while Samuel, whose thoughts about Oliver faded, tried not to laugh.Eve
Chapter 173: After The Mission
A few hours later, the Legion V arrived at Nick’s house, which they still use as their hideout.“We’re here,” Samuel stated, clicking a button on the van.In an instant, the van’s color immediately changed from black to white, the same as the plate number on the back.It was one of Samuel’s inventions; this was the first time he used it on a mission.“Damn, that was so incredible!” Nick exclaimed in amusement, his eyes widening as he looked at the car’s interior.Just like the car’s exterior, its interior also changed.Nick added, “If someone sees this, no one would think this is the same van… Or is it?”“It is,” James answered, clicking his tongue as he held onto his phone, playing games. “The car really hasn't changed. It was only an illusion. But if you look closely…”James’ face leaned toward the window, his eyes narrowing.“It was still the same car. The exterior and interior, everything.”Upon hearing those words, Samuel smirked.“You really have a keen eye just like your broth
Chapter 172: No Matter The Cost
“They might have replicated it.”That was Dominic’s realization as his gaze fixated on the folder, his eyes narrowing.“Oliver might not have taken the file, but it doesn’t mean he didn’t know about the information already.”The file was already on his fingertips. He could have just taken it instead of only creating a copy of it.Which means there could be a reason.‘He wanted me to be worried and wonder how much he knew,’ Dominic thought, clenching his fists.And damn, that was so effective.At that moment, there is only one question going through Dominic’s mind, and that is where he should transfer the files so no one else could find it again.***Meanwhile, at the Legion’s headquarters, Charlie was sitting on the chair with both his feet resting on the table.Tons of files were in front of him—something he needed to review as the CEO before the company makes a move on it.And the current file in his hand… was all about what Dominic had given to him a few days before.[Partnership B
Chapter 171: Third File
[Zerenette Lakovia and Confidential Protocol.]If they fall into the wrong hands, those files could destroy everyone, including Dominic and everything he built, in a flash.And the wrong hands he was talking about were Oliver and the whole Legion members, not necessarily the Legion V itself.“They had managed to infiltrate Argus Industries…” Dominic muttered, biting his lower lip. “Although it would take a longer time before they come back, eventually, they will.”It’s not a question of whether they will infiltrate again; it's only a matter of time.Pulling the files out of the vault, Dominic whispered, “I need to take care of this before everyone finds it.”It includes the person who called Dominic earlier—his boss.Little did everyone know that although Dominic was obeying all their commands, a part of him wanted to cut all his connections from Argus Industries.But the higher-ups won’t let him do that, so he decided to make those files as leverage, a trade he could use against anyo
Chapter 170: Insignia
Dominic’s boss was still unconvinced.Although the intruders stayed in the Research and Development Department for a short time, he didn’t believe that they didn’t pick anything up along the way.“Run the report,” commanded the boss.Even though he was panicking, Dominic forced himself to summarize the report on his tablet.“The intruders were named Jerome and Ralph, employees of the technical team,” Dominic read the file.“According to their team leader, he received a text to send some employees from the maintenance team to fix the elevator on the top floor.”His brows furrowed afterward.“But it wasn’t from my employees, especially not from me. I was on a business meeting when this happened.”“I know,” answered the person on the other line with a smirk. “I have your entire schedule, Hawthorne. Did you forget?”Upon hearing those words, Dominic gulped.This was his role in the illegal business he had. Someone who just needed to act like a decoy and follow their commands.A mere puppe
