2025-02-05 15:00:52Together, 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

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’

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.

Denver had a total of three muscular men beside him. Based on their appearance, they looked like wrestlers.Oliver couldn’t help but chuckle.“You're calling for help now, huh? Why? Are you afraid that I might make you faint again in just one punch?”“Bastard.” Denver gritted his teeth. “Hah. Let’s see if you can still smile like that when you beg for me to save your life.”Denver looked at his men and tilted his head. “Beat him up.”“Yes, Sir!”Without a warning, one of Denver’s men punched him in the face, causing Oliver to stumble to the ground.He didn’t expect his opponents to be fast, so he was caught off-guard.“That isn’t bad,” Oliver muttered, smiling as he spat blood. “But is that all you can’t do?”“You arrogant shit!” one of the men said and punched Oliver in the stomach this time.Oliver groaned, feeling the pain consuming his body.‘Denver managed to hire stronger men this time, huh?’ Oliver thought, his lips curving into a smirk. ‘First is drugs… and now, this.’“How da

Oliver paused for a moment, then spoke.“I heard from Jay that the aphrodisiac he used on Rebecca came from you.” His grip on Denver’s collar tightened. “Where did you buy it?”“I—I…” Denver gasped, having a hard time breathing. “I won’t tell you… fucker.”His words were laced with anger, and Oliver chuckled upon hearing that.“You’re still arrogant despite what I’m doing to you right now, huh?”Oliver increased the pressure on his hand, making Denver gasp for more air.His hands touched Oliver’s, slightly hitting it, signaling Oliver to let him go. But the latter di

Denver’s brows furrowed, confused. “Well, me being in the news was common, but what do you mean that I involved you?”“Look at the recently published articles, you punk! You just exposed our secret to Colossia!”“Wait…” Denver muttered and obliged.Without ending the call, Denver looked at the articles. His eyes widened in shock upon seeing all the bad news pointing at him.On every news, the video of him smirking while beating up Oliver was circulating on different broadcasting channels.Because of that, harsh criticisms about Denver were on various social media sites. Everyone calls him a gangster—someone who shouldn’t lead them.

After talking to Denver, Oliver went to the safe house where he and Ray were hiding for a while, staying there until evening.He already brought his bags, and he already informed Nate and Chris about him leaving the town.At first, Chris won’t let him go. As they lived together for a while, Chris somehow became close to Oliver.However, when Nate explained to his son that Oliver needed to go to find something, Chris understood it, and bid him goodbye.“Do you think he’s regretting it now?” Ray asked, looking at the television where Oliver was watching the news.It snapped Oliver back to his senses.“He does,” Oliver nodded. “But knowing Denver, he would rather be beaten up by someone than let me spare his life. He just hates me that much.”“Of course, he would.” Ray chuckled. “You’ve been stepping on his ego for a while now, and that’s the shittiest thing a person could have felt.”“It’s his fault for interpreting it that way, not mine,” Oliver said coldly. “And he’s my ex-wife’s love

“Sera?” Rebecca called, hearing the sudden noise on the other line. “Are you okay? Did you bump your feet onto something again?”Rebecca knew how clumsy Seraphine was at times.Back when she was still living with their parents in the capital, Rebecca often helped Seraphine every time she tripped on the ground.“I-I’m fine,” Seraphine answered, clearing her throat. “Oliver Hunt, you say?”“Uh-huh.”Raising an eyebrow, Seraphine asked, “And how did you know this person?”“Well… He’s a VVIP client in the Umbrella bank,” Rebecca explained. “That's highly confidential information, but I’m telling it to you. I trust that you won’t tell everyone about it.”Seraphine chucked. “As if I have someone to talk to.” Although she lived in the capital, Seraphine’s kind was at the lowest in the social class.Having not enough net worth and solely relying on the job she has in the government, Seraphine immediately transformed from the life of the party to being an outcast.She had everything before; b

“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.”

“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

“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

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
