Seraphine nodded, agreeing with the statement.

It would mean war, especially with the kind of government Colossia has right now.

“Still…” Seraphine wanted to say her thoughts, but she sighed, choosing to let it stay in her mind.

“Fine. I’ll handle this one.”

“Thanks, Seraphine!” Francis exclaimed and hugged her, causing Seraphine to be shocked. “I’ll inform our boss. You can do it!”

Before she could answer, Francis already exited the office, leaving Seraphine alone.

She sighed and massaged her forehead.

“Right. This is the life I’m leaving now, and if not for my intelligence, I would have been exiled from the Capital.’

And Seraphine couldn’t let it happen. She must stay in the Capital at all costs.

Taking the necklace from her pocket, Seraphine wore it again.

‘Oliver is a part of my past now, but why can't I let him go?’ she asked, holding the pendant.

Then, she realized something. ‘Maybe… Maybe it’s because of that.’

Meanwhile, Oliver and Ray were on a cargo ship, hiding in on

    “Did you feel that, Commander?” Ray asked, looking at his surroundings attentively. “A strong presence was with us earlier.”“I felt it,” Oliver replied. “I can’t sense it now, but I’m sure someone was here.”Like Ray, Oliver’s gaze was scanning the surroundings, looking at the possible suspicious people nearby.But he saw nothing.“Could it be one of our enemies?” Ray asked, biting his lower lip. “Damn, we just went here, and they already know where we are?”“It’s possible. Knowing our enemies' influence, they might have their people at every corner of the City.”Oliver pau

    The man who bumped Oliver was someone wearing all-black clothing, with a black cap and face mask.Normally, the guards would find him suspicious because of his clothing. He would be asked to take off his cap and show his face.But strangely, no one’s even looking in the man’s direction.“Watch where you’re going.” Oliver involuntarily stepped forward, feeling the bump’s intensity toward him.Oliver thought the man was going to apologize, but instead, he said something that made Oliver raise an eyebrow.“You shouldn’t be here,” the man said, his tone low. “Everyone here thought you were dead, but once they know you’re still alive, they will try to kill you.”“What do you mean—”Before Oliver could ask his question, the man left the place, walking in the opposite direction.When Oliver was about to follow the man, someone held him in the arm.“Are you Oliver Wellington?” a man in his 50s asked, wearing janitorial clothes, and he had a face towel on his neck.“Yes.” Oliver nodded.“Grea

    Hearing those words, Samuel nodded. Everything makes sense to him now.However, two questions are lingering on his mind.“If you already know I’m following you, why didn’t you tell Oliver about it?” Samuel asked, remembering how Oliver didn’t recognize him.“I wanted to see first if you will be an ally,” Ray answered. “After what happened three years ago, I couldn’t be careless.”Samuel felt a pang of pain in his heart, knowing that Ray developed trust issues with everyone, including the Legion V.“I can’t blame you,” Samuel told him. “You thought that someone betrayed us, and to be honest, I feel the same thing.”Because there’s no way the enemies would know about their plan, if not someone from the Legion told them about it.“Right.” Ray nodded. “But seeing how you worried about Oliver being here, I can say you’re still the same Samuel I know.”Samuel smiled.“The only thing that changed about me is this,” he said, showing the jacket he wore upon going to the capital earlier. “Whi

    ‘Safe Haven Defense…’ Oliver thought, his brows furrowing. ‘I’m sure I can get some information about that here.’Oliver was about to take one file from the bookshelf. But he stopped when someone spoke behind him.“What are you doing?” a woman asked, her tone suspicious. Shivers sent down Oliver’s spine upon hearing the familiar voice.It was the same voice he had heard earlier before Juan had called him.He couldn’t be mistaken. This time, Oliver is sure of what he heard.‘Seraphine…’ Oliver thought, his heart thumping rapidly.Oliver turned around and confirmed it. Seraphine, his wife, was standing in front of him. “Didn’t you hear me? I said, what are you doing here?” Seraphine repeated the question. “This part of the storage room isn’t accessible to the janitors.”Oliver remained silent, at a loss for words.He could only stare at Seraphine, the person he longed for as soon as he remembered everything.“Wait, are you Oliver?” Seraphine inquired, her brows furrowing as she stare

    “You’re working for the government, yet you’re acting like this?” a man with a familiar voice said.Seraphine opened her eyes, and saw Oliver in front, gripping onto the woman’s wrists tightly.“O-Ouch, you bastard! Let me go!” the woman exclaimed, whimpering in pain as she tried pulling her arm backward.Since Oliver was easy to talk with, he obliged.However, as he did that, the woman lost her balance as she stumbled to the floor.Chuckling, Oliver took the brown envelope in the woman’s hand.“I heard you earlier about asking Seraphine about this favor,” Oliver said, opening the brown envelope. “What is this about that you just couldn’t let it go, huh?”Oliver read the document, and his lips curved into a smirk upon seeing what it was.“Brainstorming an idea for the next meeting?” Oliver frowned. “Can’t you even make your ideas that you’re pestering others for one?”“Shit!” The woman stood up.Despite looking flustered because Oliver caught her off-guard, she covered it with her ang

    Teasing Oliver more, Ray patted his shoulder.“This is why we should work hard to find out who sabotaged our last mission. You may have a failed love life, but you’ll rebuild your reputation.”Instead of answering, Oliver showed his middle finger, causing Ray to laugh.It was like the good old times when they teased each other before their mission started.However, Oliver knew that Ray was teasing him. He would fix his relationship with Seraphine, no matter what it takes.“Anyway, what about yours? Did you find Nick?” Oliver asked, shifting the topic.“Yeah.” Ray gave him a tablet. “He’s here in the Capital, working as a security guard in a small company.”Oliver looked at the tablet and saw some of Nick’s pictures working on his duty.Like all of them, Nick’s appearance changed a lot. But one thing is for certain.“He doesn’t like his job,” Oliver muttered, shaking his head.“Of course, he doesn’t.” Ray shook his head. “Both of us know Nick. He’s stimulated every time he’s moving, an

    Nick brought Oliver to his house, which made Oliver frown because of how it looked.It was shabby. The walls were already faded, the plants outside were dry and old, and the entire house looked like an abandoned one.“Aren’t you earning enough in your company?” Oliver asked, frowning.Nick chuckled. “This is just a facade. I don’t want other people to know how I live my life.”After that, he clicked a red button inside the living room.The floor they were standing on suddenly went downward, bringing them to another place—which is the exact opposite of the shabby house earlier.“Welcome to my home,” Nick said with a smirk.The entire place screamed wealth.On the left side were tons of computers and other equipment used for security, while on the other side were racks full of different guns.“You still love guns, huh,” Oliver said, scanning the collection one by one.“They said that first love never dies.” Nick chuckled. “And I also thought I could use all of these in the future.”He a

    Nick tilted his head in disbelief.“Another weapons company? But we have two,” Nick said, referring to Safe Haven Defense and Argus Industries.He added, “I don’t understand. It’s not like Colossia is going to war anytime now.”The City of Colossia allied with most of its neighboring countries, which considered Colossia inferior to them all.But that was so far from the truth. Colossia only just hides its resources from anyone to avoid any chaos.“Maybe they’re planning something bigger than the information we have right now,” Oliver said, his teeth gritting.Then, he added, “No matter what it was, we need to find out and stop it at all costs.”***After Nick hacked the phone and computer, Oliver took it upon himself to bring Nick back to his place of residence.Oliver informed Ray that he was going back, but he didn’t say that Nick was with him.That explains Ray’s shocked expression, and his happiness afterward.“Nick! Dude!” Ray exclaimed, then went onto Nick for a fist bump. “You

    For hours, Oliver, Seraphine, and Anastasia had a good time bonding as a familyBut mostly, it was Oliver and Seraphine talking as they spent more time getting to know each other, especially about Seraphine’s hobbies and wants.“I love watching superheroes like Sky Man, daddy,” Anastasia mumbled, giggling joyfully. “Mommy said that you’re a superhero, saving everyone’s lives while you’re away.”Oliver looked at Seraphine, his smile widening. “You said that to her?”“She asked me what your job is like,” Seraphine answered, looking away, scratching her nape. “That’s the closest description I could say.”“Well, you’re right.” Oliver nodded. Then, he leaned toward Seraphine, muttering into her ear, “But at the same time, you were wrong.”Hearing those words, Seraphine looked Oliver in the eye, her eyes narrowing.Oliver didn’t explain his sentence, she knew what he wanted to say.His work wasn’t exactly like a superhero. He’s a mercenary—Someone assigned to save or kill. Or both.Althoug

    “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

    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

    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

    “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
