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

    “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

    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

    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,

    “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

    “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

    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

    “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

    As Seraphine’s grip on the gun tightened more to the point it was making her skin red, her breathing hitched, looking at Francis in disbelief.“Francis…” she called, the confusion evident in her eyes. “This isn’t real… You’re a good person.”“A good person?” Francis asked, his tone mocking. “No one’s a good person in this world, Seraphine. Not even you.” He smirked.Seraphine couldn’t believe the words he was hearing from Francis, especially the kind of demeanor he was now showing.After her conversation with Francis earlier, she realized that Francis had told her there were two robbers—when she didn’t even mention the exact count in the first place.Confronting Francis about it was hard for Seraphine, especially since Francis is the only person who treated her decently, even after they clock out at work.“I don’t know why you did it… But you still have a chance to surrender,” Seraphine said, her tone low and gentle. “I’ll come with you, I promise.”Francis didn’t answer. Instead, he

    “You didn’t tell me that he’s here,” Rebecca said, her lips curving into a smirk. “If I had known, I might have thrown a welcome-back party.“He didn’t tell me either,” Nate answered, wiping some parts of his face, which was still wet because of the water.A maid also came up to them, cleaning some wet parts on the floor, which was on the other side, not on the part where Rebecca was sitting.“Thanks,” said Nate with a smile.The maid only nodded in response before leaving the three of them alone.Nate added, talking to Rebecca, “I only saw him outside of the house. I didn’t even know how he managed to find my new location.”“I have connections now,” Oliver smirked and clicked his tongue. “But something that didn’t reach my radar is that you two were already together.”Rebecca grinned widely, holding her hand toward Nate’s arm.“We’re still getting to know each other,” she explained, her tone happy and proud. “That’s why I’m not interested in Ray.”She looked at Oliver afterward, now

    After a few minutes, Oliver had reached his first destination.No, it wasn’t in Denver or Jay’s house. His plans for returning to town aren't just to buy companies.He wanted to reconnect with his old acquaintances, too.“Thanks,” Oliver told the taxi driver, giving him a few bucks, before he drove away.Now, he was in front of a big house. It has a theme of black, white, and a little touch of silver.It didn’t look like the houses of rich people in town, but at the same time, it exudes elegance and power.Oliver clicked the button beside the black gate, and suddenly, the camera in the middle pointed at him, analyzing his face.“Is this Nathan Stuart’s residence?” Oliver asked on the camera, knowing that a person is looking right through it.But suddenly, a familiar voice cut through the silence.“Who are you?” a man in a baritone asked, the confusion evident in his tone.Oliver turned around, and to be honest, he didn’t need to do that.He already knew who the person talking to him w

    “That son of a bitch,” Trisha grunted as she clenched her teeth, wanting to throw her phone on the ground, but decided not to do it.Her phone was expensive, and it’s not that easy for her to buy a new one.“I’m the one approaching him and begging him to come back. This isn’t something I normally do, but for him, I’m even lowering my pride,” she muttered.“Yet this is what I receive?” she added, her words laced with hurt, and her pride shattering. “Who does he think he is to treat me this way?!”In the middle of her rage, her phone vibrated.“Unknown number?” Trisha snorted, her grip on the phone tightening. She added, “Who is it this time? Could it be Oliver again?”Despite the hesitation she was feeling, Trisha answered the call, “Who’s this?”A familiar voice of a man echoed on the other line.“Ouch. You didn’t save my number?”Trisha didn’t even need to ask who it was. She immediately knew it without a doubt.“Denver,” Trisha muttered, gritting her teeth. “We already broke up, so

    Trisha chuckled, but it lacked warmth. “Relax. I’m just making small talk.” She paused. “You know, we used to be together. At the dining table. In the house. Back when we didn’t have so much between us.”Hearing those words, Oliver couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically and shook his head, not taking the bait.“I’ve missed talking to you, Oliver,” she added.“You never talked to me, Trisha,” Oliver answered coldly. “Not even when I tried to reach out to you back then. But talking about it was useless now.”And to be honest, Oliver was glad that it had ended that way.Because of what happened, he was able to return to his real family, Seraphine and Anastasia.“No. It’s alright. Let’s talk about us,” Trisha spoke, her tone pretentiously begging, as she looked Oliver in the eye. “I missed you. I really do.”It was a lie, and Oliver could see right through it.Trisha was only concerned with two things in life: Herself and money. He had learned about it as soon as they divorced.“The only

    As Oliver left the hospital and Seraphine returned to the elevator toward the VIP suite, little did they know that someone was watching them from afar.It was Trisha, whose eyes were filled with envy and jealousy, especially upon seeing Seraphine walk away.“Oliver is the father of her child?” she muttered, her eyes and mouth widening in disbelief. “H-How… I still can’t believe they had a daughter…”She had been following Seraphine for a while now, wanting to find any weakness she could to break Seraphine and Oliver’s relationship.Like Seraphine having another sugar daddy, which could make Oliver hate her.But she had found out about their child instead.“Shit. Shit.”The regret instantly consumed Trisha’s body as she covered her mouth, preventing her from gasping hard, as she leaned onto the wall.“If only I let Oliver have sex with me back then, and if we also had a child… He would have treated me the same way,” she muttered, clenching her fists.“I would also have his money.

    The lobby was mostly empty except for a nurse seated at the front desk and a security guard sipping from a thermos in the corner.Both of them sat on one of the padded benches near the wide windows, which overlooked the hospital courtyard.Outside, the city lights twinkled faintly, and the occasional sound of traffic hummed in the background.“I thought you were going home,” Seraphine muttered, breaking the silence in between. “Are you planning to wait for Anastasia to wake up?”“No. I’ll let her rest for the meantime,” Oliver answered and looked Seraphine in the eye. “You’re the reason why I’m not going home yet, Sera.”Seraphine blinked in surprise. “Me?”“Yeah.” Oliver nodded. “I want to be with you, enjoy the silence with you. Like what we always do every time I go home.”Suddenly, both of their minds returned to the times they were together.And they were sitting with others during the silence made them feel they were back in time.It wasn’t awkward—just quiet, and full of the

  • Chapter 179: Family

    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
