Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 112: Co-Conspirator
For a moment, no one spoke.James’ fists trembled at his sides, his knuckles white. His breaths came sharp and unsteady.He wanted to punch Oliver for making him feel this way. But at the same time, he knew Oliver had a point in one statement he uttered.Deep inside his heart, James felt guilty for neglecting Jack back then.They even had more bonding moments in the hospital than when living in the same house.“You’re thinking it all wrong, James,” Ray said gently, trying to calm James down. “No one here liked what happened. You don't even have any idea how much we’re suffering until now because of his death.”The sincerity was evident in Ray’s voice.It was the truth; the pain was still with them even though Jack died for a long time already.James didn’t answer. Instead, he looked away, biting his lip hard.‘All along, I thought no one cared when Jack died,’ James thought, feeling the pain in his heart. ‘I searched for them, but no one wasn’t to be found, causing me to think they we

Everyone turned to Oliver, trying to grasp the weight of his words—except for Ray, who understood immediately.“So, what are we doing about Francis?” Ray asked, shifting the conversation. “Are we letting him go for now?”“Taking him carelessly wouldn’t be an option, but that doesn’t mean we’ll let him go,” Oliver answered coldly. “I’ll go to work as Oliver Wellington tomorrow, and I’ll approach Francis with that disguise.”Samuel frowned, his concern evident. “What if he already knows you’re Oliver Hunt? That plan could backfire, especially since you’ll be alone.”Oliver paused, considering the risk. Then, his fists clenched slightly as he spoke.“If that’s the case, it means we’re getting closer to uncovering the third accomplice.” His voice was steady, resolute. “And while I may be alone in Capital Hall, I know you all have my back if things go south.”“What if he also knows about Legion V’s existence?” Nick couldn’t help but ask, looking at the computer screen. “Those people were a
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 114: Last Card
As Oliver exited Nick’s house, he was shocked to see James sitting on the bench while puffing his cigarette.Shaking his head, Oliver took the cigarette from James’ mouth without a warning. He stepped on it repeatedly on the floor.“Ah, damn,” James muttered a curse, his glance moving from the cigarette to Oliver. “You won’t act like a damn brother to me, aren’t you?”“I won’t if you stay out of my sight,” Oliver replied coldly, ignoring James’ hostility toward him. “But why are you still here?”James didn’t answer that question. Instead, he looked away, focusing his attention to the clear sky.“Wait… Are you still hoping I’ll let you be a Legion V member?” Oliver asked, his brows furrowing with the realization. “Not a chance. Leave now.”Even with his cold demeanor, James didn’t move. This time, his gaze went toward Oliver, looking him in the eye.“Fine. I will—”“Did you treat my brother as a friend, not just a mere colleague?” James asked, interrupting Oliver’s words. “Aren’t you a
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 115: Enemy Approaching
Oliver remained silent for a moment, pondering what to do with James’ information.Although he admitted at the back of his mind how helpful the information was, Oliver still wanted to punch James in the face.“Alright,” Oliver spoke after a few seconds. “Let’s do it your way. I’ll consider it as Plan C.”Oliver thought it would be enough, but to his amusement, James spoke.“I have a condition.” His expression hardened. “That part… I want you to leave it to me.”Hearing that statement, Oliver’s lips curved into a smirk.He already knew what James was talking about even if he didn’t directly mention it.As his lips curved into a smirk, Oliver extended his hand toward James. “Deal?”Nodding, James took it and both of them shook hands.“Deal.”***Meanwhile, the next day, Francis was at the Capital Hall’s rooftop, puffing his cigarette as he stared at the overlooking city.No one knew him as the other robber, and that was the same case with Melvin.However, since Oliver had beaten up Melv

‘Damn it. He knows,’ said Francis at the back of his mind, biting his lower lip in nervousness. ‘Maybe this is what he’s warning me about.’He added, ‘Oliver was fuming mad. I can sense it even though we had a far distance earlier.’Francis quickened his pace, weaving through the hallway. Desperately wanting to be away from Oliver, he decided to turn to the other hallway, reaching for the staircase.But before he could do that, Oliver was already in front of him, leaning on the wall, giving him an intense gaze. “Francis,” Oliver called in a familiar voice, a chilling sensation sending down his spine.Oliver didn’t use the voice modulator this time. And somehow, hearing his real voice made the hair on his neck stand up in fear.His footsteps halted, and his body froze.A muscle in his jaw twitched as he turned around, trying to make a calm and chill demeanor.“Hey, Oliver,” Francis greeted, acting like he wasn’t affected by Oliver’s presence. “What’s up?” he added to ask.Like earlie
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 117: The Truth
“The hell?” Francis muttered, irritation creeping into his tone. “Did I left it in the office?”His brows furrowed, thinking about it. But no. Francis distinctly remembered having it when he walked out of the rooftop—“Shit,” Francis muttered a curse under his breath, remembering that he didn’t check for his pocket anymore after having a conversation with Oliver.Then, as if on cue, a cold sensation crawled up his spine.The air inside the car suddenly felt thick and suffocating. At that time Francis realized something wasn’t right.He froze.‘Someone was inside the car with me,’ Francis suddenly said at the back of his mind, the hairs on his neck standing up. ‘Who could it be?’Francis was about to turn, but before he could do that, a strong hand clamped over his mouth, pressing something soft against his skin—a handkerchief.His eyes widened, a sweet scent filling his nose.Chloroform.“Fuck!” Francis screamed as he tried banging the window, asking for help.But it was to no avail.
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 118: Karma
A few minutes later, Francis woke up from his not-so-peaceful slumber and noticed he was in a dark, abandoned warehouse.He gasped as his lungs burned and air finally rushed back into them.“Fuck,” he muttered, feeling the pain in his neck.Francis could still vividly remember what happened in the car. His abduction, James’ betrayal, and also, the humiliation of blacking out for the second time.As much as he wanted to act strong, his body betrayed him.His head was spinning, his vision was hazy, and his body was trembling aggressively, feeling his fingers twitching against the rope tied to his hands.A violent cough racked his chest as his blurred vision struggled to adjust.“W-Where… am I?” he spoke, his throat feeling sore.Every breath of him was a painful reminder of the rope that had nearly ended him.“Not feeling awake yet?” someone spoke behind him. “Or maybe you need some punch to return to your senses?”Francis’ blood ran cold upon hearing that voice.Slowly, with effort, he

“Karma… Fuck!” Francis said, laughing sarcastically despite feeling his throat getting burned in every second. “How could you disguise your betrayal as karma, huh? That’s plain bullshit!”Francis was already hysterical but couldn’t do anything as he was trapped, making James’ smirk widen.Suddenly, James’s mind went back to his conversation with Oliver—the day Oliver kicked him out of the Legion.“You… How long did you know about this? And why are you only saying this to me now?” Oliver asked in disbelief after James confessed his involvement with Zayne.And Seraphine’s kidnapping.“With Francis’ help, I was able to place a bug onto Seraphine’s phone. That’s the time I found out she’s your wife,” James confessed. “And I told Zayne about that, which is why he asked us to abduct her.”“How could I exactly tell you about that? You might beat me to death,” James added, trying to suppress the fear within his body.Oliver massaged his knuckles, giving James an intense gaze. “If you won’t gi

Chapter 209: The Way To Unlock The Fund
“You’ll need to sign this to unlock the fund, Oliver,” Blackwell explained quietly, his tone professional but oddly distant. “It’s that easy.”Oliver’s hand hovered over the folder, but he didn’t open it just yet. His instincts were screaming at him, and the air in the room felt suffocating.‘Why did Trisha need me to sign this now?’ Oliver asked, his brows furrowing. ‘What was she planning?’“I’ll need a moment,” Oliver said, his voice low. “I also need to personally check my account and see if I can withdraw from it or not.Trisha’s smile faltered just slightly, though she masked it quickly. “Sure. He could do it, right? Mr. Blackwell?”“You can, Mr. Hunt,” answered Richard with a professional smile. “And if you can’t withdraw from it, you can go back here and let’s talk for a little longer.”Oliver nodded, and without hesitation, he went outside the private office.Just to be sure, he went to the reception area and asked, “Is Rebecca Carter in the VIP room?”“No, Sir,” the receptio

Oliver paused, and a few seconds later, he stood slowly.“Let’s go, then,” he said in a low tone.Trisha blinked, caught off guard. “You’ll come?”“I’ll come,” Oliver replied. “But not for you. I want to see who else is trying to get their hands on my money.”Upon hearing those words, Trisha suddenly froze in her spot. ‘For sure that I didn’t make my words be interpreted that way,’ Trisha said, biting her lower lip.‘But how did he come to that conclusion?’Trisha was about to ask that question, but before he could speak, Oliver beat her to it.“Aren’t you coming with me?” Oliver asked, his brows furrowing as he was ready to leave the cafe at any time.“Y-Yes,” Trisha answered, taking a deep breath. “Wait for me.”*****The bustling streets outside Umbrella Bank seemed distant as Oliver and Trisha walked in silence. Trisha’s high heels clicked against the pavement, creating more tension in the air. Oliver, on the other hand, kept his eyes ahead. His mind was sharp, processing every
Chapter 207: Business Conversation
“That’s the spirit,” Denver said, giving her a short nod of approval. “Then we have a deal, Trisha. I’ll help you get what you want.” Just remember, when the time comes, I’ll expect you to return the favor,” he added, a menacing smirk creeping to his face. “We’ll be working together on this.”Trisha didn’t even hesitate. She held his gaze firmly, a smile tugging on her lips. “Deal.”Both of them extended their hands, shaking hands as if they were doing a business agreement.Then, as Denver got up to leave, he gave her one last look. “Oliver won’t know what hit him. We’ll make sure of that.”It gave Trisha a sense of fulfilment, although they aren’t executing their plan just yet. But she has a good feeling about this.“We will.” Trisha nodded. “And even though we’re not starting yet, thank you for the help, Denver.”Denver only nodded in response before walking away, leaving Trisha sitting in the dimly lit bar, her mind now working with a sense of certainty. She had her plan, and wi
Chapter 206: Mutual Advantage
Denver leaned back, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp. “I’ve just been hearing a lot about you, Trisha. Especially about what happened last night.” He grinned. “You’ve got quite a... complicated situation going on with Oliver. And he humiliated you? At the parking lot?”Trisha did her best not to look shocked as soon as Denver said those words. But her eyes blew it all away.At the same time, she wasn’t that surprised with how much Denver knew. He had too many eyes in different places. Basically, now that Zayne was gone, the town was practically his.“I know that you’re not interested in gossip, and it’s the same as mine,” Trisha scoffed, rolling her eyes. “So, stop beating around the bush and tell me what you want.”Trisha couldn’t hide the annoyance in her voice. She was in no mood for anyone to waste her time, especially now that she was thinking of a plan to bring Oliver down.Denver’s smirk grew wider, and he leaned forward slightly.“I know you, Trisha. You’re thinking of
Chapter 205: By Hook Or By Crook
“You’re out of your mind if you think you still have any hold over him,” she said, her tone condescending. “And to be honest, I’m not afraid of you, or any tactics that you will use in the future.”Seraphine added, now her voice firm and laced with sincerity,“I’m not going to let you destroy what Oliver and I have, and the family we’re starting to build. So you can keep playing your little games, but it won’t work.” Seraphine’s voice was low and intimidating. “It’s over.”There was a brief, tense silence, and then Trisha’s voice was laced with anger. “You’re so naive, Seraphine.” Trisha chuckled sarcastically. “I’ll make sure you regret this. He’ll see the truth soon enough, that there are so many fish in the ocean, and she doesn’t need to stick with you. She added, “And when he does, you won’t even be a memory.”“Fishes?” Seraphine asked and laughed. She didn’t even bother to conceal it. “He’s not looking for fishes because Oliver is not a goddamn fisherman, Trisha. I’m not a fis
Chapter 204: It's Over
Oliver nodded, understanding the unspoken weight of her words. He knew that she needed more time, and hopefully, this conversation would help her make a decision."Take your time," he said, his voice laced with sincerity. "But I’ll be here."“Thank you,” Seraphine replied, a small smile tugging on her lips as she held the strap of her bag. “That’s it. I’ll take the train back to the capital. I need to go back to Anastasia.”Oliver wanted her to stay, even just for a little bit, so they would be together. But at the same time, he understood her dilemma. Anastasia couldn’t be left alone.‘And if something bad happens to her while we’re not around, I don’t know if Seraphine could still take it,’ Oliver thought.So, he answered, “Alright. Take care, Sera.”Seraphine only nodded in response. Then, she stood up and left the café.Oliver couldn’t help but feel that things were still fragile between them. But now, at least, they were moving in the right direction.He knew that Seraphine still
Chapter 203: Trust
“I think I heard enough,” Oliver said, his jaw clenching. “I’ll send you my wife’s email address so you could email her, and maybe talk to her if she insists.”It was only a spare email, so he wouldn’t compromise Seraphine’s identity. And he didn’t know if this technique would be effective either.But he was willing to try everything if that meant gaining Seraphine’s forgiveness and trust again.“I’ll take care of Trisha. Don’t worry. It’s a deal.”Before Carolina could answer, Oliver had already ended the call.He already knows what to do next. With what happened earlier, it was more than enough for Trisha to behave.So, this time, he dialed Trisha’s number.Within a few seconds, she answered, as if she were already expecting this call.“That was too quick,” Trisha said on the other line, her tone smug. “Why? Did Seraphine already call you, tell you that you’re trash, and already break up with you, huh?”Oliver clenched his teeth, wanting to talk back. But he composed himself because
Chapter 202: Unexpected Help
Oliver was about to speak again, explaining more. But before he could even do that, Seraphine sighed heavily, the sound so weary it nearly broke him."I just… I can’t keep doing this, Oliver,” she muttered, her voice cracking. “I can't keep feeling like I’m going to be blindsided every time you walk out the door.”She added, “I trusted you. God knows I still do. But… I don’t know how to process these things.” Her voice was pained, and it hit Oliver like a physical blow.“Seraphine, please—”“I need time,” Seraphine said quietly, halting Oliver from finishing his sentence. “I need space to think. I don’t know if I can keep trusting you right now.”And before Oliver could explain, Seraphine had ended the call.Oliver stood in the middle of his room, his hand gripping the phone tightly, staring at the empty screen. It felt like the world had just tilted under his feet.For a moment, he didn’t know what to do, or even where to begin to fix this.All he knew was that he couldn’t let it en
Chapter 201: Breaking The Bond
Seraphine’s phone buzzed on the side table, and she barely glanced at it.However, something about the unfamiliar number flashing on the screen made her frown.Curious, she reached for it and unlocked it. Seraphine suddenly forgot how to breathe for a moment upon seeing the picture sent to her.Staring back at her was a picture, and although it was a blurry one, something was unmistakable. Oliver was in the picture with a woman.A woman pressing her lips to his. And it was just not any other woman.It was Trisha.“Shit… What is…” Seraphine trailed off, not even able to finish her sentence as her heart twisted painfully. “What the hell is this…”Her fingers gripped the phone tightly without realizing it, her knuckles whitening.But that wasn’t all. A few seconds later, Seraphine received another message.[You really think he’s loyal to you? Think again, Seraphine. You’re not the only woman in the world.]Seraphine’s mind blanked for a moment.“No…” she whispered aloud, the word falling
