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.

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

Hearing those words, Samuel frowned as a realization hit him. “Could it be related to the message Zayne sent to Francis earlier?”Oliver also let them see the message James sent to him earlier, so they would also have an idea of what was happening.“It’s possible, but we still can’t be sure,” Oliver answered, focusing on the awaiting danger behind the door. “What’s the status inside?” he asked Nick.“Not great,” Nick replied. “There may be few, but they were skilled fighters. Some of them also have guns in their waist.”He added, “If they hide in a blind spot, then I won’t be able to shoot them.”“Alright,” Oliver affirmed. “What about Seraphine? Can you see her inside?”Nick adjusted his sniper gun and the scope, looking at the warehouse’s interior using thermal imaging.“She’s tied on a chair,” Nick informed, his gaze locking on Seraphine’s location. “There are two guards beside her. One man was also in front of her.”Upon looking closer, Nick made a deduction. “I think it was Zayne

Seraphine blinked in surprise. “What?”But Zayne didn’t answer her anymore. Instead, he took his phone and dialed Rebecca’s personal number—which she doesn’t use for work.Due to his massive connections, he could get any information he wanted as easily as pie.After a few minutes, Rebecca answered the call, her brows furrowing as she placed the phone onto her ear.“Rebecca Carter speaking,” she greeted, her tone polite yet cautious. “May I ask who this is, and how did you get my number?”“This is me, Zayne Greensmith,” he introduced herself, his voice has a dangerous edge to it. Hearing that statement, Rebecca unintentionally let go of the pen she was holding. It created a loud sound, making Zayne smirk on the other line.“It’s been a while, Rebecca. How are you?” he asked, his smirk widening.“I’m fine…” Rebecca answered, her tone trying to be casual, but failed.Her heart thumped rapidly, realizing that something wasn't right.After all, she heard negative rumors about Zayne, and h

“What the fuck?!” Zayne exclaimed, his eyes widening in shock as he stood up. “Who the fuck shot him?”Zayne asked that question to his remaining men, but no one could answer as they didn’t see the killer’s face.And every time someone was attempting to go outside to check, they were being shot.Because of that, Zayne raised his hand, halting everyone’s movement.“Go back here,” he commanded. “And don’t peek at whoever is outside the warehouse. Someone might have been helping him shoot us.”His gaze moved to the windows near the rooftop after saying those words.“A sniper,” said Zayne in a low tone, ensuring the person outside wouldn’t hear him. “Be careful. We don’t know when that person will attack.”Zayne tilted his head, pointing to the corner—a blind spot for snipers.“Sniper team, prepare for counterattack,” Zayne told his two men. “Kill that sniper as soon as possible. I’ll buy time for both of you, so execute your job properly.”“Yes, Sir,” both of them affirmed.The remaining
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 123: Zero's Outrage
An explosion erupted from the west side of the warehouse, shaking the ground beneath them for a moment.“What the fuck?!” Zayne exclaimed, his body bending slightly to maintain his balance.The west side is where Zayne’s sniper team was positioned to find Nick.But now, there was a possibility that all of them were annihilated.“It could probably be Ray and Samuel,” Zayne muttered, gritting his teeth as he pointed to some of his men. “The three of you, go to the west side to check the situation there.”He added, “For the remaining ones, my command still stands. Kill Oliver!”“Yes, Sir!” Zayne’s men affirmed.Quickly yet carefully, all of them walked out of the warehouse, thinking that Oliver used the explosion earlier to escape since they didn’t see him anymore.However, as soon as they turned around, a bullet was buried in their heads.“All of you thought that I escaped like a coward, didn't you?” Oliver asked, his lips curving into a devilish smirk. “Not a chance!”He is frustrated
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 124: Surrender
Without waiting for Ray to speak, Oliver ended the call.He looked at Zayne with a sly grin, but the latter only shook his head and clicked his tongue, giving Oliver an arrogant gaze.“You’re running out of luck, don’t you think?” Zayne asked, chuckling as he taunted Oliver. “Your members couldn’t go here to help you, and you don’t have any backup plan. All you have is bluffing.”Pressing the barrel of his gun harder against Seraphine’s temple, he added to speak.“If you don’t lower that weapon of yours, she won’t be so lucky either.”Oliver could easily pin Zayne down by shooting him in the head if he doesn’t have a hostage. Or even if he does, Oliver was confident about his skills to execute his plan properly, which he mostly does.But with Seraphine’s life on the line, Oliver’s body was stiffened. His emotions, which he should hold under his control, were taking over.“You’ll kill me yourself, huh?” Zayne taunted, his other hand going onto Seraphine’s neck, slightly choking her. “

A few seconds later, Oliver spoke again.“I’m leaving,” he said quietly as he walked toward the door and exited the room, leaving Trisha and Richard together.As soon as the door closed, Richard’s professional and calm demeanor immediately faded. He clenched his jaw and his gaze darkened.“This isn’t what you told me would happen, Henverton,” Richard said, his tone low and dangerous. “You told me that he was easy to manipulate. That this would be quick.”Running his fingers through his hair, he added, “But what is this? Not only did he refuse to sign, but you made me look like a fool in front of him.”Although his voice was almost in a whisper, the burning anger was evident in Richard’s expression.Richard has a reputation to maintain.He wanted to achieve the same position as Rebecca, and for him to do that, he needed to engage in some dirty tactics.But Oliver’s characteristics made him realize one thing: that he wasn’t on the same par with Rebecca. Not even close.“You know… Oliver
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
