Chapter 264: Weapon-Grade
Meanwhile, in a sleek penthouse across the city, Dominic stood on the balcony, phone pressed to his ear.Dominic was talking to his boss, who was asking for an update about making James their weapon. Again.“I’m not reaching out to him. Not yet,” Dominic admitted, looking at the night lights, admiring the scenery while pondering deeply. “I’m letting everything simmer for a moment.”“Simmer?” his boss asked, the confusion evident in his tone. “What do you mean?”Smiling devilishly, Dominic answered, “I knew James. Because of what happened today at their infiltration, he would fracture and question everything.”“And he told me before that Ray was the closest to him, so maybe Ray tried to hold everything together,” he added. “But the cracks are forming.”On the other end, his boss chuckled—a low, amused sound.“Excellent,” he said, feeling satisfied. “Alright. Let the pressure simmer for now. If you rush, they’ll band together.”“But if you let the wound fester…”Dominic smiled thinly. “
Chapter 263: Chasing The Past
James added, “He’s the one being protected because of his position as the commander, not the other way around.”He opened his eyes and let out a long breath, one that trembled at the end.A faint creak came from behind him, soft enough that most wouldn’t hear it, but James was more attentive than ever.James turned his head slowly, only to see Ray looking at him.“Couldn’t sleep?” Ray’s voice was low, cautious, and laced with worry.“Didn’t feel like it,” James answered and shrugged, his voice hoarse and weak.Ray didn’t answer as he stepped outside his room, barefoot and his hair a little messy.
Chapter 262: Second Thoughts
“Bring back the wound of losing his only brother. Let him believe you’re the only one who can help him,” his boss added. “Break the trust between Legion V members.”Dominic remained silent for a moment, weighing all the pros and cons of their plan.“But… Is it possible?” Dominic asked, his brows furrowing and his tone unsure. “Legion V has been a solid group for a long time now. I don’t know whether I could—”He stopped speaking as he felt the sudden coldness in the air, which was coming from his boss’ direction.“Hawthorne,” the man called, voice colder and more intimidating than before. “I was telling the plans for you to execute, not to question and judge.”“S-Sorry, Sir,” Dominic quickly apologized, his gaze fixated on the ground now.His boss snorted, but didn’t speak for a while.Instead, he tapped his fingers on the table, its sound bringing more tension in the air.“At this time, I’m sure that their trust was already at the breaking point,” the man muttered, his lips curving i
Chapter 261: Silent Command
“Sit down,” his boss commanded, and Dominic obliged.Dominic sat at a long table, hands clutching at the fabric of his pants, eyes nervous as he looked at the man across him.Even though he couldn’t see his boss because it was too dark in the room, the tension still arose in the air, given how authoritative his boss’s aura was.“You called for me, Sir?” Dominic asked, breaking the silence. “I-Is this because of what happened at the port?”“You’re right,” the man answered, his low and dangerous tone reverberating in the room. “Because of this, Argus Industries was now compromised.”He added, “I thought everything was under control. I gave you a
Chapter 260: Holding Cards
Charlie didn’t answer immediately.His gaze shifted to the window of his office, where the city lights blinked against the darkness.“No such thing as coincidences in our world, Dominic,” he said quietly. “You know that better than anyone.”Dominic’s smile turned thin and sharp.“Then you won’t mind if I remind you where your priorities should lie,” Dominic said, his tone low and authoritative.“Keep them in check. Before they poke their noses into places they can’t handle.”“Especially Oliver,” he added, the warning evident in his voice. “If he gets too close to the fire... well,
Chapter 259: Coincidence
“I’ll help,” Ray said, holding onto Samuel’s arm. “I may not know something for now, but I can find information outside. You know how I work.”Everyone nodded. With Ray’s stealth, finding information would be possible.“Just be careful,” Oliver said, his tone low and serious. “Like what I always tell you, if you feel something dangerous, retreat without any hesitation.”“Yes, Commander.” Ray nodded.No one spoke for a moment, processing the tension they had onto their bodies now because of the three boxes containing drugs.“This is our new mission,” Oliver said, looking everyone in the eye. “No one else gets hurt. We shut it down before it spreads.”“Understood,” they answered in unison.This wasn’t just about knowing about what happened three years ago and clearing Legion V’s name.It was about his family, the residents of Colossia, and the possible destruction Colossia might face if this continues.And for the sake of everyone’s protection, Oliver was more than willing to burn the w
