Oliver felt his chest tightening.

His steps were slow, deliberate, trying to make sense of the tension bubbling inside him.

From a distance, he overheard bits of the conversation.

“Yes, she’s working hard in the capital,” Zayne was saying, his smile wide and confident. “She’s just as determined and competent as you.”

Rebecca smiled softly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

“Thank you, Zayne.”

“You’re welcome,” Zayne replied, his eyes drifting toward Oliver as he approached.

“I should be going, Rebecca. See you around.”

By the time Oliver reached them, Zayne was already walking away.

His eyes lingered on the empty space Zayne had occupied, but quickly shifted to Rebecca.

“Why were you talking to Zayne?”

He asked, his tone sharper than he intended.

Rebecca blinked, surprised by the question.

“He’s a guest—and an important one at that. He wanted to ask me some questions about the umbrella bank,”

She replied, her tone polite but slightly guarded. “Is something wrong?”

  • Chapter 327: Trust Is To Be Earned, Not Given

    With his brows furrowing, Oliver looked at Jack from head to toe, trying to see if there was still any blue energy or power surrounding him.Little did Jack know, Oliver used his necklace to absorb his power, so Jack won’t be able to use it.But for some reason, the necklace had a hard time absorbing it, unlike what it did to Dexter, Anastasia, and Red’s energy before.Thankfully, Oliver didn’t find any blue energy now. But unfortunately, he noticed something else instead.“Everyone, duck now!” Oliver shouted in panic, seeing that Jack suddenly pulled something out of his pocket.A grenade.BOOM!Before Oliver could even reach them, he was thrown onto the back because of the sudden explosion.The distance between him and Jack’s location isn’t that near yet, so he didn’t gain any injuries.However, the leader and the other soldiers within the vicinity were surely in danger.“Guys, come with me!” Oliver commanded, and his entire team ran toward the area to save anyone that was still al

    “You have two choices. Keep on fighting, or surrender,” Oliver said, his voice cold. “This is the first and the last chance I’ll give you.”Jack smirked. “Do I really have a choice? You blocked every exit where I could go. I couldn’t even use the windows now.”“And all of you were at the door. How could I run away?” he added, raising an eyebrow, his lips curving into a smirk. “You’re giving a nonexistent choice in the first place.”“You can still choose it. There is just a lower probability that you’ll succeed if you choose to fight,” Oliver answered, looking intently at Jack.“If I were you, I would rather have the second choice.”Jack snorted. Then, he raised his hands in surrender.“Alright,” Jack said, grinning. “I surrender now. Take me to the Legion and let Charlie set a punishment for me. If that’s what will make you sleep at night, then so be it.”Samuel and Nick were about to go to him, as they had prepared handcuffs for this.But they couldn’t bring a gun, given that it was

    Oliver blinked in mixed shock and disbelief.“You’re seriously blaming me for something you did?”“It may be something I did, but remember that there are factors for it,” Jack answered, gritting his teeth. “Everything happened because of you.”Oliver chuckled, knowing what Jack was trying to do.Jack was trying to make Oliver feel guilty for something he didn’t have any fault with.Thankfully, Oliver wasn’t the same person that Jack used to know.“If there is something that happened because of me, that is not knowing your real personality because I trusted you,” Oliver said, emphasizing every word.“That’s something I regret. But I know I can still do something about it.”Jack smirked, now standing up properly as his body had fully healed already.“Hmm…” he hummed, lifting the sleeves of his hospital gown. “And what can you do? Pin me down? Tell everyone about what you discovered?”Pausing his words for a moment, he took some steps toward Oliver, who didn't flinch even though Jack was

    At the same time, Oliver had given Melissa the benefit of the doubt. She was innocent until proven guilty, and that would only happen if the evidence were verified.Oliver was glad that he listened to his intuition. That he didn’t trust people as much as before.And if he did, it would only be the deserving ones.“Are you afraid that we’re getting closer to the truth? And that is why you chose to stay out of your hiding and deceive us, knowing it would be easy for you to do?” Oliver asked, doing his best to stay calm.“Worse? You even killed James.”It wasn’t a question, but a statement from Oliver.“Back in Dominic's house, he discovered something he shouldn’t have seen,” Oliver said, not even holding back. “He finally knew the identity of Dominic’s boss, someone who gave him orders.”“And it was you, Jack.”Jack wasn’t able to speak. His gaze was darkening, even biting his lips because of the growing anger inside his heart.But not because he was wrongly accused.It was because, aft

    “Because you’re the real culprit and not Melissa.”Oliver took a few steps toward Jack, narrowing their distance.“You’re the real spy. The real enemy. The person who was pulling the strings,” he added, his voice darker, the same as his expression.“You’re the one stabbing us in the back while smiling in front of us.”Oliver didn’t know how he was maintaining his calmness while saying those words, but one thing is for sure.He was having a hard time.His heart broke so badly, knowing that the person they relied on a lot, and even the one who kept them moving forward to seek justice… Was the one who started it all.“This is plain bullshit, Oliver,” Jack said, the irritation was now evident in his voice. “I thought you chose to be here so you could ask how I’ve been.”“But if you’re just going to accuse me of fake things like this,” he added, throwing the documents into the air, “then just go. I don’t need you or the Legion V. I’m okay on my own.”The side of Oliver’s lips rose upon hea

  • Chapter 342: Facts Don't Lie

    Jack’s jaw fell upon hearing those words.“I planned my sacrifice?” Jack asked, the confusion evident in his voice as he looked Oliver in the eye. “What do you mean by that? Can you explain? Because I’m being lost here.”“Are you really lost? Or you’re just pretending to?” Oliver shot back, his cold gaze unwavering, folding his arms. “How long are you going to keep that shitty demeanor up?”Although Oliver was calm, the anger was evident in every word he threw at Jack.“Three years ago, we thought you made a sacrifice to save our lives. That despite knowing about those interconnected bombs, you chose to step on it, giving your entire life for the mission.”“But it wasn’t just the case, wasn't it?” Oliver added, now running his fingers through his hair, doing his best to be calm. “It was planned to look like you died, even though you aren’t.”Jack’s brows furrowed, staring at Oliver, wondering where his words were coming from.“Well, as you can see, I’m still alive.”Using his hands, h
