Chapter 328: Not The First Time
Jack’s jaw fell upon hearing those words.It felt like his world was shattered, and all his misery went in vain.Aside from Legion V, James is the only family he has, the one from their bloodline.But now that he was back, he didn’t think that James would be taken away from him… before they could even meet.“We had a mission back then. Our goal is to interrogate Dominic Hawthorne, and to gain information from him,” Ray explained, realizing that Oliver was right.This is the only way for Jack to process the pain: To know the truth.“Despite the challenges, we managed to do it. We gained information about Dominic working with one of the Legion employees, so we weren't much surprised when you told us there was one.”“But we’re disappointed. That’s a fact,” Nick told him. “After all, I always thought our company was united.”Ray heaved a sigh. “After our mission, James went missing. We tried to find him, but when Commander did… He was dead.”“Still, he gave us a major clue to unravel the
Chapter 327: This Is Only The Beginning
“Oliver,” Samuel called as soon as he saw Oliver going inside the room.They are doing different things.Samuel was on his way to greet Oliver. Ray was sitting beside Jack, taking care of him, while Nick was drinking coffee, his gaze fixated on the window.“Is there something wrong?” Oliver asked Samuel, pointing at Nick, who was rarely serious.But now, he looks like he doesn’t want to be disturbed.“He’s having a hard time internalizing it all,” Samuel answered, lightly shaking his head, subtly worried for his friend. “But he can take it. He just needs some space.”Sighing, Oliver nodded.Like Nick, Oliver was sure that everyone felt the same way.Being betrayed by someone they were close to, Melissa, a Legion employee, stung even more than the punch of an enemy.Oliver went to Jack, who was resting on the hospital bed.He has countless bandages on different parts of his body, including his face.“How are you feeling right now?” Oliver asked, his tone low yet laced with worry.“Much
Chapter 326: I Don't Let Things Slide
“After all, you’re not the bad guy here. You’re one of the victims of this circumstance, which wouldn’t have happened if Melissa didn’t betray us.”Oliver didn’t answer immediately.He was still astounded by Charlie’s statements.Knowing that he was wanted and heavily hated by the Legion’s management, to the point he needed to put up a disguise and hide often so no one would recognize him, Oliver’s goal was to clear his name.Never in his life had he imagined this would happen, especially not anytime soon.“Thank you, Charlie,” Oliver said, the sincerity evident in his tone. “You don’t know how much this made me happy. I’m sure the others would feel the same thing.”“No prob.” Charlie smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “In fact, you don’t need to thank me. I should even apologize to you for letting you endure everything.”“You did that to protect me from other people who wanted to harm me,” Oliver said, now understanding Charlie. “I have no hard feelings about it.”Charlie sighed.
Chapter 325: Clear Your Name
“Well, you’re right. You have a point,” Oliver said, nodding. “But, isn’t that the truth? You hated Legion V. Even Samuel, the only person whom you were given a chance to repent, confirmed it.”Charlie chuckled, finding Oliver’s words amusing.“You’re acting like you didn’t know my real characteristics, son.” Charlie placed a hand onto Oliver’s arm, lightly squeezing it.“If I really hated you, just like what you’re claiming, do you think all of you would be able to set foot inside the Legion, let alone be in the same room as me?”“We won’t,” Oliver answered without hesitation. “But, didn’t you just let us in because of the truth Jack wanted to say?”“Hell, no,” said Charlie in a casual tone, even shaking his head as he looked at Oliver with amusement. “It’s hard for you to accept that I just managed to deceive all of you with those rumors, isn’t it?” “The rumors that you hated us?”“Yep.” Charlie nodded. “I didn’t hate you. All of you. At that moment, I just wanted Nick, Ray, and Sa
Chapter 324: Verify
Like Oliver, Nick wanted to look at both sides. But the data he had searched for… It doesn’t lie.“It’s confirmed,” Nick said, now closing the laptop. “I don’t know how I can still defend you after seeing this, Melissa. After all, James treated you more than a friend.”Melissa couldn’t answer, the same as everyone else in the room.All of them were just as shocked as she was.“I’m telling the truth,” Jack stated, now standing up, looking at everyone with a calm demeanor. “I won’t have the courage to show that if that wasn’t confirmed.”He added, “Confirming information like that was just like deactivating bombs. Before you p
Chapter 323: Submitted Evidence
“Then, the mission happened. The other members came back, except you and Oliver,” Melissa added. “They said you died in an explosion. While Oliver… No one saw his dead body, so I searched for him.”The sincerity was heard in Melissa’s voice as she said those statements.But Jack’s response was to raise an eyebrow. “So, you’re telling us that you tried to find Oliver just because of mere trust?”“It may look like mere stupidity at first, but I managed to find Oliver because of it,” Melissa answered. “That is why… I don’t know why you’re accusing me of something I didn’t do—”Before Melissa could finish her words, Jack took something and slammed it on the table.“Can you still call it accusing if I have evidence about what I’m saying?” Jack asked, his hands balling into fists.He added, “Look at that, Sir Charlie. Look at how the most self-proclaimed loyal person to the company… It turned out to be like this.”Charlie didn’t answer, but he obliged.He took the folder from the table and
