Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 196: Covering Tracks
Trisha shrugged exaggeratedly.“It’s business. Everyone’s dirty if you dig deep enough,” Trisha answered, her shoulders already sluggish as she leaned on the chair.“But Denver and Jay? They’re survivors. Smart ones. They know how to cover their tracks.”Those words caught Oliver’s attention. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. “And?” he asked, but based on Trisha’s expression, it seemed like she was hesitating to tell Oliver more, even despite the alcohol running through her veins.His voice dropped to a coaxing whisper, his lips almost brushing her ear, “Come on, Trisha. You can tell me more than that. It’s just us here.”With that movement, Trisha swayed slightly in her seat, giggling drunkenly.However, she was more clever and cunning, more than Oliver expected him to be.Trisha sat properly, now looking Oliver in the eye.“Maybe I could,” she teased, running a finger down his arm. “But... what's in it for me? If I tell you everything I know, what can I get in re
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 197: Scapegoat Plan
Oliver remained on his seat, pondering.‘Pushing her harder would just make her babble nonsense,’ he thought, his brows furrowing deeply. ‘But letting her go now could mean losing the lead he needed.’And he’s not the type to let go of the opportunity, especially if it was already in front of him.He needed a plan, quickly. And he knew just how to bait her. Which is to let her want more, and he just knew what she wanted: Him.His money, to be exact.With a slow, deliberate smile, Oliver poured another drink and pushed it toward her. Although he already has an idea that Trisha was almost on the edge, he won’t stop.Because his gut was telling him that something was fishy, but he just didn’t know what exactly that was.“Alright, Trisha," Oliver said smoothly, agreeing with her condition. "You want a dance? Finish this first."If she wanted to play, he’d play.But only until she gave him everything.Trisha’s eyes gleamed with joy at the offered drink and the dance they’ll do later, as if
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 198: Desperate Move
‘This wasn’t just about buying Denver’s company anymore,’ Oliver thought, clenching his fists. ‘It was about getting ahead of whatever scheme Denver had planned.’Moving something, pinning all the blame to someone, and their scapegoat plan… everything was connecting to something that Oliver wasn’t sure about. Not yet.And Oliver would make sure he wasn’t the scapegoat they intended to use.Not now. Not ever.With those thoughts drowning in his mind, Oliver’s eyes narrowed, the old, ruthless fire reigniting inside him.‘It was time to hunt,’ he thought, his gaze laced with determination.But before that, he still needed to make sure that Trisha would go home safe and sound.It wouldn’t be safe for her to ride a cab, so he was about to call someone trustworthy to take Trisha home, as he was already halfway to the parking lot.Suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.“O-Oliver!" Trisha called out, her voice shrill and clumsy. He stopped walking, exhaling slowly before turning ar
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 199: Mother's Disgust
The disgust and anger radiated through Oliver’s eyes, which was something Trisha wasn’t expecting to see.Although they had a fake marriage for the last few years, it was the first time they kissed. Mainly because Trisha doesn’t want to do it.And now, Trisha expected that Oliver would feel happy. That he was finally able to taste her… So why does it look like he wanted to kill her with his gaze?“What’s wrong?” Trisha asked, her brows furrowed in confusion. “Didn’t you like it because I drank too much alcohol? Is that the reason your brows were furrowed like that—”Before Trisha could finish her sentence, Oliver suddenly held the collar of her shirt, slamming her to a car, their faces having a few distance against each other.It was full of tension, but not in the way Trisha hoped. Because this kind of tension was the one that could kill her. Literally.“Don’t say something like that to my wife again, or I might forget that you’re a woman, Henverton,” Oliver growled, his voice laced
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 200: Pictures
As soon as Oliver arrived at the hotel’s parking lot, Oliver shut down the engine, but he didn’t go outside the car just yet.For a long moment, he just stayed in the driver’s seat, hands gripping the steering wheel, staring blankly ahead.Trisha’s drunken kiss, her clinging desperation, Carolina’s angry and disgusted expression—all of it replayed in his mind like a bad film he couldn’t turn off.He suddenly remembered how badly his life had been over the past few years, especially when he lost his memory. Although he was breathing, it felt like his soul had died.“Shit.” Oliver exhaled sharply through his nose, resting his forehead against the steering wheel for a second before sitting back.Pathetic.That was the only word he could think of to describe her now.However, that was Trisha’s real character. She would do anything just to have money so she could buy her luxury.But the Trisha he had known was confident, charming, and dangerous in her own way. And she just showed him the e
Zero: God Of Mercenary 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
Zero: God Of Mercenary 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
Zero: God Of Mercenary 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 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

“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
