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
Chapter 258: Particles
“See the light red glow on it?” Samuel asked, and everyone nodded. “I think that’s where that strange aura we felt earlier was coming from.”No one answered him immediately as all of them were busy observing the red liquid.“You were right. It looked harmless, yet glowing,” Ray said, his brows furrowing. He added, “But given that they were being carefully monitored by those mercenaries outside, and we almost died while extracting information on the second house, that could be special.”“Or it could be the opposite,” Oliver mumbled, finally speaking after being silent for a while.The four of them looked at Oliver upon hearing those words.“It wasn’t special, and that is why Dominic was asking the mercenaries to take care of it.”James’s brows furrowed. “I’m sorry, Commander, but I don’t think that makes sense. Only special things are being taken care of like that.”Oliver didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he leaned back at the table. His gaze was steady, increasing the tension in t
Chapter 257: Three Types of Drugs
Oliver walked toward the box and covered it with his body.“No, Commander!” Ray shouted as he went toward Oliver, preparing to pull him there.However, his movement halted when someone suddenly held him by the arm.It was Samuel.“Don’t,” he said, his tone low and sharp. “He’s not going to sacrifice his life for us. He had a family to go back to.”With his brows furrowing, Nick asked, “Then why is he going there like he doesn’t care about what the content of the box could be?”“Because he knew something about it,” James answered this time, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Oliver.He added, “I’m not sure about it, of course. But that is what my intuition tells me.”The silence filled the conversation as no one spoke afterward.Instead, they just looked at Oliver, whose hands were holding onto the last box tightly.They noticed that Oliver was sweating profusely, gritting his teeth, and his veins were now visible on his skin.“Commander,” Ray called again, not being able to suppress
Chapter 256: Boxes
Upon hearing those words, Oliver’s gaze flickered up, sharp and focused. “Charge?”“I also felt that,” Ray seconded the motion, slightly wincing as he put some medicine on his wound. “The last one specifically had the strongest power.”“When I scanned the containers on the last warehouse with the drone, I picked up interference, not just radio signals,” James added, his voice low.“The drugs hidden in that place were giving off low-frequency pulses. Like they were… alive.”The silence followed as no one spoke for a moment.A few seconds later, Nick broke it.“If you think about it, it was weird for them to have three different warehouses near their vicinity," Nick said, his eyebrows furrowing.“And it might be because the drugs hidden have different purposes as well.”Everyone looked at Nick as he caught their attention.Usually, Nick was happy-go-lucky and didn't take the missions seriously.Even as they were going home, Nick was still trying to clarify the situation.But this time,
