Chapter 267: Strong Impact
“It was just too quiet, don’t you think?” Nick asked Samuel, his brows furrowing. “I thought they would know about our infiltration of the second warehouse, but… this place looked like an abandoned one.”“They were trying to lessen the casualties,” Samuel answered, looking at the surroundings. “But I think this is too much.”No enemies were in sight, and even the lights were turned off.It’s as if the entire operation was halted.“Are they too confident with their human bomb?” asked Nick in curiosity.“We don’t even know what could appear in the dark,” Ray muttered, his grip on the gun tightening. “The reason they were this confident wasn’t solely because of the human bomb, like we discovered.”Ray added, “They may have another card on their sleeve.” He looked at Oliver. “And this crap could be a double-edged sword, Commander. It might work against us.”“I know,” Oliver answered, his tone serious. “But this time, we need to trust ourselves and execute the mission no matter what.”Alth
Chapter 266: Call of Duty
“We need to strike fast and quietly,” Oliver said, gritting his teeth. “No matter what happens, the subject must be taken away from that place.”Hearing those words, everyone looked at him.“Commander?” Nick blinked in shock. “You’re not… planning to take the human bomb with us, aren’t you?”“The bomb? Of course not,” Oliver answered, immediately shaking his head. “But the human… I will.”He added, “That person could have intel for us—something that we could use to take the next step.”“And if he doesn’t cooperate?” Samuel asked, raising an eyebrow.“Then we’ll make him use the bomb that was originally planted on his body.”James chuckled at that plan, but he liked it. Thrilling missions like this send shivers down his spine.Not only that, but he was determined to know the real thing behind the mission three years ago, the reason his brother died.“I agree to that plan. I’ll help,” James told them, raising his hand without looking back.He added, “I’ll run surveillance drones and pic
Chapter 265: Precision Snatch
Samuel didn’t answer.Instead, he read the contents on the table in silence for a minute, then swore under his breath.“This is too much for an ordinary bomb inflicted on a person,” he muttered, his complexion losing color. “It’s for neuro-weaponry.”Ray and James had already expected those things, but still, their eyes widened upon that confirmation.“It’s confirmed,” James said, biting his lower lip. “They’re recreating that experiment that was supposed to be shut down years before.”“And I have a bad feeling about that,” a familiar voice chimed in.All of them looked at the other side, hearing the voice from that location.There, they saw Oliver, who was just leaning on the wall with his arms crossed and brows furrowed.“I’ve been here listening since earlier,” Oliver told them with a smirk. “I just didn’t bother because all of you looked serious.”Samuel looked at him. “Because this was something we didn’t expect.”“Neither did I.”Oliver walked in their direction, and Samuel let
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
