Chapter 487: Origin
“Oliver,” Reynald called, his voice low and authoritative. “Tell me. What are you thinking about, causing your power to fluctuate like this?”Oliver didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he clenched his fists, nails burying into his skin.But as he did that, the power intensified. It was now flickering lighter than before, now surrounding his entire body.“Stay… away,” Oliver managed to say despite the difficulty, the beads of sweat falling from his forehead.Reynald shook his head.Then, he spoke, “You’re thinking where that power came from, aren’t you? You kept on thinking how it came to you, making you wonder if you’re a monster.”
Chapter 486: A Little Push
For a moment, it looked beautiful and pure. It was like in the fantasy movies.But not for long.“Ugh,” Oliver groaned as the glow spread onto his arms, his breath becoming slower.The warmth quickly turned into heat, then into something heavier.With the machine forcing the power to come out of Oliver’s body, it suddenly became uncontrollable, more painful, and dangerous.It’s as if every heartbeat carried a storm for Oliver, his power slowly consuming him.“Energy spikes’s rising fast. Pulse irregular!” said Melissa, her voice laced in panic as she looked Oliver in the eye. “Oliver…”
Chapter 485: First Session
Even though Melissa said those words in a reassuring tone, everyone still felt the heaviness of Oliver’s command.They know what kill-switch means. It won’t cause Oliver to die, but he would feel an excruciating pain afterward, something that could make Oliver wish he had just died instead.“Melissa is right. It’s effective. In that way, your powers won’t be able to hurt anyone,” Ray agreed. “However… Are you sure about that? The pain in the kill switch is no joke.”Oliver agreed without hesitation. “That’s the only way I can ensure that this experimentation won’t cause anyone trouble,” he answered. “At the same time, I can’t stop this. I need to control this power.”He added, his tone serious, “Anyway, let’s move to our plan for the upcoming mission.”Aside from the plans formulated by the different departments, the Legion also had its own.Reynald had always known that, and he also always gave his consent, especially now that the mission included protecting Zerenette.“So, mission
Chapter 484: Training
He let the weight of the previous mission hang in the air.They succeeded, but he almost lost everyone. If not for the Legion and the Lakovia Mercenaries at that time, even Oliver would have lost his life.“I made a mistake on that operation,” he admitted quietly. “I sent you in with blind faith and wrong intel. I thought we could get in and out if we’re determined, but it wasn’t the case.”“I almost lost all of you and failed the mission at the same time.”Oliver paused, now looking everyone in the eye.“But not anymore. This time, we’ll be ready. And we’ll learn fast enough before they can even catch up.”Melissa nodded, yet she clenched her jaw.“You led us to the right thing, Commander,” she said, her voice low. “We all made choices. So don’t blame yourself. No one liked what happened in the past.”Samuel met Oliver’s eyes. “You may have thought that we failed the people we left behind. That’s the kind of weight that doesn’t leave you quiet. But no,” he said, shaking his head. “I
Chapter 483: Assemble
After the simulation, the employees started to leave, followed by the board of directors.Oliver approached Zerenette, his usual calm demeanor breaking into a small, approving smile.“You handled that better than most veterans,” he said, his tone laced with pride.Zerenette glanced at him, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “I told you before. I may be young, but I know how to strategize,” she answered. “But I never thought strategizing while being in the same place could be nerve-wracking.”She added, “For a moment, I thought there were enemies who would attack me at a time I didn’t expect.”“Still, you managed to get through.” Oliver’s lips curved into a smile. “And not only did you conquer, but you overcame a weakness, too.”Reynald stepped forward, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Now, not only does the board know how capable you are. Even the entire Legion knows it, too.”Zerenette’s lips curved into a smirk. The board’s plan of involving the entire Legion in the test,
Chapter 482: Frequency Codes
“Units one through four, move through the ridge in formation delta-seven.”“Unit five, act as a diversion near the northwest storage tower. Deploy an EMP mine to disable surveillance for twenty seconds. That’s our window.”The simulation responded to Zerenette's commands. The holographic soldiers moved into formation, and she could see it through the map.“Enemy patrol approaching from the west,” the system announced as it created a warning.Zerenette tapped twice on the display. “Trigger the diversion. Detonate the EMP now.”The projection flashed, and a burst of blue static filled the map. The enemy icons faltered, temporarily blinded. Her team slipped through the shadows, perfectly executing what she had strategized in her mind.From the outside, murmurs rose from the employees, whose hearts were thumping rapidly while watching Zerenette strategize with the holographic map.“She’s timing her attacks perfectly,” one whispered, the amazement evident in her voice.Another one added
