2025-11-11 15:00:23Three years ago, Nicholas had given an order to his people to take Zerenette hostage and use her situation to eliminate the Legion V as well.
It was a success.
His subordinates reported that Zerenette was dead, including Oliver.
The Legion V was destroyed, and Reynald and Charlie lost their usual composure, causing their performance to decline.
It had a massive impact on the company, and Nicholas used that opportunity to make the Devoran Corporation rise to the ranks.
Jack, the leader of the Card Elite, an organization operating under his authority, also framed his death perfectly.
He managed to return to the organization and attend to the pending experiments, all with

Caleb looked behind him and saw Zyren walking out of the shadows.“It’s you,” Caleb spoke, his tone low. “I thought you were not going to show yourself anymore.”“Why won’t I? You have given me your authority as a police officer who monitors the Legion, so I can come and go whenever I please,” Zyren answered, his lips curving into a smirk. He added, “That just proves your loyalty.”Caleb didn’t answer. Instead, he leaned on the wall and puffed on his cigarette.“Hmm… I think I know why you’re grumpy,” Zyren said, tilting his head as he clicked his tongue. “Oliver is suspecting you, isn’t he?”“Of course, he will.” Caleb’s lips curved into a smirk, the smoke coming out of his mouth every time he spoke. “We’re not on good terms.”“Also, he became more attentive ever since that incident with Jack happened. I’m sure he won’t take this situation lightly.”“Knowing Zero, you’re goddamn right.” Zyren showed a devilish smile. “But don’t worry. Everything is under control.”Caleb’s brows furr
Chapter 541: Leaked Information
Smirking, Caleb went inside the room, and Oliver followed him.Oliver shut the door behind them, the small click of the lock echoing on every corner.The empty room was dark and silent. Dusts filled the old shelves lined with old weapons and boxes. But no one cared about that.Instead, Oliver’s gaze remained on Caleb, who raised an eyebrow in mixed amusement and confusion.“What’s the matter?” Caleb asked sarcastically, his lips curving into a smirk. “You’re looking at me as if you wanted to kill me.”“Because I do,” answered Oliver without hesitation.Oliver closed the distance in two strides and slammed Caleb against the wall by the collar.“Did you really think that no one would notice you acting strange for the past few days?” Oliver asked, gritting his teeth in anger.“While you’ve been looking at everyone else as if they were pawns of your games, I’m also looking at you, observing your every move.”Oliver’s voice was low and intimidating, and if other people were in front of h
Chapter 540: Prove Me Wrong
With the possibility that Nicholas might have been able to take Caleb on his side, although they didn’t have any idea on how they did it, Oliver realized something.Nicholas’ next move wouldn’t just be political, but even more dangerous than before.He had planted a trap, one that threatened the Legion, Colossia, and everyone they cared for.And now, it was only a matter of time before it fully unfolded, something that sent shivers onto Oliver’s spine.“That’s all I have to say for this press conference,” Zerenette suddenly spoke, halting Oliver from his thoughts.“If you have another question, then I’ll ask you to wait until I conduct the next one. Thank you.”Upon saying those words, Zerenette had already stepped out of the podium, ignoring the reporters shouting questions toward her.She was also aware that the public were against them now, although she wasn’t seeing the social media posts yet.The reporters stood up, and as they were more aggressive than earlier, they were about t
Chapter 539: Perfectly Countered
“What happened to Reynald Lakovia?” he asked without hesitation. “Charlie Wiles has been taken into police custody for a while now.”“Yet you’re here in front of us instead of him. Is he in a bad condition?”“No. I can assure you that he’s in good condition, but he needs rest right now,” Zerenette answered without hesitation. “But I’m not here to talk about that.Murmurs rippled in the air, much louder than before.All of them were now curious about what Zerenette was going to say.“I’m here to clarify recent events and provide the truth about the explosion that has been reported across Colossia.”Zerenette's gaze swept the room, landing briefly on Oliver, who gave her a subtle nod of reassurance. He had been her guide, her shield in the past, and even now, he stood slightly in the corner, ready to intervene if anything went wrong.She treats Oliver as a second father, and that will never change.“As investigations are ongoing,” Zerenette continued, clearing her throat, “we can confi
Chapter 538: Press Conference
Everyone nodded.“Then, this meeting is adjourned,” Zerenette said, bringing the meeting to a close. “Let’s have a meeting again once the plan has been finalized.”“For now, let’s go back to doing our tasks.”All of them bowed slightly, showing both affirmation and respect.Everyone left the room afterward, and when Oliver was about to exit through the door, Zerenette called him.“Stay here for a while, Zero,” Zerenette commanded, and Oliver obliged.Closing the door, he went back to his assigned seat.“Are you going to ask about your father’s condition?” Oliver asked, reading through Zerenette’s expression.Zerenette nodded with a sigh.“You know that I can’t visit him as much as I wanted to. There are so many things to deal with. I hope he understands that.”“Of course, he will,” Oliver said, the sincerity evident in his voice. “He was the one who trained you for this. He knows how hectic it could be.”He added, “And he’s still stable. However, they still don’t have any idea why he
Chapter 537: Dealing With The Public Backlash
Using his energy, Oliver was making sure that Reynald was always in good condition, although no one could find why he wasn't waking up yet.“Don’t worry, Sir. Once we find any news about this, we’ll inform you immediately,” the doctor said, the sincerity evident in his tone.Oliver replied, “Please do.”The doctor only nodded in response before exiting the room, leaving Oliver and Reynald alone.Sitting beside Reynald, Oliver’s hands hover just above his chest.Just like with Ray, Nick, and Samuel, Oliver could feel the residual energy in Reynald’s body.His powers were keeping them alive through the blast, and it’s the same with Reynald when it comes to the residual effect of the virus that struck him.It wasn’t healing, not in the traditional sense, but stabilization, holding them in the fragile state between life and collapse until medical help could take over.“Reynald, hang on,” Oliver murmured, closing his eyes as he concentrated his energy. “Just let me do this while the medic
