Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 71: Investigation
Oliver followed where Ray was looking, and his eyes narrowed upon seeing a familiar guy sitting on the couch.It was Ryan, who had a genuine smile on his face despite having tons of bandages all over his body.“You were shocked, weren't you?” Ryan asked, his voice weak yet authoritative.Melissa and Ray thought of the same thing. After all, Oliver just came to Ryan’s burial.He would be confused to see Ryan, the one they were mourning with at the burial earlier, was now in front of him, alive and kicking.However, what happened afterward was the complete opposite.Oliver sat beside Ryan and smirked. “Why would I be shocked if I know you’re still alive?”“What?” Ryan blinked in surprise. “What do you mean, you know?”Ray, who had planned everything, froze in his spot.“Did I overlook something that made you think he’s alive?” Ray asked, the worry evident on his face. “Do the enemies also know he’s still alive?”He referred to Zayne.“No. I’m certain right now that it’s only me,” answer

‘Oliver would be shocked if he saw this. I know he isn’t expecting it as much as I do,’ Ryan thought, his glance moving to the compartment where he placed the envelope.However, as Ryan’s gaze moved back to the road, he screamed as a truck was driving toward his direction.“Shit!” Ryan exclaimed as he drifted the car to the side.He thought his misery would end there, but to his shock, another black car bumped Ryan’s car on the side, making his car swerve until he hit a large tree nearby.Ryan was frozen in his spot. Blood dripped from his forehead due to the explosion, and he couldn’t think straight.“What the hell…” Ryan muttered, his hands moving to his pocket to call Oliver.But he stopped upon seeing a man wearing all-black clothing, with a face mask and cap covering him, enter the car through the passenger seat.“Calling for help, huh?” asked the man with a smirk.He took the phone from Ryan’s pocket, followed by pulling Ryan by the collar outside the car.Ryan couldn’t help bu

“L-Let me go…” Ryan tried to scream, but it only sounded like a whisper as he had difficulty speaking.His mind was dizzy, his unconsciousness already taking over. But Ryan still fought for his life—not just for himself, but for the entire Williams Corporation.Ryan tried to break the window, but it was to no avail.He couldn’t have enough strength to breathe, what more to break a window to escape?Seeing Ryan’s suffering, the man laughed devilishly.“Just keep on dreaming that you can escape, old hag. Because you can’t. You’re going to die here,” the man said.At first, Ryan couldn’t understand the sense behind the man’s words.But as he saw the man going back to the car he used, taking a gas container, and pouring its contents on Ryan’s car, Ryan couldn’t help but shiver.“He’s planning to burn me alive…” Ryan froze in his spot upon the realization. “Help! Somebody help me!”“Help! Please help!” the man exclaimed with a smirk, mimicking Ryan’s words. “Old hag, can’t you see that we
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 74: Strange
“And that’s what happened,” Melissa said, ending the story. “I provided a helicopter for Ray as he said that he couldn’t bring Sir Ryan to the hospital.”Oliver looked at Ray, his expression laced with warning and confusion at the same time.“I know we have other hideouts safer than this, but this became my best choice,” Ray confessed.He added, “You know that this is the only safe house that has all the medicines we need. Ryan was in a critical situation at that time, and so am I. This place could heal us.”Although that specific safe house was dangerous because of the monsters hiding in the forest, it was also the Legion V’s sanctuary at the same time.Some of the plants at the forest were poisonous, but most of them had healing capabilities that could cure a person’s wound much faster than any scientific medicine could do.Even the air, which is fresher than the mini-villages and the capital, could give someone peace.They may not know how, but everyone could feel it.“If I broug
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 75: Hesitation
Oliver didn’t answer, but his brows furrowed, understanding what Ryan was saying.“You also think about it.” It wasn’t a question from Ryan, but a statement. “Internalize all his answers from earlier. Something was strange.”“I know,” Oliver admitted, then massaged his forehead. “But he’s a close friend of mine. I don’t think he will betray me.”Ryan smiled and shook his head.“I didn’t say that he betrayed you, Oliver. I’m just saying he’s strange,” Ryan said, trying to lessen the negative thoughts.“Maybe there’s another reason—something only you can ask,” he added. “Although he brought u

Realizing the situation, Ray cursed in his mind and moved quickly to save Ryan.He did, although they were still somehow caught in the explosion.“If only I decided quickly, not only would I save Ryan, but I would also manage to retrieve that document,” Ray confessed, sighing. “Leaving that envelope isn’t a part of my plan. It may be hard to believe, but I’m telling the truth.”Ray looked away. It hurt him that Oliver was doubting his loyalty, but Ray couldn’t blame him.His reactions and movements may be suspicious to everyone else, but that’s just him being extra careful.“I trust you, but I have a hard time trusting the people around you,” said Ray in a low tone. “But I know I did the wrong thing by almost letting him die. I’m sorry.”Oliver smiled, patting Ray on the shoulder. “You don’t need to apologize to me. I’m not the one you hurt. It should be Ryan.”“Right…” Ray showed a small smile. “I should, so I can clear up our misunderstandings as well.”With Oliver nodding, the sile
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 77: Idea
“That is why I need to go back as soon as possible,” Melissa added as she stood up. “I’m sorry. I’ll go back as soon as it’s done.”“No worries,” Oliver reassured. “You should go now.”“Thank you, Commander.”Melissa didn’t waste any more time. She went to the helicopter and used it to fly back to the Legion.“You should also take a rest now, Ryan,” commanded Oliver in a gentle tone. “So you could return to the Williams Corporation in no time.”“I understand.” Ryan nodded before going back to his room with Ray accompanying him.With his observant nature, Ryan immediately understood that Oliver wanted him out of the picture for now so he and Ray could talk alone.‘They are teammates, and they have been working with each other’s sides for a long time,’ Ryan thought.‘But why is something bothering me? Why do I feel like a crucial thing is missing?’“I heard that Legion V saved you before,” Ray said, snapping Ryan from his thoughts. “But is that enough reason for you to be loyal to our c
Zero: God Of Mercenary Chapter 78: Rumored Path
“Do you think the idea came from me? I don’t even know how Oliver thinks, nor how the Legion moves,” Zayne’s boss said upon answering the call.“What?” Zayne asked, his brows furrowed in confusion. Then, he realized something.“This idea… came from our ally from the Legion itself?”“Right,” his boss confirmed. “He is helping you by limiting Oliver’s movements for now as they didn’t have a backup, so you can move freely.”He added, “I didn’t know why he was doing this, even though I reported the mistake you made by having Ryan Williams killed. But I guess you should take it as a second chance.”“Maybe he realized that it should be done, and it wasn’t a mistake,” Zayne said, his tone slightly arrogant.“Anyway, if that’s all, I’ll end the call now.”And before his boss could argue, Zayne already ended the call.That was the first time Zayne did it, and it felt liberating. After following all of his boss’ orders, he finally managed to break free.“Who cares about him if I have the main

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
Chapter 205: By Hook Or By Crook
“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
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 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
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
