Chapter 255 I am who I am! (2/2)

Sensing the change in tactics, Oliver quickly kicked Kris away. When Oliver's kick hit Kris' stomach he flew backward creating some distance between them. Seeing the distancing enemy, Oliver quickly chased the flying figure of Kris, yet as he flew backward because of the kick, Kris was still able to shoot at Oliver making it hard for Oliver to dash at full speed.

”Sh*t the hell happened to your power! That f*cking hurts, and I'm wearing the latest ballistic vest created by our organization. Yet your kick hurt more than a f*cking rifle shot! Still this style of fighting, this intensity, you really are James!”

”Like I said stop barking!” Oliver was about to charge forward again, but Kris signaled him to stop.

”I give up, James. With your style of fighting, I won't be able to win. This is a mismatch... Now and before I really can't beat you... I don't know why you're helping the traitors, but I'm sure you have a good reason for doing so. Still, James, how about coming back to HQ, to the Shadow Mercenaries. I'm sure if you meet the others we can sort things out.”

Oliver was about to answer, but someone interrupted him.

”He can't do that since the current leader wants him dead.” The one who spoke was Phil, who suddenly appeared behind Oliver.

”The leader wants him dead? That doesn't make sense, why would he want to do that? I don't know about you, but I know what relationship James has with the leader, and I'm sure he wouldn't want to kill James.”

”He's his nephew.” Kris was shocked to hear Phil say that, and that shock was shown in the expression on his face.

”If you know that, then how come you're telling me he wants James dead?”

”James is Gabriel's son.”

”Wait, what! Gabriel's son!” Kris knew about James being the son of Hektor's sister Patricia, but he didn't know who the father was. Yet now Phil was telling him James was Gabriel's son, this made the whole wants to kill James theory more plausible. Oliver who was listening in the conversation was confused. Did his dad just say he was the son of another man?

”So do you think the leader wants James to live?”

”So what is it you want us to do?” Another person suddenly intruded in the conversation. It was Joseph, who tossed a beaten down Specter on the floor. The fight wasn't fair since Specter didn't have the whole force of his nanomachines.

”Do what you want, I'm just giving you some facts. I can't really stop you from doing anything.” Phil shrugged his shoulders.

Kris started to think, now that Specter was out of the equation and he was paired with Joseph it was now possible to capture the traitors and James. Still was that the right move to do. It seems like there was something deeper at play here, and their leader was manipulating them.

Hektor might be the leader of the Shadow Mercenaries, and the members listen to him because of the rules. Still the members of the Shadow Mercenaries were people with huge egos and great strength. So the idea of not being told everything and being manipulated like puppets didn't really sit well with either Kris or Joseph.

”Fine, I'm going to retreat for now and do some digging. How about you Joseph?”

”I guess I'll do the same.”

”Very well. If we find out that you've been playing with us Phil, then the next time we meet, we won't try and capture you, we'll f*cking kill you.” After saying that both Kris and Joseph retreated.

Once their figures disappeared from sight, Oliver faced his dad.

”Hey, dad, what were you guys talking about? Please, can you tell me, do those people have something to do with the dreams I keep on having? Also, why did you say my real dad was Gabriel? Am I really James Bourne not Oliver Minx?”

”I'm sorry son, but we have no time for that now. I promise once this is all over I will explain everything to you. Also about you being James Bourne or Oliver Minx, didn't you already answer that yourself?”

Hearing what his dad said, Oliver was stunned for a moment before he started to mumble something under his breath.

”I am who I am.”
