Chapter 258 Hektor (1/2)

Once Kris and Joesph retreated Phil and Marge headed to the switch hidden on the football field. The ground started to shake, and after a few seconds, the ground opened up showing a staircase and a steel door.

Oliver who was carrying the injured Specter was surprised to see something like this underneath the school's football field.

'When did they have time to build this thing!? They even did it without anyone noticing. I'm sure Emily told me that Alex had placed surveillance cameras all over the school ever since he came here. That would mean Dad and Mom did this before I attended this school, or they somehow changed the footage in Alex's surveillance cameras. Well either way, this is way too much.'

Oliver already knew that his parents could be considered something like mad scientists. Still this structure was a surprise to him.

...

Phil and Marge headed straight to the steel door, and were about to use their access cards that they created. Yet the moment they looked at the steel door, they noticed that someone had tampered with the system placed on the door.

This meant that someone was already inside waiting for them. Still they had no choice but to go in, there were too many important equipment in this secret base. The two headed inside, and Oliver who was carrying Specter followed.

...

Phil who was ahead of the group saw that the lights of the lab were turned on, and he could hear the sound of someone tapping on the table. Phil and the others looked at each other and took out their weapons. Even though both Phil and Marge were scientist, but their skill in battle was not something to brush off. Even if you were not part of the field agents in the Shadow Mercenaries, there was still a minimum strength requirement to join. The strength of a person that wants to join must be at least near the upper limits of an A rank merc.

So both Phil and Marge were at that level, even if skill wise they were the weakest in the organization, but in the outside they were part of the higher echelons. So with Oliver by their side they thought they could handle whoever it was that broke in. Yet the moment they saw the face of the man that was waiting for them, the perpetual smile Phil and Marge had disappeared for a second.

The man in front of them was the most dangerous person they could meet at this point. He was also the person they wanted to avoid at all cost, but as usual fate was really unpredictable.

There in front of them was a man of medium build, that look a bit similar to Oliver and was wearing a black suit with matching black gloves. This man was the uncle of James Bourne, Hektor.

Seeing the group of people he was waiting for, Hektor smiled at them. He then looked at Oliver and that smile of his got even wider.

”Oh, if it isn't the new leader of the Shadow Mercenaries, to what do we owe the pleasure?” Phil initiated a conversation with his usual smiling face.

”Do I really need a reason to come and see my one and only nephew?” Hektor looked at Oliver and spoke to him. ”It's been a long time James. Look how much you've grown, as expected of my nephew.”

Hektor was about to approach the utterly confused Oliver, but Phil and Marge blocked his path. Seeing this made Hektor frown.

”What do you two think you're doing? It would seem that you two think, I gone soft or something. Daring to block my path, even though I didn't kill you immediately since you took care of my nephew so well over the years. I'll give you a chance, apologize now, and move out of the way.”

It was at that moment everyone present could feel a suffocating pressure envelope them. Even Specter who was unconscious was jolted awake by the pressure. Phil and Marge knew that they won't be able to stop one move from Hektor. This was the guy who was the top of the Shadow Mercenaries, a place where the strong gather to reach their ideals. The only one who was stronger than this guy in the organization would be the man behind the curtain.

Still even knowing this, Phil and Marge didn't back down. They knew that the moment Hektor reaches Oliver, would spell his death.

”He doesn't remember anything anymore. He no longer remembers who James Bourne is, and is now Oliver Minx.”
