Chapter 261
Not only Quinn, but her two younger sisters also showed no better expressions.While Gianna kept her head lowered, sobbing softly, Valentina continued biting her lower lip.“Damn it,” she muttered under her breath. “How did it end up like this?”She had never imagined she would end up in a situation she despised so much—becoming the wife of a perverted prince she hated with all her heart and soul.And as if her suffering didn’t stop there, she had to watch her two sisters fall into the same fate.Should I rely on Martin?That thought suddenly crossed her mind without her realizing it.All this time, in almost every problem and difficulty she had faced, he was the one who had helped her.It had become a habit—so it was only natural for her to think of the same thing now.But Valentina quickly shook her head and closed her eyes.“No. I can’t be selfish. This isn’t the time for that. This is the time to repay the kindness he has shown me.”She might keep telling herself that.But of cour

“Wait.”Stopping in her tracks, Quinn immediately turned toward the source of the voice.So did her two sisters.“Natasha?” Valentina muttered weakly. “What does she want now?”She knew this woman had never had any good intentions toward their family.Stopping the ceremony did not make Valentina think any better of her.If anything, it only deepened her suspicion.Ignoring the gazes of the three girls—and of everyone else—Natasha stepped forward, standing level with them beneath the podium as she looked at Richard.“Your Highness, marriage is a sacred bond. And it should only take place between two parties who are not bound by any prior ties.”As she said that, a smirk formed on her lips.It wasn’t that she didn’t know Quinn’s relationship with Martin was merely cohabitation. But she had no intention of missing this opportunity for her own benefit.“What do you mean?” Richard said. Though still seated, his posture began to show discomfort.“Your Highness, doesn’t this young lady still

It stated that if the prince didn’t want any trouble, he had to appoint Natasha as the Head of Palace in front of everyone—right now.With that position, not only would Natasha have authority above the Head of Housekeeper, who merely handled internal palace affairs, it would also grant her influence over all matters related to the palace—both internal and external.And more importantly, her safety would immediately fall under the direct protection of the head of security, where she would hold second priority.“You know that’s impossible, right?” Richard whispered, lowering both his voice and his face toward Natasha. “That’s the king’s authority. I can’t do that.”The Head of Palace held a special position, answering directly to the King. In short, the person in this role acted as an advisor—someone who could directly influence the king or the prince.Given the importance of the role, it was usually filled by former generals with decades of experience or senior members of the extended

Meanwhile, outside the palace.Thud!Instead of walking away, Lana deliberately bumped into Martin.Then, with a subtle movement, she raised her hand behind her back—as if signaling something to him.“Hmmm?”Frowning slightly, Martin quickly understood the meaning behind the gesture.Looking at Lana’s back, there was a tiny listening device—no bigger than a mung bean—attached to her dress.Lana couldn’t remove it herself, as that would raise suspicion.So she needed Martin to do it.Pinching it between his fingers, Martin flicked the tiny device away.“Don’t move. Stay like this,” Lana said the moment he did what she needed.There were dozens of CCTV cameras pointed at them from all directions. In this position, it was the only blind spot where Lana could avoid being seen clearly.“What’s going on?” Martin asked, sensing something unusual in her tone.“Martin, leave now. Please.”“Why?”“They’re targeting you. They’ll make their move during the wedding.”Lana hadn’t been acting overly

19:54One minute before the attack.“Thank you, Your Majesty.”With a serious expression, Natasha bowed to Ferdinand.And despite the very low cut of her dress, she made no effort to cover her chest, as if deliberately displaying her assets to the king.“Your trust is a responsibility I will uphold with all my heart and soul.”On the other side, as Ferdinand looked at Natasha, his Adam’s apple bobbed. He could barely maintain his composure.In truth, although she was not as beautiful as Silvana or his three daughters, Natasha was still an extraordinary woman.As a former top supermodel, her beauty enchanted anyone who laid eyes on her.Before marrying Arminio Bucci, nearly every wealthy man in the country had lined up at her doorstep.Moreover, Ferdinand’s reputation was not much different from his son’s.Although he had reduced his involvement with many women after marrying Queen Consort Isabella, rumors said the king had never truly changed.Straightening up and noticing Ferdinand’s

“Hello, Chief.”From four different directions, eight men dressed in black, their faces covered with masks and tactical goggles, walked toward Martin.“It feels like it’s been a while since we last greeted each other. I’m sure you’re more than happy now,” one of them continued.Although their tone sounded casual and friendly, and their gestures were relaxed, each of them held a long rifle in their right hand.Hearing their voices, Lana’s heartbeat grew even faster.She knew who they were.Spectre 22–29.According to their ranking, these people were highly skilled close-combat specialists.Without saying a word, Lana took a deep breath. Her mind worked frantically, trying to come up with a final move to buy Martin time to escape.But it was useless—no solution came to mind.Facing a group of Spectres like this was like reaching a dead end.Even so, she refused to give up just like that.“Martin, go.”Holding back the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, she pushe

“Huh! You talk too much for someone whose body already reeks of death! Pathetic!”Beep!Right after the Spectre said that, the clock struck 19:55, and the tactical watches on each of their wrists beeped simultaneously.“I gave you a chance, and you wasted it. At the very least, don’t regret your fate.”One by one, the Spectres put on their steel helmets, which had built-in masks and night vision on the front.But before Spectre 22 could do so, Martin stopped him.“Wait. Are you sure those long-range weapons can penetrate bulletproof armor?”“Huh! Idiot! Are you really Spectre One? How could you ask such a low-level question? Of course they can destroy your body! Hahaha!”Laughing loudly, Spectre 22 put on his helmet as well.These Spectres wore combat uniforms like the one Valentina had used before.A regular handgun might need twenty shots to penetrate it.But not the long-range rifles used by the snipers on the rooftops.A single bullet was enough to pierce that bulletproof suit.“O

Fifteen years earlier.Sakkarah Desert.Belvaria.“Trying to be a hero, huh? Try doing that again now! Hahaha!”A soldier kicked the small boy—who wasn’t even ten years old yet—off the back of a truck.Thud!His body hit the ground hard, barely managing to land properly as his face slammed straight into the sand.“Hahaha! Idiot! Who told you to think about someone else’s life when you should be thinking about your own?!” another soldier mocked.An hour earlier, after a CCTV camera above the hot pool captured young Martin helping young Lana so she wouldn’t drown, the soldiers had immediately grabbed him roughly by the back of his collar before he could reach his room.“Enjoy your last night air! Hahaha!” another soldier said. “And don’t worry—when that girl grows up, we’ll make sure she’s strong enough to entertain all of us! Hahaha!”Their laughter faded along with the sound of the truck driving away.“Come back!” Martin shouted, struggling to get up. “Come back! Don’t leave me!”He k

Back to the present.Click!As the lights outside the palace went out one by one until almost no light remained, Martin closed his eyes as well.At this moment, he deliberately shut down his extremely sharp sense of sight so that his energy could be focused on his hearing instead.And because Martin’s hearing was just as sharp as his vision, concentrating double the energy on a single sense made his hearing ten times more sensitive than usual.Crack!Wung-wung!Sniff!From the breathing of the Spectres around him, their heartbeats, insects in the air, to even the faint sounds of ants on the ground—everything rang clearly in his ears, flooding his brain with information that had to be processed in an instant.“It’s show time.”When his ears caught what Spectre 22 said, Martin grinned with his eyes still closed.“For me. Not for you.”Bang!The moment the trigger was pulled, Martin tilted his head to the side, causing the bullet to miss—even though he was only three meters away from Spe

“Damn! This is really bad!”Through the communication channel, Spectre 13 kept muttering in a rushed, trembling voice.“Eight Spectres have fallen! The target is still holding on!”But that was the last sentence he spoke before collapsing, crimson liquid flowing down his forehead.“13? Is that confirmed?” said Spectre 12.He, along with Spectre 14 through Spectre 18—who had been stationed in different positions—began paying close attention.“13?”There was no response.“Snipers, we have to move now,” said Spectre 12, picking up his long rifle.He had been guarding the rear section of the palace rooftop, assigned there in case Martin tried to escape that way.Even so, he didn’t think that would happen, because those stationed at the front should have been more than enough to eliminate the so-called legend.“I’m heading to the front.”Bang!Bang!Bang!What?Spectre 12 froze in place, his brows furrowing.“What’s going on?” he muttered.As everyone knew, while Spectre 22 excelled at clo
