“My God… could he be… the legendary marksman?”The bodyguards froze as they stared at the bullet hole in the floor—exactly where Martin had aimed.The hole sat right at the edge of Cassandra’s shoe sole. No gap at all.Not even half a centimeter.“That’s impossible!”Some of these bodyguards were professional shooters.Seeing the technique Martin used, they could only shake their heads in disbelief.That wasn’t ordinary marksmanship.It was an advanced technique achievable only after decades of mastery.Rumor said there was only one person in the world capable of shooting with such precision.But nobody knew his identity.And that shooter had become a legend among professionals.So what about Martin?How old even was he?Did he start training as a baby?Even if he wasn’t the legend, this man was terrifying.The lead bodyguard knew he had to make a quick decision.“We’ll leave. Please don’t harm Miss Cassandra.”He motioned to the others.They holstered their guns and slowly backed awa

“Are you sure you want to stay here?”Gianna couldn’t hide the shock on her face as she stared at the building in front of them.The five-story dorm-like structure, lined with plain, identical rooms, looked far too uninhabitable—at least by her standards.Even the dorm room she had back in college was far better than this.When they left the Hayes Mansion, Gianna had fully intended to find Martin the best hotel in the entire city.Not only as a gesture of gratitude, but also as an apology for not being able to help him reactivate his black card.“Please let me take you somewhere else.”Gianna looked at him pleadingly.But Martin simply laughed.“No. Don’t bother. I’ve stayed here a few times.”He intentionally lied so she wouldn’t worry too much.Back when he worked as a delivery driver, Martin had delivered food to this place several times.That was why it felt familiar to him.While Martin smiled casually, Gianna’s disbelief only grew deeper."Martin Garvey…" she thought."He owns a

One hour earlier.Sitting on the ground beside his BMW, Ethan lifted his head when he noticed the woman behind the wheel of the Audi that Martin had just gotten into.“Isn’t that the woman from the boutique?”Ever since Eleanor’s bodyguards dragged him out, Ethan hadn’t left.He simply sat there on the ground, wallowing in his misery, convinced his life was over the moment he saw who Martin had gone off with.“Oh, so he’s not as innocent as I thought.”Now Ethan understood—Martin must have something going on with that manager.And then an idea flashed through his mind.“Right! If I can get more evidence, I can definitely make Quinn hate him and trust me again!”With that determination, he immediately jumped into his car and hurried to tail them.“Hey, do something for me,” he said over the phone while following the Audi.“I don’t care how you do it—just make it look convincing.”Right before he arrived at the hostel, a photo came through on his phone.A satisfied smile curled on his l

Without saying another word, the twelve men surged forward with excitement toward Martin.“Leave. I have no business with any of you,” Martin said, still standing where he was, not budging an inch.“Hey, you idiot, you talk too much! Take this!”One of the men swung his fist straight at Martin’s face. A rusty knuckle duster wrapped his fingers. If that punch landed, it would split Martin’s cheek open.But before it could reach him, Martin swiftly leaned to the side and grabbed the man’s wrist.With a sharp twist—Crack!“Aaargh!”The man screamed as his arm nearly popped out of its socket.“Go,” Martin said, his voice low.“Before you truly regret staying.”“Bullshit! You still dare talk like that to us?”A man with a dragon tattoo across his back rushed forward, a bottle in hand.“Die!”He swung it at Martin’s head with full force.“Alright. I already warned you. Don’t blame me.”Martin stepped in, lowered his body, and hooked his leg behind the man’s, sweeping him to the ground.Thu

Splash!Martin splashed water onto his face over the sink.With his jacket off, the outline of his muscles showed beneath his shirt.People always assumed Martin was just a tall, skinny man with no strength.They never noticed how his steady, firm steps had always told a different story.When he unbuttoned his shirt, his chest was sharply carved, his abdomen lined with defined ridges.Martin wasn’t skinny.He simply had no fat.Wearing only a pair of shorts, Martin walked toward the bed.Even though he had chosen a private room, there wasn’t much to expect from it.Aside from a washbasin and a toilet, all it had was a bed and a small rack to hang clothes.The bathroom and kitchen were downstairs, shared with everyone else.Martin didn’t need any of that.Today felt different somehow.Lying down on the bed, he stared at the ceiling, a faint strangeness tugging at his heart.For the past three years—even as Quinn’s husband—he had never slept in the same room as her, except during the pa

Meanwhile, Gianna had just finished her shower when she suddenly saw Valentina standing outside the bathroom door.“God! Why are you standing there? You nearly gave me a heart attack!”She never liked surprises. So she truly didn’t expect this.“Gianna, this is far worse than we thought.”“What do you mean?”Gianna asked without even turning around, her hands busy searching for clothes in the wardrobe.“I’m not sure this is safe. We need to stop him.”Gianna turned.It was unusual to hear her sister sounding this anxious.“You’re confusing me. What—no, who are you talking about?”“Who else? Martin. We need to stop him from activating his card.”Gianna froze.Her hand stopped midway as she was about to put on her shorts.Only a towel wrapped around her still-damp body.“Why?”She turned fully toward her sister.“Why would we do that? Isn’t it a good thing if he can access his money again?”“Gianna, listen to me.”Valentina pulled her sister to sit at the edge of the bed.Then she slipp

Norvane International Airport.“Happy Christmas and welcome to Norvane.”A cheerful voice echoed through the speakers, accompanied by light festive music as Martin stepped out of the arrival gate.Although not as crowded as the day before, the airport was still filled with people coming and going.Just as Martin was heading toward one of the taxis lined up outside, a black Huracán screeched to a stop in front of him.When the door lifted upward, a young woman with sunglasses resting atop her head revealed herself.“Mr. Garvey!”Gianna—dressed in an all-white silk blouse and trousers—called out to him.“Good thing I made it in time.”After her conversation with Valentina the previous night, she went to the hostel early in the morning.When she saw that Martin wasn’t in his room, Gianna immediately went to the staff office, where the owner only shook his head.“I’m sorry, Miss. I don’t know where he went, but I overheard something about Norvane Airport. I’m not too sure, though.”Gianna

Martin didn’t think twice. He lunged forward, grabbed Gianna, and pulled her down with him.Thud!“Are you alright?”He checked her quickly.She had been standing directly between him and the sniper. Had he been a second slower, that bullet would’ve pierced straight through her chest.Gianna nodded, breath unsteady, eyes wide in shock.Her chest rose and fell rapidly.“I’ve found his position. Stay here.”Martin started to get up, but Gianna grabbed his hand.“Mr. Garvey, wait.”“What is it?”“Please… don’t go.”“Why?”“He’s attacking you because you’re a Spectre, right?”Gianna stared at him intently.Martin didn’t reply. He only frowned at her.She even knows about Spectres?“If he was sent to kill me, he won’t stop until he succeeds.”“Then let’s leave right now,” Gianna urged. “We just need to find a safe place.”Martin shook his head.“That’s not how it works. Once they’ve marked you, they never let you go. There’s only one way to end this.”He gently removed her grip on his arm.

"I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the black card. Even if I didn’t activate it, they would still come after me."Martin spoke calmly as he guided Gianna toward the Lambo."As you suspected, they’re Hunt3rs. They don’t pull the trigger unless they’re absolutely certain of the target’s identity."If they fired, that meant they were sure Martin’s name was on their list."But at least they won’t keep chasing you endlessly… right?"Gianna still couldn’t accept the situation."No."Martin shook his head."At the very least, I’m safe for a few days."Gianna fell silent.She could try telling herself that the Hunt3rs were only after Martin.But what if they weren’t?"But…""Trust me."Martin nodded slightly.He was telling the truth — the Hunt3rs weren’t after her.But that they wouldn’t come again for him?That was a lie.Martin knew deep down they could strike anytime."Hunt3rs have a reputation," he thought. "They don’t let it be tarnished by failure."If an executioner is eliminated

Pop!Pop!Pop!Right after the steel door closed, every light inside the chamber went out one by one.A moment later, thick clusters of smoke began to seep out from each corner.Rising quickly to chest level, it took only seconds before it entered Martin’s nose.“This…”Martin didn’t have time to think. A sharp pulse hit the inside of his skull, pounding violently.The more smoke he inhaled, the stronger the effect became.Seconds later, Martin felt as if his body had been flipped upside down—his head at the bottom, his feet somewhere above.Yet even so, he didn’t panic.He tried to steady his breathing, keeping it calm and controlled, until the darkness before his eyes shifted—Replaced by a dimly lit room where a group of military men were herding children toward the edge of a large, deep pool.It wasn’t an ordinary pool.Bubbles surged up from beneath its surface.A pool filled with scalding water.The heat thickened the air the closer they got.The soldiers pushed the children for
