Chapter 56
The giant man stomped his foot onto the canvas floor. His massive body shot forward, crashing through the air toward Marcus.He swung his fist, preparing to smash his opponent’s head."Crush his skull!" shouted a spectator from the edge of the arena."Make him eat his own teeth!" another man chimed in while throwing a plastic cup toward the ring.Marcus did not move his feet at all; he stared straight at the fist flying rapidly toward him.Just before the punch landed, the giant changed his movement.The big man’s left hand reached to his waist, pulling a curved knife from behind his belt.He slashed the weapon across toward Marcus’s neck."Die!" roared the giant while baring his rows of teeth.Diane turned her face away from her seat."Don’t splatter his filthy blood on me!" the middle-aged woman screamed with her eyes closed.Marcus lowered his stance, dodging without anyone noticing."What?" The giant widened his eyes upon realizing that his attack had only struck empty air.Marcus
Chapter 55
Marcus closed the apartment unit door with a calm motion.The man left his wife inside and did not forget to order several of his subordinates to tighten security.Without wasting time, he walked toward his black car parked at the end of the street.Marcus immediately got in and started the engine. His hands gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white.He drove his vehicle, cutting through the city streets that were slowly growing quiet.The streetlights flickered rapidly, reflecting off his windshield. The view of the skyscrapers gradually faded far behind him.The luxurious district was now replaced by an abandoned industrial area.The black car finally turned into a rocky vacant lot. Dust scattered as the tires scraped against the dry dirt road.In front of him stood an old, dark factory building.The outer walls of the building were covered in wild moss and graffiti. The window glass had shattered, leaving behind decaying rusted iron frames.Marcus turned off the en
Chapter 54:
The footsteps of Marcus and Quinn echoed steadily, slicing through the silence of the night outside the Sterling residence. Victor’s angry shouts gradually faded behind them.The two of them quickly entered the black car that had been waiting in front of the iron gate.The atmosphere inside the car felt quiet and stiff. Quinn stared at the brown folder on her lap with an empty gaze for a moment.She then slowly turned her head toward her husband, who sat calmly in the driver’s seat."Marcus, who were those men in black suits earlier?" Quinn asked, breaking the silence between them.Her tone carried immense curiosity. Her beautiful eyes traced the lines of her husband’s face from the side.Marcus turned the steering wheel casually without taking his eyes off the road ahead.His face looked flat and expressionless as usual. "They’re just my old colleagues," he answered briefly without returning his wife’s gaze.Quinn frowned upon hearing that answer. "That many? What exactly was your jo
Chapter 53:
Seraphina's face flushed all the way down to her neck. Her breathing rose and fell rapidly as she stared at the maestro still kneeling on the floor.The grand party she had painstakingly prepared was completely ruined within two hours. Her gaze sharpened fiercely toward the man sitting quietly at the piano bench.The tips of Seraphina's nails dug hard into her own palms.Quinn broke the stiff silence that blanketed the banquet hall by stepping forward.Her posture blocked Seraphina's hostile gaze from her husband's direction.Quinn lifted her chin, her face calm. "Time is up," the woman said. "Fulfill your promise now. Hand over the house claim documents to me."Seraphina shifted her gaze from Marcus to Quinn's face. The corner of her lips slowly curled upward. Her gloomy expression quickly evaporated.A soft laugh slipped from her throat. The discordant sound echoed against the marble pillars.Seraphina crossed her arms in front of her chest, her posture straightening again with her
Chapter 52
Marcus ignored the disdainful gazes from dozens of pairs of eyes around him. The man pulled the chair in front of the grand piano with a calm movement.His posture immediately straightened as he faced the rows of piano keys.His large fingers slowly lifted as if weighing the pull of gravity.The luxurious banquet hall was still filled with whispers of doubt.A second passed before Marcus’s fingers plunged sharply downward. He struck the piano keys with full force without any warning.The sound of the first crashing note shattered the night air.Marcus did not choose an ordinary classical piece for his opening.He played Opus Clavicembalisticum skillfully. This masterpiece is known as a deadly composition for pianists.The complex notes poured out under the pressure of his fingers. A series of heavy chords collided, creating a storm of melody.The tempo surged upward.Marcus’s fingers moved like lightning striking the keyboard. His movements created an optical illusion as if he possess
Chapter 51
Seraphina snorted upon hearing Quinn’s firm answer at the edge of the lobby. The woman in the luxurious dress turned around without replying to those words.The invited guests also began to disperse from the lobby area. They started moving to fill the spacious main banquet hall.The welcoming party for Seraphina officially began that night.Quinn walked side by side with Marcus into the central area.Dozens of pairs of eyes continued to observe the couple’s every move. Low whispers could be faintly heard among the clinking of glassware.Quinn kept her shoulders straight as she stepped forward. She did not allow those belittling gazes to disturb her composure.From within the crowd of guests, a dignified old man stepped forward.Sebastian Sterling appeared with an arrogant expression that dominated the atmosphere. Quinn’s grandfather held a glass of drink in his right hand.Sebastian stopped right in front of his granddaughter. His eyes scanned Quinn’s appearance from head to toe coldl
