Chapter 61: one step closer
In the dimly lit master bedroom, Marcus stood facing the vanity mirror, removing his worn leather jacket in one motion before placing it on the hanger.In another corner of the room, Quinn sat leaning against the headboard, silently observing her husband's every movement.They had shared this room for the past few weeks, dividing territory like business partners living side by side.Marcus calmly stepped toward the worn-out sofa in the corner of the room, which had been his domain every night.However, the air temperature suddenly dropped sharply through the gap in the window right behind the furniture.The man slowly bent his legs, trying to find a suitable position in the narrow space without complaining.The sofa was so small, even only as long as his knees and only able to accommodate three-quarters of Marcus’s large body.Seeing her husband's stiff posture, Quinn’s grip on the edge of the blanket gradually loosened.Memories of how the man's broad back had blocked Dominic Vance’s
Chapter 60: plan no escape route
Victor slammed a thick stack of old Langford Industries project documents onto his father's mahogany desk."The Langford project was only approved a few weeks ago and hasn’t even been carried out yet," Victor explained as he pulled out a red folder bearing the company’s logo."However, Quinn left far too many digital traces during the initial drafting phase before we kicked her out," the man continued with a widening grin.Sebastian leaned forward, tracing the sheets of white paper with his wrinkled fingers."What exactly are you showing me, Victor?" the old man asked as he adjusted his glasses."A ticket to prison for my beloved niece," Victor replied. "Langford refused to cooperate with us because they consider Quinn a valuable asset.""Then we simply need to uproot that ridiculous narrative," he continued."We turn Dominic Voss’s proud saintly hero into a greedy embezzler who manipulates corporate audits."He picked up a gold pen from the desk, pointing at a series of transactions o
Chapter 59: Inheritance
ThornwallThe darkness of the night that enveloped the main residence of the Kane family felt as cold as an old grave waiting for its new occupant.Behind the double doors, the pungent smell of medicine mingled with the metallic scent of death that was slowly gnawing away at the patriarch.The sound of wet coughing echoed, tearing through the silence of the luxurious room that suddenly felt hollow.The man on the canopy bed coughed violently until fresh blood stained his expensive silk handkerchief.Instead of lying down helplessly waiting for the angel of death to come, he grabbed an antique urn from the bedside table and hurled it toward the line of black-uniformed subordinates in front of him without a hint of guilt.The porcelain shards worth billions of dollars scattered across the Persian carpet as if they were no more valuable than junk from a flea market."Find Marcus right now!" the man roared hoarsely.Bluish veins bulged horrifically along his neck as he glared at his subor
Chapter 58
The apartment door opened with a soft creak. Footsteps dragged across the threshold.Quinn immediately hurried over, her eyes widening at the sight of their arrival.Her usual calm expression shattered instantly.The woman ran toward her mother’s figure. Quinn rushed forward and embraced Diane tightly.Quinn’s sobs broke free, burying her face as she poured out all the emotions that had been churning within her over the past few hours.Diane returned her daughter’s embrace with a trembling body. Not a single word escaped her lips.After a while, Quinn slowly released the hug. She turned to look at her husband who stood silently.Without hesitation, Quinn pulled Marcus into her arms. The scent of sweat mixed with the metallic tang of blood immediately pierced her senses.Marcus returned the embrace with his right hand, allowing his wife to lean against his chest in search of comfort.Quinn’s breathing was still uneven as she held back the remnants of her tears. She pulled away and exam
Chapter 57
The sound of Marcus's breathing filled the air, breaking the silence of the underground arena. The man stood upright in the middle of the canvas floor.The five elite executioners now lay helpless around him.Up on the VIP balcony, the atmosphere suddenly turned tense.The leader of the underground organization gripped the railing tightly. His eyes widened as he stared down at the floor below.The man witnessed the end of the fight. The elite forces he had always been proud of were destroyed in the blink of an eye.Cold sweat seeped out, soaking his temples. His chest rumbled, pumping fear throughout his entire body.His breath felt stuck in his throat.The chairman trembled as he realized that he had just dealt with the wrong monster.The man on the ring was extremely dangerous.With trembling legs, the man in the suit turned and left the VIP balcony. His hand gripped the stair railing as he descended the metal steps.He couldn’t run, of course. The only way to survive tonight was to
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
