2025-03-15 01:01:48"Mr. Belmont..."
Preston didn't give the order right away. Instead, his eyes were locked onto Marc and his expression extremely tense.
If his voice had been calm before, now he could no longer maintain it, as if the situation had spiraled completely out of control.
But, for a few seconds, Marc remained silent, his gaze fixed on the marquis.
"Mr. Belmont, I can't risk everyone's safety. I..."
Preston was losing patience. He couldn't afford to wait any longer, or the situation would truly slip beyond his grasp. But before the major general could continue speaking, Marc beat him to it.
"Go ahead. You can close the roof now."
Preston immediately turned around and shouted toward the far corner. "Close it now!"
A loud mechanical whir filled the room as the thick, steel-reinforced concrete roof slid back into place. Once it was fully closed, plunging the chamber into darkness, Preston gestured to one of the officers standing behind hi

Chapter 377 - The Peak of Wrath
“Duchess Vexley, please…”Marc's voice was soft, almost pleading—but his attacks never ceased.Because if he stopped now, even for a second, it would give Miralda the opening she needed to retaliate. And if that happened, this battle wouldn't end—it would drag on even longer. And that… that was the last thing Marc wanted.“I’m begging you, just stop and listen to me. I truly want to propose a partnership.”Hundreds of thousands of water-formed fists continued to pound relentlessly against the body of the Phoenix as Marc spoke. And just as he predicted, his opponent was clearly struggling to keep up with the barrage.“Damn it! How is this kid so powerful?!”Miralda cursed under her breath, gritting her teeth as pain stabbed through her body like needles. The water strikes rained down in rapid succession, tearing into her massive Phoenix form.And when she heard Marc's talk of "cooperation," her mind instantly twisted it into something else—something she found far more insulting.“He wa
Chapter 376 - Soft Palm Technique vs. Phoenix Assault
The Soft Palm Technique, true to its name, was a method more focused on defense than offense. Still, it remained one of Marc’s most powerful mental combat techniques. In this mode, his body absorbed energy from the environment to fuel his attacks.At this moment, seeing that Miralda had activated a fire-based technique with an overwhelmingly aggressive aura, Marc chose to absorb water energy to counter it. And just ten seconds after activating the mode, the small droplets of water rising from the ground beneath him surged into a massive wave—towering twenty meters high.“Soft Palm Technique!”Marc thrust both palms forward just as the Phoenix’s beak closed in within ten meters.In that instant, the massive wave burst outward at incredible speed, morphing into countless smaller palm-shaped projections—each the size of an adult human hand. There weren’t just thousands of them, but tens of thousands, hurtling forward like a storm.Bang! Bang! Bang!The barrage of watery palms slammed int
Chapter 375 - The Ultimate Attack
“Duchess Vexley, please believe me—I didn’t come here with any ill intent, especially not the kind you’re accusing me of.”Marc’s voice was calm, almost pleading.“I only want us to work together.”He truly didn’t want to fight Miralda. But judging by her expression, his words did nothing to ease her fury.“What else do you have to say?” Miralda shouted, her eyes blazing with the color of roaring flames.And it wasn’t just her eyes anymore. The fire engulfing her body surged even higher, surrounding her in an inferno.“I know you’ve always seen me as weak. I know you’ve never used your full strength against me. I know that, in your eyes, I’m not even worth taking seriously—because I’ve never been able to beat you. So tell me, what could you possibly want from someone like me?”The more she screamed, the more violently the flames around her body expanded. Now, they began to form the towering shape of a phoenix—nearly thirty meters tall—rising behind her, its wings unfurling with a scor
Chapter 374 - The Bitter Truth
"This can’t be real, right?"Miralda shook her head firmly as she stared at Marc standing below the stage. To her, this reality was just too perfect to be true."He's still so young… and already a Vice Grand Marquis?"She knew Elliot well—a Grand Marquis known for his kind demeanor but extreme perfectionism. He would never entrust a mission to someone he didn’t fully believe in. Appointing someone as his Vice was beyond improbable unless that person had earned his absolute trust.If Elliot had given Marc the position, then didn’t that mean this young man truly was capable?At this point, Miralda couldn’t even try to deny it by claiming Marc had made it all up—that he had stolen the information somehow.Why?Because it was impossible.No one could steal a token from Elliot. The Grand Marquis never let his token out of his hands, especially not to a criminal.And then there was the name Skarleta. The fact that Marc had mentioned her was more than just proof—it was an undeniable confirma
Chapter 373 - Give Me the Token
Back to the present.“I want,” Marc continued calmly, “for you to hand over the token to me.”He looked Miralda straight in the eyes, calm yet commanding. Then, in a surprisingly humble gesture, he extended not just one hand—but both—toward her in a silent plea.Despite his current status being higher than Miralda’s, Marc didn’t hesitate to lower himself. He wasn’t here to strong-arm the duchess—only to ask, sincerely, for the token.But Miralda responded with a cold, cynical smirk.“Hmph. You don’t have to play nice with me. It won’t work,” she scoffed. “Besides, it’s laughable to hear a kid your age talk like that. Do you even understand what you’re saying?”She could sense Marc’s mysterious power—but this was the mental realm. For all she knew, the strength he projected was nothing more than an illusion, a spell designed to manipulate her thoughts. Just like he had done with everyone else here.More importantly, she was still uncertain whether the young man standing before her was
Chapter 372 - A Change of Plans
While Miralda still appeared lost in thought, Godfrey rose once more from his seat and bowed deeply to her.“Your Grace, there’s no need to apologize. You saved my life.”For the first time in his life, Godfrey spoke those words with genuine sincerity. He still remembered how excruciating the pain in his head had been moments ago—so intense he’d felt like he was standing at death’s door. Realizing he was still alive because of Miralda, he now knew he owed her more than he could ever repay.“That’s a debt greater than my life itself. I won’t forget it.”“There’s no need for such formality. Sit.”Miralda gave him a slight nod, his words snapping her out of her daze. Still, her expression hadn’t entirely relaxed.“Why do I feel that aura still lingering around here?” she wondered.Her eyes swept the room again, but just like before, she saw nothing unusual.However, since the aura wasn’t attacking her, she chose not to strike—though she remained on guard.“Thank you, Your Grace,” Godfrey
