Chapter 23: Victor’s Supernatural Recovery
The address Victor sent led Marcus to the ruins of an old hydroelectric plant deep in the northern cliffs, abandoned, forgotten, and surrounded by nothing but old rock and cold wind.He stepped through rusted doors, his divine aura still humming softly beneath his skin. Every step echoed in the empty chamber. Overhead, old floodlights flickered on, one by one, guided by some unseen presence.Then Victor Blackwood stepped out of the shadows.He looked nothing like the dying man Marcus remembered.His skin glowed faintly under the lights. Veins of pulsing black energy ran down his arms like buried wires. His eyes were pitch-dark, too still, and too knowing. The human in him was gone. He moved with a soldier’s grace, controlled, and lethal.“You’re alive,” Marcus said flatly, though his pulse quickened.Victor smiled darkly. “Alive is… oversimplified.”He spread his arms. “The divine curse you left me with would’ve torn me apart. My body failed and my soul unraveled but then… they found
Chapter 22: Sacrifice and Transcendence
Marcus stared at Chen Wei, every part of him screaming to take action, but the agony slicing through his chest rooted him in place. The machine’s pulse matched the rhythm of his heartbeat now, it was louder, faster. His sword trembled in his grip, its glow fading with every second, the jade ring cracked and flickered like it was about to explode.And Isabella, his mother, was dying right in front of him.Another surge of electricity rushed through her body, causing her to scream. Her scream was weaker this time, not because the pain had lessened, but because she was slipping further from consciousness. Her head leaned forward and the lively glow of her skin had dimmed.Marcus closed his eyes.I can’t lose her, not after everything I’ve done and how far I’ve come. He said to himself.He gritted his teeth, then slowly and deliberately let go of his sword. It clattered to the floor softly.Valentina gasped from where she lay, dazed against the wall.Chen Wei arched a brow. “So… you choos
Chapter 21: The Traitor Revealed
“Welcome home, Marcus.”The voice echoed from deeper in the tunnel, smooth and taunting, with a familiarity that made Marcus’s blood chill.Valentina tensed beside him. “Who was that?”Marcus didn’t answer but he already knew.The figure stepped into the dim emergency lights, his boots clicking lightly against the steel floor. He was dressed in black armor, and strange glowing lines ran across it, pulsing like they were aliveThe man wore no mask and his face was clean-shaven, youthful, confident, and unmistakably familiar.Marcus narrowed his eyes. “Agent Kane.”The man chuckled, slow and mocking. “That’s a code name.”He tilted his head, and the glow from the walls cast sharp shadows across his face.“The name is Chen Wei. You might remember it, my uncle was Elder Chen.”Marcus froze.It hit him like a punch to the chest. Elder Chen’s nephew. The boy who was said to have died during the attack. The one Elder Chen mourned in silence for years.“You were supposed to be dead.”Chen Wei
Chapter 20: Rescued from the Flames
The hospital was still burning.Fire crews scrambled around the building, trying to control the chaos but Marcus didn’t see them. He saw only the black smoke rising up into the sky, the shattered windows, and the place where his mother had been moments ago.No, where she still was.He pushed forward, ignoring the cries of the people telling him to stay back. The heat burned at his skin, but he didn’t stop. The jade ring pulsed against his finger, and the sword in his hand flared to life.With one swift motion, Marcus raised the blade and sliced through the air. The fire parted like a curtain. Smoke rolled back as if the flames were afraid of touching him. Gasps echoed from the onlookers as he walked through the fire, untouched.Inside, the building was nearly unrecognizable. Ceiling panels hung loose, steel beams groaned overhead, and every surface was burnt and destroyed, but he kept going. His eyes scanned the room, every corner, and every hallway.“Mom!” he shouted, desperately cal
The Divine Arsenal
Marcus didn’t flinch.He looked at the sword glowing before him, then back at Alessandro. “They can come,” he said. “Let them try.”He reached out again. This time, he didn’t hesitate.The moment his hand closed around the hilt, a blinding surge of energy ran up his arm, burning through him like fire and lightning mixed into one. The vault lights flickered and the jade ring on his finger glowed so brightly it looked like it would crack.The sword accepted him. There was resistance and no test either. Just ancient power flowing into him like it had always been his.Alessandro stepped back, eyes wide. “It recognizes you,” he said quietly. “The ring too. They’re all connected. This… this was meant to happen.”Marcus held the sword loosely in one hand, but it felt weightless. It thrummed with his heartbeat, like it had become a part of him.He looked around the vault, there were rows of relics, armors, and sealed boxes with ancient markings. Something deeper called to him.“There’s more,”
The Romano Alliance Deepens
As Marcus left the Chen Pharmaceuticals, he went straight to the Romano mansion. The gates of the Romano estate opened before Marcus even slowed his steps. Two guards at the front entrance snapped to attention, with their heads slightly bowed. They didn’t question his presence, not after seeing what he was capable of the last time. They could feel the divine power radiating off him like heat. One of the guards pushed the doors open without a word. “Sir Alessandro is expecting you,” he said simply. Marcus nodded once and strode in. The grand halls of the Romano mansion were silent, lined with tall columns, ancient paintings, and artifacts worth more than most men would earn in a lifetime but Marcus didn’t pay attention to it. He wasn’t easily impressed by luxury. Alessandro Romano stood in the foyer waiting in a tailored navy suit, but there was tension in his gaze the second he saw Marcus. “Dio mio,” Alessandro muttered, stepping forward. “You’re covered in blood.” His eye
