Chapter 129
Chapter 129
Sancho could hardly believe what he had just witnessed. It felt as though his entire world had collapsed in the blink of an eye. The man he had mocked, humiliated, tied up like an animal, and nearly executed with a single order was the very person who had destroyed his father’s empire within minutes. Every ounce of arrogance vanished from his face, replaced by terror so overwhelming that tears immediately welled in his eyes.
Without another thought, Sancho threw himself onto his knees.
“Please…. please forgive me!” he cried, his voice shaking violently. “I swear I didn’t know who you were. If I had known, I would never have treated you that way. I shouldn’t have done any of those things. Please… just forgive me p>
Marcus looked down at him without the slightest hint of sympathy before letting out a cold scoff.
“You nearly killed me a few moments ago,” he said calmly. “One command from you and your men were ready to pull the trigger and blow my head off p>
Sancho lowered his head until it almost touched the floor.
“It was because I didn’t know who you were,” he pleaded desperately. “Please believe me. If I had known your identity, none of this would have happened p>
Marcus’ eyes grew colder.
“You bullies always use the same excuse,” he replied. “And I’ll always give you the same answer. So if I were really nobody, that would make it acceptable to kill me p>
Sancho opened his mouth, but no words came out. His lips trembled as he searched desperately for something to say, only to realize there was no excuse for what he had done.
Marcus took another step closer.
“And you even dared to kidnap Jessica p>
The words struck Sancho like a hammer.
Fresh tears rolled down his cheeks.
“I’m sorry!” he cried. “Please don’t kill me. I beg you. I’ll do anything you ask. Anything at all. Just spare my life p>
Marcus remained expressionless as he stared down at the broken man kneeling before him.
“Killing you would be too easy p>
He slowly turned toward Lord Coblen. “Cripple him p>
Lord Coblen nodded respectfully. “Yes, sir p>
“So he will never use those legs to walk again,” Marcus finished coldly.
Sancho’s head shot up in horror. “No p>
His face turned deathly pale.”No… please don’t do this p>
I’ll surrender myself to the police, and confess everything. i will never bother Jessica again. i swear p>
“Please p>

His cries echoed throughout the warehouse, but Marcus didn’t respond.
Several soldiers immediately grabbed Sancho before he could crawl away. They pinned him firmly against the concrete floor while he struggled with everything he had.
“Let me go!… Please p>
Meanwhile, another soldier respectfully walked toward Marcus with the Ruby Gem held in both hands.
“Sir p>
Marcus accepted it without saying a word.
The soldier stepped back and bowed.
Sancho continued screaming.
A loud crack suddenly echoed through the warehouse.
“АААААННННННН p>
Sancho’s miserable scream pierced the air as one of his knees was violently broken. Before he could even recover from the unbearable pain, another sickening crack followed.
“YAAAAAAAHHHHH p>
His second leg was twisted in the same brutal manner, leaving both knees permanently ruined. The pain was so overwhelming that his screams gradually turned into broken sobs as tears, sweat, and saliva covered his face.
His men stood frozen where they were.
None of them dared move.
They could only watch helplessly as the once-proud heir of AQSA lay on the ground crying in agony.
Marcus watched everything unfold with quiet satisfaction before turning away without another glance.

Meanwhile, Jessica finally arrived home. She was breathing heavily as she rushed into the living room, her hands still shaking from everything she had witnessed.
Mrs. Morgan and Travis was inside talking together, but the moment they saw Jessica’s pale face and frantic expression, they immediately realized something was terribly wrong.
Jessica hurried to the table, poured herself a glass of water with trembling hands, and emptied it in one breath.
Mrs. Morgan frowned.
“Jessica, what happened? Why are you breathing like that p>
Jessica looked at them with panic written all over her face. “We have to call the police p>
Both of them stared at her.
“They’re going to kill Marcus… no…” She grabbed her head in frustration. “They’ve probably killed him already p>
Travis quickly stood up.

“What are you talking about p>
“Sancho kidnapped him!” Jessica cried. “He’s going to kill Marcus. We have to help him. Please call the police now p>
The moment Mrs. Morgan heard Sancho’s name, her expression changed.
“You mean Sancho… the heir of AQSA p>
Jessica nodded repeatedly.
Mrs. Morgan immediately shook her head.
“We can’t afford to offend someone like him. If we report him to the police and he gets away with it, he’ll destroy this entire family p>
“But Marcus will die!” Jessica shouted.
Mrs. Morgan sighed.
“I don’t know exactly what happened, but if this involves Sancho, we cannot interfere p>
Jessica was about to argue again when her attention was suddenly drawn to the television.
A news anchor was speaking excitedly.
“…AQSA Group is currently facing its biggest crisis p>
“Turn up the volume!” Jessica shouted.
Travis immediately grabbed the remote and increased it.
The three of them watched in stunned silence as report after report described AQSA’s sudden collapse.
“What?” Mrs. Morgan exclaimed. “Bankrupt? Just like that p>
Jessica frowned deeply.
“That doesn’t make sense. A company doesn’t just go bankrupt overnight. There should have been warning signs. How could something like this happen out of nowhere p>
Almost immediately, Marcus crossed her mind.
With trembling fingers, she pulled out her phone and dialed his number.
Her heart pounded inside her chest as the call rang once….Then twice…
Finally, someone answered.
“Hello, Jessica.” Marcus’ calm voice came through the speaker.
“Did you arrive home safely p>
“Marcus?… you are okay?”. She was literally shocked because she believed Sancho would have dealt with him now.
But, he even spoke to her with that confidence. “What… what about Sancho”, He asked.
“The police was here and arrived in time. he has been arrested” Marcus replied calmly.
This made Jessica frowned. Everything just work perfectly for Marcus. The bankruptcy and police arriving in time

to save him.
She gulped as she asked, “Are…. are you the one behind all this p>
