chapter 243
A Marcus had expected, neither robber could stand.
The first robber tried to push himself up with one trembling arm, but his strength gave out almost immediately. He collapsed back onto the floor, clutching his stomach. Beside him, the second robber groaned and tried to crawl away, only to wince as pain shot through his body.
They could barely move, let alone fight back.
Marcus walked toward them slowly. He stopped in front of the two men before squatting down, his expression calm but his eyes cold.
“Is this what you’re using your power for p>
Neither man answered. Marcus looked from one to the other. “You were gifted with the ability to become stronger than ordinary people, and this is what you chose to do with it? Rob people? Terrify innocent people? Use your strength to take whatever you want p>
The first robber lowered his eyes.
Marcus shook his head. “Uhn. What a waste p>
He stood and looked down at them. “Power is supposed to make you stronger, but instead of using yours to protect yourselves or others, you use it for corruption p>
The second robber gritted his teeth. “We p>
Marcus suddenly stepped on his hand.
“АННН p>
The robber screamed so loudly that the other man flinched. Marcus didn’t immediately remove his foot. He looked down at him coldly. Heapplied slightly more pressure.
“AHHH! Please p>
The first robber quickly raised both hands. “Stop! We won’t do it again p>
Marcus looked at him. “You swear p>
“I swear!” the first robber shouted desperately. “We won’t rob anyone again p>
The second robber nodded frantically. “I swear too! Just let me go p>
Marcus finally lifted his foot.
Both men immediately pulled their hands toward themselves, breathing heavily.
Marcus gave them one last look before walking toward the restaurant’s CCTV storage system. He found the recording unit and quickly checked through the footage. After locating the footage showing the robbery and his fight with the two men, he deleted it.
He didn’t want his abilities exposed. As he finished, Marcus remembered the president’s offer.
For a moment, he stood silently.
The president was right.

There had to be someone capable of keeping people like these under control. If two gifted individuals were willing to use their powers to rob a restaurant, who knew how many others were using their abilities for something far worse p>
Marcus walked back toward the windows.
He raised his hand. The blinds unfolded and rolled upward, allowing the daylight from outside to flood the restaurant again.
Almost immediately, police sirens sounded outside. The doors burst open.
“Everyone, stay where you are p>
Several armed officers rushed inside.
The team leader stopped abruptly.
His eyes widened as he took in the destruction. Tables were overturned, chairs were scattered eyerywhere, glass covered the floor, and two armed men were lying helplessly near the wall.
Then his gaze landed on Marcus.
The officer’s expression hardened.
He immediately raised his gun.
“You! Put your hands where I can see them p>
Marcus slowly turned toward him.
Before he could say anything, several customers who had was inside where the robbers came in, hurriedly spoke
“He’s not one of them p>
“He stopped them p>
“He stood up against them p>
The officers froze.
The team leader stared at Marcus in disbelief.
His eyes moved from Marcus to the two battered robbers lying on the floor.
“Wait…” He looked around again. “You did this p>
Marcus simply stood there.
The officer couldn’t hide his shock.
One man had defeated two armed, gifted criminals by himself.
The police officers remained frozen for several seconds.
The team leader slowly lowered his gun, but the disbelief on his face remained. He looked at the two robbers, then at Marcus, then back at the wrecked restaurant.
“You’re telling me one person did all this?” he asked.

One of the customers nodded quickly. “Yes. He fought both of them p>
didn’t even use a weapon,” another person added. “Those two had guns, but he still defeated them p>
The officers exchanged stunned glances. Even they found it difficult to believe. Two armed men had turned an entire restaurant upside down, yet somehow one young man had brought both of them down.
Before Marcus could say anything, someone suddenly rushed toward him.
“Marcus p>
Julia threw her arms around him.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt p>
Marcus stiffened slightly from the sudden hug.
Julia quickly pulled back and began examining him from head to toe. She checked his arms, shoulders, chest, and even looked closely at his face.
“Are you bleeding anywhere p>
“No p>
“Are you sure?” Marcus nodded.
Julia looked again, as if expecting to find a hidden wound. When she found nothing, she finally breathed out in relief. “Good. Good p>
Then she turned around.
Her eyes widened.
Julia stared at the scene for several seconds.
“Wow p>
She slowly turned back toward Marcus. “You beat them all p>
Marcus shrugged.
Julia narrowed her eyes playfully. “Are you Captain America or something p>
Marcus scoffed. “Captain America p>
“Yes. Because normal people don’t do this p>
A few customers nearby laughed nervously.
Marcus shook his head. “I think we will have to postpone our date p>
Julia’s smile faded slightly. “Right p>
She nodded, but there was a trace of frustration hidden behind her expression. She had been looking forward to this, and now another unexpected situation had ruined everything.
Meanwhile, across the city, Jessica and Jackson arrived at Langstone.

Jackson stepped out of the car with confidence.
This was exactly what he had wanted.
He needed Jessica to believe that he was truly the CEO.
As they approached the entrance, the security guards immediately recognized him.
“Good morning, sir p>
They bowed respectfully.
Jackson nodded casually as though he was completely accustomed to it.
Inside the building, the receptionist immediately stood.
“Good morning, Mr. Jackson p>
Several junior employees passing through also greeted him respectfully.
“Good morning, sir p>
Jessica watched everything carefully.
Her suspicion began to disappear.
If Jackson was lying, how could all these people recognize him and treat him like an important executive?
Jackson noticed her expression. A smug smile appeared on his face. He leaned slightly toward her and whispered, “I told you p>
Jessica looked at him, now visibly impressed.
“So you really are the CEO of langstone p>
Jackson shrugged, feeling happy and superior.
“Jessica p>
A voice suddenly came from behind them. Jessica froze.
Her expression changed instantly.
She slowly turned around.
