Chapter 267
Mr. Warren’s expression slowly hardened. The fear that had briefly appeared in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a cold, almost arrogant calm. He straightened his jacket and looked directly at Marcus as though the young man was nothing more than an irritating obstacle.
“And so?” he said with a sniffle. “You think all this is going to make me fret or become scared?” His lips curled into a mocking smile. “It changes nothing p>
“Your so-called confession is useless. You forced it out of them while they were suffering.” Warren raised his chin confidently. “Do you honestly think that is admissible in court p>
“It will be dismissed as being obtained under duress,” Warren continued. “They were terrified and would have said anything to make you stop.” He glanced toward Cory, Matrix, and Darren as though reminding them of their escape.
Cory and Matrix exchanged a quick glance. Darren looked between them, and after a moment, the three men slowly nodded. Warren’s words had given them a new sense of confidence.
If they could prove that Marcus had threatened them and forced the confession from them, perhaps they could escape the consequences. Their expressions remained tense, but there was now a faint trace of hope in their eyes. Warren noticed it and became even more confident.
“You see?” Warren said. “They were terrified. Anyone can see that.” He gestured toward the three men. “They will simply tell the court they said whatever you wanted because they thought they were going to die p>
Ferran’s face immediately darkened. His fists tightened at his sides as he stepped forward, his anger becoming impossible to hide. “You fucker p>
“He has the president behind him!” Ferran snapped. “He can throw you in jail just because of this!” His eyes burned with fury as he stared at Warren. “Do you understand who you are dealing with p>
Warren barely reacted. He simply sniffled and adjusted his sleeve, his confidence returning almost immediately. “I wouldn’t let that happen,” he replied coldly.
His voice carried the confidence of a man who believed his connections were strong enough to protect him from anything. Warren had spent decades building relationships with powerful people, and he refused to believe that Marcus could simply destroy everything he had built.
Marcus stared at him silently. For a brief moment, Warren wondered if the young man had only been bluffing. Perhaps the platinum card was impressive, but maybe Marcus did not actually possess the kind of influence he claimed.
Then Warren’s phone suddenly chimed.
Bing.

His eyebrows knitted together as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the phone. He glanced at the screen casually, expecting an ordinary notification, but his expression changed almost immediately.
Your account has been temporarily restricted pending further investigation. All transactions have been suspended. /
Warren stared at the message.
“What… what’s this p>
His voice had suddenly lost its confidence. Before he could process what he was seeing, another notification appeared.
Then another.
And another.
Warren’s fingers trembled as he opened them one after another. His other bank account had been frozen. His investment account had been suspended, and his credit facilities had been
revoked.
“No…” Warren whispered.
His face gradually turned pale as another notification appeared on his screen. This one concerned one of his largest companies.
Operations suspended pending regulatory review.
Warren’s eyes widened. “What the fuck p>
Another message appeared. Corporate accounts restricted.
Then another.
Business licenses under immediate review.
“What the heck is this?!” Warren shouted. His breathing became heavier as he stared at the screen. “What’s happening p>
Nobody answered him.
His phone continued vibrating in his trembling hand. Every new notification seemed to strip another layer of confidence from his face until the arrogant expression was completely gone.
Marcus watched him quietly, a faint, chilling smile appearing on his lips.
“This is really nothing compared to what you are going to suffer p>

Warren slowly raised his head. His lips trembled as he stared at Marcus, his earlier arrogance replaced by disbelief.
“You did this p>
Marcus said nothing.
“How…?” Warren swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on Marcus. “How did you p>
For the first time, the true meaning behind Marcus’s confidence began sinking into him. This was not a bluff, and the realization struck him harder than any physical blow could have.
Marcus’s expression remained cold. He was still furious at the older man’s arrogance, especially the way Warren had stood there and declared that nothing would happen to him.
Marcus slowly turned toward Ferran.
“Break his knee p>
Ferran’s eyes immediately shifted toward Warren. For a moment, he simply stared at him before a slow smile spread across his face.
He had been searching for a way to redeem himself ever since realizing how badly he had misjudged Marcus. Now, finally, he had been given the opportunity.
“Okay,” Ferran said, rolling his shoulders.
He took a step forward, his expression becoming eager.
“Okay. Let’s do that p>
Mr. Warren’s confidence vanished the moment Ferran,stepped toward him. His eyes widened as he immediately raised both hands, taking several hurried steps backward. “Wait! Wait, please p>
“You don’t have to do this,” Warren pleaded, his voice shaking badly. “I will confess everything. I’ll tell everyone exactly what happened, just return my money and leave me alone p>
Marcus remained silent, his expression cold and unmoved. He wanted Warren to understand that his earlier arrogance had consequences, and he had no intention of allowing a few desperate promises to erase it.
“Please,” Warren begged again, his breathing becoming frantic. “I’ll confess! I swear I will. Just don’t hurt me p>
Ferran did not even slow down. He looked toward his men and gave a sharp gesture with his hand. “Hold him p>

Two men immediately rushed forward and grabbed Warren by both arms. He struggled violently, twisting his body as panic consumed him.
“No! Nooo!” Warren screamed, his face contorted with terror. “Please! I’ll do anything p>
The men forced him down and held him firmly while Ferran crouched beside his leg. Warren’s
eyes
filled with tears as he shook his head repeatedly, already knowing what was coming.
“Please, please, please!” he cried. “Marcus, I’ll confess! I’ll tell them everything p>
Marcus simply stared at him. Ferran seized Warren’s leg and moved with sudden force.
Crack!
A sharp sound echoed through the ruined dining room.
Warren’s scream exploded through the room as his body jerked violently. His face twisted in agony, tears immediately streaming down his cheeks.
“Fatherrr!” Darren shouted in horror, staring at Warren’s injured leg.
Warren could barely breathe through the pain. He sobbed uncontrollably.
