Chapter 289
Marcus tried to use his power again, but all to no avail. Kingsley was more than he thought. He had
underestimated him. The machines in this room were sophisticated and refined. Something here was suppressing his power completely.
“Die p>
Kingsley pressed the red button.
He grinned, waiting, eager for skulls to burst and their bodies to drop.
Rosa’s face tightened as she waited for death. While Marcus already also accepts his fate.
Five seconds passed. Ten. Twenty.
Nothing happened.
Kingsley’s grin collapsed. His eyes widened as he stared at the remote, then at them.
“That’s impossible,” he muttered. “It should have worked instantly p>
Kingsley froze, shock flashing across his face. He smashed the button again, this time frantically, his thumb jabbing it over and over.
Yet, nothing happened p>
“What the fuck is happening?” he snapped, turning on Llona.
Llona looked just as stunned. He snatched the remote from his hand, slammed it against his palm, and pressed it
himself
Nothing happened.
Rosa opened her eyes slowly, disbelief washing over her. She was still breathing. Still alive. Every time Llona pressed the remote again, Rosa flinched, waiting for her head to explode.
But nothing happened.
“What the fuck happened?” Kingsley roared. “This thing works. What did you do p>
The room was packed with gadgets and electronics. Llona rushed to a nearby console, his fingers flying as he checked multiple systems. He moved to another machine, then another, his face draining of color. He ran to the main computer and started typing fast.
Then he froze.
“Boss,” he said.
Kingsley spun toward him. “What p>
“We are being hijacked,” Llona said, panic creeping into his voice. “Someone is jamming us. They are killing every network and connection in the room. That’s why nothing is working p>
“What?” Kingsley barked. “Who the fuck is it p>
“I’m trying to trace it,” Llona said, typing harder, sweat on his forehead. Then he shouted, “Sir. This person is a pro. Better than me. They are destroying everything here p>

Screens went dark one by one. Machines sparked and died. The hum of power in the room faded into silence.
Kingsley turned slowly toward Marcus.
Marcus lifted his head and smirked. He knew exactly what was happening now. “I told you,” he said hoarsely. Your days are numbered p>
Kingsley’s face twisted with rage. “What the fuck did you do to my operating room p>
“Sir,” Llona said quickly. “Every hard drive is frying. Whoever this is, they are wiping everything p>
Kingsley snarled, pulled out his gun, and raised it at Marcus. “Fine,” he said. “I will just kill you the old way, you motherfucker p>
Click.
The sound echoed in the room.
The electric handcuffs on Marcus and Rosa snapped open and fell to the floor.
Marcus moved the instant the cuffs fell. He finally got to activate his superpower as the bracelet shone brightly.
Marcus surged forward.
Kingsley barely had time to blink before Marcus was on him. His hand clamped over the gun, twisted hard, faster than thought. To collect the gun from him. Marcus broke one of his fingers.
“Yaaaaa p>
Kingsley screamed. A raw animal sound. As the finger bent the wrong way and the gun flew from his grip.
Marcus caught it and stepped back in the same motion, arm straight, as he leveled it at Kingsley’s forehead.
“Don’t move,” Marcus said, his voice low and steady.
Llona reacted instantly.
He drew his own gun and lunged to Rosa, yanking her back against his chest. He pressed the gun under her chin.
“Drop the gun. Now,” Llona shouted. “Or I kill her p>
Rosa gasped but didn’t scream. She froze.
Kingsley stood there clutching his broken hand, shock written all over his face. Then slowly, a smile crept back.
“You heard him,” Kingsley said, forcing calm. “You better drop the gun p>
Marcus didn’t blink.
“Why should I,” he said. “If he shoots her, I shoot you. Simple p>
Kingsley swallowed. He studied Marcus again, really looked at him this time.
“I see now,” Kingsley said. “You are special. Fast and strong” His smile widened. “Let’s not waste talent. I can pardon you. I will make you my bodyguard. Two million dollars a month. That’s money you will never see in your life p>
Marcus laughed short and cold.

“Shut up,” he said. “Fuck you and your money. Let her go. Right now. Or else, i will blow your head off”
Dona tightened his grip on Rosa.
“Hey,” he said. “Easy. You drop your gun and I drop mine. Fair trade p>
The room went dead silent.
