Marcus’ eyes flicked to Llona’s stance, he was calculating the angle of his arm, the distance between the gun and Rosa’s skull, it was too close. He could target Llona very well, but if Rosa made any wrong move underway she would get hit and die. He didn’t want to take the risk.
Instead, Marcus spoke as he lowered the gun a fraction.
“Okay,” he said. “You and your dog can walk away from here, and just leave Rosa p>
Kingsley scoffed. “What’s your trick p>
“Shut up,” Marcus said. “There’s no trick. You can keep her as a shield until you reach the door/But before you step out, you let her go p>
Llona glanced at Kingsley.
Kingsley hesitated, then nodded.
Llona pressed the gun harder under Rosa’s chin. “Fine. Don’t try anything stupid. One funny move and I lodge a bullet in her head p>
Marcus didn’t move. “Same goes for you. Touch her, and I wll break every bone in your body before I kill you p>
Llona hauled Rosa upright and dragged her toward the door.
“Sir,” he said. “You can leave p>
Kingsley began backing away, slow and careful, still holding his broken finger. His eyes never left Marcus.
“This isn’t over,” Kingsley said. “I swear I will come back for you p>
He stepped through the doorway and disappeared.
Llona shoved Rosa forward, hard enough that she stumbled into Marcus’ chest. Then he turned and sprinted out after Kingsley.
The door slammed shut.
Marcus wrapped his arms around Rosa.
She broke down completely, sobbing into his chest. “I’m sorry,” she cried. “I’m sorry for dragging you into all this p>
“I know,” Marcus said softly, rubbing her back. “It’s okay. It’s over now p>
“I was so scared, I thought you would die because of me” she sniffled.
“It’s okay,” he said again. “Everything is fine now p>
Just then, the door creaked open.
Rosa jerked upright, panic flashing across her face. She clutched Marcus, thinking Kingsley had come back.
But it wasn’t him.
“Natalie?” Rosa said, stunned.
Marcus wasn’t surprised. He already knew when the network got jammed, that it was Natalie. She stood there

staring at them.
You came”, Mafcus stated.
Natalie, when they left, Her mind couldn’t rest, and she believed they would need help, so she called Ryan to look after them, and she made her way here. She tailed them for situations like this, right from when they got kidnapped. She saved them.
“Yeah… let’s get out quickly, I will explain later p>
with that, they made their way out.
As they moved through the corridor, Marcus finally took a proper look around. The place looked unfinished from the outside, but inside it was packed with machines, power lines, and high-end equipment. Clean. Organized and Dangerous.
Kingsley had built this place for illegal work. No doubt about it. As they walked, Marcus spoke again.
They reached the end of the passage.
Just as they were about to step outside, all three of them stopped.
A shadow stood ahead, blocking the exit.
Marcus moved instantly, stepping in front of them. He raised the gun.
“Who the fuck is that,” he said.
The shadow stepped forward into the light.
It was a man. Tall with broad shoulders. A long dark jacket hanging from his frame. His face was calm. Too calm and dangerous
Marcus’ grip tightened on the gun.
“Who are you,” Marcus asked again, “Come out if you dare p>
The man stepped fully into the light.
He looked sharp, tall and broad with a long dark coat that looked heavy enough to hide weapons. His hair was neatly cut and his eyes were flat and calm like he had already measured the room and found nothing threatening.
He doesn’t look like those regular street thugs. He seemed more than that.
Natalie raised her own gun beside Marcus. “Say your name,” she said. “Before your head gets blown off p>
The man smiled with just a thin curve of amusement in his lips.
“I’m Kingsley’s contact assassin,” He said evenly. “He paid me to kill you p>
Marcus frowned slightly. He didn’t even wait as he pointed the gun and shoot straight to the man p>
Boom. Boom.
The shots were clean with perfect aim. But the man moved like it was nothing.
He weaved the bullet.
His body twisted between the bullets like he knew where they would be before Marcus pulled the trigger. The

rounds tore past him and shattered the wall behind.
Marcus’ eyes narrowed. He was surprised by how fast he was.
Boom. Boom.
He shit again.
The assassin slid sideways dodging the bullet left and right, and surged forward at the same time. The distance vanished in a blink.
Marcus knew then that this person was not ordinary. He was dangerous and someone like him.
He stepped back and shoved Natalie and Sapphire behind him with one arm. Then face back the assassin head on.
The assassin closed in like a shadow, his fists blurring as he threw the first punch-a sharp jab aimed at Marcus’s jaw.
Marcus ducked, weaving to the side just in time, his own fist swinging up in a counter hook.
The man twisted his body, dodging the punch with ease, and they circled each other, punches flying but missing by inches.
Marcus threw a straight right, the assassin weaved left; the assassin jabbed low, Marcus swayed back. It was like a deadly dance, both men reading each other’s moves.
But the assassin was faster. He pressed forward, breaking the rhythm. His left hook connected with Marcus ‘s ribs.
Crack p>
Followed by a right cross to the shoulder.
Marcus grunted, staggering, but swung back. The man was already moving, landing punch after punch: left to the gut, right to the chest, left uppercut grazing Marcus ‘s chin.
Marcus blocked some, but the speed was overwhelming. He was struggling, breath coming in gasps, pain shooting through his body.
