Jessica gulped and looked at Travis. “What do you want to use the money for p>
Travis’s expression immediately darkened. “Do I have to tell you? I said I need it urgently, so give it to me!
Jessica sighed. “Travis, are you gambling again p>
“Uhn?” Travis raised an eyebrow before letting out an irritated sigh. “Look, what I’m using the money for one of your business. Moreover, you know you can’t refuse me p>
Jessica’s heart sank as she understood what he meant. He was indirectly threatening her again, just as he had done countless times before.
She had endured his behavior for weeks, but this time, she couldn’t take it anymore. “Travis, when your sister died, I took you in as my own brother. I’ve done everything for you, and I even tried to open a business for you, but you refused p>
She paused, her eyes filled with disappointment. “Even after that, I’ve given you money countless times without asking for anything in return. And this is how you repay me p>
“Uhn?” Travis scoffed. “Come on, Jessica. I know you took me in because you feel guilty about what you did to my sister. I know all your secrets p>
He stepped closer, a strange smile spreading across his face. “Moreover, I don’t want to be your brother. I want to be your lover p>
Jessica stared at him, unable to believe what she was hearing.
“Even after I sabotaged your relationship with that lowlife Marcus countless times, you still refused to leave him, “Travis continued. “I did everything I could to stop you from registering your marriage with him. I even called him and lied that you and I were together in a hotel room, but you still refused to leave him p>
His expression twisted with resentment as he continued. “And even after you finally broke up with him, you went ahead and got into a relationship with another man without even looking at me p>
Hearing those words, Jessica’s heart sank. She blinked several times, struggling to process what he had just confessed.
“You… You sabotaged our marriage p>
Travis scoffed. “Fuck yeah! I did p>
He looked at her dismissively before adding, “But you’re just a gold digger, after all p>
Jessica stood frozen, her mind racing as she recalled everything that had happened over the years. Suddenly, the pieces began to fall into place, and she realized just how foolish she had been.
Nine times.
She remembered how she and Marcus had tried to get married, only for something to happen to Travis every single time. Whenever they planned the wedding, Travis would suddenly encounter one problem or another, forcing her to stay behind and help him.
She had always believed those incidents were unfortunate coincidences, never once imagining that Travis had deliberately orchestrated them to keep her away from Marcus.
Because of him, she had lost her marriage.

“Travis, you’re horrible!” Jessica exclaimed, her voice trembling with anger.
Come on!” Travis replied impatiently. “Look, I’m asking for just four million dollars. Send it to me p>

He shrugged as though the entire conversation meant nothing to him. “After all, your new man is giving you more than that p>
Travis scoffed and turned around, walking toward the door without giving Jessica another glance. leaving essica standing there with a heavy heart.
The moment the door closed, Jessica’s strength seemed to drain away. Tears welled up in her eyes as she recalled everything Travis had just confessed. She had sacrificed so much for him, yet he had repaid her by deliberately destroying her relationship with Marcus.
She covered her mouth, struggling to hold back her sobs, but she couldn’t do it anymore. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she began to cry uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a wave of nausea hit her.
Jessica clutched her stomach, feeling as though she was about to vomit. Without wasting another second, she rushed into the bathroom and hurried toward the toilet.
Meanwhile, in the basement of Marcus’s building, Marcus was undergoing an intense training session.
He darted between several obstacles at incredible speed, his feet barely touching the ground as he changed directions. Every time a mechanical training device swung toward him, he reacted almost instinctively, ducking beneath it or twisting his body to avoid the incoming strike.
A heavy punching bag swung toward him, but Marcus stepped aside at the last possible second before driving his fist into it. The impact sent the bag swinging violently backward.
“Damn!” he muttered, staring at his fist.
His speed and reflexes had improved dramatically. Even more astonishingly, his X-ray vision allowed him to see through the training equipment, predict the movements of the mechanisms inside, and identify the precise moments when they would activate.
He could even see through the walls surrounding the basement.
Marcus narrowed his eyes and concentrated, activating his new ability.
He deactivated the ability and exhaled deeply.
Although he had discovered these incredible abilities, he still needed to understand their limits. He couldn’t afford to enter a fight against Kingsley’s man without knowing exactly what he could do.
Just then, the basement door burst open.
“Marcus!” Natalie called out as she hurried inside. “Ryan has some intel on Mr. Kingsley p>
Marcus immediately turned toward her. “Really p>
“Yes p>
“I’m coming p>
Without wasting another second, Marcus grabbed a towel, wiped the sweat from his face, and rushed up the stairs. Thanks to his newly enhanced speed, he reached the sitting room in a matter of seconds.

A laptop sat open on the table, and Rosa and the other girls were gathered around it.
The moment Rosa saw Marcus, she felt a familiar sensation stir inside her. Her cheeks warmed as an unexpected wave of excitement spread through her body.
She quickly lowered her eyes and forced herself to concentrate on the laptop, trying to suppress the strange feelings that seemed to arise whenever she was near him.
Marcus barely noticed her reaction. His attention was focused entirely on Natalie.
“What did Ryan find out?” he asked.
Natalie turned toward him, her expression serious.
“Ryan has figured out who Kingsley has been selling arms to. He’s also discovered when and where their meetings usually take place. They will be having a meeting soon”
Marcus’s eyes narrowed with interest. “And when is the next meeting p>
“Tonight,” Natalie replied. “According to Ryan, Kingsley and his buyers are meeting tonight. This is our chance to catch him off guard and deal with him before he realizes we’re coming p>
Marcus nodded without hesitation.
“Then let’s get prepared p>
