He swung the blade toward Marcus’s neck.
At that exact moment, Marcus rolled sideways.
The sword struck the ground with a sharp clang
Razor’s eyes widened.
Before he could pull the blade free, Marcus sprang to his feet and drove his fist into Razor’s injured ribs.
CRACK!
Razor’s face twisted in pain.
Marcus followed with a brutal punch to the left side of his jaw. Razor staggered, and Marcus struck again, this time targeting the strained muscles around his left shoulder.
Razor’s arm dropped.
“What p>
Marcus gave him no time to recover.
He drove a punch into the muscles beneath Razor’s right knee, disrupting his balance. As Razor stumbled, Marcus slammed his fist into the side of his stomach, targeting the damaged area he had identified with his X-ray vision.
Razor fell to one knee.
The crowd went silent.
Marcus stood over him, breathing heavily but smiling.
Razor’s face turned red with rage. “You little bastard p>
He abandoned his sword for a moment and tried to strike Marcus with his right fist. Marcus leaned away, grabbed his wrist, and drove a hard punch into the weak point beneath his ribs.
Razor gasped.
Marcus struck the same area again.
Then he landed another punch against Razor’s jaw, followed by a blow to his injured shoulder. Each attack was aimed at a specific weakness, leaving Razor less able to defend himself.
Razor tried to rise, but his right knee buckled beneath him.
He crashed onto the ground.
Marcus stepped forward and kicked the sword away from his reach.
For the first time, genuine fear appeared in Razor’s eyes.
He had spent years defeating opponents who could barely follow his movements. He had crushed entire gangs and killed countless enemies. He had never imagined that the man he had beaten easily before could turn the table around.
Marcus grabbed him by the collar and pulled him upright.
“Remember what you told me?” Marcus asked. “You said that even if we fought a hundred times, I could never defeat you, well, this is the second time p>

Razor struggled to free himself. BUT drove a final punch into Razor’s stomach, then threw him to the ground.
Razor landed beside his sword. Desperation replaced his arrogance as he reached for the weapon and swung it wildly toward Marcus’s legs.
Marcus jumped back, avoiding the blade,
Razor scrambled to his feet and raised the sword for another attack
But Marcus was already moving.
He stepped inside the sword’s reach, caught Razor’s sword arm, and twisted it sharply. The weapon slipped from Razor’s hand and clattered onto the ground.
Razor tried to strike him with his free hand.
Marcus ducked, seized the sword, and turned.
For one brief moment, the two men stared at each other. Razor’s eyes widened as he realized he had lost.
Marcus didn’t hesitate, he swung.
The blade flashed across Razor’s neck.
His head separated from his body and struck the ground as blood sprayed across the warehouse entrance. His headless body remained standing for a brief moment before collapsing heavily beside it.
Silence swallowed the entire seaport.
The five hundred men who had been cheering moments earlier stood frozen, their weapons hanging loosely in their hands.
They could only stare at the lifeless body of the man they had believed unbeatable.
Marcus lowered the sword, his chest rising and falling as he struggled to catch his breath. His bead continued to glow, but the two remaining lights had begun to dim.
He turned toward the five hundred men, his expression growing cold.
“Now,” he said, raising the sword slightly, “who wants to be next p>
They looked at each other and started whispering.
“He just killed Master Razor p>
“Just like that p>
“He is more powerful p>
Their blood ran cold.
Marcus dropped his head forward and sucked in air like a drowning man. His chest heaved hard as he turned to face Mr. Kingsley’s men and they were still breaking, sweat running down their faces, hands shaking so badly some almost lost their grip, a few looking like they might wet themselves right there.
“I shouldn’t have to tell you,” Marcus said calmly, “before dropping your weapons p>
Metal clattered to the ground all at once, guns and blades hitting the floor without a second of hesitation because none of them wanted to be the next hole in the air,
Marcus smiled and turned to Gordon and Jason.
“Tie each and every one of them, and no one should call Mr. Kingsley, I want to surprise him myself p>

“Yes master,” they both yelled.
Marcus walked away as the men lowered their heads, every single one of them bowing.
Meanwhile, in New York City, the annual Global Elite Business Summit was underway. It was the most prestigious business event in the world, an occasion/so important that no major family could afford to miss it. The heads of powerful corporations, billionaire investors, influential politicians, and heirs to the wealthiest families had all gathered under one roof.
Among them, Mr. Kingsley was one of the most respected figures. Everyone knew how wealthy he was, but his fortune was only part of what earned him respect. His discoveries had repeatedly shaken the business world, creating opportunities worth billions of dollars. Whenever he announced a new project, countless powerful families fought for the chance to work with him.
Tonight, he was one of the most important guests.
Unfortunately, Mr. Kingsley had no idea what was happening back at his mansion
Across the enormous ballroom, Julia sat alone at a table near the windows. She wore an elegant black dress, and a glass of wine rested between her fingers. Her eyes lacked their usual brightness, and she barely paid attention to the conversations around
her.
Since losing her grandfather, she had never truly been herself again. She had just managed to be here because it was compulsory as she was currently the head of the family.
Julia raised her glass and took a small sip of wine.
“Mm. You’re alone p>
She turned her head at the sound of a familiar voice and saw Jessica approaching with a smirk on her face.
Jessica glanced at the empty chair beside Julia before looking back at her.
“Why are you sitting here drinking alone? Has Marcus finally dumped you?” she asked mockingly. “Because I always knew he would eventually do that p>
Julia stared at her without responding.
Jessica’s smile widened when she received no answer.
Jackson, who stood beside Jessica, scoffed as he looked at Julia. “I’ve always wondered about something,” he said. “How can someone as beautiful and wealthy as her marry a man who is nothing more than an employee? She could have married into any powerful family in this city, yet she chose him p>
Jessica’s smile faltered slightly.
She did not like hearing Jackson speak about Marcus that way. Whatever she thought of Julia, she still disliked the idea of someone else insulting Marcus in front of her.
But since she wanted to taunt Julia, she smiled.
“She’s just a fool,” she said. “Perhaps she thinks marrying an ordinary man makes her special p>
Jackson laughed, and Jessica joined him.
Julia lowered her eyes to her glass, refusing to give them the satisfaction of seeing her react. She had neither the strength nor the desire to argue with them tonight.
Just as Jessica was about to say something else, a young woman hurried toward their table.
“Julia! Oh, there you are p>

chapter 305-
Julia looked up and recognized one of her casual friends.
The young woman pulled out a chair and sat beside her, her expression immediately turning sympathetic.
“I’ve been looking for you. I heard about your grandfather’s death. I’m so sorry, Julia. had no idea you were going through something like this p>
The smile disappeared from Jessica’s face.
She slowly turned toward Julia, studying her expression.
Her grandfather was dead? That was the reason she was alone and sad p>
Jessica felt a sharp pang of guilt in her chest.
She had just mocked a grieving woman without knowing what she was going through.
For a moment, she wanted to say something, perhaps even apologize. But the words refused to come. Her pride would not allow her to admit that she had been wrong, especially in front of Jackson.
She cleared her throat and turned away.
“Jackson, let’s go,” she said quietly as she walked away. Jackson followed.
Meanwhile, in the Hall. Mr. Kingsley’s eyes were on Julia the whole time.
