Marcus exhaled slowly, deciding to lay everything out; he couldn't keep it away from Robert if Marilyn was plotting something; she knows about her first, so he can look at it for him.“It's a long story. I met Marilyn at a business meeting the other day. She was charming and confident, and I ended up signing her contract. Everything seemed fine at first. But then, I saw her again at Crown High School when I was dropping my daughter off at school. She approached me, and it struck me as odd, but I didn't think much of it at first; I thought she was just grateful about the contract.”Robert listened intently, the concern in his silence palpable. It seems the young master is in a difficult situation for him to be telling him all of this. Someone has offended him, and he was curious to find that person.“Then”Marcus continued“I ran into her once more at MK. This time, things took a darker turn. She tried to drug me, Robert. I only managed to escape without eating the food. I was lucky. I
Marcus knew exactly what he needed to do. He had a clear plan in mind, one that required Zachary to step up and protect his hazel. He couldn't afford to have Hazel show any signs of weakness, and her hands had to be strong and capable.Because something tells him Marilyn is coming to hazel which he's not comfortable with, He can't take Marilyn with soft hands he needs to be on high alert and be one step ahead but for now, he needs to go meet Tyler for training, a crucial part of his preparation he can't waste any time.Meanwhile, Marilyn was in the master’s office, her head bowed low. She had rushed there as soon as she received the call from the master himself; she knew it's something that happen earlier. She was even shocked to see the master call; it's a rare occurrence that took her by surprise. The master gazed at Marilyn, his voice deadly, giving no hint of mercy.But she knew why she had been summoned. The master must have learned about what transpired today in MK, and she kn
Marcus had already trained with Tyler; he was already exhausted, but he couldn't help but thank him. Today's training was extraordinary; the changes in his body were undeniable; his strength and sanitizing danger were improving. Each session left him feeling stronger every day, more attuned to his newfound abilities. He prays to master them quickly so he can start teaching Ivy. One or two of her abilities are special and can't be misused; he will train her to his best abilities soon. Despite his excitement, he knew he needed to leave. He didn’t want Hazel to start suspecting anything he was going to keep a close eye on Hazel, who knows, Ivy might have been telling Hazel everything that happened today, but he smiled. Ivy do keep secrets, and she could see how serious it was in his eyes. He needs to start going home now.Marcus bowed to Tyler, and he spoke with a grateful tone.“I will be taking my leave now,” Marcus said.Tyler smiled; he still couldn't believe the young master wa
Robert's eyes turned deadly at that moment. If the master had given him the go-ahead to deal with Marilyn, he would have done it by now, and that might force the person behind her to come out, but the master doesn't want it that way, and he's okay with it. Soon, he's going to confirm their identity, plans are already in motion, but he couldn’t ask the young master why he didn't want to attend the groundbreaking ceremony, so he just nodded.“Okay, young master, I will pass the message to Autumn; she would be in the right position to take charge of everything.”Marcus nodded“Good, tell her I will be counting on her.”Robert nodded.“Okay, young master.”Marcus ended the call. He needed to get home before Hazel start looking for him soon. Marcus arrived home and was greeted by Ivy.“Welcome Daddy”Marcus smiled as he carried her up.“My little princess, how are you? I hope you didn't miss Daddy too much.”Ivy nodded her head.“ Yes I missed you, but I'm happy you're back home”Marcus
Marcus managed to smile, a gesture more for Hazel's benefit than his own; he knew he couldn't change her mind, but the only thing he could do was watch her closely.“Please, be careful.” He said it softly, his voice tinged with concern and fear.Hazel nodded in understanding. “I will. I'm not a child. I will take care of myself.”Marcus knew it would be difficult, but he had to do it. He had to take action to ensure everything go smoothly. He can't just fold his hands and blindly follow Hazel, even though she isn't a child, but it's his responsibility to protect her this time; he can't fail her the second time. Marcus went to take his bath. After taking his bath, he quietly walked out of the house, the cold air outside clearing his mind as he decided to call Tyler. The phone rang a few times before Tyler answered.Tyler was surprised to see the master calling him.“Hello, young master?”Tyler's voice was relaxed, but there was an edge of curiosity for the young master to be calli
It was the next day Marcus left the house early to meet Tyler. When he arrived at the location, he was surprised to see Zachary there. At the same time, he was happy; with Zachary being here, he felt more confident that everything would go smoothly and both of them could go to the ceremony together; nobody would dare come close to Hazel, and she would be fully protected.Tyler smiled as Marcus approached. “I know you must be wondering why Zachary is here.”Marcus nodded. “Yes, I do.”“He's here to assist us with something.”Tyler explained. “Given the urgency of your request, I thought it would be best to have an extra pair of hands.”Marcus felt a surge of gratitude for all they were doing for him. “Thank you, Mr Tyler. And thank you, Zachary. I truly appreciate it.”Zachary nodded.“We're here to help, Young Master. Let's get this done so you can experience the feeling of being the strongest.”Marcus just nodded he couldn't wait for that among.The three of them set to work, ea
Tyler and Zachary quickly ran to Marcus and tried to understand what was going on. Everything happened so quickly that they couldn't even react until the young master collapsed on the floor, the young master had fainted.Tyler immediately dropped to his knees beside Marcus, his heart pounding with worry. He never expected this to happen. “Young Master, are you alright? Please say something, Young Master.”Taylor's hands started shaking as he held Marcus on the floor.Zachary too was on his knees as he didn't know what was happening. The young master suddenly just collapsed after he told them thanks. Although he looked so exhausted, he never thought it would turn out this way.Tyler faces Zachary.“Zachary, I knew it would exhaust him, but not like this.”Zachary, catching his breath, stared at Marcus's unconscious form. He was shocked. “I know, Mr. Tyler, I'm just as shocked as you. But after everything we saw and the sheer amount of energy he released, I guess it didn't surprise me
Tyler stood at the edge of Marcus's bed, his eyes fixed on the young master, as he didn't understand what was going on anymore. It had been two days since the young master had collapsed, and he had been unconscious ever since without moving a finger. Tyler's mind raced with worry and confusion; he would never forgive himself if something bad happened to the young master because of him.He started blaming himself if he had known he wouldn't have fasting the training; he thought the young master was strong enough in the manner in which he was learning, and from what he saw, he wasn't expecting the young master to collapse and remain asleep for so long. The room was filled with the soft beeping of medical monitors, the only sounds breaking the heavy silence that had settled in Tyler's mind.At that moment, the quietness was suddenly disrupted by the sound of the door opening. Zachary entered the room, his face a storm of anger and frustration.Without being told, one would see he was
