Chapter 1448

Author: Cozy Season
Marion had told her to give him time, but he still hadn't given her a clear answer.

She hadn't asked, but it didn't mean she didn't want to know.

Drake and Marion had worked together. She believed Drake must know more than Robert.

"How would I know?" Drake threw away his cigarette. "If you want to know, ask him directly."

Debra fell silent. Drake looked at her through the rearview mirror.

"Is he treating you poorly? Want to leave him?"

"Nonsense. I'd never leave him."

Drake leaned back against the window. "Well, if that's the case, why do you care about some secret? You're important to Marion, and that's all that matters, right? I'll tell you this. He's never been this good to any other woman."

Debra leaned back in her seat. "It's not that I care about the secret. I'm just afraid we might one day end up fighting because of it."

"You're overthinking it. If Marion wanted to, he could keep that secret his whole life. Since he decides to tell you, he will. Just give him time."

    Debra frowned. "That's reckless. Street racing is illegal. What if someone gets hurt?"Marion chuckled, "Relax, no one's getting hurt."Debra wanted to argue, but when she looked back, she noticed something surprising.Despite the racing, everyone was oddly polite. They yielded to other cars and signaled properly. But when it came to racing each other, they went all out.While everyone else stayed within the speed limit while showing off their driving skills, Drake played by his own rules.By the time they reached Marion and Debra's new house, the usual 20-minute drive had been cut down to 13 minutes.Debra glanced outside, and those cars were parked perfectly in place."I'm first." Drake stepped out of his car, grinning.Erica got out of hers. "You cheated."Drake shrugged. "No one said cheating wasn't allowed."Randy quickly stepped in. "Forget about this guy. You're the real winner."Theda and Robert got out of their car, followed by Jordan. Chace's group arrived last.O

    Erica asked, "What dream?""I mean... Fermin passed out, too. But he woke up faster than all of us," Debra replied.She had been planning to ask why she didn't see Fermin in the dream, but the whole thing had to do with rebirth. With everyone around, she didn't want to bring up the topic.The power of the four gems was unbelievable, and rebirth sounded absurd. Besides, after everything happened, her gems were gone. The one in Jeffrey's possession had disappeared, too.Maybe they vanished after running out of energy, or Fermin had taken them away.According to Jordan, he had stepped away for a while to bring reinforcements. Fermin could've left during that time.Randy changed the subject. "Let's not talk about this on such a happy day. Anyway, our biggest threat, Jeffrey, is dead. Juan has made it clear that he won't target us anymore. From now on, we all live in peace and head toward a bright future."Erica snorted, "That last part doesn't sound like something you'd say, does it

    "So, the threat still exists.""Exactly.""Who is their leader?""I don't know. But I think the person is right around you."Debra looked back at the cheerful group. She didn't want to doubt any of them.Her eyes fell on them one by one. She trusted every single person there. If one of them was the traitor, she didn't know what to do.She ended the call and went back. Randy and Erica urged her to sit down.The conversation carried on, but Debra couldn't focus.Michael sensed her unusual behavior and pulled her outside while the others were drinking their rounds.Enjoying the cool night air, he asked, "Was it Juan who called you?""How do you know?" Debra glanced at him.He was looking into the distance. She immediately understood. "You're like another version of me in this world. We've worked together for so long. I'd be surprised if you didn't know."Everyone there was her friend, but only Michael had understood her from the very beginning.Other than Marion, he was the f

    The photo showed a piece of clothing Jeffrey had worn before. It was a white mask paired with a black cloak.The mask looked horrible, with sunken eye sockets that gave off an unsettling vibe."During your time abroad, have you ever seen anyone dressed like this? Usually, they'd show up at special banquets or balls. Overseas, there are plenty of those, especially with wealthy crowds. You've probably attended quite a few. Have you seen this before?"Michael took the phone and glanced at the photo. "There are a lot of masquerade balls, and plenty of people dress like this. The mask looks like something from an opera. Give me some time. I'll look into it.""Take your time. The treasure in Seamar City is gone now, so whoever's behind this probably won't show their hand too quickly. Just keep an eye out. If you find anything, don't approach them directly. It'll get messy if you're caught."Debra still remembered the terrifying atmosphere when Cathryn trapped her and Liza at that banque

    When Debra and Michael returned to the room, everyone was chatting happily around the table.Marion was the quiet type, not really engaging in the conversation. He would only speak up occasionally.When Debra came back, he relaxed and smiled.Debra didn't smile back this time. She just walked over and sat down beside him.Marion had peeled shrimp for her because she never liked to eat anything with shells.She casually picked up one and popped it in her mouth. Soon, the next one was ready."What's wrong?" he asked, looking up. "Don't you like the food today?""Juan called me," Debra said quietly."I know.""Aren't you going to ask what he said?""Other than congratulating you on being discharged, I can't think of anything else."His tone was thick with jealousy. In the past, Debra would've laughed and reassured him that she only loved him. But now, a million questions flooded her mind.When Marion first started pursuing her, he didn't message her that often. He would ghost

    Randy spoke up. "You're leaving so soon? Let's continue to have fun. You can just crash here. Debra and Marion won't mind.""We have a place to stay. Besides, this is their new house, so another day maybe," Theda replied.Michael also stood up. "I'm going back, too. Got an appointment tomorrow to make.""Us too." Oscar and Chace stood up.Jordan said, "There are still some family matters for me to do, so I won't stay tonight. Let's catch up another time."Drake stood up as well, saying to Kale, "Let's go."Randy and Erica looked around, a bit stunned.Erica stood up and said, "Oh, right, don't we have a date tomorrow? Come on, let's go.""A date?" Randy hadn't finished speaking when Erica pulled him up and dragged him toward the door.He pointed to his jacket in the chair, "Wait, my jacket.""Forget about it. I'll get you a new one," she said.Debra and Marion were left alone in the room."I'll clean up. You've had a long day. Go take a rest," he said."Marion." Debra grab

    "As I said, if I ever lie to you, my life is yours to take," Marion said sincerely.His firm tone convinced Debra, making her wonder if Michael was mistaken."Why so serious? I was just joking," she said, pecking him on the cheek. "We've had a long day. Let's get some rest.""Okay," Marion agreed.In bed, he held her tightly.Unable to sleep, she whispered, "It feels like we've never fought before."Marion wasn't asleep either. He chuckled, "If that's your wish, we can pick a small thing to fight about.""I don't want to fight," Debra said, turning over to face him. "If you're lying to me, keep on. Just don't let me find out that you don't love me.""I love you," Marion said solemnly.But his love was different from that of others. Debra was the person he loved most in this world, the one he wanted to devote his entire life to. There would never be another person as important to him as her.Late into the night, Debra was fast asleep.Marion pulled the blanket over her and qu

    "Just stay out of this," Marion said.Drake suddenly thought back to their childhood. In the slums, Marion was always the quiet one.There were many kids. Some swindled, some stole, and others fished for sympathy.Drake was the weakest of them all. Begging for food or money was his only option. The other kids bullied him and drove him to the worst place.Marion had been there with him. He had thought Marion was just another weakling. So, he kindly shared his bread with Marion, who didn't speak or eat it.The next day, a kind-hearted person gave him a gold coin, but when the other kids saw it, they beat him up and took it.At night, he hid in a haystack and cried alone.When Marion came back, he quickly wiped his tears. Marion tossed a gold coin in front of him and sat down in the corner.Different from other kids, Marion was always steady and composed.He still remembered Marion's first words to him. It was the third day they had been together.By then, he'd been ostracized a

    Night settled in deep.Debra and the crew were still waiting for Michael's reply."Still nothing? They don't buy it, do they?" Erica paced, antsy."Give it time. They'll bite," Debra said, clutching her phone.She had promised Kale she would bring Drake back. No breaking that.A text finally pinged her phone. It was Michael.Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Like Debra said, the Illuminati couldn't rule out her having the real stone.If theirs was fake, Michael and his crew couldn't afford the fallout."Marion, it's on you now," Debra said.The Houston family had military muscle on tap. The Potter family owned elite guards and intel. Erica and Randy were solid backups.But this meeting? Debra had to go herself."Does it have to be now? Maybe wait till you're healed?" Erica said.Debra shook her head. "Drake is at risk every day he's with them. I can't take that chance. Just like they can't risk us holding the stone.""She's right," Randy jumped in. "Drag this out, and who

    "What're you looking at?" Lara asked, stepping out and spotting Michael by the window."Debra says the stone Drake gave us is fake," he replied."What? No way." Drake shot up from his seat."Are you messing with us?" Lara's sharp gaze landed on him."No. Debra's talking nonsense," Drake insisted."We'll see," Michael said, unruffled.Debra was offering the stone on the condition of meeting with their leader. It fit her style."She thinks she can just waltz in and see our master?" Lara sneered."The stone's a big deal to him. I bet he'll agree," Michael replied, shutting his phone."Don't tell me you're sweet on Debra," she hissed. "You keep letting her off. Don't wanna kill her, huh?""Unlike you, I don't get off on killing," he countered. "If she's not in my way, why bother? You're out there slaughtering, just making enemies for the Illuminati. You're venting rather than serving.""You don't get it. I'm building fear for the Illuminati," she justified herself. "They need to

    Oscar set down the receiver and threw his hands up. "I'm not resisting. Don't spook my staff," he said.Chace tried to step in, but Oscar's look stopped him.This incident was major. Almost half of Flesta's people had fallen victim.Everyone at the company, Chace included, got hauled in for questioning. As the head, Oscar was the main target.The line went dead, and Debra's heart sank."Those bastards," Randy cursed, "hitting us on both sides. No wonder the Illuminati has been quiet. They have been gunning for our partners.""They're smart," Debra said. "Can't take us head-on, so they go after our allies. They want everyone to see partnering with us as a dead end. If we let this slide, we're doomed eventually.""What should we do?" Erica stomped, fuming. "We just sit here and watch them pick off our friends one by one?""They're showing us what happens if we cross them. They want us to bow. The only way out is to flip the script and strike first.""Strike first? What does th

    Seeing Debra's worried look, Marion said, "You should just focus on healing and leave the rest to us. We might not match the Illuminati, but they won't mess with us randomly here in Seamar City."The Four Great Families had ruled Seamar City for a century. Although the former heads had faded, the new generation was sharper and stronger. They could hold off the Illuminati's push.Debra's phone rang. It was Oscar calling."You free? I've got something to tell you," he said.Debra put it on the speaker. No one could guess the aim of his call.In Flesta, the Odom family's business was booming again. He should have been busy with work."What's up?" she asked."There's big trouble in Flesta," he replied. "We didn't want to bug you, but it's spiraling out of control. We're out of moves.""What happened?" She had a bad feeling.Oscar paused. "A new drug has popped up in Flesta. Tons of our staff got hooked, just like regular folks. The police are on it now. We checked our products and

    Debra stared at the pendant.What had happened yesterday came flooding back.Kale was gone, and the fact hit her hard."It's my fault," she said in agony. "If he hadn't gone with me, he would have been alive.""Everyone makes their calls," Marion soothed her. "If there's blame, it's on the Illuminati. I was terrified, almost losing you.""I felt like you were nearby, so I wasn't afraid," she said, leaning into him. "They'll pay for hurting Drake and killing Kale. I'll make sure of it.""No matter what happens, we're in this together," he said.Exhaustion took over. She closed her eyes and drifted off.When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. Her injury kept her from moving much.Everyone gathered outside her bedroom. William came in to check on her."You're fine. Just change the dressings on time," he said, packing up his kit. "You guys can come in now."Debra adjusted her clothes and leaned against the headboard. "Sorry to trouble you.""We're in this together,"

    William left quickly.Marion got up to lock the door and returned to the bedside.Sitting back into the chair, he switched on a dim lamp, making sure Debra would see him first thing if she woke up."Brother..." Debra mumbled.Marion leaned in. "I'm here."Her murmurs stopped, but her hands shot up, grasping at the air. "It's so dark. Save me."He grabbed her flailing hands right away. "Don't be scared. I'm right here."But she didn't calm down. She clutched his hand, her nails scratching at his skin. "Brother, save me," she murmured, feeling like she was trapped in a pitch-black hold.Cold seawater seemed to swallow her whole. The biting chill seeped into every crack of her body. The stench of the ocean made her gag.The water was up to her chin. She stood on tiptoes, desperate for a breath in that tiny space."Save me." Her eyes flew open.Familiar surroundings came into view. Her pupils darted until they landed on Marion. Her racing heart finally slowed."Marion?" Her v

    Not long after, Marion came out with Debra.William nudged Erica and Randy. "Told you it would be soon.""How's she out here fresh after surgery?" Erica gawked.Debra was supposed to recover in the hospital, but seeing her unconscious form on the stretcher, Erica figured he had his reasons."Let's go back," Jordan chimed in. "The Potter Mansion's got a top-notch medical team. If we need gear, I'll grab it.""Yeah, hospitals suck anyway," Randy said. "Let's head back. It's freezing out here."They'd planned to grab food and head in, but Erica had made them wait so Marion could have more time with Debra. Now they were all sniffling."I'm... Achoo." William sneezed again, then bolted for the car. "I'm out of there. It's freaking cold."He had treated so many patients, but this was the first time he had fallen ill.Debra, still out cold, was loaded into the back. Marion stayed close, tending to her.By the time they reached the Potter Mansion, it was the middle of the night.Wil

    William rubbed his eyes in disbelief.They had taken the emergency lane to the hospital, but Marion and the others arrived right behind their heels after going through a battle."We floored it. That's not the point," Erica replied.Marion and Jordan were already striding into the hospital.Randy grabbed Erica's arm. "Come on. Let's go.""Huh? William is still here." She was puzzled.Inside, the operating room's red light glowed.Marion arrived first. The hospital director greeted him, saying, "Mrs. Houston is in surgery now. Our top doctors have assessed her. The wound's been handled perfectly, and she is out of danger."Marion's face softened a bit. Erica heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God. She's fine now."They'd been terrified seeing Debra collapse in a pool of blood."You're wiped out. Why don't you rest a bit?" Erica said, turning to Marion."I'll wait here," he replied, his eyes glued to the red light.Until it turned green, he couldn't rest his mind at ease."Well

    Michael raised an eyebrow. "My plan never included you. Does our master know you snuck here from Orkgate? And you've got the nerve to question me?"Lara glared at him, her body aching from the burns. Her face twisted with anger."Take Miss Sharp back for treatment. It will take two hours to get back, so she'll have to tough it out," Michael ordered, unfazed.Before leaving with his crew, he lamented sanctimoniously, "Such a shame, ruining a pretty face like that."Lara clenched her fists, incandescent with rage....In the ambulance, Debra coughed up another mouthful of blood. It splattered right onto William's white coat."Aw." William almost griped about the mess, holding back only at the sight of her bad condition.He had to save her, no matter what. It was a promise he'd made to Andrew.He didn't even want to think about what would happen to him if Debra didn't make it today."Maybe another shot of painkiller? We've gotta get that bullet out fast," a medic suggested."Yo
