MasukMarcus Pov The room became so quiet that I could hear every breath behind me. I slowly raised my hand until my palm rested gently against James’s forehead. His skin felt cold. For a brief moment, I didn’t move. Everyone waited silently. I could feel their eyes on me, but none of them dared speak. I slowly closed my eyes, and a deep breath escaped my lips. Then I loosened the restraint on my energy aura. A soft silver-blue light gathered beneath my palm. At first, it flowed quietly, but within seconds, it became stronger. I could even feel it spread through the room, carrying a pressure that made the air feel heavier. I frowned but still slowly and carefully guided my energy into James’s body little by little, following the connection beneath my hand. The moment it entered him, I felt it. His consciousness was weak… faint, like it could disappear any second. My heart tightened, and my face turned serious. Hold on… Just a little longer. Slowly, I sent another small wave of aura
Marcus Pov I watched as the doctor’s face completely changed. “Move!” His roar echoed through the treatment room. Two nurses immediately sprang into action. One grabbed the emergency tray, while the other adjusted James’s oxygen mask with trembling hands. “Increase the oxygen!” “Yes, Doctor!” The monitor continued to echo through the room. Each sound came farther apart than the last. My eyes remained on the screen, not shifting for even a second. The green line rose… then dropped again. The doctor quickly leaned over James and pressed two fingers against his neck. Suddenly, his breathing became hurried. “He’s fading!” The nurse beside him gasped. “No… his heartbeat is dropping even more!” As the words dropped, coldness spread across my body. The doctor didn’t waste another second. He roared, “Start the rescue!” Immediately, I watched as he climbed onto the bed, then placed both hands firmly on James’s chest. “1… 2… 3….” The doctor’s hands pressed down hard. Then the nur
Marcus Pov The moment I pushed the door open, the smell of blood and medicine rushed into my nose. The private treatment room inside the jet was brightly lit, yet it felt strangely cold. Machines surrounded the bed in the middle of the room, their lights blinking as soft beeping sounds echoed through the room.Two nurses moved around the bed with tense faces, while the doctor who had led me in stood beside them, checking the numbers on the monitor.The moment my eyes fell on the man lying in the bed, my footsteps stopped instantly. For a moment, I simply looked at him.His chest rose and fell so weakly that if I didn’t look carefully, I’d think he had stopped breathing.Without saying a word, I walked over. But the closer I got, the tighter my chest became.My hand reached for the blanket that covered him, and with one pull, I swept it aside. Instantly, James’s face came into view.My fingers froze.His face was so pale that not even a trace of color remained. Dried blood stained one
Marcus Pov The corner of my lips lifted slightly, but I didn’t answer him. I simply looked at him. The battlefield around us was still filled with gunfire and screams, yet in my eyes only Henry remained. Suddenly, he frowned, gritted his teeth, and glared at me. I knew he could see the disdain in my eyes because the longer I looked at him, the uglier his expression became. To him, it probably looked as though I wasn’t looking at a person but at empty air. Just then, I heard the sound of a crack. My eyes trailed down indifferently only to see his fingers clenched so hard that his knuckles cracked. His crimson energy burst out even higher. “What’s with that look?!” he roared, his voice echoing across the estate. “Marcus, don’t think I’m scared of you! This is my territory!” He spread both arms and pointed everywhere as if showing me everything around us. “I can call more men if I want! Look around you. You only brought 20 men, and some of them are already injured, so there is n
Marcus PovMy eyes swept across the hundreds of men standing before me. Every rifle was aimed at us, and their fingers rested on the triggers.Behind me, Nexus and the others slowly raised their own guns. At the same time, their pheromone energy burst out without holding back. Different colors shimmered around them, clashing against the pressure coming from Henry’s soldiers.The tension in the air felt so heavy, it was as if time had stopped moving.I looked at Henry. The man before me no longer looked like a respected Major. Instead, he looked like a cornered beast… or should I say mad and desperate.As I looked at them, there wasn’t a trace of fear in my eyes. Then, for a brief second, I glanced towards the private jet waiting in the distance.My eyes quivered slightly.Everything should be settled now, right?My lips pursed as the thought disappeared as fast as it came. Finally, I looked back at the army before me, and my own aura slowly rose.Silver-blue energy flowed around my bo
Marcus Pov The room turned deadly silent. Every gun remained raised, every finger rested on a trigger, yet no one dared to move.The guard who had rushed in stood in the middle of the room, breathing so hard that his chest rose and fell like he had run for his life.Across from me, Henry stared at him blankly, and for the first time since I arrived, the man before me truly looked afraid.I watched him quietly. The aura around me remained calm, my lips held the faintest smile, but my eyes were darker than the night outside.So… it finally happened. Right on time!Henry, who was in a daze, finally snapped back to his senses. His face twisted with fury as he grabbed the guard by his collar.“What the hell do you mean he escaped?!”The guard trembled. “Major… It’s exactly as I reported! W-We didn’t know what happened either!”This seemed to make Henry even angrier.“Then explain!”His roar shook the room as he lost his composure.The frightened guard swallowed hard, then began to explain
