Chapter 5

Ravenous Wolf, who had the upper hand just now, flew backward like a kite with a broken string for more than thirty feet. Afterward, he slammed against the wall heavily. His head lolled to the side, and he passed out! Marcus, on the other hand, was unscathed. It had been as easy as swatting a fly. “How is this possible?” Anna widened her beautiful eyes, and a huge wave was set off in her heart. She had extraordinary knowledge, so she naturally knew what it meant to be the ninth in the Dark Rank! That was a pinnacle position in the world of killers! Those people carried out at least hundreds of S-level missions. They had no care for the life of others and never missed a kill. Therefore, she had given up resistance just now. She thought she would die here. However, who knew... This stranger who was passing by had performed a miracle for her! “My name is Anna Nelson. May I know what your name is?” Anna stepped forward quickly and excitedly. “I’m Marcus Knight!” he replied. “Mr. Knight, you saved my life. I have to thank you! I will agree to everything, even if you ask me for my body.” After she finished speaking, she blinked playfully and smiled sweetly. It was enough to charm any living being. Even Marcus was at a loss for a moment. Soon, he regained his clarity and shook his head. “No need! Miss Nelson, I didn’t save you to get any rewards. Now that you are safe, I will take my leave.” He was about to leave. “Huh?” This attitude surprised Anna, and she even began to doubt her own charm. She had a special physique and a charming bone in her body. When men saw her, they would be fascinated and want to kneel and kiss her feet in every possible way. This was the first time she saw someone as indifferent to her as Marcus! “Stop!” Suddenly, a bodyguard got up from the ground and yelled at Marcus. “Kid, Miss Anna is so noble that everyone should look up to her! It’s a blessing that she likes you, but you don’t know how to cherish it! Do you know that you’ve missed out on a big backer?” Hearing this, Marcus turned and looked back. His eyes were extremely piercing, like a sharp sword. “I don’t need any backing! “Because I am a mountain!” Every word of his was as deafening as thunder! After saying that, he did not stop any longer and left quickly. “Miss, this guy is crazy! He’s probably playing hard to get so he can get your attention,” the bodyguard snarled. “Shut up!” Anna scolded him, then looked at Marcus' back. A strange look flashed across her beautiful eyes. Although this was just their first meeting, Marcus was so special compared to any boy she met before! “Grandpa looked into my future for me. He said that my Mr. Right was in the East Sea. “Could it be... Could he be the one?” … A few minutes later, Marcus took the elevator to the hotel lobby. “Why are you here, punk?” Suddenly, an enigmatic female voice came from behind. Marcus looked back and saw a young man and woman standing behind him. It was his ex-girlfriend Lexie and his cousin Shaun! ‘What a small world!’ “Marcus, I haven’t seen you for three years, but I didn’t expect you to be so destitute. You don’t have any decent clothes. Even your sleeves are torn!” Shaun showed him contempt. “Hmm?” Marcus frowned, only to realize that his sleeves were torn from the punch he gave Ravenous Wolf just now, so it looked tattered. “You are so wretched. You’re here at Dynasty Hotel to apply for a security guard position, right?” Lexie mocked. “Marcus, you just got out of prison, so you must be homeless now! I just bought a new villa, and I don’t have a housekeeper yet. I will give you an eight thousand dollar monthly salary, and you can live in a kennel at night. What do you think? Hahaha!” Shaun let out a proud laugh. “Shaun, don’t be so confident! “Back then, you framed me, put me behind bars, and took away my father’s Four Oceans Corporation, but now, I’m back! “So, you have to spit out everything you owe me, and not a penny less!!!” Marcus gritted his teeth, and there was a monstrous hatred in his eyes. He looked very scary. “Tch!” Shaun just curled his lips. “Marcus, three years ago, your father James burned to death in a fire, so you are no longer the eldest son of the Knight family. You are just a piece of trash who just got out of prison! Meanwhile, I am the CEO of Four Oceans Corporation, and with just one word, I can make your life in the East Sea a living hell!” “That’s right!” Lexie echoed him. “In a week, Shaun and I will hold our engagement party at Dynasty Hotel! Guests from all over the city will come to congratulate us, and Shaun and I will officially enter the upper-class circles of the East Sea!” “Hmph!” Marcus sneered disdainfully. “What wishful thinking, you adulterous swine. But I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold the engagement party in a week!” “What are you saying?” Lexie rolled her eyes at him and snarled, “Marcus, you have been in prison for three years, yet you’re still so arrogant. Who do you think you’re trying to prevent us from holding an engagement party? Do you think you’re the owner of Dynasty Hotel?” “That’s right!” Marcus nodded. He put on a mysterious smile and announced shockingly, “I am indeed the owner of Dynasty Hotel!” … ‘What?’ After hearing this, Shaun and Lexie were taken aback for a moment. Then, they burst into laughter as if they had heard some hilarious joke. “Hahaha! I’m going to die from laughter! How much did you drink, you brat? This lie is too ridiculous! Why don’t you say that you’re the mayor of the East Sea?” “Marcus, do you have a few screws loose? Should I pay to send you to a mental hospital for treatment?” Their mocks came one after another. Neither of them believed Marcus at all. Who in the entire East Sea did not know that Dynasty Hotel was the property of the hotel tycoon Frank Lincoln? Meanwhile, Marcus was a piece of trash who just got out of prison. His clothes were all tattered, and he did not have the qualifications to even meet with Frank, so how could he own this billion-dollar hotel? “Since you don’t believe me, forget it! Just wait and see! I will expose your heinous behavior to the public!” Marcus turned to leave after he said that. “Wait, who gave you permission to go?” Suddenly, Shaun blocked his way arrogantly and aggressively. “Marcus, you haven’t handed over the heirloom jade pendant you wear around your neck yet! It is said that there is a shocking treasure hidden in it! Only the strong are worthy of such a treasure!” Upon hearing this, Marcus’s eyes turned icy, and he said coldly, “If you want it, you can get it yourself! But don’t blame me for not warning you. If you start a fight with me, I will definitely beat you until your mother can’t recognize you.” “Hehe! I heard from Lexie that you learned some martial arts in prison and even beat up all the men I sent to you! “But I have not been idle either for the past three years. Now, I am a black belt, and I will turn you into a cripple with just one kick!” After speaking, Shaun took a stride and rushed toward Marcus. “You’re dead!” Marcus’s eyes had a needle-like sharpness. He was about to take action and deal with this scoundrel! At this moment, a woman’s coquettish shout came from behind, piercing through the scene. “Stop it!”
