William and his family were packing whatever essential items they could before abandoning their house and running away till the military got tired of chasing them. William had no idea where they should go since no place was really safe, and even the one they were staying till today was a place he found by pure luck. There was no guarantee he would be able to find such one again. Nathasia's mind was distracted as she packed her stuff, thinking about Marcus' or to be precise Damien...the Crimson Devil,…-

A deathly silence descended as Marcus' slowly got up, and wiped away the blood from his mouth, his scarf already undone to reveal a strikingly handsome face which looked a bit pale. Nathasia stared at Marcus as if she lost her breath. In fact, not only her but everyone else was petrified seeing the face they all were familiar...a face the whole world was familiar with. In fact, there would hardly be a soul in the world who was not familiar with this face. "Marcus…" Nathasia mumbled in disbelief while…

Reinhard's focus shifted towards the outside, and Nathasia took this opportunity to run towards her parents. Reinhard didn't care where Nathasia was running towards since, in his perspective, he had already caught her, and she was trapped. But first, he had to see if those who came in those jeeps were the ones he was thinking. So he went outside. Laina had woken up by now and was shocked and worried to see Nathasia was still here. She was about to shout at Nathasia when Nathasia spoke first frantically,…

Reinhard lifted William by his neck till his feet were dangling in the air. "William!" Laina cried out as she rushed at Reinhard, but he slapped her away, making her fall to the ground. "You...bastard!" William coughed out a curse while his neck was being slowly squeezed. Reinhard scoffed and threw him against the wall. "Ugh!" William's back hit against the wall and collapsed on the floor. He slowly tried to get up, "Our daughter is...nothing special...why would you try so hard to get her? Just…

Vitaly focused his eyes and looked at Marcus with a narrow gaze. Marcus felt like some unknown force was trying to break through his mind's barriers to get inside. But he resisted and… "Aaargh!!" Vitaly suddenly howled in pain as he clutched his head and stumbled back, hitting his head against the wall before collapsing on the floor. Everyone was shocked, wondering what happened and how Vitaly was the one who seemed to take damage instead of Marcus. William and Laina had personally experienced how it…

Marcus quickly ran back to Nathasia's house but didn't barge in since he wanted to take them by surprise and get rid of as many men as he could using the element of surprise. He knew he could barely be classified as an Ascended now since his true powers apparently have a mood swing and were not something under his control. He didn't know how powerful the Ascended ones who entered her house were. So he didn't want to take unnecessary risks. As for a weapon, he only had an axe in his hand. But when he…

"Ray, don't do anything stupid. We don't want any trouble. Besides, the only reason I had to kill Timothy was that he threatened to take my daughter, and I don't regret what I had to do," William said in a somber tone. *Click!* Suddenly the kitchen door opened, and Jacob said frantically, "Ray, the girl is not here!" Ray's brows raised in surprise, and he turned around to ask the same to William only to see two guns being pointed at him. "No need to bother looking for her. We knew you guys would come…

"No, I can't go! Not without you and Ma!" Nathasia defiantly said as tears began to well up in her eyes. "Nathasia!" William sternly said in a low voice as he continued in a gentle tone, "This is not the type for you to be willful. If you are still here, your mother and I won't be able to take care of those people without thinking about your safety. But if you at least escape, for now, we can do things without worrying about anything else. Do you understand me?" Nathasia bitterly nodded and bit her lips…

"Oh, they are right here. It's just my wife is busy in the kitchen. I will tell her to prepare some snacks and drinks for you guys," William said with lowered lids as he stiffly walked towards the kitchen. Meanwhile, a few minutes ago, Marcus, who was in Nathasia's room, had a pensive expression as he felt that those who came just now seemed to be worrisome for this family. He heard the laughs of multiple men and the brash way in which they were talking. "Marcus, is everything alright, or should we go…

Marcus was sitting at the dinner table with Nathasia, William, and Liana. He still was only drinking juice using a straw so that he doesn't have to remove his scarf. By now, not only Nathasia but even William and Liana had started treating Marcus as a friend even though they still didn't know his identity. They felt that Marcus was a quiet and decent man who kept to himself for his own reasons. Still, they were very thankful to him for saving their daughter and teaching her for free. They could see how…
