Chapter 10 Marinus' Arrival

• The voice was as sharp as an ice blade, and as it echoed, it seemed to pierce directly into Jerry's heart like the sharpest of ice blades.
• Jerry trembled all over.
• Whirling around suddenly, he fixed his eyes on a towering silhouette advancing toward him with calculated calmness.
• The figure's pace wasn't fast, but with each deliberate step that landed on the ground, it felt like a crushing weight on his heart.
• "D*mn it! Where do you think you came from, you sc*undrel? Do you seek trouble?
• "Kneel immediately, bow before me three times, then disappear, or I shall fracture your limbs."
• Familiar with haughtiness, Jerry roared on reflex.
• Without hesitation, he swung his right hand and shouted, "Get him! Break this guy's limbs and show him who's in charge."
• At the command's utterance, more than thirty thugs and bodyguards accompanying Jerry surged toward Ronan, positioned ten metres distant.
• Thud, thud, thud!
• Meanwhile, Vivienne remained rooted to the spot, frozen in place.
• Tears flowed down her cheeks as she witnessed the man drawing near, her body quivering with disbelief.
• "He ... He ... he's alive?
• "He's alive, and he's come back."
• In a heartbeat, Vivienne broke into tears. She had never imagined seeing Ronan again after five years—the father of her two daughters.
• "Vivienne, is he ... Hope and Grace's dad?"
• Lillian's eyes widened in sudden realisation as she connected the dots.
• Despite her persistent questioning over the years, Vivienne had maintained a steadfast silence regarding the father of her daughters.
• Observing her reaction now, Lillian could feel the weight of the truth.
• "Ronan, you must leave, now. Find a solution to save Hope and Grace, they are your children.
• "Leave me behind, concentrate on rescuing our daughters, hurry!"
• Vivienne first froze, then shouted hoarsely, her voice filled with desperation. She didn't care about her own fate. All she cared about was her daughters' safety.
• "What? This sc*m is the man who made you pregnant before marriage all those years ago?"
• Upon hearing Vivienne's words, Jerry instantly flew into a rage.
• The volcano of rage within him erupted instantly, veins bulging on his forehead.
• "Kill, kill ... attack him! Break this sc*m's limbs, then let me personally kill him."
• Jerry roared in fury.
• His men surged forward towards Ronan in a wild frenzy, their aggression fierce like tigers pouncing on prey.
• In an instant, over thirty men had already reached Ronan's front.
• "You're finished, you sc*m." Jerry grinned savagely.
• "Run, Ronan! Run! Hurry!"
• Vivienne's rasping scream reverberated amid the chaos.
• However, confronted by more than thirty men, Ronan's countenance remained unnervingly tranquil, a faint, malevolent grin curling his lips.
• Before the men could close in, a sudden voice cut through the air.
• "Hmph, you vermin dare to insult my boss, prepare to meet your end!"
• The voice boomed like a storm.
• Suddenly, a silhouette descended from above, landing with such impact that a blast of wind swept through the gathering.
• It was Marinus, one of the Four Great Warriors!
• "Get lost!"
• Marinus commanded, his voice booming like crashing waves. The onslaught of men charging at him was instantly blasted back, vomiting blood as their bones and meridians shattered, their life force extinguished.
• "What had just happened?
• "How can this be?"
• Jerry's ferocity melted into sheer terror.
• "Oh my, what is this?"
• Lillian stood rooted to the spot, completely bewildered.
• Could he really be a mere human?
• Descending from above, a single word from him threw the attackers into disarray. He was no ordinary man. He was a deity in human form.
• Turning to Vivienne, perhaps due to the intense emotional turmoil, she had already collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
• She was oblivious to the awe-inspiring sight of Marinus descending from above.
• "Don't come near me, stay away ... all of you, get the hell away!
• "I'm from the Houles. My dad is Austin Houle, the leader of the Houles.
• "My aunt is from the most prominent family of Zyltria, she's married into the Harveys. If you dare touch a hair on my head, I have ten thousand ways to ensure you have no place to bury your dead!"
