Kapitel 301: Farewell

"Ugh!" Marcus's breath hitched as his entire body stopped moving altogether. He glanced at Jackson, who displayed a faster speed than him.

The sound of flesh ripping and bones breaking resonated in his ears. The red glow in his eyes slowly disappeared while staring at Jackson's sharp side profile. His reaction, however, was unlike what one would expect. 

Marcus smiled subtly in relief. "Thank…" he trailed off as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "... you."
