Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

"Because here....." Marion continued, tapping his temple, "you're not as good as me."

Robert's sharp instincts quickly picked up on something unusual. The area around the courtyard had been surrounded. Given the footsteps, he could roughly tell their number. There were at least a hundred people.

He couldn't believe Marion had mobilized such a force just to rescue Debra.

"As I said," Robert continued, "as long as I'm here, no one gets through."

His eyes glinted with cold determination.

"Sir, we've found Mrs. Houston and Ms. Buchan," someone reported.

Robert snorted, "That's impossible. Stop bluffing."

"They're in the basement of the Buchan Mansion," Marion smirked. "You like playing tricks, and I play along. Truth be told, I came here for you."

Robert was still holding the detonator, but it was no longer a threat.

Marion had figured out the game. At first, they hadn't found Debra and Theda in the basement because Robert had moved them. Later, when they were gone, Robert brought them back.

It was a clever trick that could fool anyone except Marion.

"Now you understand why I was the mind of the Bernard family all those years, and you were just the muscle."

"I am the muscle, and you can't beat me. I can just kill you and Debra. Then Theda can reclaim her power in Seamar City."

Marion shook his cigarette and crushed it underfoot. "You can try."

Robert quickly pulled out a dagger, ready to fight.

"Sir, catch it," one of Robert's men shouted, tossing him a gun.

Marion caught it but threw it back. He drew out his own dagger and engaged Robert.

Robert's strikes were precise and deadly, giving him the upper hand But as the fight dragged on, he began to realize that none of his moves were working.

Marion dodged effortlessly, while Robert was exhausting his most lethal techniques.

"Is that all you've got?" Marion scoffed.noveldrama

Everyone in Seamar City knew Marion was fast with a gun, but few realized his

knife skills were even deadlier.

In a split second, Marion spotted an opening. With a swift motion, h

shallow but bleeding cut.

Robert staggered back, his hand instinctively going to his neck. Beads of blood trickled down.

As an assassin, he knew that the strike had been aimed at his carotid artery. If he hadn't dodged in time, he'd already be dead.

"Come again," Marion taunted. "Let's fight it out."

Provoked, Robert charged forward with another deadly strike. Marion countered

with a powerful kick to his chest.
