Chapter 943: The Marc Menace
"Sorry for causing trouble! My sister has a mental illness that makes her act like an idiot. I’ll take responsibility, so please don’t hold it against her."
The guards were all surprised when they saw the man bowing in front of them, and the man turned around and seethed at the woman.
"Put the fucking slug down!"
The woman narrowed her eyes in annoyance before she clicked her tongue and threw the slug to the ground. The slug shifted away from the crazy woman quickly, and the man grabbed her head and forced her to bow as he apologised once again.
"We’re really sorry for causing issues! I’ll make sure she reflects on her actions!"
The man quickly grabbed the woman’s arm and began running, and he could hear the slug shouting behind them for the guards to arrest the woman for assault! But before the guards could even move, the man activated another movement skill, and both he and the woman vanished from the docking station!
....
The two mysterious figures appeared in an alleyway hidden between two buildings far away from any of the main streets leading towards the Larapol Docking Station! The woman pulled herself away from the man the moment they stopped moving, and she glared at the hooded figure with obvious annoyance. But the moment the woman studied the man more closely, she finally lowered her guard, and she spoke with a frown.
"Harold?"
The woman asked curiously, and the hooded man finally threw down his hood to reveal a handsome face with black hair and dark eyes. This was Harold Marc, the third son of the sixth wife of Richard Marc, and a scientist working in one of the many research academies in the second domain ruled by Angel Rak’hael.
Harold had been following this woman for a few days now since he found her two worlds ago, and he couldn’t believe how stupid his sister was.
"Were you really trying to fight your way into a Larapol ship, Valeria? What in the world were you thinking? Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused in the past few weeks?"
Opposite Harold, the woman he had saved frowned as she turned away in annoyance. This woman was Valeria Marc, the second child of the fifth wife of Richard Marc and a member of one of the most notorious mercenary groups in the Primordial Expanse, the Dragonclaw Mercenaries!
For the past few weeks, Valeria had been travelling across the Primordial Expanse to try and reach the sixth domain where Jason Marc lived in order to begin her mission. As one of the strongest members of the Marc family, Valeria was someone that Harold had been keeping an eye on for a while because he knew that any move she made would reflect on the rest of the family. So the moment Valeria left her mercenary group behind and began moving towards the sixth domain, Harold had sent one of his spies to find out her location.
But Harold could never have guessed the sheer amount of carnage Valeria would cause in just the few weeks since she started her journey! Valeria was an absolute maniac! The problems had begun in the world of Vratax about five hundred dimensional leaps away from here. Valeria had boarded a ship crossing a monster-infested ocean, and she had entered into a disagreement with a man and ended up throwing him overboard into the water in anger!
That wouldn’t have been a problem if it were any regular man, but it turned out that the man she threw overboard was the king of a fucking country! Valeria ended up being chased by more than a thousand guards who all wanted her dead, and Valeria had to escape into another world to lose them! After that, there was just one problem after another with her! Valeria had killed a president, kidnapped a princess, stolen a cultural heirloom, and eaten an extremely rare pet belonging to the Supreme leader of a world in that time, and Harold’s spy had worked overtime just to try and cover up all the messes that Valeria had made!
It had gotten so bad that Harold himself had to leave what he had been doing, and he traced Valeria down to this world to see what the hell she was doing by himself! And the first thing Harold saw the moment he met Valeria was her trying to beat up a Larapol official for no reason!
Valeria might be strong, but Harold couldn’t help but think that Valeria was an absolute idiot!
"Do you know how much money I’ve spent covering up your messes for the past few weeks. Your actions reflect on all the members of our family, Valeria. You can’t go around messing things up in the Primordial Expanse while bearing the Marc name!"
Valeria’s frown deepened when Harold began speaking to her in a lecturing tone, and Harold’s eyes narrowed when Valeria suddenly turned around and started walking out. Harold reached out and grabbed Valeria’s arm to stop her!
"Valeria! What the hell is wrong with you!? I’m trying to have a conversation!"
"There’s no need to talk about anything. I don’t need your help, and I won’t listen to your lectures. I have somewhere to be."
Valeria turned around and glared at Harold, and Harold felt his heart skip a beat when he sensed Valeria’s power surge through the alleyway! Valeria was already at the peak of TITAN Rank II, and Harold was barely at TITAN Rank I, so there was no doubt who would win in a fight between the two of them, but Harold also knew that Valeria wouldn’t hurt him, so he stood his ground and asked her:
"What exactly are you trying to achieve by doing things this way? What do you even want to do on the sixth domain?"
Valeria frowned.
"It’s none of your business."
"If you’re thinking of meeting the youngest brother like this, then I suggest you think about this again. He is the Overlord of a domain. Using force against him will be a crime against the Council of Nine and One."
Valeria pulled her hand away from Harold and spoke in annoyance.
"I don’t care about the council, and I don’t care if he’s an overlord. I have business to settle, and he will help me settle it."
Harold let out a sigh and looked away from Valeria’s hard stare. Harold didn’t need to be a genius to understand exactly what Valeria was trying to do here! The issue between the family of the fifth wife and the family of the first wife was probably the most popular drama in their entire family, and Harold could not hold Valeria’s anger against her! Harold could still remember that day like it was yesterday! The intense quarrel between the first and fifth wives and how their oldest brother had gone too far when attacking the fifth wife to defend his mother. The beat-down their father gave to the first son was legendary to this day!
But it was obvious that this wasn’t enough for Valeria! Valeria’s mother was still suffering the aftereffects of Gregory’s attack, and Valeria wanted true revenge against her brother! Valeria wanted to kill Gregory, and she was trying to recruit Jason’s help to do it.
"This isn’t the way, Valeria."
Harold finally spoke in an understanding tone, and he tried to make Valeria understand that she was only going to make things worse. Trying to seek out vengeance wasn’t wrong, but they were a family, and bringing vengeance into the family like this would only cause more problems in the future! But Valeria didn’t care. Valeria’s glare hardened, and she spoke with absolute finality!
"I don’t care what you think is right. You either help me or you get out of my way. I don’t care which path you choose, but you will not stop me."
