Chapter 0139 

Marens Bartz had just settled into a luxurious house along Coravela’s Arcfield Boulevard, overlooking the beach. The property offered stunning ocean views and was fortified with state–of–the–art security. systems. 

It was a sprawling house for a man living alone, and his sudden arrival didn’t go unnoticed. Residents of the area speculated about the secrecy and speed of the move, some guessing a celebrity might have bought the property. But these rumors remained just hat–rumors. 

Frederick, how’s the move coming along? I don’t like having so many people in the house. Make sure they wrap this up quickly and leave,” Marcus sald, staring out the window. 

“Yes, sir. They’re almost done. This will be their only day here. Would you like to retreat to your study? I’ll make sure no one disturbs you.” 

“Fine. Make sure I’m left alone,” Marcus replied, heading to the room that had been designated as his study.

“But we’ll have to come back eventually!” 

“Life’s too short not to take chances, don’t you think? 

“I regret teaching you that phrase. You use it for everything…” 

Marcus’s eyes were closed as he relived the moment, but the sound of the door opening snapped him. back to reality. Frederick stepped in, his expression serious. 

“Sir, I’ve just learned that Mr. Albert Preston passed away in Valentia during his arrest

Marcus stared at the screen, hils mind racing. A sense of unease washed over him as a thought formed in 

his head. 

“Frederick, what happened with the person in New York?” 

“Exactly what we suspected. Frank Levett went after lim.” 

“It’s all connected, don’t you think? It’s a strange chain of events.” 

“Yes, sir, I thought the same. Do you believe this is tied to the Palmer family and their dealings?”
