Asura Conqueror

Chapter 39: FutureX

Marcus put his robes back on and grabbed another mask inside his pocket dimension. His mood was sullen. He looked at the dead bodies one last time before he started walking.

His guards were all tied up in the area where the hostages were.

'I really wish I could spread out my senses.' Marcus thought. He wants to look for pirates around him and slowly make his way to where the hostages are. He also needs to vent the seething rage he's barely able to contain.

"I could always help." Nexus' voice sounded in his mind.

"I can still handle it." Marcus flatly replied.

"You know, it doesn't have to be a one man crusade. Two heads are better than one. Am I right?" Nexus advised.

"mm" Marcus nodded.

"So is that a yes?" Nexus was ready to go out. He wants to stretch.

"Yes, and no I can still handle it." Marcus still sounded unemotional.

"Damn, someone's gloomy as hell. I thought you said you were going to call me when you needed help" Nexus lightly chuckled. He didn't speak anymore after that.

The red light in the halls was still bright, the alarms had already turned silent, and only Marcus' footsteps could be heard echoing as walked through the piles of bodies that laid on the floor.

A group of pirates soon came to his sites. They were robbing the dead. The pirates checked every single pocket so as to not miss a single penny.

Marcus walked towards them. They looked at him and one of them shouted "Hey! Looks like we still have a live one here. I'll skip the --"

A hand pierced his chest. The pirate spat out a mouthful of blood. The others were shocked, they quickly assumed a stance, preparing for battle.

'I'll kill your whole crew while you stay in the Bridge.' Marcus evilly smiled as dashed forward, his hands turned red as he threw punches to their soon to explode bodies. These were only rank 7 Elites.

The Captain and his number 1 lackey who was in the bridge were trying to get information from the three people. Marcus does not know who they were nor did he care.

He strode forward killing everyone with only physical attacks. He finally reached the place where the hostages were being kept. They were still huddled up in the middle. Everyone was sitting down not even daring to raise their heads. The ones who finished were picking girls from the groups.

"I like this one." A pirate said as he pointed to a beautiful and elegant woman.

"I saw her first so I get to have her." Another said.

"You can have her once I'm done with her!" The first pirate who spoke strode forward. He grabbed the woman by the arms and started to undress her in front of everybody. She screamed and screamed but no one helped.

Marcus arrived.

'These people are disgusting.' Marcus zipped and landed behind the man. He thrust his red hands through the man's back upper left chest. It pierced through and grabbed the heart and crushed it.

The people who he thought were disgusting were not only the pirates but also the onlookers. No one helped. Some even had an excited look on their faces.

Marcus dropped the heart. Everyone's eyes were on him. Including the woman who was trying to cover her body. Marcus got another one of his cloaks and draped it around the woman.

Gary, his mentor, had taught him how to be a gentleman. Even though his version is kind of twisted and a few were just downright wrong, some were still upright, equitable, virtuous, and well, valid.

The dark blonde, brown-eyed woman thanked Marcus multiple times, her body never stopped shivering.

Marcus looked to the side.

The pirate trembled. He backed away but Marcus was too fast. There were only 2 remaining pirates here. One of them seized a hostage and said "If you move I'll blow this man's brains up."

Marcus looked at the hostage. Marcus zipped forward and blew the pirate's brains up.

"You could have killed me!" The hostage yelled. Anger and fear were evident in his eyes.

Marcus didn't respond. He didn't even look at him because when he heard him say that, his Asura blood boiled. His thoughts were, 'I should have killed you in the process.'

He didn't care if the person lived or died. Marcus thought he had no fault over the matter. The person was just unlucky that he was picked.

Marcus moved towards the last pirate and killed him.

The hostages were thankful that they were saved. Marcus proceeded to free his guards. Once they could move their hands, the three immediately took the pill and drank the potion. The effects of the power enhancer Marcus gave them already wore off quite some time ago.

The hostages still didn't move. They were all huddled in the center.

Marcus went to a corner and contacted Nexus "You wanted to come out right?"

"Now you need help?" Nexus scoffed.

"Not really. I just need you to babysit." Marcus said. His mood already lightened since he already vented most of his anger out.

"Are you fucking serious right now? You want me to take care of those hostages? Over my dead body!" Nexus raised his voice.

"Are you really going to leave Big Sister out here alone?" Marcus chuckled.

"You wouldn't" Nexus narrowed his eyes.

"Come on. I also need to balance things out. Big Sis also wanted to help so it's a win-win situation." Marcus was ready to go into the stone.

"Balance things out? Are you talking about your good bad acts bullshit?" Nexus who was in the stone stood up and relayed what Marcus said to Eva. The woman of course nodded.

"Fuck off! That's how I operate." Marcus cursed.

Soon two figures appeared in front of him.

Marcus gave Eva and Nexus red robes and masks.

Though Eva wore a robe, it couldn't hide her sexy curves. They went out of the corner and surprised everyone. The males were looking at one of them. Their eyes glued towards the bulging parts.

Eva surveyed them with a look of disgust but soon her eyes focused on the woman who wore the same robe as them and was shivering. She looked at her intently and whispered to Marcus "If I'm not mistaken that's the rebellious daughter of the CEO of FutureX. The number one tech company in Estra. She's also the only child. Her name is Zoey."

Nexus looked at Eva "How do you know this?"

Eva smiled at him "I read Business Insider every day."

Marcus chuckled. "That's great I guess. I just saved another heir of a large company, just another Tuesday for me."

Eva shook her head "Baby Brother we can use this to our advantage. You said that you saved her, which means she'll be grateful to you. I'll go there and bring her somewhere quiet, let her cool down and comfort her. She'll trust me because I'm with you guys. Of course, I'll be removing my mask so that there will be no barrier. I'll casually slip in my name in the process. When we reach Estra, she'll be able to hear my name when we open our business. The rest you can already figure out."

Eva's explanation dumbfounded the two. Nexus didn't care about these stuff so he didn't even think about that. Marcus wasn't thinking anything related to business right now. How to defeat the Captain is currently on replay in his mind.

"Big Sis can be scary sometimes. You might get manipulated like that in the future." Marcus looked at Nexus.

"Hell, she can do whatever she wants. I too, can do whatever I want to her, hehehe," Nexus chuckled.

Eva patted Zoey's head, told her something, and then they headed towards a nearby place away from people's eyes.

"Can you tell me what the Captain and his lackey are doing in the Bridge?" Marcus wanted to fight. But he still has to wait. He's worried that his mana is not enough.

Nexus just laughed and looked at him.

Marcus sighed "Alright, I was being controlled by my emotions and couldn't think straight awhile ago. You were right, I should not go on one-man crusades and yes, two heads are better than one."

"Finally! Hmm, they're currently interrogating three people. Asking for their money. Those people must be smoking rich!" Nexus had dollars appear on his eyes.

"Once they get what they want, they're most likely going to leave. They might even blow this place up. We have to stop them!" Marcus clenched his fist.

"Ahem, so what you said was, you wanted to stop them because the Captain tricked you?" Nexus playfully said.

"Shut up!" Marcus cursed."Tell me where the remaining pirates in this ship are. I'll take them all down and when I do I'll head towards the Bridge. You stay here and guard the hostages."

"Fuck, all I heard was 'babysit the hostages'" Nexus grumbled as he spread his senses. He told Marcus where the remaining pirates are located.
