YM778.TV Chapter 319: Listen
Sophia let out a small sigh, her eyes searching his face for a moment before she spoke again. "Marcus, please, just this once. It\'s not like I\'m asking you to do something extreme," she pleaded, her voice laced with a touch of vulnerability. "I can be considered a beauty, is it really that hard to sit beside me for a while?"
Marcus weighed his options, knowing that his priority was to find out any information that could help locate Diana. Reluctantly, he nodded and took a seat beside her, his gaze directed slightly away from her face. He wanted to remain focused and not get swayed by any emotions that might arise in this intimate setting.
"Now, about the tip you wanted to share with me," Marcus began, his voice steady as he turned his attention to the matter at hand. "What did you hear about Diana? Is there any information that could help us find her?"
"I heard she might be a hideout of some rogues as I was able to get some videos of her, but I am sure that she is safe from the videos." she said as she picked her phone lying on the table to show him what she had seen.
With veins bubbling hard from his head, he muttered "bastards" as suddenly wanted to rush into the night and kill all those useless fools that took his beloved. "Where can I find them?" he asked as he released a low bestial growl.
She placed her hand on his shoulder, "now that is where the trade comes in" she said with a smile while licking her lips as though she was seeing a delicious meal. Marcus shivered as her expression but he stood still holding on to hope.
"What can you offer me for that information, I have pulled in favors to get it," her voice took on a seductive tone as she trailed her hand along Marcus\'s chest, her fingers hinting at a deeper desire as her hand trailed on his chest attempting to move lower. "I\'m sure you know what I want, so just make yourself comfortable.
You can have a little rest and relax at no cost, right?" she asked in a tiny voice as her hand wandered around his chest while trying to go lower.
However, Marcus let out a heavy sigh, his grip firm but gentle as he took hold of Sophia\'s wandering hand, preventing it from going any further. He looked into her eyes, his expression a blend of frustration and resignation.
"Sophia, please," Marcus implored, his voice filled with a mixture of weariness and determination. "I understand your feelings and desires, but now is not the time. We need to focus on finding Diana. That is our priority."
As Sofia\'s attempts to seduce Marcus were thwarted, frustration and anger welled up inside her. She lunged at him, desperately trying to pin him down and seize his face in her hands. But Marcus, with his heightened reflexes, skillfully evaded her advances, swiftly moving out of her reach. His eyes flashed a deep shade of red for a brief moment, revealing the power within him.
Feeling a weak tug on her mind, Sofia closed her eyes and succumbed to a sudden drowsiness. Marcus had used his abilities to gently lull her into a peaceful sleep, avoiding any direct harm to her. He stood up, towering over her motionless form, contemplating his next move.
Sofia felt a weak tug on her mind and she closed her eyes for a nap. Although he could manipulate minds, he didn\'t want to try any sort of mind reading on her since her mind would not be able to get such an invasion of power leaving her as an imbecile.
While he considered the fact that he could wipe out her memories, he couldn\'t help but consider her status. Doing so was bound to bring some troubles that could break his fragile relationship, the thoughts made him sigh as he rumbled through her purse for the key and walked out of the room while closing the door behind.
"What a very weird fellow?" he muttered as he walked down the hall as his mood improved as he thought through the meeting, Diana was no immediate danger but it seems this matter was orchestrated by someone.
Breathing a sigh, he walked out of the hotel to his car before returning home in the dead of the night.
Suddenly, he braked hard as he noticed he had seen the building around in the video before, that\'s the small town where I met Diana for the first time.
Glad at the fact that the night was not wasted, he hurriedly returned home to talk to Atlas to organize a plan or decide if the cops would be the best help for the issue.

As Sophia\'s consciousness slowly returned, she found herself lying on the plush couch in the opulent hotel room. Her head throbbed with a dull ache, and a sense of weakness washed over her body. Confusion clouded her mind as she tried to piece together the fragments of her memory, struggling to understand what had transpired.
As the fog lifted, the events of the failed seduction and Marcus\'s unexpected display of power came rushing back to her. The realization of her failure to get him aroused and to bed stung, fueling a potent mix of fear, frustration, and anger within her. How had she underestimated him? How had her carefully crafted plan unraveled so quickly?
Her hand trembled as she reached for her phone, the weight of her thoughts heavy on her mind. The device slipped from her grasp once before she managed to secure it firmly in her palm. With a determined swipe of her finger, she dialed Marcus\'s number, her voice laced with desperation as he answered the call.
"Marcus," she spoke, her voice carrying an edge of vulnerability and frustration. "You can\'t just leave like that. I have valuable information that can lead you to Diana. Please, listen to me."
