Marcus Kane's appearance was unsettling yet compelling. His presence emanated authority and intelligence, with his eyes revealing a mysterious motive. Victor, Lucian, and Isabelle stood cautiously, anticipating him to disclose his motives.
"What reason do we have to have faith in you?" Victor inquired with a tinge of doubt in his voice.
Marcus lifted one eyebrow. "Mr. Langston, I have the ability to reveal the truth about your adversaries." And since our current objectives are the same.
Victor made eye contact with Lucian, who gave a subtle nod. "Okay, Kane. "Say something."
Marcus grinned as he moved nearer. The device in your possession holds important data regarding a hidden group called The Consortium. They have been secretly controlling situations, and they are the ones focusing on you.
Victor's hold on the device grew firmer. "And where do you fit in with all of this?"
Marcus confessed that he used to be a member of The Consortium, looking serious. "However, I departed upon realizing their genuine motives." Now, my goal is to take them down. And I think you can offer assistance to me."
Lucian sneered. What reason do we have to trust anything you say?
Marcus made eye contact with Lucian in a steady manner. Mr. Blackwell, it is crucial for your existence. The Consortium views both of you as dangerous. They will go to any lengths to get rid of you.
Victor's thoughts raced quickly. Is Marcus trustworthy? Was he simply a pawn in a bigger scheme? He glanced at Isabelle, who gave a slight nod, clearly showing her trust in him.
"Finally," Victor said okay. We will collaborate. Make one mistake, and you're disqualified.
Marcus gave a slight nod, a small smile appearing on his mouth. Got it. Now, let's uncover the contents of that device and determine our challenge.
While they tried to access the gadget, Victor had a feeling of impending doom. The further they explored The Consortium's secrets, the riskier their quest would be. However, he was left with no option. The destiny of his relatives, his heritage, and the woman he was starting to feel attached to relied on it.
The device was ultimately decoded, exposing a wealth of information such as names, locations, and plans. While examining the data, Victor felt his heart drop. The Consortium had a broad scope, with elaborate and dangerous schemes.
Victor whispered, "This is even worse than I expected." "They can be found all over the place."
Marcus nodded in a somber manner. Certainly. "They will do whatever it takes to succeed."
While planning their future actions, Victor's feeling of urgency increased. Time was running short, and their foes were getting closer. However, he also experienced a glimmer of optimism. Combining Marcus's expertise, Lucian's wealth, and Isabelle's resolve, they could potentially succeed.
While getting ready to depart, Victor faced Isabelle with a serious look on his face. "Are you prepared for this?"
Isabelle nodded, her eyes gleaming with determination. Sure.
We will tackle whatever challenges come our way. Unitedly.
Victor gently pressed her hand, gaining courage from her resolute attitude. Stepping into the darkness to face The Consortium, he was certain that the fight had just started and there was no going back.
And lurking in the darkness, their adversaries observed, anticipating their next action.
