I demand that you immediately leave this town. If not, you'll pay a very heavy price." Marcus didn't flinch at the threat. He remained calm, his gaze sharp as he looked directly at Samuel. "I'm sorry, Mr. Bennett, but my family isn't going anywhere. We've done nothing wrong to deserve running away.
My daughters were merely defending themselves against your daughters' insults." Victoria Bennett stepped forward, her voice cold and full of arrogance. Mr. Carter, do you truly think you can stand against us? We have enough power to make your life a living hell. If you refuse to back down, what happens next will make you regret it for the rest of your life. Marcus looked at Victoria for a long moment before responding with a quiet smile full of a confidence and pride.
Ma'am, I've faced situations far more dangerous than this. Don't ever think I will submit to threats or the power of anyone. Samuel, feeling insulted by Marcus's firm stance, stepped closer with a furious expression. Losing his temper, he pointed a finger at Marcus nearly shouting, "You're challenging the wrong person, Carter. I won't let you or your family live in peace." In an instant, Samuel lunged forward intending to strike Marcus.
But Marcus, with the skill and training of a seasoned soldier, was ready. With an incredibly quick and precise movement, Marcus easily dodged Samuel's attack, grabbed his wrist, and gently but firmly controlled him. In the blink of an eye, Samuel Bennett was trapped, standing there in shock and humiliation. Victoria recoiled, her eyes wide with disbelief at the unexpected turn of events. Jada and Janelle stood behind their father watching it all unfold, a mix of pride and relief filling their hearts at their father's incredible strength.
Marcus held Samuel firmly, but his voice remained calm, clear, and authoritative. I don't want to hurt you, Bennett, but you crossed the line when you brought your threats to my home. This is the last warning. Never hurt or threaten my family again. Samuel gritted his teeth, his face turning red with anger and shame.
He struggled, but Marcus' resolve and skill left him no chance to break free. After a few tense seconds, Marcus slowly released Samuel, emphasizing that he had full control over the situation. Samuel staggered back, rubbing his sore wrist, glaring at Marcus with pure contempt. You'll regret this, Carter. Samuel hissed viciously.
