“Am I just an emotionless robot to you? Marcus chuckled grabbing the cigarette Zavier passed to him
and lighting it up, taking two consecutive drags
He hadn’t smoked for a while, and now his throat was still a bit uncomfortable with the smoke “Is that
how you see me, or is that how all of you see me?” He asked “Not just us, the whole world sees you
like that Zavier replied, gazing up at the sky
The city was full of tall buildings, blocking out the stars, leaving only the street lights overhead “Mare,
that year you were just sixteen, or whatever age you were” Zavier
said

happened so many years ago. And in all these years, no one had dared to bring it up to his face, only
whispering behind his back.
Criticizing him for being heartless towards his own family, calling him cold blooded. Some even
suggested he might not be a real Hartley, hence his cold heartedness All sorts of insults were hurled
behind his back, but no one ever had the guts to say it to his face. utterly laughable
After puffing away a cigarette, Zavier lit up another, “You’re absolutely right, ruthlessness isn’t tied to
age. Marc, can you tell me how you managed to be so cold hearted
back then?
Marcus replied, “Which part do you want to hear?”
Zavier continued, “Back then, everyone saw you as just a kid not yet of age Nobody paid you any mind.
Yet you single–handedly pulled your father down from his high position. You brought him down, why did
you personally send him to jail too? That’s the part of the story I want to hear.”
They had known each other for years, and knew each other inside out. Zavier knew just how to hit
Marcus where it hurt with his words, making it hard for Marcus to breathe. But Zavier seemed
disappointed. There was no change in Marcus’s expression, as if that man and that incident could no
longer stir up any emotions within him
Was that really the case? Zavier didn’t believe it.
Marcus was a master at concealing his true feelings. Unless he wanted others to see, no one could
figure out what he was really thinking.

Marcus retorted with a cold laugh, “Do I need a reason to want to put him in jail?”
Such a ruthless reply. This time, Marcus was the clear victor, and Zavier was defeated
Zavier launched another attack, “From the day you personally sent your father to jail, the whole world
knew the name Marcus. From that day on, your name became synonymous with terror in the business
world. Everyone said you were a heartless robot, even towards your own family”
Despite Zavier’s heartbreaking words, Marcus still wore a smile, “A heartless robot, meaning I’m
incredibly tough. Thanks for the compliment, everyone!”
“You’re shameless!” Zavier sneered softly, “You’ve been working all these years, never letting up. Don’t
you have any regrets?”
Marcus replied. “I do.”
Zavier asked, “And what would that be?”
