00:02We haven't had a meal together since signing the divorce papers.
00:06Just as I was about to make up an excuse, Wilbur arrived.
00:09My choice is Nadia. Touch her and you'll regret it.
00:13As for Maren, she's meaningless to me.
00:17Her blood type is rare. One more transfusion could kill her.
00:23Thank you, Maren. I'll love you forever.
00:27I gave my blood repeatedly.
00:30Even when doctors warned I might not survive,
00:32I watched Nadia burst into tears and fall into Wilbur's arms as he wiped her tears.
00:37Who'd have guessed the Morgan family would dump their legitimate daughter just to protect an illegitimate one?
00:42Patience, boys. Everyone gets a turn.
00:47With a sudden burst of courage, I raised my head and rushed toward the wall, trying to break free.
00:52But before I could get close to the wall, the lead kidnapper noticed and grabbed a handful of my hair,
00:56yanking me back violently.
00:58A fierce stinging slap landed hard on my face, the pain spreading across my cheeks instantly.
01:03The brutal impact made me dizzy, and I soon lost consciousness, falling into darkness.
01:08The kidnappers laughed crudely, reaching out eagerly to tear my clothes, their malicious intentions obvious.
01:14Just as their hands were about to tear my clothes, I suddenly opened my eyes, all weakness gone.
01:19I swung my bound wrists around the throat of the nearest kidnapper, locking it tightly.
01:24Using the momentum of my flip, I twisted his neck sharply and decisively, ending his life instantly.
01:29The immediate threat was neutralized, but I stood there frowning, filled with confusion.
01:33These movements were familiar, yet forgotten, as if they were deeply etched in my bones but had been hidden for
01:38a long time.
01:39Maren, you cursed woman, what in the world are you up to?
01:45An angry male voice broke my thoughts.
01:47I turned to face him, ready for whatever came.
01:50The Maren you knew...
01:52is dead.
01:55I am the sole heiress of Sovereign Underworld.
02:03Wilbur, Nadia, and the three Morgan brothers were completely stunned by what they saw.
02:09They couldn't believe it was real, they couldn't understand how I did it.
02:12In their eyes, I had always been weak, clumsy, and unable to do even the simplest things.
02:17Maren, you arranged this kidnapping.
02:19Here I was, thinking you had finally seen the error of your ways.
02:21I was ready to let you face a bit of hardship before I intervened, but you're still playing the same
02:25old games.
02:26Do you like me that much?
02:27To the extent that you'd involve Nadia in your schemes?
02:29Right in front of everyone?
02:33Maren, do you despise me so deeply?
02:35Really? I never aim to rival you.
02:37If my presence is too much, I'm willing to leave.
02:41I'll even transfer all my research achievements to you if you feel I'm blocking your path.
02:47You've lost your last opportunity.
02:49You really are ungrateful.
02:52One of my brothers called me a cruel disgrace to the Morgan family.
03:00My father quickly brought back Nadia, the secret child he'd hidden for years.
03:05When I came back, I'd lost all my memories of the underworld.
03:09She ruined my reputation in front of Wilbur and my brothers.
03:12Completely.
03:15But I remembered everything, in the four horrible years in the underworld.
03:20Those years killed all my feelings for Wilbur.
03:23My heart was empty.
03:24Thinking about all their betrayals, something inside me finally snapped.
03:31Leaving my heart empty, throughout the last two years, for Nadia's benefit, Wilbur had shown nothing but cruelty towards me.
03:43So, this is an act?
03:45I'm a disgrace?
03:46I walked slowly toward Wilbur and my brothers.
03:50I moved faster than they could see and struck Wilbur across the face.
03:56Everyone was shocked into silence, their eyes wide with disbelief.
04:03I slapped Wilbur without hesitation, and the unexpected action left my three brothers and Nadia utterly stunned.
04:09They couldn't believe I'd slapped Wilbur, wondering if I'd really give up on the man I'd love for years.
04:14Wilbur, the esteemed young heir of the Thorpe family, had never been slapped in his life.
04:18Have you lost your senses, Marin?
04:19You dare to hit me in front of an audience?
04:22I stand among my peers as esteemed young heir of Thorpe family.
04:26Never before have I experienced physical confrontation.
04:30I'm not sorry.
04:32Consider that slap-a-gentle reprimand for your disrespect.
04:35You're fortunate, that's all it was.
04:37Also, consider our engagement over.
04:39I am ending it.
04:41From this point forward, we have nothing to do with each other.
04:43Wilbur was utterly shocked by my decision.
04:47Before passing away, your grandfather bequeathed 50% of shares of our family business, now transformed to Morgan Group.
04:53For you, set to be yours when you come of age.
04:57Thank you, Marin.
04:58Marin, your generosity saved us from financial strife.
05:01Marin, this is too much!
05:02Dad and rest of us have poured our sweat into the family, just like you!
05:06Those shares you gave to Thorpe family, along with everything else, were never solely yours to claim!
05:10Really, Marin?
05:11How can you be so cold and greedy?
05:13We are your family, after all!
05:15What's this about calling off the engagement and taking back the shares?
05:18Give us a clear explanation before you go!
05:26Wilbur, you have exceptional potential. Under my mentorship, you'll become Formidable Combat Master.
05:34Wilbur's eyes are wide with shock and fear.
05:38Wilbur, you were no ordinary opponent. You were recognized as Formidable Combat Master, personally mentored by Beau Francis.
05:44Yet, here you are, bested with little effort by me, who had always been underestimated as frail and ineffective.
05:50How could this be? Because I am who I truly am.
05:53Your perception of me was wrong from the beginning.
05:55How could she change so drastically in such a short time?
05:57Marin, she was always underestimated as frail and ineffective, but she just bested Wilbur with little effort!
06:03Now that my memories are restored, I have far more significant issues to address.
06:07It is time to confront traitors.
06:11Keep your distance. Lay a hand on me again, and you'll regret it.
06:16After I left, Nadia immediately stepped forward to comfort Wilbur, and even deliberately provoke.
06:22Marin really crossed the line this time.
06:24To think she'd resort to a surprise attack just to catch your eye.
06:29Hmm, that cursed woman used underhanded methods.
06:33It's the only explanation for why my arm went numb.
06:37Not bothering to pay attention to their farce anymore, I walked straight into an internet cafe.
06:42I looked around, confirmed there was no abnormality, and sat down in a corner seat.
06:49After successfully logging into his secure website, I sent a message to Blue Falcon immediately, telling him I was still
06:55alive.
06:56Marin, is that really you?
06:58Are you still alive?
07:00Yes, I'm alive. Tell me what's happening in the Sovereign Underworld.
07:04What happened to you these last two years?
07:06There was an internal conflict in Sovereign Underworld.
07:09We looked everywhere but couldn't find you.
07:11We feared you were dead.
07:12Your once allies, Viper, and Stormclaw had met grim fates.
07:17Some were dead, others fled.
07:20Stormclaw had managed to escape from the Sovereign Underworld and was now hiding in a military academy.
07:24And then there was Aayla Walt.
07:26She was held captive by the new rulers of the Sovereign Underworld, subjected to relentless torment through countless barbaric methods,
07:33wishing for death.
07:35I need to find Stormclaw first.
07:37He can help me take back what's mine.
07:41I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.
07:45Now was not the time to be angry.
07:47I had to find Stormclaw first, only he could help me take back what belonged to me, rescue Aayla, and
07:52punish those traitors.
07:59Just as I resolved to take back everything, the scene cut to the airport.
08:03A mysterious man in a black windbreaker landed at Vyamsa Airport.
08:07Tall and stern, he was no ordinary man.
08:27The subordinate immediately took out the documents and reported to him respectfully.
08:31This time, they were certain that person was me.
08:34Marin, I've finally found you.
08:37This time, you won't slip away from me again.
