Escort the Arc teams as planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team Omega, split up, take care of the enemies indoors and aid in clearing the path outside for the rest to leave safely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Move!

How dare you get distracted when fighting with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~Swish! Swish! Swish!~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus’s attacks grew even fiercer as he felt that he had been looked down on instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His moves were so terrifying that Killian had cold sweat when the blade swept across the air just a few inches away from his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the guns in his hands, his enemy gave him no time to even point the gun straight for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just within these short seconds, his guns had almost been kicked away by Marcus twice now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus seemed extremely good at close-range attacks, as his blades kept sleeping crazily about the air in all sorts of directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those within the Omega team who were about to leave couldn’t help contemplating on aiding Killian to take down Marcus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Captain, do you need help?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go! Go! Get going now!\" Killian said before rolling to the side and avoiding the dagger that had now firmly planted itself into the wooden floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded and hastily rushed out to take care of the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, they would no doubt be surrounded and outnumbered by too many enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they could spend time here dilly-dallying about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had to get the Arcadinians safely in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, everyone deserted the hallway, scattering in different directions, leaving Killian behind and killing those in their path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Killian, of course he had to subdue Marcus somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, Marcus seemed to be an essential member of the T.O.E.P.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Killian didn’t want to shoot him and risk excess blood lost through this stormy night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Believe it or not, a stab wound was more manageable than a bullet wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The medic teams were still outside the city now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he decided to only stab or knockout Marcus before binding him together and staying guard beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could request for backup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everyone else was extremely busy as they had no idea the actual number of enemies were within the city and had their own individual missions to carry out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he would be all alone here for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killian secretly nodded while looking intensely at Marcus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought it all through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killian was a ranked Captain, and of course had many other ranks and people more powerful than he was within the Baymardian Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning he still had a lot of growth in terms of battle strength and whatnot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when fighting Marcus, he realized that Marcus was actually more brutal and faster than he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if Marcus was going to win, he had to use his best moves, as well as his quick thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden floor shattered as Killian once again rolled to his left hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Killian had long placed his guns away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus looked at him arrogantly and sneered: \"Dodge! Dodge! That’s all you low-life now how to do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~Thang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dagger plunged deep into the wooden floors again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every time he blinked, he seemed like his opponent had already launched another attack at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So for a moment, he became a spider, jumping and leaping around the place in all sorts of manners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dammit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His opponent was a hard one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus squinted his eyes coldly and kept throwing all 17 daggers on his body, making Killian dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~Thup! Thup! Thup! Thup!~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood trickled across Killian’s left arm as a blade brutally whistled through the air, only slicing the corner of his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t dodge in time, it would’ve been his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body quivered from shock, as the pressure from his opponent gave off was now greater than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he couldn’t shake Marcus off, he would no doubt die here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killian looked up and saw a swinging fist coming straight for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with locked focus, he gritted his teeth and quickly drilled to the ground, doing a swinging feet motion, intending to clear his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Marcus was faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment his legs were cleared, he leaned back and used his hands to cartwheel to the back severally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Killian in shock, not believing that the guy would be able to touch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh. In all his life, when he was out in Pyno, none of his opponents could ever get touch, even his clothes during battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But yet, this guy had managed to sweep him off his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right. Marcus had to admit that the guy had some potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he thought that was enough to take him down, then think again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus stood on the other side of the hallway calmly: \"I must say... I quite enjoy this little battle of ours. But now, I’m about to get serious with you. That said, I would like to know your name. At least, I’ll honour you by telling your name to many when I retell the tale of how a lowly Pyno beggar managed to touch me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killian, who was breathing heavily at the side, suddenly doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in this guy’s mind, it was an honour to be remembered as such? And who the hell was he calling a beggar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch! He had heard about the arrogance of these Morgs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in all honesty, he had never fought a Morg before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was actually his first serious mission as a newly titled Army Captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes. It wasn’t long ago that he got promoted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as one might know, the Army had well informed several people of their T.O.E.P group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was military information that was studied detailly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Language and Spy Accent classes were also given out by the professionals studying how the Morgs, Pirates and other prisoners in the Prison spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Whitebeard’s accents to Canibal pirate Morgs, captured T.O.E.P Morgs, and even those from Veinitta like Prince Skye... Professionals studied then all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Infiltration in the future would be the key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, this was the only way he knew that Marcus was a Morg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The accent was so heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like back on earth where one could recognize a British accent from a North American one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he knew that Baron Cain was getting help from the Morgs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the moment Marcus indirectly confirmed his suspicions as a T.O.E.P member, everything made even more sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, feeling Marcus’ pressure, he knew that he was no match for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus just said he was about to get serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So did it mean that all this time, he had been lax?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Killian felt like he was genuinely knocking on death’s doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he suddenly laughed out crazily, Marcus just looked at him like a crazed person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahhahahahahhaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Have you realized that your death is near and have now decided to accept reality?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killian, who had been laughing his lungs out, suddenly smiled broadly at Marcus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know... I just realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the routines I’ve faced during other missions have always been somewhat smoother because I didn’t meet people like you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or, maybe it’s because I still have a lot of improvements to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was always a second option that I kept forgetting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the distance between us now, I finally realized that I still had this option to use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~Peeu! Peeu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Silence-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus’s eyes widened in horror as his hands subconsciously reached for his ċhėst in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You! You! You!...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus couldn’t believe it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sadly, reality always slapped people hard in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in not more than 3 seconds, he fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~Plop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killian looked at the fallen Marcus coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Second option.
