An Unexpected Apology: Marco's Grace

Marco arrived at the clan's main gate, ready to embark on his mission to investigate the enigmatic Crimson Tower. As he approached, he noticed two familiar figures waiting nearby—Evan and Livia Sunfire.

Evan smirked and exchanged a knowing glance with his sister, Livia. They both approached Marco with a mocking tone in their voices. "Well, well, look who's going on a mission to the Crimson Tower," Evan said with a sly grin.

Livia chimed in, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Marco, aren't you a bit out of your league? Going on a mission like this, it's almost comical."

Marco, who had endured their mockery many times before, remained composed and unfazed. He met their taunts with a calm demeanor and a faint smile. "Evan, Livia, good to see you both. Yes, I am heading to the Crimson Tower. The clan entrusted me with this mission."

Evan chuckled mockingly. "Oh, the clan entrusted you? What a surprise. Did they run out of other options?"
