Chapter 2049

“These so–called pieces of evidence might be enough to nail an ordinary

suspect, but to take down your brother and Lannister? I’m afraid it’s still far

from enough,” Emmanuel said with a slight smirk, holding up the phone.

“If I planned to rely on the police and the law to take down Maxwell, I’d have

died a hundred times by now. I would never be able to defeat him in this

lifetime,” Magnus replied with a disdainful smile. “Cops need solid evidence to

make a case, but you don’t, do you?”

“You’re right. I believe Maxwell was behind this,” Emmanuel nodded. “So,

what’s your angle? You want to use me to kill Maxwell?”

Magnus chuckled. “When dealing with someone as sharp as you, there’s no

point in pretending, nor could I even if I tried. It’s better to be upfront. Taking

out Maxwell benefits you, too, doesn’t it?”

“What makes you say that?” Emmanuel asked, straight to the point. “Maxwell

yied to kill my apprentice. Neither I nor the Chapman family will let that slide,

but taking down Maxwell would bring a mountain of trouble from the Zelinsky

family,”

“With my help, you won’t have any trouble at all,” Magnus said confidently. “All

I need is your strength.”

“You hate Maxwell that much? From what I know of the Zelinsky family’s

history, even if he dies, you might not end up in control of the family,”

Emmanuel pointed out.

“The grudge I have against Maxwell is one that can never be forgiven,”

Magnus‘ smile vanished, replaced by a cold, vicious look in his eyes. “There

were four male heirs in the Zelinsky family, but now only Maxwell and I

remain. My mother had a strained relationship with the family, and we were

olated. After she left, it was just Hattie and me stuck in that house. If it

weren’t for our quick thinking and a bit of luck, Maxwell would have killed us

long ago,

“That man hides behind a sheep’s smile but is more vicious than any wolf.

Look here!” Magnus said, lifting his shirt to reveal a gruesome scar.

“Maxwell once tried to kill me the same way he went after Nathan. I was just

eleven, fresh out of elementary school, and he set up a ‘runaway tiger‘ from

the zoo near my campsite, nearly getting me killed. I won’t even start on the

other incidents. Hattie’s suffered at his hands, too, as well as from other

members of the family.

“If I hadn’t intentionally drawn attention to myself and made waves among

Zovince’s elite, I might have quietly disappeared as well. Because of my

background, defeating Maxwell openly within the family is impossible. But I’ll

ever

let someone like him keep getting away with everything he’s done.”

Magnus‘ candid words struck a chord with Emmanuel, who wasn’t used to

hearing such heartfelt confessions from him. Still, it wasn’t a bad feeling.

“Fine. You set it up. I trust your ability to predict the right time and place to

take down Maxwell,” Emmanuel agreed. “But if it’s not the right moment, I

won’t act.”

“Thank you,” Magnus replied calmly, expressing his gratitude without any

excess emotion before driving away. For him, other than lacking physical

strength, everything else was child’s play.

Emmanuel headed to a private club, rented a room, and started a video call

with Mackenzie. She was dressed sharply, almost exuding the presence of a

female commander.

“Why are you dressed like that, Mackenzie?” Emmanuel couldn’t help but feel

worried when he saw her in full gear. He spoke up nervously, “Didn’t we agree

that you’d only take on a nominal leadership role and leave the fighting and

raids to others?”

“Look at you, getting all worked up,” Mackenzie chuckled lightly. “I’m just

dressed like this for show. I’m not planning to step onto the battlefield. I’m the

side. You have nothing to worry about.”

Good, as long as that’s all it is. So, what’s the situation on your end?”

Emmanuel asked, noticing the cityscape in the background of her video. It

reassured him that she hadn’t yet left for the raid.

I’ve been gathering and organizing intel these past few days, working on

strategies, Mackenzie explained. “The West End police have tried to deal with

the Five Poison Sect before, but they’ve failed time and time again. If we send

the military in, the sect retreats to the disputed border areas, and the military

doesn’t want to provoke an international conflict. So, we need an effective

plan before taking any action.”

Emmanuel nodded and asked, “Have you come up with one?”

“It’s a bit out of my depth,” Mackenzie admitted with a wry smile. “I’m just a

businesswoman. I don’t know martial arts, and I’ve never been in a battle.

Now I’m being forced into a fight, so I’ll just have to adapt and make the most

the advice from others.”

“I have faith in you,” Emmanuel reassured her. “But promise me this: no

matter what happens, you won’t go to the front lines.”

“I won’t. Promise,” Mackenzie responded with playful exasperation. “Since

when did you become so nagging? You’ve repeated that a dozen times!”

Emmanuel smiled wryly, unsure when he had turned into such a worrywart.

“Don’t worry. We’ve gathered forces from all over the West End, around two to

“Why are you laughing, hon?” Emmanuel asked, puzzled but amused by her

“Nothing,” Mackenzie said with a smile. “I just realized you’re treating me like a

baby. Don’t forget, when we first got married, I was the one teaching you how

to get things done!”

president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce and not used to being

taken care of, the feeling of being cherished by Emmanuel made her feel a

deep, indescribable happiness. Choosing to marry this earnest man had

been the best decision of her life.

“Thank you, Mackenzie,” Emmanuel suddenly said with deep affection. “I’m so

lucky to have you. I’ll make sure to live a long life, taking care of you and

Caden forever.”
