Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 2057
Meanwhile, in an ordinary, unremarkable meeting hall in Zone 8 of Zovince,
Gautier was deep in conversation with Levi.
âYouâre truly something, Gautier! Hank is already on his way to confront
Emmanuel. Thereâs bound to be a conflict this time!â Levi said with a toast to
Gautier, though his tone lacked enthusiasm. After all, stirring up trouble like
this wasnât exactly a grand scheme.
Gautier clinked his glass with Leviâs, smiling as he said, âI actually asked for us
to meet here today because I need two favors.â
âDo you? What is it?â Levi responded politely but made no promises to fulfill
them.

âIâd like to borrow a few skilled men from you. I have someone I need to kill
tonight,â Gautier said with an air of significance.
And who would that be?â Leviâs eyes showed a flicker of curiosity.
Gautier glanced around cautiously before leaning in close and whispering a
name into Leviâs ear.
âWhat?!â Levi was startled, his expression shifting dramatically. âGautier, this is
absolutely out of the question! Killing him would bring a storm of trouble!
Besides, his martial skills are formidable, and with the Four Great Envoys
currently off in the West End on other assignments, thereâs no one available
who could take him down.â
Gautier, as if expecting this reaction, smiled calmly and said, âDonât worry, no
one will know it was us. If we donât have the guts to handle this, I may as well

resign. I wouldnât be suited to being Mr. Tannerâs assistant anymore.â
âThisâ¦â Levi hesitated, clearly torn, before finally sighing in resignation. âAlright,
Ifigure something out. Mr. Tanner has high hopes for you. You should take
your duties seriouslyâhe plans to officially announce you as his assistant
next week.â
âThank you, Mr. Lestrange!â Gautierâs smile widened, already having
anticipated Leviâs agreement. He then smoothly continued, âThe second
matter I wanted to discuss is related to what you just mentioned.â
âDo tell,â Levi said, now even more intrigued by Gautier. He saw this young
man as a promising talent, watching him rapidly grow with each step. In
Leviâs eyes, Gautier could one day become a towering figure like Teddy
himself.

âWith your influence and connections, I imagine it wouldnât be difficult for you
to suppress an outside company like Terence Groupâs branch, would it?â
Gautier asked, his tone turning cold.
âWhat?â Levi was taken aback. âArenât you managing that company? Why
would you want me to go after it?â
Gautierâs expression was resolute as he explained, âEmmanuel still doesnât
trust me. If it werenât for Mackenzieâs desire to use me, heâd have killed me by
now. If something doesnât happen soon, I wonât earn his trust. And without
value, heâll certainly eliminate me.â

Levi nodded slowly, understanding the dangerous game Gautier was playing.
âYouâre constantly walking a tightrope with your life at stake, Gautier, I truly
admire your courage.â
Gautier shrugged nonchalantly. âIâm just doing whatâs necessary for Mr.
Tanner, ensuring Chanaea is managed properly.â
âVery well, then. You handle these matters however you see fit. I trust you,
and whatever support you need from me, Iâll provide,â Levi agreed readily this
time.
âThank you!â Gautier flashed a charming smile, more alluring than the wine in
his glass, though far deeper and more calculating.
Truth be told, Levi couldnât fully grasp Gautierâs true nature, but he was

captivated by him, much like one might be by an aged, fine wine with a
complexity that draws one in with every sip.
After Levi left, Gautier remained in the meeting hall, drinking alone for a while
before finally deciding to leave. Just as he stepped outside, a familiar voice
called out behind him, âGautier, so youâve come to Zovince after all!â
Gautier turned around, surprised for a moment when he saw the unfamiliar
man in front of him. However, he quickly realized who it was and smiled. âI
should have known it was you. I knew Emmanuel wouldnât have been able to
kill you so easily!â
âCare to grab a drink? Your treat!â the stranger said, pushing up his glasses
with a grin. âIâm a bit short on cash at the moment.â

âNo problem!â Gautier agreed without hesitation. âI knew youâd make a
comeback eventually. Iâll keep this one on your tab, Mr. Zelinsky!
la haâ¦â Magnus laughed heartily, âYouâve always been my smartest friend.
Letâs go!â
The two of them went back into the meeting hall and ordered two bottles of
aged liquor.
âSo, Mr. Magnus, what brings you to me?â Gautier asked directly.
âI was hoping we could catch up first, but since youâre in such a hurry, Iâll get
to the point,â Magnus said, leaning back and adjusting his glasses. âWe were
once close friends, right?â

âWe were,â Gautier replied straightforwardly. âWe still are. And in the future-
âIn the future, who knows,â Magnus cut him off. âIâve always believed that true
iends arenât necessarily people who share the same hobbies or ideals, but
they do share the same goals and interests.â
Gautier nodded in agreement.

Magnus continued, âWe used to share a common enemyâEmmanuel. But
thatâs no longer the case. Emmanuel has no reason to kill me, and I have no
reason to kill him. You, on the other hand, still want to take him out to help

Teddy. And Emmanuel certainly wants you dead,â
é¡
âSo, whatâs your point?â Gautier, knowing how clever Magnus was, didnât
other playing games and asked directly, âAre you suggesting youâre going to
become friends with Emmanuel? Isnât that a bit ridiculous?â
âIt is a little ridiculous,â Magnus admitted with a chuckle as he took a sip of his
drink. Setting his glass down, he explained, âBut you know meâIâve only ever
been focused on protecting my sister. Sheâs my only remaining family. My
true enemy is Maxwell Zelinsky, the man whoâs been trying to kill me and my
sister our entire lives. I plan to stand with Emmanuel and take down Maxwell
Then Iâll take control of the Zelinsky family.â
âI see,â Gautier nodded, saying nothing more.

Magnus, however, pressed on. âThe way things are heading, thereâs a good
chance weâll end up as enemies
Magnus said the word âenemies,â he locked eyes with Gautier through his
glasses. The lenses seemed to create a distance between them, making the
space between them feel larger than it was.
Gautier suddenly laughed. âSo youâve come here to convince me to team up
with you and Emmanuel, to take down Maxwell, help you take over the
Zelinsky family, and ensure Ethan Hunt wins the election, right?â
âYou donât think thatâs a good idea?â Magnus smiled, asking in return.
Gautierâs smile darkened, becoming more bitter. âSo, my father died for
nothing? So I should just stand by and watch while Emmanuel takes the

woman I love? And Iâm supposed to silently wish them a happy life together?â
Magnus fell silent.
Gautier realized he had let his emotions get the better of him and quickly
reined them in. He knew Magnus too wellâwhat he could hide from others, he
couldnât hide from him.
Magnus picked up his glass, drained the remaining liquor in one gulp, and
stood up. âAlright, I think thatâs enough talking for today. Hopefully, weâll have
another chance to drink together in the future.â
Gautier smiled slightly, replying, âThere are no permanent friends or enemies.
Iâm sure there will be another chance.â
