While the Purestream Club was in chaos, the Zelinsky Residence in Zone 2
remained calm and tranquil. Located just a stoneâs throw from the Congress
building, this place sat in the heart of Chanaea, the safest country in the
world. As a result, the Zelinsky Residence was one of the most secure
locations on Earth.
Shortly after Chiara left home, Maxwell entered a secluded courtyard
building.
The buildingâs doors were elegant sliding panels. A servant pushed them
open, revealing a softly lit interior filled with a serene, classical charm. The
atmosphere was refined, almost meditative.

Maxwell bowed deeply toward the middleâaged man sitting crossâlegged
inside.
Though over fifty, the manâs hair remained jetâblack with not a strand of gray
in sight. His eyes shone with sharp intelligence, his presence commanding
and dignified.
The Zelinsky family valued manners and tradition above all. Compared to his
younger brother Magnus, Maxwellâs manners and respect for etiquette were
impeccableâperhaps even excessive.
In the eyes of the Zelinsky elders, Maxwell had always been the obedient,
wellâbehaved child, while Magnus was the smart but wayward troublemaker.
Needless to say, elders preferred wellâmannered, compliant children over
clever ones. The smarter someone was, the more guarded others became
around them.

Naturally, Ezra had always favored Maxwell since the latter was a kid. If it
adr adnât been for Magnusâ extraordinary talents, he wouldnât have bothered
initiating a competition for the position of family heir. He would have simply
handed the mantle to Maxwell without question.
âMaxwell, do you know why I summoned you here?â
âI donât, Father.â
Maxwell gave a sheepish smile, scratching his head in mild embarrassment.
After all, everyone in the family knew he wasnât the sharpest tool in the shed.
But Ezra didnât mind. Like most parents, he had always poured extra attention
and affection into his âslowâ child.

âThe presidential election is just over a month away,â he began, gesturing for
Maxwell to take a seat. âThis is always the most dangerous time for us.â

âWhyâs that?â Maxwell quickly sat down, pouring tea for his father with utmost
care and respect.
âItâs the same as the competition between you and your brothers for the
family heir position. People are willing to die for power. Donât you think itâs
perfectly normal for a few people to lose their lives over something as
monumental as the presidential election?â Ezra said as if stating a simple
truth.

Maxwellâs face turned pale with shock. âFather, I really have no idea how my
younger brothers died! What does it have to do with the competition for the
family heirâs position? If any one of them were still alive, theyâd be far more
uited to be the family heir than I am!â
Ezra observed his sonâs seemingly innocent expression and spoke slowly.
âThen take it as a coincidenceâor perhaps destiny. Your brothers were all
smarter than you, but the Zelinsky family values bloodline above all. With you
as the heir, everyone can rest easy.â
âFather, I donât quite understand.â Maxwell kept up his usual foolish facade,
maintaining the image of the clueless son of a wealthy patriarch.
Ezra wasnât blind to the act. He knew his son had been playing this role his
entire life, but he preferred it this way. In families like theirs, survival often

required playing the foolâonly by pretending to be weak could one devour
the strong. The same was true in the upper echelons of society: those who
showed off, sought the spotlight, and flaunted their power often met untimely
nd inexplicable ends.
âIf you donât understand, then let me tell you tonight.â He rose to his feet,
turning his back to his son. He asked, âDo you know how I became the mayor
of Zovince?â
âOf course, itâs because youâre capable, Father! I could never manage an
entire city, let alone the nationâs capital!â Maxwell flattered his father, all while
highlighting his own shortcomings for emphasis.
âThatâs not it,â Ezra replied, surprisingly candid. âThere are plenty of men out
there far more capable than me. So why didnât they rise to power? Because

Maxwell tilted his head slightly, his expression one of feigned confusionâlike a
student struggling to understand a teacherâs lecture.
Ezraâs tone softened as he patiently explained, âIn the grand scheme of
things, Iâm merely a loyal servantâjust in my own way. Maxwell, you must
yone
remember this: if you want to live longer than everyone else and enjoy a life
of lasting wealth and power, you must remain eternally loyal to the Zelinsky
family.â
Maxwell nodded, halfâunderstanding but playing along.
Ezra continued, âIn my generation, I was the only son of the Zelinsky family to
survive. But the Zelinsky family has many relatives, and you have many

aunts. Most of them hold positions of power in Chanaea, including your aunt,
Catherine. They all share one common trait: their hearts belong to the
Zelinsky family.â
Maxwell nodded earnestly. âI understand now, Father. I promiseâI will remain
absolutely loyal to the Zelinsky family!â
âI trust you.â Ezra nodded slightly. âLoyalty is in the blood, and yours is 99
percent guaranteed. Your mother is a wealthy heiress tied to the Zelinsky
familyâsheâs spent her entire life listening to me. But your brothers? Their
mothers werenât the same.â

âDo you know why Magnus and his sister, despite being so brilliant, have no
lace in the Zelinsky family? Itâs because their bloodline isnât pure. Everyone
loyal to the Zelinsky family rejects them outright!â Ezra explained.
His tone sharpened as he emphasized, âThose who are not of our kind cannot
be trusted.â Then, with a colder edge, he continued, âFreyaâs ambitions were
de
grand. The more exceptional the children she left behind, the greater the
threat to our family.â
âI understand, Father.â Maxwell nodded again, even more convinced that his
role as the Zelinsky family heir was inevitable. With his father and so many
loyal elders backing him, even if he lay on a bed with his eyes closed, he
could defeat a genius like Magnus.

âHmm.â Ezraâs voice softened as he shifted topics. âSomethingâs happening
over at the Purestream Club, isnât it?â
yes,â
Yes,â Maxwell replied. âItâs probably Magnusâ doing. I canât predict how itâll play
out, nor can I strategize around it, but I know his ultimate goalâhe wants me
dead.â
For once, he dropped the pretense of foolishness. There were moments when
he needed to show his worth.
âGood.â Ezra nodded approvingly. âMany things in life are complicated, but
you only need to focus on the core issue. The long, tangled processes in
between? Ignore them,â he said, reiterating his point.
To him, Maxwell was the only true heirâthe only one worthy of carrying the
Zelinsky familyâs legacy.

âThank you for your guidance, Father.â Maxwell bowed deeply, his gratitude so
genuine that tears glistened in his eyes.
After tonightâs matter, go register for the Zovince council elections. Politics is
all about winning hearts and securing votes. With the Zelinsky familyâs
backing, combined with support from those privileged young heirs
humiliated by Emmanuel, youâll quickly take over my position. Even your aunt
is paving the way for you,â Ezra said.
He added one final reminder. âDonât get too attached to Chiara. Sheâs just a
pawn to help you achieve greater things. In due time, Iâll arrange for you to
marry someone elseâsomeone loyal to the Zelinsky family. Train those who
will serve you in secret, and choose wisely among them.â
