Chapter 2113

Emmanuel and Blake arrived at the back gate they escaped the Zelinsky

residence, only to find that Mia was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing how tense Emmanuel was, Blake couldn’t resist teasing him.

“Emmanuel, why are you so worried about that young woman? Would you be

this concerned if it were me in her place?”

“Do you want to know the truth?” Surprisingly, Emmanuel had the mood to

jøke back.

“Of course I do! Why listen to lies?” Blake said eagerly.

Emmanuel replied bluntly, “No, I wouldn’t. While I don’t exactly want you dead

either, I’m a bit more sentimental about delicate young women. If they fall,

Blake immediately tried to blackmail him. “D*mn it! Just you wait! I’ll tell your

ife exactly what you said when I see her, word for word! Unless you teach

me the Northern Region’s Reverse Dragon Palm!”

Emmanuel merely gave him a dismissive smile, not bothering to reply, and

continued searching the area.

“What does that smile mean? Do you think I’m no threat? I can’t believe you’re

looking down on me like this!” Blake continued shouting indignantly.

“Stop shouting and let’s go.” Finally, Emmanuel decided it was time to leave.

Since the Zelinsky family’s guards were aware of how much Mia’s music had

helped Emmanuel, they would likely send experts after her first.

Emmanuel believed Mia wouldn’t be captured so easily with her being a

escendant of the Music Saint and with Magnus coordinating behind the

scenes.

As expected, Emmanuel called Magnus once he left Zone 2 to report what

had happened at the Zelinsky residence.

Magnus replied, “Rest assured, Mia left long ago. Her capabilities are far

greater than we imagined.”

Hearing this, Emmanuel felt reassured and continued, “Maxwell is already

dead in the Zelinsky residence. I’ve fulfilled my promise to you so we’re even

now.”

Magnus chuckled. “Fair enough. If I holp your wife wipe out the Five Poison

Sect, will that be a favor you owe me, or should your wife repay it?”

Curious, Emmanuel asked, “Are you familiar with the Five Poison Sect? You’re

so confident about this.”

Magnus replied proudly, “I must have confidence if I’m taking it on! Here’s the

deal. I’ll help your wife eliminate the Five Poison Sect, and you help me

become the Zelinsky family’s young master. That way, I might even have the

leverage to support Ethan!”

Hearing this, Emmanuel grew intrigued. “Magnus, it seems you really hate the

Zelinsky family. You always aim to oppose them in whatever they intend to

do.”

Magnus let out a cold laugh. “What would you do if you grew up in a biased

family where no matter what you did or how excellent your achievements

were, you were always denied by your elders? They even supported your

mortal enemy in bullying and suppressing you and targeting your beloved

sister.”

Emmanuel immediately responded, “That kind of bias is truly disgusting!

Listening to this, it seems I really have no choice but to help you. We now

have shared interests, and an alliance is the best option!”

Magnus smiled. “True, but working with a former nemesis does feel strange.”

Emmanuel replied coldly, “Agreed, but it’s not a bad feeling either. A man

must have visions. When the major tasks are done, we’ll settle our personal

grudges later.”

Although Emmanuel couldn’t completely trust Magnus, he had to admit that

his help could accomplish many things more efficiently.

“This is exactly what I’m thinking,” Magnus said with a smirk as he hung up.

Hattie approached behind him, visibly excited. “Magnus, has your plan

succeeded?”

The dislike for Maxwell wasn’t limited to Magnus–Hattie also deeply resented

the man.

She had suffered multiple violations at his hands and had nearly lost Aerle

Group to him. Naturally, she wished for nothing more than his demise.

“If I couldn’t take down Maxwell with Emmanuel, Veronica, and Mia helping

ne, wouldn’t my title as Magnus the Genius be nothing but an empty boast?”

Magnus said with pride.

“Magnus, we’ve finally avenged ourselves!” Hattie clenched her delicate fists,

her face beaming with relief.

Magnus exhaled deeply. “While my plan succeeded, I still can’t be certain that

the true Maxwell is dead with both Maxwell’s stand–ins dead.”

“What?” Hattie froze, disbelief evident in her expression.

new how to use stand–ins. One of the deceased must be Maxwell if Chiara

were assisting him tonight. However, the true Maxwell would surely still be

alive if Father was also helping him!”

Hattie couldn’t help but sigh, thinking of their father. He was the shadowy yet

immensely powerful governor of Zovince.

She had been proud of her father as a child, and Magnus had even aspired

to surpass him.

However, their father had always favored Maxwell. Their father never truly

celebrated their successes, no matter how brilliant or accomplished the

siblings were.

When Hattie was younger, she thought they hadn’t done well enough. It

asn’t until she fell gravely ill and lay bedridden, ignored by the Zelinsky

family, and their father sought ways to seize control of her hard–earned

business empire, that she realized the truth.

Her father had never regarded her as his true daughter.

As a child, she couldn’t understand why. She and Maxwell were both his

biological children, so why was there such blatant favoritism?

As she grew up, she finally understood that it all boiled down to bloodlines

and fundamental interests.

The reason behind this was because their mother came from a faction

opposed to the Zelinsky family, with conflicting beliefs and interests.

Being Freya’s children, they had loved their mother dearly as children.

ecause of that, the Zelinsky family had always regarded them as demons

born to devour the family.

They even see them as a pair of young devils destined to consume the

Zelinsky family from within.

Because of this, they were doomed to remain outcasts in the Zelinsky family,

the anomalies within the clan.

Magnus gently patted her shoulder with a smile. “Don’t worry, Hattie. Magnus

won’t be able to show his face for a while, even if he isn’t dead. Besides, we’ve

already disrupted his path into politics!

“It’ll be hard for him to truly succeed Father, and take over the Zelinsky family

as long as he doesn’t gain power. We still have a chance!”

Hattie nodded, smiling. “I believe victory will belong to you, Magnus. I’ll fight

alongside you to the very end!”

Magnus nodded. “Moreover, we’ll need help from Emmanuel and his wife to

achieve that goal. Did they take the bait?”

Hattie’s beautiful smile carried a hint of pride. “Yes! After the allied forces

disbanded and returned to Silvergate, I had people pose as merchants

agnus immediately said, “Good! Now inform Mackenzie to send people to

follow those bandits!”

Hattie nodded and quickly joined Magnus in finding Mackenzie.

“Right now? Why?” Mackenzie seemed puzzled by Magnus‘ intention.

With a smug grin, Magnus explained, “According to my research, these

mountain bandits aren’t members of the Five Poison Sect–they’re merely

their lackeys. The Five Poison Sect won’t go to war with us even if we

completely wipe them out!
