âBoss, that woman Mackenzie is hosting a banquet tonight at the only hotel in town!â
As soon as they entered the town, Ayan Black quickly gathered intel.

âThat woman sure knows how to live the high life. Everywhere she goes, she enjoys nothing but the best. Such a bureaucrat! Tonight, weâll tie her up and deliver her to the Serpent King first!â
Mauve Protector clenched his fists, clearly displeased with Mackenzieâs airs and graces.
Ayan leaned closer to his ear and whispered, âIâve heard Mackenzie is quite the stunner. Rumor has it that sheâs accompanied by several beauties. If we capture them all⦠well, you know what I mean.â
The rest of his suggestion didnât need to be said out loudâthe implication was clear.
Mauve Protector chuckled darkly. âFine by me. The Serpent King only likes virgins anyway. If theyâre not, we can enjoy them ourselves. Letâs go!â
After sharing a few crude laughs, the group made their way toward the hotel.
Upon arrival, they didnât need to break in. Instead, Mauve Protector consumed a strange substance and exhaled a peculiar smoke that quickly rendered everyone in the hotel unconscious.
âMove in!â
Mauve Protector gestured for his men to follow him inside.
The hotel wasnât very tall. In the banquet hall, members of the Wolf Warrior Unit were already succumbing to the effects of the poison. Most had collapsed onto their dining tables before the Five Poison Sect even made their move.
Among others, even Mackenzie and Hattie swayed dizzily before slumping over.
âHey, whatâs going on with you guys? Canât hold your liquor? Hahaâ¦â
Quintus, noticing the people around him falling, initially thought they were drunk. But moments later, he also collapsed onto the table with a loud thud, his weight breaking the flimsy furniture beneath him.
âHaha!â
Mauve Protector strode in triumphantly, laughing as he surveyed the unconscious figures.
Ayan, standing behind him, praised loudly, âMauve Protector, you truly are the Serpent Kingâs finest! Your mastery of toxins is unmatched. Just one puff of that smoke, and so many are down for the count!â
Though the flattery was cliched, Mauve Protector lapped it up. He had unwavering confidence in his Seven Step Violet Venom and basked in the praise.
âBind Mackenzie for me!â
As he issued the order, his gaze landed on Mackenzieâs table, where several stunning women were slumped over. His eyes gleamed with greed.

Just as he was about to indulge in his sordid fantasies, a man in a crimson cloak abruptly raised his head.
With a swift motion, the man grabbed a Five Poison Set member who had tried to touch Mackenzie and snapped the manâs wrist with a loud crack.
âAhhh!â
Whatâs going on?!
The agonized scream left Mauve Protector and Ayan stunned.
Who is this man?
How is he unaffected by the poison?
âWhatâs wrong? Are you so startled by just one man escaping the poison? If thatâs the case, youâre going to be terrified by this.â
Magnus suddenly sat up, wearing a peculiar mask that partially concealed his face. His eyes gleamed with triumph.
âHâhow is this possible?â
Ayan turned to Mauve Protector in panic.
Mauve Protector didnât respond. His eyes widened in disbelief as more and more people started to rise. One after another, they raised their heads, each wearing the same strange mask.
This canât be real!
How can my Seven Step Violet Venom fail?
âMagnus, your equipment is impressive. You predicted Iâd leave you in the West End to deal with the Five Poison Sect and prepared for this in advance, didnât you?â Mackenzie spoke as she also sat upright.
The members of the Five Poison Sect were now utterly panicked. Some tried to flee the hotel, only to find. the exits blocked.
Without exception, every member of the Wolf Warrior Unit was equipped with a compact gas mask.
âA century ago, the Five Poison Sect ruled the West End with their mastery of toxins. But times have changed. With advances in technology and medicine, clinging to outdated methods will only lead to your downfall,â Magnus declared confidently.
He continued, âYour toxic smoke may be potent, but as long as it isnât inhaled, itâs harmless. Itâs a perfect example of why prevention is better than cureâa principle medical students always emphasize.â
Mackenzie couldnât help but give him a thumbsâup.
Even Rhett, who had long since donned the gas mask, gave Magnus a thumbsâup. If only he had this gear earlier when fighting the Great Four Envoys, he wouldnât have suffered such severe injuries.
Watching Magnus steal the spotlight, Laura leaned close to Claudette and whispered, âI have to admit, that guy can be kind of charming sometimes.â

Claudette admired Magnusâ foresightâhe hadnât taken a single step without planning several moves ahead. Admiration, however, wasnât the same as affection.
âHahahaâ¦â
Suddenly, Quintus leaped up and strolled toward Mauve Protector and his men. With a smug grin, he said, âItâs all thanks to my acting, isnât it? They definitely thought I was poisoned, too. Thatâs why they let their guard down and walked right into the trap!â
Mauve Protector trembled as he stammered, âAnd⦠who are you?â
Quintusâ confident expression froze. His voice faltered, and he fell silent.
Pfft!
The women tearby couldnât hold back their laughter.
The room erupted in mirth.
What should have been a perilous confrontation played out as effortlessly as a hero swatting away minor villains.
âCome on! You donât know,me? Iâm the one who burned down your base in Stonvale!â Quintus shouted as he launched a punch at Mauve Protector.
âQuintus, keep him alive!â
ackenzie quickly called out!
Luckily, she intervened just in time. Otherwise, that punch might have been Mauve Protectorâs end.
Mauve Protector blocked the strike but stumbled back several steps. Misjudging that Quintus had held back, he sneered coldly. âSo, youâre the general of this unit? Your strength is nothing extraordinary! Even if I werenât poisoned, you wouldnât be able to hold me here!â
âOh, really?â
Before his words could settle, a red flash streaked past. Rhett was already standing behind him.
How fast.
It was unbelievably fast.
His eyes widened in disbelief. Though he was an Sâlevel fighter, he instantly realized he was no match for Rhettâs speed and power.
Thud!
With a single swift hand chop, Rhett knocked him unconscious.
Quintus and the other Wolf Warrior elites charged forward, swiftly subduing the rest of the group. moments, all fortyâtwo men were captured alive.

Quintus quickly approached Mackenzie to report, âMackenzie, theyâre all capturedâfortyâtwo in total. Whatâs the next step?â
He hadnât expected to take prisoners this time. Previously, their numbers were too small to even attempt it, and if not for Libby guiding the way, they wouldnât have gotten this far.
âBind them all first. Then, wake up their leader somewhere secure. Iâll interrogate him myself!â Mackenzie issued her orders decisively.
