Other than Blake, there were several other fighters in the villaâs hall, and outside the door, a large
group of black- clad individuals stood ready. Like Blake, they all thought Magnus would make a
decisive move this time.
As time became more pressing, if Magnus couldnât retrieve the Heart of the Sun to return to Zovince,
the successor of the Zelinsky family would be determined without him.
âYes, the grand hunt is officially starting! This time, I will reclaim everything!â Magnus didnât hide
anything from Blake, opening an electronic map and pushing up his glasses as he spoke, âSee the red
dot on the riverside road? Thatâs where youâll have your showdown with Emmanuel tonight. If you win,
thereâs the incomparably beautiful
Saintess as a reward. You must be excited, right?â
âHaha, Iâve tried all sorts of women; I wonder what it would be like with the Holy Fire organizationâs
Saintess.â Blake was indeed excited, licking his lips and saying, âBut Magnus, youâre really bold, daring
to exploit even the Saintess. Arenât you afraid of the consequences?â
Magnusâ eyes flickered as he responded, âIn this world, there are two types of indifferent people:
schemers, who are numb to the worldâs coldness as they see through it, and actors, who are heartless
as they perform every aspect of worldly emotions. And I am both!â
What? Unable to comprehend it, Blake cried out, âMagnus, can you speak in plain language? Come on!
Iâm an uncultured swine. Donât speak literature with me.â
Magnus just smiled and said nothing, waving his hand, beckoning. âLetâs go!â
This time, he was determined to completely wash away the previous disgrace. He also knew very well
that this might be his last chance. However, he had just stepped out of the gate when a familiar luxury
car convoy blocked their way.
Magnus furrowed his brow slightly. In the next moment, the door of the Rolls-Royce in the middle
opened, and, under the protection of the bodyguards, Hattie walked toward him with Dominique.
âMagnus!â
âHattie, why are you back?â Magnus quickly dispersed his frown, replacing it with a relaxed smile. He
didnât want Hattie to know what he was up to. But the young woman had already guessed it. Gently
holding his hand, she said, âMagnus, are you planning to steal the Heart of the Sun?â
âWhere did you hear that? Who told you?â Magnus immediately got angry, pointing at Blake and others.
âWas it you? Or you? Whoâs spreading these baseless rumors?â
Blake shrugged, his mouth quirked. The others behind him also bowed their heads in silence. As
servants of the Zelinsky family, they knew their place and wouldnât dare interject when the young sir
and young lady were chatting. The more they say, the more mistakes they make!
âMagnus, donât lie to me. Youâve gathered so many people. You must be planning to capture Emmanuel
and the others, right?â

Hattie not only guessed that Magnus intended to deal with Emmanuel but also seemed to have a good
grasp of
his strategy. Her brother definitely wanted to use double-crossing tactics.
He deliberately spent a lot of money to bribe the Holy Fire organization to attack the Terence Group,
making
everyone believe that the Holy Fire organization was attempting to seize the Heart of the Sun. Then,
when the Holy Fire organization successfully took the Heart of the Sun, he planned to eliminate them
and take away the artifact. That way, no one would know that the Heart of the Sun ended up in the
Zelinsky familyâs hands, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
Of course, the Holy Fire organization was not an honorable force. They might have accepted her
brotherâs paymenty but it wasnât certain that they genuinely intended to help him seize the Heart of the
Sun. Perhaps they were just looking to profit and deserved to be used by her brother.
âHattie, donât jump to conclusions! We are going out to handle something. You should take a break here
in
Yeringham. Iâll come find you later.â
Magnus was desperate to send Hattie away. He was getting restless. Missing tonight might mean he
would never have a chance to turn things around.
The Zelinsky family was just that cruel. No, in the world of true aristocrats, all were ruthless. There
were only those in power and those who were exiled.
âMagnus!â Hattie still held onto him tightly. Knowing that mere words wouldnât dissuade him, she quickly
signaled to Dominique, who beckoned, calling over a man whose physique, height, hairstyle, and even
glasses were almost identical to Magnus.
âHattie, what are you trying to do?â Magnus asked with some annoyance.
