“Now that Claudette is dead, I need to obtain the Heart of the Sun. You’ll only have a chance to survive by relying on its power!”
Magnus truly despised Emmanuel for interfering with his plans!
Claudette wouldn’t have left his side if it weren’t for that man.
Claudette also wouldn’t have fallen off the cliff if it weren’t for that man.
He never intended to kill Claudette that night. Instead, he was only using her as leverage against Emmanuel.
His true goal was to eliminate Emmanuel!
Unfortunately, his plan failed. He didn’t consider one factor: Claudette sacrificed herself to help Emmanuel escape from danger!
Magnus never showed his true emotions to anyone, including his father, his stepmother, and Claudette.
That was mainly because he was never in love with Claudette. The person he loved the most in this world was his own sister, Hattie. Who else should he love besides his own biological sibling?
He only decided to marry Claudette for the sake of preserving Hattie’s life!
“Magnus, I know you did it all for me. That’s precisely why I feel heartbroken and guilty! I’ve never wanted you to have blood on your hands because of me! I certainly do not want my dearest brother to get hurt because of me!”
Hattie’s emotions became influenced by his agitation as she expressed her worry.
Similarly, since she was one of the Four Beauties of Zovince, she rarely showed her emotions in public. She was only acting this way because Magnus was also the most important person in her life.
She traveled thousands of miles to Yeringham, all for Magnus’ sake. She had cast aside the aura and dignity of being one of the Four Beauties just to plead with Magnus’ enemy to spare him!
That was also because she knew that his opponent was none other than the Northern Region Wolf Warrior.
If Magnus continued down this path, the likely outcome would be his death!.
“Hattie, you don’t need to feel sorry for me, and you certainly do not need to feel guilty!”
Magnus gently wrapped an arm around Hattie’s shoulder and smiled. “The biggest challenge in my life is your continued survival. It is also the meaning of my existence. Please don’t ruin my only enjoyment in life.”
He paused momentarily. Then, his smile instantly disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a gloomy and terrifying expression as he spoke, “And don’t plead with Emmanuel for my sake!”
Hattie trembled slightly.
She wasn’t afraid of him. It didn’t even matter if he turned into a demon at the drop of a hat. Her reaction was because Magnus’ coldness was completely different from his usual warm and gentlemanly demeanor.
“Magnus… You knew?”

Of course, I do. Have you forgotten that your brother is Magnus the Genius? A title granted by the Chanaea Great Sage? I know that you went to the Luxoria Hotel tonight to seek Emmanuel out. Honestly, I can guess what the contents of your conversation were!”
Magnus gritted his teeth, feeling as though his dignity had been trampled upon.
His beloved sister, Hattie, had gone to beg his most hated enemy in order to save his life! Was there anything more humiliating than this?
He knew very well that in order to wash away this shame, he had to kill Emmanuel with his own two hands!
Hattie knew full well just what Magnus was thinking. So, she was at a complete loss for what to do for a moment. The more Magnus wanted to kill Emmanuel, the greater the probability of him losing his life to Emmanuel!
Although her brother was powerful, the enemy was also very strong!
“Magnus, I’m sorry. I understand!” Hattie had no choice but to promise.
Yet, Magnus simply looked into her eyes before suddenly releasing his grip on her. There was no concealing the fury roiling in his eyes.
In the next moment, he abruptly whisked out a small knife and stabbed it fiercely into his shoulder. Shortly after, his blood sprayed onto Hattie’s immaculate clothes.
“Magnus, what are you doing?! Have you gone insane?!”
Hattie’s eyes widened immediately. Sometimes, she couldn’t predict her brother’s thoughts!
“Hattie, this is the punishment you’re getting for begging Emmanuel to spare me. If you pull the same stunt again next time, I’ll run myself through the heart with this very knife!”
Magnus could tell that although she had promised she wouldn’t seek Emmanuel out again, she would still go against his wishes after this conversation tonight. So, he was putting his life on the line to persuade her not to disobey him.
As a man, his dignity was more important than his life!
“Magnus, I truly understand!”
Although Hattie was ill, her personality was far from soft. Thus, even though she felt sorry for her brother, she didn’t shed a single tear.
Now that she was aware of Magnus’ determination, she also knew that she couldn’t go behind his back and beg Emmanuel to spare him. None of it would make a difference at this point!
Nevertheless, she didn’t want Magnus to die at Emmanuel’s hands.
