An iron arrow struck Magnus's right thigh, sending him tumbling to the ground. Before he could even push himself up, another arrow buried itself in his back.‘Shit! Am I going to die like this?’ he cursed internally. He could feel fresh blood soaking into his t-shirt.Magnus was deep inside a dense forest on the outskirts of Merseyvale, a small city south of Neanderland. Six evil guys, including his cousin Julius, were hunting him down on horseback.This whole mess started six days ago with Magnus's reckless decision. At the palace-like residence of the Barbosa family, his late father’s side, Magnus had demanded that Vincent—the head of the Barbosa family and his late paternal grandfather—pay for his mother’s surgery, which cost two million dollars.Magnus believed his mother had become frail, constantly vomiting blood, because the Barbosa family had treated her so horribly. After his father died, his mother had worked in the Barbosa residence’s main home as a housekeeper to cover thei

The two disgusting men who were groping Jasmine turned back to see a man standing in the doorway with blazing blue eyes. It was none other than Magnus.“Who the hell are you?” asked the blue-haired man, his eyes wide. Although the face of the man before him reminded him of Magnus, his brain refused to believe it was actually Magnus.Magnus stepped forward, his foot landing on the broken door he had just kicked down.“Hey, idiot! Answer when you’re asked a question!” the blue-haired man yelled, walking toward Magnus with his hands clenched and a fierce look on his face.Thud! Thud!Suddenly, the blue-haired man doubled over and vomited blood, while Magnus walked past him—eyes locked on the red-haired man.“Hey, what’s wrong with you?!”The red-haired man stared at his blue-haired friend, anxious. But there was no answer. His friend was sprawled face-down, no longer moving.He then shifted his focus to Magnus. Like the blue-haired man, he couldn't believe the figure walking toward him wa

Magnus punched Julius in the chest. Julius was thrown back, his spine slamming against the exterior wall of the bar. Like his three friends, he too coughed up blood.“Ugh... ugh...”Julius fell to his knees, hacking and spitting more blood. In front of him, Magnus walked calmly. The fear Julius felt moments ago was still intensely real.“You think you can buy everything with money? You think money can erase all the disgusting things you’ve done to me and my family? You don’t feel guilty about any of it?” Magnus asked sarcastically.Julius slowly raised his face. Magnus's eyes were still blazing blue. He wondered what he was actually seeing.“O-okay, okay. I-I’m sorry... I-I was wrong... I admit I was wrong... P-please forgive me...”Thwack!Magnus kicked Julius directly in the head. Julius was sent flying, tumbling several meters.“It’s too late for apologies,” Magnus stated. “Instead of begging me for forgiveness, you should be praying to God, because I am seriously thinking about kil

Magnus and Frank were separated by the car’s hood. Their distance was extremely close. Frank was absolutely certain that at such a short range, his shot wouldn't miss. Magnus wouldn't have enough time to dodge as he did before.“You sure you wanna do this?” Magnus asked with a dismissive tone.“Shut your fucking mouth, you scum!” Frank roared. “Whatever trick you used on Julius’s friends and my men, it won’t work on me. Put both your hands up and place them behind your head! Don’t try anything funny!”Magnus didn’t respond, only staring at Frank coldly.“I said put your hands up and place them behind your head! Now!”Magnus slowly raised his hands, pretending to comply with Frank’s demand. But before he could put his hands behind his head, he suddenly leaped and charged at Frank.Bang!Thud!“Argh...”The shot Frank fired missed. Conversely, Magnus’s tackle landed squarely on target. Frank was thrown back and now groaned in pain as his back slammed into the road surface.Magnus picked

“Magnus, are you insane? Don’t do anything weird. You don’t know anything about medicine,” Jasmine protested, glaring at Magnus.Magnus raised his left hand, a signal for Jasmine not to bother him. Jasmine put her hands on her hips and snorted. In her eyes, Magnus was being overcome by his ego, and she hated things like that.Meanwhile, Jonas had been observing Magnus’s words and movements with deep suspicion. Even though Jasmine kept saying the name Magnus, Jonas wasn’t completely convinced that this long-haired man who suddenly appeared was his older brother.‘If he really is my brother Magnus, does that mean he came back from hell? What a fucking joke!’ he grumbled internally.“What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going to show me you’re better than me?” Flynn sneered. “Or are you giving up—realizing that what you said was utterly ridiculous?”Magnus ignored him. He’d finished scanning his mother’s body. It turned out her body was contaminated with acute levels of poison. He visuali
