A Fatal Blunder
That night, Magnus and his siblings celebrated their mother’s birthday. The atmosphere was vibrant—a rare moment of warmth for a family that had spent years in the cold. It was clear they hadn't felt this sense of togetherness in a very long time.After the celebration wound down, Magnus retreated to his room. He lay on his bed for a while, scrolling through his phone, before wandering out onto the balcony. Sleep was far off. He decided to call Krystal Lim.She picked up on the fourth ring. When Magnus asked where she was and what she was doing, she let out a soft chuckle.[You’re funny, Magnus. You’re asking me that as if we’re actually dating.]Magnus smirked, his eyes tracking the city lights. “Aren’t we? After everything that happened last night—and this morning—I thought it was only natural to assume we were.”A playful glint flickered in his eyes. If they were face-to-face right now, he probably would have pulled her close and tasted her lips again.[Ehm... we... haven't exactly
Felix's Support Confirmed
Jonas did a double-take, giving Magnus a bewildered look. "You’re coming to my school? Tomorrow?"Magnus nodded firmly. "It’s time to teach them a lesson. They need to understand that what they’ve been doing is wrong."Jonas looked hesitant. "What exactly... are you going to do to them? You’re not planning on beating them up like those other thugs, are you? Remember, they’re just high school kids."Magnus let out a sarcastic smirk. "They might be high school age, but their actions are inexcusable. There has to be a reckoning. From what you’ve told me, the school—whether it’s the teachers or the principal—hasn't lifted a finger to help you. If they won’t do their jobs, I have to step in. But relax. I know where the line is. I’m not going to treat them like the mobsters I dealt with earlier."Magnus had made his intentions clear, but Jonas still looked uneasy. He was clearly weighing the social fallout of what might happen once Magnus "disciplined" the gang."Drop it for now. We’ll talk
Just Say It, Don't Hold Back
When Magnus returned to The Grand Mersey, this time clutching a fresh birthday cake, the two security guards watched him with blatant suspicion.They had witnessed an event that defied every law of logic and common sense. No matter how high their IQs might be, their brains simply couldn't process the impossible reality they had seen just moments before.Magnus noticed their stares. It was unsettling, but he didn't have the luxury of time to dwell on it. Jasmine was already blowing up his phone, demanding to know why he wasn't home yet.In the elevator as it ascended, Magnus remembered his original mission: he had come back to see Felix. He slapped his forehead and shook his head at his own forgetfulness. He’d have to drop by Felix’s place later that evening if possible; if not, a phone call to the retired general would have to suffice."Where have you been? What took you so long?" Jasmine demanded the moment he stepped into the apartment."Ran into a few complications," Magnus replied
A Pathetic End
The aura radiating from Magnus’s body was pure nightmare fuel. It sent a violent shiver down the spines of the three Fire Tiger mobsters, stealing the very air from their lungs.The moment Magnus coiled his muscles to strike the windshield, the man in the backseat threw the door open and bailed.CRASH!He hit the asphalt, rolling hard. He was safe for now, but the two in the front weren't so lucky.The driver took the full force of Magnus’s fist. He tried to block, but Magnus’s strength was on another level—his arm bones snapped and splintered instantly. The punch didn't stop there; it plowed into his chest, inflicting internal damage that no doctor could ever fix. He didn't die immediately; he just slumped over, coughing up thick sprays of blood, his life effectively over.The passenger was paralyzed. He watched his partner get pulverized and couldn't even blink. He was still staring with wide, bulging eyes when Magnus shifted his focus."Gah!"Magnus’s hand clamped around the man's
Monster
Magnus managed to dodge the shot aimed at him. His car came to a dead stop, his forehead nearly slamming into the dashboard.He turned toward the explosion, seeing massive flames roaring on the asphalt and black smoke billowing into the sky. He then pivoted his gaze in the opposite direction, toward the point where the shooter was positioned.Magnus’s pupils dilated. He unbuckled his seatbelt, kicked the car door open, and leaped out, rolling along the roadside.Whoosh! BOOM!!Another massive explosion erupted. This time, the roaring inferno swallowed Magnus's Rolls-Royce. Realizing he wouldn't be given a second to breathe, Magnus scrambled up and dropped into a combat stance, fully alert.The attackers were using rocket launchers. He had to admit, they were insane enough to use such weapons in a civilian area in broad daylight. Magnus immediately understood that whoever he was fighting wouldn't hesitate to kill him the moment they had the chance.“Don’t be cowards! Show yourselves!!”
Change of Plan
Magnus was cruising in his black Rolls-Royce through a fairly congested stretch of road when he realized he was being shadowed.A black van. It was trailing a few cars behind him.Magnus didn't know who these people were yet, but his instincts told him they were connected to the Giant Skull mobsters he had wiped out in the early hours of the morning.He narrowed his eyes. Whatever they were planning, he was ready.Ring! Ring!His phone suddenly chimed. It was an incoming call from Jasmine."Hello?"[Magnus, where are you right now?]"I’m on my way... to The Grand Mersey. Why?"[Can you stop by a bakery for a minute?]"A bakery?"[Yeah, today is Mom’s birthday. I want the four of us to celebrate together.]Magnus’s pupils dilated. His mother’s birthday? He hadn't remembered at all. It seemed that the years spent trapped in a world of monsters and magic had stripped many precious things from his memory."What kind of cake do you want me to get? Are we celebrating this afternoon or tonig
