Stop Talking Nonsense
The receptionist couldn't believe what she had just heard. She stared at Magnus and Felix alternately."This man... is he your friend, Mr. Felix?""Did my words sound unclear?""Ah, no, sir. I-I heard you clearly."Despite saying that, the receptionist still doubted what Felix said. How could a man who looked like a slob be friends with a respectable and wealthy man like Felix?The security guard, meanwhile, had a different reaction. He looked relieved after Felix appeared."What's going on? You're in some trouble, buddy?" Felix asked, turning to Magnus.Magnus pointed at his tote bag containing the wads of cash."My brother and I wanted to look at apartments here, but this receptionist tried to drive me away, claiming I couldn't even afford the cheapest apartment. And after I showed her the money I was carrying, she accused me of being a thief," Magnus explained.Felix glanced at the tote bag, then gave the receptionist a cynical look. "Is what my friend said true?"The receptionist
You Know This Man, Mr. Felix?
Magnus gave the security guard a scrutinizing look. Was this security guard one of the spectators at his fights the previous night?"No mistake. You're the one who beat the tiger mask and the Dark Lady, right?" The security guard moved closer to Magnus and said it in a low voice.Magnus raised an eyebrow. His guess seemed to be correct. This security guard had watched his fights the night before."You know him?" the receptionist asked the security guard.The security guard looked back at the receptionist and was about to answer, but he suddenly hesitated. He looked again at the wads of cash inside the tote bag on the reception desk. He wondered if that was the money Magnus had gotten from winning the matches the previous night.The security guard moved even closer to Magnus and spoke to him in an even lower voice. "Is that the money you got last night?"Magnus nodded. "Only some of it, though.""I knew it," the security guard muttered.With this, the reason for the eviction requested
Is This Stolen Money?
Magnus narrowed his eyes, a mocking smile on his face."A noble? Who is this guy? He just shows up and labels himself a noble?" Magnus asked softly.Jonas moved closer and whispered with a panicked look, "That's Barnes Anderson, the deputy chairman of the Merseyvale Regional Council. He's a powerful man. We should go now. Don't let us get into trouble with him."Magnus heard everything Jonas said clearly, but he didn't give it much thought. He kept his defiant and mocking gaze on Barnes."Hey, you two, hurry up and leave! Don't make Mr. Barnes uncomfortable. He's one of our premium clients," the receptionist said.Magnus chuckled. A premium client? In his eyes, Barnes was nothing more than a pathetic man who relied on money and influence for his power. While he was trapped in that world of monsters and magic, he had faced enemies like that several times, and they were ultimately destroyed by their greed and arrogance."You're still looking at me like that. Are you so stupid that you d
Stop Wasting My Time
The next day, after visiting his mother at the hospital, Magnus went to The Grand Mersey, the most luxurious apartment complex in downtown Merseyvale. He brought Jonas with him. It was Sunday and Jonas didn't have a part-time job scheduled."We're going to look at apartments there?" Jonas asked, staring at Magnus in disbelief."Yeah," Magnus replied, raising an eyebrow. "You can help me choose which apartment you think is right for us."They were in a taxi. Since Magnus had started the conversation about buying an apartment, the taxi driver had glanced in the rearview mirror several times, giving Magnus a strange look."That's not funny at all," Jonas snapped."I'm not joking," Magnus countered. "Today we're going to buy one of the most luxurious apartments there, and we're moving in today."Jonas frowned. "You're crazy," he said. "I thought we were going there to meet a friend of yours who lives there."Magnus smiled broadly. "I don't have any friends there. I don't know a single per
She Was Under Hypnosis?
The Dark Lady's eyes widened as she stared at Magnus. "You!!""Don't worry. You're not gonna die," Magnus said.In addition to parrying and throwing the short sword in the Dark Lady's left hand, Magnus also redirected the short sword in her right hand, and that's how the sharp edge of the blade ended up stuck in her stomach, piercing her so deeply that the tip of the blade was visible on her back.Quickly, Magnus used a bit of his magic to neutralize the poison that was starting to spread through the Dark Lady's body. If he hadn't, there was a high probability his opponent would be dead soon."Argh!!"Slowly, Magnus pulled the short sword out of the Dark Lady's stomach. Even though the poison's effect had been neutralized, the pain was still so damn real.The Dark Lady's defenses had been shattered. Magnus could have finished her off right then and there if he wanted to.But he didn't. There was something he wanted to make sure."About what you said earlier... what exactly did you mea
Poisoned Swords
"How could you become that fast and strong? What kind of training have you been doing?"Jared sat down without asking permission. They were now facing each other, about three meters apart."Just some intense solo training. Calisthenics and stuff. Something like that," Magnus replied.Of course, he couldn't tell the truth. But for some reason, seeing Jared's faint smile and his confident gaze, it crossed his mind that Jared knew what he was hiding."I see." Jared nodded. "Whatever it is, I'm really impressed with what you just did in the fighting arena. You toyed with your opponent—intentionally, I'm sure—and at one point you launched a devastating blow he couldn't avoid. And boom! The fight just ended. That was cool."Magnus didn't know what to say, so he just stared at Jared silently. Secretly, he considered accessing Jared's memories. But before their conversation could go on any longer, Jared suddenly stood up, signaling that he was ending their chat."Do you have more fights tonig
