Chapter 2057
Meanwhile, in an ordinary, unremarkable meeting hall in Zone 8 of Zovince,
Gautier was deep in conversation with Levi.
“You’re truly something, Gautier! Hank is already on his way to confront
Emmanuel. There’s bound to be a conflict this time!” Levi said with a toast to
Gautier, though his tone lacked enthusiasm. After all, stirring up trouble like
this wasn’t exactly a grand scheme.
Gautier clinked his glass with Levi’s, smiling as he said, “I actually asked for us
to meet here today because I need two favors.”
“Do you? What is it?” Levi responded politely but made no promises to fulfill
them.

“I’d like to borrow a few skilled men from you. I have someone I need to kill
tonight,” Gautier said with an air of significance.
And who would that be?” Levi’s eyes showed a flicker of curiosity.
Gautier glanced around cautiously before leaning in close and whispering a
name into Levi’s ear.
“What?!” Levi was startled, his expression shifting dramatically. “Gautier, this is
absolutely out of the question! Killing him would bring a storm of trouble!
Besides, his martial skills are formidable, and with the Four Great Envoys
currently off in the West End on other assignments, there’s no one available
who could take him down.”
Gautier, as if expecting this reaction, smiled calmly and said, “Don’t worry, no
one will know it was us. If we don’t have the guts to handle this, I may as well

resign. I wouldn’t be suited to being Mr. Tanner’s assistant anymore.”
“This…” Levi hesitated, clearly torn, before finally sighing in resignation. “Alright,
Ifigure something out. Mr. Tanner has high hopes for you. You should take
your duties seriously–he plans to officially announce you as his assistant
next week.”
“Thank you, Mr. Lestrange!” Gautier’s smile widened, already having
anticipated Levi’s agreement. He then smoothly continued, “The second
matter I wanted to discuss is related to what you just mentioned.”
“Do tell,” Levi said, now even more intrigued by Gautier. He saw this young
man as a promising talent, watching him rapidly grow with each step. In
Levi’s eyes, Gautier could one day become a towering figure like Teddy
himself.

“With your influence and connections, I imagine it wouldn’t be difficult for you
to suppress an outside company like Terence Group’s branch, would it?”
Gautier asked, his tone turning cold.
“What?” Levi was taken aback. “Aren’t you managing that company? Why
would you want me to go after it?”
Gautier’s expression was resolute as he explained, “Emmanuel still doesn’t
trust me. If it weren’t for Mackenzie’s desire to use me, he’d have killed me by
now. If something doesn’t happen soon, I won’t earn his trust. And without
value, he’ll certainly eliminate me.”

Levi nodded slowly, understanding the dangerous game Gautier was playing.
“You’re constantly walking a tightrope with your life at stake, Gautier, I truly
admire your courage.”
Gautier shrugged nonchalantly. “I’m just doing what’s necessary for Mr.
Tanner, ensuring Chanaea is managed properly.”
“Very well, then. You handle these matters however you see fit. I trust you,
and whatever support you need from me, I’ll provide,” Levi agreed readily this
time.
“Thank you!” Gautier flashed a charming smile, more alluring than the wine in
his glass, though far deeper and more calculating.
Truth be told, Levi couldn’t fully grasp Gautier’s true nature, but he was

captivated by him, much like one might be by an aged, fine wine with a
complexity that draws one in with every sip.
After Levi left, Gautier remained in the meeting hall, drinking alone for a while
before finally deciding to leave. Just as he stepped outside, a familiar voice
called out behind him, “Gautier, so you’ve come to Zovince after all!”
Gautier turned around, surprised for a moment when he saw the unfamiliar
man in front of him. However, he quickly realized who it was and smiled. “I
should have known it was you. I knew Emmanuel wouldn’t have been able to
kill you so easily!”
“Care to grab a drink? Your treat!” the stranger said, pushing up his glasses
with a grin. “I’m a bit short on cash at the moment.”

“No problem!” Gautier agreed without hesitation. “I knew you’d make a
comeback eventually. I’ll keep this one on your tab, Mr. Zelinsky!
la ha…” Magnus laughed heartily, “You’ve always been my smartest friend.
Let’s go!”
The two of them went back into the meeting hall and ordered two bottles of
aged liquor.
“So, Mr. Magnus, what brings you to me?” Gautier asked directly.
“I was hoping we could catch up first, but since you’re in such a hurry, I’ll get
to the point,” Magnus said, leaning back and adjusting his glasses. “We were
once close friends, right?”

“We were,” Gautier replied straightforwardly. “We still are. And in the future-
“In the future, who knows,” Magnus cut him off. “I’ve always believed that true
iends aren’t necessarily people who share the same hobbies or ideals, but
they do share the same goals and interests.”
Gautier nodded in agreement.

Magnus continued, “We used to share a common enemy–Emmanuel. But
that’s no longer the case. Emmanuel has no reason to kill me, and I have no
reason to kill him. You, on the other hand, still want to take him out to help

Teddy. And Emmanuel certainly wants you dead,”

“So, what’s your point?” Gautier, knowing how clever Magnus was, didn’t
other playing games and asked directly, “Are you suggesting you’re going to
become friends with Emmanuel? Isn’t that a bit ridiculous?”
“It is a little ridiculous,” Magnus admitted with a chuckle as he took a sip of his
drink. Setting his glass down, he explained, “But you know me–I’ve only ever
been focused on protecting my sister. She’s my only remaining family. My
true enemy is Maxwell Zelinsky, the man who’s been trying to kill me and my
sister our entire lives. I plan to stand with Emmanuel and take down Maxwell
Then I’ll take control of the Zelinsky family.”
“I see,” Gautier nodded, saying nothing more.

Magnus, however, pressed on. “The way things are heading, there’s a good
chance we’ll end up as enemies
Magnus said the word “enemies,” he locked eyes with Gautier through his
glasses. The lenses seemed to create a distance between them, making the
space between them feel larger than it was.
Gautier suddenly laughed. “So you’ve come here to convince me to team up
with you and Emmanuel, to take down Maxwell, help you take over the
Zelinsky family, and ensure Ethan Hunt wins the election, right?”
“You don’t think that’s a good idea?” Magnus smiled, asking in return.
Gautier’s smile darkened, becoming more bitter. “So, my father died for
nothing? So I should just stand by and watch while Emmanuel takes the

woman I love? And I’m supposed to silently wish them a happy life together?”
Magnus fell silent.
Gautier realized he had let his emotions get the better of him and quickly
reined them in. He knew Magnus too well–what he could hide from others, he
couldn’t hide from him.
Magnus picked up his glass, drained the remaining liquor in one gulp, and
stood up. “Alright, I think that’s enough talking for today. Hopefully, we’ll have
another chance to drink together in the future.”
Gautier smiled slightly, replying, “There are no permanent friends or enemies.
I’m sure there will be another chance.”
