In the West End, after successfully recovering vital supplies, Mackenzie led
her forces to halt at Riverhaven. As per the plan, the mission would be
officially deemed complete once the anti–bandit team reached the
westernmost city. Had this been merely a bureaucratic formality, this would
e
have been the end of it. The authorities would have issued a statement

declaring victory over the bandits, fooling the naive public into thinking all
had been resolved. But she was not the type to engage in such
self–deception.

Today, once more, Mr. Willy and Mr. Quail, along with a few others, made their
way to the hotel where she was staying, seeking a discussion on the next few
steps! “Ms. Quillen,” Anthony began, forcing a polite smile, “we’ve spent
almost two weeks on this, and we’ve eliminated a good number of bandit
hideouts. We’ve already made a significant impact for the people of the West

End. Perhaps it’s time to call it a wrap?” Mackenzie could easily see through
his intentions. He was simply overseeing the relief operations, and now that
the supplies had been successfully delivered and his reputation had been
olstered, he was eager to step away!
“Mr. Willy, what do you think about this?” she inquired, directing the question
to the chairman of the West End Chamber of Commerce, a man of equal
status to herself. “You should decide, Ms. Quillen,” Mr. Willy replied smoothly,
his words carefully chosen. “But with so many influential people following your
lead, we should aim for something monumental. Otherwise, we’ll be the
subject of ridicule!” In a masterful move, he deflected the responsibility right
back to her.
Truthfully, Mackenzie was growing increasingly frustrated with the two men!
You guys had been the ones who initially pledged to deal with the bandits,

but now, after barely making a dent in their mission, you guys were eager to
call it quits. It seemed you were quick to accept accolades but just as swift to
shift the blame when things got tough. Though she was fully aware of their
totives, she held her frustration in check. Instead, she simply replied, “You
can head back now. I’ll let you know later today whether we’ll continue our
efforts or pull back.” Mr. Willy responded, his tone as composed as ever,
“Understood, Ms. Quillen. We’ll await your decision, confident in
your
wisdom.
Once they had departed, Mackenzie couldn’t hold it in any longer. She turned
to the Zelinsky siblings, who had quietly approached from behind, and vented
her frustration. “This is absurd! These people from the West End treat me like
some high–end laborer. It’s as if I’m just working for their glory, and I don’t
even get paid for it!” Hattie reassured her, reaching out to offer some
warmth. “Mackenzie, don’t let it get to you! You must have expected
something like this, right?” Mackenzie sighed heavily before grimacing. She

had indeed braced herself for it when she agreed to lead this mismatched
group. After all, I had aimed to win the favor of West End’s various factions to
secure their backing and become the chairman of the Chamber of
ommerce.
“People can be so exhausted once they start chasing their desires,” she
lamented, letting her frustrations flow freely to her closest friend. Hattie
grinned, her tone playful. “Don’t worry! With Magnus by our side, we won’t
have to shoulder the burden. Let him take care of the heavy lifting!” Magnus
could only stand there, speechless. Mackenzie chuckled, “True, having
Magnus around does make life easier! But now, I’m curious if he has anything
to suggest for me?” Hattie urged, nudging him, “Come on, Magnus, what’s
your take?”
Magnus could only sigh internally. This sister of mine is truly spoiled! But after

more than two decades of indulging her, he was at least used to it by now,
“Since everyone’s lost their enthusiasm and no longer have the drive to keep
hunting down bandits, it’s probably best to call it a day and pull back,” he
tated. His unexpected reply caught both women off guard. Mackenzie raised
an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. “Magnus, when you say pull back, do you
mean for real, or is this just a show?” Without missing a beat, he replied with
conviction, “It’s a genuine one. We need to make it clear to the other side that
we are pulling back with complete honesty.” In an instant, her face lit
up with
understanding.
“Got it. I’ll send out the orders right away to disband and have everyone head
back to Silvergate,” she spoke swiftly, eager to put the plan in motion.
Magnus couldn’t help but grin, appreciating how effortless it was to converse
with sharp minds. Not only was Mackenzie quick on the uptake, but Hattie
was no slouch either. She chimed in, “Magnus, are you trying to draw the

bandits back in with this tactic?” He declared with unwavering confidence,
“Exactly! A thief’s nature doesn’t change–just like a dog can’t resist filth, or a
rat can’t stop scavenging. They may hold back for a while, but eventually,
eir instincts will get the better of them.”
Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she eagerly added, “In that case, I’ll go
lay out some bait and draw those rats out!” He raised a hand to halt her. “Not
yet. Let’s hold off for a couple of days.” Leaning back, he spoke more calmly,
“Rats are crafty. If they sense danger or see the trap set too early, they won’t
fall for it. Plus, I’ve got a few other matters to handle in the meantime. Let’s
give the West End a short break and regroup!”
When Magnus mentioned having something crucial to handle, Hattie’s
expression turned serious. “So, is the day finally here to finish off the one

resolve. “Back when we were tied to the Zelinsky family, I had to tread
carefully. But now that we’re out of that shadow, I can finally act without
restraint. I’ll make sure he’s finished for good!” Hearing that, a fierce gleam of
nticipation lit up Hattie’s eyes!
Meanwhile, back in Zovince, Emmanuel had just heard from Mackenzie
through a video call of the sudden decision to dissolve the anti–bandit forces
where they stood. He nodded approvingly at the tactic. Battling bandits
requires agility and unpredictability, not the heavy–handed force of a military
invasion. Making a loud declaration of war only warns them to hide. Only fools
would sit still, waiting for such an onslaught. Because Magnus had been such
a valuable ally to Mackenzie, Emmanuel knew it was his turn to honor his
commitment–to take down Maxwell!
That very evening, Emmanuel arranged to meet with Nathan for dinner at a
7/10

prestigious club in Zovince. The club wasn’t just for dining; it was an
all–encompassing venue, providing a blend of fine cuisine, drinks, and
entertainment under one roof. “Master, are we really moving against Maxwell
is week?” Nathan asked the moment he settled into the private lounge,
flanked by Emmanuel, Sage, and Ashton. Emmanuel gave a slight nod, but it
was Ashton’s reaction–a subtle shiver–that drew attention. After all, Maxwell
wasn’t just any name to her; he was her ex!
Just as Emmanuel was about to reply, Nathan shot a mischievous look at
Ashton, his voice dripping with mock innocence. “Oh? Don’t tell me you’re still
pining for that dirtbag when you’re supposed to be into me now?” She shot
back, giving him a pointed look, “Ha! If anyone’s a dirtbag, it’s you! Maxwell
might be low, but he’s not even in your league.” He burst into laughter,
thoroughly amused. “Imagine that! Despite knowing all about my little black
book, someone had the gall to confess her undying admiration for me at my

wedding! Isn’t that just hilarious?”
“You-” she fumed, heat rising in her cheeks. Looking back, she could hardly
elieve herself. Had I really been under some kind of spell, or was it my fate to
be drawn to dirtbags? How was it that, time after time, I ended up falling for
men with egos bigger than their hearts? The moment she looked ready to
throw a punch, Nathan braced himself instinctively. Right there, at the dinner
table, they actually began sparring in earnest. Nathan, hardly taking a break
between swings, managed to flash a proud grin in Emmanuel’s direction.
“See, Master? My skills are leveling up, aren’t they?”
His smugness only fueled Ashton’s determination, and her punches became
sharper, her intent unmistakable–she wasn’t holding back this time!
Emmanuel could only shake his head, bemused, watching their antics like a
pair of quarreling companions who happened to enjoy a good tussle. For all
