Chapter 2114
Mackenzie immediately grasped the meaning and couldn’t help but praise.
“Mr. Magnus, you truly understand the art of war. Are you capturing the
ringleader to catch the bandits?”

Magnus replied with a smile, “Not really. Perhaps it’s more like tipping off the
enemy or even poking the hornet’s nest.
“After all, capturing the Five Poisons Sect’s leader is hard. From what I know,
the Five Poisons Sect is a deeply entrenched, malignant force that has
plagued the West End for over a century. Uprooting them won’t be easy–you
must prepare for a tough battle.”
Mackenzie’s expression immediately turned serious as she nodded
resolutely. “When I take on a task, I either don’t do it or do it thoroughly! This is

not just about garnering votes; it’s truly a cause for the well–being of the
people of the West End. It must be done!”
Infected by Mackenzie’s determination, Hattie held her hand tightly and said,
“Well said, Mackenzie! Who says women can’t compare to men? We must
achieve something monumental to show the world!”
Mackenzie nodded, holding her hand in return. “Yes! I’ll immediately send
someone to track the goods. We’ll follow closely behind this time. We
absolutely can’t let our efforts be in vain!”
“Alright, let’s go!”
Magnus smiled as he watched the two women leave the room with fighting
spirits. Seems like the seemingly invincible Five Poisons Sect is in for some

serious trouble this time.
Quintus was naturally brimming with enthusiasm after hearing that there
was finally action to take.
Tracking the goods‘ whereabouts was not difficult with a military–grade
tracking system and the elite warriors of the Wolf Warrior Unit.
However, the problem was that the goods had been split into several
locations. This left Quintus unsure of which direction the main force should
pursue, so he came to consult Mackenzie.
Mackenzie immediately turned to Magnus, waiting for his insight.
However, Magnus just smiled and replied, “Mrs. Lowe, you already have the
answer in your heart, so why ask me? Is it because you want to squeeze

every ounce of value from me so you can sit back and relax while the job
gets done? This is such a classic capitalist behavior!”
Mackenzie didn’t feel embarrassed at all after being exposed, Instead, she
joked, “Hattie told me this is our privilege as women!”
Magnus was speechless upon hearing this.

“Magnus, just give Mackenzie your advice so she can consider it!” Hattie sided
with her friend over Magnus.

Feeling exasperated, Magnus still complied with Hattie’s request and said,
“The main force should pursue the southeastern location.”
Quintus immediately asked in surprise, “Why? Isn’t the Five Poisons Sect’s
stronghold in the northwest? Shouldn’t we target the northwest direction?”
Rhett and Lexi were equally curious, as they couldn’t figure it out either.
Magnus merely smiled and said nothing.
Mackenzie promptly instructed Quintus, “I get it now! Follow the strategist’s
suggestion and send the main force after the southeastern location!”
Quintus smirked and playfully threatened Magnus, “Why are you acting all
mysterious? I’ll personally give you a good beating if we don’t find the Five
Poisons Sect’s base!”

Magnus simply chuckled indifferently.
After Quintus left to make the arrangements, Lexi couldn’t hold back her
curiosity and asked, “Ms. Quillen, why are we targeting the southeastern
location?”
Mackenzie smiled and explained, “Lexi, that’s because you don’t have all the
information. You’d make the same decision if you did. The goods at that
location are the most valuable.”
Lexi’s eyes lit up as she quickly pieced it together. She clapped her hands in
realization and replied, “I get it now! They’d sell the less valuable items and
offer the pricier ones as tributes to the Five Poisons Sect to curry favor with
their masters!”
“Exactly.” Mackenzie nodded.

As someone in a position of power, she had seen her share of bribes, which
were always the most valuable items.
Hattie smiled knowingly and added, “I deliberately included items perfect for
offering as tribute. That was my intention all along!”
“I see!”

Rhett, observing silently, couldn’t help but comment, “It seems strategy is far
more important than brute force in warfare!”

Mackenzie quickly corrected him. “Not at all, as they’re equally important!
We’re bound to succeed in eradicating the Five Poisons Sect, ridding the West
End of this malignancy, and accomplishing a great feat for the people with a
strategist and a warrior like you!”
Hearing this, Hattie exchanged a glance with her Magnus. They both felt
Mackenzie was incredibly suited for leadership as she had a knack for
inspiring morale among her team.
During their conversation, Quintus returned to report, “Mackenzie, I’ve already
assigned smaller teams to track the other locations. Should we now set off
for the southeastern target?”
“Let’s go!”

“Wait for us. We’re coming too!”
Everyone turned to see Laura and Claudette.
“Claudette, this operation is about chasing down enemies, not just some
treasure–hunting adventure. It’ll be extremely dangerous! You should stay
behind or return to Yeringham,” Mackenzie urged.
“I…” Claudette hesitated, clearly not wanting to defy Mackenzie but still
glancing toward Laura for support.
“Come on! We thrive on excitement, so just take us along! It’d be so boring to
come all this way only to head back now,” Laura protested and threw a

No one knew Claudette better than her mother. Laura understood the most
cherished memory buried deep down in her daughter’s heart.
After bringing Claudette home, she initially thought it might be best for
Claudette to continue living in her amnesiac state. Over time, it became
clear that something was missing.
Life was short, and losing over two decades of memories meant losing a third
of one’s life. Laura and Claudette often tried to reminisce but had nothing to
draw upon.
Thus, Laura still hoped Claudette would regain her memories–especially the
most beautiful ones, such as the night she and Emmanuel shared under a

Perhaps, recreating a similar scene might stimulate her cerebral cortex and
awaken those deeply buried memories.
Magnus said with a smile, “Let them come along. No matter what, the
princess will be protected with a knight around.”
“Enough with that! My sister is under my protection!” Quintus immediately
stepped in, placing his hands firmly on Claudette’s shoulders.

“You can watch, but don’t wander off. Just stay in the back and admire my
heroic feats,”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you all.” Claudette nodded obediently and once again
looked toward Mackenzie.
Seeing that everyone supported bringing them along, Mackenzie had no
choice but to sigh and relent. “Fine, come along if you want.”
“Thank you! Saintess, I promise to listen to you!” Claudette exclaimed in
excitement.
Mackenzie looked at her and felt a twinge of pity.

Claudette had always been a gentle and well–behaved woman. After losing
her memories, a lack of security caused her psychological age to regress,
