“Boss, that woman Mackenzie is hosting a banquet tonight at the only hotel in town!”
As soon as they entered the town, Ayan Black quickly gathered intel.

“That woman sure knows how to live the high life. Everywhere she goes, she enjoys nothing but the best. Such a bureaucrat! Tonight, we’ll tie her up and deliver her to the Serpent King first!”
Mauve Protector clenched his fists, clearly displeased with Mackenzie’s airs and graces.
Ayan leaned closer to his ear and whispered, “I’ve heard Mackenzie is quite the stunner. Rumor has it that she’s accompanied by several beauties. If we capture them all… well, you know what I mean.”
The rest of his suggestion didn’t need to be said out loud–the implication was clear.
Mauve Protector chuckled darkly. “Fine by me. The Serpent King only likes virgins anyway. If they’re not, we can enjoy them ourselves. Let’s go!”
After sharing a few crude laughs, the group made their way toward the hotel.
Upon arrival, they didn’t need to break in. Instead, Mauve Protector consumed a strange substance and exhaled a peculiar smoke that quickly rendered everyone in the hotel unconscious.
“Move in!”
Mauve Protector gestured for his men to follow him inside.
The hotel wasn’t very tall. In the banquet hall, members of the Wolf Warrior Unit were already succumbing to the effects of the poison. Most had collapsed onto their dining tables before the Five Poison Sect even made their move.
Among others, even Mackenzie and Hattie swayed dizzily before slumping over.
“Hey, what’s going on with you guys? Can’t hold your liquor? Haha…”
Quintus, noticing the people around him falling, initially thought they were drunk. But moments later, he also collapsed onto the table with a loud thud, his weight breaking the flimsy furniture beneath him.
“Haha!”
Mauve Protector strode in triumphantly, laughing as he surveyed the unconscious figures.
Ayan, standing behind him, praised loudly, “Mauve Protector, you truly are the Serpent King’s finest! Your mastery of toxins is unmatched. Just one puff of that smoke, and so many are down for the count!”
Though the flattery was cliched, Mauve Protector lapped it up. He had unwavering confidence in his Seven Step Violet Venom and basked in the praise.
“Bind Mackenzie for me!”
As he issued the order, his gaze landed on Mackenzie’s table, where several stunning women were slumped over. His eyes gleamed with greed.

Just as he was about to indulge in his sordid fantasies, a man in a crimson cloak abruptly raised his head.
With a swift motion, the man grabbed a Five Poison Set member who had tried to touch Mackenzie and snapped the man’s wrist with a loud crack.
“Ahhh!”
What’s going on?!
The agonized scream left Mauve Protector and Ayan stunned.
Who is this man?
How is he unaffected by the poison?
“What’s wrong? Are you so startled by just one man escaping the poison? If that’s the case, you’re going to be terrified by this.”
Magnus suddenly sat up, wearing a peculiar mask that partially concealed his face. His eyes gleamed with triumph.
“H–how is this possible?”
Ayan turned to Mauve Protector in panic.
Mauve Protector didn’t respond. His eyes widened in disbelief as more and more people started to rise. One after another, they raised their heads, each wearing the same strange mask.
This can’t be real!
How can my Seven Step Violet Venom fail?
“Magnus, your equipment is impressive. You predicted I’d leave you in the West End to deal with the Five Poison Sect and prepared for this in advance, didn’t you?” Mackenzie spoke as she also sat upright.
The members of the Five Poison Sect were now utterly panicked. Some tried to flee the hotel, only to find. the exits blocked.
Without exception, every member of the Wolf Warrior Unit was equipped with a compact gas mask.
“A century ago, the Five Poison Sect ruled the West End with their mastery of toxins. But times have changed. With advances in technology and medicine, clinging to outdated methods will only lead to your downfall,” Magnus declared confidently.
He continued, “Your toxic smoke may be potent, but as long as it isn’t inhaled, it’s harmless. It’s a perfect example of why prevention is better than cure–a principle medical students always emphasize.”
Mackenzie couldn’t help but give him a thumbs–up.
Even Rhett, who had long since donned the gas mask, gave Magnus a thumbs–up. If only he had this gear earlier when fighting the Great Four Envoys, he wouldn’t have suffered such severe injuries.
Watching Magnus steal the spotlight, Laura leaned close to Claudette and whispered, “I have to admit, that guy can be kind of charming sometimes.”

Claudette admired Magnus‘ foresight–he hadn’t taken a single step without planning several moves ahead. Admiration, however, wasn’t the same as affection.
“Hahaha…”
Suddenly, Quintus leaped up and strolled toward Mauve Protector and his men. With a smug grin, he said, “It’s all thanks to my acting, isn’t it? They definitely thought I was poisoned, too. That’s why they let their guard down and walked right into the trap!”
Mauve Protector trembled as he stammered, “And… who are you?”
Quintus‘ confident expression froze. His voice faltered, and he fell silent.
Pfft!
The women tearby couldn’t hold back their laughter.
The room erupted in mirth.
What should have been a perilous confrontation played out as effortlessly as a hero swatting away minor villains.
“Come on! You don’t know,me? I’m the one who burned down your base in Stonvale!” Quintus shouted as he launched a punch at Mauve Protector.
“Quintus, keep him alive!”
ackenzie quickly called out!
Luckily, she intervened just in time. Otherwise, that punch might have been Mauve Protector’s end.
Mauve Protector blocked the strike but stumbled back several steps. Misjudging that Quintus had held back, he sneered coldly. “So, you’re the general of this unit? Your strength is nothing extraordinary! Even if I weren’t poisoned, you wouldn’t be able to hold me here!”
“Oh, really?”
Before his words could settle, a red flash streaked past. Rhett was already standing behind him.
How fast.
It was unbelievably fast.
His eyes widened in disbelief. Though he was an S–level fighter, he instantly realized he was no match for Rhett’s speed and power.
Thud!
With a single swift hand chop, Rhett knocked him unconscious.
Quintus and the other Wolf Warrior elites charged forward, swiftly subduing the rest of the group. moments, all forty–two men were captured alive.

Quintus quickly approached Mackenzie to report, “Mackenzie, they’re all captured–forty–two in total. What’s the next step?”
He hadn’t expected to take prisoners this time. Previously, their numbers were too small to even attempt it, and if not for Libby guiding the way, they wouldn’t have gotten this far.
“Bind them all first. Then, wake up their leader somewhere secure. I’ll interrogate him myself!” Mackenzie issued her orders decisively.
