Lindon chuckled softly. He raised his eyes to look at him with a hint of annoyance in his gaze. “Mag, I know you hate me, but I really didn't do it on purpose back then. It was her who seduced me first. Why don't you believe me?”
No sooner had his words fallen than Magus instantly became furious, swinging his fist and ready to strike. “Shut the hell up.”
Just as he was about to rush forward, the person behind Lindon suddenly raised a gun and aimed it at him. “Don't be impulsive, or don't blame my gun for being blind!”
Seeing that person, Magus did not even care about it. His gaze shifted directly to Lindon. Magus stared at him intensely as if he wanted to tear him apart and swallow him whole.
At that moment, the three little ones who were hidden in the shadows, including Miguel, watched with furrowed brows.
“Lindon knows Magus' weakness all too well. A casual remark can enrage him,” Anthony sighed helplessly.
Benjamin was also watching and muttered, “Perhaps he just wants to gain Magus' trust again in this way?” As he said that, Benjamin looked up at him and asked.
After pondering for a moment, Anthony looked into the distance and said with great certainty, “No matter what he says, Magus will never believe him.”
“Perhaps whether he believes it or not isn't important. What's important is that Magus can find an excuse to convince himself to cooperate with them,” Benjamin said pensively.
Anthony glanced at him without denying it and continued to look into the distance.
Seeing the situation, Lindon immediately reached out to stop the person behind him. “Don't worry. Didn't I tell you? This person used to be my good buddy.” As he spoke, he looked back at Magus. “Mag, don't mind him. He's just looking out for me.”
Magus looked at him intently. Indeed, he belonged to the category of people who were not good with words. However, the hatred in his eyes was unmistakable.
At that moment, Lindon walked over to Magus and said, “Mag, I have no choice but to do this. I really need your help this time. Rest assured. Once everything is settled, I won't let you down.”
“What if I don't?” Magus asked.
“No?” Upon hearing that word, Lindon laughed. “Mag, you've never said this word to me before...”
“Stop bringing up the past!” Magus said, word by word. Every word of his seemed to constantly remind Magus of his foolish past.
Seeing his angry expression, the good temper on Lindon's face vanished in an instant. Staring at Magus for a moment, he spoke, “Fine, since it's like this, let's not bring it up again. Let's talk about the current situation. Do you really think you have the right to refuse me now?”
Magus stared at him, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Lindon, if you have the guts, don't use women to threaten me. Let's fight with real swords and guns!”
“Hahaha!” Lindon laughed, looking at him with a sarcastic gaze. “Mag, you're still so naive. Since I can stand on high ground, why should I want to fight you with real swords and guns? What I want is not victory or defeat but absolute submission!”
Watching him laugh so wildly, Magus' fists clenched tightly. In the end, he could not control himself and suddenly swung his fist, fiercely smashing it into Lindon's face.
Denise, who was hidden from view, watched with great excitement and exclaimed, “Magus really did a fantastic job!”
However, Anthony and Benjamin just glanced at her.
“What's wrong?” Denise asked. “Lindon deserves to be beaten like this, hard!”
“Magus's only hurting himself by doing this,” Anthony said.
“That's right! But when your enemy is right in front of you, how many people can actually hold back? Let alone Magus, even I want to give him a couple of punches!” Benjamin said angrily.
“Exactly!” Denise chimed in.
At that moment, they continued to gaze into the distance.
