Chapter 2230 A Turning Point in History – The Third Wave Begins

“War? Are you serious? A war in Chanaea?” Hattie’s eyes widened.

For decades, the country enjoyed peace. Other than small internal conflicts, it had stayed far away from global wars. Over time, both Chanaeans and the rest of the world started believing that Chanaea was untouchable–that war simply wouldn’t happen here.

However, Magnus‘ words shattered that illusion.

Magnus responded firmly, “Yes. To truly understand what the Four Great Aristocratic Families and Shoiya aim for, we need to zoom out and look at the global picture.”

His confidence was unwavering. “The world is shifting in ways we haven’t seen in a century. Tensions between powerful nations are reaching a breaking point. The Third Wave of War is just around the corner. Chanaea and Shoiya have been enemies for centuries. They will be at the center of it when it begins. A showdown between them is inevitable, and it will come sooner than people think.”

Hattie’s expression hardened. She thought, Some might dismiss this as paranoia or fear–mongering, but not Magnus. If he’s saying this, it’s not just a possibility–it’s practically guaranteed.

Magnus continued, “As for Yorick’s third reason for being here, it’s about settling old scores with Chanaea’s strongest fighters–especially the Silver Dragon Spear Saint.”

Hattie had expected that.

As Magnus started to explain Yorick’s fourth objective, she found herself losing interest.

Yorick was a force of destruction–that was all she needed to know.

What really caught her attention was something else.

“You think the Lannister Family could turn against Teddy and Catherine?” Hattie asked, her gaze sharpening.

Magnus replied without hesitation, “Absolutely! The Lannister Family wasn’t always a martial family. Hundreds of years ago, they were deeply involved in politics. Yet after nearly being wiped out in a political purge, they abandoned politics entirely and devoted themselves to martial arts instead.”

“They’re only siding with the Tanner Family now because of Gautier’s manipulation and their long- standing grudge against Emmanuel. That’s why they’re refusing to support Ethan. However, their stance could instantly change if Teddy and Catherine fall. Aligning with Ethan might be their best shot at finally getting revenge against Emmanuel,”

Hattie nodded slowly, considering his words.

Magnus added, “Plus, despite all the chaos happening i Zovince, none of the true elders of the Lannister Family have made a move.”

Háttie took a sharp breath, thinking, Wow… Magnus always seems to know things before they even unfold.

Still, her biggest concern lay elsewhere.
