The man was visibly agitated as he stepped in front of Ezra, bowing deeply in desperation. “Please, let me come back to life. If this continues, I’ll really be wearing the horns!”

The man was none other than Maxwell himself.

On the night Emmanuel had come to kill him, Ezra had anticipated the attack in advance, arranging for a body double to take his place. Maxwell had been forced into hiding, forbidden from revealing himself without Ezra’s explicit orders.

“It’s just a woman!” Ezra scolded, his tone filled with disappointment. “The entire nation will be yours in the future–what woman will you not be able to have?”

“I know, Father! But I can’t stand it any longer!” Maxwell’s eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body seemed to be swelling with rage.

The most dangerous place was often the safest. Even after Magnus returned to the Zelinsky family, Ezra had kept Maxwell hidden within the Zelinsky Residence. Though he hadn’t set foot outside, he had access to advanced surveillance technology, allowing him to monitor everything happening both inside and outside the family estate.

Because of that, he had seen every move Chiara had made in recent days. Just now, through the security feed, he had witnessed Gautier groping her, brazenly holding her waist, before they got into a car together and drove off.

He had been married to her for nearly three years and had never been that intimate with her himself.

Now, he’d be a Dutchman if he continued remaining idle.

“Suck it up!” Ezra warned him again, taking the time to explain his plan in detail. “I deliberately had Magnus cast his vote for Mackenzie Quillen, toppling Teddy Tanner from his position. Better yet, Tanner is now dead. Once your aunt Catherine successfully takes the presidency, she will eventually have no choice but to return power to the Zelinsky family because I have already severed her other options!

“At the same time, I still need to use Magnus. When the time comes, I will lure Emmanuel Lowe to Divine Mountain, ensuring that other forces eliminate both Lowe and Ethan Hunt. That will pave the way for your aunt’s presidency.

“When Lowe is dead. I will make Magnus take the fall painting him as a traitor so that Lowe’s people will Bum tum down. Once Magnus is out of the picture, you will have no more competition, and your political gth will be completely unobstructed!”
