Chapter 2259 A Man Impossible to Read!

By the time Magnus returned to the Zelinsky Residence, discussions about the night’s events were already circulating through the estate.

“Have you heard? Someone fell to their death at the Swan & Ember Hotel–it was Mr. Maxwell and Otto!” “What? How is that possible? Didn’t Emmanuel already kill Mr. Maxwell?”

“Yeah, but somehow, he came back to life. Now, even the police don’t know how to handle the situation…”

As Magnus walked past, the murmurs ceased immediately, and within seconds, Rudy appeared before Magnus.

“The patriarch requests your presence in his study, Mr. Magnus.”

“Heh, good luck, Magnus,” Blake smirked from behind, his voice dripping with schadenfreude. “I hope I still see you alive tomorrow.”

Magnus chuckled casually and followed Rudy.

When he entered the study, he found Ezra staring at a screen, his expression unreadable.

“Sir, I’ve brought Mr. Magnus.”

“Alright. Leave us. See to it that no one disturbs my son and I.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Rudy withdrew from the room, closing the door behind him.

Magnus turned slightly grim. If he had been any less observant, he would’ve missed Ezra calling them father and son. The patriarch could’ve chosen any other words, yet he didn’t.

Did he say them with a purpose?

“Magnus, was tonight your doing?” Ezra asked without looking up.

There was no emotion in his tone: His presence was as unfathomable as the endless night.

“I don’t know what you mean, Father,” Magnus replied with a bow.

Ezra finally lifted his gaze to him. “Don’t bother playing the fool in front of me. You finally killed Maxwell. You’ve ultimately won this battle that has lasted for over two decades.”
