Chapter 542 The Deadly Duo

“You wouldn’t.” Lysander was certain. “Only Harry would do such a foolish thing as perish together. Not you. Even if you wanted to kill me, you’d find a way to protect yourself.

If I had his family resources, I wouldn’t necessarily be any worse off. If we joined forces, we would be an unstoppable force. Is there anything in this world we couldn’t accomplish?”

“Do you really think Josiah is some kind of saint?” Zachary scoffed with a cold laugh. “He only plays the good
