Chapter 324

Magnus felt a wetness at his nose. He wiped it with his hand, seeing blood smeared on his palm. It was then he realized that Callum had injured him. He looked up with an irritable glare, snapping at Callum, “What the hell is wrong with you, Callum?”

James also rushed over, ready to defend his friend. He squared off with Callum, saying, “If you’re itching for a fight, Callum, I’m game! But you’re asking for trouble, coming here to our turf‘

Callum was seething with anger Ignoring James, he pushed James away with a forceful hand, swinging his fist at Magnus again “Magnus, I can’t believe I let Natalia go with you! Look at how you’ve treated her. You’re a total screw–up! You’ve got her on the run again. If you want a fight. Magnus, then let’s do it. Don’t hide behind your lapdog!”

James was taken aback at being referred to as a dog. His anger flared up, and he stomped his foot, a blade popping out from the sole of his shoe The blade gleamed menacingly as James swung his leg, aiming for Callum’s back

Callum heard the whoosh of the blade, ducked just in time, and shot James a glare. “A sneak attack? You’re a real piece of work!”
