Chapter 111
111 Hellblazer Family (IV)
Magnus kept smiling after hearing Zarak’s threat, but a very sharp light appeared in his eyes.
“Is Lord Zarak going to protect him from now on and avenge him if he perishes?”
Zarak immediately shook his head, making it clear that Magnus had things wrong.
“I have never seen this brat before, so there is no way I would spend every waking moment protecting him. As for avenging his death, while I will kill any traitor in the army, I am not so free as to go around butchering every man that killed a soldier.”
Magnus’ eyes grew even sharper as he heard that, and some confusion appeared on his face.
“If you are not the one that will make me regret going after him, then do you mean the son of a lowly concubine could defeat me?”
Levi’s eyes burst with killing intent as he heard how Magnus referred to his mother. The wrath was so immense that it seemed he would jump forward at any second, but a hand landed on his shoulder before he could take a single step.
The one that stopped Levi was Abin, and the young man was surprised to feel that he could not move a single muscle under the weight of that hand.
Even after that, Magnus still did not look at Levi and kept his eyes on Zarak.

“You are also wrong in that. That brat’s talent and wits can not equal yours. Of course, that could change in the future, but as things stand, he has no chance against you.”
