Chapter 856 Blood Feud
Thalia had almost turned the hospital upside down when she suddenly saw a figure sitting on the ground not far away.
She slowed down her pace at the sight of him. After hesitating for a moment, she finally walked toward him. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
\Magus was sitting on the ground with his head down. It looked like he had taken a huge blow. The malicious aura he had when he first saw them was gone, as was the unruly arrogance that made him seem invincible.
Walking up to him, Thalia asked, “Why are you hiding here all by yourself?”
Magus was slightly stunned, but he didn't raise his head.
“I'm talking to you!” Thalia gently nudged him with her foot.
However, he still hung his head and looked defeated.
Seeing that he wasn't speaking, the woman took a deep breath and walked up to him. “I'm talking to you—”
However, before she could finish speaking, Thalia suddenly saw the injuries on his face and shuddered.
“What happened to your face?” she asked. She was about to reach out to take a look, but Magus immediately turned his face away.
Damn!
Thalia had such a fiery temper.
She instantly grabbed his collar. “Did he cause this injury? You saw him, didn't you?”
Magus slowly raised his eyes, looking straight at Thalia, and spoke with a frivolous and mocking tone, “So what if I did?”
“Where is he?” Thalia asked, determined to take that person down.
Magus looked at her with a cold smile. “This matter has nothing to do with you!”
Seeing his utterly devastated expression, Thalia couldn't help but feel irritated. “Magus, didn't you say you hate him? I thought you wanted to kill him with your own hands. Why didn't you just finish him off? I would have respected you so much more if you had done it. So, what's with this pitiful act now?”
Thalia's words struck straight to the depths of his heart.
The look in Magus' eyes suddenly changed as he glared at her.
Seeing his emotional change, Thalia raised an eyebrow and asked, “What's the matter? Did I say something wrong? If you have the guts, show this temper to him instead. What's the point of staring at me like this?” Thalia's cold voice was filled with sarcasm, and it felt like she was trampling on his dignity and rubbing it into the ground.
With a clenched fist, Magus said, enunciating each word, “I will definitely kill him with my own hands. I definitely will!”
Thalia smirked coldly. “He still managed to beat you up after all these years. It's obvious... this is as far as you'll go in life!” With that, she let go of him. Her words and gaze were filled with mockery.
Magus remained silent.
“Alright, since it has nothing to do with me, I won't bother anymore.” Once she finished speaking, Thalia turned around and left.
“Thalia!” Magus suddenly called out to stop her.
She glanced back and fixed her eyes on him. “Is there anything else?”
Magus' lips moved hesitantly, and after a moment, he said, “Can you... take Lina away? I've heard that your boyfriend is very powerful. Can you please save her?”
Upon hearing his pleading voice, Thalia turned around and looked at him. “What about you?” she asked.
Magus kept his gaze at her and stayed silent.
Thalia probably knew what he was thinking, and she smiled and asked, “Did that person threaten you with Lina again?”
“No!”
“Then, why would you ask me to take her away?”
“I just want you guys to save her!”
“Why didn't you think of this before all of this happened?” Thalia asked. Her relentless questioning left Magus momentarily at a loss for words.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at him with great interest. “You want me to bring Lina away, so you can go all out to find that person without any worries, right?”
Magus' eyes flashed with a hint of complexity, but he did not deny it.
“So, do you think this is the best way to help Lina?” Thalia asked.
“Well, what else can I do?” Magus questioned softly in response.
“Have you ever thought about what would happen to Lina if something happened to you? Forget whether she can be cured or not. What if she actually recovered and came back to look for you, only to learn that something happened to you? Do you think she could go on living?” Thalia replied.
At the thought of this, Magus' deep voice choked up as he said, “So, take her away, and after she's cured, don't let her come back. Just let her stay there.”
“Then, I really can't agree to this. The responsibility is too great, and I can't bear it!”
“Thalia, please, I'm begging you!”
“Are you expecting me to agree just because you beg? Magus, is our relationship with each other really that good? Or have you forgotten how you spoke to me when you first laid eyes on me?” Thalia asked, looking at him as she questioned him.
She believed she could get along quite well with him, even though they had only met briefly previously. However, the change in him this time was too significant for her to comprehend. So much so that she even thought she might have idealized him too much.
Magus clenched his fists tightly, struggling to hold back his overwhelming emotions. “I know I'm the one who wronged you, but please, I beg you, take her away. Whatever I owe you, I'll repay it in my next life no matter what I have to do!”
Thalia looked at him with an indescribable sadness in her eyes. Once a spirited and lively young man, he had now become a shadow of his former self.
The woman suppressed her emotions and said coldly, “Don't do that. I, Thalia, have never fallen for things like this. Next life? Who knows if there even is a next life? I've never believed in such illusory things. If you need to pay me back for anything, let it be now,” Thalia said.
Magus looked up at her and asked, “What do you want me to do?”
“It's simple. Just join us!” she answered.
Magus looked at her with cold eyes.
“Join us, and both your life and Lina's will be safe!” Thalia said to him, emphasizing each word.
“What I've always wanted is not just to save my life!” Magus said coldly, staring at her. All these years, he had been searching for him, but it was as if he had vanished into thin air. No matter how hard Magus looked, he couldn't find him. I must get my revenge now that he has reappeared.
“But if you really could kill him, you wouldn't be talking so much nonsense with me!” Thalia said to him.
Magus clenched his fists tightly. Although he didn't want to admit it, Thalia was right.
At that moment, Anthony, who was watching from behind, walked toward them. “Magus, if you have any concerns, you can tell us. Perhaps, we can help you!”
Magus looked up, his gaze meeting Anthony's. After a brief moment, he said, “If you really want to help me, then help me take Lina away. I can handle the rest myself!”
Watching him stubbornly persist, Thalia wished she could beat him up. “Magus, do you even understand what it means to be the big winner? It's about gaining the most with the least sacrifice. We've all said we'd help you. All you have to do is tell us what's going on and accept our help. In the end, you can live happily with Lina. Why are you being so obstinate about it?”
Magus looked up at her. “I have such deep-seated hatred for him that I must get revenge myself!”
