    Chapter 834 Living The High Life


    Anthony walked up to them, his palm-sized face stered with a gentlemanly smile. “What do you


    think? Would you consider it?” He was addressing Magus with these words. Anthony''s gaze fixed on


    him as if he had all the patience in the world.


    Magus''s gaze swept over him, but he didn''t say a word.


    The man half-lying on the ground let out a soft chuckle. Regardless of whether his business with


    Magus could continue, he knew that Magus would not be leaving with them.


    It had always been like this for the past few years.


    With that thought, he smiled. “You might as well forget it. He won''t go with you!”


    “If he doesn''t go with me, then your source of wealth won''t be cut off, right?” Anthony queried.


    The man didn''t expect Anthony to be so straightforward.


    He pursed his lips and directed his gaze at Anthony. “Regardless of whether our coboration can


    continue, he won''t go with you. Do you truly think money can buy everything?”


    Anthony remained calm andposed, exuding the demeanor of a quintessential gentleman. “Money


    might not be able to solve everything, but it sure can solve most of it!” As he spoke, his gaze returned


    to Magus. Despite being so young, his words were impactful. “Not only can I provide financial support,


    but I can also find the best doctors for her treatment, personnel you would never have imagined!”


    Magus was about to refuse, yet his eyes still lit up briefly upon hearing these words.


    This was undoubtedly a very tempting proposition.


    The man''s gaze turned to Magus. He knew very well that this woman was his Achilles heel. The reason


    they had remained business partners until now was that he needed to treat her illness and was in


    urgent need of money. Otherwise, he might not have been able to reach him at all.


    He spoke, “You don''t believe what they''re saying, do you?”


    Magus stared down Anthony and Thalia, who stood behind him.


    He didn''t know much about Anthony but understood Thalia to an extent. She was a genuine, bold, and


    sentimental person. The child must demonstrate certain excellent qualities for her to follow him


    wherever he goes.


    However...


    Anthony spoke up at Magus'' silence. “Magus, I know how ambitious you are. Do you n to spend


    your whole life here with such a partner?”


    The man immediately retorted, “What''s wrong with partnering with me?”


    Thalia eyed him. “Shut up!”

    He immediately zipped up at how imposing she was.


    Anthony continued. “Since you''re looking for a business partner, why not choose me? I promise not to


    force you to do anything you don''t want to and that you have the right to leave freely. I would never


    betray my buddies nor let anyone take the fall for me. None of these would even be a possibility!”


    Magus'' searingly depthless gaze prated Anthony.


    They must havee prepared since they managed to find their way here. As such, it wasn''t


    surprising to him that they were privy to such matters.


    “Everyone whoes here says the same thing. Why should I believe you?” He asked.


    Anthony knew he''d sessfully hooked Magus since he stayed on instead of leaving. Therefore, he


    pondered before adding, “I might not be able to prove that I''m telling the truth, but I can assure you that


    I''m not like those before who came looking for you. They''re after money, the one thing I have an


    abundance of. Therefore, the issue of you being a scapegoat would be non-existent!”


    Magus'' curiosity was piqued. “Then what are you after if not for money?”


    Anthony considered this, and his face darkened slightly at the thought of Natasha. “I need to save


    someone who means the world to me!”


    “Save someone?” Magus looked at him in disbelief.


    “That''s right. I need a team to assist me when the timees to save her!”


    Thalia gave Anthony aplicated look from behind him.


    Magus uttered, “In the end, you''re still looking for a group willing tobor for you, aren''t you?”


    “I would be lying if I said no, but that was not my intention from the start, which was to utilize


    everyone''s strengths to achieve my goals. It''s the same principle as people working to get paid a


    sry. What''s the difference between working for me and in a corporate setting under a boss? Aren''t


    both choicesbor of a sort?”


    Magus was dumbfounded.


    Anthony was still not done. “No one will be unfairly treated or be expected to die for me. However, this


    job is undoubtedly perilous since we will face off against a group of viinous individuals. Thus, I


    sincerely invite you to join our team. You can consider it a high-risk job with high returns. But it''s up to


    you whether to join or not!”


    Magus pursed his lips and refrained frommenting for an extended moment.


    Just then, Thalia took a step toward him. Her eyes seemed to be filled with disappointment. “Magus, I


    never thought you''d stoop so low one day!”


    Magus'' attention shifted to her.


    “Beforeing here, I confidently bet with them that you wouldn''t be the kind of person who conspires


    with others to swindle money. But I was sorely mistaken!”


    Magus sneered at her usatory tone. “What''s wrong? Swindling is nothing to me. If someone paid


    me right now, I''d evenmit murder and arson!”


    Thalia''s eyes narrowed. “How did you end up like this?”


    Magus'' sneer stiffened. “Why not? I don''t see any issue with that.”


    “You—”


    Magus retorted calmly, “Don''t look at me like that. I''m not as noble as you think. After all, I''m not like


    you bunch who possess the right to fight against this world. I have nothing and am but a ve to


    money. Do I have any other choice? Perhaps I should join another team, be used and discarded, and


    then be locked away for another decade?”


    Thalia was rendered speechless.


    “Who doesn''t want to live a noble and dignified life? The question is whether I qualify for it or not?”


    Magus enunciated his words carefully.


    Thalia grabbed his cor and was about to say something when a figure suddenly rushed up from


    behind and stood directly before her. “Please don''t attack him, Miss. I don''t know what he did to you,


    but I beg you to let him go. If he cheated you of your money, we will find a way topensate you. It


    was all for my sake. I beg of you...” The figure knelt before her determinedly.
