Chapter 231
Why didn''t Magnus just go after Callum directly if he wanted to brawl?
Magnus and Callum had already tumbled to the ground, wrestling, and rolling around. Their once crisp
suits were now crumpled, and their handsome appearances were long gone.
James stood by,ughing, but kept shouting, "Magnus, beat the hell out of him; let him taste a piece of
our grit."
However, James may have been celebrating a bit too early. Callum was not a pushover. All these
years, he had been practicing various self-defense skills and had never considered Magnus a real
threat.
But to be honest, Magnus was indeed a handful.
Soon, both Magnus and Callum had their fair share of bruises, either a swollen eye or a broken lip,
looking utterly disheveled. Their clothes had long since been reduced to wrinkled rags.
Still, neither was willing to back down, continuing to roll around on the ground, each trying to twist the
other''s wrist or fingers.
Since they hadn''t received any orders, their men simply stood by, watching the two men fight.
Natalia emerged from the castle to find this scene unfolding before her. She could never have imagined
that these two normally high and mighty men would now be like schoolboys brawling after school.
"Stop it, you two! Cal, stop fighting with him." Natalia pleaded, bending down to try and separate the
two men.
Magnus and Callum, afraid of hurting Natalia, finally stopped their brawl and stood up, ring at each
other.
Looking at Callum with a bruised eye and then at Magnus with a swollen nose, Natalia felt both
frustrated and amused. Today was supposed to be her and Callum''s engagement day, but who would
have thought that Magnus, the wildcard, woulde and throw a wrench in the ns?
"Are you guys naive? Brawling in front of everyone, don''t you feel embarrassed?" Natalia reprimanded
the two men with exasperation, unable toprehend their actions.
Seeing Natalia emerge from the castle in her beautiful dress, Magnus'' expression darkened. He pulled
Natalia into his arms, holding her tightly and whispering, "Sweetheart,e home with me, please? I
won''t let you get engaged to this jerk. You''re mine, and no one can take you away from me!"

Callum was caught off guard when Magnus pulled Natalia away. He reached out to grab Natalia but
was evaded by Magnus. Callum quickly advanced a few steps and pointed at Magnus, shouting, "You
despicable bastard, let go of my girl!"
But Magnus ignored him, focusing instead on Natalia in his arms. "Darling, I''d do anything for you. If
you don''te with me today, I''ll use this Gatling gun to blow up Callum''s castle."
Natalia heard Magnus'' threatening words, and she felt an intense dislike for him. Was he capable of
anything beyond threats? This annoying man.
She tried to struggle free from Magnus'' grasp but found herself unable to escape. Frustrated, she said,
"Magnus, I''ve made it clear to you that we''re over. Can you please get a grip and stop interfering in my
life?"
"You want me to give up on you? Not possible, darling! Don''t you care about me at all? If that''s true,
why did youe to visit me when I was sickst time? Nat, you can''t let go of me!"
Magnus'' words were so gentle that Natalia was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Callum was seething. Today was supposed to be his big day, and Magnus had spoiled it
all. Without thinking, he charged at Magnus and Natalia, intending to rescue Natalia from Magnus''
arms.
But before Callum could reach them, he was stopped by James.
James cracked his knuckles, stared at Callum, and said with a warning tone in his voice, "Now listen
here, pal, I mean, Duke Callum, I don''t think you want any unpleasantness that might make the
headlines and get the Queen involved, do you?"
Callum red at James. "Who the hell are you? Magnus''pdog?"
James couldn''t help but tease him, "Well, I''m not a dog. My zodiac is Cancer, so at most, I can be his
running crab, not apdog.”
After saying this, James startedughing so hard that he almost cried.
Callum looked at James, who wasughing hysterically, and thought that birds of a feather indeed
flocked together. This guy was just as crazy as Magnus.
Callum couldn’t help but say, “I don’t care if you’re apdog or a running crab. But this is my turf, and
you guys are acting too arrogantly. Do you really take me for an easy target?”
James stoppedughing and adopted a humble demeanor. “Of course not, Duke Callum. It’s just that a
gentleman doesn’t covet another’s beloved. You took Natalia, and my friend, of course, wants to have a
word with you. He’s just being modest. If it were me, I would have already blown up your castle.”
James’ words nearly choked Callum. Did he just hear that right? This guy just called Magnus a modest
man.
What a joke! This was the biggest insult to the word ''modest''!
This young man was tantly arrogant and was even threatening to blow up Callum’s castle. Did they
think Callum was a pushover?
Callum narrowed his eyes and gestured to the men behind him. "Since our friends here look down on
us, maybe they should show us what they''ve got?"
"Right!"
The line of men standing behind Callum quietly agreed, setting down their sniper rifles. With a series of
disassembles and reassembles, they conjured up a mortaruncher from thin air.
Well, it was a game of hardball indeed. Once the two sides began their battle, an explosive disy of
power was guaranteed!
James, being the savvy man he was, recognized the toughpetition they were up against. He
turned to Magnus. "Boss, it''s your call now. Do we engage?"
Magnus didn''t even bat an eyelid at the looming confrontation. He turned his gaze back to Natalia,
cradled in his arms, and asked softly, "Darling, what do you think? Do we fight or not?"
