Chapter 2039

Bang! Bang!

Gunshots echoed through the night, shattering the stillness of the hunting

grounds as the relentless hunt continued under the moonlit sky.

“Ash, you’re amazing! You’ve taken down another Arctic wolf!” Maxwell kept

showering Ashton with praise, fueling her confidence. “Your performance

tonight will shock all the other players. After this, the elite circles of Zovince

will be buzzing about you, a true heroine among women!”

He knew Ashton well enough to recognize that her pride and sense of

heroism thrived on such compliments. She enjoyed being recognized as

strong and capable.

Ashton felt a genuine rush of happiness. It had been so long since she

experienced this kind of thrill and excitement. She had realized recently that

her cold personality had distanced her from others. With no close friends or

onfidantes, she often missed out on the joys most people took for granted.

Her pursuit of love had been fruitless, leaving her feeling a bit lost and even

slightly depressed. Now, with Maxwell back in her life, stirring her emotions,

she felt alive again.

“Your shooting is pretty accurate too, but don’t count your kills with mine. I

want to beat Nathan fair and square!” Ashton said proudly.

“Haha, Ash, that’s what I love about you! Always so honorable!” Maxwell kept

flattering her, but inside, he found her naivety almost laughable. To him she

was just a babe in the woods, the kind of woman who, as a cop, might rise

through the ranks based on her physical prowess but would never have the

strategic acumen to lead. In fact, one of the reasons Ashton had resigned

from the police force was that she’d hit a dead end in her career–unable to

advance further and unwilling to take orders from those she didn’t respect.

“Alright, you should replace a place to rest for a while. The terrain up ahead looks

dangerous,” Ashton suggested, trying to subtly ditch Maxwell again.

She had been moved by his words earlier, wanting to relive some of their

past happiness, but deep down, she didn’t want to get entangled with him

again. Her head might have heated up at the moment, but it would

eventually cool down–especially on a cold, snowy night like this. She didn’t

believe Maxwell would ever truly leave Chiara, and she had no desire to be

labeled a homewrecker. Once the game was over, she planned to draw a

clear line between them again.

“Ash, I told you, I just want to stay by your side,” Maxwell insisted, gripping her

hand tightly once more. His plan was to completely rekindle her feelings for

him that night. He believed he had already made significant progress and

ist needed a bit more effort to fully win her back.

But Ashton coolly pulled her hand away. “You’re slowing me down. If I want to

beat Nathan tonight, I can’t have any distractions.” With that, she marched off

alone into the night, leaving Maxwell standing there, dumbfounded. He hadn’t

expected her to change–to become someone who was no longer so easily

manipulated.

“Looks like you’ve made a fool of yourself, Zelinsky,” a voice suddenly came

from the shadows. Chiara, who had been following them, finally revealed

herself. With her exceptional skills as a Lannister, Ashton hadn’t sensed her

presence at all.

Seeing his wife’s icy gaze, Maxwell forced a lough “Darling, everything fm

doing is for the greater good. Once I get the Dragon Tome, it’s di yours?

Chiara let out a cold snort. While she always maintained an air of superiority

around Maxwell, the endless flattery from her legal husband had caused her

to develop some feelings for him, no matter how minor

“You pathetic liar. I bet you’re just trying to seduce that woman into bed,” she

hissed.

“How could you think that?” Maxwell quickly denied it. “Do you take me for

someone like Nathan, that womanizing playboy? I’m only doing this for the

Dragon Tome, my dear. Don’t be jealous!”

“Jealous? Me?” Chiara’s eyes flashed with malice. “I’m here to tell you to take

advantage of the chaos tonight and… deal with Nathan!” She made a slicing

motion across her throat to drive home her point.

Maxwell’s face went pale with shock. He quickly glanced around to ensure no

one was nearby before pulling his wife to the side.

“Chiara, are you out of your mind? Killing Nathan would ignite a war! The

Zelinsky family might wield considerable political power, but the Chapman

family is incredibly wealthy. If the two families went to war, no one can

predict the outcome!” he said, visibly agitated.

Chiara gave him a disdainful look. “You really have no ambition, do you? Do

you think becoming the heir of the Zelinsky family, defeating Magnus, is the

pinnacle of your life’s achievements?”

Maxwell flinched at her words, realizing that she had a far grander vision than

he had anticipated. He quickly asked, “Wait… are you suggesting… killing

Nathan is part of a bigger plan?”

Maxwell wasn’t a fool. The dull–witted persona he displayed was a facade,

something his father had drilled into him from a young age. His father always

said, “Those who shine too brightly too soon are doomed to die young.”

Maxwell had lived by this principle his entire life, using his “dim–wittedness” to

win over Chiara and eventually his father and the elders of the Zelinsky

family, securing his position as heir. Now, however, he was starting to realize

that Chiara’s ambitions were far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Sure enough, Chiara’s beautiful, icy eyes gleamed with cold ambition. She

sneered, “Do you know why I married you? It’s because you’re the heir c

political family, a man with a real chance of becoming president.”

Even though Maxwell had already guessed her intentions, hearing Chiara say

aloud made his jaw drop. He inhaled sharply, the icy air of the night cutting

into his lungs. President? That was a goal so lofty, so unattainable!

“Don’t act surprised. I don’t believe for a second you haven’t thought about it,

Chiara said, seeing right through him.

Maxwell admitted, “I’ve thought about it, but… I never thought it could actually

happen.”

“If you kill Nathan, the opportunity will present itself,” Chiara said, her eyes

colder than the snow around them. “You didn’t think I came here tonight just

to watch you flirt with that woman, did you?”

“Darling, I still don’t understand,” Maxwell shook his head, still confused. “HoW

does killing Nathan give me a shot at becoming president?”

You’re calmer than Magnus, but in terms of intelligence, you still fall short,”

Chiara said with a sharp glare before explaining further. “Catherine, your

aunt, is a Zelinsky. Your family has been grooming her for her current position,

not Teddy Tanner. So naturally, her loyalty lies with the Zelinsky family.”

Maxwell nodded in agreement. It was common knowledge that most women

who married into other families still held strong loyalties to their own

bloodline.

“If she becomes president, who do you think she’ll prepare to be her

successor?” Chiara continued, watching as Maxwell’s eyes widened in

realization.

The Tanner family was filled with incompetents, aside from Yung Tanner,

Catherine wouldn’t have anyone capable of grooming within the Tanner

family. That meant her focus would shift elsewhere,

“Nathan is the disciple of the Wolf Warrior, who is almost certainly Emmanuel

Lowe, the same Mr. Wolf currently protecting Ethan, Emmanuel will

undoubtedly try to secure the Chapman family’s support through Nathan. But

if Nathan dies, that connection is severed. Do you understand now?”

“I get it now, my dear!” Maxwell’s eyes lit up as he grasped the plan. “Without

the support of the Four Great Aristocratic Families, Ethan doesn’t stand a

chance of becoming president. I’ve never liked that punk Nathan anyway. For

the sake of our future, I’ll kill him tonight!”

Seeing the fierce determination in Maxwell’s eyes, Chiara didn’t need to say

anything more. She simply asked, “Do you have a plan to kill himp And you

know it has to be done without anyone suspecting us

his is our specialty,” Maxwell said with a cold smile. It will be a little ticky,

but with such high stakes, we’ll take the risk. We’ve done it before, and we can

do it again.
