Chapter 230
As Natalia walked, she was wracked with anxiety, completely bewildered as to where Magnus had
acquired a Gatling gun. After all, this was England, not the Wild West. If they were to start a full-fledged
shoot-out, wouldn't they be thrown straight into a British prison?
Natalia's concerns were not unfounded. The moment she had left Orange Horizon, Magnus had hastily
called James, "Bring the organization's weapons immediately. Someone wants to propose to my wife!
I'll make sure he has nowhere to run!"
If Callum wanted to marry Magnus’ wife, he wouldn’t get the chance to because Magnus threatened to
level his castle!
James was utterly flabbergasted, unable to comprehend why Magnus would want him to bring
weapons to help him reclaim his wife. What could have happened to provoke Magnus into deploying
the newly-acquired Gatling gun?
However, James observed Magnus' furious expression and wisely decided it was best to keep his
thoughts to himself and agreed readily. Who cared, it was a good chance to test this bad boy's power!
Not only would James bring six Gatling guns, but he'd also bring a dozen planes if Magnus asked,
without any hesitation.
The next morning, James and his men hauled the six Gatling guns to England.
Was all this firepower just to reclaim Natalia? Wouldn't it be easier to sneak into the castle and whisk
Natalia away? Why would they make such a show of force with their prized weapons? Wasn’t this a bit
of an overkill?
But, facing Magnus' dark glare, James kept his opinions to himself. He simply followed Magnus' orders,
directing his men to surround Callum's castle.
Then, James stood behind Magnus, waiting for the castle's owner to come out and face them. The
stage was set for a showdown, wasn't it?
In no time, things started to go as James predicted. Callum, with a scowl even fouler than the one on
Magnus’ face, stepped out of the castle.
Looking at the line of Gatling guns outside his property, Callum finally believed what Rita had told him.
He'd thought Rita had been exaggerating, but it seemed she had actually downplayed the situation.
"Magnus, what the hell are you trying to do?" Callum stood there, hands clasped behind his back, with
an air of disdain, finding Magnus' actions as immature as a petulant child's.
Magnus took a couple of steps forward, meeting Callum's gaze. "I'm here to take my wife home,
Callum. If you're smart, you'll return her to me, or else, don't blame me for being rude."
"Ha," Callum couldn't help but scoff. "Magnus, have you lost your mind? Natalia is no longer your wife.
Today is the day she and I get engaged. If you're here to join the feast, I welcome you with open arms.
But if you're here to cause trouble, well, I won’t go soft on you."
With that, Callum signaled, and a line of well-dressed bodyguards emerged from behind him. These
bodyguards moved with cold, military precision, an aura of lethal intent surrounding them. Each one of
them held a sniper rifle.
Under Callum's command, they were his most trusted aides, ready to execute any order without
hesitation.
Although Magnus brought six Gatling guns, the advantage between long-range and close combat was
unclear. If a fight were to break out, it was uncertain who would come out on top.
But one thing was clear – It would result in a bloodbath.
Magnus looked at the hardened mercenaries and laughed heartily.
"Callum, you're really overestimating yourself. If you dare to make a move, I'll level your castle and
chapel. But I'm only here to bring my wife home. If I can't accomplish this, then, this day next year will
be the anniversary of your death!" Magnus' eyes were filled with a deadly chill, like a demon straight
out of hell.
His love for Natalia was bone-deep, and he wouldn't stand by and watch her marry another man. Not
unless he was dead. No, even if he died, he would want their love to live on. She could never marry
anyone else.
Magnus knew he was horribly selfish, but love was about possession. He could never be
magnanimous.
The thought of Natalia becoming another man's wife made Magnus want to burn the world down! He
loved Natalia with all his heart and soul. He wouldn't tolerate her thinking about another man, nor could
he bear her constant avoidance and escape.
All he wanted was to keep her by his side, forever belonging to him alone.
Facing Magnus' blatant provocation, Callum didn't flinch. So what if Magnus had brought six Gatling
guns? Even if Magnus dared to unleash such destructive weapons in England, the worst that could
happen would be half his castle getting blown up. Callum would never let Natalia return to such a vile
man.
Natalia was so pure and innocent, and how could she bear such a wicked man like Magnus?
Therefore, Callum boldly confronted Magnus. "Humph, do you think I'm scared of you? If you want to
fight, let's not beat around the bush. But let me tell you, even if you win by some fluke, Natalia will
never go back with you. She told me that the person she detests the most in this world is you, a selfish
freak!"
Callum deliberately provoked Magnus, ignoring his threats. The conversation reached a deadlock, with
neither man willing to back down. A showdown seemed inevitable.
"Since you won't let her go, I'll make you pay!"
Magnus was enraged by Callum, especially by his last comment. He felt like he was on the verge of
losing his mind. What kind of spell had this damned Callum cast on his wife? He needed to get her
back as soon as possible!
With that thought, Magnus looked at Callum's face, and the more he looked, the angrier he got. He
waved his hand. "Prepare to fire!"
James immediately got ready. His cold eyes were fixed on Callum. This guy was asking for it!
Seeing Magnus get serious, Callum felt a twinge of fear. He was terrified of jeopardizing the innocent
lives in the castle, fearful that such an act would drown him in guilt! This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Come on, Magnus, let's have it out just between you and me! You're not hurting anyone else!" Before
Magnus could even respond, Callum lunged at him, throwing a punch that nearly knocked Magnus off
his feet.
Magnus adjusted his stance, biting his lip in annoyance. Callum had the nerve to launch a surprise
attack. How low!
Infuriated, Magnus retaliated with a punch of his own. Callum blocked Magnus' counterstrike, and the
two of them began grappling with each other. They tussled together, leaving James, who was ready to
fire, completely dumbfounded.
What on earth was Magnus doing? Weren't they supposed to be firing their guns? Instead, the two men
were having a childish brawl.
