Chapter 363 In-Depth Understanding
Magnus carried too many burdens. In the midst of capital slaughter, no one could climb to the throne unscathed and with clean hands.
He gently covered Juniper's eyes with his hand and said with a faint smile, "Those things are not good things, nor are they a past worth boasting about. Juniper, are you sure you want to hear it?"
In fact, he didn't want to talk about those unpleasant past events.
But if Juniper really wanted to know, he wouldn't mind telling her.
They had agreed to build trust, and the first step in building trust was to fully expose one's darkest and most miserable past, to completely dissect oneself and let the other person see through it.
Juniper removed his hand from her eyes, her watery eyes firm and calm, "I want to know."
Magnus's eyes were deep, but he smiled faintly, "You might not be able to sleep after hearing it."
Juniper had an idea of how heavy it would be.
But when she actually heard him speak of those past events in a calm voice, it was naked cruelty and slaughter.
Juniper's face turned pale, and a dull pain tugged at her heart.
He was proud and unsociable by nature, getting beaten and bullied was just the norm.
Knocking over his food, forcing him to pick up bread from the ground to eat, such small things were even more commonplace.
He leaned against her pillow, looking at her profile, and said slowly, "07853 was my code in prison, and it followed me for a long time."
"When I first got out, I went to negotiate a business deal. I didn't know what kind of client Robert and the others had connected with, but they started mocking me right away. They called out 07853, and I responded almost subconsciously."
"That group of clients was very happy because I amused them."
"I should have been tougher and not done business with them, but I did. Later, I manipulated things behind the scenes, causing that company to go bankrupt. The person who called out '07853' never appeared in my business circle again."
"Later, SY rose up, and no one dared to mention the code anymore."
"In fact, if someone were to call out that code now, I might still respond subconsciously. That code left too deep an impression on me."
He stared into Juniper's eyes, peeling back those long-scarred wounds word by word.
Even if a scar had healed for a long time, when it was reopened, it was still bloody inside.
Magnus spoke of the past very calmly.
But Juniper was already in tears.
Her eyes were wet and red, her voice choked, "What about Agency 719? The things Agency 719 needs to do are so dangerous, why did you agree to join?"
Magnus said lightly, "I met Elbert, introduced by Robert's grandfather."
Juniper knew that Robert's grandfather had worked in the government, holding a high position, but had retired due to age.
"Elbert had done a background check on me early on. I helped him bring down a Celestia Bank, and then I smoothly entered the ranks of Agency 719. As for why I agreed to join..."
He smiled, "At that time, I was in the darkest period of my life, it felt like in the whole world, I had only myself left."
Juniper's eyes trembled, and she tightly grasped his hand.
Magnus looked at her and said, "After getting out, I built SY with my own hands. There were bumps, but overall it went quite smoothly. At that time, I was like a walking corpse, only working and working, maybe I didn't value my life much. So I thought if this worthless life were to die in an Agency 719 mission, it would be quite worthwhile, and dying would be considered honorable."
He spoke lightly, but it was like a sharp blade, stabbing Juniper's heart again and again.
Magnus raised his hand and wiped the tears from her face with his thumb, "Juniper, do you still want to hear more?"
Juniper threw her arms around his neck, tears falling, crying so hard she was shaking, "Magnus, I regret listening."
His past was too tragic.
So tragic that Juniper couldn't even accept that it was caused by her and Alexander.
But Magnus wasn't telling her this to make her feel guilty.
He gently patted her back and whispered in her ear, "You now know all about my past. The things you should know and shouldn't know, you know them all. If anyone says Harper's past is bad, you tell her, Magnus's past is worse."
Juniper shook her head desperately.
Magnus was not worthless at all, how could Magnus be a worthless person?
Magnus stood in the dazzling light.
He was the person Juniper couldn't forget no matter how hard she tried.
