He and Maguire had known each other for nearly a year.
They had gotten along exceptionally well, with similar ways of doing business and the same interests.
More importantly, Maguire's background was spotless. There had been nothing suspicious about him.
They had worked plenty of jobs together, the kind that could cost them their heads.
The man had even saved Jiezhen's life twice in moments of crisis.
Granted, Maguire spent lavishly and was always at odds with the Moon-Drinking Azure Wolf,
but overall, he had seemed like a partner Jiezhen could trust with his back—and with his biggest plans.
Jiezhen had spent nearly a year making sure Maguire could be trusted.

Jiezhen had thought himself cautious enough, patient enough, smart enough.

"They'll chew your soul to pieces!"
Hearing those furious, venomous curses
