“What's the point, if not victory?”

The words bring Magnifico to cock his head over his shoulder, blink slowly—processing, really, what that in fact means coming from a man like . . . him. “With all due respect, my dear Lupin”—oh, and how he chooses that phrase very deliberately, leaving it entirely up to interpretation how much of that is actually due—“I can't in confidence agree that your version of 'victory' quite lines up with mine . . . or many others', frankly.”

He turns around fully to face the other, appraises him with a slow onceover while he deliberates his next words. “Surely you know not all of us have the luxury of selfishness.” His tone sharpens ever so slightly, though whether it's directed at the thief or himself . . . even Magnifico doesn't spare the time to find out. “There are bigger things than the next great heist to satisfy your juvenile need for a thrill.”
