#1 Their clash electrified the crowd as they eagerly awaited this long–awaited showdown.
“What should we do? Yosef’s demonic energy strengthens with each fight.
Can Emmanuel hold on?” Beatrix worriedly pondered.
Mackenzie, too, shared the concern, and her hand rested on her belly. She felt that Emmanuel had underestimated Yosef’s prowess.

Yosef felt a sudden dread as he sensed Emmanuel’s sudden intensity, like a blazing fire within him. It was as if Emmanuel’s very essence had ignited and had awakened a formidable spirit within him.

Even old godfather sighed at the sight, while Shane and Frederick couldn’t help but do the same inwardly.
The Yosef they saw in the’ring seemed like a different individual altogether.
The former Yosef was always composed and never exhibited such ferocity in battle. However, the present version, despite heightened strength and speed, had unfortunately regressed in martie ability.

Mackenzie silently prayed for Emmanuel and hoped to grant him an unbeatable power.
Yosef panicked and glanced behind him. At that moment, his heart sank with a profound sense of emptiness. Behind him lay only darkness as his parents‘ voices called out to him, but their faces were obscured. Returning his gaze to Emmanuel, even Queenie, despite meeting her end at his hands, appeared to lend her support to Emmanuel.
“Why? Why is it ending like this?” Yosef spiraled back into madness and lunged at Emmanuel desperately. But no matter his might, he couldn’t land a single blow on Emmanuel.

Emmanuel’s punches seemed to find their target effortlessly and were devoid of any recognizable technique.
Thud!
Yosef hit the ground again, and the noise echoed thunderously.
The crowd stood in stunned silence, unable to even let out a gasp.
“Haha, what kind of move is Emmanuel doing? I can’t understand it at all,” Blake exclaimed in disbelief.
If Yosef couldn’t grasp the moves, how could he possibly counter them?
Ruben, Wyatt, and Nigel were equally astonished.
“This is the Shapelessness technique.” Old godfather sighed and continued, “It has endless variations, yet it is always true to its core. The Shapelessness technique is unbeatable.” Even Santiago chuckled. Emmanuel’s moves were more unpredictable than Jun

“Wow! Emmanuel is amazing! I love you!” Beatrix, who had been holding back all night, finally burst out emotionally. She didn’t care that Mackenzie was right beside her as she jumped up and shouted excitedly.
Mackenzie also tuned out the surrounding noise. Her heart was pounding with anticipation until she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Emmanuel is so incredible!” “Did we win?” The four aunts of the Quillen family were also extremely excited as they hugged tightly together.
Despite her distance from the Quillen family, Hannah couldn’t shake the bitter pang of regret as she observed the united and jubilant women of the Quillen family. She longed to be among them and to share in their excitement. She should have been one of them.
請 In the next moment, Emmanuel advanced step by step toward Yosef, whose eyes reflected not fear but reluctance and confusion. Yosef struggled to comprehend Emmanuel’s immense inner strength.

evec “Go back. Old godfather will forgive you.” Emmanuel didn’t strike him down.
He understood Yosef’s plight – orphaned at a young age, raised in a loveless environment, and rejected by the woman he loved, only to meet his demise at the hands of his rival. Emmanuel empathized and recognized the difficulty of accepting such a fate.

and a beautiful wife who supported him.

As he looked at Emmanuel’s imposing figure, Yosef couldn’t help but envy him as Emmanuel glanced at his wife.
Emmanuel then turned back to Yosef, offering words of comfort. “Old godfather has always considered you family, and you still have Susie. There are plenty of opportunities out there. Queenie may be gone, but there are still many women worth pursuing.” These words gradually lifted the darkness from Yosef’s heart. Without a word, he stood up and quietly exited the boxing ring. It seemed he had come to a realization. Emmanuel didn’t defeat him. But instead, he had been beaten by his shortcomings.

Even Hattie enthusiastically joined the applause. She felt an indescribable thrill and sincere joy for Mackenzie.
“Ms. Quillen, congratulations!” “Ms. Quillen, this is a small token from my Stewart family. Please accept it!” “Ms. Quillen, I’m from Frostvale. Congratulations on your meteoric rise!” A group of influential figures, well–prepared and eager, hurried to the Quillen family viewing area.

Seriously?” Blaze couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Was his father suggesting they go and congratulate their sworn enemies? “If you want to go, go alone. I won’t be joining you.” He stood up and left.
While Stanley appreciated Bobby’s initiative, he found Blaze’s reaction Congratulation disappointing. Despite the circumstances, Blaze remained oblivious as he was consumed by arrogance. It baffled Stanley where Blaze’s unwavering pride stemmed from.

Levi frowned. He sensed the situation was dire.

Yet, they missed a crucial point. They assumed that Yosef would ultimately defeat Emmanuel. This belief held them back from confronting Emmanuel earlier.
Emmanuel’s display of strength had made their efforts to kill him progressively more difficult.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1644-“Are you ready to make a move?” Envoy asked. He had assisted the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in killing numerous adversaries. Still, such deeds were now mere routine for him.
Levi shook his head and cautioned in a hushed tone, “Let’s not rush into anything. The organizers have heightened security measures, and it could spell trouble if we’re caught.” Though they were under the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, they weren’t impervious, particularly in Nuthana’s territory. Should tensions escalate, retreat would be their only recourse.
The award ceremony concluded swiftly, followed by a morning celebration banquet hosted by the Quillen family.
The hosts would organize a champion parade at 8 a.m. the following day, during which the Quillen family would bask in the adoration of tens of thousands on Badlands Island.
Confession “Cheers!” “Haha, this feeling is amazing!” “I’m a Quillen forever. Even in the afterlife, I’ll be one!*
“I love my family, especially Emmanuel!” The celebratory banquet for the Quillen family was held at the organizers‘ hotel. Surprisingly, the most enthusiastic attendees were not Mackenzie and Emmanuel but Beatrix, Shane, Frederick, and Logan.
Sage was secretly thrilled as well, but for Emmanuel, winning the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown championship wasn’t earth–shattering. After all, te were Emmanuel’s past more impressive.
“Emmanuel, join me for a toast. Let’s have a drink together.” Beatrix bubbled with excitement as she persistently urged him to join her.
With Mackenzie abstaining due to her pregnancy, Beatrix saw it as her duty to make up for the lack of drinking.
Confession He felt obligated and reluctantly agreed to indulge Beatrix. Surprisingly, she had a low alcohol tolerance. After just a few drinks, she was completely intoxicated and slumped on the couch.
“Frederick, why don’t you take Beatrix back to her room to rest!” Mackenzie suggested. She had confidence in Frederick’s character.
“Sure thing, Ms. Quillen,” he responded.
“I want to help too!” Shane rushed over anxiously.

Unbeknownst to them, Beatrix’s drunken frenzy intensified and shoved Frederick aside.
“Get lost! You guys are annoying. I have feelings for Emmanuel, so quit pestering me! No matter what, I won’t like any of you!” With those words, the lively atmosphere was abruptly chilled by Beatrix’s loud outburst.
Several aunts stood in stunned silence as they alternated their bewildered glances between Beatrix and Mackenzie.
Emmanuel, too, felt a surge of panic. Who would have guessed that Beatrix had such a low tolerance for alcohol and would blurt out such nonsense when drunk? With her confession so brazenly voiced, the situation became Confession increasingly difficult to manage.
Feeling deeply embarrassed, Frederick awkwardly rubbed his nose. Unlike Shane, Frederick didn’t indulge in daydreams or consider himself worthy of Beatrix’s affection. He had never confessed his feelings. Now, with her unexpected revelation, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
However, Shane remained unfazed and less affected by such circumstances.
Sensing the change in mood, he promptly ushered Beatrix away. “Um… Ms.
Quillen, we’ll leave now. I’ll take care of Ms. Beatrix.” Frederick sighed inwardly and quickly left the awkward scene. Beatrix’s drunken confession had swiftly doused the celebratory mood of the banquet.

He smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. There’s no one else here, and no one knows I’ve come to find you. I won’t attend the Quillen family’s celebration openly, so no one will suspect me.” She narrowed her eyes and asked, “So, why take the risk to find me now?” He whispered, “To show I’m sincerely working for Levi. When your family takes over the Onza’s assets, I’ll resist. But please don’t misinterpret it too much theh.” Emmanuel and Mackenzie smirked upon hearing that.
Gautier could clearly see the suspicion and disdain in the couple’s eyes, but he remained calm. “Mackenzie, I deliberately handed over Onza’s assets to your family. I want just two things.” “Go on.” Emmanuel finally showed interest.
Sisterly Bond за Even though Emmanuel was a newly crowned Grandmaster, Gautier wasn’t afraid of his aura. Gautier looked at him and said calmly, “First, I hope Terence Group thrives and I get my fair share.” The Verkade family was currently the third largest shareholder of Terence Group, and with its soaring market value, they could indeed get a piece of the pie.
“Second, I want to see Mackenzie happy because she’s the woman I love.” When Gautier said this, he was sincere.
Emmanuel even felt inclined to believe him a bit. After all, Quintus was also such a person, but although Quintus was open, he didn’t have Gautier’s breadth of mind.
“You’re really admirable!” Mackenzie was noncommittal, and she smirked.
“Who knows if you’re playing both sides? Are there any ulterior motives? If Emmanuel had lost to Yosef, you’d have another excuse, wouldn’t you?” Gautier remained unfazed, stating plainly, “It makes sense for you to think so, 12:12 Fri, 7 Jun MM.

but I choose not to explain. After all, time reveals true intentions, and sooner or later, you’ll understand mine.” With that said, he indeed appeared upright as he departed.
Mackenzie sighed in relief and turned to Emmanuel. “What do you think?” He shook his head. “He looks sincere. Maybe, as he said, only with time will we know if he’s friend or foe!” She nodded.
Since her teens, she had known Gautier was a tough character to deal with.
While others often compared them, she hadn’t expected him to be even more formidable than imagined.
The couple returned to their room, took a brief rest, and, precisely at eight a.m., they appeared in the hotel lobby.
Several of the Quillen’s aunts and others wore expectant smiles, eagerly awaiting the couple’s arrival.

Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1646-Hannah hadn’t learned from her mistakes, and Sophie, despite Hannah’s wrongdoings, permitted her to bask in the Quillen family’s glory. Did Sophie ever consider the impact on Mackenzie and Emmanuel? Was there truly no accountability for Hannah’s misconduct?
Sophie unconsciously glanced at Mackenzie in the car ahead.
Mackenzie was astute and considerate. Even as she greeted the crowds, she noticed Hannah’s presence up ahead.
As the head of the Quillen family, she needed to embody the dignity befitting her position. A tender–hearted demeanor wouldn’t suffice for the responsibilities ahead. Her role was to support Wolf Warrior and eliminate the national threat. She was destined for firmness in administering both rewards and punishments.

Initially, she had hoped for Hannah’s remorse and a genuine apology.
Samantha even considered interceding with Mackenzie on Hannah’s behalf.
However, Hannah’s defiant words rendered such efforts unnecessary.
Samantha decided to let Hannah grapple with her regrets on her own in the days to come.
The procession continued.
Frederick, feeling less than enthused, couldn’t shake off the embarrassment and heartache from the previous night. He couldn’t help but dwell on it. The latest heartbreak marked the sixth time. When would he ever find lasting love?
Giving Up On the contrary, Shane radiated energy and enthusiasm. He cheerfully exchanged greetings with the spectators lining both sides of the street. His enthusiasm peaked, mainly when he spotted attractive women.
“Word on the street is that this year’s Grandmaster is the strongest in three decades. The Quillen family is poised for greatness.” “Yes. Mackenzie is a true beauty. They seem like a match made in heaven, the envy of all!” “I don’t envy them. Heroes and beauties seem out of my league. I envy those who work for the Quillen family instead.” “Spot on! Look at that chubby fellow, short and stout, yet he basks in the Quillen family’s glory. That’s what true envy looks like!” Frederick, who had been keeping a low profile, dismissed the conversation with a dismissive “Pfft!” Yet, he couldn’t help but chuckle mischievously.
Shane, previously cheerful, suddenly turned serious. He pointed at the Giving Up speaker and retorted, “What do you mean I get to bask in the glory?

He accepted it eagerly and took a sniff. Hmm, it smells delightful!
“Are you giving up on Ms. Beatrix?” Frederick couldn’t resist asking.
“Haha! What do you mean by giving up?” Shane responded logically. “You can only give up on something if you actually had a chance with it, right? She has never shown any interest in us from the beginning, so what’s the point in giving up? At most, we were just loyal admirers.” Frederick found Shane’s perspective entirely rational.
“Well, it’s evident she’s not an option, I should pivot early. I can’t cling to one Giving Up hope and risk being single forever.” Shane maintained a sense of self–awareness.
