Ch. 1801..1810
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1801-“You all go out. I need to talk to Aqua alone,” Emmanuel ordered Aurora and the others.
Aurora obediently left, but Ironskull and Ostrich refused to budge.
“Mr. Emmanuel, we’ve been poisoned! It has to be Aqua’s doing. Protecting her won’t help!” Ironskull exclaimed.
“Yeah, if you hadn’t treated us with acupuncture last night, we might be dead by now!” Ostrich added, equally agitated.
“Get out!” Emmanuel hadn’t even had a chance to respond when Vachon Rhodes stepped in, lifting both men out of the room by their collars.
Though still angry, Ironskull and Ostrich quieted down upon seeing TriSec and Quell standing guard outside the door.
Your Mother or Your Boss Aurora closed the door and joined the others outside.
Inside, Emmanuel, aware that they were still lingering outside, turned to Aqua and asked, “Where did you go last night?” “Mr. Emmanuel, I… I went to visit other clans. Many are curious about the Black Wolf Team, so I was spreading our ideals and vision of freedom,” she replied nervously, forcing a smile.
“Is that so?” He sighed and then asked directly, “Do you have a compelling reason for poisoning us?” “Ah? I don’t understand what you’re saying!” Aqua stammered, panic evident in her voice.
Emmanuel reached into her sleeve and pulled out a vial of poison.
Your Mother or Your Boss Without needing to say another word, Aqua dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her face. “Mr. Emmanuel, I’m sorry! Just kill me!”
Seeing her genuine despair, he’sighed. “Why did you do it?” He had initially brought Aqua into the Black Wolf Team, which meant she didn’t originally intend to harm him. Her actions, aimed at the entire team, suggested Original someone was coercing her to destroy them all.
“I had no choice! If I didn’t, my mother would die!” Aqua sobbed, revealing the whole story.
Her mother, a long–time member of the Airspace Group, had worked in logistics for over 20 years and was due to retire. But she fell ill upon leaving, needing expensive medical treatment. The Airspace Group promised to cover her medical costs if Aqua agreed to continue working for them.
Your Mother or Your Boss Aqua reluctantly accepted. Her frail appearance and the sympathy she evoked in men caught Yasmine’s attention, who then trained her as a spy. By a twist of fate, she infiltrated the Black Wolf Team due to Xarri.
“So, Xarri’s disappearance was related to you?” Emmanuel asked, intrigued.
Outside, the Black Wolf members were ready to burst in and punish the traitor, but Quell held them back.
Surprised, they saw Quell’s cold stare and restrained themselves.
“I… I had no choice. At that time, Ms. Morgan asked me to deliver food to Xarri. I didn’t know it was drugged. That night, Xarri left the Black Wolf Team’s territory and never returned… She also threatened to expose me if I didn’t follow her orders,” Aqua confessed, her eyes filled with guilt.
“I see. And where is your mother now?” Emmanuel didn’t blame her, understanding that Your other or Your Boss killing her wouldn’t solve anything.
th “My mother had initially left Dark Night Island and was given a villa by the Airspace Group as a reward for my work: But now, to threaten me, Ms. Morgan has had her brought back and imprisoned in the dungeon!” Aqua cried, her voice breaking. “We’ve only had each other for so long. If she dies, I don’t want to live either. But I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore, especially not you, Mr. Emmanuel. You’ve been so kind to me.
boo hoo…” Emmanuel sighed and patted her shoulder.
Through tear–filled eyes, Aqua looked up at him and heard him say, “Since you’re familiar with the Airspace Group’s dungeons, I need you to guide me there tonight to see if we can rescue your mother.” Get Ready for the Real Battle
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1802-Aqua was stunned by Emmanuel’s words!
The other members outside the room were also surprised and exchanged bewildered looks.
How could Mr. Emmanuel even dare to think of breaking into the Airspace Dungeon?
“Mr. Emmanuel, you don’t have to take this risk for me!” Aqua sobbed. “Airspace Dungeon is heavily guarded. Unless the Airspace Group shows mercy, it’s nearly impossible for anyone to get out. Just execute me. My death isn’t worth much!” Emmanuel patted her head gently and smiled. “I’m not doing this just for you. It’s for everyone, for the entire Dark Night Island!” Emmanuel’s current power wasn’t enough to fend off the Airspace Group and open the dock. He needed to gain more power, and the people in the dungeon were also his Get Ready for the Real Battle allies!
Aqua looked at the man before her. He seemed like a savior. Not only for her and her mother, but for the entire Dark Night Island!
“Alright, Mr. Emmanuel! I’ll go with you!” Aqua choked out.
Emmanuel nodded.
In the next moment, someone opened the door!
Ostrich eagerly volunteered, “Mr. Emmanuel, I’ll go with you too. Even though my combat power is low, I’m definitely the best choice for finding people and escaping!” Emmanuel was well aware of Ostrich’s abilities. It was thanks to his keen sense of smell that they had managed to find Aurora last time. So, he nodded in agreement.
“Count me in!” Get Ready for the Real Battle “Take me along!” ‘Let’s do something big together!” Vachon, Ironskull, and other members also eagerly volunteered.
This year’s duel had lost its original sense. Given how things had developed, they wanted to join forces with Emmanuel and take on the Airspace Group!
“How dare the Airspace Group use such despicable methods against us! We must eliminate them!” Quell, who rarely spoke up, also voiced his thoughts.
“Guys!” Aqua looked at these long–time companions with a sparkling gaze. Tears streamed down her face.
“Thank you so much!” Aqua bowed deeply, expressing her gratitude.
‘Hmph, we’ll spare you for Mr. Emmanuel’s sake! But once your mother is rescued, you Get Ready for the Real Battle must cut ties with the Airspace Group and join us in taking them down!” Ironskull said, with his arms crossed.
“Yeah, I definitely will!” Aqua also harbored a deep hatred for the Airspace Group. She now understood that once someone joined, leaving the group was nearly impossible. The only way out was death. Wasn’t this just like being in a cult?
“Only Aqua and Ostrich are going with me. The rest of you stay at the base!” Emmanuel didn’t plan to bring all the members along. After all, breaking into the dungeon wasn’t like running a raid. The more people there were, the easier it was to get noticed.
“Vachon and Quell, I need your strength!” Emmanuel turned serious and looked at them.
Get Ready for the Real Battle After figuring out how to open the dock, Emmanuel planned carefully. He needed five allied teams to act simultaneously, and for this, high–ranking warriors were of utmost importance.
“Mr. Emmanuel, I’ll do whatever you need, even if it means going through hell and high water for you!” Vachon said energetically.
Quell snorted coldly. “We’re all on the same boat. Just get to the point!” Emmanuel smiled slightly. “You have two days to put together a team. When the time comes, you’ll need to take down one of the Airspace Group’s major bases!” “What?” TriSec immediately exclaimed in surprise.
Although he knew this operation would eventually come, hearing the instructions still left him stunned.
Get Ready for the Real Battle “To open the dock, get everyone on board, and leave, we need to capture all five major bases of the Airspace Group simultaneously. If we’re delayed, their supporting forces might show up and crush us…” Emmanuel briefly shared the information he gathered from the tower.
“Interesting!” Quell crossed his arms and said, “This is what a real battle is all about!” Vachon was also extremely excited. “Mr. Emmanuel, leave it to us!” “Great, I trust you!” Emmanuel nodded. After handling the arrangements in the Night Wolf’s territory, he immediately left.
He had many important tasks to handle. Now, he had to work against the clock and visit a few more places before breaking into the dungeon!
Soon after, an unexpected guest once again breached the territory of the Ophanim Clan, and no one could stop them.
Get Ready for the Real Battle As the territory of a powerful royal clan, it was truly humiliating to let someone come and go as he pleased.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1803-“You again?!” In the next moment, Falcon and the other fighters of the Ophanim Clan blocked Emmanuel’s way.
Seeing Emmanuel’s demeanor, they were much less arrogant than before. The weaker ones didn’t even dare to make a sound!
found!
“What are you here for?” Xan appeared and asked coldly, “I’m here to see Rhett!” Emmanuel replied, as he did during his last visit.
But this time, Rhett didn’t come out.
“Rhett is in deep seclusion. You should leave now!” Xan sald coldly, trying to dismiss nim.
No. I must see ban today‘ Emmanuel was resolute as he walked forward Time was running out. Rhett was an indispensable figure in his entire plan!
“You’re seeking death! Seeing Emmanuel force his way into their headquarters, Anna immediately launched an attack.
Falcon and the other fighters followed suit.
To anyone else, the Ophanim Clan fighters were a nightmare, but Emmanuel ignored their attacks and continued forward.
In the next moment, Xan’s shadow clone also appeared!
Emmanuel finally experienced the prowess of a shadow–level expert, but he found it was not as formidable as he had imagined.
With the Art of Adaptability, he easily identified the real body among the clones.
taide the pia depictions in anime, there were no unscientific superpowers Me reat physical clones. It was merely a trick of speed and light.
Then a shadow level expert couldn’t stop the Wolf Warrior in his peak state. Emmanuel dodged Aan’s attacks and entered the headquarters.
The oppressive atmosphere inside the room was even stronger than that of the Black Wolf Team.
Rhett sat alone on a stone meditation seat covered with animal skins, like a king of beasts But the king of beasts didn’t look pleased at the moment!
“What are you here for? Rhett asked in a deep voice.
(op 10 Breaking into the panen Clan taku “I have something to discuss with you,” Emmanuel said directly.
“There’s nothing left to discuss between us. We’ll settle our subordinate relationship in two days. Let the battle decide whether you’ll be listening to me, or I’ll be listening to you,” Rhett said with pride.
“I don’t think so!” Emmanuel stepped closer.” belleve we can be friends! Because we are of the same rank!” “D*mn it! Don’t go any closer to Rhett!” Ophanim Clan fighters shouted at Emmanuel.
Rhett was the only boss in their heart, and no one could challenge his authority!
“Stand down!” Rhett ordered his subordinates, then turned to Emmanuel with a threat.
“Take another step, and you die!” “You can’t kill me!” Emmanuel ignored the threat and kept walking.
Rhett posed no threat to him at the moment. It wasn’t arrogance; rather, he was well aware of Rhett’s physical condition!
Boom!
With a sudden change in Rhett’s expression, a burst nergy shot towards Emmanuel.
Emmanuel dodged and tried to grab Rhett’s wrist.
After a brief struggle, Emmanuel used Templar Techniques to restrain Rhett’s wrist.
“Rhett!” The fighters were utterly shocked.
Their invincible boss had been defeated once again by the boss of the Black Wolf Team?
The blow was too heavy for them!
Top Tits Best Bhean tabit “You’re poisoned! Emmanuel declared. “You’s no match for me unless you accept my treatment and regain your health.” “What?!” The fighters were horrified, clearly unaware that Rhett was poisoned, Emmanuel wasn’t surprised by their reaction, Unlike the Night Wolf Team, only Rhett was poisoned in the Ophanim Clanl “Why are you doing this?” Rhett’s expression grew grim. “Are you belittling me? Do you think I’m unworthy of being your opponent now?” “No!” Emmanuel emphasized again. “I told you. You’re my beat opponent and also my friend!” Rhett looked into his eyes and fell silent.
In the next moment, Anna ran over and asked anxiously, “Rhett, are you really poisoned?
Breaking Into the Ophaním Clan Headqu Who did this? I’ll find out and kill them!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1804-Everyone’s gaze, whether intentional or not, turned to a woman in a red dresЯ The woman remained silent. Unlike Aqua, her expression was neither quilt ner pain.
“Shut up!” Rhett snapped at Anna. Then, he abruptly stood up and walked toward the exit.
Emmanuel followed him out.
The two great warriors of Dark Night Islands walked side by side again. No one dared to follow them. Everyone watched them leave with a look of reverence.
Rhett and Emmanuel arrived at their usual spot. The ruins and the northwest wind casted an air of desolation over them!

“She is my wife!” “What?!” Rhett’s reaction was intense, clearly unaware of Emmanuel and Mackenzie’s relationship.
“Are you surprised?” Emmanuel countered. “What about your connection with the Airspace Group? What’s your background?” “Hahaha…” Rhett suddenly burst into laughter “No wonder! It seems that Xarri was indeed very clever. He might have predicted what would happen on the lalanda!” Emmanuel frowned, waiting for his answer.
“Emmanuel, I’m quite similar to you, yet different!” Rhett’s tone grew reflective.
“Oh, what do you mean by that?” Emmanuel played along, eager to get Rhett talking.
Rhett sighed deeply. “We are both guardians of the Saintess, but unfortunately, I failed to protect her back then!” Emmanuel narrowed his eyes. Even though he had anticipated this, he was still taken aback.
“I am the Holy Guardian of the Holy Trinity, tasked with protecting the Saintess.
However, because I failed to protect her back then, she left the organization and fell into the mortal world, where she fell in love with an ordinary person and gave birth to the new Saintess,” Rhett explained with a wry smile. “Her life and experiences might
have been completely different otherwise!” “I see!” Emmanuel was intrigued by the story between him and the previous Saintess.
However, with time pressing, he needed to focus on the matter at hand.
“The Saintess should belong to the Holy Trinity, so I’m rel nt to let you take her away.” This statement genuinely surprised Emmanuel.
Firstly, he didn’t know Rhett was also a part of the Holy Trinity!
Secondly, he didn’t understand why Rhett was still concerned with the Holy Trinity’s interests, given the current situation.
‘As a Holy Guardian, my duty is to protect the Saintess and help her reach the pinnacle Wing Rett’s wort of the world. Rhett continued. “If it weren’t for my dereliction of duty back then, the Saintess‘ tragedy might not have happened. Perhaps the new Saintess would have stayed within the Holy Trinity, and that would have been the best place for her.” “I disagree!” Emmanuel said, clearly agitated, “I strongly disagree!” “Leaving aside the fact that Mackenzie didn’t grow up in the Holy Trinity and has no emotional ties to it, shouldn’t a person’s sense of belonging be their own choice? How can the Holy Trinity force her to be a pawn in their power games?”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1805-Despite his passionate speech, Rhett remained unresponsive.
He was not aligned with the Holy Trinity. Addressing Emmanuel, he said, “Our identities and roles are fundamentally different, and so are our beliefs. In this world, respect is reserved for the strong; the convictions of the weak are disregarded. If you can best me in the duel, I’ll follow your lead. Otherwise, you will have to follow mine.” Emmanuel responded with a smile. “Sure! Let me detoxify you first.” Rhett, puzzled and with a furrowed brow, asked, “Why are you doing this?” He assumed Emmanuel would refuse the treatment, interpreting this as a gesture of support.
I will show you the same respect you show me,” Emmanuel replied earnestly. “If you can accept our differing beliefs, then so can I Winning against the King of Ophanim in an imperfect state is simply not honorable. I don’t want such a victory.”
Rhett observed him for a while, and upon seeing the sincerity in his eyes, he burst out Haughing.
For a long moment, neither of them said a word. They both had limited knowledge about each other, but strong individuals often understand one another through direct confrontation. They didn’t delve deeper, as time was of the essence.
Eventually, Rhett agreed to Emmanuel’s help in detoxifying him.
“By the way, why do you want to defend that woman?” Emmanuel asked, while performing acupuncture to detoxify Rhett.
“Since you protect Aqua, who has no connection to you, why can’t I protect her?” Rhett’s answer surprised Emmanuel again.
It seems that Rhett is very aware of every move the Black Wolf Team makes, or did he infer from Aqua’s continued presence?
“Are you suggesting she is related to you?” Emmanuel, perceptive as ever, grasped the implication behind Rhett’s words.
“Yes! Her name is Liana Flynn!” Rhett provided only the name, adding, “You might be able to form a connection with her. She advocates for the Saintess’s freedom and has long wished for my death.” Emmanuel shivered slightly and questioned, “Does supporting the Saintess’s freedom mean she desires your death? Aren’t you her brother?” “We are indeed family!” Rhett’s smile was tinged with bitterness.” She was once a maid to the Saintess, who treated her very well. She resents me for not protecting the Saintess properly and letting her leave the Holy Trinity.”After the Saintess left, both of us were sent to Dark Night Islands for punishment. She was later trained to become a traitor. I am aware of all this.” Emmanuel was still surprised. “She wants you dead just because of this? Aren’t you her only family?” Rhett smiled again. “To others, I am the ruler of Dark Night Islands, but to her, I am a complete failure. She likely wishes for my death to atone for my sins and find peace.
Nevertheless, she has not communicated with me for many years, so I’m unsure of her current thoughts.” Discussing his relationship with his sister, Rhett seemed more like an ordinary brother than the king of Dark Night Islands.
Emmanuel hoped to have the chance to chat with Liana, but it appeared there wouldn’t be time in the near future.
if you manage to defeat me, I can lead a team to help you capture a base.
You will be the primary attacker at the central tower, but the remaining three bases may present significant challenges!” Rhett unexpectedly brought this up.
Emmanuel frowned and asked, “Why would it be challenging?” “Because I was involved in designing that base, and it follows the principle that ‘the strongest shall not be broken!“” Rhett seemed a bit proud as he explained, “The button to open the dock is located in a specially designed secret room with strict technological controls. Only two people cam enter at a time. If more than two are detected, the door locks completely, and even with the technological capabilities of Dark Night Islands, it cannot be breached.” Emmanuel nodded, understanding the situation. No wonder that over the years, no one on Dark Night Islands has thought of leaving. Even the legendary figure–Xarri–can only wait for the destined person he predicted!
“The guards of the base room are all former kings of Dark Night Islands, who have been bribed by the Airspace Group!” Rhett went on “Apart from me and Xarri, who have the capability to face them, even with Xan’s strength, defeating those guards will be tough.
I don’t think you can count on Quell and Vachon!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1806-Emmanuel gave a rueful smile. Before he came to meet Rhett, he had considered having Quell and Vachon lead the way. It seemed he had underestimated the Airspace Group’s strength.
“Perhaps there might still be a chance for a miracle!” s Emmanuel withdrew the acupuncture needles, he remained hopeful. “Even if we can’t defeat the fighters inside, there might be another way to activate the button.” Rhett did not respond, thinking the idea was overly optimistic.
“Well, I’ll be off then. I hope to see you in top form tomorrow night!” Emmanuel said as he took his leave.
“Emmanuel, I won’t hold back. Be ready!” Rhett declared arrogantly.
Emmanuel Inspires the Solar Group Emmanuel grinned and raised his fist in a friendly gesture.
“Hmph!” Rhett snorted dismissively but met Emmanuel’s fist with his own. From the brief exchange, both could tell that their strengths were evenly matched.
After parting ways with Rhett, Emmanuel returned to the Black Wolf’s territory and then headed to the Solar Group.
Upon hearing his plan, Sunny Sheets sighed. “The challenge is indeed significant. The rulers of Dark Night Islands are formidable opponents, comparable to Rhett. Apart from you and Rhett, no one else has much of a chance in a one–on–one confrontation!” Before Emmanuel could respond, Quintus, who was standing nearby, shouted, “Hey, Mr.
Sheets, don’t you remember someone else?” He thumped his chest confidently.
Sunny deliberately pretended to think for a moment before shooking his head. “I don’t think there’s anyone else. Xan might give it a shot, but it could be tough for him too.” Emmanuel Inspires the Solar Group “How infuriating!” Quintus yelled. “Aren’t I at Rhett’s level? If we were to fight again, I Wouldn’t lose!” 87%1 Sunny exchanged a look with Emmanuel. Emmanuel knew he was deliberately using Quintus to motivate him, so he immediately responded to Quintus, “If you can cultivate for a couple days and maintain your peak condition, you might lead a team to give it a go!” “Sure!” Quintus laughed heartily. “I see you have good judgment, knowing that your brother–in–law is also a master! As for some people, their taste is just average,” he said with a sly glance at Sunny.
Sunny replied with a casual smile. Even if Quintus can pick a group of experts, their Dark Night Islands coalition still lacks two top–tier generals!
Emmanuel Inspires the Solar Group “Every single one is essential!” Emmanuel extended his fist toward them with confidence. “As long as we stay united, we will find a way to break through, escape, and reclaim our freedom!” “Freedom?!” At the mention of the word, Sunny tilted his head and gazed at the sky. The Solar Group’s members looked at him with hopeful eyes. Since their arrival, they had not dared to hope they could ever leave and return to the outside world. Emmanuel’s presence ignited a flicker of hope!
“Yes! Freedom!” Emmanuel nodded and continued to inspire them. “No one can confine others, control their life and death, or take away their freedom! You can do whatever I want in the outside world You’ll have more options and won’t have to worry about dying unexpectedly one day…” As they listened to his vision of the outside world, the Solar Group’s members cheered, raising their arms high!
Emmanuel Inspires the Solar Group “Freedom! We will fight for it and escape from this hellhole!”
tt Seeing the Solar Group’s renewed determination, Emmanuel left with his true intentions concealed. He hadn’t anticipated that his words would spark such enthusiasm.
“Heh heh, who would’ve thought you’d become a charismatic leader? I really didn’t see that coming!” Quintus laughed triumphantly. Now, with Emmanuel, he could finally fight for Mackenzie and planned to have a fair duel when they returned.
Emmanuel, unaware of Quintus’s lighthearted thoughts, found Aqua and Ostrich already prepared upon his return to the Black Wolf region.
“What are you two up to?” Emmanuel couldn’t help but laugh when he saw their serious expressions and the Emmanuel Inspires the Solar Group assortment of unusual tools they carried, “Hey, Mr. Emmanuel, you might not know this, but Ostrich used to be a thief. He’s an expert at lock–picking and surveillance!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1807-Aqua rubbed her nose and proudly showed him what she had prepared. Seeing her finally back to her old self, Emmanuel felt a surge of relief. It was clear that Aqua was resolved to rescue her mother and support him in the fight.
“You guys need to obey my orders and stay cautious! Do you understand?” Emmanuel instructed, noting their eager expressions. It’s crucial that no member of the Anti–Airspace Group Alliance is left behind now!
“Got it, Mr. Emmanuel!” “Great! Let’s head out!” Beneath the cover of darkness, the trio made their way toward the dungeon, situated on the west island of the Dark Night Islands. It was quite a distance from the central region.
Infiltrating the Dungeon Guided by Emmanuel, they reached the entrance successfully, encountering only a few Airspace Group guards on the way. As they neared the dungeon, the security grew considerably stricter, with guards creating a dense perimeter around it.
When they finally managed to infiltrate the perimeter and reach the dungeon entrance, they saw that the area was heavily guarded. There were at least four guards in each team, with one team stationed at the entrance and another two teams patrolling nearby. All of them were fully armed, making it quite challenging to confront them directly as it would likely alert the entire facility.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel noticed that many guards appeared lethargic and inattentive.
Given the stable situation on the Dark Night Islands and the infrequent incidents at the dungeon, the guards seemed to have let their guard down. Most notably, they were wearing strange hats that covered the sides of their faces, making it hard to identify them. This provided him with an opportunity to sneak in.
“What’s the plan, Mr. Emmanuel?” Ostrich asked, growing impatient after Emmanuel’s Infiltrating the Dungeon prolonged observation without any instructions.
“Stay here and wait. I’ll go get some guard uniforms to help us blend in!” With that, Emmanuel vanished into the darkness.
#t Moments later, a swift shadow suddenly appeared before the patrolling guards around the corner.
Thud! Thud!
Emmanuel took down the two leading guards with swift strikes. The remaining two reacted differently. One attempted to draw his weapon while the other began to shout.
“Intruder-” Thud!
Before he could finish, he was struck on the back of his head and fell unconscious.
other guard was subdued before he could even raise his weapon. Emmanuel’s speed was almost overwhelming!
However, the next wave of trouble was on the way.
“It sounds like there’s some commotion over there. Should we investigate?” Another group of guards, hearing the commotion, started moving towards the disturbance.
“What should we do? Mr. Emmanuel should be over there!” Ostrich asked Aqua in a low voice. With his keem hearing, he had picked up on the earlier shout and inferred what was happening.
Aqua, being sharp, immediately threw a stone to the other side, hitting a metal plate and creating a loud clatter.
“Let’s check out that noise!” The guards were diverted by the distraction.
Emmanuel, aware of the situation, gave them a thumbs–up. e had specifically chosen these two lower ranked Night Wolf members for their cleverness and vigilance, and they proved to be more effective than he had anticipated.
“Mr. Emmanuel Aqua and Ostrich soon arrived at his side.
“Quickly! Help me remove their uniforms and hide them in a corner!” Emmanuel ordered Bestily Regretting not having brought an additional helper, he struggled to maintain the appearance of a full group of guards with just the three of them. As he pondered this, the manhole cover nearby suddenly lifted, and a shadowy figure emerged.
Emmanuel, Aqua and Ostrich were startled, fearing they had been discovered or that there was an ambush, Looking closer, Emmanuel realized the figure seemed familiar. He quickly signaled his companions to stay calm.
“Ptull Ptuil Ptui! There are even dung balls in the sewer! Ahh, this is so irritating-” The figure, clearly distressed, spoke in a hushed tone, having just escaped the dungeon alone.
“Blake?” At that moment, a familiar voice was heard.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1808-The man covered in filth blinked in surprise. Upon closer inspection, he realized he had encountered none other than Emmanuel. “It’s you!” The agitated Blake almost pounced at Emmanuel, but Emmanuel quickly stepped backward and gestured for him to keep quiet.
Besides, he was grimy and stinking. Emmanuel didn’t want to get any closer to him.
“Perfect timing. Here’s some fresh clothes. Change into them so we can talk.” Emmanuel quickly handed him a set of guard uniforms. He was grateful for Blake’s timely arrival as he needed manpower.
Covering her nose with her hand, Aqua pointed in a direction to remind Blake that there was an artificial river around the border to wash up.
“Fine. I’ll deal with you later!” Blake huffed before storming off to wash up.
fémano Patverd daßlich and Aqua to put on the guard uniforms before changing piya ni Buske med just as they had disposed of the guards in a corner “Good. Now, lett me tell you why I’m suffering- Emmanuel shushed him, depriving him of the chance to speak. Emmanuel out to the chase and announced, “Let’s not waste any time. We need your help to rescue someone from the dungeon.” “What?” The request shocked Blake, considering Emmanuel just asked him to go back in when he barely escaped the dungeon.
He must be kidding, right?
Before he could protest, Emmanuel dragged him outside. A group of guards were walking toward them, leaving Blake no choice but to swallow his protest.
Recruiting Blake “Are you slacking off again? Where do you think you’re going when it’s your shift to patrol the dungeon?” The group leader questioned Emmanuel.
Emmanuel chuckled lightheartedly. “You caught us. We’re heading back now-” He averted his gaze as he sidestepped to head for the dungeon.
“Not so fast!” Just as they thought everything was going smoothly, the group leader had to call them out.
As the leader was putting a hand on Emmanuel’s shoulder, Emmanuel didn’t hesitate to knock him out with a punch.
He also removed the rest of the guards since the fight started. There was nobody to alert the guards outside the dungeon.
“D” it!‘ Blake cursed as he watched Emmanuel get him into trouble again.
Yasmine will imprison me again if she finds out!
However, at this point, he had no choice but to go along with it. He teamed up with Emmanuel and quickly took down the guards.
Next, they ambushed the guards at the entrance.
The central region wouldn’t know Emmanuel had invaded the dungeon with all the guards knocked out. They would improvise if they were discovered later.
“Blake, please guard the entrance in case someone arrives,” Emmanuel ordered.
“Why should I listen to you? We’re not on the same side. Don’t you dare take me as-” Emmanuel cut him off with a pat on his shoulder and asserted, “I’m counting on you, Recruiting Blake my most reliable partner.” What the hell? Blake was stunned. Since when are we partners?
Emmanuel said nothing more and led Aqua and Ostrich into the dungeon.
“Hey! Come back!” Blake called out, but they paid him no mind. He wanted to throw the guard’s cap on the ground and leave immediately. I’m not doing his job for him!
Before he could go far, he sighed and returned to the entrance, picking up the cap and putting it back on.
“Darn it! It’s impossible to get away now!” He grumbled spitefully. However, he had no choice but to aid Emmanuel to leave the dungeon.
Emmanuel’s group was plunged into darkness upon entering the dungeon. A disgusting stench filled their noses, making their stomachs churn.
Recruiting Blake Emmanuel had no trouble adapting to the environment as he was a disciple of the Ghost Doctor. He had learned the Turtle Breath Technique and breathing adjustments, so he quickly adapted.
Aqua and Ostrich, on the other hand, were on the verge of throwing up at any moment.
“Pull yourselves together!” Emmanuel massaged their acupoints. After retching up ence, Ostrich slowly adjusted to his surroundings while covering his nose.
“Emmanuel, my sense of smell might go numb in this place at any moment,” he whispered.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1809-It was the group’s first time entering the dungeon. They were surprised to find its environment worse than they had imagined.
Due to the lack of sun exposure and poor ventilation, the foul smells mixed, turning the dungeon into a living hell.
No wonder people would rather die than be thrown into the dungeon.
“Let’s move on for more information,” Emmanuel encouraged them.
After passing through the entrance tunnel, they entered a spacious space resembling a maze, where they could relax a little. Still, the strong smell lingered in the air.
It was a no–brainer that many people had died here.
The guards on shift approached them and questioned, “No food again?” A Successful Infiltration Emmanuel grasped the keyword ‘again‘ and promptly responded with an impatient look, “What’s the point of bringing food? Care to remind me why we’re keeping these losers alive?” “You’re right. The number of prisoners has been soaring recently thanks to the rules the Saintess had set. However, some important figures are also locked up here. We can’t let them starve to death,” one of the guards explained.
“Who are these important figures?” Emmanuel pressed.
However, the other guard wasn’t one to be fooled easily. He demanded, “Who are you?
I’ve not seen you before. What’s your identification number?” “We’re new. We don’t have identification numbers yet,” Emmanuel calmly responded, trying to bluff his way through.
Unfortunately, the men tried to pull out their guns. “D*mn it! You guys snuck in! You A Successful Infiltration can’t enter without-‘ R Since the situation spun out of control, Emmanuel had to take the guards down.
“That was close!” Aqua and Ostrich breathed a sigh of relief. Sneaking into the dungeon was too risky, and they wondered how long they could keep it up without being discovered.
you know where your mother is being held?” Emmanuel asked Aqua as he “Aqua, do you retrieved the prison cell keys from the unconscious guards.
“I have no idea!” She shook her head.
“I see. You two wait here.” He decided to scout the area alone to ensure no more guards were around.
He walked down the corridor to find there were no other guards.
A Successful Infiltration To his surprise, the alarm in the dungeon suddenly went off.
He had no idea how he triggered it. Is there a hidden camera or guards I’m unaware of sounding the alarm?
Meanwhile, in the Ivory Tower.
The alarm jolted Yasmine awake. She quickly put on her coat, which covered her curvy body.
As she exited the room, her subordinate reported, “Ms. Morgan, someone has broken into the dungeon!” “Have the armed forces suppress the intruders. Anyone trying to resist will be killed on sight.” Her expression was icy and filled with disapproval. She had a feeling of what was happening. She and Emmanuel had an agreement, but since he had broken the promise, she wouldn’t hesitate to fight back.
A Successful Infiltration “Listen.” Emmanuel rushed back to the entrance and ordered his companions, “We’ll split up to find the target. Unlock as many cells as possible along the way. Tell the prisoners that the Ophanim Clan and the Black Wolf will compete for the winner. Those who are willing to work alongside any of the clans must leave immediately and report to the respective clan.” “All right!” The two immediately split up.
Aqua released the prisoners while searching for her mother.
Emmanuel took a different route.
He didn’t know why he chose it, but he had a feeling that something was awaiting him.
As someone who mastered the Shapelessness of the Art of Adaptability, he sensed a terrifying aura waiting at the end of the winding path.
A Successful Infiltration Along the way, he unlocked the cells with the keys while holding a torch in another hand. He shouted at the living prisoners, “Come out! Let’s fight for freedom!” “Who are you?” Most prisoners locked in the dark dungeon were ordinary people who had never seen the new leader of Black Wolf, but some still recognized him. “He’s the new boss of Black Wolf! He’s here to rescue us!”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1810-“The new boss? Why is he saving us?” “Does he have the power to do so?” The prisoners had different opinions about him.
Many of them looked confused, but the will to survive is the most basic human instinct.
A glimmer of hope remained in their eyes.
“I do!” Emmanuel shouted. “According to the rules, the victor can determine the fate of the defeated. Now, only the Black Wolf Clan and the Ophanim Clan remained standing.
We can determine your fate and give you freedom! Now, go!” “Really?” The faces of the prisoners lit up instantly.
Someone tried to lead the way out. When they realized there was no hindrance, the rest A Monger in the Del followed in a frenzy to escape In the dim dungeon, groups of escaping prisoners met in the corridor. They were heading in the same direction, the exit of the dungeon.
Emmanuel watched them leave, feeling a myriad of emotions. He took a deep breath and marched toward the cell at the end of the passage.
“Hey, Black Wolf Boss! You shouldn’t go there!” some prisoners advised.
“That’s right! I heard that the last cell holds a terrifying monster!” The group of prisoners warned him in panic. Seeing Emmanuel unmoved, they decided to leave him alone and ran for their lives.
After the prisoners had left the corridor, he continued forward with the torch.
After some time, the cell at the end finally came into view.
The cell was made of different materials from the ordinary cells. Its walls were made of stone, about forty inches thick.
He doubted the sturdy walls could be blasted open by a cannon, not to mention the alloy door.
With the aid of the dim firelight, he saw a person sitting in the cell through the alloy door.
The person’s long hair was veiling his face. Yet, his eyes shone in the darkness like stars at night.
“You finally made it here!” The man chuckled at the cautiously approaching Emmanuel.
His statement took Emmanuel aback. Emmanuel’s curiosity eventually gave in, and he asked, “Who are you? How do you know me?”
