Ch. 1871..1880
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1871-reme The sound of Emmanuel’s voice echoed once again.
But Rhett didn’t hear any response from either Quintus or Xan. It was glaringly obvious that they were completely incapable of exerting any control over the base’s room.
“What about the northern base?” Rhett asked.
No sooner had he finished speaking, a gentle voice unexpectedly resonated from the line of northern isles. “Sorry to make you worry! I’ll handle the northern base!” “Xarri! Is that you?” Rhett immediately exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement. “I know that you are bound to show up!” Amidst the noise on Xarri’s end, which clearly indicated he was still sparring with Night Fox, he managed to speak to them, “Alright, now is not the time for catching up. Open the dock at six o’clock in the evening, and we’ll regroup on the ship to talk further!” The Final Duel After that, the line went silent.
Inside the room within the northern base, Night Fox, feeling deeply insulted,” sneered as he said, “So you’re the one they call Xarri, right?” In reality, Xarri had barely stepped into the room when the voices of Emmanuel and Rhett reached his ears. Seizing the opportunity, he seamlessly integrated himself into their conversation, his timing so precise it seemed almost intentional.
Night Fox unleashed a rapid series of three precise strikes, each more forceful than the last, finally driving him off the communication device with a calculated blend of skill and power.
Then, he shattered the communication device with a brutal strike. His teeth clenched as he declared, “Since you’ve made it clear that you don’t want any reinforcements, there’s no need for this thing to remain, is there?” Xarri faintly smiled and nodded in agreement.
The Final Duel “Your smile really pisses me off! What should I do? Rip you to shreds?”
Night Fox’s entire aura erupted, cloaking him in a terrifying presence. His killing intent was so intense that it almost seemed to take physical form.
Xarri remained unmoved as he said, “You won’t be able to rip me to shreds.
h Regardless of what happens, I’ll see my mission through to the end!” “D*mn you!” Utterly enraged by the man’s calm demeanor, Night Fox unleashed a masterful move of Thousands of Cuts, aiming to tear the man before him to shreds.
To his utter shock, Xarri managed to dodge all the attacks with barely minor scratches, patiently waiting for Night Fox to exhaust his moves before countering with the same move!
“How can this be?” Night Fox was shocked. Because of the proximity, the damage was much greater than that on Xarri.
The Final Duel Several deep gashes marred his chest, blood profusely pouring from the wounds without end.
“I got it. Big Dipper!” Night Fox took a moment to realize that this was his ancestral move–one that others could not have learned. It could only be the Big Dipper from the Lannister family, turned back against him using his own methods!
Xarri merely smiled in silence. An enigmatic man would never disclose his secrets to his adversary.
A failure resulting from inflated rhetoric and chaotic speech would never befall him!
ING Night Fox, resorting to a desperate fighting style, exchanged several more moves with Xarri. But upon realizing that the man before him had no flaws in his moves, he conceded defeat without further resistance.
With a resigned sigh, he waved a hand dismissively and said, “Forget it, I’m done fighting you! If you want to press that button, go ahead. Press it and The Final Duel destroy whatever you want!” His tone was filled with frustration as if conceding to the inevitable while masking his underlying anger.
He thought, After all, the Queen of the Dark Night Islands is already dead. Why should I continue to risk my life for Airspace Group? Heh, that’s out of the question!
But Xarri coldly responded, “I might show mercy to others if they surrender, but you are the exception. There’s no chance I’ll ever accept it!” Night Fox had committed egregious acts against Alliance, including the deaths of numerous members and the public humiliation of his sister, Quell. If Xarri were to let him escape unscathed, how could he possibly explain to everyone? And how would he ever justify it to Quell?
Such leniency would not only undermine his credibility and authority in the eyes of Alliance but also leave him unable to justify his actions to those who looked to him for leadership and justice.
His high regard within the Black Wolf Team and Dark Night Islands was due to The Final Duel his keen sense of discretion and ability to command respect through his actions.
Those who deserve to live will certainly be spared! And those who must die will inevitably meet their end!
“D*mn it, you’re forcing me to go all out with you. Don’t think I’m out of options!” Night Fox growled, all the while subtly retreating.
The room was equipped with intricate mechanisms. While using them alone might not trouble a top–tier expert like Xarri, combining them with his own surprise attacks significantly increased the likelihood of success.
“Xarri, there can only be one leader of Night Wolf. You should just-” Whoosh!
Before Night Fox could complete his sentence, Xarri had already streaked past him in a blur–like motion.
Night Fox finally caught sight of it that Xarri was actually wielding a sword!
The Final Duel As his eyes widened in disbelief, a storm of indignation raged within him. He thought, How utterly underhanded! You have never employed that sword before. This deceitful tactic remains hidden until now.
“Ah-” Night Wolf let out a blood–curdling scream as one of his arms was cleaved off, severed in a single blow.
“Quell may not have perfectly demonstrated the swordsmanship of the Lannister family, but now I’ll show you!” With a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth, Xarri executed a set of exquisite and graceful swordsmanship. Moments later, Night Fox collapsed to his knees, his face turned upward, and his gaze fixed in a lifeless stare.
Splat!
In the next instant, the blood gushed from his body like a burst water pipe.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1872-Ex Xarri drew his sword again and fired at the control console of the dock, causing the entire console to shatter.
With a graceful turn, he sheathed his sword and walked away without a trace of hesitation.
“Xarri, you’re out!” “Mr. Xarri is back!” “We’ve won!” Outside, the remnants of the allied forces cheered and raised their arms in celebration.
“Xarri, did you kill Night Fox?” Quell asked “Yes, I tore him to pieces to avenge you! Xarri replied calmly.
The Shattering Victory Quell’s admiration for Mr. Xarri deepened even further. She had joined forces with numerous S–ranked warriors, but they couldn’t defeat Night Fox. Yet, Mr.
Xarri had taken him down in mere minutes!
With such an extraordinary brother, how could Mr. Xarri not be destined to become the King of Fate? Why should they wait for Emmanuel to arrive?
“Let’s go!” Everyone had their own style, and Xarri wasn’t one to rally the troops like Emmanuel. Instead, a simple wave of his hand was enough to make others want to follow him.
“Mr. Xarri, don’t we need to wait until 6 to press the button?” Aqua asked, hurrying over.
“No need. Emmanuel already told us that destroying the control panel is enough!” Xarri said, adding with a wry smile, “He has already defeated Her Majesty and disrupted the central control, and Rhett has also taken down the southern region base ahead of us. We’re a bit behind!” The Shattering Victory “What?!” This news was the greatest morale booster for the allied forces!
They had always thought that the central control was the hardest to breach, especially with Her Majesty personally guarding it. They never expected their commander to break through it first!
“Mr, Emmanuel is incredible!” “Yeah! With such an amazing commander, we’re sure to win in the end!” “Mr. Xarri is impressive too. The Night Wolves truly are the top two heroes!” “Long live the commander! Long live Mr. Xarri!” The survivors from the Northern District, supporting each other, joyfully left the base and slowly advanced toward the southern region.
They were the farthest from the dock, so this was the perfect time to set out!
At the Western Base, the allied forces still hadn’t been able to break in.
The defenders of the Airspace Group at the base were still resisting fiercely, unaware that Her Majesty had already fallen!
Xan, using his exceptional ninja skills, had infiltrated the third–floor room, but against the defenders on this level, he was being beaten badly!
“Did you hear? Your commander sent Rhett to rescue you! Haha…” The man Xan faced wore peculiar attire, including a pair of wooden clogs.
His name was Paul North, a fugitive warrior from the Shoiya. After a failed assassination attempt on their country’s leader, Xan had been tasked with eliminating this man before coming to Dark Night Island.
Who would have thought that he would end up trapped here? Even if he could escape, he wouldn’t leave until this man was dead!
During the allied forces‘ strategy meetings, Rhett had recommended he lead a troop to attack the Western Base, aiming to create opportunities to The Shattering Victory complete his fateful mission!
a But even after successfully infiltrating the third floor and facing his opponent in a one–on–one fight, he found himself outmatched!
“Ninja? Are all those fancy tricks supposed to work? On the path of martial arts, only speed is unbreakable. Illusions are just a joke in front of real experts!” Paul mocked, then suddenly struck with his blade.
In the darkness, it streaked like white lightning–so fast!
Xan swiftly vanished to evade the attack. Yet, another bloodstain marred the ground.
Xan was known for his speed, and only Xarri and Emmanuel could suppress him on Dark Night Island. However, in front of Paul, he was powerless!
Though he managed to avoid fatal blows, continuing to be injured like this would lead to his demise!
The Shattering Victory “Keep hiding! Keep hiding!” Paul knew his tactic, which would have accomplished his mission as long as he could find an opportunity to destroy the equipment was to use the darkness of the environment to hide himself and lure him into pursuit. He would have accomplished his mission as long as he could find a chance to destroy the equipment.
Pau was not in a hurry at all. He even put down the samurai sword and raised his hands to taunt him. “There are more than 70 minutes until six o’clock.
You’re getting closer and closer to death.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1873-Shoiya upheld the samurai code, valuing honor and bravery above all. Being labeled a coward was the greatest disgrace!
Although Xan couldn’t defeat the double–S class fugitive warrior, his ninja skills allowed him to hide in this ideal environment for minutes on end without issue. If he wanted to survive, he could just leave the room and wait for Rhett to rescue him! But that would be a lifetime of shame for him!
His Taoist heart will be destroyed, and his future advancement will undoubtedly halt!
“Paul, listen up!” Xan’s voice thundered through the darkness, his warrior pride burning fiercely. “My next move will be my ultimate technique. I’ll destroy you and the equipment behind you, turning everything into dust!” “Oh? Is that so? Then, come at me!” Paul replied, raising his sword with a smirk.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Final Stand Before he finished speaking, three figures descended from above, aiming to land on Paul’s head.
Paul sneered as he slashed with his sword, cutting through the illusions. Yet, they were merely phantoms! The blade sliced through nothing.
“A feint?” Paul remained unfazed. In terms of sword speed, he had only ever been outmatched by one person–a peak master known as Yorick. Aside from that, he had never lost to anyone. No matter how many feints the ninja in front of him executes, as long as his sword speed destroys the opponent and he kills them one by one, he will not fail!
However, his eyes widened in shock–he had been tricked!
As the phantoms vanished, three detonator talismans appeared on the ground!
Others might not know the power of these symbols, but Paul, being from The Final Stand Shoiya, was well aware. The detonator talisman worked by using qi to trigger runes. Although he didn’t fully understand the principles behind them, he knew that cutting the runes in advance would render the explosives useless.
But before he could react, three more phantoms landed–then another three!
Paul hadn’t yet grasped the enemy’s intentions when he saw the runes inscribed on the symbols.
“Stand! Battle! Warrior!” Paul snipped off the detonating talisman at the rear before it landed.
Knowing he had no other options, Xan could only shout, “Let it explode!” This was his final move, prepared specifically for this moment. It was his purpose for staying on Dark Night Island, Boom! The explosion erupted, but Xan’s eyes were filled with despair.
He had expected to set off at least three detonator talisman, but only one The Final Stand detonated.
“Heh heh…” After the explosion, Paul’s triumphant laughter could be heard amid the fireworks: “Nine detonating talismans can’t kill me, but they can destroy the equipment. But with just one detonating talisman, are you setting off fireworks to celebrate my victory?” Xan is not a good speaker and is heavily influenced by Shoiya’s bushido..Iff the mission fails, he has only one option for suicide: to cut open his stomach.
The next minute, he lifted his sword and stabbed himself in the stomach.
In fact, Rhett had arrived at the Western Front Battlefield five minutes earlier… ‘Rhett!
Rhett has arrived!” The Final Stand “There’s hope for us now!” The remaining coalition forces in the western area, who had been disheartened, finally showed a glimmer of hope.
Rhett was in a dire state. The injury from fighting Emmanuel and the injuries sustained in battle with Liana made even sitting on a horse painful!
In this scenario, he lacked the courage to confront any SS–level specialist.
Seeing the optimistic look on the coalition troops‘ faces, he persisted and asked, “What’s going on? The walls of this base haven’t been breached yet?” “We can’t break through!” “Only Xan made it inside!” “Time is running out, and we don’t know how he’s doing!” The coalition soldiers responded.
Only Falcon, one of the Three Titans of Ophanim Clan, noticed Rhett’s
The Final Stand deteriorating condition and quickly advised, “Rhett, don’t push yourself too hard! If you die here, what’s the point of fighting for freedom?”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1874-“Absolutely not!” A Rhett gritted his teeth. “Emmanuel has killed the Queen of the Dark Night Islands and Xarri has successfully infiltrated the Northern region. Now, the only regions left are the East and West regions. The Ophanim Clan is still the champion of the Dark Night Island. What makes you think we will drag everyone down?” “What? Black Wolf Boss…” Falcon gradually trailed off after hearing the news. All of a sudden, the troops were fired up!
“The commander–in–chief killed Her Majesty!” “The Queen of the Dark Night Islands is dead!” “Airspace Group! Did you hear that your queen is dead? Aren’t you lot gonna surrender?”
Showdown with Scarlet The cries of the Alliance forces reached the ears of the base camp’s guards.
Sure enough, fear began to creep into the hearts of the enemy, causing a stir!
However, if the General of the western base did not intend to surrender, who would? More importantly, deep down in their hearts, even though Her Majesty was dead, there was still a Warlord behind their backs!
Besides that, reinforcements from the Airspace Group were on their way. All they needed to do was to buy the reinforcements more time, and the tides would turn in their favor!
“Look, it’s Lady Scarlet!” “Quick, open the city gates!” 4.
The last thing they would expect at such a crucial moment, was the sight of Scarlet riding alone, charging from the side.
“Rhett, should we take the opportunity to launch a full attack the moment they opened the gates?” Falcon asked.
Showdown with Scarlet
For a moment, Rhett couldn’t come up with a decision. Their task was only to destroy the equipment at the third level. Moreover, it was still an hour away from 6 p.m. Invading now would just be in vain!
While he contemplated, Scarlet had entered the gates of the West region.
“Lady Scarlet, are you here to reinforce our defenses??” “Defenses?” Upon hearing the captain of the western defense, Scarlet merely curled her lips coldly. “What’s the point of defense anymore? Get out of my way!” “What? This-” Scarlet’s demeanor dumbfounded the Airspace guards! However, she couldn’t care any less for them and strode her way to the third floor with her whip.
Swish!
Showdown with Scarlet Just as Xan was about to commit suicide as compensation, a long, glowing black whip coiled his body. It shocked him and he wasn’t the only one. Blake was also stunned that he thought, I never expected this woman to come.
What is she doing here?
The door was made with motion sensors. If there were more than two individuals inside the room, the door would shut automatically. The moment Xan was determined to end his life, Blake had already burst into the room and kicked him out. I can’t let the corpse of a loser dirty this room.
But who would have thought that coincidences do happen? Scarlet took the only opening present and pulled Xan out with her whip.
“What are you trying to do?” Even a person with a cold personality like Xan trembled as he spoke.
“Hmph, you useless man! You can have your death if you want, but don’t let the efforts of thousands of people go to waste because of that!” With just one sentence from Scarlet, it completely shattered any defenses he Showdown with Scarlet had within him.
Useless!
He couldn’t believe that he was described as useless by a woman!
Scarlet didn’t have the time to pay any attention to such a failure. Instead, she dragged her whip across the floor and entered the room.
Boom.
Once again, the door shut automatically!
“Lady Scarlet, your orders?” Blake asked coldly while gripping his katana tightly. He knew very well that the woman standing before him was ten times a threat compared to Xan!
“I’m no longer some great guardian anymore. I felt bored roaming around even though the war was pretty intense. So, now I’m looking for a random opponent to fight!” Scarlet’s words sounded slightly lax to Blake.
Showdown with Scarlet “What?!” Blake couldn’t believe his ears. “So, you plan to betray the Airspace Group?” “Think of it however you’d like. I just wanted to test if you can withstand three strikes from me!” She bent towards him as she spoke.
“Why does it have to be me?” Blake was disgruntled. Five bases, five double–S class warriors, and you had to pick me?
“No particular reason. I just like you!” Scarlet dismissed his dissatisfaction. She slashed her whip a few times on the floor, making a sound that sent shivers down one’s spine.
“In that case, I can kill you without any explanation!” Blake was itching to fight her. He knew that this was a risk and also a chance for him to get promoted.
As long as the base was defended, he would become the biggest contributor to the Airspace Group in this war. In the event of defeating both the Queen of the Dark Night Islands and Scarlet, the Warlord would surely see him as a valuable asset!
Showdown with Scarlet “Bring it on!”
Scarlet smiled excitedly, and initiated the first form of the Whipping Dance, Entry into the Sacred Realm!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1875-Facing Xan’s ultimate moves earlier was no pressure to Blake, but right now his forehead was beaded with sweat in the fight against Scarlet.
Scarlet sneered. “You don’t need to guard that stupid machine. I have no interest in it!” Blake paced himself quickly. He knew that he still needed to protect the machine because if he didn’t, the only consequence he would face was death!
Boom!
Scarlet’s first slash instantly destroyed the equipment controlling the dock gates. However, Blake was lucky enough to dodge it, but it definitely caused him to break out in cold sweat!
“I never doubted you as the renowned Lady Scarlet and truly admire your abilities. Now that the machine is wrecked, there is no need for us to fight on.
So, stand down!” Blake was persistent in stopping the battle.
Xan Saved Scarlet merely taunted him. “The so–called ‘Shoiya’s Top Warrior‘, is this all you’ve got?” “What do you mean?” Blake’s eyes blazed with fury.
help “Did you misunderstand me? I’m not here to help the Alliance Forces. I merely wanted to test your abilities. I aim to find the most suitable man who can withstand my fourth slash! Now that we have battled it out, it’s evident that น you’re just trash!” Scarlet humiliated Blake casually with her explanation.
Blake was so furious that he looked at Scarlet with loathing eyes.
“Scarlet! I’ll give you three seconds. If you don’t apologize to me right now, I will make you regret your own words!” “Oh, really?” Seeing his belligerence boiling within him, Scarlet became much more enthusiastic about fighting him. She pulled her whip with force and said, “The way you look right now gives you further validation to die under my second
Blake refused to back down and be intimidated by her words. With his gaze sharper and void of all mercy, he flashed his sword in front of him.
“I rarely strike women with my katana, especially since arriving at the Dark Night Islands. You will be the first to die under this blade!!” “Is that so? Guess I gotta really hope to die! Hehe…” Scarlet laughed casually while her whip slowly burst into flames.
The second whip, Inferno Hell!
For a moment, the long whip looked like a venomous viper spitting out seeds of fire, trying to land a bite on Blake.
Blake also roared with anger, his katana flashed like lightning striking in the sky. The showdown between the highest–ranking warriors even made the windows and walls gradually collapse! In time, their surroundings turned into ashes of destruction!
Xan Saved Clang!
Debris fell from the ceiling and the base began to tremor.
“Rhett, look at the third floor!” Just as Rhett was about to pass down the order to attack, Falcon exclaimed while pointing upwards.
Rhett had already sensed the auras of the two powerhouses. He smiled coldly and said, “It’s out of our hands now. Let’s reform and head to the southern dockyard!” “Huh? But-‘ ” “The button hasn’t been pressed yet, right?” “If we head to the docks now, can we even board the ship?” Many people were puzzled by his decision. Falcon also staggered at Rhett’s words. But he quickly pulled himself together and nudged his partner.
“Enough nonsense! If Rhett says it’s out of our hands, that means the button Xan Saved has been pressed. So, let’s go with a peace of mind!” However, there were still people who were oblivious to the truth shouting, “Xan won!” “He activated the dock button!” “Victory!” “We can finally leave this hellhole!”
Rhett listened to them without bothering to correct their statements and just gave a small smile. He waited for the main army to leave and at the last moment, he rode his horse to the bottom of the only window on the third floor.
Swoosh!
Sure enough, there was a victim covered in bloodstains being thrown out of the window!
Rhett quickly reached out and caught the victim. It was a blood–covered Xan, evidently not in a victorious state.
“Rhett, I have failed! I have disgraced the Ophanim Clan!” Xan looked at him, guilt–ridden.
Rhett felt that something was amiss and immediately comforted him. “You’re wrong. The mission was completed. Do not drown yourself in guilt! The Alliance forces will definitely clinch the final victory!” “No, I am a failure!” Xan shook his head, his eyes devoid of any will to survive.
He had come to the Dark Night Islands with the mission to assassinate all high–ranking assignments. However, he ended up staying longer than he expected. Moreover, he was utterly defeated at the hands of Paul North. What gave him the right to return home? And how was he going to face the stares of others?
In addition, as the general of the Alliance troops at the Dark Night Islands, he barely contributed to this war. Instead, many people spilled blood under his Xan Saved leadership. How could he face the stares of the soldiers and generals of the Alliance troops?
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1876-Rhett watched Xan, his eyes filled with a mix of pity and resignation. The determination in Xan’s gaze was unwavering, a stark contrast to the despair that had consumed him. As Rhett knew Xan better than anyone, he understood the depths of his despair. Stopping him now would only delay the inevitable. It was better to let him leave on his own terms, with a shred of dignity intact.
Sqwelp!
Xan’s movement was swift and decisive. With a single, practiced motion, he plunged the dagger into his abdomen, falling to his knees at the western gate. His life ebbed away, leaving a chilling silence in his wake.
Falcon turned, his eyes fixed on the tragic scene. He knelt, offering three solemn bows to honor Xan’s sacrifice. The Alliance fighters stood in stunned silence, their grief palpable.
“Let’s go,” Rhett said, lifting his body onto a horse. “His final resting place A Battle of s should be in the land of the Ophanim Clan.” A At the eastern base, Emmanuel arrived just as the Airspace Group forces were overrun. The survivors surrendered without a fight.
Outside a room, Emmanuel’s voice echoed, “Quintus, find a way out! Break a window if you have to! I can’t come in unless you get out!
Inside, Quintus faced an elderly man, one of the original experts brought to the Dark Night Islands. The old man was no longer fit for the Airspace Group’s ideals, but his skills were undeniable.
“The Queen of the Dark Night Islands is dead,” the old man said, his voice calm. “Leave and send someone worthy.” Quintus scoffed. “You underestimate me, old man.” Ive been waiting for a young warrior who could defeat me,” the old man replied, his tone unchanged. “But it’s clear you’re not the one.”
A Battle of Resolve He wasn’t out to mock Quintus. He was merely speaking his mind.
“Ha! You’re wrong!” Quintus retorted, rising to his feet. His martial skills were no match for the old man’s, but he could take a beating.
The old man hadn’t gone for the kill, so Quintus, though battered and bruised, was still standing. “Oh, you’re still not giving up?” the old man asked. “There are only 20 minutes left until 6 a.m. If you don’t open the dockyard, you’ll lose any chance of escape.” “Twenty minutes? That’s all I need!” Quintus grinned.
His hands crackled with energy as he smirked. “I was in the dark at the beginning, not knowing that smashing the device was the answer, which is I why I couldn’t do anything. But an hour ago, I caught on. Yet, I didn’t destroy it. Any guesses, old man?” The old man hesitated, narrowing his eyes. “Oh? Think you’ve got the guts for that?” A Battle of Resolve “You bet I do!” Quintus chuckled. “I just wanted to wear you out. There’s a saying in Chanaea: ‘A wild flurry can take down even a master.‘ Give me two more hours, and I’ll tire you out, no matter what! Your weak punches can’t take me down!” The old man’s expression hardened. “If you insist, the entire Alliance will be trapped here because of you. You’ll bear all the blame. And once I kill you, I won’t be merciful enough to toss your body outside!” “Quintus, don’t be reckless! Get out now!” Sunny’s voice called out from outside.
Others wanted to shout as well. This wasn’t just his battle; the fate of the entire Alliance hung in the balance. How could they let one man risk it all?
But Emmanuel knew Quintus‘ stubborn nature well. Raising a hand, he signaled the others to stay quiet. “As the commander of the Eastern Route, I take full responsibility for anything that happens!” To them, Emmanuel was the ultimate leader, their absolute ruler.
“Ha ha…” Quintus laughed frenziedly. “If I’m going to die, so be it! As we say in Chanaea, ‘If I don’t go to hell, who will?‘ Bring it on!” With a crazed grin, Quintus charged at the old man like an unstoppable bull.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1877-The old man, a seasoned warrior, watched as Quintus, a young soldier from Tocvale, recklessly charged into battle H- as his spirit was indomitable His body, hardened by countless was a testament to without a strategy or a second ought he launched a powerful punch, his voice echoing with determination, “Rowstrength ct break through any ski!” The old man, recognizing the threat, bet down and delivered a swift kick aimed at Quintus abdomen to his astonishment, Quintus remained unmoved.
On closer inspection, the old man saw that his legs had sunk into the ground blood guishing from his mouth, the mawas clearly suffering from severe internal injunes The old man was shaken this young sapler was willing to die to protect the equipment behind him. “That’s enough, the old man said Tim going to smash this machine if you can stop me then try The Relentles With another furious roar, Quintus hurled himself at the equipment, his fist crashing down with all his might.
As the old saying goes, even a master fears a young fighter’s punch. Though the old man’s technique far surpassed Quintus‘, he didn’t dare block him now that he understood his intent. If the Queen of the Dark Night Islands were still alive, the old man might have fought with all he had, but with his fighting spirit now diminished, there was no point in sacrificing himself for a machine.
Boom!
With a thunderous boom, the equipment was demolished by Quintus.
The old man’s fist, poised to strike Quintus‘ heart, stopped just short. Had he struck, even Quintus‘ iron body would have been no match.
“Heh, old man, why didn’t you finish me off?” Quintus asked, turning around with a twisted grin.
The old man sighed. “I have no deep hatred for you. What would be the point of killing you? You’ve won–take your victory and go.” “Thanks, old man! I’m out of here!‘ Quintus didn’t waste any time, knowing that 6 a.m. was fast approaching.
Creak. The door opened.
Everyone was stunned to see Quintus walk out.
Emmanuel didn’t rush inside but asked with full confidence, “Did you take care of it?” “Heh, still don’t trust your number one rival? Of course, I did!” Quintus replied proudly, though he nearly collapsed from exhaustion.
Emmanuel quickly stepped forward to support him, joking, “With skills like that, you still think you can be my number one rival?” “Heh, so you’d rather have me as your big brother–in–law?” Quintus grinned.
Emmanuel smiled back but didn’t continue bantering. Instead, he shouted, The Relentless Fighter “Everyone, we’re heading to the southern region! The dockyard must be open by now!” As commander, he spoke with unwavering confidence. He trusted his brothers completely, a habit he’d developed since his days as the Wolf Warrior.
“Yes! We’ve won!” “We’re finally getting out of this hellhole!” “Freedom at last!” The Alliance troops cheered loudly. They believed in Emmanuel. Many, like Molly, saw Emmanuel as a figure of faith. And Emmanuel, in turn, saw them as family, leading them towards the southern region. Despite the pressing time, he made sure not to leave a single brother or sister behind. As for those who had fallen, they would rest forever on the Dark Night Islands.
Deep down, Emmanuel was a bit worried, afraid that they’d reach the southern region only to find the dockyard still closed.
The Resoflens Fighter But as he arrived at the dockyard, his face lit up with rellef, “Look! The gate is open!” “The Alliance has taken control of the ships!” “What a huge ship!” Behind him, the Alliance members were ecstatic houting in excitement.
Rhett walked up to Emmanuel and respectfully said, “Commander, I ordered the Alliance brothers to bring the ships to the dock–three in total, one large and two smaller ones. But right now, they’re empty. It’s up to you to decide who gets to board and who doesn’t!” Emmanuel glanced at the three ships and quickly estimated that they could hold no more than three thousand people.
With over two thousand Alliance members already at the dockyard, and the forces from the northern region yet to arrive, there might not be enough The Kainles room for everyone!
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1878-As the situation unraveled, fear spread through the crowd. As Emmanuel was about to inquire about Mackenzie, a voice called out from the shore, leaving him momentarily unsure of his next move, “Everyone, stay calm! The commander won’t leave anyone behind! Trust in him!” “Mackenzie!” Relief washed over Emmanuel as he saw Bella and the others had safely escorted Mackenzie to the dock. Without hesitation, he dropped Quintus and sprinted towards her.
“Seriously? Choosing a pretty face over your buddies?” Quintus grumbled, but when he tried to follow, Sunny held him back. “Let them have their moment.” “Emmanuel!” Mackenzie’s eyes brightened as she rushed toward him, her heart pounding. They gripped each other’s hands tightly, both overwhelmed.
If it weren’t for the crowd, I’d kiss her right now. “Are you okay?” he asked, concerned.
“I’m fine,” she reassured him, pointing to where Claudette stood under The Tones Affiance Aurora’s watchful eye.
Emmanuel nodded in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, the northern forces returned–victorious but battered. Out of over 3,000, fewer than 300 remained. With their numbers so reduced, concerns about overcrowding on the cruise ship disapp ired.
“Xarri, thanks for your help!” Emmanuel said gratefully.
“No, we should be thanking you. I knew you were destined to be the king of Dark Night Island, Xarri replied respectfully.
Emmanuel wasted no time on pleasantries. “All commanders, board the ship East, South, West, North, and Center! Keep it orderly! We’re short on time, and anyone who disobeys will face military consequences!” His firm tone got the 2,000–plus people at the dock to line up swiftly.
The Tenous Alfiance Just then, more figures appeared at the end of the road–Yasmine and Agargar, bringing the barely conscious Blake to the dock.
“It’s Ms. Morgan from the Airspace group!” 68%8 “Take them down!” Hatred filled the alliance members as they recognized Yasmine, who had escaped capture before. Now, she was walking right into their hands.
Emmanuel signaled them to hold back. If Yasmine and Agargar are going to die, I’ll handle it myself, I mean. I don’t need a crowd, especially with the possibility of a trap.
After all, Yasmine was known for her tricks.
“What are you doing here?” he asked bluntly.
“I’m here to take Blake back with me. He doesn’t belong here,” she said, glancing at Agargar, who helped the injured Blake off the horse.
“In the central region, he was seriously hurt while covering Her Holiness‘ move to the fifth level. I saved him in an emergency room,” she explained, adding, “There are medical supplies on the ship. If you don’t want him to die, he’ll make it through the trip back.” Mackenzie quickly chimed in, “Emmanuel, we need to bring Blake with us. I can’t explain it to Hattie if we leave him behind. He’s done so much to help us.
Emmanuel nodded, deciding to save Blake. He asked Yasmine, “Are you staying with the Airspace Group?” She nodded as her demeanor changed after the battle. Her sister was gone, Jax was nearly lost, and decades of the Airspace group’s work had been destroyed. Even a hardened heart would ache after all that.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?” he asked.
Yasmine didn’t respond. By bringing Blake here, she’d accepted the possibility of dying at the hands of the alliance. Agargar had tried to dissuade her, but she was resolute.
For saving Blake, I’ll spare your life,” Emmanuel decided. It’s only fair to let her live after she’s come to save Blake. He warned, “The Airspace group Is my enemy. The next time we meet, I won’t hesitate to kill you.” She said nothing and turned to leave with Agargar.
“Wait!” Emmanuel suddenly realized Harvey wasn’t at the dock and called out, “Did you see Harvey?”
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1879-Mackenzie felt a wave of anxiety wash over her. She had been entrusted with Sarah’s remains, and the uncertainty surrounding Harvey left her on edge.
She couldn’t decipher his true intentions and feared something might go wrong.
“He’s on his way too. Should we wait for him?” she asked, her voice tinged with worry.
Yasmine spoke bluntly, “We’re running out of time. If we don’t leave soon, the reinforcements from the Airspace Group will catch up with us. If that happens, we’ll all be lost at sea!” Emmanuel felt torn by the urgency of the situation. At that moment, Rhett approached and reported, “Commander, Your Holiness, the alliance is almost fully aboard. Please give the order to set sail!” He glanced back at the rapidly boarding alliance. In just a few more minutes, everyone would be on the ship. As the commander, I have to prioritize The Edge of Departure everyone’s safety, even if it means putting aside personal matters.
“We’ll set sail as soon as everyone is on board,” he decided, though it pained him to do so.
Mackenzie sensed the conflict within him as she squeezed his hand. I’m feeling the pain just as much! Sarah had wanted to break free from the Airspace Group before she passed. How could I let her remain alone in this place?
“Commander!” At that moment, a voice speaking Chanaea echoed from the road.
Emmanuel turned at the sound of a peculiar gasoline–powered vehicle approaching, and his tension eased as he saw Harvey behind the wheel. This Shoiyan didn’t let me down after all!
“Commander, I apologize for the delay. Transporting Her Reverence’s remains was difficult, so I arranged for a car. I hope you’ll forgive us for being late,” Harvey said, bowing slightly.
“Any later and it would have been unforgivable. Get on board quickly!” Emmanuel urged, signaling Harvey and his assistant to board the ship.
He walked over to the vehicle, looked at Sarah resting peacefully, and sighed deeply. His eyes reddened as he whispered, “Sarah, I’m taking you home. I swear I’ll visit your grave often and spend as much time as I can there, keeping you company as you deserve.” Mackenzie’s eyes also glistened with tears. I never imagined that the Quillen sisters, who have fought so fiercely, would end up like this. She took Emmanuel’s hand and softly said, “Sarah!” “Darling, we need to go,” Emmanuel didn’t want to create a disturbance or deepen his wife’s sorrow.
“Okay.” Mackenzie took his arm, and together they boarded the ship.
“Are you really not coming with us?” A voice suddenly cut through the tension.
The Edge of Departure Scarlet appeared from a hidden spot, sneering at Liana, who had been waiting there.
Liana was startled.
“If you’re not getting on, then I’m definitely boarding!” Scarlet declared, flicking her whip and wrapping it around the helm of a nearby ship.
“Lady Scarlet, take me with you!” Liana implored, grabbing Scarlet’s hand at the last moment.
Scarlet’s smile was cold as she jumped onto the ship with Liana, exchanging a glance with Rhett. He smirked and pretended not to notice them, turning away.
The ship’s horn blared, signaling its departure. Although it was still early evening, the surroundings brightened as the vessel left Dark Night Island.
Excitement spread among the passengers. Cheers and shouts of relief filled the air.
“We’re free!” The Edge of Departure “We’re finally leaving that cursed place!” “We’re going home!”
Seeing everyone’s jubilant faces, Emmanuel felt a measure of comfort. So many lives were sacrificed for this freedom–was it worth it? I’m not sure. But there’s no other choice.
D*mn the Airspace Group!
“Emmanuel, with the ship moving so slowly, it will take at least half a month to reach Chanaea. I wonder how everyone is faring?” Mackenzie joined him in their private cabin, taking his hand.
Despite the people’s eagerness to return, the ship’s speed couldn’t match that of an airplane.
“Yeah, let’s hope everything is alright.” My heart is heavy with worry. We’re facing threats from both the Holy Trinity and the Chamber of Commerce. Our enemies are numerous. As we head The Edge of Departure back to Chanaea, we need to speed up our development–eliminate Teddy from within and defeat the Holy Trinity from the exterior. Only then can we protect our loved ones and secure Chanaea’s future.
Love At The Wrong Table Chapter 1880-Even though the tasks of eliminating Teddy and defeating the Holy Trinity.
were bound to be incredibly challenging!
At the same time, elsewhere in the peninsula to the east of Chanaea, which was the territory of the Creuburgian. There was a secretive base lurking within it.
A man clad in strange armor entered a room brimming with screens and instruments.
In the room, a short–haired elder stood with his hands behind his back, intently watching a tiny light dot shifting across the dark monitor.
“Warlord, why let these rebels escape? Wouldn’t it be better to sink their ships directly? Our planes could catch up with them! The Northern Region War God of Chanaea is definitely not to be underestimated! Doing so would undoubtedly be sowing the seeds of calamity. It will be impossible to The Return of the Wolf Warrior him again!” the man in armor persuaded.
The elderly man with short hair sighed.
“Both the Great Saint King and the Queen agree with bombing the ships. It would be better for the Saintess to sink with the Wolf King’s corpse into the sea than to let these people return to Chanaea! If he makes it back, he will undoubtedly become a serious threat to the Holy Trinity! We don’t necessarily need top–level assassins to take them out–I can handle them all myself if needed!” Warlord still didn’t order the pursuit. He merely exhaled heavily and said, “There are actually two main reasons why I won’t bomb the ships!
“First, the Saintess and the child she carries are crucial to us! Sacrificing them to kill the Wolf Warrior would be too great a cost! Besides, even if we bomb the ship, there’s no guarantee that a man as powerful as the Wolf Warrior would die! It’s simply not worth the risk!
“Second, Teddy doesn’t truly share our interests. His ambitions are vast, and The Return of the Wolf Warrior even though we’re currently cooperating with him, it would be more beneficial to eliminate him. By letting Emmanuel return, we could get him to do the dirty work!” Warlord explained, exuding confidence in his speech.
The armored man fell silent! Even beyond the clash with Teddy, the Holy Trinity itself was far from unified!
The road to global domination was still a distant dream!
Within a modest villa in Zovince, Chanaea, contrary to Emmanuel’s understanding, the citizens of Zovince saw Teddy, the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, as a paragon of integrity who lived in a modest home. Few realized the extensive real estate he held in Chanaea and overseas, or the true magnitude of his wealth!
As for the rumors of him killing his brother to become the head of the Tanner family, no one knows if they were ever true!
Tonight, he was in a robe, standing in the backyard of his villa, gazing at the starry autumn sky. He wasn’t particularly tall or imposing, but his neatly trimmed mustache gave him an air of distinction and authority. It seemed as though he was waiting for something.
“Teddy, why aren’t you asleep yet?” his wife, a few years older than him, inquired. Her name was Catherine Adams, 54 years old. She had gentle, aged features that mirrored her years.
“Ican’t sleep, Catherine. You should go ahead and get some rest!” Teddy replied with a smile.
Married for twenty–eight years, they had always treated each other with mutual respect.
” “Alright. Make sure you get some rest soon!” Catherine, who was never one to impose restrictions, went to her room to sleep.
After she had left, he received a phone call.
“Mr. Teddy, it looks like the Airspace Group’s plan has failed! Satellite tracking 10- The Return of the Wor has detected a ship leaving Dark Night Islands today. If all goes as expected, it should be Emmanuel and Mackenzie returning!” The voice on the other end of the line was that of Mike Connaught.
Teddy’s two primary assistants were Levi, who managed domestic affairs.
The other one was Mike, who was more enigmatic and rarely seen, as he managed international matters for Teddy.
“Let them return,” Teddy responded with little concern.
“Although Dark Night Islands belong to the Holy Trinity and we can’t investigate what’s going on inside, my joint investigation with Levi strongly suggests that Emmanuel is indeed the Wolf Warrior from back then! If he truly manages to liberate Dark Night Island this time and gather a large number of skilled allies, his strength will become formidable. At that point, he will surely become a serious threat to you, Mr. Teddy!” Mike warned.
Teddy nodded, remaining silent for a moment.
Eventually, he said, “I understand. Monitor the Holy Trinity closely! The Return of the Wolf Warrior presidential election of Chanaea is approaching. With it impacting everyone’s fate, they’re bound to make significant moves soon!
