Emmanuel let out a soft sigh. Now that Terence had caught on, there was no use in keeping it a secret.

After a brief moment of thought, he admitted, âGrandpa, I can share something with you, but you must promise to keep it a secret. If this gets out, Iâll be left with no option but to face dire consequences.â
âIs it that serious?â Terence raised an eyebrow.
âYes, Grandpa. Do you still want to hear it?â Emmanuel gazed at Terence earnestly, his look conveying immense
pressure.
Emmanuel let out a soft sigh. Now that Terence had figured it out, there was no point in continuing to hide.
âHaha, of course, Iâm all ears. I need to hear it.â Terence chuckled.
As he neared the end of his life, what did it matter if he carried a secret with him? What truly mattered was his curiosity about his grandson-in-lawâs real identity and the kind of man chosen for his granddaughter.
âIâm the retired Wolf Warrior from the Northern Region, currently burdened with a challenging mission.â
âWhat?â Even though Terence had mentally prepared himself, Emmanuelâs confession still left him in shock.
âThree and a half years ago, the Chairman of the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce colluded with foreign enemies, sparking a war. The Northern Region defended the Chanaea border, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of heroic youths. The Wolf Warrior Corps also crumbled in that battle.â
âIâm currently laying low in Yeringham, operating under a false identity, biding my time for the right moment to strike against the enemy nation. Iâm seeking revenge for Chanaea, for the Northern Region, and for my fallen comrades.â Now that Emmanuel had disclosed his identity, he had no qualms about sharing his ultimate goal with Terence.
âThe Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Teddy Mole?â Terence gasped, his expression betraying disbelief.
As the wealthiest man in Yeringham, Terence was well-acquainted with this influential figure. Compared to Teddyâs wealth and status, Terence considered himself insignificant. He couldnât help but think that Emmanuel was planning to assassinate someone of Teddyâs stature.
âThatâs correct.â Emmanuel nodded.
âAre you aware of his close connections with many influential families and corporations? Even if you manage to assassinate him successfully, it could trigger significant chaos in Chanaea. The Quillen family might end up being entangled in the fallout alongside you,â Terence cautioned, offering Emmanuel some reassurance.
Even though Terence knew the target of Emmanuelâs mission, he had no intention of distancing himself from Emmanuel.
âOf course, Iâm aware,â Emmanuel affirmed. âThatâs why Iâve devised a plan to oust him from the position of Chamber of Commerce President, isolate him, and then eliminate him.â
âOhâ¦â Terence looked slightly flustered. He leaned on his cane, pacing back and forth before continuing, âSo, your strategy involves leveraging the Quillen family to join the Chamber of Commerce and then taking action to bring Teddy down?â
âThatâs right.â Emmanuel nodded, appreciating the savvy Terence who saved him from having to explain further.
âYou didnât plan this from the beginning, did you?â Terence eyed Emmanuel with suspicion. Being the Wolf Warrior, Emmanuel might have been feigning weakness all along.
âGrandpa, please donât get the wrong idea. I only took on this mission after marrying Mackenzie.â Emmanuel clarified swiftly, âIf you donât want the Quillen family to be involved, I wonât use them for anything.â
âHmmâ¦â Terence furrowed his brows, entering a deep contemplation. After a considerable pause, he sighed. âIâve heard about some of Teddyâs actions. That man does indeed have a notorious reputation. Thereâs a rumor circulating that when he was young, he went as far as killing his brothers to seize power, leading to the disintegration of the Tanner Family.â
He continued, âIn his quest to become the President of the Chamber of Commerce, he resorted to assassinating those who opposed him, leaving his hands stained with blood. Inever imagined heâd go so far as to deliberately collude with foreign enemies, sparking a war that drenched the Chanaea-border in blood. Ah⦠Chanaea is unfortunate to have such a villain.â
Emmanuel listened in silence, the anger in his heart reigniting.
For the sake of personal gain, he sacrificed tens of thousands of brothers in the Northern Region, and the Wolf Warrior Army vanished as a consequence. He vowed that revenge must be taken.
âEmmanuel, this matter is of great importance. Itâs not that I donât want to help you, but I donât have the ability.â Terence also admitted, âRegardless, Iâll transfer the Quillen familyâs assets to Mackenzie. That wonât change. Whether Mackenzie decides to assist you or not, thatâs a decision sheâll make in the future.â
