The thought only heightened Mackenzie’s tension. If Emmanuel aimed to

clinch the championship, he would have to overcome Eshal’s two formidable

opponents. That meant facing off against nearly all the top–notch fighters in

the Grand Martial Showdown.

She couldn’t help but wonder if her husband’s body could withstand such a

grueling challenge. And before that, he would have to confront Austin.

She vividly recalled the disdainful glance Austin had shot Emmanuel when he

delivered the news about Quintus. The Quintus instructor looked down on

Emmanuel, but she couldn’t help but wonder just how powerful this devilish

instructor from Tocvale was.

Just then, Nigel had triumphed over his opponent in the arena and advanced

aggressively to the top 16.

So, Hannah approached and linked arms with Bernett. “Lovely ladies of the

Quillen family, we eagerly anticipate Emmanuel leading us to the

Chapter 1606 Arrogance

quarterfinals and tomorrow’s final showdown.”

Bernett’s pretentious demeanor turned the stomachs of the Quillen women.

But what truly saddened them was Hannah’s decision. She had chosen to

stand against her own family.

Samantha and the other sisters scolded Hannah, but Mackenzie remained

stoic. Since Mackenzie had announced her disownment of Hannah from the

family, she no longer took Hannah seriously.

Mackenzie didn’t even bother to look at Hannah, who stared back at her

intently. “Mackenzie, I’ve watched you grow up. I hope that after the Quillen

family’s downfall, the Heart of the Sun will pass to the Finch family, who will

continue to support the Quillen family in the future.”

“Hmph! Spare me your sentimentality,” Mackenzie retorted coldly. Despite her

inner turmoil, she knew familial ties had to take a backseat in times of great

importance. She couldn’t afford to sympathize with Hannah.

“If you still recall your Quillen lineage, you should understand that we would

never hand the Heart of the Sun to outsiders. Abandon that thought!”

Mackenzie’s coldness made Hannah uneasy. Hannah sneered and

countered, “So, are you sure you want to treat me as an outsider?”

Mackenzie’s response took aback Bernett and Hannah. They had believed

Mackenzie to be cold on the surface but warm at heart, yet she proved

ruthlessly uncompromising.

“Hannah, that’s enough!” Samantha stormed over and angrily rebuked her

sister. “You were the one who instigated the feud against us. If you want to

reconcile and rejoin the family, apologize to Mackenzie now and promise to

behalf.”

“No need!” Hannah interjected icily. “We didn’t come here to argue with you.

Since you’ve chosen this path, don’t blame us for being unforgiving. We’ll

settle this at the Grand Martial Showdown.” With those biting words, she left

with Bernett.

“This is hilarious!” Shane burst into laughter. He was relieved that he could.

finally express his amusement about the internal affairs of the Quillen family.

“How can anyone be so clueless? Just wait until Emmanuel sets them

straight!”

While Shane’s words were blunt, Mackenzie couldn’t help but agree. She

couldn’t understand how Hannah failed to see the truth, especially when

even Shane recognized that the Finch family’s fighters stood no chance

against Emmanuel.

Where did Hannah’s arrogance come from? She seemed determined to defy

the Quillen family for the sake of the Finch family.

The match continued to unfold with excitement, but Mackenzie and the

others from the Quillen no longer in the mood to watch the other

matches. They gritted their teeth and eagerly anticipated Emmanuel’s

showdown with Nigel from the Finch family later that night.

But before that, Emmanuel would have to face Austin. Soon, the two top

fighters stood on the stage.

“I never thought we’d meet here.”

As the match commenced, neither rushed to make the first move. Austin,

known for his arrogance, assumed his usual posture. He gestured and said,

“I’ve said it before–you lack killer instinct. Your kindness holds you back, and

you’re missing the essential fighter spirit necessary for martial arts.

Unfortunately, your skills would be far greater if not for this.” Being a military

man, he had great confidence in his analytical approach.

Despite Emmanuel’s rating being only S- Level, his performance in previous

matches had been outstanding. In particular, his earlier match against Yosef showcased his abilities, and Emmanuel proved to be on par with his

opponent.
