Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 1707
Sure enough, Freya compromised.
âAlright, in that case, I must be the one to set the rules for the new Grim
Reaperâs Duel!â
Mackenzie was a master negotiator, deliberately asking for too much to
begin with, waiting for the other side to bargain before revealing her true
intentions. As expected, Freya could only nod in agreement, as this demand
was minor compared to Mackenzieâs earlier condition.
Then, she quickly ordered the people behind her, including Yasmine, to leave.
This left the two women alone, making Mackenzie feel like a caged bird with
nothing to support her words. However, Mackenzie was clever; with just the
two of them, she did not provoke Freya and even tried to build rapport.
âMs. Morgan, Hattie often mentioned you to me. I never thought Iâd meet you
here!â
âOh, Hattie.â Freya was slightly taken aback.

It was Yasmine who informed her that the Saintess wanted to see the
Warlord, who then directed her to come since she was the queen of the
island. Freya knew about Mackenzieâs relationship with Hattie, but she had no
feelings left for the children she had left with the Zelinsky family.
She had married Ezra for the organizationâs grand plan, and after completing
her mission, she hadnât returned to the Zelinsky family for twenty years.
âYes, Hattie often talks about you, saying she misses her mother! It would be
wonderful if you could bring her here too!â Mackenzie probed.
She and Emmanuel had arrived in such a hurry that they hadnât had time to
contact outside forces. If they could also bring Hattie, there might be a
chance to break through the Dark Night Islands from the outside.
Unfortunately, Freya was no fool and remained cautious. She replied with a
smile, âIt is Hattieâs honor to befriend Your Holiness. However, I have many
matters to attend to and cannot make arrangements at the moment. After
Your Holiness gives birth on the island, I will certainly bring her to visit you!â

Freyaâs watertight response left Mackenzie with no recourse.
The two continued their conversation, but Mackenzie couldnât gain any
further advantage. The only bargaining chip she had was the power to set
the rules for the Grim Reaperâs Duel, which she had to use carefully to help
Emmanuel fight against the Airspace Group.

The following evening, Emmanuel, led by Aqua, returned to the islandâs
center. This time, he came as the leader of the Black Wolf Team, not only for
registration but also to receive the latest rules and match schedule for the
Grim Reaperâs Duel.
The central region was larger than Emmanuel had imagined. The tower he
had infiltrated last time was within the center, surrounded by many modern
buildings.
Emmanuel and Aqua, heavily guarded by the Airspace Group, entered the
conference hall.

Seizing the opportunity, Emmanuel observed the representatives of the
islandâs forces to understand the types of peopleâor rather, species-
present on the island. After all, it was called Devilâs Island, so it might not be
populated solely by humans.
Suddenly, Emmanuel started, for he saw a familiar face from Yeringham.
âQuintus!â Emmanuel shouted excitedly from a distance.
He and Mackenzie had come all this way because of a letter from this guy.
Finding him almost certainly meant finding Claudette, and Emmanuel could
hardly contain his excitement. However, the conference hall was quite large,
filled with a mix of characters, and Emmanuelâs shout immediately attracted
everyoneâs attention.
âWho is that guy? He looks unfamiliar. Iâve never seen him before!â
âIsnât the girl beside him the Black Wolf Teamâs logistic member?â
âWhatâs going on? Is he the new leader of the Black Wolf Team?â

âThis trash replaced last yearâs champion, Xarri?! Haha, looks like the Black
Wolf Team is doomed this year!â
âWhy isnât Quell leading anymore? Did she give up? Hahaâ¦â
The crowd began to chatter.
Quintus was also very excited, finally seeing Emmanuel, which likely meant
Mackenzie, his crush, was also on the island.
âSilence! Everyone, quiet down!â
The onâsite supervisor of the Airspace Group shouted loudly. However, no
one on this island was easy to handle, and mere words couldnât calm them
down. Emmanuel also wanted to reunite with Quintus as quickly as possible,
paying no heed to the chaos.
Just then, a gunshot rang out in the conference hall.
Yasmine herself fired
