Love at the 1892
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 1892
His gaze remained fixed on a particular pile of rubble, an unsettling calm
before the storm. Then, in an instant, the darkness within him receded,
replaced by a calculated silence. He moved toward the ruins with a
deliberate grace, intent on catching whatever lay hidden off guard and
delivering a crushing blow.
Boom!
Despite his careful plotting, the ruins erupted prematurely, and from within, a
crimson figure sprang forth, as if defying the very fabric of expectation.
âStay here!â
Rhettâs punch cut through the air with lethal intent, aimed at subduing the elusive fighter who had been ensconced within the Quillen residence. His
confidence was unshakableâhe was, after all, the reigning monarch of Dark
Night Island.
Yet as his fist neared the opponentâs cloak, the force of his strike dissipated

into nothingness. The figure used the diversion to vault onto a charred tree,
its presence a daunting silhouette against the smoldering backdrop.
Rhettâs heart skipped a beat. The figureâs cloak, nearly identical in hue to his
own, was only a shade more crimson, suggesting an opponent whose
strength might rival his own.
âWho are you?â Rhett demanded, his voice a low growl.

The cloaked man, his face obscured by an Envoy Aora mask, regarded Rhett
with equal caution. He had lain in wait within the Quillen residence,
anticipating Emmanuelâs return to ambush and annihilate the couple. The
appearance of another formidable adversary was an unforeseen
complication.
âHoly Guardian, Rhett.â The manâs voice bore a hint of mockery. Rhettâs
respect for formidable opponents was undeniable, and this individualâs
prowess warranted a response in kind.
âAnd you? Why have you been skulking in the Quillen residence?â Rhettâs voice

grew steely, a subtle menace creeping in.
âHaha, you are scarcely worthy of knowing my identity.â The masked manâs
words were laced with deliberate provocation, his demeanor dismissive.
âThen you shall not leave here alive.â Rhettâs eyes ignited with a fierce
intensity as he took a menacing step forward.
âIn this world, if I choose to leave, no force can detain me.â The Envoy Aora
tensed, his aura radiating a formidable power.
âLet me test that claim.â Rhettâs cape whipped out with sudden violence.
Though crafted from a supple material, it spun with the deadly precision a
steel blade, its edges razorâsharp and ready to slice through flesh.
Boom!
The Envoy Aora leaped nimbly from the tree, narrowly avoiding the spinning
cape. The tree toppled with a thunderous crash behind him.
âHeh heh, letâs see you withstand this!â The Envoy Aora unleashed a torrent of
Chapter 1892 The Clash of Shadows
flames from beneath his cloak.
Rhettâs eyes narrowed, astonished by the unexpected display of fire. Though
the flames lacked the searing intensity of the Queen of the Dark Night Islandsâ
fire, their breadth was broader, and their concealment more profound.
The Envoy Aora believed his flames had found their mark, but he soon
discovered they halted abruptly, unable to advance beyond half a meter
from Rhett.
âSuch formidable energy,â the Envoy Aora murmured in astonishment.
But before he could fully grasp the implications, a crimson streak slashed
downward from beneath the cloak.
âWhat?!â Rhettâs shock was palpable. He hadnât anticipated this masterful use
of diversion, a surprise attack that revealed the opponentâs flawless
amalgamation of strength, speed, and technique. This adversary, with his
impeccable balance of offense and defense, would prove as formidable as
the Queen of the Dark Night Islands herself.

Blood erupted from the scorched courtyard like a grim fountain, staining the
ashes with its crimson spray,
âHeh heh, Holy Guardian, youâre nothing special!â The Envoy Fordâs laughter
rang out with a chilling triumph, echoing through the desolate ruins,
Yet Rhett did not turn to face him. Instead, he stood with his back turned,
arms crossed, eyes closed in a stance of serie calm. His indifference was as
unsettling as it was defiant.
âDie!â The Envoy Aoraâs voice was a sneer of contempt as he prepared to
strike again, intent on eliminating the soâcalled Holy Guardian before dealing
with Emmanuel. Eradicating this threat would pave the way for his plans,
removing all potential dangers.
But fate had other designs. An unseen force, swift and relentless, surged
toward him. If not for his reflexes, Envoy Aora and his three companions
would have been ensnared by Rhettâs hidden trap, meeting their end in an
Chapter 1892 The Clash of Shadows instant.
Whooshâsplat!

The invisible energy missed its mark, instead shattering the rubble behind
the Envoy Aora into a cascade of dark fragments.
âNot bad, youâre worthy of being my opponent.â A sheen of cold sweat broke
out on Envoy Aoraâs brow as he finally conceded the formidable prowess of
his adversary.
Rhettâs lips curled into a disdainful sneer. His crimson cape, seemingly
animated by its own will, writhed and spiraled, attacking from an unexpe ea
angle.
âDonât get too cocky!â The Envoy Aoraâs tone was laced with fury. He gathered
a gale of power, deftly evading the cape and unleashing a fullâforce punch
aimed straight at Rhett.
Rhett, unflinching, met the challenge headâon.

Their fists clashed In a thunderous collision, creating a brief moment of
perfect balance. But the force of their confrontation had catastrophic
repercussions. The surrounding landscape was ravaged, swept away as if by
an unrelenting hurricane, leaving devastation in its wake.
Splat.
The exertion of their struggle caused Rhettâs old wounds, remnants of battles
fought on Dark Night Island, to burst open anew. Pain surged through him, a
debilitating reminder of his vulnerability. To an ordinary fighter, such injuries
might be trifling, but in a duel of masters, even the smallest flaw could b
fatal.
âYouâre finished!â The Envoy Aoraâs eyes gleamed with lethal intent as he
advanced, his strike poised to pierce Rhettâs heart.
