Chapter 1895
Accept it! Emmanuel, you have to accept it! Sage and Eve thought.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Emmanuel closed his eyes,
drawing in a deep breath to steady himself. When he opened them again,
determination had replaced hesitation. With a crisp movement, he snapped
to attention and saluted.
âEmmanuel Lowe, accepting the appointment,â he declared, his voice
unwavering.
collective sigh of relief filled the room as Sage and Eve felt the burden of
uncertainty lift from their shoulders. Their faces lit up with joy and pride as
they enthusiastically saluted Emmanuel
âSage Payne, Northern Regionâs 3âStar Lieutenant General of Field Forces,
reporting to the Commander!â Sage proclaimed, his voice filled with pride.
âEve Thompson, Northern Regionâs 3âStar Lieutenant General of Logistics,
reporting to the Commander!â Eve followed suit, her voice ringing with equal

enthusiasm.
Emmanuelâs heart swelled as he watched his trusted allies express their
support. He nodded appreciatively, acknowledging their loyalty with a
respectful salute.
Once the excitement had subsided, Emmanuel turned to Santiago, his brow
furrowing with concern. âWhatâs the deal with the Wolf Warrior Unit? I
new
remember it was disbanded by presidential order back then. How can it be
reinstated now?â
Santiagoâs expression grew somber, the lines on his face deepening. âThatâs
exactly why I was in such a hurry to reach you. Fortunately, you made it back
just in time!â
From his grave expression, Emmanuel sensed that something major had
occurred. Years ago, the Northern Region suffered devastating losses due to
his earlier decisions. In response, the furious president ordered the
permanent dissolution of the Wolf Warrior Unit.

A year ago, when Santiago asked him to return to the Northern Region, he
had mentioned that even if Emmanuel agreed, restoring him to his previous
rank would be nearly impossible. Yet now, Santiago was reviving the wor
Warrior Unit and reinstating Emmanuelâs title as a 5âStar Honored Bottle
General. Such a drastic turn of events could only mean one thingâpowerful
forces were at play behind the scenes.
Santiago confirmed Emmanuelâs suspicions with his next words. 24 days ago,
the president was assassinated. Although he survived, he was severely
injured and is now in a vegetative state in the ICU. This incident has shocked
the world.â
âWhat?â Emmanuelâs mind raced, quickly calculating the timeline. The date of
the assassination attempt coincided with their departure by ship to return to
Chanaea. Could there be a connection?
âCommander Adkins,â Eve interjected, âwasnât there a topâtier bodyguard
assigned to the president? With such protection, how could anyone have
managed to assassinate him?â

Eveâs curiosity was palpable. National secrets were tightly guarded, and she
struggled to get detailed information. However, Santiago was different. As the

highestâranking general in Chanaeaâs military, he had access to almost all
classified information.
Sage, too, was intrigued. Although it was widely known that the Southern
Lannister and Northern Wolf Warrior were the most formidable martial forces
in Chanaea in recent years, the presidentâs bodyguard was reputed to be
equally impressive. They had never faced this legendary figure themselves,
so they wondered about his true capabilities.
Santiagoâs tone grew somber. âIndeed, the presidentâs bodyguard was
renowned for his skills. But even the mightiest warriors are not immune to the
ravages of time. Eventually, the old guard must give way to the new.â
His implication was clearâthe onceâlegendary bodyguard had passed away.
The gravity of the situation settled over the room like a heavy cloak. Santiago pressed on, outlining the political ramifications of the assassination attempt.

âThe country cannot be without leadership. In light of this crisis, Congress has
passed a resolution to elect a new president within three months to handle
national affairs.â
He paused for effect, ensuring he had their full attention before continuing.
âThere are three candidates for the presidency. The first is Ethan Hale, the
former presidentâs personally appointed Prime Minister. Heâs a trusted
confidant who has dedicated his life to serving the nation and its people.â
Santiago moved on to the second candidate. âCatherine Adams, the
Secretary of the Treasury. Her name might not immediately ring a bell, but
her background is significant.â
Emmanuelâs curiosity was piqued. âWhat is her background?â
Santiago replied solemnly, âShe comes from the Zelinsky family of Zovince
and is married to Teddy Mole.â
Emmanuelâs eyes widened. âTeddy Moleâs wife?â he exclaimed, his mind
already racing to connect the dots between the assassination attempt and

this revelation.
Santiago noticed Emmanuelâs growing agitation and raised a hand, âDonât
jump to conclusions just yet. Thereâs still the third candidate to consider,â
âWhoâs the third candidate?â Emmanuel asked. âCould it be someone
connected to the Holy Trinity?â
A glimmer of pride flashed in Santiagoâs eyes at his discipleâs astute guess.
âYou may seem naive, but youâre quite sharp!â He chuckled. âThe third
candidate is Mason Morgan, the Secretary of Agriculture.
âMason Morgan?â The name caught Emmanuel off guard. He wondered if he
should have brought that halfâdead Blake alongâcould this Mason Morgan
be another of Blakeâs brothers?
Santiago confirmed Emmanuelâs suspicions. âAccording to our intelligence,
Mason Morgan is likely the younger brother of Freya Morgan, Queen of the
Dark Night Islands, and the third eldest among the Morgan family siblings.â
