Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 1932
âIs that so?â Salemâs eyes widened in disbelief.
He furrowed his brow and fell silent momentarily before letting out a soft
grunt. âMost great fighters from thirty years ago have retired into obscurity
But the word on the street is that the strongest in the martial arts world today
are Gwain Lannister and the Northern Wolf Warrior. If what you say is true,
then this young man must indeed possess exceptional talent.â
âGreat Master, what should we do? Do you want us to kill them all?â Gary
asked, bowing with a gaze filled with murderous intent.
The Ancient Woods was the heart of the Summerton familyâs power, a
fortress filled with deadly traps and ingenious mechanisms. Three young
Lannisters breaking in? Even if the entire Lannister clan were to launch an
assault, the Summertons could easily wipe them out.
However, no one dared to act rashly without explicit orders from Salem.

To everyoneâs surprise, his response was unexpectedly calm.
âLet them come,â he said, his voice eerily calm. âAfter all, the Dragon Tome
rightfully belongs to the Lannister family. Itâs only fitting that it should return to
its rightful owners.â
Gary was stunned into silence. The Dragon Tome was legendary, the most
coveted martial arts manual in existence. Every fighter in the world would
give anything to possess it. Yet Salem was handing it over so easily.
âYou may go now,â Salem said, dismissing Gary with a wave. He then turned to his twentyâeighth wife and instructed, âBring me the scripture.â
As she hurried to fulfill his request, Salem addressed Julian and his siblings,
âYou are of Summerton blood, even if youâre from an outer branch. Every
family member has studied the Dragon Tome for thirty years, yet none have fully comprehended its secrets. Now, Iâm entrusting it to you. Letâs see if you
possess the talent to decipher it.â
This unexpected turn of events took Julian aback. While he wasnât entirely

sure of the Dragon Tomeâs significance, he knew that it must be incredibly
valuable if Gwain was willing to risk his life for it. Why would his

Ashton, noticing her brotherâs hesitation and fearing he might decline this
golden opportunity, quickly interjected, âThank you, GreatâGrandpa! We
promise to study it diligently!â
Her mind was already racing with visions of power. She imagined herself
becoming as formidable as Emmanuel. She dreamed of the day when that
man would no longer dare look down on her. Revenge and gloryâit would all
come so easily if she mastered the ultimate martial arts.
âVery well. Take it with you,â Salem said as his twentyâeighth wife returned
with a yellowed scripture. He handed it to Julian casually.
Julian accepted it without much thought, while Ashton was so caught up in
her fantasies of power that she didnât notice anything odd. Roselynn, however, had a keen eye and quickly realized something was off. The

scripture didnât look ancientâit barely appeared to be thirty years old!
After handing over the Dragon Tome, Salem instructed them to leave via the
back of the mountain.
Ashton, consumed with excitement and eager to start training, had
completely forgotten the reason they had come in the first place. Meanwhile,
though more cautious, Julian couldnât think of a good reason to stay when
Salém ordered them to leave.
âJulian, let me see that book,â Roselynn requested, her instincts telling her
something was amiss. She wanted to inspect it before they even began their
descent. She had a gut feeling that Salem had no intention of protecting
them. He seemed to want to hurry them out of Ancient Woods.

âHere!â Julian handed the book over without a second thought. He would giv
Roselynn anything she wantedâeven his life if she asked.
She carefully examined the cover and back of the book. The material looked suspiciously modern for what was purported to be an ancient, legendary

martial arts scripture. When she opened it, her suspicions were confirmedâit
was a printed version!
âAre you kidding me?â Julian exclaimed, his realization dawning. Did
GreatâGrandpa just play us for fools?â
Ashtonâs fantasies of power crumbled instantly, replaced by a surge of anger.
âThis canât be some cheap, fake martial arts manual, can it? Whereâs the
printing press for this thing?â If Roselynn hadnât stopped her, she might have
torn the book to pieces right then and there.
âCalm down,â Roselynn cautioned, her mind working to make sense of the
situation. âWeâll take it back and have my younger brother examine it. Heâll
know if itâs real or not.â
She knew they couldnât have come all this way for nothing. She suspected
Salem was not treating them as true family members but as tools to use, but
she had no proof.
As the trio grappled with their discovery, Gwain and his two companions had
