âShould you ever turn against the Quillen family, Iâll take down the Fletcher
family without hesitation. Donât try my patience!â
As Emmanuelâs threat echoed in the room, Jake quickly concealed his
unease with a strained smile. âMr. Lowe, you have nothing to worry about.
Weâre on the same side, and I wouldnât dream of going against you. Iâll begin
the search for Roselynn immediately.â
âThatâs exactly what I wanted to hear!â His tone grew warmer with approval.
âIâll head to Silver Fox Military now. If you manage to find my sister, Iâll make
sure they pay for it.â
âThank you, Mr. Lowe!â Jake bowed with heartfelt gratitude. His posture and
the troubled look in his eyes betrayed the lingering resentment he harbored
toward the Silver Fox Military.
As they were heading out, Raina burst in her face marked by concern. âDad,
several of our relatives are here. They insist on seeing both of you right

Seeing her concern, Emmanuel realized that the Fletcher family wasnât all on
the same page as Jake. The image of the enchanting, masked woman from
earlier lingered in his mind, and he felt a disturbing pull as if he were being
drawn into the heart of the familyâs intense powerâstruggle.
Jake frowned, clearly deep in thought. After a brief pause, he turned to
Emmanuel with a request. âMr. Lowe, would you come with me to meet my
father?â
âOf course,â he agreed.
He viewed the Fletcher family not just as a potential ally but as a key piece in
his plan to bring down Teddy. Building strong connections was crucial, and
the Fletcher familyâs offer to align with him was an opportunity he wasnât
about to let slip by.
As they left the reception hall, they entered a larger chamber where an
elderly man sat at the head of a long, polished table. Surrounding him were

several men, along with their wives, creating a scene of bustling activity. The
Fletcher family was clearly a formidable and wellâestablished clan, their
influence and stature far exceeding that of the Quillen family.
âGood evening, everyone,â Jake said with deep respect, âallow me to
introduce the Grandmaster of Nuthana, Mr. Emmanuel Lowe
Despite Jakeâs respectful tone, the family members eyed Emmanuel with a
blend of curiosity and suspicion, their polite smiles barely masking their true
feelings.
Old Mr. Fletcher rose from his seat, his demeanor courteous but firm. âMr.
Lowe, please excuse our lack of proper greeting. We werenât expecting you,
but weâre glad to make your acquaintance.â
Emmanuel, showing his respect for elders, smiled pleasantly. âPlease donât
worry about it, Old Mr. Fletcher. I apologize for arriving unannounced. I hope
itâs not too much of an inconvenience.â
Old Mr. Fletcher, clearly aware of the situation, quickly set the tone. âMr. Lowe,

weâre currently engaged in important discussions with Ms. Tanner.
Unfortunately, we donât have time to entertain uninvited guests. I must ask
you to leave.â
Although his words were polite, Emmanuel could detect a clear undercurrent
of hostility. It was evident that his presence was unwelcome.
At the same moment, he figured out who the mesmerizing, masked woman
was. It turned out to be Xylie, the daughter of the Tanner family. Her
appearance, combined with the current turmoil, made it clear that she was
working to draw the Fletcher family to their side.
âFather, Mr. Lowe must not leave, and I refuse to cooperate with the Tanner
family!â Jake declared, his voice firm and defiant. âAligning with the Tanners
may seem like a step forward, but their soâcalled âreconciliationâ is just a
smokescreen to make us subordinate to the Quill family. In the end, theyâll
easily swallow up our assets and resources!â
His words sparked an immediate uproar among the other family members.
Heated discussions erupted, reflecting the deep divisions within the Fletcher

family.
In the midst of this chaos, Emmanuel felt the gravity of the situation. The
Fletcher family was deeply divided, with some eager to align with the
Tanners for their own protection, while others, like Jake, were resolutely
against becoming pawns to the Quills. For them, it was a matter of pride and
survival. The idea of submitting to the Quills was a bitter pill to swallow, and
once they committed, there would be no turning back.
Emmanuel had no intention to get entangled in the Fletcher familyâs internal
squabbles. Their family drama was not his concern, but the unfolding events
were undeniably intriguing.
Just as he turned to leave, Jake stepped forward again, blocking his way. Mr.
Lowe, please, youâre not just an uninvited guest here. We truly appreciate you
and need your help here. Letâs work together!â
Before he could say a word, Damienâs voice cut through the tension with a
chilling edge. âJake, tell me youâre not seriously thinking of teaming up with
the Quillens to challenge the Tanners and the Quills, are you?â

The room fell silent as every gaze turned toward Jake, the atmosphere thick
with unease.
It was an obvious deduction, and Jaké had no reason to deceive anyone at
this point. For any plan to work, he needed the backing of the family,
especially the approval of Old Mr. Fletcher.
