Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 2006
âHa! Just a moment ago, you were so cocky. What happened to that
expression now?â
The female assassin mocked, raising her hand with deadly intent aimed at
Ethan.
Chester had already closed his eyes in despair, resigned to his fate. The
female assistant and the others stood frozen, their faces etched with
hopelessness as they helplessly witnessed the unfolding tragedy.

Yet, Ethan merely sighed softly, feeling no fear, only a profound sense of
regret. In the unforgiving world of survival, he had to accept the hand he had
been dealt.
Just then, at the last possible moment, the male flight attendantâwhom
everyone had assumed to be an assassinâpushed his way through the
crowd. He moved like lightning, stepping forward and gripping the assassinâs
wrist with unyielding strength.

The assassin gasped in shock, her instincts flaring to life. As she lifted her
gaze to size up her opponent, her other hand readied to strike at Emmanuel
from behind.
However, before she could act, he had already subdued her completely.
âAh? Itâs you!â she exclaimed, surprise flickering across her face.
Emmanuel furrowed his brow, pausing the lethal action he had intended.
Instead, he pushed her down to the ground.
To his astonishment, she turned out to be none other than Snake Masterâs
sister, Lady Rosa. She had not turned over a new leaf; she remained firmly
entrenched in her old ways.
âDamn it! I wonât let you harm Mr. Hale!â Chester shouted, his heart racing.
Though Chester lacked the strength to match his opponent, he lunged at Emmanuel with fierce determination, resolute in his desire to protect his
leader.

Emmanuel seized both of Chesterâs fists and shouted, âStop! Weâre on the
same side! Iâm Mr. Wolf!â
âHuh?!â
The female assistant gasped in realization. After retrieving a photo for
comparison, she exclaimed, âMr. Wolf! Itâs you! You boarded the plane!â
Only then did Emmanuel gently release Chester, a sense of relief washing
over him as the tension in the air began to ease.

Ethan, filled with heartfelt gratitude, exclaimed, âMr. Wolf, thank goodness you
came! I could have lost my life!â
These words pierced Chesterâs heart, overwhelming him with bitterness. He
had risked everything to save Ethan, yet it seemed Emmanuel was reaping
all the glory.
âIndeed, I didnât expect you to be even more formidable than Chester, Mr. Wolf. Itâs no wonder Commander Adkins sent you to protect Mr. Hale.â The

female assistant looked at Emmanuel, her eyes filled with admiration for his
strength.
Chester clenched his fists tightly, struggling with the unsettling realization.
Despite having always looked down on Emmanuel, he had to concede that
Emmanuelâs abilities far surpassed his own. This revelation churned within
him, creating an uncomfortable sensation, like a thorn lodged in his throat
that he could not dislodge.
âThe situation is not stable yet; this is not the time for idle chatter,â Emmanuel
said, waving his hand dismissively. His focus shifted back to Lady Rosa. âHave
you taken over the cockpit? I advise you not to act recklessly. If Mr. Hale
doesnât make it out, you all will meet a gruesome end.â
âHmph!â Lady Rosa scoffed defiantly. âI never intended to die. When I return, I
plan to ask your wife if I can become your concubine.â
As her words hung in the air, a peculiar tension filled the space. The gazes
around her shifted, and everyone regarded Emmanuel with renewed
wariness.

Only Ethan chuckled heartily, breaking the tension. âHa! Mr. Wolf, it seems you
have a past with this assassin. I can see she cares for you. If it werenât for
that, we all might have met our doom in the skies.â
Ethanâs insight was sharper than the othersâ. While everyone else worried that
Emmanuelâs connection to the female assassin could jeopardize their safety,
he recognized that since she had taken over the cockpit, she must have
prepared for failure. The entire plane might plunge, and they could all perish
together.
Emmanuel nodded at Ethan, his expression resolute, and seized Lady Rosa by
the arm, guiding her firmly toward the cockpit.
Bang!
Emmanuel pushed open the cockpit door, instantly spotting two assassins
who resembled flight attendants. They held the captain and coâpilot
hostage, creating a tense atmosphere within the aircraft.
As the assassins locked eyes with Emmanuel and his companion, their
16:34 Wed, Nov 27
Chapter 2006 The Assassination Arranged by Levi
expressions shifted. They recognized that their assassination attempt had
failed and began to prepare for an attack.
But Emmanuel acted swiftly. He drew his weapon with practiced precision
and eliminated both assassins before they could make a move.
Blood poured into the cockpit, staining the once pristine space. The captain
and coâpilot stared in shock, their hearts racing as the plane trembled
precariously under the weight of the situation.
âDonât be afraid! The assassins have been dealt with. Just focus on landing
safely in Riverhaven!â
Emmanuel reassured the shaken crew, his voice steady amidst the chaos.
Once their nerves settled, he took Lady Rosa by the hand and led her to an
unoccupied section of the aircraft.
As soon as he released her hand, she tightened her grip on him, her defiance
evident. Before Emmanuel could shoot her a warning glare, she brazenly
quipped, âWhatâs this? You can hold my hand, but I canât hold yours? Whereâs
wed,
Chapter 2006 The Assassination Arranged by Levi
the logic in that?â
With an icy resolve, Emmanuel shook off her grip and fixed her with an
intense stare. âYou better explain whatâs going on. Who sent you to kill Ethan?â
âWho else could it be?â
Lady Rosa shrugged nonchalantly. However, when she sensed the
murderous glint in Emmanuelâs eyes, her demeanor shifted to one of
reluctant submission. âIt was Levi, the assistant by Teddyâs side.â
Emmanuel pressed further, determined to get to the bottom of this. âSo, the
same person who hired you to kill President Silverbane last time in Nuthana
was also Levi?â
âYes,â she admitted, a hint of vulnerability in her voice.
She wore a pitiful expression as she continued, âI didnât betray the organization last time, but now that Iâve spilled the beans, Iâm done for.
Considering I betrayed the organization for you, will you think about taking

me as your concubine?â
Emmanuel shot her a cold glare, a clear signal of his disdain.

This woman had not changed; she remained as shameless as ever.

He recalled their last encounter in Yeringham, where she had boldly lifted her
skirt to show him the mark on her inner thigh. Her audacity knew no bounds,
revealing her unreserved nature both in body and spirit, devoid of any sense
of modesty.
âSo, youâre still a member of the Redback Assassins? What exactly is your
position within that group?â
Emmanuel sensed something was amiss.
Lady Rosa ranked third among the assassins, yet after a failed mission, she
should have been hunted down. Instead, the Redback Assassins had shown
her an unusual degree of leniency. Each time they crossed paths, she had
failed her missions. How could someone with such a dismal record still thrive

within the organization?
âGuess.â
âI refuse to play guessing games.â

Emmanuelâs eyes darkened, exuding an air of menace. He grasped her throat
firmly, his voice chillingly resolute as he threatened, âIf you donât tell me the
truth today, donât blame me for ending your life!â
Although Lady Rosa served him, Emmanuel felt no obligation to show her
mercy.
âHumph, you donât know how to be gentle. I never said I wouldnât tell you,â she
retorted, struggling to breathe as her voice came out strained.
Emmanuel hesitated, preparing to loosen his grip, but the woman clung to
his hand, her giggle ringing in the tense air. âJust keep squeezing me like that. At least weâre making skin contact. I like that. Plus, it feels exhilarating.â
Frustration washed over Emmanuel. He found himself at a loss when faced

Reluctantly, he tightened his grip once more, fully aware that with a bit more
force, he could send her to her grave.
âL. Iâm an inner disciple of the Redback Assassinsâ matriarchâKiller Queen.
How could my status not be high?â Lady Rosa confessed, her voice tinged
with both annoyance and regret.
âNow it makes sense.â
Emmanuel finally connected the dots.
Emmanuel finally connected the dots. This woman was a master
manipulator, seemingly willing to sacrifice her own life to save her skin. He
wondered if the carefully crafted persona and background stories she
presented were merely part of a grand deception aimed at him.
âWhat about your relationship with Maestro Moretti? Is she also a member of
the Redback Assassins? Is she part of Teddyâs faction?â Emmanuel
