Love at the 2031
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 2031
After the debate and speeches concluded, Ethan needed to return to the
Redstone Chamber, a highly secure government building to continue
handling national affairs.
The Redstone Chamber was the most secure place in Changea, and once
Emmanuel safely escorted Ethan back, he could enjoy a day or two of rest.
âMr. Wolf, would you mind sitting with me?â Ethan asked as they prepared to
leave.
Emmanuel was slightly surprised by the request but agreed nonetheless.
Chester, however, wasnât pleased. It was becoming increasingly clear that
Ethan valued Emmanuel more with each passing day while Chester himself

was being pushed to the sidelines. He could feel Ethanâs growing trust in
Emmanuel while his own presence was barely noticed anymore:
Mr. Wolf, my situation isnât looking good. I might not be able to take the
position of president,â said Ethan bluntly, as if he could already foresee his
own defeat.
âMr. Hale, the outcome is still undecided. Donât lose hope just yet,â Emmanuel
replied, offering words of encouragement. âThe game is still in play, and we
can still be the dark horses. Success is within reach if we act.â
âYouâre right,â Ethan agreed, his voice calm. He was a seasoned politician,
wellâversed in navigating political storms. âIâm not being pessimistic, just
making an early prediction so I can prepare the necessary plans.â
Emmanuel nodded, then asked, âSo, Mr. Hale, why did you ask me to join you

in the car? Is there something specific you need from me?â
âMr. Wolf, I need your help,â Ethan said directly, not one for unnecessary
pleasantries. âHistorically, presidential elections have always been influenced
by the Four Great Aristocratic Families of Zovince. They hold immense power
nationwide. Typically, if a candidate gains the support of two of these
families, victory is nearly guaranteed.â
Emmanuel nodded silently, already familiar with this aspect of the political
landscape.
âThe Chapman family is as wealthy as a nation, and public support often
follows financial interests. People want benefits, and money is the grease
that turns the wheels. The âwheelsâ are the people, and money is the oil.
How
much influence you can exert depends on how much oil you pour in,â Ethan

explained candidly. âAs for the Zelinsky family, they control about a third of
Chanaeaâs officials, giving them the ability to directly influence votes.
The Lannister family, with their prominent reputation, can sway public
opinion by simply endorsing a candidate. As for the Tanner family, they are
the rising stars among the Four Great Aristocratic Families. Teddy Tanner, the
chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, has nationwide influence, but that
family will never support me, so thereâs no point in discussing them further.
At that, Emmanuel asked, âSo, Mr. Hale, youâre hoping to secure the support of
the Chapman and Lannister families?â
Ethan nodded. âThe previous president had good relationships with both
families, but I was only his deputy, and my connections with them are limited.
However, Iâve heard that the young Mr. Chapman is your disciple, Mr. Wolf.

For someone like Ethan, getting straight to the point like this wasnât easy. It
was clear he truly desired the presidency, eager to guide the country himself.
While Emmanuel had never explicitly confirmed that he was the legendary
Wolf Warrior, Ethan had figured it out, and Emmanuel saw no need to deny it.
Meanwhile, Chester, who had been sitting silently in the car this whole time,
finally realized Emmanuelâs true identity. No wonder this man is so formidable
in martial artsâheâs the Northern Region War God, said to be the greatest
warrior in the world! But wasnât it rumored that the War God had been

ever?
can do that. Iâm willing to try for you, Mr. Hale,â Emmanuel agreed readily,
though he frowned and added, âBut I do have a question. Catherine Adams
should have the support of both the Zelinsky and Tanner families, so why is
she currently polling last?â
Ethan chuckled, his expression meaningful. âThat just means sheâs confident.
These official polls can be deceiving. This isnât the final vote, and Catherine
hasnât made her real move yet.â
â
Emmanuel nodded in agreement. That explanation made sense. Allowing
Mason to lead could actually work to their advantage. It might divert
Catherine and Teddyâs focus toward Mason, giving Ethan fewer obstacles to

After safely escorting Ethan back to the Redstone Chamber, Emmanuel
reached out to Nathan.

âHaha, Master! You finally remembered me! I bet itâs because Iâm useful to
you again. Am I right, or am I right?â Nathanâs voice was filled with laughter.
âYou saw right through me, didnât you? But saying it so bluntly puts me in an
awkward spot as your master,â Emmanuel responded, not bothering to deny
âIsnât it obvious? The only time you contact me is when you need me to run
around and do your bidding. When you donât need anything, I donât hear from
you!â Nathan complained.

âWhy do you sound like a bitter girlfriend? Didnât you once say, âA man without
problems is either with his woman or doing nothing; a man with problems
reaches out to his fellow menâ?â Emmanuel teased back.
âHaha, true, thatâs what I said. But Iâm busy today. Iâve got plans with a woman,
so I donât have time for you right now!â Nathan shot back, still laughing.
âWhat woman is more important than me?â Emmanuel asked, surprised.
Nathan had never put a woman before his training or plans before.
âHaha, itâs not that sheâs more important than you, Master, but Iâve already
made plans to meet her, and I canât cancel now. Besides, you know herâl
always thought youâd make her part of your âcollection!â
âI know her?â Emmanuel was even more puzzled. Who could this woman be?

Nathan couldnât quite remember Ashtonâs nameâhe had too many women
in his life and often couldnât even recall the names of those heâd been with.
âAshton?!â Emmanuel was stunned. He hadnât expected Nathan to include
Ashton in his romantic conquests.
âYeah, Ashton, thatâs her name! Haha, itâs got a nice ring to it,â Nathan said.
âAnyway, Master, you left me hanging for too long, so now Iâm doing the same

to you. Iâm taking her to the Hunterâs Den for some hunting. Weâll catch up
tomorrow, alright?â
With that, the call abruptly ended.
âHey, hey-â Emmanuel called out twice before putting down the phone,
shaking his head in disbelief. Nathan was truly something elseâalways
chasing women and having a new fling in the works.

With Nathan unavailable, Emmanuel changed his plans and decided to
reach out to Hattie. Since the Yang Heart of the Sun was recovered, he
needed to heal her illness soon. However, directly contacting her was
impossibleâshe wasnât picking up her phone. Emmanuel resorted to calling
Blake instead.

âEmmanuel! So, you remember we exist? I thought youâd forgotten about us
little people,â Blakeâs voice came through, clearly filled with annoyance.
Emmanuel let out a helpless laugh. âCome on, Blake. Calling yourself âlittle,â I
can accept, but Hattie? One of the Four Beauties of Zovince? Sheâs famous all
over the city. Donât tell me you think Iâd forget someone like her.â
âFamous? Sheâs dying, Emmanuel. Once sheâs gone, no one will care if she
was a beauty or not,â Blake snapped, frustration clear in his voice.
âSheâs dying?â Emmanuelâs heart sank. Had he really been too late?
