Emmanuel had only needed ten moves to defect one of the Eight Supreme

Grandmasters of Zovince. His strength was terrifying Everyone knew that a

supreme grandmaster represented the pinnacle of martial arts in Charicea,

so what kind of person could defect one in just ten moves? It was beyond

imagination,

Nathan is not for us to decide,” Audrey finally said, breaking the silence.

mmanuel frowned, clearly displeased. “Ms. Chapman, isn’t this going

against your word?”

Ashton was even more agitated. “Emmanuel, forget about them! Let’s just

force our way in!”

Her straightforward nature made it clear–she wouldn’t leave until she saw

Nathan.

Audrey chuckled softly. “I wouldn’t recommend that. No matter how skilled

you are, barging into Chapman family property has serious consequences.

with Emmanuel unwilling to force his way through, Ashton had no choice but

to wait alongside him. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before a servant of the

Chapman family returned with a message. “Mr. Lowe, Ms. Veronica would like

to see you. Please come with me.”

Emmanuel nodded. Ashton, however, tried to follow, only to be stopped.

“Apologies, Ms. Veronica only requested to see Mr. Lowe. No one else is

permitted inside.”

No one else?!” Ashton flushed with anger. To be dismissed as merely a

“nobody” was an insult to her standing as a daughter of the Summerton

family.

Emmanuel turned back to her. “Ashton, just be patient. Nathan’s condition is

probably serious, but there’s no need to rush.”

With a huff, Ashton relented. Though she couldn’t understand why she was so

desperate to see Nathan, she didn’t push further

Emmanuel followed the Chapman servant into a room where six of Nathan’s

eautiful sisters and Gale were waiting,

For the first time, Emmanuel laid eyes on Veronica, one of the Four Beauties

of Zovince. Her beauty was striking, different from the grace of Hattie or Yuna.

Veronica’s elegance was like that of a lotus on a still lake, with gentle,

dignified features. Her bright eyes held a refined wisdom, reminiscent of

clear, sparkling waters. Even surrounded by Nathan’s other stunning sisters,

her presence and beauty were unmistakable, captivating anyone who saw

her.

“You must be the Northern Wolf Warrior, Emmanuel Lowe,” Veronica said as

she rose to greet him, her tone neither haughty nor cold.

“That’s right. And you must be Nathan’s second sister, Veronica Chapman.

That kid talks about you all the time,” Emmanuel replied with a smile.

es, that’s me,” Veronica confirmed with a small, polite smile. Though her

beauty was undeniable, there was a certain aloofness to her, a grace that

seemed to keep others at arm’s length. She was the kind of woman who

could be admired but never approached too closely–a lotus to be revered

from a distance, not touched.

“Ms. Veronica, I’m not sure how Nathan is doing right now, but I would like to

see him. If necessary, I can step in and help treat him!” Emmanuel repeated

the purpose of his visit.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lowe, but that won’t be necessary,” Veronica

replied politely, though her tone remained distant. “The Chapman family has

no shortage of skilled doctors. Although Nathan is still unconscious from his

injuries, his life is not in danger.”

mmanuel nodded, but the concern in his eyes lingered. Nathan’s coma

presented a serious problem–without him, Emmanuel wasn’t sure how to

persuade the Chapman family to support Ethan in the upcoming election.

“So, Mr. Lowe, you haven’t come to save Nathan but for another purpose,

have you?” Veronica, sharp as ever, immediately saw through his intentions.

“Yes,” Emmanuel admitted without hesitation, ready to reveal his true

agenda. “I had already spoken with Nathan about seeking the Chapman

family’s support for Ethan, to help him win the presidency.”

“Oh, so it’s a matter of such importance,” Veronica responded, her tone

composed but still difficult to read. “You must really have your heart set on

the welfare of the nation, Mr. Lowe.”

You flatter me, Ms. Veronica,” Emmanuel said, shrugging modestly. “The rise

or fall of a country is everyone’s responsibility. I am no different from other

Chanaean citizens who hope to see a capable and virtuous leader in the

presidential office.”

Veronica smiled faintly, though her demeanor remained unchanged.

Emmanuel could sense that, despite her beauty and grace, she was not

someone easily persuaded.

鋡 “Tell me, Mr. Lowe,” she said, turning to face him. “Are you familiar with the

other candidates? Do you know whose interests Ethan represents?”

mmanuel hesitated briefly but answered honestly, “To be frank, I don’t know

Mason or Catherine well, but I’ve worked with Ethan, and I’ve seen firsthand

that he’s a man who cares deeply for the people. He’s a good official who

works for the betterment of the nation.”

“And how can you be sure that he isn’t simply putting on a performance to

win the presidency?” Veronica pressed further.

Emmanuel’s voice grew firmer. “Even if it were an act, he’s still doing good for

the people of Chanaea. As long as he keeps playing his role, I’ll continue to

support him. It’s as simple as that.”

Veronica turned slightly, her expression thoughtful, but there was a trace of

amusement in her eyes. “That’s a fair perspective, Mr. Lows From the

standpoint of the common people, supporting Ethan would seen the fight

hoice. However, I regret to inform you that the Chapman family is not made

up of ordinary citizens, and we have no reason to support himn

“Why not?” Emmanuel asked, curious.

Veronica remained poised as she explained, “As you can see, the Chapman

family is already as wealthy as an entire nation. We are a family of

merchants, and for us, the only standard for making decisions is profit

Emmanuel nodded, understanding the logic behind her words.

Veronica continued, “It doesn’t matter if Ethan is truly for the people or not.

The fact remains that his presidency offers no tangible benefit to the

Chapman family. On the other hand, both Catherine and Mason have made

offers. If they win, they will provide us with real, measurable benefits,”

Emmanuel frowned slightly. “So, who has the Chapman family chosen to

support?”

“Certainly not Ethan,” Veronica replied plainly. “Unless, of course, Mr. Lowe, you

can offer us a better deal on his behalf.”

Emmanuel’s brow furrowed further as he asked, “Do you speak for the entire

Chapman family, Ms. Veronica?”

This time, Veronica didn’t need to answer. Her sisters chimed in, giggling and

teasing.

“Of course, Veronica represents the Chapman family!”

“Even Nathan follows her every word without question!”

“Father hardly involves himself in the family’s affairs anymore. It’s been

Veronica running everything. Why do you think she’s one of the Four Beauties

of Zovince?”

Emmanuel now fully believed that Veronica held sway over the Chapman

family’s decisions. As he looked at her, it became clear that her stance was

far from aligned with his. He would need to think quickly and carefully if he
