Levi was seething! Emmanuelâwhat nerve! This guy was obviously aiming to
embarrass me in front of everyone. Only moments ago, Levi had been
standing in front of hundreds, passionately singing Teddyâs praises and
about his accomplishments. Now, with Emmanuelâs statement, wasnât he
effectively tearing down that entire speech, suggesting it was all just empty
words?
If it had been anyone else, Levi wouldnât have hesitated to brand them a
troublemaker and order them out without delay. But Emmanuel wasnât just
anyoneâhis strength alone made him nearly impossible to remove by force!
Yet, Teddy remained remarkably unfazed, his cheerful smile unshaken. âAh, a
representative from Nuthana! If Iâm not mistaken, this must be your debut at
one of our chamber meetings, correct? Perhaps youâre not entirely versed in

our established protocols?â

Emmanuel rebutted, âProtocols are, after all, manâmade. If past practices
onât hold up, they deserve to be updated!â
He saw right through Teddyâs intentions. This meeting was designed as a stiff
procession of reportsâno space for questions or engagement at all. If he
didnât stand his ground, heâd simply be steamrolled by the formalities, with no
room for his perspective!
âHaha, spot on!â Teddy immediately echoed, shifting to match Emmanuelâs
momentum. âYouâre absolutely rightâwhen a protocol doesnât work, it needs
adjustment! With that in mind, weâll initiate the debate sessionâand who
better to lead it than my third assistant?â

Hearing that, a slight shudder ran through Emmanuel. Around him, the crowd
broke into murmurs, surprised at the newsâMr. Tanner had added yet
another aide to his ranks?
âLadies and gentlemen, allow me the pleasure of introducing you to my third
assistantâMr. Gautier Verkade!â Teddy proclaimed, sweeping his arm toward
the backstage entrance.
All eyes shifted to the doorway, where a strikingly handsome man appeared,
smiling as he strolled confidently into view! Emmanuel fixed his gaze on him,
heart pounding. So, heâs still alive, after all! Back then, Sage had fallen for
Gautierâs elaborate deception. Using Magnusâ faceâswapping technique,
Gautier had clearly slipped away unnoticed while they were busy handling
matters at the Terence Groupâs subsidiary, leaving behind a decoy to throw them off the trail. Then, once theyâd relaxed their vigilance, he sprang into

actionâdeceiving Roselynn, seizing the Dragon Tome, and even pinning the
blame on the Lannister family. While Emmanuel and the Lannisters clashed
headâtoâhead, he lurked in the shadows, relishing the chaos as both sides
ore each other down. Three birds with one stoneâthis man is truly ruthless!
Gautier, too, set his eyes on Emmanuel, flashing a knowing smile. Stepping
into the spotlight, he greeted the room, âGreetings, everyone. I am Gautier
Verkade, formerly an assistant to Mr. Lowe, the Nuthana representative, and I
nearly lost my life in our past dealings. I owe my current position to Mr.
Tannerâs generosity, and I am honored to serve now as his third assistant!â
Incredible! The atmosphere was buzzing now! Many representatives, whoâd
originally shown up with plans to sneak in a nap, now found themselves wide
awake, captivated by the unfolding drama.
Emmanuelâs gaze landed on him, and a sly smirk crossed his face as if to say,

Gautier met his stare with steady composure, fully aware of the animosity
immering beneath, but completely unruffled. In a formal setting like this, he
knew Emmanuel wouldnât dare make a move.
âAh, Mr. Verkade, perfect timing!â Teddy chuckled, his expression gleaming
with satisfaction. âOur guest, Mr. Lowe, has raised some doubts regarding our
procedures and reporting. Why donât you remain here and clarify things for
him?â Yet another deft maneuver. With the Chamber of Commerceâs
narrative fully in his grasp, Teddy could shape the story however he pleased.
No matter how long Emmanuel debated with them, it would all come to
nothing; with a simple call for âfurther investigation,â his entire dayâs work
could be dismissed as wasted effort. â

Emmanuel was well aware of the scheming ways of these people. Going up
against the seasoned political players at the top was never just about
exposing the truthâit was about navigating the games they played! They
ould twist facts, muddy clear waters, and leave the public in the dark.
Ultimately, it was about who held the most power and wielded the stronger
hand!
Just as Teddy and Levi were preparing to exit, a figure suddenly barged into
the room, his voice ringing out in fury. âTeddy! You ordered my parentsâ
murder! Blood for blood!â

Teddy merely smirked. A spectacle like this might have rattled others, but he
was unfazed; this was routine for him. The only twist was that Julian now had
backup from Emmanuelâs people, which would make any attempt to

Before Teddy could even respond, Julian took the lead by thrusting forward
the evidence he brought, aiming to intensify the uproar and trap him and his
allies in the spotlight. Gautier hadnât anticipated Emmanuel would play such
card. Clearly, Emmanuel hadnât just recently discovered my survival. Looks
like the Northern Region War God had far more than brute strength up his
sleeve.
âEmmanuel, the subject is found!â Amid the clamor, Sage slipped in close
behind Emmanuel, relaying his findings in a low tone. With just a hint from
Julian earlier that morning, Emmanuel had deduced not only that Gautier
was alive, but that man was the one responsible for Roselynnâs abduction.
Foreseeing this, he started setting the wheels in motion that very morning,
aiming to trace Gautierâs actions back to him. Sage had discreetly set u
up
surveillance at the venue in advance, planning to track Gautier the moment
he stepped out of the car.

With the backing of the Chapmansâ extensive network, they accessed
Zovinceâs traffic footage to pinpoint exactly where his car had started its
journey. By the time the meeting was underway, the Wolf Warrior Elite Unit
ad already traced and pinpointed his starting location: a residential
neighborhood in Zone 3!
âSecure the area immediately. Ensure no one gets the chance to take
Roselynn out!â Emmanuel ordered Sage before leaving a small team to
safeguard Julian, while he quickly exited the venue himself. Attending the
meeting had served its purpose. By casting doubt on Teddyâs
accomplishments and letting Julian stir up even more negative publicity, it
would chip away at Teddyâs bid for reelection.
However, Emmanuelâs primary mission remained: tracking down Gautier and
ensuring Roselynnâs safe return!

The instant he stepped out, Gautier sensed trouble brewing. He barely had
time to send a message to relocate Roselynn when the elite forces of the
Wolf Warrior Elite Unit arrived, disabling the car by blowing out the tires with
recision shots!
âAh!â Roselynn, seated in the car, felt a rush of fear as cold sweat beaded on
her forehead.
But relief came swiftlyâwithin seconds, the Wolf Warrior soldiers secured the
vehicle. âMiss Roselynn, thereâs no need to worry! Weâre soldiers from the Wolf
Warrior unit, and our commander is already on his way to assist!â
She exhaled, finally feeling the weight of her ordeal lifting. Once again, luck
had been on my side, sparing me from harm!
Moments after she stepped out of the car, Emmanuel arrived in a hurry.

âEmmanuel!â The two siblings rushed into each otherâs arms, their embrace
moment of relief and reunion.
Still visibly shaken, he looked at his sister, worry etched into his face. âAre you
okay?â he asked, his voice tense. âHow did you end up in a situation like this?
