Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 2212 Fierce Battle!
A grand outdoor banquet was being held in the courtyard of Kenâs mansion. Acting as the host on his behalf, Quintus loudly announced, âAlright, weâll feast tonight, then board the plane and get some sleep! By the time we wake up, weâll be in Zovince!â
Despite Kenâs immense wealth, many representatives from the West End Chamber of Commerce were dirt poor. Take Jidrus Abovos, for exampleâa prime example of an official who had always put the people of West End first, living a simple life with barely any luxuries.
For people like him, extravagant feasts like this were rare, and that night, they indulged wholeheartedly.
As for why they supported Mackenzie? That was obviousâshe had eradicated the Five Poison Sect, removing a massive tumor from the region. The mountain roads in West End were now safe again.
As the saying goes, roads are the arteries of a nation. With their trade routes secure, the future of West Endâs economy looked promising. Supporting Mackenzie was a noâbrainer. What was the alternative? Supporting Teddy Tanner and his cronies, who did nothing but make empty promises while lining their own pockets? No way.
âCome on, everyone, letâs raise a glass! From now on, letâs work together to strengthen our homelandâs
commerce!â
After Quintus gave his toast, Ken stood up as well.
He knew many representatives in West Endâs Chamber of Commerce had been dissatisfied with him for a long time. Now that he had defected from Teddyâs camp to Mackenzieâs side, he needed to mend those relationships. Otherwise, his position as chairman of the West End Chamber of Commerce might not be secure for long.
Boom!
Just then, a sudden explosion rocked the estate from outside. One explosion followed another, then another -until the ground trembled beneath them.
âWhatâs happening?â
âWhatâs going on?â
The representatives, still in the middle of their meal, instantly descended into panic.
Kenâs face went paleâhis worst fears had just come true.
Sure enough, a Wolf Warrior rushed in to report. âGeneral Quintus! Weâre under attack! Multiple explosives have been set around the perimeter of the mansion. Fires are breaking out, and we have wounded!â
âReport!â
Before the first soldier could even finish, another hurried in. âGeneral Quintus! Unidentified vehicles are approaching from all directions at high speed! It looks like theyâre preparing for a fullâscale assault!â
Panic spread among the representatives.
They had assumed the attack on the mountain pass was the end of it. Who wouldâve thought Teddyâs forces had another trap waiting for them?

âI told you we shouldâve left West End earlier, General Quintus! The longer we stayed, the greater the risk- but you wouldnât listen!â Ken complained, his voice shrill with fear.
Alas, before he could say another word, Quintus grabbed a roasted chickenâs bum from the table and shoved it straight into Kenâs mouth.
âShut up, for once! Now, get lost and stay out of the way!â
If Ken werenât still needed for the vote in Zovince, Quintus wouldâve smacked him across the face by now. The guy did nothing but whine, spreading panic instead of solutions.
Ignoring Ken, Quintus grinned, eyes flashing with excitement. âTheyâve come just in time! I was afraid no one would show up!â
Then, he barked out orders, âWolf Warriors, listen up! Defend the mansion! Not a single enemy gets inânot even a d*mn mosquito!
âLogistics team, evacuate the representatives to a safe area inside the main building. Prioritize the wounded -get them treated immediately! Medical team, be on standby. Itâs time to fight!â
With that, Quintus and Solana took the lead, charging out to meet the attackers headâon.
Libby hesitated, taking a few steps toward the direction where Quintus had gone. But before she could go any further, one of her companions grabbed her arm. âLibby, where are you going? Didnât you hear General Quintusâ orders?â
âBut-â
She was still worried about Quintus, but her companion forcibly pulled her back. Even as she was dragged away, she kept glancing over her shoulder, unable to take her eyes off his retreating figure.
Outside the mansion, heavily armed men swarmed out of vehicles, immediately opening fire with machine
guns.
Their intent was crystal clearâkill everyone in sight. No mercy. No exceptions. Even if they took down just one representative, it was still a victory. If they managed to kill three or more, it was an absolute win.
Quintus, raised in the military growing up, immediately recognized their shooting techniques. These .werenât just ordinary bandits from West End.
They were trained professionalsâmercenaries.
This wasnât a local gang attack. Teddy had deployed his personal soldiers, disguising them as West End bandits so he could wash his hands clean of the massacre afterward.
âStay sharp! These arenât regular outlawsâtheyâre trained combat soldiers! Keep your guard up and take them down!â Quintus shouted.
Grabbing a machine gun, he led the charge himself.
Unlike many skilled martial artists who relied too much on handâtoâhand combat, Quintus never underestimated the power of modern firearms. He was a soldier first. And when it came to battlefield combat, he was just as deadly with a gun as he was with his fists.
With his expert marksmanship and fearless advance, he took down seven or eight enemies in an instant, But the battle was far from easy. More enemy vehicles arrived by the second.

Then, modified armored assault vehicles appeared.

Regular bullets couldnât penetrate their reinforced plating. The enemy forces plowed through the defensive perimeter, opening fire as they stormed the mansion grounds.
This wasnât just an attack. This was a fullâscale, premeditated military operation.
âSon of a-â Quintus cursed as he watched the armored vehicles push forward.
The Wolf Warrior defensive line had been breached.
Throwing his gun aside, he roared, âSomebody toss me an explosive pack! Give me some cover fireâIâm blowing that thing to hell!â
His voice was so loud that Libby, still inside the mansion, heard him.
âMr. Quintus!â
She was terrified. She had seen him pull off miracles before, but this⦠this was war. And as the battle raged outside, more and more wounded were carried inside.
The representatives, safely relocated to a secure area, were in shock.
Even experiencing it firsthand, they could hardly believe someone would send a militaryâgrade strike force
to exterminate them.
This wasnât just an ambushâit was a battlefield.
The level of combat exceeded the intensity of warfare in some of the worldâs most unstable nations.
Boom!
A deafening explosion thundered through the estate, which trembled violently from the blast.
âHeh! Now you know not to mess with a real general!â Quintus grinned triumphantly, having just taken down one of the armored assault vehicles. Dusting off his hands, he stood proudly over the smoldering wreckage.
But the battle at the rear of the mansion wasnât going as smoothly.
Solana and the Wolf Warrior Unit had held the line at first, using her flames in conjunction with suppressive fire. But when the enemy brought in armored vehicles, her fire alone wasnât enough.
âCaptain Solana! Enemy forces have breached our defenses! Theyâve entered the mansion!â
âWhat?!â Solanaâs face darkened in shock.
She might not have been able to take down the armored vehicles, but at the very least, she had been keeping the enemy foot soldiers at bay. For them to have slipped past her meant only one thingâmartial
artists.
Even the most elite special forces wouldnât have been able to bypass the Wolf Warriorsâ firepower.
Grinding her teeth, Solanaâs voice turned cold. âAora. The last remnants of the Great Four Envoys⦠Hmph. About time you showed up. I was worried you wouldnât dare.â

She no longer paid any attention to the
the ongoing battle outside. Instead, she leaped onto the high walls and
vanished into the mansion.
This time, she would avenge Rhett and her fallen brothers.
