You’ve got to be kidding me. Teddy knew Santiago’s ultimate technique?! This is the same move Santiago never even taught me!

Emmanuel’s stomach dropped. His scalp tingled.

“Commander Lowe, watch out!” Aurora’s voice trembled, her face pale as a sheet.

She had witnessed Santiago unleash this attack before–it had effortlessly crushed Aora.

Teddy’s execution wasn’t as refined, but the dark, menacing energy surging from the broken tree branch was enough to make anyone’s blood run cold.

Emmanuel reacted instantly. He sprang into the air, twisting mid–flight to dodge the suffocating waves of black energy rushing toward him.

Teddy narrowed his eyes, shocked. “The Wolf Warrior King, huh? You really live up to the name.”

The Dance of Six Spears wasn’t something anyone could dodge so easily.

Most fighters would be trapped instantly.

Yet Emmanuel had slipped past it, throwing Teddy’s momentum off.

The battle had shifted. One side was gaining strength; the other was starting to fade.

“My turn!” Emmanuel exclaimed and lunged.

His plan was simple–take Teddy down, drag out every secret, then finish him for good.

Teddy had never underestimated Emmanuel, but he still wasn’t ready for the sheer force coming at him.

Before he could react, Emmanuel’s grip locked onto him.

A sharp pain shot through Teddy’s arm.

Instinct kicked in; he twisted, countering with his own move.

Most fighters would need equal strength to break free.

Teddy didn’t just escape; he flipped the entire situation.

Aurora gasped. Her stomach twisted. Commander Lowe… is losing? That doesn’t seem possible.

To her, Emmanuel was untouchable–a force beyond even Rhett.

They had expected an easy capture.

Yet, here he was–holding his ground, pushing Emmanuel into a deadlock.

“What kind of technique is this?” Emmanuel gritted his teeth.

His mind raced. The Great Capture Hand has taken down countless opponents–yet this corrupt businessman just flipped it like it was nothing. This isn’t just raw talent or brute strength. This is something entirely different.

Teddy’s grin stretched wider, his eyes flashing with smug delight, and his tone oozed arrogance. “My masterpiece–Dragon’s Reversal Mastery. I perfected what Aora started. He was just a test run, a stepping

stone.”

A dry chuckle left his lips as his words echoed through the mountains.

Nearby, Gautier crouched low, hidden among the trees.

A slow grin tugged at his lips as he thought, D*mn… I shouldn’t have pushed Aora to take those painkillers and pass out by the roadside. If he could hear this right now, that would be something.

Gautier had long known Teddy was a snake.

That’s why he never fully trusted him, even when gifted the martial arts text. It wasn’t a gift–it was an experiment.

Fortunately, he was smart enough to see through it.

He never pushed himself too far, always stopping when something fell off.

That caution saved him from any side effects.

Aora? He had been blind.

His sudden boost in power? A side effect of Teddy’s experiments.

His days were numbered.

Meanwhile, Teddy’s confidence surged. A mocking laugh escaped as he sneered, “So this is the great Wolf Warrior King? I was worried for nothing! Strength alone doesn’t win a fight, Emmanuel. It’s about having the right tricks up your sleeve!”

Emmanuel’s smirk was sharp. “Funny. I was thinking the same thing.”

Teddy’s grin faltered.

Just then, a sudden shift–a burst of heatwave pulsed outward.

A fiery force crackled through the air.

Emmanuel unleashed his full strength.

Teddy’s fingers went numb. His grip failed.

Before he could react, Emmanuel caught his right arm and clamped a hand around his throat.

Pain flared through Teddy’s body. His breath hitched.

Emmanuel’s voice was calm and unshaken. “You think you’re the only one who can create techniques? I have something better–The Heart of the Sun.”

Still crouched in hiding, Gautier tensed. He held his breath, careful not to make a sound.

Even from hundreds of meters away, the sheer force of Emmanuel’s power burned through the a like standing under a scorching sun.

Teddy clenched his teeth, cold sweat heading on his forehead. “You you’ve rear her age beset

Then his voice wavered. He thought. Something feels off. No this isnt jact Sage–level. This is beyond that, far beyond what I ever imagined.

Just then, Aurora’s voice rang out. “Commander Lowe, you’re incredible

Her heart soared with joy. She bounced and clapped, radiating charisma. Reflecting, she thought. I know it! I always knew he was untouchable!

Emmanuel’s gaze never wavered. “Did you really think I’d chase you outside the city without being sure I could end this? Teddy, it’s over. Accept your fate!”

His grip tightened. With a sharp twist, he wrenched Teddy’s collarbone.

A choked cry escaped Teddy’s lips.

The bone was moments from snapping.

Then–with a last–ditch effort, Teddy’s body suddenly went limp.

Using the momentum, he drove a sharp strike to Emmanuel’s chest.

“Pathetic!” Emmanuel didn’t flinch. In a split second, he countered, slamming a devastating palm strike into Teddy’s torso.

Unexpectedly, Teddy took the hit on purpose. Using the impact to his advantage, he twisted free from Emmanuel’s grip.

Pfft! Blood sprayed from his mouth.

Emmanuel narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was planning.

Then, Teddy hurled a cloud of white powder toward Emmanuel.

Without hesitation, Emmanuel dodged and swept his hand to scatter it. His lips curled in disgust. “Is that the best you’ve got?”

Then, a scream echoed.

Emmanuel’s stomach dropped. His gaze snapped to the side.

Teddy had Aurora–his arm locked tightly around her throat.

“Aurora!” Emmanuel exclaimed, taking a step forward.

Teddy’s grip tightened, his breath ragged, eyes burning red with fury. “Take one more step, and I’ll break her neck.”

Even with the power of a Sage level fighter, Teddy felt the weight of Emmanuel’s presence crushing down on him.

Deep inside, he knew the truth.

Even if Aora were here, they still wouldn’t stand a chance.

Emmanuel wasn’t just strong–he was on a whole different level.

The worst part?

He hadn’t even used Reverse Dragon Palm.

That meant Emmanuel was still holding back.

Emmanuel’s knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists, anger simmering beneath his calm exterior. “Teddy Tanner–the mighty former chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. A man who built an empire, controlled industries, even had his own private military overseas–reduced to using a woman as a shield?”

He scoffed. “What a d*mn disgrace.”

Teddy laughed hoarsely. “Spare me the moral nonsense. In war, there are no rules. Only survival.”

Emmanuel’s rage burned.

“Commander Lowe, don’t let him get away! Forget about me–kill him! For your fallen soldiers! For Chanaea!” Aurora’s voice rang out, raw and desperate.

Teddy’s grip tightened like a vice.

“Shut up!” he snarled.

Aurora’s voice cut off instantly, though her lips still moved.

Her face drained of color, and her once–vibrant lips faded to a lifeless pale.

She was seconds away from death.
