Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 362
Meanwhile, a group of people stood outside the private room, quietly
watching the scene unfold.
Then, Magnus turned around and looked at an old man behind the crowd,
and he asked politely, âMr. Quinn, what do you think of this young manâs skill?â
Quinn sneered and replied, âHeâs strong but lacks sophistication. He canât be
considered topânotch.â
Magnus nodded and said, âThen, go and give him some guidance.â
âAll right!â After Quinn finished speaking, the people around quickly cleared a
path. The man walked speedily and suddenly appeared in front of
Emmanuel, staring at him indifferently.
On the other hand, Emmanuel also sensed that the old man was not an
ordinary opponent, and his expression became serious. âAre you with those
two just now?â
âHmph, what are they? Are they worthy of being on the same level as me?â
Quinn shook his head coldly.
âSince youâre not with them, why did you come to find me? We have no
grudges against each other!â Emmanuel did not want to fight these masters,
nor did he want to be driven away by them. He had his own pride and dignity
since nobody wanted to be bullied for no reason!
âNo grudges?â Quinn was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter.
âSince weâre competing in martial arts, why would we need grudges to do
So?â
âMartial arts?â Emmanuel was stunned and explained, âIâm sorry, but I donât
want to compete with you! As you can see, Iâm here celebrating a friendâs
birthday. This is not the right place for a martial arts match!â
However, Quinn replied confidently, âIt wonât take much effort, and it wonât
damage anything here.â He implied that he was confident in quickly
defeating Emmanuel, and he wouldnât make a mess like Emmanuel did with
those two soâcalled Yeringham masters earlier, which had ended up
damaging the restaurantâs property.
After hearing this, Emmanuel looked at the old man, furrowing his brows, then
asked, âMust we fight?â
âWe must!â Quinn nodded affirmatively.
Nonetheless, Emmanuel asked again, âWhy must we? Give me a reason!â
âBecause you are someone worth defeating by me!â Quinn replied proudly,
and his every expression and gesture was filled with arrogance and
selfâimportance.
âHowever, youâre not worth the effort for me to defeat.â Emmanuel chuckled. I
have no idea who this person is and have no grudges or enmity against him.
Why should we fight?
âThatâs not up to you!â After saying this, Quinn directly swung his palm toward
his head. His force wasnât particularly powerful, but it was flashy and was
aimed at a vital point!
It was the Palm Drop technique! The moves were intricate and fantastical, with palm shadows appearing in all directions when his arms swung, and
whether it was the artful dance of five shadows followed by a single true
strike or the intricate display of eight shadows leading to one decisive blow, it
was reminiscent of a whirlwind sweeping through a peaceful orchard,
causing petals to rain down in unison. The virtual moves appeared feeble
and ineffective, but they aimed to lure and distract the opponent. During the
decisive moment, the virtual and real movements could transform into real
strikes, which would be fatal to the opponent. Similarly, to the adage âa single
leaf foretells the changing of the seasonsâ, those with keen vision could
discern great significance from the subtlest cues.
When the old man made his move, Emmanuel realized he was up against a
formidable opponent, far more challenging than the two soâcalled
Yeringham masters he had defeated earlier. Quinnâs palm techniques had
reached a level of mastery where he could control them effortlessly, and for
a moment, Emmanuel couldnât see any flaws within them that he could
expose.
On the other hand, Emmanuel was a hothead, and considering he was only
there for a meal, these people insisted on forcing him to fight. If he didnât
show his strength, they wouldnât leave. Whoosh! Suddenly, he threw a
powerful punch, intending to break through Quinnâs defenses. He firmly
believed that the Palm Drop technique would, at most, severely injure him,
but his powerful punch would definitely take Quinnâs life with a single blow.
Unexpectedly, Emmanuelâs counterattack was successful, and Quinn did not
expect him to use such a reckless attack. This was exactly the kind of thing
that arrogant people like Quinn feared. He had always believed that his life
was more valuable than his opponentâs, so he did not confront Emmanuel
headâon, and Quinn retreated swiftly. Then, without pausing for thought, he
took off in whatever direction he pleased, circling behind Emmanuel as his
hands transformed into countless layers of illusions.
He had assumed that Emmanuel would be unable to see through his
techniques, let alone respond in time, but Emmanuelâs adaptability and
responsiveness far exceeded his expectations. It was just that those two
useless guys from earlier didnât require Emmanuel to demonstrate any
adaptability!
Boom! Emmanuel accurately identified the reality and illusion of Quinnâs palm
techniques and directly collided his fist with Quinnâs real palm. A burst of
explosive sound followed, and a powerful whirlwind shattered the chair
between them.
6/8
Since Emmanuel was younger and stronger, Quinn was sent flying backward.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Quinn took three steps back, each like a boulder falling
from a mountain, and when he finally stood firm, the sturdy stone floor bore
clear shoe prints.
Silence!
There was a deathly silence!
A fist that could shatter stones and feet that could split the ground.
Many people thought that fighters at this level only existed in novels, but they
never expected that there would be someone in real life who could reach
such a realm. This was far from the brute strength of an ordinary person!
On the other hand, the chair Emmanuel had sat in earlier had broken apart,
so it was obvious that he couldnât sit down for any more meals. He stood
there, his gaze coldly fixed on Quinn. No one could have imagined that
Emmanuel was actually a gynecologist! âYour Palm Drop technique is too
crude. Each move is too treacherous and vicious, which is not the essence of
martial arts!â he commented coldly.
The Palm Drop technique was originally about change and artistry, and it was
not a lethal technique that caused disability or even death with every move.
On the other hand, Quinn unleashed his internal power with each strike,
aiming to cripple or kill with every move!
If it werenât for Emmanuelâs timely response that forcibly repelled him, he
would be crippled or dead if he had been hit by one of Quinnâs strikes.
âAll martial arts techniques are meant to kill. Itâs just that you lack knowledge!â
Quinn retorted coldly, though secretly shocked in his heart.
His Palm Drop technique had countless variations, and his continuous
attacks were nearly invincible. In the past, many masters had fallen under his
hands, and no one had seen through the secrets of his techniques after just
one move, let alone a kid in his 20s. However, Emmanuel had seen through
his flaws with Quinnâs second move, even countering and forcing him back. It
was evident that this young man, who didnât see through his palm
techniques at the beginning, had astonishing talent and comprehension in
martial arts. Quinn had never met a martial arts prodigy like him before.
âA killing technique? So, you want to kill me?â Emmanuel questioned coldly. He
knew these people were not good, but he didnât expect them to dare to
fatally attack him in a restaurant!
âIf it is not used for killing, do you think it is used for performing?â Quinn asked
mockingly. He always looked down on those flashy and showy moves, like the
ones displayed by the two Yeringham masters earlier.
Emmanuelâs face immediately darkened in response. Anyone who wanted to
kill me would be considered an enemy on the battlefield! At this moment, the
Northern Region Wolfâs bloodthirsty side had awakened. The Northern
Regionâs veteran commander had taught him that he must never let his
guard down on the battlefield, let alone show mercy, since kindness couldnât
command an army! Without the determination to kill the enemy, one would
inevitably die on the battlefield!
