Meanwhile, after leaving the Silverbane Residence, Emmanuel headed straight to the
boxing arena for tonight’s match, where he met up with Mackenzie.
Upon seeing him, Logan immediately asked, “Emmanuel, what took you so long?
Something’s up?” He looked rather tense.
Seeing his expression, Emmanuel couldn’t help but feel tense, too. “What’s wrong?”
“They’re about to announce today’s qualifiers. Just a moment ago, two contestants
were found ineligible and were disqualified immediately! Remember four days ago
when you beat up that contestant, Everett Parrish, on stage? Your qualification is still
pending approval from the organizing committee’s president!” Logan explained
nervously.
If Emmanuel wasn’t qualified to compete, he felt that the Quillen family might as well
drop out altogether, sparing him from embarrassment and a beating! After all, he knew

where he stood; he was just there to make up the numbers.
Hearing Logan’s words, Emmanuel couldn’t help but feel rather nervous.
Mackenzie, however, remained silent as ever, her expression as cold as ice, revealing no
emotion. Finally, she said, exuding remarkable confidence, “Well, since we’re here, let’s
just relax and wait patiently,”
Taking comfort in her words, Emmanuel sat beside her. In fact, he had a gut feeling that
his qualification wouldn’t be revoked. As to why he felt this way, he couldn’t quite
explain. Simply put, he was entangled with many forces, and many of them wanted to
see him in action. As for what was happening behind the scenes, it was none of his
concern.
Just as he predicted, the list of contestants for tonight was finalized soon afterward,
and Emmanuel’s name stood out prominently under the Quillen family!
“Phew…”

Logan finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that the sigh of relief didn’t come
from him but from behind him.
Emmanuel turned around.
Only then did he notice that Shane and Frederick had come in with Beatrix. In contrast
to both men’s relaxed demeanor, Beatrix seemed troubled, lacking her usual fiery spirit.
“Emmanuel, it’s
up to you now!” Shane said suddenly, gritting his teeth. “You must make
it to the finals and teach Yosef a good lesson in the ring!”
Yosef ended Ryder’s life despite both of them being fellow villagers in Hero’s Village.
Word of this had circulated back to the village, leaving the elders and villagers in
disbelief. Had this happened in the village, Yosef would have undoubtedly faced the
village’s punishment, stripped of his cultivation, and removed from the village register
for unjustly killing a fellow villager. However, he had left the village.

Now, to bring him to justice, there needed to be evidence and legal procedures. With
78%
powerful forces like the Tanner family backing him, convicting him and sending him to
jail would be extremely difficult.
Shane and Frederick had also heard that, apart from Abellyn, all other eyewitnesses
had been bribed. Perhaps the only way to punish Yosef is in the ring!
Emmanuel nodded, his fists tightening.
The next moment, however, a scornful laughter sounded from behind. The laughter
grated on their ears, prompting Emmanuel and the others to turn around and look right
away.
Behind them stood a group of people. Emmanuel and his companions recognized
them; having clashed with the Tanner family before, they had come across the family’s
thugs and bodyguards.

Unfortunately, Yosef was not among them.
The man leading them bore a passing resemblance to Aidan, but truth be told, his
wasn’t as striking, lacking some of Aidan’s devilish charm while exuding more
arrogance. He taunted with a disdainful smirk, “What’s the Quillen family thinking?
