A chilling roar, reminiscent of a dragon’s mighty bellow, echoed through the
chaos, piercing the cacophony of their fierce combat. This formidable sound
had reached Emmanuel, who, with a swift and decisive movement,
employed his Dragon Hold Technique from a distance. The forceful
interruption caused Envoy Aora’s attack to veer off course, diverting its
deadly path.
“Impossible!” Envoy Aora’s voice cracked with disbelief. Despite their thorough
investigation into Emmanuel, the rapid and unexpected surge in his power
was beyond their wildest imaginations.
Unperturbed by Aora’s astonishment, Emmanuel pressed forward with
relentless determination. He unleashed a powerful Military Boxing technique,
his intent clear–to incapacitate Envoy Aora severely. The revelation of this top–tier master’s connection to the Quillen family massacre fueled

Emmanuel’s resolve. Capturing Aora would bring him closer to uncovering
the truth he so desperately sought.
Envoy Aora, still reeling from the shock, barely managed to evade
Emmanuel’s devastating punch, but could not avoid the lightning–fast palm
strike that struck the side of their face. Though the impact was not severe,
the sting of humiliation was profound.
As Envoy Aora struggled, three additional top–tier masters emerged from the
shadows, encircling Emmanuel. Each of these elite warriors could have easily
claimed a top spot in any martial arts competition, their presence a
testament to their formidable skill.
Yet, Emmanuel remained undaunted. Even with three opponents closing in,

he held his ground with fierce defiance, pushing them back with unwavering
strength.
“Retreat! We must retreat immediately!” Envoy Aora’s voice trembled with
urgency. They had initially believed that taking down the so–called
Grandmaster of Nuthana would be a simple task. However, the unforeseen

presence of Rhett on Emmanuel’s side, coupled with Emmanuel’s drastically
enhanced strength, had thrown their plans into disarray. Even with their
combined might, the odds of overcoming Emmanuel were slim.
The only viable course of action was to withdraw.
“Think you can escape so easily? Not a chance!” Emmanuel’s eyes burned
with a fierce, unyielding resolve as he prepared to pursue them. But before
he could advance, one of the cloaked adversaries scattered a cloud of
noxious yellow powder into the air. The toxic substance quickly clouded the
surroundings, adding a sinister layer to the retreat.
Simultaneously, the remaining two masters unleashed a barrage of hidden weapons, forcing Emmanuel to retreat to avoid the onslaught.
“Ah, Emmanuel, you’ve done well. But remember, one day I’ll face you in a true
one–on–one battle!” Envoy Aora’s voice, laced with bravado, rang out even as
they made their cowardly exit.
During the retreat, a voice called out from behind, breaking through the

tumultuous atmosphere. “Emmanuel!”
Mackenzie’s voice carried across the battlefield, cutting through the clamor
and adding an unexpected twist to the chaotic scene.
Concerned that pursuing the fleeing enemies might leave his beloved wife,
child, and sister–in–law vulnerable, Emmanuel reluctantly abandoned the
chase and turned back toward Mackenzie. The weight of his decision hung
heavy in the air, as he hurried to confirm their safety.
Upon reaching Mackenzie, who was frantically searching for signs of harm,
Emmanuel felt a surge of relief when she assured him that he was
unscathed. With a mix of urgency and concern, Mackenzie rushed to Rhett’s
side, her eyes filled with worry. “Are you alright?”
Rhett, though injured, brushed off the concern with a casual demeanor. “It’s
just a scratch. It’s nothing serious! I failed to apprehend the assassins. Please,
punish me as you see fit, Your Holiness.”
True to her compassionate nature, Mackenzie’s response was gentle and

understanding. “As long as you’re safe, there will be no punishment.”
Her words carried a tender warmth that made even Lexi, who stood nearby,
pause in admiration. Since her marriage, Mackenzie had transformed into ar
even more captivating figure, radiating an undeniable charm that
enchanted those around her.
Mackenzie’s next question cut through the tension. “Emmanuel, have you
discerned who those attackers were?”
Emmanuel, having swiftly circled the estate and gathered crucial
intelligence, answered without hesitation. “The four masters we encountered
are most likely the infamous Great Four Envoys of the General Chamber of
Commerce’s President. Their martial prowess exceeded what I had
anticipated. The one clad in the red cloak was particularly formidable,
possessing double–S class.”
Mackenzie absorbed this information with a nod of understanding.
“The other faction is probably affiliated with the official military and may be
