“Yos!”

Larry nodded honestly. “But I doubt my pleas will do you any good. If you
show up at the Quill estate tomorrow and lose, your fate will be sealed–you’ll
die.”
Emmanuel couldn’t help but laugh.
First of all, he didn’t believe for a second that he would lose.
Secondly, Larry’s blunt honesty was a breath of fresh air compared to the
usual hypocritical chatter.
“Stop the car!” Emmanuel suddenly ordered Sage. He then turned to Larry.
“Go back home. I don’t need a hostage. Just deliver a message to the Quills
for me–if my sister suffers even the slightest harm, I’ll wipe your entire family
off the face of the earth. There won’t be a single blade of grass left standing.
And I mean every word.”

Chapter 1987 The Ruthless Beauty
Larry could hardly bear the terrifying aura radiating from Emmanuel. His
heart pounded in his chest as he nodded.
He had clearly underestimated this man.
Fear gripped him as the horrifying thought crossed his mind. What if Owen
has done something to his sister? If that happens, the Quill family is doomed!
Meanwhile, back at the Quill family estate…
Gwain and his two companions had arrived just as Owen had planned. Owen
had already tied up Roselynn in a side room, waiting for them to arrive.
“Miss Roselynn, why did you deceive me?”
Gwain’s voice was cold as ice. Gone was the graceful demeanor he once
carried–his eyes were now dark and ruthless.
Looking at him now, no one could connect this’cruel figure with the
world–renowned gentleman he had once appeared to be.

He had come expecting to witness something far more scandalous, but
things weren’t playing out the way he had imagined.
“B*tch! Don’t push your luck!”

Gwain ignored Owen and pointed at Roselynn with fury in his eyes. “The
Dragon Tome rightfully belongs to my family! If you don’t recite it, don’t blame
me for what happens next! I’ll make you wish you were dead!”
With her fiery temper, Roselynn refused to be intimidated by threats. She
sneered, her voice laced with sarcasm. Go ahead, kill me! See what you get
out of it!”
She wasn’t even sure if the Dragon Tome she memorized was authentic or
not, but seeing how obsessed Gwain was with it, she was determined not to
give in.
A man like him, with all his hypocrisy and wickedness, can never be allowed
to gain that kind of power,

If he masters that martial arts technique, he’ll be unstoppable, and the world
will pay the price.
But more than that, he’s an enemy. If he gets any stronger, Emmanuel and
the others will be in unimaginable danger.
Smack!
Another vicious slap from Gwain knocked Roselynn unconscious.
Blood streamed from her nose and ears, and her face was a ghastly mess.
“Mr. Lannister, hitting her won’t do any good,” Owen remarked, finally unable
to hold his tongue.
Gwain let out a cold grunt. His anger had gotten the best of him, and in his
lack of experience, he had resorted to nothing but slapping a woman.
Just then, the door to the side room swung open. To everyone’s surprise,
Yuna walked in, flanked by bodyguards.

Chapter 1987 The Bulless Beauty
“Mr. Gwain, what are you all doing?”
Yuna had learned from Emmanuel that Roselynn was being held at the Quill
estate, and she had rushed ahead to set things in motion.
After all, she was almost certain that Emmanuel was none other than the
Northern Region Wolf, her father’s biggest enemy. If she could find a way to
eliminate him, her father would finally be able to rest easy.
“Ms. Tanner!”
Owen’s eyes instantly lit up.

Even though Yuna wearing a veil, her alluring figure, those
mesmerizing eyes, and the faint, intoxicating fragrance that accompanied
her left him completely entranced.
To Yuna, Owen was nothing more than a stray dog–her attention was solely
on the handsome Gwain.
“Hmph! This woman has seen the Dragon Tome, yet she stubbornly refuses

to recite it to me. I had no choice but to get rough with her!”
Gwain was clearly in a foul mood.
He had recently come to realize that he wasn’t the best in the world. Worse,
there were already calls for him to represent Chanaea against Shoiyans.
If this continued, he would eventually be forced to fight, and he knew he
wouldn’t be able to handle the humiliation if he lost in front of the whole
world. His reputation would be shattered.
“Mr. Gwain, you can’t just keep hitting her like this. You’ve got to use some real
tactics.
“Tactics?”
“Yeah! Like standing on her toes, sticking needles under her fingernails, or
driving a nail into her forehead… When dealing with someone stubborn like
her, you’ve got to be a bit cruel!”
Owen couldn’t help but shiver at Yuna’s words.

Chapter 1987 The Ruthless Beauty
Is this really one of the famed Four Beauties?
Beneath that flawless exterior beats a heart as venomous as a snake’s.
Even Gwain flinched a little at her suggestion, but as he recalled all the
humiliation he had suffered, his rage flared up once more. Gritting his teeth,
he growled, “Fine, let’s do it. But I’m not very skilled at these things.”
“Let me help you then. After all, I am the woman standing behind you,” Yund
said as she leaned closer.
Hank and Wyatt exchanged knowing glances.
They had long suspected that the Four Beauties weren’t just about looks-
each of them had sharp minds and cunning tactics. Clearly, Yuna had
inherited more than just her beauty.
A moment later, a bucket of cold water was dumped over Roselynn’s head,
jolting her awake.
She looked around and saw that she was tied to a chair. Her arms and legs

“Roselynn, I suggest you hurry up and recite the Dragon Tome, or I’m afraid I’ll
have no choice but to hurt you,” Yuna said sweetly, holding a toothpick and
tracing it along Roselynn’s ring finger.
The look in Yuna’s eyes sent a chill down Roselynn’s spine. This woman is as
cold and ruthless as a snake.
I won’t!”
Roselynn refused without hesitation.
Stab!
