Chapter 2006
“Ha! Just a moment ago, you were so cocky. What happened to that
expression now?”
The female assassin mocked, raising her hand with deadly intent aimed at
Ethan.
Chester had already closed his eyes in despair, resigned to his fate. The
female assistant and the others stood frozen, their faces etched with
hopelessness as they helplessly witnessed the unfolding tragedy.

Yet, Ethan merely sighed softly, feeling no fear, only a profound sense of
regret. In the unforgiving world of survival, he had to accept the hand he had
been dealt.
Just then, at the last possible moment, the male flight attendant–whom
everyone had assumed to be an assassin–pushed his way through the
crowd. He moved like lightning, stepping forward and gripping the assassin’s
wrist with unyielding strength.

The assassin gasped in shock, her instincts flaring to life. As she lifted her
gaze to size up her opponent, her other hand readied to strike at Emmanuel
from behind.
However, before she could act, he had already subdued her completely.
“Ah? It’s you!” she exclaimed, surprise flickering across her face.
Emmanuel furrowed his brow, pausing the lethal action he had intended.
Instead, he pushed her down to the ground.
To his astonishment, she turned out to be none other than Snake Master’s
sister, Lady Rosa. She had not turned over a new leaf; she remained firmly
entrenched in her old ways.
“Damn it! I won’t let you harm Mr. Hale!” Chester shouted, his heart racing.
Though Chester lacked the strength to match his opponent, he lunged at Emmanuel with fierce determination, resolute in his desire to protect his
leader.

Emmanuel seized both of Chester’s fists and shouted, “Stop! We’re on the
same side! I’m Mr. Wolf!”
“Huh?!”
The female assistant gasped in realization. After retrieving a photo for
comparison, she exclaimed, “Mr. Wolf! It’s you! You boarded the plane!”
Only then did Emmanuel gently release Chester, a sense of relief washing
over him as the tension in the air began to ease.

Ethan, filled with heartfelt gratitude, exclaimed, “Mr. Wolf, thank goodness you
came! I could have lost my life!”
These words pierced Chester’s heart, overwhelming him with bitterness. He
had risked everything to save Ethan, yet it seemed Emmanuel was reaping
all the glory.
“Indeed, I didn’t expect you to be even more formidable than Chester, Mr. Wolf. It’s no wonder Commander Adkins sent you to protect Mr. Hale.” The

female assistant looked at Emmanuel, her eyes filled with admiration for his
strength.
Chester clenched his fists tightly, struggling with the unsettling realization.
Despite having always looked down on Emmanuel, he had to concede that
Emmanuel’s abilities far surpassed his own. This revelation churned within
him, creating an uncomfortable sensation, like a thorn lodged in his throat
that he could not dislodge.
“The situation is not stable yet; this is not the time for idle chatter,” Emmanuel
said, waving his hand dismissively. His focus shifted back to Lady Rosa. “Have
you taken over the cockpit? I advise you not to act recklessly. If Mr. Hale
doesn’t make it out, you all will meet a gruesome end.”
“Hmph!” Lady Rosa scoffed defiantly. “I never intended to die. When I return, I
plan to ask your wife if I can become your concubine.”
As her words hung in the air, a peculiar tension filled the space. The gazes
around her shifted, and everyone regarded Emmanuel with renewed
wariness.

Only Ethan chuckled heartily, breaking the tension. “Ha! Mr. Wolf, it seems you
have a past with this assassin. I can see she cares for you. If it weren’t for
that, we all might have met our doom in the skies.”
Ethan’s insight was sharper than the others‘. While everyone else worried that
Emmanuel’s connection to the female assassin could jeopardize their safety,
he recognized that since she had taken over the cockpit, she must have
prepared for failure. The entire plane might plunge, and they could all perish
together.
Emmanuel nodded at Ethan, his expression resolute, and seized Lady Rosa by
the arm, guiding her firmly toward the cockpit.
Bang!
Emmanuel pushed open the cockpit door, instantly spotting two assassins
who resembled flight attendants. They held the captain and co–pilot
hostage, creating a tense atmosphere within the aircraft.
As the assassins locked eyes with Emmanuel and his companion, their

expressions shifted. They recognized that their assassination attempt had
failed and began to prepare for an attack.
But Emmanuel acted swiftly. He drew his weapon with practiced precision
and eliminated both assassins before they could make a move.
Blood poured into the cockpit, staining the once pristine space. The captain
and co–pilot stared in shock, their hearts racing as the plane trembled
precariously under the weight of the situation.
“Don’t be afraid! The assassins have been dealt with. Just focus on landing
safely in Riverhaven!”
Emmanuel reassured the shaken crew, his voice steady amidst the chaos.
Once their nerves settled, he took Lady Rosa by the hand and led her to an
unoccupied section of the aircraft.
As soon as he released her hand, she tightened her grip on him, her defiance
evident. Before Emmanuel could shoot her a warning glare, she brazenly
quipped, “What’s this? You can hold my hand, but I can’t hold yours? Where’s

the logic in that?”
With an icy resolve, Emmanuel shook off her grip and fixed her with an
intense stare. “You better explain what’s going on. Who sent you to kill Ethan?”
“Who else could it be?”
Lady Rosa shrugged nonchalantly. However, when she sensed the
murderous glint in Emmanuel’s eyes, her demeanor shifted to one of
reluctant submission. “It was Levi, the assistant by Teddy’s side.”
Emmanuel pressed further, determined to get to the bottom of this. “So, the
same person who hired you to kill President Silverbane last time in Nuthana
was also Levi?”
“Yes,” she admitted, a hint of vulnerability in her voice.
She wore a pitiful expression as she continued, “I didn’t betray the organization last time, but now that I’ve spilled the beans, I’m done for.
Considering I betrayed the organization for you, will you think about taking

Emmanuel shot her a cold glare, a clear signal of his disdain.

This woman had not changed; she remained as shameless as ever.

He recalled their last encounter in Yeringham, where she had boldly lifted her
skirt to show him the mark on her inner thigh. Her audacity knew no bounds,
revealing her unreserved nature both in body and spirit, devoid of any sense
of modesty.
“So, you’re still a member of the Redback Assassins? What exactly is your
position within that group?”
Emmanuel sensed something was amiss.
Lady Rosa ranked third among the assassins, yet after a failed mission, she
