Chapter 365
“I know who you are, Quinn the Cat! Why would someone like you become a
lackey for others?” Emmanuel asked, looking at Quinn.
Quinn trembled slightly, then smiled and asked, “You know me?”
“Of course!” Emmanuel said confidently. “You’re one of Chanaea’s Five
Shapeshifters, and the only one who can achieve such mastery in Palm Drop
must be the great Quinn The Cat of West End, right?” After a pause,
Emmanuel sighed and continued, “It’s a pity. You’re a great master, yet you
stoop so low and serve others like a dog. It’s truly a tragedy in the martial
world!”
Everyone’s gaze shifted between Emmanuel and Quinn. They wondered how
familiar he was with the martial world, but when they realized how renowned
Quinn was, it was no surprise that his martial arts were exceptional!
-However, Quinn retorted coldly, “By saying that, you only make me want to kill
you even more!” Everyone had their pride, and being a grandmaster, working
for money was already a blow to his self–esteem. To have it said out loud in
public was even more embarrassing!
Taking advantage of the gap in the conversation between Emmanuel and
Quinn, Hubert felt that he should do something. Hence, he quietly walked
toward Claudette and gently patted her shoulder. He believed that
Emmanuel wouldn’t live long, and as long as Hubert could convince her to
give up on Emmanuel, there would be no one to plead for his life. Moreover,
he knew killing Emmanuel tonight was only a matter of time. Once Emmanuel
was gone, there would be one less obstacle for him to pursue Mackenzie!
However, to his surprise, as she felt someone touch her, she quickly turned
around and abruptly plunged the fork in her hand into his. Splat! Blood
splattered all around!
“Ah!” Hubert screamed in pain, staggering backward. His hand was instantly
covered in blood. The blood began dripping on the floor, filling the private
room with an increasingly strong and pungent smell.
Everyone was dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events!
On the other hand, Claudette calmly discarded the bloody fork, straightened
her dress and hair, and sat back down, instructing, “Waiter, please bring me a
new set of cutleries.”
When everyone in the room heard this, there was an immediate and
deafening hush as no one dared to respond to her request.
Even Eleanor was in disbelief. Undoubtedly, Ms. Lenoir is one of the most
stunningly beautiful women I have ever seen. She appears elegant and
noble, but who could have predicted that such a goddess would be cruel
and vicious? Just what sort of demons are partying tonight at Serenity
Resort?
The men were equally astounded by what they saw! In their eyes, Claudette
was incredibly enchanting, and many knew she was the princess in Magnus‘
heart, but who could have expected that this princess would be so
inconsistent with her image? She had stabbed someone in the hand with a
fork and ordered another set of silverware without batting an eye. What a
bold woman she was!
However, Magnus frowned and looked at Hubert, asking, “What were you
trying to do?”
At this instant, Hubert did not realize that Magnus was a perfectionist or that
his princess would never allow another man to touch her. Hence, he
explained, “Mr. Magnus, I was worried about a fight breaking out and Ms.
Lenoir getting hurt. I wanted to persuade her to give up on Emmanuel and
come to you, but who would have thought she would be so ruthless and
attack me directly? She’s my relative, after all!”
Seemingly enjoying the situation, Magnus chuckled and replied, “You
meddled too much!”

In the meantime, Hubert realized he had made a foolish mistake when he
saw Magnus‘ gentle expression when he looked at Claudette. Then, he gritted
his teeth and said, “The Lenoir family’s princess is truly unique!”
“How could someone bestowed with the illustrious title of ‘princess‘ by
countless high society individuals possibly be lacking in any form of
individuality?” Magnus commented.
At this instant, Hubert did not realize that Magnus was a perfectionist or that
his princess would never allow another man to touch her. Hence, he
explained, “Mr. Magnus, I was worried about a fight breaking out and Ms.
Lenoir getting hurt. I wanted to persuade her to give up on Emmanuel and
come to you, but who would have thought she would be so ruthless and
attack me directly? She’s my relative, after all!”
