Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 1356

Chapter 1356 A Trap 

After escorting Roselynn to the finest hotel in the Onza’s south district, Emmanuel had originally planned to head to the arena to gather some information. However, as he stepped out of the hotel entrance, he coincidentally spotted a grandfather and granddaughter walking ahead. 

The grandfather possessed an air of distinction, clearly not an ordinary individual. 

The young woman, in her twenties, was not as strikingly beautiful as Mackenzie and Hattie, but she exuded an elegant and graceful demeanor, unmistakably a refined lady. 

As they strolled and conversed, they discussed the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, indicating that they were also a formidable presence in the competition. 

“By the way, Grandpa, speaking of the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, the Quillen family from Yeringham is participating this time!” 

The granddaughter displayed great enthusiasm for the tournament and spoke with confidence, “The Quillen family was the former champion of the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown thirty years ago. I wonder how their strength will fare after thirty years of silence. It’s truly exhilarating!” 

Emmanuel had not intended to eavesdrop on their conversation and couldn’t help but listen attentively upon hearing them mention the Quillen family. 

“That’s right. I have always been intrigued by the Quillen family from Yeringham. They’re a prestigious family in Nuthana. I fail to comprehend why they only applied to join the Chamber of Commerce this year!” The old man drawled out his words. 

Upon hearing this, Emmanuel couldn’t help but be curious about the old man’s identity. Could he be someone of importance in the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce? 

Unfortunately, the grandfather and granddaughter had exited the hotel and entered a black luxury car. 

Emmanuel was not accustomed to eavesdropping. But as he prepared to make his way to the arena, he noticed, someone discreetly tailing the grandfather and granddaughter outside the hotel. He didn’t particularly desire to get involved, but since he was also heading to the arena and happened to be driving, he decided to follow them from a 

distance. 

As they traversed a suburban road, an unusual stillness enveloped the night. 

The granddaughter, being an Onzanian, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of unease. However, by the time she wanted to alert the old man to turn back and take a different route, it was already too late! 

The road ahead had been obstructed by two large stones as if someone had strategically placed it there. Behind them, two trucks blocked their retreat after they passed an Intersection. 

“Grandpa, something is amiss. It appears that we have fallen into a trap!” the granddaughter exclaimed in panic. 

The old man’s countenance turned serious, but he remained composed and didn’t succumb to panic, having weathered numerous hardships in his life. 

“Sir, fear not, I will protect you and the missus!” the driver, a robust and nimble man, spoke up. He promptly opened the car door and stepped out, prepared to swiftly remove the stones obstructing their path. For an ordinary person, these large stones might be immovable, but for a fighter like him, it wouldn’t be too challenging. 

The granddaughter also held great trust in this personal bodyguard. He was a retired fighter and once a renowned mercenary. So, his strength was beyond question.

However, as soon as he made contact with the colossal stone, hidden weapons suddenly emerged from all directions. 

Due to the darkness of night, these concealed weapons were incredibly swift and difficult to detect! 

“Argh!” In an instant, the confident bodyguard, who had claimed to protect the old man and granddaughter, let out a scream of agony! 

The next moment, two slender metal wires descended from the sky, tightly constricting his neck. Then, the burly man couldn’t even utter a sound. Despite his formidable internal strength, he couldn’t break free from these military-grade metal wires and even severed his own fingers in the process. 

Snap! In less than three seconds, his head had detached from his body, and blood splattered onto the ground. 

“Argh!” The horrifying sight terrified the granddaughter, causing her face to turn pale.
