“It’s… It’s you!” Zaiden clearly recognized the man, beads of cold sweat forming on his 

forehead. 

“You’ve brought disgrace to your noble lineage! In every aspect, you’ve run things into 

the ground! If you lose the position of Nuthana’s vice-chairman, we’ll kill your entire 

family!” The man leaned in close to Zaiden, his voice dripping with cold menace. 

Before Zaiden could respond, the man had already left. The couple shuddered 

repeatedly, shocked that those people would actually treat them this way. But, in a 

sense, it was expected… 

After a 20-minute boat ride, the Quillens had already landed on the island. 

It was like a paradise, opening their eyes wide. In the center of the island was a 

magnificent building named the Badlands Arena, the venue for the finals. Surrounding 

it were various leisure and entertainment facilities, as well as a variety of delicious food.

In short, this was a sanctuary specifically prepared for the scions, the rich, and the 

powerful to watch martial arts matches. There were even clearly marked prices for 

accompanying ladies, with hourly rates written on signs. Shane and Frederick, among 

others, couldn’t help but marvel all the way. The world of the wealthy was truly colorful! 

After disembarking, it was already noon, and the matches weren’t scheduled to start 

until 8 p.m. So, the Quillens didn’t rush to enter but instead rested and played around 

the area. Emmanuel and Mackenzie chose to enter a leisurely cafe, but as soon as they 

stepped in, an ugly man approached them. 

“Hehe, Emmanuel, Ms. Quillen, what a coincidence!” 

“Dotson?” 

Mackenzie saw the ugly man and instinctively asked, “Is Hattie here too?” 

“Yeah, Ms. Zelinsky saw you guys and asked me to come greet you. Please follow me to

the VIP area!” Blake invited the two up to the VIP area.

The couple exchanged a glance and followed him upstairs. Emmanuel thought his wife 

had somehow become best friends with Magnus’ sister. It was quite absurd when he 

thought about it. Yet that seemed to be the reality. 

“Mackenzie, you finally made it! I’ve been waiting for you for so long!” Hattie, who was 

usually aloof and regal, greeted Mackenzie warmly, like an ordinary girl of the same age, 

walking over enthusiastically and taking Mackenzie’s hand. 

Emmanuel was wholly ignored, and he felt a bit speechless… 

She was becoming more and more unlike the girl he first knew. She and Macken 

were even on a first-name basis now. 

“Waited for me? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?” Mackenzie also felt a bit regretful 

about not meeting Hattie earlier.

She had always lacked playmates since childhood. It wasn’t because there weren’t

other girls her age around, but because only those who were similar in various aspects 

could become her close friends. She and Sarah had always clashed; Beatrix was too 

young for her, and the women from other commercial families in Yeringham were too 

different from her. Only someone like Claudette, who was more or less similar, ended up 

becoming her rival. Hattie’s initiative and indifference toward Emmanuel finally allowed 

her to find a woman with whom she could develop a close friendship.

thought you needed rest and didn’t want to bother you!”
