Chapter 661
Although the battle between the two women outside the south gate didn’t
have an audience, it was intense.
Blue Rose exerted more force and cracked Eve’s wrist, causing the black whip
in her hand to fall to the ground.
Eve seized the chance and repeatedly struck Blue Rose with her elbow before
-she managed to push the woman away.
Blue Rose did a backflip and landed on the ground before putting on a smug
smile. “Since a young age, I’ve never lost a fight to a woman. Now that your
wrist is fractured, you’re unable to use the whip anymore. How are you going
to defeat me?”
Eve looked at the smug woman in silence, then tried to move her right wrist.
However, any slight movement would cause her excruciating pain.
Indeed, she lives up to her title as the special instructor of the Sette
Intelligence Office. Her close–quarters combat skills are superb.
“I’m never interested in killing a nobody. Tell me your name, and I’ll kill you
straight away.”
Blue Rose walked toward the spot where she had dropped her dagger, and
with a flick of her toes, she retrieved her weapon from the floor.
She appeared to be confident.
On the other hand, Eve remained silent. Her eyes appeared determined and
emotionless, but it was glowing with a cold glint, making her look like a wolf in
the darkness.
“You call Emmanuel ‘Sir‘, so I’m a*suming you used to be a member of the
Wolf Warrior Unit.‘
TI

Blue Rose inched closer to the woman and licked her dagger before curling
her lips. “As a Wolf Warrior member, you indeed have a great fighting spirit.
You don’t even look despondent in such a situation. Why don’t I let you have a
-taste of despair?”
The next moment, she wielded her dagger with a whoosh, which made it look
like a flash of lightning in the darkness.
Eve was adept at using a long whip, and she had excellent close–quarters
combat skills too. Unfortunately, the other party was even stronger, and her
joints were different from an average person’s, allowing her to attack her
enemies from various angles. As such, it was difficult for Eve to fend her off.
Soon enough, several wounds formed on Eve’s body. The wounds looked like
they had split apart.
The next instant, a lethal light reached for her heart.
At the most critical moment, Eve moved away, but she soon felt a sharp pain
in her abdomen.
Blue Rose had struck the woman’s left chest with her knee, causing half of her
body to turn numb as she was sent flying away.
Eve rolled away on the floor for several moments before she got up with one
knee.
“Well, I have to say that you’re one of the most resilient women I’ve ever
contended with.”
Blue Rose arrogantly wielded her dagger, but her gaze soon turned ferocious.
“However, the more resilient you are, the more pain you’ll suffer!”
Then, she attacked the woman again with a whoosh.
Eve leaped away and watched the other party’s movements attentively. Just
then, she heard the noise of a battle coming from behind.
What’s going on? Did anyone ambush Sir?
Since she was distracted, several wounds formed on her figure again.
Blue Rose sneered. “How are you still in the mood to be concerned about
others? Do you think anyone will come to your rescue? Stop dreaming. Once I
kill you, I’ll go over and destroy Emmanuel. All of you have to die!”
Seizing the chance, Eve leaped backward and snuck into the underbrush.
“Damn it! How dare you try to run away?!”
Blue Rose quickly searched for the woman by tracing the metallic tang in the
air. She knew that a cliff was on the other end, so there was no chance for
Eve to flee.
Presently, Emmanuel was being pushed toward the edge of the cliff as Quinn
and the others joined forces.
“L–Let go of me, Emmanuel. If this drags on, both of us will die!” Claudette said
as tears slid down her cheeks.
Those were not tears of sorrow in a state of despair. Instead, those were
tears of content as the man was willing to risk his life to save her.
“No, I’m not going to leave you behind!”
Chapter 662
Emmanuel said to the woman in his arms, “Didn’t you say that the wind rises,
and we must give it all we got to carry on? I won’t give up on you…”
“Go to hell, brat!” Quinn was heard growling again. He was previously
humiliated by Emmanuel inside the restaurant, so he had to destroy the man
to get his revenge.
-Black Bear was equally resentful of Emmanuel as well. He charged toward
the man from a different direction like a bull.
Emmanuel had to deal with Quinn with one hand while carrying Claudette in
his other. As such, he was struck by Black Bear, causing the woman to fly
away. “Ah!”
The next moment, Emmanuel extended his palm toward Quinn and struck
Black Bear with his fist.
Bang! Black Bear only had some brute force, but his internal energy wasn’t
comparable to that of Emmanuel at all. Needless to say, he was sent flying
away following the attack.
Quinn exchanged several moves with Emmanuel in just a moment and
realized he was weaker than the younger man when it came to his internal
energy. Unable to persevere anymore, he moved backward.
Faced with the impact of these two forces, Emmanuel had no choice but to
leap away to avoid falling down the cliff.
However, the moment he landed on the ground, a man, who had been
waiting for a chance to launch a sneak attack, charged toward Emmanuel
with a dagger.
Emmanuel immediately captured him and whirled around to cast him away.
Even though he was dealing with three people, he still gained the upper
hand.
Quinn couldn’t accept this, and he was so furious that he almost went mad.
“Why is this young man so much stronger than I am?”
It felt like someone had been studying hard every day for 12 years, but during
the final exam, he was defeated by a young kid who was barely ten years old.
Nothing felt more humiliating than that.
“Don’t fret, Mr. Quinn. We’re not losing yet!” Magnus was suddenly heard
placating the older man under the night sky. He remained calm and
collected.
An alarmed Emmanuel turned around, only to see Magnus holding the dying
Claudette hostage.
“Heroes are the ones who end up being successful. Even if a person is weak,
as long as they remain calm and use their wits, they’ll still win the fight.”
When Quinn saw what was going on, he was astounded. Previously, he had
followed Magnus to the restaurant to provoke Emmanuel because the man
was fond of Claudette.
Much to his surprise, Magnus was now threatening the woman’s life to make
-Emmanuel yield. He was considered a grandmaster in martial arts, so he
despised gaining victory in such a way.
However, Magnus didn’t care what was on the older man’s mind. He adjusted
his gla*ses and flashed a smile at Emmanuel. “Do you want her to go to hell?
Or are you going to kill yourself?”
Despite his gentle smile, he looked more like a demon.
Emmanuel replied with a smile, “I want you to go to hell.”
At the same time, he stepped forward.
“You’d better stay put!” Magnus took a step forward and held Claudette in
front of him before warning, “Emmanuel, it’s my first time hearing a joke from
you, but it’s not funny at all. You’re only doing Claudette a disservice.”
Emmanuel had no choice but to stop in his tracks. He would rather deal with
ten Quinns than get into a battle of wits with Magnus, for the man was
calculating in every move he made.
“Emmanuel, I’ll give you five seconds to surrender. Otherwise, Claudette will
go to hell.” Magnus clenched the woman’s neck with one hand. He sported a
gentle expression, for there wasn’t a need for him to look hideous or exert
more force.
Given Claudette’s condition, she would pa*s away if her injury wasn’t treated
immediately. As such, she couldn’t be hurt anymore.
“D–Don’t surrender, Emmanuel! After I pa*s away, just make sure to send
Magnus to hell as well!” Claudette put on a smile, seemingly unafraid.
Magnus was equally bold as he said with a satisfied smile, “That’s great,
Princess Claudette. Since I’m your knight, I’m more than willing to go to hell
with you.”
With that, he lugged the woman toward the edge of the cliff while
constricting her neck.
“No, don’t do that!” Emmanuel quickly told him to stop.
Chapter 663
Emmanuel heard of angels and demons when he was a young kid, but he
had never seen such creatures before. As far as he was concerned, if there
were demons in the world, they would look hideous with pointed teeth.
Needless to say, one would be terrified the moment they caught sight of
such creatures.
However, it wasn’t until now that Emmanuel realized what a demon looked
Tike. Although Magnus wasn’t handsome, he was well–mannered and
gentlemanly.
Emmanuel had no idea if the man was putting on an act or that he was
raised well. Either way, many people would take the initiative to befriend him.
Who would have thought that even though he had confessed his love to a
woman, he would still break her fingers and even clench her neck to threaten
another man with her life?
-Besides that, he remained calm and collected, and his voice was as gentle
as ever; that was what made him terrifying. Who in the world could
dispa*sionately kill the woman he loved?
If he didn’t love Claudette, why did he look so sincere while confessing his
love to her? Perhaps that was what a demon was capable of doing.
“Five! Four! Three!” Magnus started counting down, ready for any eventuality.
“No!” Emmanuel raised his hands. “I’ll surrender!”
At this point, he had no choice but to throw in the towel. After all, he couldn’t
let Claudette die. If saving her was his mission, her death would mean that
-he had failed his task.
As a Wolf Warrior member, he was always ready to sacrifice himself to
complete his task. Certainly, he hadn’t given up yet, and he was still looking
for a chance to strike.
“No!” Claudette shouted with all her strength, but she realized her voice was
weak. She wondered if Emmanuel had heard her.
The next moment, Magnus waved his hand. Black Bear endured his pain and
charged toward Emmanuel again. Quinn was even quicker as he extended
his palm, after which an air blast sent Emmanuel flying away.
Still hoping to survive, Emmanuel held on to a rock right before he fell off the
cliff.
“Let go!” Magnus demanded.
Certainly, Emmanuel wouldn’t obey his order, for he had a strong desire to
live. Once he let go, it was akin to suicide.
Meanwhile, he secretly grabbed some stones, waiting for a chance to
Counterattack. He knew that when a person believed they had gained victory,
they would be complacent. By appearing to be weak, he was readying
himself to strike.
“Go and help him!” Magnus ordered.
“Haha…” Black Bear directly stepped on the man’s hand.
Despite the excruciating pain, Emmanuel gritted his teeth and held on. Since
it was the middle of the night, he had no idea how tall the cliff was. However,
he had a feeling that he would be killed if he fell.
“Go to hell!” Quinn extended his hand in an attempt to break the man’s
fingers.
Emmanuel knew that his enemies were probably complacent at this point, so
he was ready to kill Quinn first before destroying Magnus. Although it was a
huge risk to take, he had no choice but to give it a shot.
Just then, Magnus was heard exclaiming, “Claudette!”
He subconsciously extended his hand. Much to his surprise, the woman
struggled out of his grip and jumped off the cliff while he was distracted.
“Claudette!” Emmanuel’s eyes widened in disbelief as he fell into a dazed
state. Once again, he witnessed Claudette sacrificing herself to save him.
Chapter 664
There was a smile on Claudette’s face.
Didn’t she tell me that the wind rises, and we must give it all we got to carry
on? Why is she giving up now?
Initially, Quinn wanted to seize the chance to break Emmanuel’s fingers, but
he stopped what he was doing because of the turn of events. By the time he
came to his senses, he decided to destroy the man immediately. He
understood that since Claudette was dead, Emmanuel had no more
restraints, and the three of them wouldn’t be a match for him even if they
joined forces.
“Let’s call it a day, Emmanuel. The fight between us has just started. I’ll destroy
you sooner or later!” Magnus was fully aware of what was going to happen,
so he turned around to leave upon finishing his words, not daring to stay
there any longer.
“Ah! I have to kill you, Magnus!” Emmanuel penetrated Quinn’s hand with the
stone and leaped onto the cliff.
When Quinn saw that the man was drenched in bloodlust, he was horrified.
Not daring to continue the fight with him, he covered his blood–soaked hand
and fled. He was merely working for Magnus for the money, so he didn’t want
to lose his life.
Similarly, the other man also quickly ran away in horror.
While ignoring the rest of them, Emmanuel growled and furiously extended
his fist toward Magnus.
Despite the distance, Magnus was so terrified that he was soon soaked in
sweat.
“Run, Mr. Magnus!” At the most critical moment, the royal Black Bear dashed
forward and got struck in Magnus‘ stead.
Crack! He was always proud of his robust figure, but a dent formed in his
body following Emmanuel’s attack, and his bones broke apart. At the same
-time, he sprayed out a mouthful of blood at Emmanuel.
Without hesitation, Magnus continued to run while looking battered. Faced
with Emmanuel’s death threat, he no longer looked as elegant as usual.
“Dang it!” Emmanuel wanted to get rid of Black Bear, but the 200–pound guy
held on to his fist.
He was a righteous person. Even though Black Bear was his foe, he admired
the other party for his fearlessness. Eventually, he decided not to attack the
corpse. Instead, he slowly retracted his hand. Black Bear’s figure was stiff, and
he was obviously dead.

Meanwhile, Blue Rose, who was searching for Eve in the darkness, heard the
noise coming from the cliff. “Haha! It seems that Claudette is dead!”
The next moment, she saw Magnus running toward her in a hurry. “Is
everything going to plan, Mr. Magnus? I can see that you’ve gained the
victory again.”
Admiration was written all over the woman’s face.
She had witnessed Magnus coming up with plans and defeating their
enemies countless times. Even though they were dealing with Emmanuel,
who was touted as the Northern Region Wolf Warrior, she believed Magnus
would end up being the winner.
Nevertheless, Magnus ignored the woman and brushed past her.
“Mr. Magnus?” Blue Rose was surprised, for she had never seen the man
looking as flustered as this. Did something happen?
Just then, a figure appeared behind her with a whoosh.
“Damn it!” Blue Rose knew she had been negligent, so she immediately
turned around to counterattack, but it was too late.
Eve forcefully wrapped her legs around Blue Rose’s neck and used her weight
to pin the woman onto the ground.
Crack! Blue Rose instantly found it difficult to breathe, feeling that her neck
was about to break.
“Let me tell you what a wolf is!” Eve gritted her teeth and exerted more force
on her legs. “A wolf is the most patient beast! To get to its prey, it can lurk in
the darkness for seven days; it can show weakness; it can get hurt; and it can
even risk its life. However, it will never give up hunting down its target. It can
endure a long period of pain to gain the victory. I, Eve Thompson, am a Wolf
Warrior!”
The moment Eve finished speaking with agitation, she growled and used all
her strength to kill the woman.
Blue Rose’s eyes popped out, and her face was livid. Within seconds, the light
seemed to have gone out of her gaze.
Even in the last moments of her life, she still didn’t understand why she was
killed by the other party when she had gained the upper hand. She also didn’t
understand why a brilliant man like Magnus would be defeated by another
man.
Chapter 665
Magnus entered the Lenoir residence in a hurry. He didn’t think Emmanuel
had the guts to barge into such a place and kill him, but he was still worried
nonetheless. After all, Emmanuel was incensed, and it was hard to predict
what he would do.
All of a sudden, an elegant woman appeared and greeted him respectfully,
saying, “Mr. Magnus!”
“Mrs. Quillen?” Initially, Magnus was ready to leave the Lenoir residence, but
he decided to stay there for a while longer.
The woman before his eyes was none other than Felicity. After she fell out
with the Quillen family, she decided to return home to spend New Year’s.
Magnus hadn’t had a proper talk with her before.
“Why does it look like you’re in a hurry, Mr. Magnus?” Felicity wanted to ask him
about where Adolph was, but it was apparently not a good time to do so.
“There’s something I need to attend to,” Magnus replied politely.
Then, he continued with a smile, “I heard that those from the Quillen family
have been treating you badly, Mrs. Quillen. They even joined forces and took
your belongings away. Have you retrieved them?”
Felicity was startled, not expecting the scion of Zovince to be aware of her
affairs. “It’s so embarra*sing for me, Mr. Magnus. Since we’re family,
sometimes it’s hard to divide our a*sets.
Magnus was on the run, so he decided to cut to the chase. “You have a point,
Mrs. Quillen, but if you manage to get back your things, I’ll be more than
willing to buy them from you. I’ll even offer a billion or two. Let’s have a proper
negotiation by then.”
“Well…” Felicity was tempted. She wasn’t an ambitious person. All she wanted
was a better life for the Lenoirs and herself.
Besides that, she had always admired Adolph since a young age. Her brother
once told her that if a person wasn’t the most powerful one, they would
always be restricted by the rest. On the other hand, money would give one
the best support.
This world was all about connections, and money was what made the world
go round. The leaders of some countries were controlled by the capitalists,
and they were merely the spokespeople for the conglomerates behind them.
Therefore, just like her brother, Felicity valued money the most.
“If you face any difficulties, you can always reach out to me. I’m more than
willing to help,” Magnus said gentlemanly.
“Thanks, Mr. Magnus.” Felicity dipped her head, feeling confident that she’d
get back the things that were rightfully hers.
“I’ll take my leave, then.” Magnus nodded at the woman and walked past her.
Many people regarded Magnus as an intelligent person who was adept at
observing people’s expressions and reading their minds.
He could tell that Felicity would certainly help him get the two things from the
Quillen family.
204
After leaving the Lenoir residence, Emmanuel didn’t have the nerve to go
home, for he was worried his mother would be anxious when she saw him
injured.
His wife was staying at the Quillen residence for the new year holidays, so he
decided to return to the Yociam Residence on his own.
