“W–What happened here?!”
When Ashton followed Sage into the room again, she was stunned. Hearing
the gunshot earlier, she thought Deon had killed Emmanuel, and even if that
were not the case, Emmanuel would still be bleeding profusely from the
wound.
However, that was not the sight that greeted her!
“Was I hearing things?” she muttered as she looked at Deon and the two
subordinates lying on the floor, all knocked unconscious!

Sage, however, was looking at the bullet on the wall, deep in thought.
“Be careful of this maniac, Mr. Payne! He’s probably dangerous!” Ashton finally
recognized Emmanuel’s power, so she warned Sage of the possible danger.
Mr. Payne? When Emmanuel heard that name, he was secretly stunned as he
stood where he was. He trembled a little when he saw the 4–inch scar
However, when she was about to get her hands on Emmanuel, Sage
immediately shouted, “Stop it, Ash! You’re being impudent to him!”
What? What does he mean?! She was startled as she turned to look at Sage.
The shocked look in her eyes had a hint of indignance in them. Why would Mr.
Payne, who was usually cold and unfathomable, say I’m being impudent to a
jerk like him? He even seemed very respectful toward him!
Sage ignored her as he walked over to Emmanuel, uttering respectfully, “Mr.
Lowe, pardon me, but please tell me about the details of the case.”
Mr. Lowe? Pardon me? Please?? Ashton was starting to get a little confused.
What is going on?!
Emmanuel was cursing Sage in his mind. How could Sage talk to him like that
when there were outsiders around? Did Sage not consider that woman as an
outsider?
“Hey, Mr. Payne is talking to you!” Ashton was already pissed, so when she
saw her idol talking to Emmanuel, who purposely delayed his response, she
wanted to kick him.
“Um, well… Back then, Magnus brought Black Bear along to kill me and Ms.
Lenoir. In my attempt to protect her, I accidentally… killed Black Bear. I–I swear
I was just defending myself! As for Ms. Lenoir, Magnus threw her off the cliff!
I–I swear!” Emmanuel was stil! purposefully trembling.
“Damn, you’re still spouting nonsense!” Ashton never believed Emmanuel
anyway, so his response rendered her even more confident that he was just
playing tricks. She could barely hold back the urge to hit him.
Sage, however, stopped Ashton as he stared intently at Emmanuel, frowning
slightly. He also thought that he had gotten the wrong person. Maybe this
Emmanuel isn’t the one from the Northern Region.
Although the information on the Northern Region Wolf Warrior Unit was an
S–rank secret, and information on the Wolf Warrior was an SSS–rank secret,
he and that man used to be comrades who went through lethal dangers
together. How could he not know the man’s name?
“Um, yes, that’s how it is… Sir, can I leave now? My wife is still waiting for me at
home…” Emmanuel continued putting on the poor citizen act, shifting his tone
on purpose.
However, when Sage heard his words, he remained motionless for a long
time, Emmanuel could feel the burning gaze looming over him and felt
extremely uncomfortable.
“Can you raise your head?” Sage insisted, speaking slowly.
“Sir, I’m not some beautiful woman. What’s there to see about me?” For the
