“Claudette! What brings you here?” Beatrix put down the phone, beaming as
she saw Claudette enter.
Lately, Claudette had been a great help, even risking her life twice to save
Emmanuel. She was a highly reliable figure, and the entire Quillen family
trusted her deeply.
“Is your sister having trouble in the West End and needs backup?” Claudette
a’sked curiously.
“Yes, she’s asking us to send over a million carp!”
“A million carp?!” Claudette’s eyes went wide in surprise.

“Hehe, I had the same reaction as you when I heard it! But even if it costs a
few million, it’s nothing compared to recovering assets worth billions. That’s
like using small bait to catch a big fish!” Ever since taking charge of the
Company, Beatrix had become quite the strategist. “And hey, after we retrieve
the billions, we can restock the carp and eat them ourselves!*
Claudette chuckled, her smile pure and radiant, so beautiful it left Beatrix
momentarily mesmerized. After a brief pause, she sighed, “Emmanuel’s got
no taste! Magnus may be a rogue, but he’s got a sharp eye for beauty.”
“Who’s Magnus?” Claudette asked, seizing the opportunity to learn more.
“Oh, him? Let’s see… he’s a troublemaker through and through!” Beatrix
tapped her chin thoughtfully, about to recount the story, when Laura
suddenly entered.

“Claudette!” Laura called, interrupting their chat with deliberate timing.
“Mom, what brings you here?” C
here?” Claudette turned to her with a warm smile,
ddressing her as “Mom” with a newfound ease.
“I was looking for you, sweetheart. Someone said you were here, so I came
over!” Laura took Claudette’s hand, smiling. “Curious about who Magnus is?”
“Yeah, the name sounds familiar. Beatrix said he’s a villain?” Claudette blinked
in question.
“Oh, he’s a villain, alright–one out to steal your heart! Come along; let me fill
you in.” Laura took Claudette’s hand, winking playfully at Beatrix on her way
out.

“Mom, who exactly is Magnus? Do I know him?” Claudette asked the moment
they left the office. “He asked us to ship a million carp to the West End to help
Mackenzie recover assets worth billions.”
“Magnus… he’s a clever troublemaker–and your childhood friend! He’s been
infatuated with you since you were kids,” Laura said with a grin.
“My childhood friend?” Claudette’s eyes lit up with a hint of anticipation. “Is he
good–looking?”

Laura chuckled. “Not as handsome as Emmanuel–just average, about five
foot eight. That’s why you never liked him!”
ah, I see.” Like many women, Claudette had a weakness for looks, and her
initial curiosity faded a bit.
“Yep. He’s still single, and so are you, and, well, you’ve lost your memory, so
this could be a fresh start. I’m sure he’ll try to pursue you next time
you meet.
Be prepared!” Laura teased.
Claudette smiled but didn’t press for more, simply thinking to herself, So I had
a smart admirer? She couldn’t help but wonder, though: if he was that clever,
how had he never won her over?

Emmanuel had his own hands full. That day marked the official
announcement of the marriage alliance between the Chapman and Tanner
families, and as Nathan’s mentor, Emmanuel had received an invitation to
he event.
Over the past few days, he’d tried to contact Xylie, curious to know her
thoughts on the marriage, but she seemed unreachable–possibly under
some form of restriction. As for Nathan, Emmanuel had asked him directly,
and his response was casual. Nathan held a certain admiration for Xylie’s
pure beauty and didn’t mind the marriage, seeing it as no bad deal.
However, on his way to The Paramount Regency, a hotel in Zovince,
Emmanuel found his car stuck in heavy traffic. The vehicles were at a
complete standstill.

“What’s going on?” he asked, noticing they hadn’t moved for some time,
Sage rolled down the window, and a Wolf Warrior aide hurried over to report,
sir, there’s a Shoiyan fighter challenging the Ironleaf Clan up ahead. Locats
have gathered to watch the commotion, and it looks like we won’t be able to
pass through this area any time soon.”
Sage frowned and asked, “Boss, should we take a detour to The Paramount
Regency?”
Emmanuel considered it, glanced at the time, and decided to step out of the
car, opening the door himself. “Let’s go check it out.”
Sage quickly followed him.

Emmanuel had a hunch that Yorick had arrived in Zovince. Sure enough, as
they pushed through the crowd, he spotted a group of people gathered
around the entrance to the Ironleaf Martial Hall, with none other than Gwain
onnister–the man widely regarded as the strongest in Chanaea–at the
center.

Seeing Gwain here confirmed it: this was likely the day Yorick had chosen to
challenge the Eight Supreme Grandmasters.
Sensing the presence of a powerful fighter, Gwain turned and locked eyes
with Emmanuel.

Immediately, several members of the Lannister family noticed Emmanuel’s
arrival, and a group swiftly moved toward him.
Emmanuel Lowe, some nerve you have to show your face here today after
killing our Hank! You won’t get away today!” An elderly man with a beard
confronted Emmanuel first, his emotions running high, ready to strike at any
moment.
Sage, ever vigilant, stepped in front of Emmanuel, shielding him. But
Emmanuel remained unmoved, asking coolly, “And who might you be?”
“Hmph, I’m Hank’s uncle, Clive Sheridan,” the old man declared proudly.
At the mention of his name, the crowd buzzed with recognition.
“So that’s Clive Sheridan, the successor of the Rolling Thunder Fist and the

“Right! I heard his martial skills are just below the Eight Supreme
Grandmasters–he’s incredibly powerful!”
“That guy is in trouble today. Clive has a short fuse, and whether Emmanuel
Lowe killed Hank Sheridan or not, Clive’s bound to give him hell!”
“Exactly, and with Mr. Gwain here, Lowe won’t stand a chance if he doesn’t
run!”
The crowd only knew Gwain, unaware that the man before them was

Fist. While Clive and his technique were known, Emmanuel remained unfazed,
“I didn’t kill Hank. I’ve already made that clear, and I don’t have time to go
over it again. Now, move aside.”
A few onlookers began to regard Emmanuel with newfound respect–he truly
seemed unshaken by Clive’s formidable reputation.
“Ridiculous! All the evidence points to you, yet you still deny it? I’ll see to it
you’re punished!” Clive mistook Emmanuel’s stance for fear masked by pride,
assuming he could easily take him down. Without another word, he lunged
directly at Emmanuel.
