At that moment, in front of the Quill estate’s grand entrance, Raina hurried
along with her father, Jake. The sounds of lively chatter and laughter drifted
from a nearby building, heightening her sense of urgency.
“Darn it, we must have missed Ms. Yuna’s performance,” Raina exclaimed, her
anxiety palpable. As a devoted fan of Yuna, she had eagerly anticipated this
event. However, with the Fletcher family now at odds with the Quill family,
Yuna hadn’t sent her a special invitation. Had she not accompanied her
father, she likely wouldn’t have dared to come at all.
Jake shot her a stern glare, silencing her complaints. The Fletcher family had
chosen to align itself with Emmanuel, creating an insurmountable rift
between them and the Quill family. With Yuna firmly positioned alongside the
Quills, she became their enemy. Faced with such a significant divide, Jake felt
a mix of irritation and concern regarding his daughter’s infatuation with Yuna.
It was one thing for a man to be captivated, but what was the point of a
woman obsessing over another woman?

His gaze shifted toward the Quill estate’s gate, where Denis and his daughter,
Sonia, had arrived even earlier. Beside them was a chubby little creature,
Shane, who clung affectionately to Sonia’s side.
“Richard, Mr. Fletcher, welcome! I didn’t expect you both to show up,” the Quill
family’s elderly butler announced, a sinister smirk playing on his lips. To him,
the uninvited presence of the Toma and Fletcher families felt like an
audacious plunge into a carefully laid trap–an unwelcome venture into
darkness when a path to safety remained open.
“If we’re truly welcome, then why are so many of your people on guard
against us?” Denis, known for his bluntness, replied with a cold retort. They
were well aware of the banquet’s true nature–it was a cunning setup aimed
at Emmanuel.
Having pledged their loyalty to the Quill family, how could they demonstrate
sincerity if they didn’t follow Emmanuel into this gathering? As heads of
prominent families, both men possessed a level of courage and strategic
foresight necessary for high–stakes situations. This was a gamble, a wager
on their fates. Regardless of the outcome, they had to stand alongside

Emmanuel and fight for their cause.
“Haha, you’re overthinking things. Please, come in,” the old butler replied
cheerfully, fully intending to ensnare them all. With the night’s end, Eldoria
would fall completely under the Quill family’s control.

What the old man failed to realize was that while the two family heads were
preoccupied, a top–tier expert had already managed to infiltrate the Quill
Residence.
The seven members of the Toma and Fletcher families swiftly made their
way to the banquet hall, arriving just in time to witness the crowd’s hostile
glares directed at Emmanuel. Amidst the tension, Yuna approached him with
a radiant smile. “I wonder what you think of my performance.”
“It was alright,” Emmanuel replied matter–of–factly.
Such a lukewarm evaluation naturally incited the ire of most in the audience.
They revered Yuna as if she were a goddess, practically worshipping at her
feet and dreaming of kissing the very ground she walked upon. Yet here

stood a man who dared to label her breathtaking porformance as merely
“alright.” How arrogant! How concoltod! How utterly insufferable!
Yuna blinked in slight surprise but quickly composed herself, chuckling as she
responded, “Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Lowe. However, I wonder if you
have any specific suggestions on how I might improve my performance.”
Many in the audience exchanged bewildered glances. Why did Yuna value
Emmanuel so highly? Wasn’t he just a live–in son–in–law from Nuthana?
Gwain and his companions sneered, convinced that Yuna was quite the
manipulator. She clearly knew how to exploit men’s emotions and jealousy,
and the more attention she lavished on Emmanuel, the worse his fate would
1. be. Her admirers were sure to tear him apart without mercy.
“Well, since you’re asking, I do have one suggestion,” Emmanuel replied, not
bothering to hold back. After all, everyone knew the true purpose of today’s
gathering. Yuna aimed to help the Quill family eliminate him, but he intended
to turn the tables, bringing her down along with the family and rescuing his
sister at the earliest opportunity.

“Please, Mr. Lowe, go ahead,” Yuna gestured gracefully with her jade–like
hand, inviting him to continue.
Both Raina and Sonia were astonished. Could this man be so familiar with Ms.
Yuna? After all, her two aunts were world–renowned Maestros.
Emmanuel merely produced a bullet, holding it in his palm with a cold smile.
“Next time I watch you dance, could you try not to snipe at me? It really kills
the mood.”
“What?!” The moment those words left his lips, chaos erupted in the room.
Some exchanged puzzled glances, while others stared intently at the bullet in
Emmanuel’s hand. Yuna feigned surprise, her voice trembling as she asked,
“Mr. Lowe, what are you talking about? How could that have anything to do
with me?”
A group of men immediately began hurling insults at Emmanuel. “You’re a
liar! How dare you accuse her?”
“Someone really tried to snipe you? And you’re still alive? Ridiculous!”

“He must be paranoid!”

Yuna lowered her gaze, concealing the satisfaction swelling in her heart. She
knew that the murmurs and rumors would soon overwhelm Emmanuel,
suffocating him under their weight. After all, she was one of the four beauties,
having bewitched nearly every man present with her graceful dance.
“There had been rumors that the Quillen family was attacked, with
speculation pointing to the Tanner family in Zovince. Looks like that was all
slander, huh?” one man interjected.
“The Quillen family is treacherous, and Emmanuel’s no better,” another
added, fueling the growing animosity in the room.
“I can turn a blind eye to the Quillen family massacre, but slandering Miss
Yuna in this manner and bullying her? I will be the first to object!”
“That’s right! Apologize to Ms. Yund, or you will regret it!”
The threats directed toward Emmanuel began to swell, casting a tense

Sage’s keen eyes darted around, fully alert. He understood that the
commander’s strength was unmatched, yet it remained his duty to protect
him. With the commander needing to split his focus to keep an eye on Yuna,
any moment of distraction could prove perilous,
Emmanuel stood stoically, flicking the bullet away as if it were nothing more
than a speck of dust.
“Ahhh!”
A bloodcurdling scream pierced the air as a sniper toppled from his hidden
position at the side of the ballroom, his presence extinguished in an instant.
The crowd gasped, frozen in disbelief.
Those who had just hurled angry accusations at Emmanuel for defaming
Yuna now fell silent, their voices swallowed by the weight of the moment.
With a slight smirk, Emmanuel broke the tension. “If you doubt me, go ahead
Chapter 1994 The Whole City Against Him
and dismantle his sniper rifle. You’ll see that the bullets match.”

Uneasy glances passed among the onlookers as they processed his words,
their gaze shifting toward the Quillen family, the true hosts of the evening.
“Hmph! You’ve gone too far!”
Before Deangelo could gather his thoughts, Xander erupted with indignation.
He slammed his fist on the table, pointing a fierce finger at Emmanuel. “You
dare come into my house and take lives at will! Do you think we are easy
prey? Men, gather!”
At once, a cadre of elite fighters emerged from the ballroom, their steely
gazes and commanding presence unmistakable. They were no ordinary
men.
Someone in the crowd gasped in astonishment. “That’s the martial legend
from Zovince, Mr. Gregory–he’s undefeated throughout the entire region!”
“Oh no, look! That’s the renowned Mr. Zorrick, the Soaring Crane–his lightness

“And over there, that’s the Twin–Blade Celine–her swordsmanship is nothing
short of extraordinary. When her godson was kidnapped, she
single–handedly dispatched hundreds of kidnappers!”
As these whispered tales drifted through the crowd, Sonia felt a swell of
concern for Emmanuel.
Being from Eldoria, she was no stranger to the names and reputations that
filled the air–each one a master of their craft. It seemed that they were all
preparing to join forces against Emmanuel and his solitary companion.
“Shane, what are we going to do?”
Anxiety gripped Sonia as she pinched Shane, knowing that her family’s fate
was now intertwined with Emmanuel’s. If he fell, her family would surely face
devastation.
“Ouch!”

Shane winced, the pain eliciting an instinctive reaction.

Yet, as Sonia released her grip, he felt a pang of regret. After all, being
scolded and pinched by her had always been a form of affection. What
would he do if she stopped?
Still, he shrugged off his discomfort and replied, “What can we do? We’ll just
have to watch and see how Emmanuel handles this. If three people could
bring him down, he wouldn’t have dared to come here in the first place.”
“That makes sense, but look over there-”
Raina suddenly pointed, her eyes wide with alarm.
Sonia gasped, “Oh my God! It’s not just the three masters–half the
competitors from the Zovince Martial Arts Tournament are here too! We’re
doomed! Absolutely doomed!”
