Chapter 140 “Hold it!” The crowd blocked Emmanuel before he could enter the company building. Hubert slowly approached from behind, his face filled with anger. Isn’t he Mackenzie’s personal bodyguard? She even used him as a shield at Azure Business Club. This guy has repeatedly ruined my plans. I’m not going to let him off […]
Chapter 139 “Mackenzie, accept Hubert’s proposal!” “Mackenzie and Hubert is a match made in heaven!” “Mackenzie! Hubert! Mackenzie!” Upon hearing the chants, not only Emmanuel but even Beatrix was dumbfounded. How dare Hubert publicly declare his love for Mackenzie after working hours? “Mackenzie, I really love you! I’ll only marry you, and no one else. I’ll pursue you until I succeed!” Hubert declared at the top of his voice. Although it wasn’t his first public confession of love to Mackenzie, it was certainly the most high–profile one. In his quest for success, Hubert generously funded a group of people to assist him. Candles, flowers, a lovesick gentleman, and an aloof beauty. The atmosphere was incredibly romantic. Not only the young onlookers, but even the middle–aged janitors couldn’t resist the surge of emotions welling up inside them. If someone were to confess his love to them in such a manner, they would drop their brooms and rush into his embrace. Everyone was prepared to witness the romantic love story worthy of a drama. However, Mackenzie was still nowhere to be seen. It was too much for Emmanuel to bear. Mackenzie is his wife, for heaven’s sake! Hubert is outrageous. How dare he openly pursue my wife? Emmanuel quickly glanced around and spotted two buckets of water near a security booth. He grabbed them and rushed toward Hubert. “The wind is strong, and the atmosphere is dry. Beware of fire!” Although Emmanuel was furious, he couldn’t reveal his relationship with Mackenzie, especially since they were still outside her company building. He pretended to be a security guard. When the crowd, who were initially filled with excitement, saw him approaching with an aggressive stance, they were instantly shocked. What is he thinking? Doesn’t the security guard know what it means to be romantic? Tsk! Ignoring the bewildered expressions of the crowd, Emmanuel splashed the two buckets of water onto the flame. As the echoes of the extinguished flames faded away, Hubert’s flicker of love was extinguished as well. He stared at Emmanuel in disbelief, a mixture of shock and anger filling his eyes. Is this security guard an imbecile? I was trying to do a romantic confession. He has ruined everything! Emmanuel pretended to heave a sigh of relief, wiping his forehead and
Chapter 138 After finishing his shift at the hospital, Emmanuel drove his Maserati straight to Terence Group the next day. To his surprise, he ran into Beatrix just as she got out of her car at the entrance of the company building. “Hey, Dummy!” Beatrix waved at Emmanuel. Frowning, the man stepped out of his car and approached her, adopting a serious tone. “Ms. Beatrix, I am not a dummy.” “If you aren’t a dummy, why did you respond when I called?” Beatrix chuckled. If she wasn’t his boss, he would have considered snapping back. “All right, I won’t call you that anymore, okay? Don’t be so angry!” Beatrix quickly tried to placate him, considering he had saved her life and was also her brother–in–law. She felt obligated to show him some respect. After all, the nickname was reserved exclusively for Mackenzie. “Do you have a nickname?” Beatrix asked. Emmanuel shook his head even though he had one which was mostly used by his family. “Well, that’s perfect. I’ll give you one now. From now on, you’ll go by Manuel!” Beatrix announced, disregarding Emmanuel’s preferences. Before he could respond, she continued, “I’ll call you Manuel from now on!” “What on earth?” Emmanuel furrowed his brows. Beatrix was indeed stubborn and willful. She had forced a name upon him. “Oh yes, Manuel, how did you manage to leave the hotel unscathed last night?” she asked. Beatrix’s curiosity about the incident grew stronger. Mackenzie had remained tight–lipped despite her relentless questioning. She turned her attention to Manuel, hoping to unravel the mystery. However, Emmanuel couldn’t provide a straightforward response because he didn’t want anyone to know about his past identity. “Did you strike some sort of deal with the female boss to save your life?” Beatrix made a guess when she saw his silence. She had pondered over it last night, and this seemed to be the most plausible possibility. After all, Emmanuel had good looks and an impressive physique. It was possible that the woman had fallen for him. She had even imagined explicit scenes in her mind. If that were indeed the case, she couldn’t help but feel guilty toward Mackenzie. “Wait, a deal? What kind of deal? We just spent some time alone together,” Emmanuel confessed. “What? Alone together? Did anything physical happen?” “She gave me a hug, and that was it.” “What? She hugged you? Was it a tight hug? And then what happened?” “It was a tight hug. Why are you asking about this?” Emmanuel furrowed his brows, thinking that there was something odd about Beatrix. Is this the demeanor of an esteemed young lady from a prominent
Chapter 137 The next moment, Emmanuel emerged from the situation unharmed. “H–How…” Beatrix was in disbelief as she looked at Emmanuel and then at Mackenzie. She didn’t want Mackenzie to think she was playing a prank or lying to her. “Step back!” Mackenzie quickly commanded the bodyguards as she still had to pretend to be poor. Taking advantage of Emmanuel’s obliviousness, Mackenzie made her way toward him. Beatrix decided not to disturb Mackenzie and her husband any further. She swiftly retreated from the scene along with the bodyguards. As Emmanuel lifted his gaze, he caught sight of Beatrix and the twelve skilled bodyguards. Yet, he didn’t link them to Mackenzie. He presumed they were dispatched by Beatrix herself to rescue him. 4 Next, he shifted his attention to his wife. “Why are you here, Ms. Quillen?” “You idiot! Are you trying to be heroic again?” Mackenzie scolded, her eyes filled with concern. “I’ve actually been holding back for a while, but Ms. Beatrix is my boss. How can I stand by and do nothing?” Emmanuel explained while scratching his head. He felt apologetic for causing his wife to worry and go through the trouble of coming to check on him. “Let’s talk when we reach home!” Mackenzie grabbed his sleeve in frustration and pulled him along. Beatrix, who had observing from afar, found it incredibly hard to believe that Mackenzie, known for her cold demeanor and aversion to physical contact, was now willingly holding a man’s hand. Even though it was just the act of holding his sleeve, it signified a remarkable breakthrough nonetheless. “Ms. Thompson,” a group of burly men from the Sky Wolf Society called out in unison outside the hotel. Ignoring her subordinates, Eve walked out of the hotel and fixed her gaze on the departing couple. What a beauty! He certainly has excellent taste! Eve couldn’t help but mock herself. She swiftly put on sunglasses, reestablishing her unapproachable aura, and waved her hand to signal her entourage to leave. On the way back home, Mackenzie remained silent until they were inside and the door was closed. “From now on, you are not allowed to go out at night. You always end up in trouble! Are you some violent maniac who needs to get into fights every time you step out?”
Chapter 136 Three years ago, when an army of a hundred thousand troops from the Northern Region exchanged fire with their enemy on the battlefield, Emmanuel led his team to carry out a special mission to destroy an enemy base. However, there was a spy within their team, which eventually led the seventeen members of the Wolf Warrior team to fall into the trap of their enemies. Emmanuel escaped with his defying skills, but all his men became captives of their enemy. The opposing force told Emmanuel to give up on his mission in exchange for his team members‘ lives. After long contemplation, Emmanuel finally decided to abort the mission for his subordinates‘ safety. As the ace of the Northern Region army, his mission determined the success or failure of the battle. Ultimately, Northern Region suffered significant damages as the Wolf Warrior team failed to accomplish their mission. Within eight years Emmanuel was with Northern Region, he had made seventeen first–class achievements, fifty–two second–class achievements, and a hundred and forty–three third–class achievements. He was known as the Wolf Warrior and was admired by countless people. It was a pity that the only time he failed his mission made him walk off the altar. After his failure, he had a severe mental breakdown. Hence, he voluntarily applied for retirement and returned to Yeringham. From then on, he just wanted to live quietly as an ordinary man. “It wasn’t your fault back then, Sir. I would have made the same decision if I was in your shoes.” Eve sounded emotional. “As a leader, I couldn’t sit back and watch my comrades die before me too!” She had always wanted to tell Emmanuel this. Unfortunately, they lost contact after Emmanuel left the troop. She might never see Emmanuel again if it weren’t for today’s coincidental encounter. “Forget it. It’s all in the past!” Emmanuel merely smiled in response when the past was mentioned. Sometimes, some decisions were bound to be made despite one’s will. As a man, he had to bear the consequences if he made a mistake. That was why he gave up his glory, military rank, and money and returned to his hometown to live a low–profile life. “Sir, from what I know, the Northern Region still longs for the return of Wolf Warrior to continue his mission. If you are willing to go back, I will continue to follow your lead on the battlefield-”
Chapter 135 The tension heightened as the crowd held their breath. “Stop!” In the nick of time, Eve called a halt to the chaos. She stood up and shot Emmanuel a glance before lifting her long, toned legs and kicking in the direction of his face It was a powerful kick How dare he says I’m weak? Huff! A gust of wind whooshed by. Emmanuel remained still as Eve stood firmly before his face in a standing split pose. At a hundred and sixty–three centimeters with a slender build, Eve was tiny compared to Emmanuel. However, she had an imposing aura. Her posture frightened everyone at the scene. Meanwhile, Emmanuel was unfazed. With a smile, he thought, She is as fierce as before! Crack! A second later, Eve stepped mercilessly and smashed the solid wooden table under her feet. In fact, her kick was so powerful a crack appeared on the hotel’s marble floor. It was a ghastly sight, and her strength was terrifying. The crowd watched, and their mouths agape in shock. “As expected of the leader of Wolf Warrior Society! Impressive!” Emmanuel couldn’t help but clap. He was honestly impressed by her. Truthfully, he felt he could not beat this woman before him when it came to brute force alone. Watching the scene, the general manager sneered inwardly. Is he only giving in now? Isn’t that too late? “Who did you call weak?” Eve glared at Emmanuel with her clear eyes. “You, of course!” Emmanuel remained his stance. As a gynecologist, he knew the condition of the woman in front of him very well. “You b*stard! How dare you belittle my sister! You must have a death wish!” Christopher grabbed the gun and pointed it at Emmanuel’s head, wanting to avenge his sister, Eve. The atmosphere was immediately plunged into chaos once again. “That’s enough. All of you get out!” Just then, Eve stopped the commotion again. This time, she did not get angry but instead asked everyone at the scene to leave. Albeit dissatisfied, Christopher still listened to Eve’s words. After he shot Emmanuel a furious glance, he stormed off the banquet hall with the crowd.
Chapter 134 1 “Fear not, for I am here!” Emmanuel gestured for the women to stay behind him. Additionally, he entrusted his military knife to Beatrix. If anything happened to her, she could still protect herself a little. When the bodyguards opened the door, a fine–looking woman in a black coat and sunglasses entered the building. The mighty aura she exuded was so intimidating that no one dared to stare at her directly. The leader of Wolf Warrior Society, Eve Thompson, had arrived. She reached her destination so fast that Emmanuel and the others didn’t have time to leave. The general manager of Draco City Hotel was standing at the side with the security guards like a child. ST Many paled in fear. “I was beaten up by someone in this hotel! You have to avenge me, Eve!” complained Christopher after rushing toward her. Instead of replying, she turned her sight to the hotel entrance. 3 “This has nothing to do with us! Our people didn’t hit him! We respect Wolf Warrior Society!” The general manager desperately tried to distance the hotel from Emmanuel to avoid trouble. However, Eve wasn’t looking at him. Instead, she was eyeing Emmanuel. Emmanuel exchanged a glance with her before handing the keys to his Maserati to Beatrix. “Take the others home. I’ll deal with this.” The three women were stunned but followed his orders upon witnessing his resolute look. “You’re not leaving that easily!” Christopher attempted to block the women’s path, but he backed off upon noticing Emmanuel’s fierce glare. “Step away, Christopher! Stop embarrassing yourself!” snapped Eve, daunting him. Usually, she didn’t care what he did. However, she couldn’t ignore his act of bullying women in public because it would tarnish Wolf Warrior Society’s reputation. “Let’s speak upstairs,” spat Eve before passing Emmanuel by. The dozens of Wolf Warrior Society members allowed the women to leave but surrounded Emmanuel. It wasn’t until Emmanuel watched the women enter the car that he returned to the hotel.
Chapter 133 In the next moment, Emmanuel carried Beatrix and casually took out the brutes as they surrounded him. It was the first time many people in the crowd personally witnessed a real battle, which excited them. Emmanuel was far more skilled than the thugs and handily took down all hostiles. Upon witnessing Emmanuel’s moves again, Xylie gazed at him with infatuation. Sadly, she wasn’t the female main character of the night. Elizabeth also idolized Emmanuel and couldn’t help but glance at Jonathan. Those scions always think they’re awesome and flaunt their achievements. However, they’re totally unreliable when real trouble knocks on their door. Of course, Jonathan knew the meaning behind her glance and lowered his head in shame. “Just wait! Y–You’re all dead!” Christopher didn’t expect someone in ” Yeringham to have the gall to challenge Wolf Warrior Society. Seeing that his subordinates couldn’t defeat Emmanuel, he left to summon reinforcements. While the thugs had escaped, everyone was still scared. They were aware of how mighty Wolf Warrior Society was. Hence, if Christopher summoned all his men as retaliation, all attendees would be as good as dead. Emmanuel understood why the crowd was paling and suggested, “All of you, leave now! Even if they return here, they’ll only be targeting me!” Realization dawned upon the guests before they scampered away. The banquet was Jonathan’s, and Emmanuel was the one who attacked the thugs, so why shouldn’t they leave? If they escaped at that moment, they wouldn’t be involved any longer. While Jonathan thought it was shameful to escape, he much rather kept his life. So, he skedaddled, too. an Just as everyone was scrambling to leave, Emmanuel saw Elizabeth, Beatrix, and Xylie still in the hall. “Why are you three still here? Do you want to be captured and forced to service those thugs?” If they don’t escape, I can’t protect them when Wolf Warrior Society’s army arrives! “We’ll leave together!” Beatrix gripped Emmanuel’s hand, insisting on staying with him. Elizabeth gritted her teeth. “I’m the cause of this mess. How can I abandon you all and leave?” As for Xylie, she didn’t have a valid reason to stay, so she smiled and said, “I can call the cops.” Emmanuel originally wanted to stick around and learn who was the leader of
Chapter 132 Elizabeth was Beatrix’s best friend, so, of course, the latter would rescue the former. Just as Beatrix was about to do something, a man in a suit rushed into the venue with a few security guards. Upon witnessing the situation, the man in the suit approached Christopher with an ingratiating smile. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Thompson! I’m the general manager of the hotel. Both Ms. Quillen and Ms. Lenoir are my guests. Will you be so kind as to release them? I’ll definitely compensate your losses. Plenty of beautiful women in our hotel are willing to keep you company and quell your rage.” As the general manager of the hotel, he was familiar with a few reputable attendees of the banquet. If anything happened to them, he would definitely be fired, so he had to do his best to settle the issue peacefully. Using that opportunity, Beatrix sent Mackenzie a message asking for help. In her mind, Mackenzie was powerful and wouldn’t be afraid of Wolf Warrior Society. “Get out of my face!” Christopher was already arrogant on a good day. Hence, he was even more outrageous in a drunken state. Kicking the general manager away, he laughed. “Do I look like I lack money? I want the highest–quality woman to spend the night with me!” The more he spoke, the more unhinged he sounded. “Listen up, everyone! I want the men to kneel at the side while the woman line against the wall! Whoever I pick will have to strip naked and service me! Yeah, that’s what’s going to happen! Otherwise, I’ll disfigure the woman and carve the men up!” To enhance his performance, his subordinates unsheathed their blades. The students were terrified by the sight of the weapons and kept their mouths shut. They were all children of affluent families in Yeringham, so they were aware of the influence of Wolf Warrior Society. Many wealthy individuals and government officials were either killed or maimed by them in the past. For that reason, no one in the venue dared to oppose Christopher. “Release Elizabeth!” Beatrix couldn’t stay silent anymore and pushed Christopher away. Christopher was initially enraged. However, his eyes sparkled with excitement when he saw how beautiful Beatrix was. “Well, f*ck me. I didn’t know there was someone prettier here!” Like a savage wolf, he guffawed wretchedly. “Daughters of rich families sure do have tender skins! Tonight, I’m going to strip you all naked!” Some of the men were shamelessly excited when they heard his words. After all, they had fantasized about sleeping with Beatrix and Elizabeth before. Without warning, Christopher pounced toward Beatrix.
Chapter 131 “What a stunning voice!” exclaimed Emmanuel. I have to admit, Xylie’s a better performer than most celebrities. Not only is she captivating, but she’s skilled, too. It’s a shame that this world runs on capital. Just because someone looks good and possesses great skills doesn’t mean they’ll succeed. Out of nowhere, the door was violently kicked open. A drunk man barged into the hall with almost two handfuls of burly, intimidating subordinates. The music stopped, and the atmosphere turned tense. The drunk man pointed at Elizabeth and growled, “How dare you kick me, b*tch! Let’s see where you can run next!” Everyone immediately turned their attention to Elizabeth. Her face was promptly drained of color. Earlier, when she returned from the restroom, she encountered the drunk man. The man kept flirting with her in the corridor and attempted to grab her boob. In a panic, she kicked his crotch and fled back to the hall. She thought the drunk man would back off as many people were in the venue. The last thing she expected was the man barging into the banquet with his buddies. think they’re from Wolf Warrior Society!” Someone in the crowd recognized the intruders. People began whispering with each other about that group of fierce men. Fear and panic crept into the students‘ hearts because Wolf Warrior Society was the largest underground organization in the city. Emmanuel frowned slightly. The term Wolf Warrior held a special meaning for him. Back in Northern Region, he was the leader of Wolf Warrior. If not for his mistake on the battlefield three years ago, he would still be in the same position. However, Wolf Warrior no longer had nothing to do with him. “Fellas, please don’t cause a scene in my banquet.” Jonathan didn’t hear the discussions of the crowd and thought it was an opportunity for him to show off. He was still furious about being humiliated by Emmanuel, so he planned to restore his dignity by defending Elizabeth. It was to show everyone and Beatrix that he was the cool guy and Emmanuel wasn’t.
