Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 2167 Time for the Fourth Whip

It’s time to deliver the fourth whip to you

In Zovince. Emmanuel frowned as he suddenly received this cryptic message from Sage.

“What’s Sage up to? He doesn’t answer his phone but sends me such a bizarre message?”

Emmanuel’s sharp mind immediately deduced that this message wasn’t sent by Sage himself.

That could only mean… Sage’s communication device has been seized by someone.

Who could be that formidable?

Could it be…

Emmanuel’s eyes widened in realization as a terrifying thought crossed his mind.

Given that Towerineis located in the West End of Chanaea, could it be that she has encountered Sage by chance?

That would be too coincidental.

Commander Lowe!”

At that moment, Albin hurriedly entered the room.

“Speak.”

“Alright, Commander Lowe.”

Albin stood at attention and reported meticulously, “The representative from Shoiya has arrived in Chanaea. You are requested to immediately join Mr. Hale to ensure his safety at all times.”

“Understood.”

Emmanuel knew this was a high–level mission personally assigned by Santiago. Even though he was severely injured, he had no choice but to endure and carry it out.

“Commander Lowe, there’s another piece of news,” Albin added cautiously.

“Go on.”

Emmanuel, not quite accustomed to Albin’s meticulous demeanor, missed the smoother communication. he had with Sage.

“Alright.”

Albin saluted again before continuing, “Originally, Yorick was scheduled to face Florus Admon of the Eight Supremes tomorrow. Rumor has it that she ranks second among them in strength. However, since she left Zovince two days ago, Yorick has also departed, seemingly in pursuit of her.”

“What?”

This was anything but good news for Emmanuel.

His prior investigations revealed Florus Admon’s deep es to ‘Teddy. Leaving Zovince at this critical moment most likely meant she was heading to West ErI.

Based on his deductions, the Dark Red Shadow Felicity described was likely her.

If Yorick intended to challenge the entire martial arts world of Chanaca, his arrival in West End could pose

a threat to Emmanuel’s child or, at the very least, complicate Sage’s efforts to retrieve the child.

At this moment, Emmanuel deeply wished he could abandon his responsibilities in Zovince and rush to West End to rescue his son.

However, two major obstacles stood in his way.

First, his severe injuries rendered him incapable of facing Yorick, let alone the Eight Supremes.

Second, national duties took precedence. Shoiya’s representative had arrived to negotiate critical state affairs, and their aggressive demeanor required Ethan’s safety to be uncompromised to maintain a firm stance in the talks.

For now, Emmanuel could only rely on his comrades in the Wolf Warrior–and perhaps even pray for that woman’s assistance.

Elsewhere, Gautier and Florus Admon had ventured deep into the mountains.

“I never expected anyone to live in these remote forests” Gautier remarked, marveling at the dense wilderness.

West End was notorious for bandit activity, and these untouched forests seemed like a perfect haven for outlaws. With lush greenery, an abundance of fruits, and ample water sources, the area had immense potential as a scenic tourist spot in a more developed region.

Florus Admon, holding Caden, remained silent.

Despite her age, her unparalleled cultivation had slowed her aging, leaving her with a youthful appearance. Her lack of marriage or motherhood didn’t diminish her natural maternal instincts, and she found herself doting on the adorable child.

Watching from the side, Gautier couldn’t help but smile. The scene reminded him of a scene from a drama.

Suddenly, cold laughter echoed from ahead. “Haha! This path is mine, this tree is my doing. To pass through here, leave a toll behind.”

“Men to the left, women to the right–up against the wall. This is a robbery!”

A gang of mountain bandits armed with a variety of weapons surrounded them.

Anyone else might have panicked, but Gautier remained calm.

The bandits‘ well–organized appearance suggested they had been lying in wait.

“Did Mr. Willy’s sister–in–law instruct you to ambush us here?” Gautier asked knowingly.

The leader, a bearded man who appeared younger than his scruffy visage suggested, froze briefly, “Who are you?”

His reaction confirmed Gautier’s suspicions. Smiling faintly, he said, “We’re allies of Mr. Willy’s sister–in-

law.*

“Why should we believe you?”

The leader’s sneer betrayed the truth–Jeff had indeed orchestrated their ambush.

Gautier chuckled inwardly. The infamous Ken, a traitor within Mackenzie’s ranks, clearly had ties to these bandits.

It was the first time Gautier came to West End, but he had been keeping an eye on the situation long ago. He had heard about the previous incidents where the rich businessmen of Silvergate were attacked by bandits, which suggested that there was a traitor.

He never expected the traitor to be the head of West End. It seemed that Ken had been gaining profits.

Surprisingly, Mackenzie was able to head to the headquarters of the Five Poison Sect, forcing them to kidnap her child to threaten her to retreat.

“Believe me or not, Mr. Willy’s sister–in–law was left behind at the foot of the mountain. We need your help to delay the Wolf Warrior for two days,” Gautier declared.

“Hah! Why should we listen to you? Who do you think you are?”

The bandits erupted into laughter, their loyalty tied solely to two alliances–the Five Poison Sect and the leader of West End.

“Allow me to introduce myself,” Gautier said with a sly grin. “I’m Gautier Verkade. As for why you should listen-”

Before finishing, he lunged at the leader with lightning speed.

The leader froze. He hadn’t expected Gautier to be so ruthless when he looked so gentle.

“Boss!”

As the other bandits reacted, Gautier grabbed the leader’s throat.

“Don’t move, or I’ll kill him!” Gautier shouted.

Florus Admon admired Gautier’s cunning–beneath his refined exterior lay the ferocity of a wolf.

Nevertheless, some bandits, indifferent to their leader’s fate, attempted a sneak attack.

After all, there were still some of them who wanted their leader dead and to take his place.

Gautier did not expect the sneak attack. He was in a daze.

Unfazed, Florus Admon’s red sleeves flicked, unleashing a volley of steel needles. noveldrama

Everything fell silent. The would–be attackers fell silent standing lifeless with faces pierced by needles.

With another flick of her sleeve, their heads toppled, painting the ground crimson,

There was no other word for it.
