“I understand.”

Yasmine nodded, and they took Emmanuel away.

Emmanuel woke up to find himself lying on a cold, unforgiving stone bed, swathed in

layers of bandages that cocooned his body. His surroundings were dimly lit, and the air

was heavy with an ancient, musty scent. His right hand throbbed with such intensity

that it felt as though it might split open, sending waves of searing pain coursing

through him.

“Awake at last, young sir?” came a gruff voice, as an unseemly figure leaned in, causing

Emmanuel to startle and swiftly straighten himself upright.

But then he exclaimed with fervor, “Blake! Is it truly you? You’ve survived?”

“Haha, I possess the aura of a protagonist; even death dares not claim me,” Blake

remarked with a proud smirk, his confidence shining through like a beacon in the

shadows of uncertainty.

Emmanuel chuckled, “What kind of deranged author would make an ugly guy like you

the protagonist?”

“Oh damn, I saved your life, and you’re dissing me like this? Like the farmer and the

snake!” Blake protested excitedly.

Emmanuel smiled and said, “Thanks.”

“Forget such trifles; gratitude from a man holds no sway over me. Should a woman

express thanks, she might even offer herself as a reward. What do you possess in

comparison? Nothing of consequence,” Blake declared nonchalantly, his gesture

dismissive yet laden with an air of superiority.

The next moment, he watched Emmanuel attempt to stand up.

“Are you crazy?” Blake marveled at his resilience. Just moments ago he was bleeding

heavily, yet now he could walk?

“I don’t have time to lie down. I have important things to do,” Emmanuel patted Blake on

the shoulder with a smile. “It’s great to meet you again.”

“Why should I be impressed?” Blake recoiled swiftly, cautious. “Do not entertain

thoughts of involving me in a rebellion against the Airspace Group. What concern of

mine is it? I am merely present to witness the unfolding spectacle.”

Emmanuel smiled faintly, ignoring Blake as he exited the rudimentary room.

He realized that where he had just laid was a temporary medical station in the central

region, usually used to treat severely injured competitors from the duels.

Emmanuel lifted his gaze abruptly and beheld delicate white snowflakes descending in

a slow, graceful dance from the heavens above, each flakes a fleeting masterpiece in

its own right. Amidst this serene spectacle, his wounds pulsed with an insistent ache,

reminding him of the harsh reality that persisted beneath the tranquil facade of nature’s

beauty.

“Claudette, I’m sorry.”

Emmanuel tightened his fists with determined resolve, holding back the searing agony

that threatened to breach the barriers of his tear ducts.

Since leaving the Northern Territory, this was the first time he had felt such heartache

and helplessness.

He needed strength.

Since withdrawing from his former life, this moment marked the first occasion he had

The mightier the adversary, the greater the potential alliance–if Emmanuel could sway

the Ophanim Clan to stand united against the Airspace Group, they would become an

unparalleled force. Arriving at the southernmost tip of the island, guided by his inner

resolve, Emmanuel found himself unexpectedly greeted by tranquility.

This serene landscape stood in stark contrast to the ominous atmosphere of the

Shadow Clan’s domain he had previously visited, resembling two disparate worlds

drawn from the fabric of existence itself.

Although the territory here was no smaller than that of the Black Wolf Team, the

atmosphere was more oppressive, indicating higher efficiency in everyone’s work.

The atmosphere of a territory reflects the personality of the organization’s leader.

The helm of the Ophanim Clan surely rested upon a figure of robust strength and

pragmatic wisdom, a leader forged in the crucible of trials and tempered by the

inexorable march of time.

As Emmanuel arrived at the Ophanim Clan’s enclave, the clock had struck eight in the

evening, a time when the bustling activities of the day had given way to the orderly

return of the clan’s lower echelons. Their movements were swift and choreographed,

displaying a discipline that surpassed even the renowned efficiency of the Black Wolf

Team.

Emmanuel followed them into the grand edifice of the Ophanim Clan, comparable in

scale to that of the Black Wolf’s but starkly contrasting in architectural style and

ambiance.

Here, an oppressive aura hung heavy in the air, akin to stepping into the lair of an

enigmatic, unseen adversary. Emmanuel’s presence did not go unnoticed; every eye in

the hall turned towards him, their expressions a mix of surprise and hostility.

Some even bared their metaphorical teeth and claws, as if ready to defend their

territory from this unexpected intruder.
