Chapter 656
Emmanuel was rather surprised, but he wasn’t caught off guard.
If Magnus was so easily deceived, he wouldn’t be called ‘Magnus the Genius‘
by the Great Minds of Chanaea.
Emmanuel quickly raised his hand. “Deputy General Hawthorne, I’m only
forced to do this because Magnus wants to kill Claudette! If you are loyal to
General Lenoir and Mrs. Lenoir, you should let me take her away!”
“Bullsh*t!” Reginald didn’t believe him at all and roared, “Everyone knows Mr.
Magnus loves Ms. Lenoir! He’s the most loyal knight to Princess Claudette. It’s
you who wants to forcibly take Ms. Lenoir away when you’ve failed to win her
heart! How dare you make false accusations here, you coward?! Release Ms.
Lenoir immediately, or I’ll make you pay!”
Emmanuel knew immediately there was no reasoning with the general
anymore. However, it wasn’t wise either to forcefully break through with
Claudette still unconscious in his arms. If anything were to go wrong, the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyoung woman could die at any moment.
Retreat! Emmanuel decided at once. Alas, he found his escape route blocked
when he turned around.
“I’m so sorry, Dr. Lowe. I didn’t expect Magnus to be so formidable. He actually
outsmarted us…” A voice came from behind.
The Lenoir family guards opened up a path, and Laura sashayed over,
wearing a helpless and aggrieved expression.
“Madam Verkade, did you plot against me?!”
At this point, Emmanuel couldn’t help but suspect that Laura had set him up.
“How can you say that, Dr. Lowe? That’s hurtful. Claudette’s my daughter. Even
if I want to harm you, I could never harm her, could I?”
Laura was a sly fox, and her words had no flaws. Even Emmanuel couldn’t
immediately tell whether she was telling the truth or not, but that didn’t
matter anymore–the fact was that he was now surrounded.
“Release Ms. Lenoir now!” Reginald pulled a gun out from his waist and aimed
it at Emmanuel’s head. “If anything happens to Ms. Lenoir, you’ll be the
murderer!”
Emmanuel chuckled, amused. At the same time, he also felt a profound
sensation toward Magnus‘ terror. That said, as the former Wolf Warrior, he
wasn’t so easily defeated. If it’s a fight they want, it’s a fight they’ll get!
Just as Emmanuel was about to forcefully break through, the Lenoir family
guards next to Laura were suddenly thrown into the air.
“Ah!”
A gigantic figure knocked down all the guards around Laura in two shakes.
“M–Mr. Lenoir!”
Reginald became panicked, for the person who arrived was none other than
the scion of the Lenoir family, Quintus.
“Emmanuel, take my sister away now! I’ll hold them off for you!” Quintus
exuded an aura of hostility, completely different from his usual self. After not
seeing him for a few days, he was now sporting a scruffy face. It seemed that
this holiday hadn’t been kind to him.
“Alright!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmmanuel didn’t have time to inquire about the situation with Quintus. The
pressing matter at hand was to take Claudette away. He could find out about
everything else later.
“Hmph, don’t think you can escape so easily!”
Reginald raised his gun and was about to pull the trigger, but Quintus stood
before him like a mountain.
“Have you gone mad, Mr. Lenoir?!” Reginald exclaimed. “Emmanuel Lowe is
our enemy. He wants to kill Ms. Lenoir!”
Quintus, however, smirked and forcefully grabbed Reginald’s wrist, exuding
an overwhelming presence as he said, “Pfft, you’re just a spy planted by the
Zelinsky family. How dare you regard yourself as one of us?! I reign over this
family! I’m the one who has the final say here!”
Boom!
With that, Quintus threw Reginald away, and the latter fiercely crashed
through the wooden wall.
The room fell silent for a moment, with no sound to be heard.
