Chapter 2154 Nathan Steps Up

Even though Emmanuel hadn't seen Veronica stop Nathan, the fact

silent spoke volumes. He already understood where Veronica stood the Chapman family remained

on the matter.

It was clear that today’s setup had been orchestrated behind the scenes. Everyone in Zovince who mattered-and

even those who didn’t- had shown up. Even someone like Chiara couldn't possibly have the influence or

connections to pull this off alone.

Emmanuel suspected that this was another trap laid by Teddy's faction.

At this point, if Veronica decided to stand firmly by his side, the consequences could be catastrophic. It might

shake the very foundation of the Chapman family and possibly lead to their downfall.

Emmanuel understood her hesitation and was determined not to drag the Chapman family into trouble because

of him.

“How arrogant!” barked Charles Hickman, the high-ranking official from the Military Affairs Bureau, taking the

lead in fanning the flames. “Does this man think his troops can just march in today? Does he

think we're so easy to bully?”

His words emboldened the crowd, sparking a wave of restlessness among them.

With Charles keeping an eye on things and this being the Chapman Estate in Zone 2-not spublic

entertainment venue-there was no way any military force could intervene. Unless the Chapman family was

willing to stake everything on protecting Emmanuel, it was impossible for him to summon any reinforcements.

On the other hand, those who had gathered here under the guise of attending a marriage proposal had already

set up their own forces. Inside and out, several hundred people had been deployed, most of them skilled

fighters. Among them was Birch, one of the Eight SuprGrandmasters of Zovince, along with martial arts

experts from the Lannister family.

Chiara herself was a formidable presence. Even though Gwain hadn’t cin person, Wyatt and other fighters

from the Lannister family were already in position, prepared for action.

Then there was Clive, who pointed directly at Emmanuel and shouted furiously, “Emmanuel, you killed my

nephew Hank! There's no way we're letting this go. Today, the Lannister family will avenge his death!”

Emmanuel couldn't help but laugh at Clive’s shamelessness. “Haha... I'm not the one who killed Hank. But if

you're all so eager to settle scores with me, then con! Stop wasting twith all this empty chatter!”

He had no patience for their nonsense, nor any interest in trying to wake those who were willfully blind to

reason.

Sof these people had indeed cfor vengeance, but the vast majority were here for their own

interests.

It was clear they didn’t support Ethan becoming the nation’s president, and they all understood that to eliminate

Ethan, they first had to get rid of Emmanuel.

“Well, Mr. Lowe, since you're so bold and fearless, I'll give you your due respect as a real man!”

Finished

To everyone's surprise, it was Chiara a woman-whoepped forward first. With a steady gaze, she issued her

challenge.

“Today, I'll avenge my late husband Maxwell. If my skills fall short and | die at your hands, | won't complain or

blanyone else.”

Her words caused an uproar among the crowd.

The influence of one of the Four Beauties was undeniable, and now she had raised the stakes to a life-and- death

duel. A woman had already stepped forward-how could the men possibly stand idly by?

“What a cunning woman,” Veronica muttered under her breath, her eyes narrowing.

She saw through Chiara’s ploy instantly. This was all a performance, a deliberate act to ignite the fighting spirit

of everyone present.

Otherwise, they would all hesitate. Emmanuel’s strength was well known, and anyone who attacked first would

likely suffer the greatest loss. Everyone understood that Emmanuel was doomed today, but no one wanted to be

the sacrificial lamb..

Hearing this, Ashton gritted her teeth, stepped forward and shouted, “Chiara, Emmanuel has no interest in

fighting women. If you want to pick a fight with him, you'll have to get throughfirst!”

Her bold declaration sent the blood pulsing through Nathan's veins.

If even Ashton could stand up for Emmanuel, how could he-Emmanuel’s eldest disciple-stay silent? His master

was being surrounded and attacked in the Chapman Estate. If he didn’t act, how could he face anyone

afterward? How could he call himself a man?

But Veronica, noticing his intentions, stopped him with a firm hand.

This wasn’t a small matter. They couldn't risk offending half of Chanaea’s elites over Emmanuel. The Chapman

family’s fate wasn’t something to gamble with.

“Ha! Is this a showdown between the ex-girlfriend and the wife?” Sbystanders, eager to fan the flames,

chuckled as they egged on the confrontation.

After all, with a bloodbath inevitable today, the opening act was bound to set the tone.

“Fine! Since you're so determined, I'll take you down first to avenge my husband!”

Without a moment's hesitation, Chiara sprang into action, launching a fierce assault on Ashton!

Just as Veronica had predicted, Chiara wanted to initiate today’s “wolf-slaughtering show,” but she was also

cautious. If Emmanuel, unbound by chivalry, injured her, it would ruin her plans. Now that Ashton, this reckless

woman, had stepped forward, Chiara seized the opportunity to bully her husband's ex while avoiding direct

confrontation with Emmanuel.

Her moves were precise and elegant, flowing like a dance yet deadly in their intent.

Ashton, though much improved over the past year and boasting an A+ Rank, was no match for Chiara. Within

moments, she was on the defensive.

Smack!

Thud

Chiara landed two slaps and a swift kick, sending Ashton staggering. Blood trickled from the corner of her lips,

but her gaze remained unyielding, blazing with defiance.

“Good!”

“That's the way!

“Take down Emmanuel’s defenders first, then him! Avenge our loved ones!”

The crowd erupted in cheers as Ashton endured the one-sided beating.

Nathan, unable to bear the sight any longer, ignored Veronica's attempts to stop him and leaped into the fray.

“Nath!” Veronica's voice carried a note of panic.

But before she could intervene, several of her younger sisters crowded around her.

Audrey grinned mischievously. “Veronica, it's rare for Nath to stand up for a woman. Let him be a man for

once!”

“Exactly! He's in his twenties now. You can’t keep treating him like a child forever,” another chimed in.

Faced with their playful coaxing, Veronica could only sigh and watch how things unfolded.

Xylie, watching the scene, felt a sense of relief. It seemed Nathan had finally found someone he cared for.

Emmanuel, who had initially planned to step in to help Ashton, paused upon seeing Nathan enter the fight.

To his delight, his eldest disciple had made remarkable progress. Just a year ago, Nathan was weaker than

Ashton. But now, his skills and cultivation level had clearly surpassed hers.

Together, the two joined forces, managing to hold their own against Chiara in a back-and-forth battle that kept

the crowd riveted.

“Ms. Veronica, are you planning to make an enemy of the Zelinsky family? Of all the great powers of

Zovince?”

Seeing that Chiara was gradually being overwhelmed by the combined efforts of Nathan and Ashton, Birch

immediately tried to pressure Veronica.

It was clear they dared not act rashly against Nathan. After all, he was the heir to the wealthiest family, the

future richest man in Chanaea.

“Master Arnold, you're overstating things,” Veronica replied with a sly smile. “It’s just a friendly sparring match

among youngsters. No need to make it sound so grave, right?”
