Chapter 2250 The Five Sages

“You swore not to kill me, Emmanuel!”

Gautier’s voice was steady, but there was a flicker of unease in his eyes. He wasn’t afraid-he knew Emmanuel

kept his word.

Emmanuel smirked. “I did. What's your next move?”

Gautier straightened, still holding onto Teddy. “Teddy might be down, but he’s still my master. It's my duty to

protect him.”

A scoff left Emmanuel’s lips. “Cut the crap. You're not here to save Teddy. You're after the Chamber of Commerce

seal, aren't you?”

Before Gautier could deny it, Emmanuel struck. A low, guttural roar rippled through the air as he activated the

Dragon Capture Technique.

Gautier’s grip tightened on instinct, but it was pointless. Crack!

The seal crumbled in his hands, reduced to dust before Emmanuel could even touch it.

Irritation flickered across Emmanuel’s face. He hadn't expected Gautier’s strength to be this sharp and

strong.

“Looks like Teddy put a lot into training you. Pity you turned on him anyway,” Emmanuel muttered in disguise.

Teddy, barely conscious, let out a shallow breath. His expression was unreadable. “Gautier... | don’t bl-you.

Just promiseone thing-avenge me.”

Gautier didn’t answer.

If he were sentimental, those words might've stirred something in him. Yet, he knew Teddy too well-this was just

another manipulation tactic.

Emmanuel’s lips curled into a mocking smirk. “You don’t need to justify yourself. To me, you're just telling

another story”

Keeping his composure, Gautier straightened up. “Well, I've played my part. I'm leaving.”

“Did | say you could?” Emmanuel’s voice had a razor-sharp edge.

Gautier tensed, his jaw tightening. “You gaveyour word. Are you backing out now?”

“I keep my promises.” The words had barely left Emmanuel’s lips before he moved.

A blast of heat filled the air-the third move of the Northern Region's Reverse Dragon Palm.

Gautier, he didn’t hesitate.

With a single motion, he poured all his power into the attack, letting the full force of his signature technique

explode toward Gautier.

Finished

Gautier barely had a moment to react before a crushing force struck his left leg. The sheer impact sent a gust of

wind whipping through his hair, distorting his face as the pressure bore down on him.

Crack! A choked groan escaped Gautier as he sank to one knee. He hesitated to look-he could sense the injury

already. His leg felt off. Inadequate.

Emmanuel noticed, his keen eyes spotting the slight movement. Clever. Gautier fell quickly enough to reduce the

full impact of the strike. Otherwise, his leg wouldn't merely be hurt-it would be lost.

Commander Lowe is remarkably powerful! Aurora sucked in a sharp breath. She hadn't expected that.

Emmanuel stared down at him. “I never said | wouldn't break you. You can go now.”

Gautier clenched his teeth, forcing himself upright. He grabbed a fallen branch for support, grit replacing pride.

Then, without another word, he turned and limped away, fading into the darkness.

Emmanuel turned his attention back to Teddy.

The old man lay sprawled on the ground, broken but not beaten. Blood smeared his lips, yet his eyes still burned

with arrogance. He coughed, a weak chuckle slipping out. “I regret it, Emmanuel. | should've killed you years

ago. Letting you live... just turned you into my greatest threat.”

Emmanuel shrugged. “Your mistake.”

He didn’t dignify the words with further response. In the end, none of it mattered. He had won.

Teddy smirked. “You may havenow, but you can’t kill me. Because if you do, the consequences will be bigger

than you can handle.”

“Oh? Still clinging to your games, even now?” Emmanuel stepped closer, towering over Teddy. His voice was

laced with amusement, but his gaze remained cold. “Have you misjudged me? Or did you really think there's

anything | wouldn't dare to do?”

Despite his battered body, Teddy's arrogance remained unshaken. He sneered, his voice hoarse yet steady.

“Emmanuel, I'll give you that-you’re bolder than before. But if you knew who I really am, you wouldn't dare lay a

finger on me. Kill me, and you'll be facing consequences far beyond your control.”

Emmanuel tilted his head slightly, studying him. “Is that so? Then go on; enlighten me. You've got three

minutes.”

Teddy scoffed. “Do you even know why | climbed to the top? Why did the Tanner Family becone of the Big

Four in Chanaea?”

“Why?” Emmanuel asked, indulging him with a fleeting moment of courtesy.

Teddy replied, “It's because | have a master. A force backingthat you can’t even begin to comprehend.”

Emmanuel’s eyes sharpened with intrigue. He could tell this force wasn’t the Holy Trinity. “So, you're saying I'm

just an ordinary man because | haven't crossed paths with them?”

Teddy's smirk deepened. “Exactly. You were the Northern Region Wolf, but you were just a pawn at the end

of the day. Even now, standing here after defeating me, you're only winning because the tides temporarily favor

you. But real power? True control? That's beyond you.”

Emmanuel’s gaze darkened. His fists clenched at his sides. “Then tell me-who’s pulling the strings? Is this the

sforce behind the border war five years ago?”

Teddy's smirk stretched wider. “That's right. Since you've returned from Dark Night Island, you must've heard

whispers about the Three Gods and Seven Saints. My master? He's one of those Three Gods. And me? | rank

among the Five Sages under him.”

Emmanuel’'s gaze sharpened. “The Five Sages?”

For the first time, hesitation flickered across his face. Is Teddy being honest, or is this just another desperate

attempt to save himself?

Teddy continued, “We-the Five Sages-each of us controls a domain. Together, we surpass the Holy Trinity.”

He leaned forward slightly, ignoring the pain shooting through his body. “If you strikedown, you won't just be

signing your own death warrant. You'll be inviting chaos on a scale you can’t control. This won't just be your

burden, Emmanuel. It'll fall on your wife, brothers, soldiers-everyone who stands with you. Are you ready for that

kind of war?”

Emmanuel didn’t question the weight of Teddy's words. His voice was steady but sharp. “Who is your master?

From your conversation, it doesn’t sound like the Five Sages are exactly united. Am | wrong?”

Teddy let out a dry chuckle, shaking his head. “Ha! Emmanuel, you're not even worthy of knowing my master’s

name.” His tone dripped with mockery, and any trace of earlier panic had vanished entirely from his gaze.
