After escorting Roselynn to the finest hotel in the Onza’s south district, Emmanuel had originally
nned to head to the arena to gather some information. However, as he stepped out of the hotel
entrance, he coincidentally spotted a grandfather and granddaughter walking ahead.
The grandfather possessed an air of distinction, clearly not an ordinary individual.
The young woman, in her twenties, was not as strikingly beautiful as Mackenzie and Hattie, but she
exuded an elegant and graceful demeanor, unmistakably a refineddy.
As they strolled and conversed, they discussed the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, indicating that
they were also a formidable presence in thepetition.
“By the way, Grandpa, speaking of the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, the Quillen family from
Yeringham is participating this time!”
The granddaughter disyed great enthusiasm for the tournament and spoke with confidence, “The
Quillen family was the former champion of the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown thirty years ago. I
wonder how their strength will fare after thirty years of silence. It’s truly exhrating!”
Emmanuel had not intended to eavesdrop on their conversation and couldn’t help but listen attentively
upon hearing them mention the Quillen family.
“That’s right. I have always been intrigued by the Quillen family from Yeringham. They’re a prestigious
family in Nuthana. I fail toprehend why they only applied to join the Chamber of Commerce this
year!” The old man drawled out his words.
Upon hearing this, Emmanuel couldn’t help but be curious about the old man’s identity. Could he be
someone of importance in the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce?
Unfortunately, the grandfather and granddaughter had exited the hotel and entered a ck luxury car.
Emmanuel was not ustomed to eavesdropping. But as he prepared to make his way to the arena,
he noticed, someone discreetly tailing the grandfather and granddaughter outside the hotel. He didn’t
particrly desire to get involved, but since he was also heading to the arena and happened to be
driving, he decided to follow them from a distance.
As they traversed a suburban road, an unusual stillness enveloped the night.
The granddaughter, being an Onzanian, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of unease. However, by the time
she wanted to alert the old man to turn back and take a different route, it was already toote!
The road ahead had been obstructed by tworge stones as if someone had strategically ced it
there. Behind them, two trucks blocked their retreat after they passed an Intersection.
“Grandpa, something is amiss. It appears that we have fallen into a trap!” the granddaughter eximed
in panic.
The old man’s countenance turned serious, but he remainedposed and didn’t sumb to panic,
having weathered numerous hardships in his life.
“Sir, fear not, I will protect you and the missus!” the driver, a robust and nimble man, spoke up. He
promptly opened the car door and stepped out, prepared to swiftly remove the stones obstructing their
path. For an ordinary person, theserge stones might be immovable, but for a fighter like him, it
wouldn’t be too challenging.
The granddaughter also held great trust in this personal bodyguard. He was a retired fighter and once a
renowned mercenary. So, his strength was beyond question.

However, as soon as he made contact with the colossal stone, hidden weapons suddenly emerged
from all directions.
Due to the darkness of night, these concealed weapons were incredibly swift and difficult to detect!
“Argh!” In an instant, the confident bodyguard, who had imed to protect the old man and
granddaughter, let out a scream of agony!
The next moment, two slender metal wires descended from the sky, tightly constricting his neck. Then,
the burly man couldn’t even utter a sound. Despite his formidable internal strength, he couldn’t break
free from these military-grade metal wires and even severed his own fingers in the process.
Snap! In less than three seconds, his head had detached from his body, and blood sttered onto the
ground.
“Argh!” The horrifying sight terrified the granddaughter, causing her face to turn pale.
“Ang, don’t be afraid! Grandpa is still here!” the old man swiftly reassured his granddaughter.
Being an Onza socialite, the granddaughter swiftly suppressed her inner panic!
She was well aware that being afraid in a situation like this wouldn’t help her. Only by remaining calm
andposed would she and the old man stand a chance at survival!
“Old Mr. Silverbane, we hold you in high regard. Step out of the car and ept your fate! Perhaps we’ll
let you die with dignity!”
At that moment, as the night breeze gently blew and the tree shadows swayed, three figures suddenly
emerged around the vehicle, revealing two men dressed in ck and a woman in a red dress.
All of them were clearly assassins with their faces concealed. One of the men was bald, while the other
had an unusual hairstyle.
