Emmanuel remained silent, his gaze fixed on Gautier for a long moment
before a faint smirk appeared on his lips. “So, you escorted Old Mr. Quillen
back today just to meet your end? I honestly can’t see what you stand to
gain from this.”
Ultimately, everyone has an agenda driven by what they stand to gain; only
a fool would act without considering their own interests.
Gautier gestured to his chest and confessed, “For me, the true reward is this-
my conscience.”
“Conscience?” Emmanuel’s expression remained indifferent as he retorted
frostily.
Hubert watched his boss with an unshakable grin, deriving endless
satisfaction from the disy. It was a source of joy far greater than anything
he could have achieved himself.
“Absolutely–it’s all about my conscience!” Gautier proimed.

He exhaled deeply and continued, “The reason I turned against Hattie was
my affection for Mackenzie. Despite the betrayal, she chose to ce her trust
in me and saved the Verkade family. I owe her a debt of gratitude that I can
never repay. Believe it or not, supporting the Verkade family has always been
my true intention. Given my father’s alliance with traitors and his heinous
acts, my only aim now is to atone for the wrongs done by my family!”
Emmanuel’s eyes remained locked on Gautier, his gaze intense and filled
with deadly resolve.
Terence finally broke the silence “Emmanuel, this matter has nothing to do
with Gautier. Don’t put him in a difficult position.” I understand Emmanuel’s
anger, but this isn’t the right course. There’s no evidence linking Gautier to the
Quillen family’s tragedy. If Emmanuel turns on him despite his help, it will be
seen as a betrayal. That would mark him as a ruthless tyrant, losing the trust
and support of his peoplepletely!
When Emmanuel saw Terence pleading for Gautier, he offered a faint,
knowing smile. <b>With </b>deliberate calm, <b>he </b>handed the gun back to Terence and

likely knew who was, including those who greedily took their wealth through
business schemes. Go now and make them pay.”
At hismand, those in the banquet hall copsed to the floor, their heads
hitting the ground as they cried out for mercy.
“Emmanuel, please show us mercy! We were driven to this!”
“Yes! I will return all that we took from the Quillen family!”
“Please, don’t kill me!” he pleaded. “I’ll return all the Quillen family’s assets and
also give away all my own wealth if you spare my life!”
Each person seemed more humbled than thest, with every kowtow more
desperate than the one before. When faced with death, all other concerns
fade into insignificance. In the end, even great piles of gold mean nothing.
Though some might question Emmanuel’s resolve to end the lives of all
present, none could doubt his determination. To them, he appeared as a
relentless force of vengeance, a spirit of unyielding retribution.

“Now that you are afraid, what gave you the courage to greedily devour the
Quillen family’s wealth while Old Mr. Quillen and Mackenzie were away?”
His words struck fear into their hearts, their cries echoing through the hall as if
mourning a great loss. Gautier, gripping his gun firmly, moved steadily
toward the quaking crowd.
“Hold on a moment!”
As Gautier was about to lift his gun, Emmanuel’s authoritativemand
halted him.
“Since they are willing to return the Quillen family’s belongings, give them a
chance. However, if any assets remain unreturned by midnight tonight, you
will handle them personally on my behalf.”
Otherwise, I’ll ensure that you and your entire family face a grim fate!”
Gautier met his steely gaze and gave a silent nod of acknowledgment.

Those who had been begging and bowing felt a sudden sense of relist,
though their fear and trembling caused some to wet their pants. In their
orderly city, they had never witnessed such unrestrained violence. To them,
Emmanuel appeared topletely disregard thew and showed no fear of
the chaos his actions might unleash.
“Grandpa, it’s time for us to leave, Mackenzie is waiting for you!”
With the harsh taskpleted, he guided Terence away, his menacing
demeanor fading as if a mask had been lifted, revealing a gentler side.
“Yes, Mackenzle is probably about to give birth soon.”
“Indeed, she is about to give birth any day now.”
Emmanuel nodded, a rare warmth touching his featuros.
“That’s such wonderful news! I’m eager to witness the birth of my
great–grandchild. It will be something special to share with your mother
when I meet her!”
