As soon as Santiago finished speaking, he grabbed the staff from the ground
and, with a powerful “Dragon Ssh,” pierced straight through the wall. The
force of his strike was so intense that it didn’t just break the wall of Peach
Blossom House–it also left gaping holes in the walls of several neighboring
houses.
“Oh, sh*t!” Santiago realized he’d gotten carried away and jumped up,
snatching the Silver Dragon Spear before making a run for it. As he dashed
off, he shouted, “Emmanuel, cover for me! Consider it a favor to your old
master! I’m out of here!”
Emmanuel stood speechless.
Sure enough, momentster, the angry voices of the vige women could be
heard shouting from nearby.
“Santiago, was that you again?”

Hearing the scolding, Emmanuel shook his head in speechlessness.
Fortunately, he wasn’t short on money. Sigh, I guess I’m paying my way out of

Mackenzie was still by Alessandra and Sarah’s graves, quietly speaking to the
departed. When she saw Emmanuel returning, she greeted him with a
radiant smile.
“Manny, I heard from Mackenzie that you’re heading to Eldoria. Mind taking
me with you?” Shane eagerly asked.
“What’s the matter? You’re not staying in Yeringham to chase after Ms. Beatrix
anymore?” Emmanuel teased with a knowing grin.

a sea of fish out there? Who knows, maybe my true love’s waiting out there!”
Shane replied, ever the pragmatist.
He had read in a dating guide that if one couldn’t win a girl over in three
months, it was probably a lost cause. He’d been chasing Beatrix for much
longer than that, and with no sign of her reciprocating his feelings, it was time
to move on.
Emmanuel chuckled, then turned to Frederick. “What about you?”
“Me? I’ll stay in Yeringham. The Quillen family is rebuilding, and Ms. Quillen just
gave birth. I’m sure Ms. Beatrix has a lot of pressure at work, so I’ll do my best

Unlike Shane, Frederick wasn’t one to give up easily. Even though he was
already 30 and his family was pressuring him to settle down, he wasn’t willing
to abandon his feelings. For him, love wasn’t about tactics orpatibility–it

“Alright, let’s head back Emmanuel said, respecting their choices as they
prepared to leave.
Back at the base, Beatrix was surprised to hear that Shane was leaving with
Emmanuel to resoue Roselynn. After all, Shane had been persistently hanging
around her, and now that he was suddenly giving up, she couldn’t help but wonder if her charm had faded.
“Shane, are you really leaving me? Beatrix asked, wanting to hear it straight
from him.
“Yeah,” Shane responded, his spirits lifting when Beatrix addressed him

you curious if the person I like is you?”
Shane’s head snapped back up in surprise. “Wait, are you saying… the person
you like is me?”
“Nope!” Beatrix shook her head again.
Shane stood there, speechless. The others could barely hold back their
“Well… I guess I’ll be going now,” Shane sighed, turning to leave once more. But
Beatrix followed after him, teasing again. “Don’t you want to know if I was lying
to you just now?”

knew it-”
“Nope!” Before he could finish, Beatrix shook her head yet again.
