Chapter 1408 Plea for Help
The impostors exhaled a quiet sigh of relief, grateful that they hadn’t provoked a confrontation with
Emmanuel earlier; otherwise, they might have been the ones lying on the ground now.

Emmanuel also had no time to deal with them at the moment. He swiftly followed Ang into an
exclusive room.
“Mr. Lowe, we hope you can assist the Onza Silverbane family once again!”
Upon seeing Emmanuel, Stanley promptly rose to his feet and made his request, leaving the onlookers
stunned.
Stanley was the president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce, a position of immense prestige. In
Nuthana, there was almost nobody who could match him. Yet, here he was, bowing to solicit
assistance from a rtively unknown young man. The juxtaposition was nothing short of shocking.
Emmanuel grasped the essence of their request but still asked for rity. “Old Mr. Silverbane, please
state your request inly.”
“Alright!”
Stanley didn’t beat around the bush. He exined, “The Onza Silverbane family must secure a victory
tonight. Failure would spell disaster not only for us but for the entire Nuthana Chamber of Commerce.”
“Oh?”
Emmanuel simply responded, appearing as though he did not fullyprehend the situation.
Stanley then borated, “Mr. Lowe, you may not know, but the Eshal Silverbane family has always
coveted the presidency. However, my eldest son, ze, and his family are ambitious and even
unscrupulous. If they were to seed, the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce would undoubtedly
descend into corruption, ensnared in the darkness of greed and deceit like the other major chambers of
commerce.”
Emmanuel nodded in understanding. “So, you are nning to pass the presidency to the Onza
Silverbane family?”
“Exactly!”
Stanley, despite enduring a myriad of trials and tribtions, now couldn’t conceal a hint of anxiety in his
eyes. “Apart from wealth and power, it’s strength that garners genuine recognition from the chamber of
commerce. Reputation, in fact, rests upon these three pirs.
“The foundation of the Onza Silverbane family is not as strong as that of the Eshal Silverbane family. If
we were defeated tonight, ze and his family may pressure me into relinquishing the presidency to
them.”
Emmanuel nodded, empathizing with Stanley’s predicament. He could roughly gauge the caliber of the
Eshal Silverbane family from ze Silverbane’s behavior.
Yet he still inquired, “Old Mr. Silverbane, you’re asking me to represent the Onza Silverbane family and
secure victory tonight?”
“Exactly!”
Ang interjected, “Mr. Lowe, don’t you also want to save Beatrix? If you assist the Onza Silverbane
family in winning the championship tonight, she will regain her freedom, isn’t it?”
“I wish for that.” Emmanuel got straight to the point. “However, rules govern this world. Personal valor
often leads to trouble. As a participant representing the Quillen family, I cannot represent your family.”
Anticipating his response, Ang’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. Rather than addressing how he
could resolve the issue directly, she dismissed everyone else in the room, leaving only the three of
them.
With a smile, Ang proposed, “Mr. Lowe, you’re right to be concerned. Rules govern this world, and
heroism is no longer in vogue. Even the national leaders must be elected through various legal
procedures to obtain corresponding power. So tonight, let’s exploit the loopholes in the rules together!”

procedures to obtain corresponding power. So tonight, let’s exploit the loopholes in the rules together!”
“Ms. Silverbane, what do you mean by that?” Emmanuel inquired, furrowing his brow.
Tonight, his sole mission here was to rescue Beatrix, and he had been pondering various strategies to
achieve that goal. Initially, he had pinned his hopes on Shane’s prowess, believing he had a chance to
win the championship. However, witnessing the victory of the skinny challenger who defeated Johnwick
moments ago made him realize he could no longer rely on Shane.
However, participating in thepetition would inevitably impact the Quillen family and should only be
considered as ast resort. Therefore, if Ang coulde up with a solution that effectively
addressed two concerns at once, he would dly
cooperate.
Handing him a badgebeled “Onza Silverbane,” Ang exined with a smile, “This badge
represents a privilege that the rules grant to prominent families like ours. If we have fewer than two
qualifiers, we are entitled to appoint an additional expert for the free-for-all tournament. With this
badge, you can represent the Onza Silverbane family in battle at any time tonight.”
Emmanuel was slightly surprised. While he was aware of the privilege granted to prominent families,
Ang’s decision to do so still caught him off guard.
