Chapter 488


    Instead of answering Adolph, Emmanuel turned to look at Felix.


    Felix didn’t want to fight to the death with Emmanuel. In fact, Emmanuel, too,


    didn’t want to fight Felix. He wasn’t confident that he would win!


    “Emmanuel, this way, please!


    Felix extended his hand toward Emmanuel.


    It seemed that it was inevitable for a fierce battle to ensue.


    The bodyguards gradually left the room.


    Laura led Adolph to their seats, and their servants even served them drinks


    and snacks. It was as if they were watching a performance.

    “Manuel, you have to win!” Elizabeth could only whisper as she didn’t dare to


    say it out loud.


    “Ha! I’m afraid it’ll be hard for that to happen!”


    Elizabeth thought that a mountain had moved to her side when she heard


    those words. As expected, she saw that it was Quintus when she raised her


    chin and looked.


    “Felix is considered one of the top experts in Yeringham. I used to spar with


    him a lot when I was younger, but I never won a single match. Not only that, I


    was taught a harsh lesson!” Quintus boasted with genuine admiration.


    Quintus had always thought of himself as someone who stood above all.


    However, he acknowledged that two people were stronger than him–his


    father and Felix.


    Upon hearing his elder brother’s words, Elizabeth became even more


    nervous. Her palms were wet with cold sweat, and she felt like she was in an


    ice cer.


    “Since that’s the case, please proceed!”


    Emmanuel knew that there was no point in saying more since this battle was


    inevitable. Resolving a grudge throughbat was an oue he was


    willing to ept.


    When Felix took a step forward, the entire front courtyard seemed to revolve


    around him as a noticeable vortex appeared.


    Fearing an embarrassing situation, Elizabeth quickly pressed her skirt down


    with her hands when she felt it being lifted by the wind. At the same time, she


    marveled at the fact that martial arts experts like them existed.


    She had known Felix for many years and heard of his prowess, but she never


    imagined that the first time she would see him in a duel was when he was


    fighting against the man both she and her sister fancied!


    She felt awful having to watch this.


    In the next moment, Emmanuel also assumed abat stance, one that


    was much more low–key than Felix. There was no vortex or shy disy, just


    a steady horse stance and clenched fists.


    Spectators only saw the surface, while experts saw the essence.


    upon seeing the contrasting stances between Emmanuel and Felix, almost


    everyone in the audience concluded that Felix was the sure winner. Not only


    that, it would be apletely one–sided fight and an effortless victory for


    Felix.


    Felix was the only one who knew that his opponent should not be


    underestimated. Emmanuel’s stance was simple, yet it gave off an


    unmatchable aura.


    He knew that if he attacked with his feet, Emmanuel would block it with his


    forearms. If he attacked with his arms, he would be at a disadvantage due to


    his shorter reach.


    In that instant, Felix felt a sense of helplessness as he was unsure of how to


    approach Emmanuel.


    And so, the two of them stood facing each other for several minutes, neither


    making the first move.


    Seeing this, Adolph finally spoke up. “Felix, you should enjoy your retirement


    life if you can’t win the fight.”


    Felix sighed helplessly and reluctantly stomped the ground with one foot,


    leaving a deep footprint.


    He then soared into the air like a graceful crane, and as hended a foot on


    Emmanuel’s head, his leg suddenly split into seven legs.


    Emmanuel only felt the abrupt darkening of the sky above him as a gust of


    wind whipped past his face.


    “Impressive skills!” Quintus couldn’t help but marvel.


    A faint smile yed on Laura’s lips. She didn’t really want to see Emmanuel


    die, but given the circumstances, she could only hope for Felix’s victory.


    Emmanuel indeed had a strong masculine appeal, and he was her type in


    terms of appearance. However, it was a fact that he chose to marry into the


    Lenoir family instead of the Quillen family.


    She only had two words–such a pity!


    Oh, that’s three words, she corrected herself.


    The onlookers around them were also amazed by Felix, thinking that he


    deserved his title as the top master in Yeringham.
