Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1704 The Leader of the Black Wolf Team
“Nothing but trickery! Now, freeze over!”
“Stop this trickery! Freeze for me!” Quell shouted, waving her hands as she controlled the vast snowstorm with her internal
strength, directing it all towards Emmanuel, who instinctively dodged.
The spectacular offense and defense made everyone forget to breathe.
In the next moment, Emmanuel bent low and sidestepped, directly evading the wind and snow, arriving at Quell’s side.
Quell was secretly shocked but remained calm, swinging her cloak to strike Emmanuel.
Emmanuel pulled with his right hand, displaying great momentum, but unexpectedly failed to pull Quell toward him.
Vachon had already noticed the issue: Emmanuel’s right arm was severely injured, unable to exert force. Otherwise, he could’ve
at least made Quell lose her balance.
In the next moment, Quell thrust her two fingers forward, gathering the snow into a sword between her fingertips. Emmanuel also
swung with his left hand, using his reach and posture advantage to neutralize the lack of a weapon.
Both pointed at each other’s throats almost simultaneously.
“Ah!” Aqua gasped, covering her eyes, unable to continue watching.
The others were also tense, momentarily forgetting to breathe.
It was a tie!
Both stopped their moves at the last moment, or the result would have been mutual destruction.
“Hmph!” Quell suddenly withdrew her hand, turning her back to Emmanuel.
The surrounding members of the Black Wolf Team also breathed a sigh of relief. With Xarri not around, Emmanuel and Quell
were the highest combat strength of the Black Wolf Team. Losing either one would be devastating for the team.
“Quell, what do we do now? Even if I spend another three seconds thinking, I can’t figure out who won!” TriSec asked excitedly,
but in reality, he already had an answer.

Vachon coldly snorted, not saying a word, but his expression added pressure to Quell, who appeared aloof and proud, still facing
away from Emmanuel.
“Newcomer, your name is Emmanuel, right?”
“That’s right!” Emmanuel nodded.
“Why do you want to be the leader of the Black Wolf Team?” Quell questioned.
“I must reach the pinnacle of the Dark Night Islands,” Emmanuel replied firmly, sending a slight shiver through everyone present..
Even Vachon and Quell’didn’t have the confidence to say such words. Though proud, they also knew that within the Dark Night
Islands, besides Xarri, there were several “monsters” whom other Black Wolf Team members couldn’t possibly rival. Quell’s
desire to lead was merely to bear Xarri’s responsibilities and ensure the team’s survival on the islands.
“What’s the point for an outsider like you to reach the top of the Dark Night Islands?” Quell continued contemptuously.
“I came to this island to save people! Now, not only them but all of you are whom I want to save!” Emmanuel naturally expressed
his grand goal. “I want to reach the top, unite all forces on the Dark Night Islands, and overthrow Airspace Group’s reign,
restoring everyone’s freedom!”
His words were thunderous to the seven people present, leaving them all dumbfounded.
“Please help me!” Emmanuel suddenly became serious, earnestly requesting,
“I need your strength, the support of all of the Black Wolf Team! I need the strength of everyone on this island who shares the
same ideals! I must achieve this goal!”
Each word shook the hearts of the seven. Even Quell couldn’t help but turn around and scrutinize Emmanuel’s gaze.
This man is just like Mr. Xarri!
They were like the sun, their light illuminating everything while she was the cold snow. No matter how powerful, she could never
bring anyone warmth.
“Mr. Emmanuel, I’ll help you! I will definitely help you!” Ironskull was the first to agree, even addressing Emmanuel respectfully.
Emmanuel had saved his life, and now his life belonged to Emmanuel.

Everyone was surprised by Ironskull’s stance. Even Vachon found it hard to believe. Ironskull had been his follower for many
years, but he had never seen such loyalty in his eyes and demeanor.
“And me! Mr. Emmanuel, if you don’t mind my weak strength, I will follow your to the death!” Ostrich exclaimed.
“Count me in, too!” Aqua quickly added.
Vachon burst into laughter. “Hahaha... Interesting! Emmanuel, no! Boss, since I lost to you, from now on, I’ll only recognize you
as the leader of the Black Wolf Team!”
