Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1705 True Freedom
Aurora, who had the weakest relationship with Emmanuel, also agreed. “In that case, I shall also recognize you as our leader.”
TriSec was trembling slightly, the blood in his veins inexplicably boiling. He seemingly felt the energy emanating from Emmanuel,
something Quell didn’t possess.
“Quell, what about you? Do you still need another three seconds to think?” Aqua asked excitedly.
“Hmph!” Quell curled her thin lips. “Emmanuel, the position of the Black Wolf Team leader is yours. But to completely impress
me, the power you showed tonight is far from enough!” With that, the proud woman turned and left.
“TriSec, what about you?” Aqua squealed excitedly,
Everyone knew that Quell had already agreed to let Emmanuel be the leader.
“After three seconds of careful consideration, I agree that Emmanuel should be the leader, but I’ll still follow Quell’s orders!”
TriSec grinned mischievously.
Everyone knew he had been a loyal follower of Quell for about six years, so his response was not surprising.
“Emmanuel, from now on, you’re our leader!” Aqua excitedly rushed to Emmanuel, smiling brightly. “I believe that with you here,
our team will remain the kings of Dark Night Islands!”
Ironskull and Ostrich also joined Aqua, circling their new leader.
Vachon walked over and said, “Let’s not stay here. Mr. Emmanuel, you should take everyone back to the building and heal your
wounds quickly. You’ll be leading us into battle in the future!”
He could see that Emmanuel’s right side was severely injured. Even so, Quell still couldn’t defeat him. The potential of this new
leader was indeed something to look forward to.
“Alright! Let’s all head back and get out of this wind and snow!” Emmanuel said.
“Boss‘ orders, let’s go back!” Aqua, Ironskull, and Ostrich called out happily.

Emmanuel smiled. The people of the Black Wolf Team were warm–hearted, even the icy Quell. Evidently, their previous leader,
Xarri, must’ve been an extraordinary person.
“Mr. Emmanuel, how are your injuries?” Back in the room, Aqua brought Emmanuel a basin of hot water, concerned about his
condition.
Emmanuel took off his shirt, revealing bloody wounds, but still smiled at her.
“It’s nothing, don’t worry! Do we have any medicinal herbs here in the Black Wolf Team?”
Aqua felt a pang of sympathy for him and quickly replied, “Yes, I’ll go get them right away!”
“Okay.” Emmanuel nodded, starting to clean his wounds with a hot towel.
Aqua glanced back, unable to help herself from rushing over, tears streaming down her face. “Mr. Emmanuel, let me help you
clean your wounds!”
Emmanusi was puzzled. “Why are you crying?”
Tears streamed down Aqua’s cheeks like a never–ending waterfall as she said, “Mr. Emmanuel, I see so many scars on your
body. You must have been seriously injured many times before to protect your comrades and family. It makes my heart ache!”
Emmanuel was amused. He wiped her tears away and reassured her, “I’m fine. Go get the medicine.”
“I’ll clean your wounds first,” Aqua insisted.
Bathing facilities here were not as convenient as outside. Emmanuel couldn’t reach his back properly and had to let her help. But
soon, Aqua brought another basin of hot water and started to undress his pants.
“What are you doing, Aqua?!” Emmanuel quickly held onto his pants.
“Taking care of you, of course, Mr. Emmanuel.”
“No need!” Emmanuel immediately refused, saying seriously, “Did Mr. Xarri also let you serve him like this?”
Fortunately, Aqua shook her head but added, “Mr. Xarri didn’t, but other leaders in different factions have many women serving
them!”

“I don’t need that either!” Emmanuel said sternly. “Aqua, the outside world is about freedom and equality. No one is anyone’s
slave, and sisters don’t bathe their brothers! I promise you, I will liberate this island and give you true freedom!”
Hearing that, Aqua cried even harder.
The next day, the sun shone on Dark Night Islands for once, and the snow on the ground began melting.
A grand ceremonial team lined both sides of the gate to the Ivory Tower.
