Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1716
Especially those two lower–class members who initially wanted to bully Emmanuel felt a mix of emotions.
“Not only that! I will unite all factions and overthrow the current ruling order. I will make sure those who want to leave this island
can do so!”
When Emmanuel finished speaking, everyone around him gasped in astonishment. What bold words! Where did he find such
courage?!
“Yes!”
“We support you!”
“You must win! I want to leave! I want to get away from this hellhole!”
Indeed, Emmanuel’s rallying cry resonated with the crowd. As one person responded, more and more joined in.
The Black Wolf region hadn’t been this lively in a long time. Even when they won the championship last year, the people didn’t
have the same light in their eyes. They all longed for freedom.
“Quell, it seems the new leader is indeed special.” TriSec, hearing the commotion outside, couldn’t help but feel a bit excited. “I
really want to go out and watch for three seconds.”
Quell scoffed and turned away, “Anyone can talk big. He still has to prove he can do it!”
TriSec laughed. Having pursued this woman for six years, he knew her sharp tongue well. If she hadn’t had some expectations
for the new leader, she wouldn’t have agreed to give him the position.
“We’re heading out now! You must believe! Believe in the power of belief!”
Emmanuel continued to boost everyone’s morale, employing the same tactics he used when leading troops in the Northern
Region. Morale was crucial for any army. At this moment, he was the general of the Black Wolf Team, and the over one thousand
people were his soldiers.
“The new leader is truly remarkable!” The Black Wolf Team members following

Emmanuel couldn’t help but discuss excitedly. Even Vachon was increasingly impressed with him. This man is different from any
other leader in the Dark Night Islands. He has an immense energy that others lack, he mused.
Leaving the Black Wolf region, the Black Wolf Team representatives headed south to the center of the island. Passing through
various territories, they found the other factions lifeless. Even the powerful Frost and Flame Alliance had only a couple dozen
people rallying, and the occasional cheers were only for the top warriors‘ benefits.
The stark contrast highlighted the differences, making Vachon realize how much higher the new leader’s level was compared to
others. Perhaps he truly is a miraculous figure like Mr. Xarri!
Upon reaching the central region, they entered an open–air martial arena,
Undoubtedly, in terms of luxury and size, it couldn’t compare to the Badlands
Arena, but the stone–built arena exuded an ancient aura. The dried bloodstains everywhere added a heavy and suffocating
sense of dread.
Entering this place made one’s body tense up instinctively as if stepping into a hellish battlefield.
“Emmanuel!” Sunny and Quintus energetically waved at Emmanuel as soon as they saw him.
The Black Wolf Team representatives were surprised. Since when had their new leader become so close with the Solar Group?!
Regardless, the two groups sat together, ready to watch the matches.
At the same time, Yasmine approached Mackenzie in the Ivory Tower.
“Your Holiness,” Yasmine greeted respectfully. “Did you create these rules to help Emmanuel lead the fifty–plus factions of the
Dark Night Islands in rebellion?”
Mackenzie’s heart raced, but she maintained a calm facade. “Ms. Morgan,1 don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Your Holiness, you might not know, but Emmanuel has already made his intentions public. He is truly bold.” Yasmine didn’t play
coy, directly informing Mackenzie of the situation.
Mackenzie felt a mix of tension and excitement inside, though her face remained expressionless. She had always known
Emmanuel would do this.

This was a do–or–die war. He would fight for her, their child, and Claudette with everything he had.
“What, are you afraid?” Mackenzie taunted. “The rules are out. Do you plan to change them?”
“No! Freya doesn’t intend to change the rules. She only added a few minor adjustments.”
