on the matter.

It was clear that today’s setup had been orchestrated behind the scenes. Everyone in Zovince who mattered–and even those who didn’t- had shown up. Even someone like Chiara couldn’t possibly have the influence or connections to pull this off alone.

Emmanuel suspected that this was another trap laid by Teddy’s faction.

At this point, if Veronica decided to stand firmly by his side, the consequences could be catastrophic. It might shake the very foundation of the Chapman family and possibly lead to their downfall.

Emmanuel understood her hesitation and was determined not to drag the Chapman family into trouble because of him.

“How arrogant!” barked Charles Hickman, the high–ranking official from the Military Affairs Bureau, taking the lead in fanning the flames. “Does this man think his troops can just march in today? Does he

think we’re so easy to bully?”

His words emboldened the crowd, sparking a wave of restlessness among them.

With Charles keeping an eye on things and this being the Chapman Estate in Zone 2–not some public entertainment venue–there was no way any military force could intervene. Unless the Chapman family was willing to stake everything on protecting Emmanuel, it was impossible for him to summon any reinforcements.

On the other hand, those who had gathered here under the guise of attending a marriage proposal had already set up their own forces. Inside and out, several hundred people had been deployed, most of them skilled fighters. Among them was Birch, one of the Eight Supreme Grandmasters of Zovince, along with martial arts experts from the Lannister family.

Chiara herself was a formidable presence. Even though Gwain hadn’t come in person, Wyatt and other fighters from the Lannister family were already in position, prepared for action.

Then there was Clive, who pointed directly at Emmanuel and shouted furiously, “Emmanuel, you killed my nephew Hank! There’s no way we’re letting this go. Today, the Lannister family will avenge his death!”

Emmanuel couldn’t help but laugh at Clive’s shamelessness. “Haha… I’m not the one who killed Hank. But if you’re all so eager to settle scores with me, then come on! Stop wasting time with all this empty chatter!”

He had no patience for their nonsense, nor any interest in trying to wake those who were willfully blind to

Some of these people had indeed come for vengeance, but the vast majority were here for their own
