Chapter 2157 I Didn’t Want to Lose

Hearing Ashton’s urgent warning, Emmanuel whipped around instantly.

Finished

Birch, one of the esteemed Eight Supreme Grandinasters of Zovince, actually hesitated, abandoning his sneak attack in favor of lashing out at Ashton instead!

“You ignorant brat! How dare you spout such nonsense and tarnish my reputation!” he shouted.

Having failed in his underhanded attempt, he now sought to preserve his dignity by playing the righteous man. If he couldn’t erase the humiliation, he would silence the one who dared to accuse him!

Refusing to admit his sneak attack, he instead aimed to eliminate the woman who had “falsely accused” him.

“Ashton!”

Now it was Emmanuel’s turn to worry. How could Ashton, with her limited abilities, possibly face one of the Eight Supreme Grandmasters of Zovince?

Ashton knew this all too well. To her, a martial arts enthusiast, the Eight Supreme Grandmasters of Zovince were people whom she could only look up to. The only person she had ever admired more was Sage, her instructor.

Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that one of those revered figures would personally strike at

her–and with such lethal intent!

At that moment, a wry smile spread across her face as she resigned herself to her fate. She stood still, awaiting the inevitable, much like a helpless kitten cornered by a ferocious tiger, resigned to the end.

And yet, just as death loomed near, a sound like a dragon’s roar erupted by her ear.

Roar!

Emmanuel unleashed his Dragon Capture Technique, forcefully pulling Birch away.

Birch’s face twisted in shock. Could such a miraculous skill truly exist?

Ashton was equally stunned. Surrounded by enemies and under relentless assault, Emmanuel still had the strength to save her?

Bolstered by his intervention, even a little kitten like her found the will to struggle. With death staring her down, she twisted her body just in time to avoid Birch’s hammer–like fist.

Boom!

Birch’s punch missed, slamming into the ground behind Ashton with devastating force. The impact shattered the earth, sending jagged stones flying. Though she dodged the brunt of the attack, Ashton lost her balance and stumbled, her body bruised by the debris. She was badly injured,

“Birch!” Emmanuel roared, pointing a finger at him in righteous fury. “You, one of the Eight Supreme Grandmasters of Zovince, a man with a sterling reputation! Failing a sneak attack, you now stoop to killing a woman? What kind of man are you?”
