Love at the Wrong Table.

Chapter 2278 Did Emmanuel Do It?

48 Pearls

Gwain had no idea what Gautier was planning, but one thing was clear–Gautier wasn’t his enemy. There was no reason for him to betray him. So, without hesitation, Gwain left after delivering his strike.

Once he was gone, Gautier pulled out a fake golden jad phoenix and placed it in the hands of the dying Master Theron. A smug grin spread across his face before he quickly disappeared into the night with Aora.

Mere moments later, the friars of the Chapel of Oros stormed into the scene.

“Master Theron!”

“Assassins! They’ve killed Master Theron!”

Panic spread like wildfire, and soon, the entire chapel was in an uproar.

Rumors quickly took shape–everyone was convinced that Emmanuel was behind the attack. The reason? A golden jade phoenix was found at the scene, an item many recognized as the one Emmanuel had once gifted Mackenzie.

Word traveled fast. It wasn’t long before the news reached the mountaintop, where the Zen Master was deep in preparation for the next day’s prayer ceremony and his much–anticipated duel with Yorick.

The moment he heard what had happened, he abandoned all thoughts of rest and rushed to see Master Theron’s lifeless body. One look was all it took–this had been a powerful palm strike. The killer knew exactly what they were doing.

“This technique… It’s the Northern Region Dragon–Breaking Palm!”

“It has to be Emmanuel! Look–Master Theron was clutching his belongings when he died!”

“That man is a ruthless killer! He’s slaughtered so many of our people already!”

“Zen Master, you must deliver justice! When Emmanuel arrives tomorrow, he must not leave alive!”

The friars shouted in rage, demanding vengeance.

However, the Zen Master remained silent.

Deep down, he already had his suspicions. This certainly looked like the work of the Northern Region Dragon–Breaking Palm, but something didn’t add up.

This technique wasn’t unfamiliar to him. After all, it had originated from the Chapel of Oros itself.

Over two decades ago, Santiago had escorted Artemis to the chapel to pray. At that time, the abbot personally entrusted him with the Reverse Dragon Palm scripture, believing it would complement his mastery a skill meant to neutralize powerful enemies and defend the nation.

Though Santiago later refined the original twenty–five moves into a shorter seventeen–style Northern Region Dragon–Breaking Palm, the essence remained the same.

Still, the damage would have been far greater if this had been a true Dragon–Breaking Palm strike. The entire ground beneath Master Theron should have shattered. Instead, only his internal organs had been crushed.
