Love at the Wrong Table

Chapter 2284 The Fearless 5–Star Honored Battle General

At the base of Divine Mountain, the Imperial Guardians stood frozen in disbelief.

A convoy of armored vehicles, artillery trucks, and rugged off–road cars had rolled in like a thunderstorm, breaking Zovince’s usual order.

They wondered, Who has the power to bring such firepowe here?

“Stop right there! Identify yourselves!”

Weapons were raised, tension thick in the air.

Emery Zelinsky, the commander of the Imperial Guardians, stepped forward.

As a distant relative of the Zelinsky family and one of Ezra’s most trusted men, he had been personally tasked with securing this checkpoint.

Yet, as Emery’s gaze landed on the lead vehicle, his heart skipped a beat.

A sharp–looking man sat in the driver’s seat. Beside him was a woman who radiated elegance and quiet strength.

“Emmanuel? Ms. Quillen?!” Emery’s voice rang out in disbelief.

Ezra’s orders were absolute–Emmanuel must not reach the summit. If he insisted on going up, he had only two options–either die here or turn back. If he somehow managed to push through, he would have to do it alone, without reinforcements or firepower.

Now, not only had Emmanuel arrived, but he had come fully armed.

He wasn’t sneaking in. He was forcing his way through.

Emery didn’t hesitate.

Click! Click! Click!

Hundreds of guns snapped into position, aimed directly at the convoy.

Still perched atop one of the artillery trucks, Shane blew a low whistle. “Whew. That escalated fast.”

Watching through a live video call, Frederick hissed, “Hey, don’t even breathe wrong, alright?”

He thought to himself, If this guy hits the button before Emmanuel gives the order, it won’t be a joke. One wrong move and this will turn into a bloodbath.

Despite the guns pointed at him, Emmanuel didn’t flinch.

He stepped forward, shielding Mackenzie beside him.

“Yes, it’s us.” His voice carried undeniable authority.

Emery’s expression turned cold. “The prayer ceremony has begun. Divine Mountain is sealed off. No one goes up.”

Emmanuel’s gaze stayed steady. “If I insist?”

Emery’s fingers curled into fists. “Then you’ll be stopped. One way or another.

Most men would back down, but Emmanuel wasn’t most men.

His voice turned sharp, unwavering. “I have confirmed intelligence that an assassination attempt is underway against Mr. Hale. As a 5–Star Battle General Chanaca, I am proceeding up the mountain to secure his safety.”

His tone grew colder. “I don’t care who gave the orders o block me. If you stand in my way, if you let Mr. Hale die because you refused to act, you are not just failing your duty–you are betraying Chanaea.”
