Love At The Wrong Table

Chapter 1696 Standoff at the Tower 

Chapter 1696 

Emmanuel let out a sigh of relief, and his worry about Mackenzie being 

deceived by Hattie faded away. 

33% 

But based on Hattie’s behavior, combined with the information provided by 

Yasmine Morgan, he still wanted to trust her! 

“You all went to great lengths to bring me here, just to groom me into the 

King of Assassins and help you accomplish the mission of assassinating the 

head of state?” Emmanuel ventured a bold guess after a moment of silence. 

“Exactly!” Yasmine’s expression changed as well, and her eyes filled with 

admiration and anticipation. “If we could recruit the former Northern Region 

Wolf under our banner, and further enhance your abilities through different 

special means, I believe there would be no one in the world you couldn’t kill, 

right?” 

“That’s ridiculous. Do you think I would agree to that?” Emmanuel chuckled.

At the same time, curiosity arose in his mind. What are those special means 

Yasmine mentioned? Could it be turning myself into a modified human? 

“Why not?” Yasmine replied confidently, “Don’t you love Ms. Quillen very 

much? She’s the Saintess leading the Holy Fire organization. If you assist her 

in seizing power over the world, you two will become the rulers of this world, 

the divine couple. Wouldn’t you be willing?” 

Any couple in the world would find it hard to resist when facing such a great 

temptation! 

Emmanuel paused. He chuckled dismissively, and didn’t feel like answering at 

that moment. 

But eventually, he spoke up, “Mackenzie would never become some kind of 

Saintess! You can’t fool her, either. She’s too smart. She knows very well that 

the Saintess would just be a puppet working for you!” 

“No!” Yasmine remarked firmly, “The Saintess is not a puppet, but the soul of 

the Holy Fire organization! She is the highest leader in reputation! Even the

Great Saint King would have to respect Her Holiness!” 

“I would never trust you!” Emmanuel scoffed directly and then spoke 

seriously, “I won’t agree to any of your demands. I’m here to take Mackenzie 

away!” 

Yasmine’s stance was equally resolute. “No! If you don’t agree to our 

demands, you won’t be able to take her away at all. You won’t even get a 

chance to see her!” 

Emmanuel suddenly burst into action with lightning speed, unleashing the 

Dragon Capture Technique on Yasmine.

Yasmine was shocked and taken aback. She never expected that Emmanuel 

would dare to make a move here. 

While her strength was indeed formidable, to the point where even Blake 

wouldn’t dare to claim to be more powerful than her. However, 

underestimating the situation, she unexpectedly fell into Emmanuel’s grasp 

with a single move!

“Release Ms. Morgan immediately! Otherwise, you’ll be turned to nothing but 

bones!” the so–called fighters shouted out. 

They looked even more grim–faced! 

They each claimed to be top–notch fighters, dominating wherever they went. 

With so many guarding Yasmine, they were all stunned that Emmanuel had 

captured her single–handedly. 

If this incident spreads, it will be ashamed for life. They won’t dare to boast of 

themselves fighters ever again! 

“If any of you dare to make a move, I’ll kill her!” Emmanuel threatened loudly 

with his face showing no fear. 

The group of fighters were wary of harming Yasmine. They didn’t dare to 

make any rash moves but simply watched. 

“Emmanuel, the more you show your exceptional strength, the less likely we’ll 

let you go! The Airspace Group must have you, and your child with the

Saintess! He will surely be a martial arts prodigy like no other!” Yasmine 

wasn’t afraid of Emmanuel killing her at all. In fact, her gaze burned with 

intensity as she proactively increased the pressure.

Emmanuel tightly gripped her throat, knowing that a little more préssure 

would send her to her grave! Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Take me to see Mackenzie right now, or I’ll kill you!” 

Emmanuel exuded a murderous aura, his black hair flying, and eyes 

gleaming with red light. 

The surrounding fighters were all frightened and trembling. Who was this 

man? How could he exude such a ferocious aura? 

Despite this, Yasmin remained resolute. “Emmanuel, you’ve miscalculated! 

I’m just an advisor to the Airspace Group, and my life is inconsequential. Even 

if you intend to kill me, I won’t allow you to meet the Saintess unless you 

agree to join and become one of us!”

Emmanuel’s murderous intent grew stronger and stronger, while Yasmine’s 

complexion turned paler and paler, teetering on the brink of death! 

In the end, Emmanuel released her. 

He could tell that even if this woman died, she would never let him go up to 

the top floor of the tower to meet Mackenzie. 

The fighters instantly rushed forward, intending to kill this disrespectful 

person who dared to threaten Ms. Morgan. 

“Cough… Stop!” Yasmine narrowly escaped death but quickly halted the 

fighters who intended to strike Emmanue
