“I wouldn’t dare make up something like that, Mr. Wyatt!” the servant

stammered, drenched in sweat, waving his hands frantically in denial.

Wyatt considered this for a moment, then gave the servant a light push,

sending him away.

Just then, Gwain emerged with a stormy expression, his voice sharp as he

commanded, “Find out who killed one of our top martial servants. This is a

declaration of war against the Lannister family! Find him, and let the war

begin!”

Ever since Eric had gone into seclusion, seemingly vanishing from the world,

Gwain had been responsible for handling the family’s affairs. As the heir

apparent, he had to manage any major incidents affecting the family. With

es, Mr. Gwain! The police are already investigating, and we’ve contacted

several sources. The truth should be uncovered soon,” the servant explained,

keeping his head bowed. But Gwain wasn’t satisfied with “soon.” He wanted

answers now, so he immediately called the police station himself.

“Mr. Gwain, the case is still under investigation,” the lead investigator began.

“However, based on witness statements and a few clues, the evidence points

to one man.”

“Who?” Gwain growled, his voice filled with rage.

“A man named Emmanuel Lowe. According to our findings, Mr. Sheridan had

contact with him just before his death. It appears they had some kind of

confrontation, and Mr. Lowe even took Mr. Sheridan’s fiancee’s necklace.

Witnesses also overheard the killers mentioning someone named ‘Ms.

Roselynn,‘ who is confirmed to be Mr. Lowe’s sister.”

“Him?!” Gwain’s rage momentarily faltered, his initial shock causing his

bloodlust to diminish slightly. Wyatt noticed the change in his expression. But

Gwain quickly regained his anger, clenching his teeth and fists. “Gather the

evidence and prove that it was him. I won’t let him walk away from this alive!”

He hung up the phone, his anger quickly reigniting as he considered the

situation.

Wyatt hesitated but eventually spoke up. “Mr. Gwain, from what I know about

Emmanuel, he doesn’t strike me as the type who would let Hank go only to kill

him later in an ambush. And shouting out something like ‘Ms. Roselynn‘ before

the attack? It doesn’t add up!”

Shut up!” Gwain snapped at him, his voice icy. “That man has insulted me for

too long! Just because I didn’t challenge him last time, he thinks I’m afraid of

him!”

Wyatt wisely held his tongue after that, sensing that Gwain’s emotions were

clouding his judgment. He couldn’t help but feel that pinning the blame on

Emmanuel without a thorough investigation was rash. Gwain, who used to be

more composed, seemed to have lost his cool after the recent series of

events, particularly the growing rivalry and animosity.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel had returned to the large villa he was temporarily

renting. Though the place was nice, it was just a rental. With his sister

Emmanuel usually didn’t need to personally guard him. He left that task to

Sunny and his team, who handled the protection from the shadows.

After being exhausted from recent events, Emmanuel planned to get a good

night’s sleep. However, just as he was settling in, the blare of sirens rang out

from outside the villa.

“What’s going on? This villa is off–limits to unauthorized personnel!” The Wolf

Warrior members stationed outside quickly moved to block the intruders.

Stand aside! I’m Francis Slyfield, head of the Zovince Zone 3 Homicide

Division,” a tall, muscular man with thick eyebrows and sharp eyes barked as

he stepped forward. His commanding presence was hard to ignore. “I’m here

to investigate a possible suspect involved in a murder case tonight!”

Behind him stood a squad of well–equipped officers, all carrying advanced

gear. Their aggressive approach was their standard procedure. Usually, even

the most brazen individuals would surrender at the sight of their holstered

firearms. But that night, it was different.

The guards at the villa immediately raised their guns, their voices cold and

commanding. “Did you not hear me? No unauthorized personnel can enter

this villa. Who dares to trespass?”

They had strict orders to protect Roselynn–nothing, not even a fly, could be

et inside without clearance. Now that Roselynn was still inside, their orders

remained unchanged.

Francis visibly flinched at the sight. His men, however, weren’t intimidated,

drawing their guns in response. In an instant, the atmosphere was charged

with tension, both sides ready to pull the trigger.

Éven though the Wolf Warrior guards were outnumbered, they didn’t show

any sign of weakness.

“How dare you pull guns on us? Who do you work for?” Francis barked, trying

to apply pressure. But the two Wolf Warriors remained unfazed, their stance

unyielding.

“You are obstructing an official investigation. I’ll count to three. If you don’t

wer your weapons, don’t blame us for what happens next!” Francis said,

drawing his gun. Still, the guards stood their ground.

“D*mn it!” Francis cursed under his breath, his men bracing for a showdown. It

had been a long time since they’d faced such resistance.

Just then, Emmanuel and Sage stepped out of the villa.

Seeing the supposed “suspect,” Francis froze in place. His team had assumed

that Emmanuel had ordered the guards to stall while he fled, but here he

was, casually walking out as if he had nothing to fear.

“Captain, this guy’s pretty cocky, huh?” the deputy muttered behind him.

Francis ignored him, his attention entirely on Emmanuel. Someone who could

Kill a high–ranking martial servant from the Lannister family was not an

ordinary person. One misstep here could spell disaster.

Suddenly, Sage reached into the inner pocket of his coat.

“Don’t make any sudden moves, or we will shoot!” Francis yelled, his nerves on

edge. But Sage didn’t stop. He calmly pulled out a small green booklet from

his pocket.

age flipped open the booklet and held it out in front of Francis. His voice was

cold as he asked, “Still planning on shooting?”

Francis blinked several times, his body stiffening as he stared at the

credentials before him. Slowly, his gaze shifted back to Emmanuel, his

expression turning from shock to fear.

“Captain, are you okay?” the deputy asked, worried that Francis might have

been hit by some sort of strange spell, seeing him freeze up like that.

“Lower your guns! Now!” Francis suddenly ordered, his voice sharp and

urgent, his face drenched in sweat. His command left his deputy and the rest

of his team stunned.

“Didn’t you hear me? Lower your weapons!” Francis holstered his gun and

even pushed down his deputy’s hand to make sure his gun was put away.

The other officers finally followed suit, their expressions confused and

shocked as they holstered their weapons. What kind of person was this that

could make their captain panic like this?

“Withdraw!” Francis barked, his forehead now glistening with cold sweat. He

wasn’t even going to continue the investigation.

It wasn’t just because of the respect he held for Emmanuel’s identity–it was

also because he lacked the authority to arrest someone of his stature. To

detain someone like Emmanuel, he would need permission from the highest

government levels. As the head of a local precinct in Zovince, Francis didn’t

have that kind of power. Even if he wanted to make the arrest, he lacked the

ability. If he angered Emmanuel, they could all be wiped out, and no one

would be able to argue on their behalf.

Hold on,” Emmanuel called out just as Francis was about to lead his men

away.

“What did you come here for? Explain yourself before you leave,” Emmanuel

said, his instincts telling him something wasn’t right. Francis may not have

been able to touch him, but he needed to understand the situation to

prevent further complications that could make things worse for him.
