A Journey to Hero’s Village

“That seems to be the case,” Sage continued. “We tracked their spending

records, and Ashton made a purchase in Eldoria three days ago. It’s highly

likely the three of them were together.”

“A transaction three days ago, but now they’ve gone silent?” Emmanuel

couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

“It’s said that the Ancient Woods are vast and dangerous, full of complex

terrain,” Sage speculated. “Many who enter never come out alive. Judging by

their spending patterns, it’s highly likely they ventured into the woods.”

Emmanuel sighed quietly, trusting Sage’s analysis. He immediately issued

orders, “Send word to the Blade Battalion to move to Eldoria tomorrow. The

other two battalions will remain stationed in Yeringham to protect the Quillen

family. We can’t afford any mishaps!”

“Understood, sir!” Sage promptly went to make the necessary arrangements.

The Quillen family catastrophe had only been possible through the

collaboration between William and the higher powers, which was

meticulously planned over time. But now, the Verkade family had been

eliminated, and the remnants were being purged. With the Wolf Warrior Unit

officially formed and ready to strike at any moment, even if someone like

Teddy tried to stage another attack, success was impossible.

“Roselynn, please, don’t let anything happen to you,” Emmanuel whispered to

himself, hoping his sister was safe.

The day before his departure, Emmanuel discussed plans with Mackenzie,

telling her he wanted to bury Sarah’s body in Hero’s Village, next to his

mother, and pay his respects.

They both knew Sarah’s dying wish was to marry Emmanuel. Although he

couldn’t fulfill that wish, Emmanuel understood that Sarah didn’t want to be

buried in the Quillen family’s cemetery–she wanted to rest with the Lowe

family.

“Let me go with you, Emmanuel!” Mackenzie insisted.

“Mackenzie, you just gave birth. You need to rest.”

“It’ll be fine. It wasn’t a C–section, and some mothers can already get out of

bed after a day’s rest. Besides, with you by my side, what’s there to worry

about?” she said, her resolve unwavering.

Emmanuel relented, and together with their newborn son, they made the

journey to Hero’s Village.

After a few hours of driving, they arrived and laid Sarah’s body to rest beside

Alessandra’s grave.

As Emmanuel placed the headstone inscribed with “Sarah Quillen,

Sister–in–Law” onto the ground, his eyes reddened. “I’m sorry I failed you in

this life. But your energy now flows within me, so you will live on in my heart

forever.”

Mackenzie added sincerely, “Thank you for giving Emmanuel to me. I promise

to take good care of him.”

Mon,

A Journey to Hero’s Village

Behind them, Frederick and Shane wept openly. They had once believed the

world to be peaceful and beautiful, but now, it felt so cruel and tragic. Too

many lives have been lost recently.

“Manny, Master said to find him at Peach Blossom House once you’ve finished

paying your respects. He has something important to tell you,” Shane said as

soon as Emmanuel stood up.

Emmanuel nodded, then knelt once more at his mother’s grave. “Mom,

Mackenzie has given birth to a child for the Lowe family. Our bloodline

continues. You can rest in peace now.”

After paying his respects, Mackenzie stayed behind to speak quietly to the

departed while Emmanuel made his way to Peach Blossom House to find

Santiago.

As he approached the house, the scent of alcohol hit him, accompanied by the sound of a spear being swung. He heard the whistle of the weapon cutting through the air, strong enough to make the peach blossoms shudder. Emmanuel hurried inside and saw Santiago drenched in sweat, practicing

intensely.

In his memories, Santiago was always a naturally gifted fighter; he had never

seen him train so hard. The signs around the yard suggested that Santiago

had been practicing like this for days.

“Master!” Emmanuel called out.

Santiago’s sharp gaze locked onto him, but instead of stopping, he hurled his

spear directly at Emmanuel, the weapon slicing through the air like a silver

bullet.

Emmanuel’s heart skipped a beat. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The spear moved like a silver dragon, too fast and too powerful. Emmanuel

had no choice but to use his Eight Trigrams Rotating Hand Technique,

spinning and retreating until he had no room left. Only then did he manage

to catch the spear, though his hands tingled from the impact.

Santiago’s strength was truly astounding.

“Ha! My prized disciple is as sharp as ever!” Santiago grinned, casually

flipping a long staff from the ground into his hands. With a quick motion, he

launched into a “Dragon Splash,” the staff thrusting toward Emmanuel with

blinding speed.
