Emmanuel remained silent, his gaze fixed on Gautier for a long moment

before a faint smirk appeared on his lips. “So, you escorted Old Mr. Quillen

back today just to meet your end? I honestly can’t see what you stand to

gain from this.”

Ultimately, everyone has an agenda driven by what they stand to gain; only

a fool would act without considering their own interests.

Gautier gestured to his chest and confessed, “For me, the true reward is this-

my conscience.”

“Conscience?” Emmanuel’s expression remained indifferent as he retorted

frostily.

Hubert watched his boss with an unshakable grin, deriving endless

satisfaction from the display. It was a source of joy far greater than anything

he could have achieved himself.

“Absolutely–it’s all about my conscience!” Gautier proclaimed.

He exhaled deeply and continued, “The reason I turned against Hattie was

my affection for Mackenzie. Despite the betrayal, she chose to place her trust

in me and saved the Verkade family. I owe her a debt of gratitude that I can

never repay. Believe it or not, supporting the Verkade family has always been

my true intention. Given my father’s alliance with traitors and his heinous

acts, my only aim now is to atone for the wrongs done by my family!”

Emmanuel’s eyes remained locked on Gautier, his gaze intense and filled

with deadly resolve.

Terence finally broke the silence “Emmanuel, this matter has nothing to do

with Gautier. Don’t put him in a difficult position.” I understand Emmanuel’s

anger, but this isn’t the right course. There’s no evidence linking Gautier to the

Quillen family’s tragedy. If Emmanuel turns on him despite his help, it will be

seen as a betrayal. That would mark him as a ruthless tyrant, losing the trust

and support of his people completely!

When Emmanuel saw Terence pleading for Gautier, he offered a faint,

knowing smile. With deliberate calm, he handed the gun back to Terence and

likely knew who was, including those who greedily took their wealth through

business schemes. Go now and make them pay.”

At his command, those in the banquet hall collapsed to the floor, their heads

hitting the ground as they cried out for mercy.

“Emmanuel, please show us mercy! We were driven to this!”

“Yes! I will return all that we took from the Quillen family!”

“Please, don’t kill me!” he pleaded. “I’ll return all the Quillen family’s assets and

also give away all my own wealth if you spare my life!”

Each person seemed more humbled than the last, with every kowtow more

desperate than the one before. When faced with death, all other concerns

fade into insignificance. In the end, even great piles of gold mean nothing.

Though some might question Emmanuel’s resolve to end the lives of all

present, none could doubt his determination. To them, he appeared as a

relentless force of vengeance, a spirit of unyielding retribution.

“Now that you are afraid, what gave you the courage to greedily devour the

Quillen family’s wealth while Old Mr. Quillen and Mackenzie were away?”

His words struck fear into their hearts, their cries echoing through the hall as if

mourning a great loss. Gautier, gripping his gun firmly, moved steadily

toward the quaking crowd.

“Hold on a moment!”

As Gautier was about to lift his gun, Emmanuel’s authoritative command

halted him.

“Since they are willing to return the Quillen family’s belongings, give them a

chance. However, if any assets remain unreturned by midnight tonight, you

will handle them personally on my behalf.”

Otherwise, I’ll ensure that you and your entire family face a grim fate!”

Gautier met his steely gaze and gave a silent nod of acknowledgment.

Those who had been begging and bowing felt a sudden sense of relist,

though their fear and trembling caused some to wet their pants. In their

orderly city, they had never witnessed such unrestrained violence. To them,

Emmanuel appeared to completely disregard the law and showed no fear of

the chaos his actions might unleash.

“Grandpa, it’s time for us to leave, Mackenzie is waiting for you!”

With the harsh task completed, he guided Terence away, his menacing

demeanor fading as if a mask had been lifted, revealing a gentler side.

“Yes, Mackenzle is probably about to give birth soon.”

“Indeed, she is about to give birth any day now.”

Emmanuel nodded, a rare warmth touching his featuros.

“That’s such wonderful news! I’m eager to witness the birth of my

great–grandchild. It will be something special to share with your mother

when I meet her!”
