Love At The Wrong Table

The High Stakes of Freedom and the Lo

As the price for his failure, Victor had to relinquish

80%

his position as the family head and hand over three

of the Lannister family’s legendary manuals to his

younger brother.

One was the Parallel Palm.

Another was the Big Dipper.

And the third was the Dragon Tome.

However, Victor only handed over two of the

manuals and claimed that the Dragon Tome was

lost.

In a fit of rage, Eric, together with other branches of

the Lannister family, sought to eradicate Victor’s

The High Stakes of Freedom and the Lo

faction completely.

The once mighty Victor fell, and his son and

daughter were also hunted down, as people

suspected he had given the last manual to his

children.

Had it not been for Freya intervening and rescuing

the siblings, Xarri and Quell would certainly have

been killed by their own family members!

“I remember!” Xarri said, nodding seriously. “I’ll

never forget how you saved our lives!”

“Then why are you now joining forces with those

rebels against me?” Freya demanded, her anger

rising as she slammed her fist on the armrest of her

chair, causing her purple robe to flutter with her

fury.

Even so, Xarri continued to nod.

“Why?”

Freya was puzzled. “I went to great lengths to make

you the top assassin. With your talent and physical

prowess, you were perfectly suited for the role. All Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

you had to do was sincerely agree to serve me,

and I could have preserved your will and granted

you endless honor and wealth! Why refuse? Why

choose to become a prisoner instead?”

“That’s because…” Xarri paused and then bitterly

smiled. “Like Emmanuel, I crave freedom! Without

freedom, everything is just a mirage.”

“Heh…” Freya sneered. She truly couldn’t understand

the importance of freedom, so she couldn’t grasp

these two men’s choices.

“So, what are you here for now?”

After her sneer, she fixed her gaze on Xarri.

“I’m here to ask you to let us go. If you agree, I’ll help

you with one task free of charge, no matter what it

is!” Xarri said earnestly, but Freya’s only response

was another cold laugh.

Her smile was tinged with disdain; she hadn’t

expected the former leader of the Black Wolf Team

and the undisputed king of Dark Night Islands to

make such a ridiculous request!

Xarri sighed, already knowing Freya’s response.

“From your expression, I guess you already know

the answer, don’t you?” Freya said coldly.

Freya asked coldly.

Xarri nodded.

“Do you have anything else to say?”

She asked again, her gaze growing increasingly

wary and aggressive.

“Yes!” He said seriously. “I’d like to request a few

pointers from you!”

She smiled silently, her beautiful eyes reflecting

wisdom. “Trying to exhaust my stamina to help

Emmanuel?”

Xarri nodded. Acknowledging that he couldn’t

deceive her, he didn’t see the need to lie.

“Advice is fine. But I’ll warn you in advance, you

might leave here with your life in jeopardy!”

Freya spoke frankly. “Since you’ve chosen to side

with the enemy of the Airspace Group, I’ll have no

choice but to eliminate you!”

Xarri sighed deeply. “I have no grudge against

Torris; I really don’t want to be your enemy!”

He firmly believed that his difference with Freya

was just a matter of differing identities and values,

which shouldn’t be a matter of life or death.

“Stop talking nonsense! Anyone who comes here

cannot be considered an ally; they are my enemy!”

Freya declared, slamming her palm down and

unleashing a torrent of flames that engulfed Xarri.

Xarri was horrified!

With such power, he feared he might not be able to

withstand it!

On the battlefield atop the tower, no one knew the

outcome. Even the Alliance forces were unaware of

the earth–shattering battle taking place.

The Airspace Group made no move, while the allied forces took a day to reorganize their five units.

Emmanuel even allowed everyone a night’s rest to

recharge. The next day, they would regroup and

confront the Airspace Group for the final

showdown!

“Emmanuel, Claudette and I will be waiting for your

return here!”

Last night, Mackenzie had nestled in Emmanuel’s

embrace, spending the most beautiful and fleeting

time of the past month in the Black Wolf Team’s

accommodations.

As dawn approached and they had to part ways,

this strong and aloof woman did not express

reluctance but instead encouraged her husband

with decisive resolve. “Both the child and I believe in

you. You will achieve the final victory and bring us

The High Stakes of Freedom and the Lo

back to Yeringham!”
