Love At The Wrong Table

Xan Saved

Facing Xan’s ultimate moves earlier was no pressure to Blake, but right now

his forehead was beaded with sweat in the fight against Scarlet.

Scarlet sneered. “You don’t need to guard that stupid machine. I have no

interest in it!”

Blake paced himself quickly. He knew that he still needed to protect the

machine because if he didn’t, the only consequence he would face was

death!

Boom!

Scarlet’s first slash instantly destroyed the equipment controlling the dock

gates. However, Blake was lucky enough to dodge it, but it definitely caused

him to break out in cold sweat!

“I never doubted you as the renowned Lady Scarlet and truly admire your

abilities. Now that the machine is wrecked, there is no need for us to fight on.

So, stand down!” Blake was persistent in stopping the battle.

Mon,

Scarlet merely taunted him. “The so–called ‘Shoiya’s Top Warrior‘, is this all

you’ve got?”

“What do you mean?” Blake’s eyes blazed with fury.

“Did you misunderstand me? I’m not here to help the Alliance Forces. I merely

wanted to test your abilities. I aim to find the most suitable man who can

withstand my fourth slash! Now that we have battled it out, it’s evident that

you’re just trash!” Scarlet humiliated Blake casually with her explanation.

Blake was so furious that he looked at Scarlet with loathing eyes.

“Scarlet! I’ll give you three seconds. If you don’t apologize to me right now, I

will make you regret your own words!”

“Oh, really?”

Seeing his belligerence boiling within him, Scarlet became much more

enthusiastic about fighting him. She pulled her whip with force and said, “The

way you look right now gives you further validation to die under my second

slash!”

Blake refused to back down and be intimidated by her words. With his gaze

sharper and void of all mercy, he flashed his sword in front of him.

“I rarely strike women with my katana, especially since arriving at the Dark

Night Islands. You will be the first to die under this blade!!”

“Is that so? Guess I gotta really hope to die! Hehe…” Scarlet laughed casually

while her whip slowly burst into flames.

The second whip, Inferno Hell!

For a moment, the long whip looked like a venomous viper spitting out seeds

of fire, trying to land a bite on Blake.

Blake also roared with anger, his katana flashed like lightning striking in the

sky. The showdown between the highest–ranking warriors even made the

windows and walls gradually collapse! In time, their surroundings turned into

ashes of destruction!

Clang!

Debris fell from the ceiling and the base began to tremor.

“Rhett, look at the third floor!” Just as Rhett was about to pass down the order

to attack, Falcon exclaimed while pointing upwards.

Rhett had already sensed the auras of the two powerhouses. He smiled

coldly and said, “It’s out of our hands now. Let’s reform and head to the

southern dockyard!”

“Huh? But-‘

”

“The button hasn’t been pressed yet, right?”

“If we head to the docks now, can we even board the ship?”

Many people were puzzled by his decision. Falcon also staggered at Rhett’s

words. But he quickly pulled himself together and nudged his partner. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Enough nonsense! If Rhett says it’s out of our hands, that means the button

has been pressed. So, let’s go with a peace of mind!”

However, there were still people who were oblivious to the truth shouting,

“Xan won!”

“He activated the dock button!”

“Victory!”

“We can finally leave this hellhole!”

Rhett listened to them without bothering to correct their statements and just

gave a small smile. He waited for the main army to leave and at the last

moment, he rode his horse to the bottom of the only window on the third

floor.

Swoosh!

Sure enough, there was a victim covered in bloodstains being thrown out of

the window!

Xan Saved

Rhett quickly reached out and caught the victim. It was a blood–covered Xan,

evidently not in a victorious state.

“Rhett, I have failed! I have disgraced the Ophanim Clan!” Xan looked at him,

guilt–ridden.

Rhett felt that something was amiss and immediately comforted him. “You’re

wrong. The mission was completed. Do not drown yourself in guilt! The

Alliance forces will definitely clinch the final victory!”

“No, I am a failure!” Xan shook his head, his eyes devoid of any will to survive.

He had come to the Dark Night Islands with the mission to assassinate all

high–ranking assignments. However, he ended up staying longer than he

expected. Moreover, he was utterly defeated at the hands of Paul North. What

gave him the right to return home? And how was he going to face the stares

of others?

In addition, as the general of the Alliance troops at the Dark Night Islands, he barely contributed to this war. Instead, many people spilled blood under his

leadership. How could he face the stares of the soldiers and generals of the

Alliance troops?
