Love at the Wrong 1823
Rheits True Power
“It seems the Ophanim Clan is poised to be
defeated by Night Wolf once more!”
This was the rapid conclusion drawn by many in
the crowd.
Xan, however, scoffed. These spectators were
clearly ignorant. They failed to appreciate the full
extent of Rhett’s abilities and truly believed his only
skill was an energy barrier.
Even Mackenzie could discern that Rhett was more
than he appeared, and she secretly worried for Emmanuel.
This was a pivotal battle that determined whether
their family could return home to see Terence and
Felicity. Emmanuel could not afford to lose!
Certainly, Rhett quickly escalated the intensity of
the fight.

As Rhett flicked his cloak, Emmanuel was
confronted with a swirling, blood–red blur. His
punch, which should have struck Rhett, instead met
empty air.
Rhett showed his true form. Like a red phantom, he
had moved behind Emmanuel and delivered a
counterattack.
E
Emmanuel attempted to block with crossed arms,
but it felt as though he had been struck by a freight
train, sending him flying!
Many spectators were stunned with some even
fearing Emmanuel might be thrown off the stage.
Freya cast a sidelong glance at Mackenzie, hoping
to catch any sign of nervousness.
Mackenzie, however, remained impassive and
composed. Despite her lack of martial arts
knowledge, she completely trusted Emmanuel. She
was confident her husband would not be easily
overpowered!
As expected, Emmanuel performed an impressive
Swallow’s Reversal in midair and landed firmly on
the stage.
The duel between the two masters captivated the onlookers below!
“Your Phantom Swap technique is truly impressive!”
Emmanuel smiled and remarked as he shook his
arms.
Rhett, breaking away from his usual pose, lowered
his arms and assumed a combat stance as he
said, “Your Swallow’s Reversal exceeds my
expectations!”
In the realm of masters, minimal words were
needed to grasp each other’s intent.
Emmanuel’s serious gaze conveyed his
understanding. Rhett was genuinely intent on
defeating him!
Moments later, Rhett launched his offensive.
His attacks became significantly more aggressive.
His red cloak, ripped from his body, was hurled with
such force that it resembled a massive,
bloodstained blade!
Alarmed, Emmanuel used Dragon–Breaking Palm
to send the cloak flying back.
As Rhett reclaimed his cloak, he executed three
rapid kicks toward Emmanuel.
Given Rhett’s height, leg length, and sheer power,
Emmanuel found it challenging to block and had to both defend and retreat.
When spectators saw Emmanuel stabilize himself
with multiple tears in his clothing, they realized that although they saw three kicks from Rhett, only
Emmanuel knew the full extent of the attacks.
Rhett showed no signs of halting, pressing his
assault further.
Previously, many believed Rhett was solely a
strength–based fighter who relied on energy and
remained stationary during battles.
Imposing but lacking flair!
Even during his fierce match with Xarri years ago,
this was the impression. However, no one
anticipated his martial arts skills were so
sophisticated!
His red cloak was his most formidable weapon.
In the next moment, the red cloak, like an
all–encompassing net, surrounded Emmanuel in
an unpredictable manner.
Xan smirked. It had been a while since he saw Rhett
fight with full force. This was the true ruler of Dark
Night Islands!
“Ha! The outcome is imminent!”
“Rhett’s true power is indeed remarkable!”
“Emmanuel may be a king as well, but compared to
our Rhett, he is still somewhat inferior!”
Falcon, Anna, and others from the Ophanim Clan
awaited eagerly as Rhett led them to the pinnacle
of Dark Night Islands!
Unlike the Night Wolf representatives, the future of
the rest of Dark Night Islands was of no concern to
them. They were solely focused on dominating
Dark Night Islands and becoming its singular
legend!
As for whether Rhett would align with or oppose the Airspace Group once he became the overlord, they
would follow accordingly!
“Rhett never revealed his full strength! It’s no Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
wonder he always carried such an air of
superiority!”
Members of the Blood Clan and Ophanim Clan
expressed their astonishment.
It was their first encounter with Rhett’s true strength.
His sheer force was already formidable and
combined with the Phantom Swap technique; it
was utterly overwhelming!
If it were them, surviving even one of Rhett’s moves
would be an achievement worthy of boast for
years, earning them respect throughout Dark Night Islands.
