Chapter 1805
The Secrets of Dark Night Islands Despite his passionate speech, Rhett remained unresponsive.
87% He was not aligned with the Holy Trinity. Addressing Emmanuel, he said, “Our identities and roles are fundamentally different, and so are our beliefs. In this world, respect is reserved for the strong; the convictions of the weak are disregarded. If you can bestin the duel, I'll follow your lead. Otherwise, you will have to follow mine." Emmanuel responded with a smile. "Sure! Letdetoxify you first." Rhett, puzzled and with a furrowed brow, asked, "Why are you doing this?" He assumed Emmanuel would refuse the treatment, interpreting this as a gesture of support.
11 I will show you the srespect you show me," Emmanuel replied earnestly. "If you can accept our differing beliefs, then so can I Winning against the King of Ophanim in an imperfect state is simply not honorable. I don't want such a victory." Aug Rhett observed him for a while, and upon seeing the sincerity in his eyes, he burst out Haughing.
For a long moment, neither of them said a word. They both had limited knowledge about each other, but strong individuals often understand one another through direct confrontation. They didn't delve deeper, as twas of the essence.
Eventually, Rhett agreed to Emmanuel's help in detoxifying him.
"By the way, why do you want to defend that woman?" Emmanuel asked, while performing acupuncture to detoxify Rhett.
"Since you protect Aqua, who has no connection to you, why can't I protect her?" Rhett's answer surprised Emmanuel again.
It seems that Rhett is very aware of every move the Black Wolf Team makes, or did he infer from Aqua's continued presence? "Are you suggesting she is related to you?" Emmanuel, perceptive as ever, grasped the implication behind Rhett's words.
"Yes! Her nis Liana Flynn!" Rhett provided only the name, adding, "You might be able to form a connection with her. She advocates for the Saintess's freedom and has long wished for my death." Emmanuel shivered slightly and questioned, "Does supporting the Saintess's freedom mean she desires your death? Aren't you her brother?" "We are indeed family!" Rhett's smile was tinged with bitterness." She was once a maid to the Saintess, who treated her very well. She resentsfor not protecting the Saintess properly and letting her leave the Holy Trinity." "After the Saintess left, both of us were sent to Dark Night Islands for punishment. She was later trained to beca traitor. I am aware of all this." Emmanuel was still surprised. "She wants you dead just because of this? Aren't you her only family?" Rhett smiled again. "To others, I am the ruler of Dark Night Islands, but to her, I am a complete failure. She likely wishes for my death to atone for my sins and find peace. Nevertheless, she has not communicated withfor many years, so I'm unsure of her current thoughts." Discussing his relationship with his sister, Rhett seemed more like an ordinary brother than the king of Dark Night Islands. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Emmanuel hoped to have the chance to chat with Liana, but it appeared there wouldn't be tin the near future.
"Emmanuel, if you manage to defeat me, I can lead a team to help you capture a base.
You will be the primary attacker at the central tower, but the remaining three bases may present significant challenges!" Rhett unexpectedly brought this up.
Emmanuel frowned and asked, "Why would it be challenging?"
"Because I was involved in designing that base, and it follows the principle ve that the strongest shall not be broken!"" Rhett seemed a bit proud as he explained, "The button to open the dock is located in a specially designed secret room with strict technological controls. Only two people cam enter at a time. If more than two are detected, the door locks completely, and even with the technological capabilities of Dark Night Islands, it cannot be breached." Emmanuel nodded, understanding the situation. No wonder that over the years, no one on Dark Night Islands has thought of leaving. Even the legendary figure-Xarri-can only wait for the destined person he predicted! "The guards of the base room are all former kings of Dark Night Islands, who have been bribed by the Airspace Group!" Rhett went on "Apart fromand Xarri, who have the
capability to face them, even with Xan's strength, defeating those m by guards will be tough. I don't think you can count on Quell and Vachon!" Ashburn X
