Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
Chapter 2351; The Lannister Family Is the Foundation
“Santiago, your disciple has outdone your!” Yorick praised as he watched the battle unfold from afar.
“The younger generations are capable, for sure. He has made me proud. Besides, it has also proven I’m better than you!” Santiago wasn’t offended by Yorick’s comment. Instead, he was proud of what Emmanuel had accomplished so far.
He fished out his hip flash and took a gulp. Yorick’s lips curled in amusement.
Technically, Emmanuel was as powerful as him. However, Emmanuel lived up to his father’s name. He had proven himself as the son of the quintuple-S class fighter, the Dawnbringer. He was born to become a martial artist. His talent to adapt to his opponent’s strength was the most terrifying.
He always performed exceptionally in battles. Therefore, judging him by his appearance was unwise and could end terribly.
Meanwhile, a hint of fear flashed in the elder’s eyes. They knew they must give their best with unwavering determination to defeat Emmanuel, as he was far from an ordinary fighter.
Therefore, they activated their internal strength. They sped at Emmanuel like shooting stars, and the lights fused as they attacked him.
“Bring it on!” Emmanuel had finished warming up and entered his top condition. He stood tall to face the incoming blow. Hati sneered, and his figure turned specter-like.
Xarri marveled at his ability. He couldn’t guarantee he could defeat Hati or imagine the immense pressure he would face if he had to fight all three of them.
Emmanuel closed his eyes and acted relying on his instincts.
When Hati attacked, Emmanuel forced him to retreat with a clean blow. The other two seized the opportunity to hit but to no avail.
“What was that?” Cassandra trembled in fear.
Her companions shared her disbelief. They had mastered martial arts for decades but had never met someone like Emmanuel.
Emmanuel planted doubts in their mind.
Still they were responsible for guarding the Lannister family. Despite their fear, they continued with a brave facade.
Emmanuel broke them with the Art of Adaptability and the Northern Region Dragon-Breaking Palm.
As time passed, the four elders began the pant heavily. Their pale faces and the sweat beading on their foreheads indicated they were exhausted.
What crushed their will was that Emmanuel managed to keep his composure as if the fight meant nothing to him.
They must admit that the younger generation indeed had higher endurance, whining. Still, he could have gone easy on us!
“Are we still fighting? What are you waiting for?” Emmanuel left them no room to catch their breath. He vanished from the spot and reappeared behind Cassandra, striking out with a palm.
She groaned. You’re after me because of what I did to Xarri earlier, right?
At her most desperate moment, a figure suddenly appeared between them. He defused Emmanuel’s attack with the Astral Revolution.
Smack! The impact hit the wall of a building nearby and shattered it. The crowd gasped in shock, some had already fled in panic.
“Mr. Eric!” Someone excitedly shouted when they recognized the newcomer. “Mr. Eric is back!”
“Father!” Gwain ran over to his father.
Eric signaled Gwain to stop before talking to Emmanuel. “Meeting the young generation today is an eye-opening experience. Your capability to defeat the Four Elders at such a young age is admirable. May I ask for your and your mentor’s names?”
“Eric, no need to feign ignorance to my disciple.”
The Saints, who had been lurking, decided to show their faces when they spotted their target. Their silhouettes morphed into beams of silver and golden light as they descended from their observation point.
The impact sent a flurry of dust flying into the air. Their overwhelming aura made the crowd’s legs shake.
Fortunately, most of the people present were seasoned fighters. Those weaker would have suffered from internal injuries when they landed.
“Well, well, well. Wouldn’t you look at that? The two Saints have honored us with their presence. Forgive my manners, but what brings you here?” Eric remained cheerful.
On the other hand, Gwain didn’t share his father’s confidence. Dealing with Emmanuel alone was a headache, and the sight of the two Saints only fueled his anxiety.
After all, he was afraid of Emmanuel but feared Yorick to the bone.
“Oh, come on. Cut the crap. “Santiago huffed in annoyance. “Yorick, I don’t want to waste more time on him. Do you want to tell him anything?”
Despite his offer, he would rather fight Eric right away.
Yorick thanked him with a nod and cut the chase. “Eric, I suppose you were the man in black who showed up on Divine Mountain.”
“What?” His statement shocked the crowd. Although they were present then, they never linked the black-clad fighter to Eric.
“Lord Dotson, it’s good that you’re back in Chanaea, but I’m afraid you’ve mistaken me for someone else!” Laughing. Eric shook his head and denied the claim.
“He, hasn’t.” Emmanuel pointed at him and said, “When I fought you last time, you left an impression because my full-force Reverse Dragon Palm couldn’t even harm you. After watching Gwain fight, I realized it was the unique skill of the Lannister family, After Revaluation. You did more fascinating than Gwain.
“I guess it’s like the old saying’ the Lannister family is the foundation of the martial arts world. Judging from our two encounters, I’m confident I wouldn’t make a mistake. You were the man in black!”
Gwain gritted his teeth, upset that Emmanuel took the opportunity to humiliate him publicly. The members of the Lannister family stared at Eric, eagerly awaiting his response.
After all, they thought he was on a retreat the whole time.
Eric laughed out loud, explaining, “Emmanuel, you’re a worthy opponent. Your power is above Gwain’s, but I believe he could surpass you one day with continued effort.”
“Is that a tactic admission?” Emmanuel smiled, deliberately ignoring the comparison between himself and Gwain.
“Yes!” Eric admitted readily, as there was no point in denying it when they had leverage against him. “I had just ended my training when I learned something interesting was happening on Divine Mountain. Originally, I was just along for the ride and didn’t want to alert anyone. However, I had to intervene when my son was in danger.”
“That’s right, Eric! You repeatedly impersonated me and framed me in the past!” Yorick immediately exclaimed, not letting Eric finish his words.
“What?” The accusation shocked the Lannisters. Gwain stared at his father as if a strager stood befoer him.
They had no idea about Eric’s past. In their opinion, he was a mysterious man.
“Lord Dotson, you had the wrong guy.” Eric refused to take the blame. “I’m a mediocre fighter. There was no way I could impersonate you. Besides, what’s the point of framing you? The Lannister family has never been involved in political matters-“
“Enough!” Yorick interrupted him. “You can deceive others, but I won’t fall for your lies. I recognize your eyes. You were the figher who used to stop me from jumping off the cliff back then. I came here today to figure out your motives. Now, take this!”
