After a brief moment of thought, he admitted, “Grandpa, I can share something with you, but you must promise to keep it a
secret. If this gets out, I’ll be left with no option but to face dire consequences.”
“Is it that serious?” Terence raised an eyebrow.
“Yes, Grandpa. Do you still want to hear it?” Emmanuel gazed at Terence earnestly, his look conveying immense
pressure.
Emmanuel let out a soft sigh. Now that Terence had figured it out, there was no point in continuing to hide.
“Haha, of course, I’m all ears. I need to hear it.” Terence chuckled.
As he neared the end of his life, what did it matter if he carried a secret with him? What truly mattered was his curiosity about his
grandson-in-law’s real identity and the kind of man chosen for his granddaughter.
“I’m the retired Wolf Warrior from the Northern Region, currently burdened with a challenging mission.”
“What?” Even though Terence had mentally prepared himself, Emmanuel’s confession still left him in shock.
“Three and a half years ago, the Chairman of the Chanaea Chamber of Commerce colluded with foreign enemies, sparking a
war. The Northern Region defended the Chanaea border, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of heroic youths. The Wolf
Warrior Corps also crumbled in that battle.”
“I’m currently laying low in Yeringham, operating under a false identity, biding my time for the right moment to strike against the
enemy nation. I’m seeking revenge for Chanaea, for the Northern Region, and for my fallen comrades.” Now that Emmanuel had
disclosed his identity, he had no qualms about sharing his ultimate goal with Terence.
“The Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Teddy Mole?” Terence gasped, his expression betraying disbelief.

As the wealthiest man in Yeringham, Terence was well-acquainted with this influential figure. Compared to Teddy’s wealth and
status, Terence considered himself insignificant. He couldn’t help but think that Emmanuel was planning to assassinate someone
of Teddy’s stature.
“That’s correct.” Emmanuel nodded.
“Are you aware of his close connections with many influential families and corporations? Even if you manage to assassinate him
successfully, it could trigger significant chaos in Chanaea. The Quillen family might end up being entangled in the fallout
alongside you,” Terence cautioned, offering Emmanuel some reassurance.
Even though Terence knew the target of Emmanuel’s mission, he had no intention of distancing himself from Emmanuel.
“Of course, I’m aware,” Emmanuel affirmed. “That’s why I’ve devised a plan to oust him from the position of Chamber of
Commerce President, isolate him, and then eliminate him.”
“Oh...” Terence looked slightly flustered. He leaned on his cane, pacing back and forth before continuing, “So, your strategy
involves leveraging the Quillen family to join the Chamber of Commerce and then taking action to bring Teddy down?”
“That’s right.” Emmanuel nodded, appreciating the savvy Terence who saved him from having to explain further.
“You didn’t plan this from the beginning, did you?” Terence eyed Emmanuel with suspicion. Being the Wolf Warrior, Emmanuel
might have been feigning weakness all along.
“Grandpa, please don’t get the wrong idea. I only took on this mission after marrying Mackenzie.” Emmanuel clarified swiftly, “If
you don’t want the Quillen family to be involved, I won’t use them for anything.”
“Hmm...” Terence furrowed his brows, entering a deep contemplation. After a considerable pause, he sighed. “I’ve heard about
some of Teddy’s actions. That man does indeed have a notorious reputation. There’s a rumor circulating that when he was
young, he went as far as killing his brothers to seize power, leading to the disintegration of the Tanner Family.”
He continued, “In his quest to become the President of the Chamber of Commerce, he resorted to assassinating those who
opposed him, leaving his hands stained with blood. Inever imagined he’d go so far as to deliberately collude with foreign
enemies, sparking a war that drenched the Chanaea-border in blood. Ah... Chanaea is unfortunate to have such a villain.”
Emmanuel listened in silence, the anger in his heart reigniting.

For the sake of personal gain, he sacrificed tens of thousands of brothers in the Northern Region, and the Wolf Warrior Army
vanished as a consequence. He vowed that revenge must be taken.
“Emmanuel, this matter is of great importance. It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I don’t have the ability.” Terence also
admitted, “Regardless, I’ll transfer the Quillen family’s assets to Mackenzie. That won’t change. Whether Mackenzie decides to
assist you or not, that’s a decision she’ll make in the future.”
