Chapter 1213 Turn of Events
Terence sighed.
Life wasn’t like a light novel; real characters had flaws and were not invincible. Endings weren’t always rosy. Having lived
through most of his life, Terence had a more profound understanding than those younger folks. Therefore, he always considered
the worst-case scenario,
Felicity had also been waiting in the hall for her daughter and son-in-law to return. She had remained relatively composed until
she heard Terence expressing his concerns. Now, she couldn’t sit still.
In reality, she was concerned about one more person-Sarah. She worried Sarah had messed things up. And what would she do
if Sarah died? Would she have to resign herself to a peaceful life as a noblewoman in the Quillen
family?
At the same time, on the other side, Magnus didn’t dare to approach Emmanuel rashly. Originally, he intended to personally
search for the Heart of the Sun, but he changed his mind on the spot and loudly ordered, “You guys,
search him!”
“Yes, sir!”
Two burly men immediately walked toward Emmanuel, one in front and one behind, ready to search him.
As soon as one of the men reached into Emmanuel’s pocket, the latter smiled and asked, “Have you found it?”
“Huh? W-What is this?” The man’s face showed great fear.
What on earth is this? Why is it so big?
The other man reached into Emmanuel’s back pocket, and his expression was similar.
Why is it so big? And the location seems a bit off!
“Blackjack, Bill, what are you guys doing?” Blake noticed their abnormal expressions and immediately shouted.
“I-It’s huge, even bigger than yours!”
“What on earth?” Blake frowned, looking puzzled.
“Ah!”
The next moment, the two men’s screams echoed. As they pulled their hands out, everyone saw that two green
snakes bit them. The wounds instantly changed color.
Emmanuel couldn’t help but smirk. “Did you think you could restrain me with this? Seems like I’ve been seriously
underestimated!”
With a roar, he exerted force, and the handcuffs snapped.
Everyone was shocked, especially the white-clad woman, realizing that the bone-softening powder hadn’t poisoned
Emmanuel as she had been.
How did he manage that? Was he playing along from the beginning? Turns out he’s the real mastermind!
Emmanuel’s eyes gradually released a murderous intent. He had seen through this plot from the beginning. It was undoubtedly
Magnus deducing and controlling everything. The turbulent river, bone-softening powder-he wasn’t a fool, and he saw through
these tricks from the very beginning.
The bone-softening powder dissolved in the water, harmless as long as one didn’t ingest the river water. He had been prepared,
using his qi techniques to defend against such tricks. Moreover, he had arranged for the Snake Master to follow secretly. Such
wild woods were the snake’s territory.
“Wow, impressive!” Blake couldn’t help but admire, giving Emmanuel a thumbs up. Keeping snakes in his pants, not even he
would dare pull such a move. What he didn’t know was that Emmanuel didn’t put them in himself.
Just then, cries of terror suddenly echoed from outside the door.
“Ah! Snakes! There are snakes!”
“Ah!”
Some were screaming from snake bites, while others were simply terrified of snakes.
“Snake Master?” The white-clad woman was also quite surprised, looking at Emmanuel with increasingly incredulous eyes.
Didn’t she personally disable the Snake Master? How could he still wreak havoc?
Bang!
An abrupt gunshot interrupted her bewildered thoughts.
“Kill them! Kill!” Magnus held a gun, shooting at Emmanuel while roaring in frustration.
It was evident he was furious, his usual refined and strategic demeanor completely gone. His carefully laid plans
had reached this point, only to encounter an unexpected turn of events. It felt like playing a game and failing at the 99th level,
having to start over. Naturally, no one could take that.
Bang! Bang!
Continuous gunshots echoed.
The helpless Saintess quickly dropped to the ground.
Just then, an ugly man rushed toward her, shouting, “D*mn it, plans can fail, but I won’t allow my beauty to escape!”
Oh no! The Saintess realized her current condition left her incapable of resisting this ugly man, leaving her utterly
