Chapter 292
Hmph, Claudette! You will not have a chance to seduce my husband!
Just like this, Emmanuel walked down the mountainside alone, enjoying the
refreshing environment.
It would be delightful to have a few drinks with close friends in such an
environment!
At this moment, someone seemed to understand his thoughts and suddenly
said, “Emmanuel, do you want to have a drink?”
Emmanuel’s heart skipped a beat when he turned around to see a burly man.
He was 1.9 meters tall, wearing a tight vest, and his arms were even thicker
than his.
He tilted his head back, picked up a bottle of strong liquor, and prepared to
gulp it down.
Glug. Glug.
The burly man’s throat expanded and contracted rhythmically as he drank.
A beauty once said that men who drank like this were the hottest!
That beauty was Claudette, and she also said that if a man drinking like this
had a hint of sorrow in his eyes, he would be very charming.
This man lacked that sense of sorrow. At this moment, his gulping down the
alcohol in big swigs didn’t look suave at all. Instead, he resembled a burly
butcher.
Emmanuel couldn’t help but shake his head. “Quintus, why are you here?”
“Why can’t I be here?”
a
Quintus almost choked himself in his excitement and sprayed a mouthful of
liquor at Emmanuel.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and easily evaded it.
“Quintus, are you here to look for me specifically?”
Emmanuel’s brows furrowed as his frown deepened. Why is this man like a
piece of toffee? He’s so hard to get rid of? Why should a third party meddle in
my relationship with my wife? Tsk. This is annoying!
“Of course! Why else would I come here?” Quintus‘ emotions flared up, his
eyes turning bloodshot. “Emmanuel, you promised me a duel!”
“Is that so? I don’t recall such a thing!” he replied.
Quintus was speechless. He didn’t expect Emmanuel to change, becoming
less friendly than before.
“Emmanuel, are you implying that I’m lying? Doesn’t everyone know that I
never lie?”
“Well, I wouldn’t know!” Emmanuel shook his head.
Quintus was dumbfounded by his reaction.
“Alright, this is a tourist destination with beautiful surroundings. Why do you
have to be so fixated on having a duel? Finish your drink and go back to get a
good night’s sleep!” He decided to find a way to get rid of this trouble.
“Why,should I listen to you?” Quintus quickly stopped him and became
stubborn. “Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this opportunity to
challenge you? I enjoy defeating strong opponents honorably!”
“Haha, you’ve got character!” Emmanuel gave him a thumbs–up. “Quintus, I
also want to have a showdown with you. However, as you can see, this place
is serene and beautiful, with flowers in full bloom. It’s not a suitable place for a
fight!”
“Even if we don’t accidentally harm any tourists, it wouldn’t be good to
damage the flowers and plants unintentionally! How about we set another
time to determine the winner?”
Quintus doggedly asked, “When do you want to set the time? Tomorrow? The
day after tomorrow? I came here specifically to settle the score with you for
the sake of Mackenzie!”
“Quintus, it’s not necessary!” Emmanuel firmly refused. “Moreover, we should
be better prepared for such a serious and important matter. We should also
find a more suitable occasion to settle it. Don’t you think that would be
better?”
“No.” Quintus shook his head. “Last time, you fooled me with the same excuse
Don’t you think that I’ll fall for it again!”
Although it is uncertain whether I can defeat you in terms of martial strength
at least I won’t let you bully me in terms of intelligence this time!
