It wasn’t that Emmanuel had terrible aim, but the other party reacted far too quickly. Both of them were definitely not ordinary
individuals!
“Hehe, you think you can take us down like this? What a joke!” The man sneered arrogantly.
However, before his laughter could fade, a stone struck him on the side of his head, causing it to burst open instantly!
“You scoundrel! You absolute f*cker!” The remaining gun-wielding woman panicked.
She didn’t even notice that Emmanuel had moved!
Only then did she realize that Emmanuel had used the stone as a diversion. He was already planning his next move after tossing
it in their direction!
They were still too inexperienced to face an opponent like him!
“Retreat!” The two surviving women didn’t dare to linger any longer. So, they threw a grenade in Beatrix’s direction and took the
opportunity to flee.
Meanwhile, Beatrix was hiding behind a rock, unaware of the impending danger.
“D*mn it!” Emmanuel, who had originally planned to kill the remaining two women, had to change his trajectory. So, he hastily
tackled Beatrix away and rolled down the slope in a desperate attempt to escape from the blast radius.
Boom! The grenade exploded, and the dirt lightly fell on top of them.
Emmanuel had used his body to shield Beatrix at the very last minute.
Beatrix was pressed underneath Emmanuel, her heart beating rapidly.
She felt a mix of emotions.
Excitement!
Thrill!
Embarrassment!
There was also a hint of happiness.
No, this won’t do!
Beatrix quickly shook her head. How could she possibly have feelings for her brother-in-law? He was her sister’s husband!
“Are you okay, Beatrix?” Emmanuel quickly got to his haunches and noticed that she looked a bit dazed. So, he was inevitably
worried!
Could it be that he accidentally knocked her silly just now?
Fortunately, Beatrix quickly responded, “Ah... Emmanuel, I’m fine!”
He nodded and quickly stood up, running toward the top.

The two women had long disappeared!
Tony’s coffin was unexpectedly empty. There was nothing inside!
“How could this happen?” Emmanuel couldn’t help but frown.
At this moment, Beatrix also ran up and was equally surprised to see this scene. She didn’t even bother looking at Emmanuel as
she exclaimed, “Why is there nothing in Dad’s coffin? Did those two women take everything away, including my father’s
remains?”
“That’s a possibility!” He immediately ordered, “Beatrix, you should head to the other hill. I’ll go after those two women!”
They needed to capture those two women if they wanted to know more about the situation.
They needed to know whether the coffin was originally empty or if those two women took Tony’s remains with them.
“Alright, Emmanuel!” She knew that time was of the essence. So, she didn’t hesitate to speak up, “Once I make it back with
everyone, I’ll send you a text to inform you I’m safe!”
“Good!” He nodded and immediately determined the direction of their escape based on the faint footprints on the ground. Then,
he wasted no time chasing after them.
Beatrix also successfully returned to another hill and found Terence, who was attending Alton’s funeral.
“What did you say? Someone went to dig up your Dad’s grave?!” Terence was furious and shocked upon hearing the news.
Alfred immediately interjected, “Old Mr. Quillen, they had to have done this because of what you said that night!”
When Terence heard that, he felt his worries melt away as he sighed, “Beatrix, quickly inform Emmanuel that there’s no need to
chase them! The urn is empty!”
“What?!” Beatrix was extremely bewildered. She had always thought that her Dad’s remains were in the grave!
“Alfred, let’s hurry to Templar Valor!” Terence didn’t plan on explaining himself for the time being. After all, there were other
people present.
“Yes, Old Mr. Quillen!” Alfred, who was standing beside Terence, was the person who knew the most about the events of that
year. So, he immediately nodded and accompanied Terence to Templar Valor.
As they walked on the deserted road, Beatrix kept bombarding Terence with questions. Thus, he began to recount the events of
38 years ago.
At that time, Templar Valor was at its peak, both in terms of the size and structure of the sect. Even the martial arts cultivation of
its sect leader was powerful beyond comprehension. Suffice it to say, the current Templar Valor couldn’t even come close to what
it was all those years ago.
However, Templar Valor was respected by everyone in the martial arts world due to its extraordinary might!
Unfortunately, although the previous two sect leaders were highly skilled, they were also unable to withstand the passage of
time. So, it was only natural that they were on the verge of death as time passed. Hence, it was finally time to select the next
sect leader of Templar Valor.
At that time, Alfred and Sinclair, the two brothers, were the most likely candidates.
