Chapter 1356 A Trap
After escorting Roselynn to the finest hotel in the Onza’s south district, Emmanuel had originallyplanned to head to the arena to gather some information. However, as he stepped out of the hotelentrance, he coincidentally spotted a grandfather and granddaughter walking ahead.
The grandfather possessed an air of distinction, clearly not an ordinary individual.
The young woman, in her twenties, was not as strikingly beautiful as Mackenzie and Hattie, but sheexuded an elegant and graceful demeanor, unmistakably a refined lady.
As they strolled and conversed, they discussed the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, indicatingthat they were also a formidable presence in the competition.
“By the way, Grandpa, speaking of the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown, the Quillen family fromYeringham is participating this time!”
The granddaughter displayed great enthusiasm for the tournament and spoke with confidence, “TheQuillen family was the former champion of the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown thirty years ago. Iwonder how their strength will fare after thirty years of silence. It’s truly exhilarating!”
Emmanuel had not intended to eavesdrop on their conversation and couldn’t help but listenattentively upon hearing them mention the Quillen family.
“That’s right. I have always been intrigued by the Quillen family from Yeringham. They’re aprestigious family in Nuthana. I fail to comprehend why they only applied to join the Chamber ofCommerce this year!” The old man drawled out his words.
Upon hearing this, Emmanuel couldn’t help but be curious about the old man’s identity. Could he besomeone of importance in the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce?
Unfortunately, the grandfather and granddaughter had exited the hotel and entered a black luxurycar.
Emmanuel was not accustomed to eavesdropping. But as he prepared to make his way to thearena, he noticed, someone discreetly tailing the grandfather and granddaughter outside the hotel.He didn’t particularly desire to get involved, but since he was also heading to the arena andhappened to be driving, he decided to follow them from a
distance.
As they traversed a suburban road, an unusual stillness enveloped the night.
The granddaughter, being an Onzanian, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of unease. However, by thetime she wanted to alert the old man to turn back and take a different route, it was already too late!
The road ahead had been obstructed by two large stones as if someone had strategically placed itthere. Behind them, two trucks blocked their retreat after they passed an Intersection.
“Grandpa, something is amiss. It appears that we have fallen into a trap!” the granddaughterexclaimed in panic.
The old man’s countenance turned serious, but he remained composed and didn’t succumb topanic, having weathered numerous hardships in his life.
“Sir, fear not, I will protect you and the missus!” the driver, a robust and nimble man, spoke up. Hepromptly opened the car door and stepped out, prepared to swiftly remove the stones obstructingtheir path. For an ordinary person, these large stones might be immovable, but for a fighter like him,it wouldn’t be too challenging.
The granddaughter also held great trust in this personal bodyguard. He was a retired fighter andonce a renowned mercenary. So, his strength was beyond question.

However, as soon as he made contact with the colossal stone, hidden weapons suddenly emergedfrom all directions.
Due to the darkness of night, these concealed weapons were incredibly swift and difficult to detect!
“Argh!” In an instant, the confident bodyguard, who had claimed to protect the old man andgranddaughter, let out a scream of agony!
The next moment, two slender metal wires descended from the sky, tightly constricting his neck.Then, the burly man couldn’t even utter a sound. Despite his formidable internal strength, hecouldn’t break free from these military-grade metal wires and even severed his own fingers in theprocess.
Snap! In less than three seconds, his head had detached from his body, and blood splattered ontothe ground.
“Argh!” The horrifying sight terrified the granddaughter, causing her face to turn pale.
“Angela, don’t be afraid! Grandpa is still here!” the old man swiftly reassured his granddaughter.
Being an Onza socialite, the granddaughter swiftly suppressed her inner panic!
She was well aware that being afraid in a situation like this wouldn’t help her. Only by remainingcalm and composed would she and the old man stand a chance at survival!
“Old Mr. Silverbane, we hold you in high regard. Step out of the car and accept your fate! Perhapswe’ll let you die with dignity!”
At that moment, as the night breeze gently blew and the tree shadows swayed, three figuressuddenly emerged around the vehicle, revealing two men dressed in black and a woman in a reddress.
All of them were clearly assassins with their faces concealed. One of the men was bald, while theother had an unusual hairstyle.
