Chapter 1408 Plea for Help
The impostors exhaled a quiet sigh of relief, grateful that they hadn’t provoked a confrontation withEmmanuel earlier; otherwise, they might have been the ones lying on the ground now.
Emmanuel also had no time to deal with them at the moment. He swiftly followed Angela into anexclusive room.
“Mr. Lowe, we hope you can assist the Onza Silverbane family once again!”
Upon seeing Emmanuel, Stanley promptly rose to his feet and made his request, leaving theonlookers stunned.
Stanley was the president of the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce, a position of immense prestige.In Nuthana, there was almost nobody who could match him. Yet, here he was, bowing to solicitassistance from a relatively unknown young man. The juxtaposition was nothing short of shocking.
Emmanuel grasped the essence of their request but still asked for clarity. “Old Mr. Silverbane,please state your request plainly.”
“Alright!”
Stanley didn’t beat around the bush. He explained, “The Onza Silverbane family must secure avictory tonight. Failure would spell disaster not only for us but for the entire Nuthana Chamber ofCommerce.”
“Oh?”
Emmanuel simply responded, appearing as though he did not fully comprehend the situation.
Stanley then elaborated, “Mr. Lowe, you may not know, but the Eshal Silverbane family has alwayscoveted the presidency. However, my eldest son, Blaze, and his family are ambitious and evenunscrupulous. If they were to succeed, the Nuthana Chamber of Commerce would undoubtedlydescend into corruption, ensnared in the darkness of greed and deceit like the other majorchambers of commerce.”
Emmanuel nodded in understanding. “So, you are planning to pass the presidency to the OnzaSilverbane family?”
“Exactly!”
Stanley, despite enduring a myriad of trials and tribulations, now couldn’t conceal a hint of anxiety inhis eyes. “Apart from wealth and power, it’s strength that garners genuine recognition from thechamber of commerce. Reputation, in fact, rests upon these three pillars.
“The foundation of the Onza Silverbane family is not as strong as that of the Eshal Silverbanefamily. If we were defeated tonight, Blaze and his family may pressure me into relinquishing thepresidency to them.”
Emmanuel nodded, empathizing with Stanley’s predicament. He could roughly gauge the caliber ofthe Eshal Silverbane family from Blaze Silverbane’s behavior.
Yet he still inquired, “Old Mr. Silverbane, you’re asking me to represent the Onza Silverbane familyand secure victory tonight?”
“Exactly!”
Angela interjected, “Mr. Lowe, don’t you also want to save Beatrix? If you assist the OnzaSilverbane family in winning the championship tonight, she will regain her freedom, isn’t it?”
“I wish for that.” Emmanuel got straight to the point. “However, rules govern this world. Personalvalor often leads to trouble. As a participant representing the Quillen family, I cannot represent yourfamily.”
Anticipating his response, Angela’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. Rather than addressing howhe could resolve the issue directly, she dismissed everyone else in the room, leaving only the threeof them.
With a smile, Angela proposed, “Mr. Lowe, you’re right to be concerned. Rules govern this world,and heroism is no longer in vogue. Even the national leaders must be elected through various legalprocedures to obtain corresponding power. So tonight, let’s exploit the loopholes in the rulestogether!”

“Ms. Silverbane, what do you mean by that?” Emmanuel inquired, furrowing his brow.
Tonight, his sole mission here was to rescue Beatrix, and he had been pondering various strategiesto achieve that goal. Initially, he had pinned his hopes on Shane’s prowess, believing he had achance to win the championship. However, witnessing the victory of the skinny challenger whodefeated Johnwick moments ago made him realize he could no longer rely on Shane.
However, participating in the competition would inevitably impact the Quillen family and should onlybe considered as a last resort. Therefore, if Angela could come up with a solution that effectivelyaddressed two concerns at once, he would gladly
cooperate.
Handing him a badge labeled “Onza Silverbane,” Angela explained with a smile, “This badgerepresents a privilege that the rules grant to prominent families like ours. If we have fewer than twoqualifiers, we are entitled to appoint an additional expert for the free-for-all tournament. With thisbadge, you can represent the Onza Silverbane family in battle at any time tonight.”
Emmanuel was slightly surprised. While he was aware of the privilege granted to prominentfamilies, Angela’s decision to do so still caught him off guard.
