Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe

“Levi’s wisdom shines bright!” Envoy Azure complimented.

As another night of competition ended, various factions and individuals

began to unwind. Some relaxed, while those still in the midst of competition

grasped the chance to rest.

However, there was someone who stood out from the rest.

With a firm grip on his sword, he slipped into a room at an ordinary inn

without making any sound.

Despite the silence, the old man sitting in the room was aware of his

presence and spoke with his eyes shut. “Yosef, you’ve finally come to visit

me?”

Yosef emerged from the darkness.

Despite his pristine appearance, his eyes had lost their sparkle. He was no

longer resembling the vibrant youth he once was.

The old man asked him with closed eyes. “You’ve approached me, implying

that you have something on your mind. Why not share your thoughts?”

Then Yosef locked his gaze on him, gritting his teeth as he inquired. “Old

godfather, why? I’ve faithfully served you for two decades, but you’ve never

imparted martial arts to me. Instead, you decided to pass on the Art of

Adaptability to Emmanuel. Why?”

The old godfather didn’t reply immediately. Instead, he slowly opened his

eyes.

His aged gaze was as deep as an endless tunnel.

“Haven’t you understood yet?” he asked.

I don’t understand!” Yosef clenched his teeth. His frustration seeped through

his words. “Is it because his grandfather and father were heroes, while mine

was a murderer? Have you already judged me because of that?”

The old godfather didn’t respond directly, instead posing a question in return.

“Am I wrong?”

“You’re wrong! Utterly wrong!” Yosef’s voice rose with indignation. “Your lack of

trust has shrouded me in darkness, leading to my current state!”

The old godfather’s expression remained unchanged as he questioned, “Is

that truly what you think?”

“Yes!” Yosef affirmed vehemently. “As the old godfather of Hero’s Village, your

judgment was significant. If you trust me and pass on the mantle to me, the

villagers will also trust me. Queenie wouldn’t scorn my origins, and I’d tread

the path of righteousness rather than the one I’m on now!”

The old godfather looked at him with a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

“What you’re saying does make some sense, but it’s not entirely correct.”

Yosef clenched his fists. His knuckles were prominent.

“Yosef!” The old godfather let out a long sigh and expressed his heartfelt

concern in his words. “You’re truly my most cherished disciple, and I earnestly

wish for you to replace the right path! However, you should understand that it’s

not my approval that will lead you there. It’s your journey towards

righteousness that will earn the respect of others!”

With a clang, Yosef finally drew his sword. With anger in his voice, he angrily

pointed his sword at the old godfather. “That’s nonsense! You’re just showing

favoritism towards Emmanuel!”

The old godfather’s demeanor remained unperturbed. “Perhaps he has

reasons deserving of my favoritism.”

“What is the reason?” Yosef roared, and his eyes blazed with anger.

Santiago continued to gulp down alcohol outside the room without disturbing

the conversation between the master and the disciple.

Meanwhile, a swarm of butterflies, attracted by the scent of liquor, futtered

outside the room, spreading fragrant aromas.

“Yosef, if I passed on the Art of Adaptability to you, it would be futile as you

still cannot comprehend it.”

The old godfather’s response was straightforward. “It’s not that your martial

arts is inferior to Emmanuel. It’s your spiritual maturity that falls short.”

“What do you mean?” Yosef’s sword tip had already touched the old

godfather’s throat.

Unperturbed, the old godfather continued to explain. “Emmanuel

comprehends the purpose behind martial arts, while you do not.”

“His strength stems from his understanding of sacrifice and the willingness to

defend home and country. On the battlefield, he bravely fights enemies as

he knows that his country and people rely on him. He must be strong enough

to stand firm!”

“Your pursuit of martial arts is driven by personal gain–control over the

village, perhaps even the approval of a woman. The disparity in your spiritual

realms is vast.”

Yosef’s gaze darkened, suffused with

crimson rage.

“You’re talking nonsense! You’re looking down on me! You all have prejudices

against me! I’ll kill Emmanuel to prove you’re all wrong! Wrongdoers don’t

deserve to live!”

In the end, Yosef swung his sword.

In his mind, the old godfather had already been dismembered.
