Chapter 490
Felix gasped for breath as he leaped up
On the other hand, Emmanuel’s breathing was steady, as if he had just
warmed up.
Those who had just cheered for Felix fell silent in an instant.
Evén a complete outsider could tell who had the upper hand and who was at
a disadvantage.
“Your age is catching up with you, Felix. It’s time for you to retire and go home!
I don’t think your family needs to stay in Yeringham either. They should all go
back to the countryside with you!”
Adolph was greatly disappointed, but he didn’t stop pressuring Felix.
Upon hearing that his family couldn’t stay in Yeringham, Felix became
anxious and shouted, “No! I haven’t lost!”
Before he even finished his words, he launched another fierce attack that
was clearly more powerful than before on Emmanuel.
Everyone thought there was still suspense in this battle.
Little did they know that Emmanuel was even more at ease than before.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile Felix’s attacks seemed more aggressive, they couldn’t break through
his defense.
Whoosh!
Emmanuel suddenly seized the opportunity and counterattacked with a
powerful punch. The forceful gusts of wind from his fist sent Felix’s white hair
flying, and the older man struggled to keep his eyes open.
“Sh*t!” Felix knew that with the old bones in his body, he would still be heavily
injured even if he didn’t die from this punch. Instinctively, he tightly shut his
eyes.
Having roamed Yeringham for many years, he had never encountered such
a formidable young man. Emmanuel’s moves were not flashy, yet each one
hit the mark, blending simplicity with a profound understanding of martial
arts.
“No! Don’t!” Elizabeth exclaimed. She didn’t want to see Emmanuel defeated,
but she certainly didn’t want to witness Felix being beaten to death, either.
However, she also knew that her cry had come too late.
Surprisingly, Emmanuel’s punch didn’t land. His fist stopped in front of Felix’s
face.
Even so, Felix felt a sting on his face.
Quintus and many others present let out a sigh of relief. Felix held great
prestige in the Lenoir family, and he had several disciples serving the Lenoirs.
If Emmanuel had killed Felix on the spot, those people would undoubtedly
seek Emmanuel to avenge Felix.
Felix soon slowly opened his eyes and looked at Emmanuel in astonishment.
“W–Why didn’t you kill me?”
He saw no fear in Emmanuel’s eyes, which meant that this young man wasn’t
afraid of causing trouble by killing him. It seemed Emmanuel had chosen to
stop on his own accord.
“Why should I hurt you? There is no beef between us.” Emmanuel retracted his
fist and continued, “If it weren’t for you not stopping me that day, I’m afraid
Mackenzie would have suffered at the hands of Tobias. I owed you a favor,
and I’ve repaid it today!”
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock once again. So, it was Mr. John
who let Emmanuel in to kill Mr. Lenoir?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFelix sighed and decided not to continue the fight. He turned to Adolph and
bowed. “General Lenoir, I am useless now that I’ve grown old. I will leave the
Lenoir family and retire to the countryside.”
Adolph snorted upon hearing that. “You useless old waste of space! Take
your family and get your *sses out of Yeringham!”
Felix only nodded as he sighed once again.
It was only with the Lenoir family’s resources and connections that his
granddaughter managed to make a name for herself in the entertainment
industry. But now, it seemed that everything she had gained before was
nothing but an illusion.
Emmanuel didn’t know Felix’s story, but he felt a twinge of pity as he watched
the old man’s figure.
After dedicating himself to the Lenoirs for so many years, Felix was
abandoned because of one failure. Emmanuel could tell that Adolph’s
character was indeed lacking.
It seems that Claudette took after her mother, he concluded.
Although Adolph treated Felix harshly, he was surprisingly true to his word. He
coldly said to Emmanuel, “Since you’ve defeated Felix, I won’t hold you
responsible for the incident with Tobias. However, you will be held
accountable for Claudette’s death! Quintus!”
