Chapter 293
Love at the Wrong Table
Chapter 293
âQuintus, my friend, even though we have only crossed paths a few times, it
feels like weâve known each other forever. Why do you insist on making things
difficult? Return now, and we can still be friends in the future,â Emmanuel
sighed helplessly.
âNo!â Quintus shook his head again.
âIf thatâs the case, we are not friends. Thereâs nothing more to discuss.
Goodbye!â
Emmanuel turned around and started walking away.
He was truly annoyed at this point. Mackenzie was his wife, so why should he
accept Quintusâ challenge for no reason? Plus, this bet was nothing but
foolish as he would have to leave Mackenzie if he lost!
Besides, he was here for sightseeing and leisure, not to engage in pointless
duels with others.
It wasnât like he was sick in the head to do something like that.
Right, Quintus definitely has a few screws loose.
Thunk!

Quintus suddenly stomped the ground and leaped in front of Emmanuel
once again.
One could tell what tremendous force this behemoth had from the way a pit
was formed in the sturdy ground.
Right then, Mackenzie happened to be coming down the mountainside not
far away to find Emmanuel when she witnessed this scene.
Mackenzie couldnât help but furrow her eyebrows slightly when she caught
sight of Quintusâ terrifying strength. Can Emmanuel handle that brute if a fight
breaks out?
âQuintus, you are being unreasonable. I have already declined your
challenge, yet you keep pestering me about it!â Emmanuel had truly lost his
temper now. âI have tolerated your persistence when you pursued my wife,
but if you continue to harass and bother us, donât blame me for not holding
back against you!â
âHaha! I want you to go all out at me!â Quintus suddenly lit up. âSo, have you
finally decided to fight me?â
Emmanuel sighed again. âYouâre mistaken. Iâve already said that this isnât a
good place for a brawl.â
âWhatâs so bad about it?â
âHave you ever seen skilled fighters monologuing away before a duel?â
âNo, not really.â
âExactly. True experts have style. They coldly exchange a few words and then
start fighting. Thatâs the conduct of a true expert!â
.
âWell said!â Quintus agreed with Emmanuelâs point. âWeâve been talking for so
long. If we start fighting now, we will look like two old ladies at a market
bickering before they start throwing punches!â
âYouâre absolutely right! So, letâs cancel the duel!â Emmanuel immediately
turned around to leave after he said that.
âHey, wait!â
Even though Quintus wanted to stop him, he couldnât find a reason to do so
at that moment.
Oh well, we are going to stay here for a few days anyway. Emmanuel wonât
be able to get away from me!
Mackenzie found it amusing. In Quintusâ presence, Emmanuel seemed
surprisingly clever for being able to subdue the other with his intelligence.
She was actually tired of being pursued relentlessly by Quintus, but she
enjoyed watching Quintus bug Emmanuel.
After all, two morons meeting would always end up in comedy.
As she was worried that someone might see them together, she didnât join
Emmanuel for a stroll in the mountains.
She and Emmanuel only came here this time after being coerced by
Terence. She still didnât want to make their relationship public.
Although she was mostly convinced that Emmanuel didnât marry her for
money or out of lust, she still wasnât completely confident about this
marriage!
There was still time for her to observe him carefully.
Soon, Emmanuel received a call from the organizer, Hubert. âHey, come back
to the hotel quickly. There will be an exciting group game in the hotel
banquet hall at 7.00PM tonight!â
âAn exciting game?â Emmanuel repeated with a frown on his face.
He thought that everything about this trip was fine except for the seemingly
unreliable organizer.
Hubert the Bootlicker was even more annoying than Quintus!
âAll you have to know is that itâs a group activity, so make sure you participate
on time!â
Hubert couldnât be bothered with wasting his time talking to Emmanuel. After
all, who would be interested in conversing with a dead man walking?
