Chapter 659

Soon after leaving from the south gate of the Lenoir residence, Emmanuel felt

movement from Claudette, who was in his arms.

“Claudette! Claudette, are you finally awake?”

The night sky was beautiful that night, and through the dappled light filtering

through the trees, Emmanuel saw Claudette’s eyelids fluttering.

The next moment, Claudette slowly opened her eyes and checked out the

surroundings.

She didn’t ask where they were but instead furrowed her brows slightly,

saying, “Emmanuel, have you… have you taken me away from the Lenoir

residence? W–We can’t take this route, though!”

“What…” Emmanuel was stumped. “Why?”

“Water… I want to drink some water first…”

Claudette’s throat was a little hoarse, and her lips were dry. It was evident

that the nurses who had been looking after her had been very negligent. In

another sense, they were also competent.

Being a thoughtful doctor, it had occurred to Emmanuel that Claudette might

want water as soon as she woke up and had prepared a bottle of water for

her in advance.

After taking a few sips, Claudette sounded much clearer. “You know… this

house is a military facility… don’t you?”

Emmanuel nodded in affirmation.

Although there was still a considerable gap compared to the fortress–style

mansions he had seen during his missions in the Northern Region, this

mansion in Yeringham was undoubtedly the most professional military

building.

“The main entrance of the Lenoir residence is in the north, bordering the main

road of Yeringham’s city center. The east and west gates have small paths

that lead directly to the military barracks in Yeringham. Only this southern

gate… it’s a dead end!”

“What?!” An ominous feeling immediately arose within Emmanuel.

“It’s true. If you continue a short distance ahead, you’ll see cliffs…” Claudette

continued.

Emmanuel no longer wanted to find out if there were cliffs ahead. He

immediately held Claudette in his arms and started to head back.

Meanwhile, his uneasiness grew. He was already well aware of how terrifying

these enemies were. They had calculated every step, leading him and

Claudette to this place.

Claudette, on the other hand, smiled happily despite looking pallid, nestling in

Emmanuel’s arms.

Oh, how she wished Emmanuel could keep holding her as they walked on this

path. Unfortunately, the feeling of happiness was always so fleeting.

Emmanuel stopped after only a few steps and slowly started backing up.

A young man pushed his glasses up and approached them with a few

people, step by step. They were mostly familiar faces to Emmanuel.

“Happy holidays, Emmanuel,” said Magnus with a smile.

If one didn’t know him, one would think he was a mild–mannered scholar

wishing his friend a happy holiday.

At that, Emmanuel smiled plainly. “It has indeed been a pretty good holiday

for me until you showed up, that is.”

“Ouch, that hurt.” Magnus continued wearing an innocent smile. “I’ve put a lot

of effort into seeing you on New Year’s.”

“You have, indeed.” Emmanuel nodded in acknowledgment. “This is probably

also where you most wanted to see me, right?”

“It is,” Magnus answered candidly. “Don’t blame Ms. Laura for this. The future

and fate of her man are in the hands of the Zelinsky family. If she didn’t

cooperate, her general wouldn’t be a general anymore.”

Emmanuel remained silent, and Magnus continued after pushing his glasses,

“If it were you, for the sake of your beloved, would you also be willing to do

things that’ll hurt others?”

Emmanuel pondered for a moment and nodded earnestly. “I once killed

Tobias Lenoir for the sake of my beloved. Today, perhaps I will kill others for

another important person.”

Claudette suddenly smiled even brighter, happier, as she continued nestling

in Emmanuel’s arms.
