Love At The Wrong Table

A Closer Final

In previous years, it was rare for a tribe to surrender without a fight in the championship

tournament. This year, the stakes were even higher, as the losing tribe would either

become slaves or be thrown into the dungeon. A loss signified the downfall of a power

on Dark Night Island.

However, as the tournament progressed, it became apparent that losing to the Black

Wolf Team was not as devastating as expected. In fact, it was more like joining a larger

‘family.‘ This realization, coupled with the overwhelming strength of the Black Wolf

Team, led some tribes to choose surrender over battle.

Yasmine, ever perceptive, saw beyond the immediate circumstances. She was acutely

aware of the dramatic changes sweeping across Dark Night Island recently. The most

significant change was in the people’s hearts

At this moment, Yasmine couldn’t help but stare at Emmanuel, regretting that she had

underestimated his influence. She had hoped to turn him into a lone wolf for the

Airspace Group, but he had become a wolf king with the power to bring down the

organization.

Yasmine then stepped towards the center of the arena and loudly declared, “Since the

other tribes have surrendered to the Ophanim Clan and the Black Wolf Team, I hereby

announce the cancellation of the remaining matches. The final will be held here in two

days!”

What? The final in two days?

This announcement sent shockwaves through the crowd.

The final was being advanced!

Even Emmanuel hadn’t anticipated this. It meant he could potentially unify Dark Night

Island sooner but would have less time to persuade everyone to resist the Airspace

Group. It was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

But he had an agreement with Yasmine to adhere to the rules until the end of the

tournament. With the other tribes surrendering, advancing to the final was a logical part

of the competition.

Yasmine gave Emmanuel a meaningful look before leaving the scene.

Rhett Flynn also glanced at Emmanuel as he left the central region. His eyes were filled

with complexity.

Even if Emmanuel wanted to speak with Rhett, he knew this wasn’t the right place. With

“Let’s go back!” Emmanuel commanded, leading a large group back to the Black Wolf

Team’s territory.

The Black Wolf Team’s camp was becoming increasingly lively!

The allied forces were growing stronger and stronger!

In contrast to the bustling Black Wolf camp, the tower in the central region, the power

center of Dark Night Island, was becoming increasingly desolate.

“Bring her up!” Yasmine coldly ordered upon returning to the tower.

“Yes, ma’am!”

Shortly after, a frail woman was brought in. Her face was tear–stained, her expression

dejected, and her eyes full of fear.

“Tell me what happened. How is it that Mr. Emmanuel is still so vigorous? Is he an

terror.

“Ms. Morgan, I… I did put the powder you gave me into the food of everyone in the

Black Wolf Team. I don’t know anything beyond that…”

Aqua insisted on her innocence, and she was telling the truth.

Yasmine could tell and sneered as she stood up, lifting Aqua’s chin with a smile that,

despite its beauty, sent chills down Aqua’s spine.

“Your mother has been brought here. Would you like to see her?” Yasmine asked.

“Don’t harm my mother! She’s innocent!” Aqua cried out in horror.

Smack!

elegant demeanor.

“She is a member of the Airspace Group and should be serving the organization! Since

you failed, we have no choice but to execute her!” Yasmine threatened through gritted

teeth.

“No! Please don’t!” Aqua crawled on the floor, desperately begging. “Kill me if you must,

but leave my mother out of this!”

Yasmine scrutinized her, ensuring fear had seeped deep into her bones, then gently

lifted her chin again. “I don’t want to kill anyone, especially someone we’ve trained so

carefully. It’s such a waste. Since you’ve had merits in the past, I’ll give you another

chance.”
