Chapter 1644
“Are you ready to make a move?” Envoy asked. He had assisted the chairman
of the Chamber of Commerce in killing numerous adversaries. Still, such
deeds were now mere routine for him.
Levi shook his head and cautioned in a hushed tone, “Let’s not rush into
anything. The organizers have heightened security measures, and it could
spell trouble if we’re caught.”
Though they were under the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, they
weren’t impervious, particularly in Nuthana’s territory. Should tensions
escalate, retreat would be their only recourse.
The award ceremony concluded swiftly, followed by a morning celebration
banquet hosted by the Quillen family.
The hosts would organize a champion parade at 8 a.m. the following day,
during which the Quillen family would bask in the adoration of tens of
thousands on Badlands Island.

“Cheers!”
“Haha, this feeling is amazing!”
“I’m a Quillen forever. Even in the afterlife, I’ll be one!*
“I love my family, especially Emmanuel!”
The celebratory banquet for the Quillen family was held at the organizers‘
hotel. Surprisingly, the most enthusiastic attendees were not Mackenzie and
Emmanuel but Beatrix, Shane, Frederick, and Logan.
Sage was secretly thrilled as well, but for Emmanuel, winning the Nuthana
Grand Martial Showdown championship wasn’t earth–shattering. After all,
te were
Emmanuel’s past more impressive.
“Emmanuel, join me for a toast. Let’s have a drink together.”
Beatrix bubbled with excitement as she persistently urged him to join her.
With Mackenzie abstaining due to her pregnancy, Beatrix saw it as her duty to
make up for the lack of drinking.

He felt obligated and reluctantly agreed to indulge Beatrix. Surprisingly, she
had a low alcohol tolerance. After just a few drinks, she was completely
intoxicated and slumped on the couch.
“Frederick, why don’t you take Beatrix back to her room to rest!” Mackenzie
suggested. She had confidence in Frederick’s character.
“Sure thing, Ms. Quillen,” he responded.
“I want to help too!” Shane rushed over anxiously.
Mackenzie placed her trust in Frederick but harbored doubts about Shane.

Frederick was Shane’s closest friend yet also his foremost romantic rival. They
supported Beatrix’s stumbling form and guided her back to her room.
“What are you doing? Let me go. I still want to have a drink with Emmanuel,”
Beatrix protested. Though intoxicated, she flailed her arms and reddened
their cheeks with her slaps. Even her petite feet swung out to deliver kicks and
pushed them away.

“Ms. Beatrix, you’ve had a bit much. Let’s get you back to rest,” Shane
suggested. He felt embarrassed about being so close to his goddess.

In contrast, Frederick made another attempt to guide her away.
Unbeknownst to them, Beatrix’s drunken frenzy intensified and shoved
Frederick aside.
“Get lost! You guys are annoying. I have feelings for Emmanuel, so quit
pestering me! No matter what, I won’t like any of you!”
With those words, the lively atmosphere was abruptly chilled by Beatrix’s loud
outburst.
Several aunts stood in stunned silence as they alternated their bewildered
glances between Beatrix and Mackenzie.
Emmanuel, too, felt a surge of panic. Who would have guessed that Beatrix
had such a low tolerance for alcohol and would blurt out such nonsense
when drunk? With her confession so brazenly voiced, the situation became

increasingly difficult to manage.
Feeling deeply embarrassed, Frederick awkwardly rubbed his nose. Unlike
Shane, Frederick didn’t indulge in daydreams or consider himself worthy of
Beatrix’s affection. He had never confessed his feelings. Now, with her
unexpected revelation, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
However, Shane remained unfazed and less affected by such circumstances.
Sensing the change in mood, he promptly ushered Beatrix away. “Um… Ms.
Quillen, we’ll leave now. I’ll take care of Ms. Beatrix.”
Frederick sighed inwardly and quickly left the awkward scene. Beatrix’s
drunken confession had swiftly doused the celebratory mood of the banquet.

Mackenzie, known for her generosity, maintained her composure and flashed
a smile at the remaining guests as if nothing had happened. “I’m sure
everyone is
Let’s take a break for a few hours and reconvene
tomorrow!”
The festivities ended abruptly.

Emmanuel escorted Mackenzie back to their room, and they saw Gautier
waiting for them.
“Mackenzie, Emmanuel, congratulations!” he greeted them with a relaxed
smile.
Emmanuel and Mackenzie exchanged a wa
