Chapter 1619
In contrast to the Chapman family’s approach, the Quillen family adhered to
the arrangements set by the Nuthana Martial Arts Association, opting to take
a car back to their hotel.
Due to the need to wait for these arrangements, their itinerary was less
flexible and swift compared to that of the Chapman family and the Zelinsky
family.
After a brief wait, the group boarded the car and returned to the hotel.
Despite the wait, the atmosphere remained cheerful. After all, they had
successfully secured a spot in the top 8.
In the eyes of Mackenzie’s aunties, even if they didn’t ultimately win the
championship, the Quillen family had already gained significant prestige.
Their performance served as a reminder to Nuthana that Yeringham was not
to be underestimated!
As the car approached the hotel, the Quillen family was taken aback by the
unexpected sight. The hotel entrance as swarming with people, creating a

chaotic scene.
Curious and concerned, they strained to hear the source of the commotion.
Suddenly, Nathan’s furious voice cut through the crowd.
“Investigate! You must thoroughly investigate this!” he thundered. “Otherwise,
I, Nathan Chapman, will never let it rest!” His anger reverberated, echoing his
determination.
But that wasn’t all. Nathan’s frustration spilled over. “This is going too far!” he
continued. “Do they think my Chapman family’s wealth of several hundred
billion isn’t worth considering? Or do they think we’re pushovers?”
Emmanuel, sensing the tension, swiftly guided Mackenzie out of the car.
Shane and Frederick cleared a path, allowing the Quillen family members to
reach the heart of the crowd.
And there, in the midst of the chaos, they witnessed a shocking scene..
Luna Moone, who had just shaken hands with Emmanuel, was found lying
motionless on the floor and had been shot in the head!

Emmanuel’s sharp eyes assessed the situation with clarity. The assassin had
wielded an FR–F2 sniper rifle, lying in ambush at the hotel entrance. As soon
as Luna stepped out of the car, the shot rang out!
The suddenness of the attack left everyone stunned. “I can’t believe it!” Shane
exclaimed urgently. “Quick, protect Emmanuel!” The Quillen family members
were on edge, sensing that the attack seemed specifically targeted at the
advancing contestants.
Emmanuel, caught in a paradox, appreciated everyone’s protective instincts.
Yet, their close proximity made them vulnerable in a way that a sniper could
easily lock onto their area. However, his keen battlefield intuition, honed as
the Wolf Warrior, told him that no assassins lingered nearby. The killer must
have already vanished from the scene. The situation was dire. The
quarter–finals had taken an unexpected turn, and the stakes were higher
than ever.
Despite the tense atmosphere, Nathan’s words hung heavy in the air like a
foreboding omen. “Ms, Quillen,” Nathan walked over and said to Mackenzie.
He left out a few coughs while continuing his lines. “This is a lesson from the
Chapter 1619 Luna Moone Was Assassinated
past. You must protect your husband well, or else you’ll become a widow.
Even so, I’ll still take good care of you!”
The first half of the sentence had been touching, a reminder of vulnerability
and love. But the second half, which was the ominous promise, had obviously
sent shivers down her spine.
Nathan’s gaze flickered toward the shadows, as if expecting an unseen
threat. His master’s presence loomed nearby, and Nathan knew better than
to underestimate the danger. He sighed, a weight settling on his shoulders,
and gestured for the rest to follow him into the hotel.
Together, Emmanuel and Mackenzie also stepped into the hotel lobby.
The members of the Martial Arts Association stood guard at the entrance,
their eyes sharp and vigilant. They were assigned a new task of investigating
this matter and enhancing hotel security.
These incidents were not uncommon during peak tournaments.
Chapter 1619 Luna Moone Was Assassinated
The coveted title of Grandmaster brought immense benefits like power,
wealth and influence. But where there were rewards, there were also
desperate measures. Unethical methods lurked in the shadows, waiting to
eliminate rivals.
In an unexpected twist, Luna, being an unparalleled expert, met his demise
from a bullet no larger than a peanut. The shock rippled through the ranks,
defying logic and expectation.
As the saying goes: Even the best fall down sometimes. In this high–stakes
game, anything was possible. This rhymed with Alistril’s quote “Everything
could happen!”
Meanwhile, within the opulent confines of an exclusive hotel room, Envoy
Azure, disheveled and discreet, approached Levi Lestrange. “Mr. Lestrange,
the deed has been done. The person is dead.” In a barely audible voice, he
delivered the news.
“Good job!” Levi’s response was succinct.

Yet, beneath his praise lay a seed of suspicion. The operation went smoothly
and flawlessly. He commanded a cadre of capable individuals, each skilled in
their own right. To doubt their success based on its flawless execution would
be an insult to their competence.
Envoy Azure leaned closer, his question a whisper. “Do we need to eliminate
the fake Wolf Warrior as well as Emmanuel?” The stakes had escalated, and
Levi weighed the consequences.
The room held its breath. Mr. Lestrange leaned back in his chair with fingers.
steepled. His mind churned with calculated precision. “Give the organizers
respect,” he mused aloud, his voice a low murmur. “If only one person dies,
they’ll conduct a thorough investigation. But if two lives are extinguished,
they’ll lock down the entire island and hunt for the culprit relentlessly.”
Envoy Azure stood by the window and nodded in silent accord.
“And honestly,” Mr. Lestrange continued, “I don’t believe that fake Wolf Warrior
is the real deal. Too flashy, too eager for the spotlight. Real strength doesn’t
announce itself. It should move like a shadow and strike like a viper.”

“Indeed, I certainly agreed with your wise words, Mr. Lestrange,” Envoy
concurred, his voice a low murmur in the room.
The fake Wolf Warrior might have deceived some novices or those who are
easily fooled. But we’re all top experts with keen insight. All of us can certainly
see through it.
Mr. Lestrange leaned back, his fingers tracing patterns on the armrest. “As for
Emmanuel,” he mused, “let’s observe whether he can successfully overcome
his battle with Eshal Silverbane. Even if he reaches the finals, the odds of an
S–level expert like him falling to Yosef are alarmingly high.” His eyes gleamed
with calculated wisdom. “Intervention would be futile.”
