Emmanuel was still out late that night, preoccupied with Ethan’s election

affairs, when he suddenly received a call from Sage.

“Boss, someone just broke into the house in the dead of night and tried to

abduct your sister.”

“What? How is she now?” Emmanuel asked, alarmed, quickly moving to a

secluded area to respond.

“There were only two of them, and we’ve already subdued them, Sage

reassured.

Relieved, Emmanuel asked, “Did you find out who they are?”

“They’re not talking,” Sage replied. “No matter how much we tortured them,

they refused to say anything. But I did find the Lannister family’s insignia on

them.”

Many people knew that the Lannister family had a lot of retainers and

servants. They came from all over, drawn by their passion for martial arts,

and willingly joined the Lannister family. Once they did, they were given an

identification badge. The badges differed depending on their rank within the

household.

Emmanuel had studied the Lannister family after arriving in Zovince, so he

immediately asked, “What rank were they?”

“Third–class martial servants,” Sage answered.

Emmanuel furrowed his brows, three thoughts running through his mind: First,

ow that Roselynn’s location was compromised, it was time to find her a

better hiding place.

“Boss, your sister wants to speak with you too,” Sage added.

“Alright,” Emmanuel agreed, and soon he heard Roselynn’s voice on the other

end. “Manny, I can’t keep living like this. The Lannisters are always after me. I

can’t hide from them forever.”

Emmanuel let out a bitter chuckle. “You’re right.”

“I need to live my life too. I want to keep growing my Quillenrose brand. I want

stress of constantly hiding. “Manny, I’m going out tomorrow. I found a great

spot online in Zone 3–a shop I want to rent. It’s in a good location, and the

rice is reasonable. I’m going to check it out and start my business again!”

Emmanuel checked Ethan’s schedule, worried about his sister’s safety. “I’ll go

with you tomorrow. If I can’t make it, I’ll send someone to protect you.”

“Sounds good!” Roselynn replied cheerfully. She felt warm inside, knowing her

brother was looking out for her, even with his busy schedule.

After ending the call, Emmanuel found a quiet spot and pulled out the

Dragon Tome Roselynn had written down for him. That night, he would test it

and see if it was the real deal.

His body surged with energy as he began his first practice, but something felt

off. Could it be fake? he wondered. For an ordinary person, training with this

tome would undoubtedly boost their strength, likely advancing them to

S–level instantly. But the tome offered little benefit for someone like

Emmanuel, who was already a powerful fighter with deep internal strength.

At least in terms of combat, it made no noticeable improvement.

Emmanuel tried several more times, practicing until early morning, but still

saw no real progress. His martial arts talent was beyond question–even

Santiago and the Northern Region General had both called him a

once–in–a–lifetime genius. Yet, he couldn’t help but wonder, Did I practice this

wrong?

After carefully reviewing everything again, he concluded that he hadn’t. The

technique itself wasn’t flawed–it was simply incomplete.

That’s it! It wasn’t a full version. While it helped cultivate powerful internal

strength, it didn’t provide the key to fully unleashing that strength.

“Did the hidden Summerton family do this on purpose?” Emmanuel couldn’t

help but speculate. But what would be the point of giving him an incomplete

version? He couldn’t figure it out.

Just then, his phone rang–it was Roselynn.

“Manny, are you ready to head out?” her voice came through.

“Alright!” Emmanuel responded without hesitation. Ever since their mother

passed, he had been especially protective of his sister. He was determined to

keep her safe and ensure she lived a happy life.

They soon arrived at a large shopping center in Zone 3. The place was

bustling with people, and since it was a high–end area, nearly everyone was

dressed in expensive attire, clearly belonging to the upper class, Zovince was

a magnet for Chanaea’s elites, and this district was where many of them

gathered.

“There it is!” Roselynn said as she led Emmanuel to a storefront.

Emmanuel was pleasantly surprised. The shop was large, much bigger than

the one she had back in Yeringham. It seemed his sister had ambitious plans.

But oddly enough, while the surrounding shops were lively and bustling, this

Chapter 2052 The Incomplete Tome

one was eerily quiet, with very few items on display inside.

The previous owners, a young couple dressed in fine clothes but with tired,

defeated expressions, greeted Roselynn as she approached. Their eyes held

a glimmer of hope, but not much.

“Hello, I’m Roselynn Lowe–the one who contacted you online about

purchasing the store,” Roselynn introduced herself, extending her hand to the

woman.

“Hello, Ms. Lowe, I’m Dee Dee, and this is my husband, Yuri,” the woman said

After confirming identities, Dee Dee got straight to the point. “Ms. Lowe, this

store has a market value of over nine million, but we’re willing to sell it to you

for just four million. The contract is ready. You can take a look and see if there

are any issues.”

“Alright, I’ll take a look,” Roselynn replied, accepting the contract. As she read

through it, her eyes widened in astonishment.

“What’s wrong, Roselynn? Is there an issue?” Emmanuel asked, concerned.

The price seemed too good to be true, and he worried someone might be

trying to scam her.

“There is an issue!” she exclaimed, but the young couple’s faces fell with a

sigh. Then she turned to Emmanuel with excitement. “It’s too good to be true

The terms are so favorable; it’s like they’re giving it to me! How could I not

take it?”

Emmanuel quickly skimmed through the contract and saw she was right. Th

couple was clearly in a rush to sell.

“Is there something wrong with this store?” he asked, his tone firm. “We can

pay you immediately, but if there’s an issue, you’d better tell me now. If any

problems arise and come back to bite my sister, I won’t let it slide. Don’t

doubt for a second that I have the means to deal with it.”

The couple exchanged nervous glances, clearly sensing that Emmanuel

wasn’t bluffing. His warning sent a shiver down their spines.

Finally, Dee Dee sighed. “We’ve offended someone, and we can’t stay here

“Who did you offend so badly?” Roselynn asked, following up on the clue.

“Forget it! It’s not worth discussing. If you don’t want to buy the shop, we don’t

want to drag you into this mess,” Yuri said, waving it off.

“Well, the more you say that, the more I want to buy it!” Roselynn laughed.

Emmanuel didn’t object. At first, he had thought this might be some kind of

shady business with illegal dealings. But if the only issue was that the couple

had gotten on the wrong side of someone, buying the store wouldn’t involve

them in any wrongdoing. As the saying goes, “Every debt has its debtor,
