Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Love at the 2026

Chapter 2026

“Alright, Rose, recite it for me,” Emmanuel said, tapping his fingers casually on

the chair.

Roselynn began to recite the Dragon Tome, but halfway through, Emmanuel suddenly stopped her. “Rose, I can’t remember all of this just from hearing it. How about you write it down for me later when you get the chance?”

“Sure,” Roselynn nodded in agreement. “Manny, what do you think–do you

believe this technique is real?”

“It should be,” Emmanuel replied thoughtfully. “Let me test the first part to

confirm.”

“Okay.” Roselynn nodded, her face lighting up with excitement. Julian, too,

was eager–what man doesn’t dream of mastering martial arts?

Without warning, Emmanuel threw a punch into the air. The force of it

shattered a vase across the office into pieces.

“Wow, that’s incredible!” Roselynn exclaimed.

Julian stood there, stunned, and stammered, “There’s actually such a thing

as air punch?!”

Emmanuel smiled and explained, “Julian, this isn’t some ordinary air–punch

technique–it’s the power of the Dragon Tome! If fully mastered, my internal

strength could be several times stronger than it is now. It’s almost invincible!”

Julian was ecstatic. “If even you say it’s unbeatable, then it truly must be. Roselynn, you better write it down quickly for Emmanuel. Once he’s invincible

no one will dare lay a finger on you ever again!”

“Absolutely!” Roselynn was just as excited, her eyes sparkling with

anticipation.

Emmanuel glanced at his watch and said, “I’ve got to run, Rose,” Emmanuel

said, checking his watch. “I’ve got other important things to take care of. I’ll

send someone to protect you. If there’s an emergency, contact me

immediately. I’ll send you my new private number.”

“Got it! If Gwain Lannister dares to cause trouble again, we’ll settle both old

and new scores with him!” Roselynn replied, her voice filled with resentment.

Emmanuel nodded, then quickly left the office. Roselynn and Julian followed

him out as well.

Unbeknownst to them, Gautier had discreetly ordered the surveillance tapes

of their entire conversation to be recorded.

“So, it’s the real Dragon Tome…” Gautier muttered to himself. “Looks like I’ve

got even more leverage to manipulate Gwain Lannister now.”

On the other side of town, Gwain Lannister had been on edge ever since

returning to Zovince. Failing to recover the Dragon Tome had left the elders of

the family disappointed in him.

Of course, the full extent of his failure was not yet known. The elders didn’t realize that Gwain had been repeatedly defeated in martial contests by Santiago and Yorick and that he had later avoided a one–on–one fight with Emmanuel. If those details became public, his reputation within the Lannister

family would plummet even further.

His father, Eric, was set to emerge from his seclusion soon, and Gwain had no

idea how to face him. Before entering seclusion, his father had made Gwain

promise to retrieve the Dragon Tome for the family. In return, Eric publicly

declared that if Gwain succeeded, he would officially appoint him as the heir

apparent to the Lannister family. Now, with his failure, the other family

members eyeing the position of leadership would surely start making their

moves.

“Mr. Gwain, bad news!” Hank suddenly burst into Gwain’s room, bringing him

more distressing news.

“Yorick Dotson has already defeated all the grandmasters in Nuthana. He’s now heading toward the eastern region of Chanaea with the goal of defeating the top martial artists there. He’s announced that after defeating the eight grandmasters of Zovince, he will challenge the Lannister family! If

the patriarch hasn’t emerged from seclusion by then, you’ll have to repres

the family in the fight!”

This was indeed bad news. Upon hearing Hank’s report, Gwain slammed his

teacup onto the table, splashing tea everywhere in frustration.

“Mr. Gwain, you’ve got to replace a way to regain your strength and restore your

reputation,” Hank said in a hushed tone. “The other branches of the Lannister

family are all vying for the position of heir apparent. Even Wyatt Lannister has

been called back by his father, likely planning something. The

disappointment among the elders regarding your recent failures is growing.

You have to defeat Yorick and take back control of Chanaea’s martial arts

scene. If you succeed, no one will dare challenge your right to lead the

Lannister family!”

It was well known that the Lannister family’s enduring success stemmed from

their unshakable position at the pinnacle of Chanaea’s martial arts world. Their reputation brought them immense influence and economic benefits, further solidifying their power. But now, with Yorick from Shoiya making an

aggressive challenge, if the Lannister family failed to defeat him and restore

Chanaea’s martial arts honor, their reputation–which propped up the e

family–could plummet overnight.

Owain had grown up in an environment where prestige and fame were

valued above all olso–more than wealth, women, or even life itself. The

thought of his martial prowess no longer upholding that supreme status was

causing him unbearable stress.

“Mr. Gwain, are you in there?” came a servant’s voice from outside the room.

Hank Sheridan immediately fell silent.

“What is it?” Gwain responded coldly.

“There’s someone named Gautier Verkade here to see you,” the servant

answered.

“Gautier Verkade?” Gwain furrowed his brow and snorted dismissively, “Who is

that? I don’t know him.”

“Shall I send him away then, Mr. Gwain?” the servant said, preparing to walk

away.

“Wait!” Hank quickly interjected. He leaned in and whispered to Gwain, “Mr.

Gwain, Gautier Verkade is a figure from Yeringham, and there’s a rumor that

he’s Teddy Tanner’s spy within the Quillen family.”

“So what? That has nothing to do with me,” Gwain replied dismissively, his

tone still cold. “I’m not wasting my time on some nobody.”

“Mr. Gwain, you can’t be so dismissive!” Hank urged, visibly anxious. “I’ve heard

branch office in Zovince, giving him significant access to Emmanuel and his

sister. If he’s coming here uninvited, he likely has something important to

discuss that directly involves you.”

Gwain’s interest was piqued when Hank mentioned Emmanuel and his sister.

“Fine, bring him into the main hall. I’ll see what he wants.”

“Right away, Mr. Gwain!” Hank hurried out to relay the message.

Gwain deliberately took his time, strolling out only after making Gautier wait

for a while. Meanwhile, Gautier remained calm, casually sipping his tea in the

hall. When Gwain finally appeared, Gautier pretended not to notice him at

first, continuing his relaxed demeanor.

“So, you’re Gautier Verkade?” Gwain, proud as ever, couldn’t help but be the

one to speak first, though his tone was laced with displeasure. If not for

Gautier’s connections to Teddy and the Lowe siblings, Gwan would’t have

even bothered acknowledging him.

“Ah, you must be Mr. Gwain!” Gautier finally stood up, setting down his

teacup

With a respectful tone, he offered some flattery, “The Southern Lannister truly

lives up to his reputation. I’ve long admired you!*

“Hmph, spare me the nonsense,” Gwain snapped, though he secretly enjoyed

the compliment. He continued to feign arrogance. “What do you want? I’m c

busy man. You’ve got one minute to say something interesting, or you can

leave.”

“One minute?” Gautier blinked in surprise, realizing just how arrogant Gwain

was. This guy is insufferable, he thought to himself.

Gwain and Hank both sneered, thinking Gautier was starting to panic. But to
