The High Stakes of Freedom and the Lo
As the price for his failure, Victor had to relinquish
80%
his position as the family head and hand over three
of the Lannister family’s legendary manuals to his
younger brother.
One was the Parallel Palm.
Another was the Big Dipper.
And the third was the Dragon Tome.
However, Victor only handed over two of the
manuals and claimed that the Dragon Tome was
lost.
In a fit of rage, Eric, together with other branches of
the Lannister family, sought to eradicate Victor’s
The High Stakes of Freedom and the Lo
faction completely.
The once mighty Victor fell, and his son and
daughter were also hunted down, as people
suspected he had given the last manual to his
children.

Had it not been for Freya intervening and rescuing
the siblings, Xarri and Quell would certainly have
been killed by their own family members!
“I remember!” Xarri said, nodding seriously. “I’ll
never forget how you saved our lives!”
“Then why are you now joining forces with those
rebels against me?” Freya demanded, her anger
rising as she slammed her fist on the armrest of her
chair, causing her purple robe to flutter with her

fury.
Even so, Xarri continued to nod.
“Why?”
Freya was puzzled. “I went to great lengths to make
you the top assassin. With your talent and physical
prowess, you were perfectly suited for the role. All
you had to do was sincerely agree to serve me,
and I could have preserved your will and granted
you endless honor and wealth! Why refuse? Why
choose to become a prisoner instead?”
“That’s because…” Xarri paused and then bitterly
smiled. “Like Emmanuel, I crave freedom! Without
freedom, everything is just a mirage.”

“Heh…” Freya sneered. She truly couldn’t understand
the importance of freedom, so she couldn’t grasp
these two men’s choices.
“So, what are you here for now?”
After her sneer, she fixed her gaze on Xarri.
“I’m here to ask you to let us go. If you agree, I’ll help
you with one task free of charge, no matter what it
is!” Xarri said earnestly, but Freya’s only response
was another cold laugh.
Her smile was tinged with disdain; she hadn’t
expected the former leader of the Black Wolf Team
and the undisputed king of Dark Night Islands to
make such a ridiculous request!

Xarri sighed, already knowing Freya’s response.
“From your expression, I guess you already know
the answer, don’t you?” Freya said coldly.
Freya asked coldly.
Xarri nodded.
“Do you have anything else to say?”
She asked again, her gaze growing increasingly
wary and aggressive.
“Yes!” He said seriously. “I’d like to request a few
pointers from you!”
She smiled silently, her beautiful eyes reflecting
wisdom. “Trying to exhaust my stamina to help

Emmanuel?”
Xarri nodded. Acknowledging that he couldn’t
deceive her, he didn’t see the need to lie.
“Advice is fine. But I’ll warn you in advance, you
might leave here with your life in jeopardy!”
Freya spoke frankly. “Since you’ve chosen to side
with the enemy of the Airspace Group, I’ll have no
choice but to eliminate you!”
Xarri sighed deeply. “I have no grudge against
Torris; I really don’t want to be your enemy!”
He firmly believed that his difference with Freya
was just a matter of differing identities and values,
which shouldn’t be a matter of life or death.

“Stop talking nonsense! Anyone who comes here
cannot be considered an ally; they are my enemy!”
Freya declared, slamming her palm down and
unleashing a torrent of flames that engulfed Xarri.
Xarri was horrified!
With such power, he feared he might not be able to
withstand it!
On the battlefield atop the tower, no one knew the
outcome. Even the Alliance forces were unaware of
the earth–shattering battle taking place.
The Airspace Group made no move, while the allied forces took a day to reorganize their five units.

Emmanuel even allowed everyone a night’s rest to
recharge. The next day, they would regroup and
confront the Airspace Group for the final
showdown!
“Emmanuel, Claudette and I will be waiting for your
return here!”
Last night, Mackenzie had nestled in Emmanuel’s
embrace, spending the most beautiful and fleeting
time of the past month in the Black Wolf Team’s
accommodations.
As dawn approached and they had to part ways,
this strong and aloof woman did not express
reluctance but instead encouraged her husband
with decisive resolve. “Both the child and I believe in
you. You will achieve the final victory and bring us
The High Stakes of Freedom and the Lo
back to Yeringham!”
