Chapter 2160 Inviting Emsgate Onboard
Matthew left the manor with a heavy heart.
Just as he was about to get into his car, a familiar figure slowly approached him. "Madam Quirk?"
He was surprised to see her. He didn't expect to meet Layna here, of all places. Nevertheless, he inhaled deeply
and compartmentalized his emotions before forcing a smile on his face.
"I haven't thanked you in person for your aid, Madam Quirk. | want to use this opportunity to sincerely thank you
for your help," Matthew said warmly. Naturally, Leanna had already informed him about their collaboration with
Creative Cloud Spray.
"It's nothing, Leanna and | are family, after all. So, it only makes sense forto help her out." she waved him
off dismissively with a lighthearted smile. Meanwhile, Matthew was surprised to hear this piece of information.
Leanna was related to Layna. It seemed Layna was part of the Sandels' branch family. This was the first the
was ever informed about such an interesting factoid.

Regardless, Layna didn't give him tto ponder over the matter as she immediately explained the purpose of
her visit, "Master Levi askedto send you a message. He said that an old friend invited them to a meeting at
sea. He wants to bring you along to meet them."
This piqued Matthew's interest, and he asked, "On the seas? Did Master Levi say who the other party is?"
She responded calmly, "King of Rivenia, Martin Newmont." When Matthew heard that response, he was
astonished. Back then in Woodside, he had a discussion with Ambrose regarding the forces that destroyed the
Larson Family. This man, Martin Newmont, was one of them. So, he immediately agreed to Levi's invitation
without hesitation.
On the other hand, Martin received the news that was causing an uproar throughout Emsgate almost
immediately.
"The forces from Emsgate are about to arrive. You will be responsible for them during their stay here!" Orlaith,
who was called to the office earlier, instantly responded affirmatively.
Now that she was nothing but a marionette in his hands, she didn't have a choice but to comply. Plus, after she
overheard gossip that several forces within Emsgate would be in attendance today, she had othe plans in mind.
If she could curry favors from these powerhouses, killing Matthew would be as easy as ABC. Maybe she could
even use that chance to escape from Martin's palm. As she thought of this, she discreetly sneaked a look at the
man.
Yet, to her fright, the man had been looking at her calmly with a strange smile playing on his lips. Could he have
read my mind? When she thought about that, she couldn't help but shudder.
Hence, she felt no need to linger in his office any longer. So, she excused herself and left the room hastily. This
man was just too scary.
By the tthe dinner banquet on the battleship was ready, several great forces that received Martin's invitation
soon boarded his battleship.
When Manager Baeddan saw her, he couldn't help but blurt, "Orlaith, what are you doing here?" According to the
Baeddan Family's rules, she should've returned hto plead guilty and receive her punishment by now.
Whereas Orlaith was composed when she caught sight of the manager. That was because she had imagined

Baeddan, I'm afraid that on my way back, | was attacked by pirates. Fortunately, Mr. Newmont saved me. So, |
decided to help him escort the Elites from the Land of Divinity to his ship as payment." When Manager Baeddan
heard her story, he didn't think to delve into it. He just shook his head in disappointment and sighed, "Pirate
attack? Miss Orlaith Baeddan, you really don't know how to do anything yourself."
Orlaith waited for him to leave as she stood there with contempt in her bloodshot eyes. She had always been a
proud woman. So, when had she ever been humiliated by people around her tand tagain?
The host, Martin, finally walked out slowly onto the stage with a Green Phoenix on his arm under everyone's
anticipatory gaze. At this point, everyone's attention was focused on the man. "Welcome, all of you great
warriors of Emsgate. It's an honor to have you here as my guests. | am your host for the evening, Martin
Newmont."
Although the invitation letter everyone received had indicated the nof the host, this was the first tmost
of them were seeing him in person.
All of a sudden, the crowd broke out in heated whispered discussions.
