Chapter 524

• As the drama unfolded, the crowd around Emmanuel grew increasingly animated, their murmurs and whispers adding to the tension that hung thick in the air. Initially, many among them had assumed that Emmanuel's apparent acquiescence to the muscular man and his girlfriend stemmed from a sense of intimidation. They speculated that perhaps he was bending over backward to accommodate the woman due to fear of confrontation with her imposing companion. However, as events continued to unfold, it became increasingly evident that Emmanuel's actions were driven not by a disregard for women, but rather by a steadfast commitment to principles of fairness and integrity.
• Despite the woman's attempts to manipulate the situation to her advantage, her arrogance and entitlement only served to underscore her own limitations. Her refusal to acknowledge her role in the altercation and her insistence on portraying herself as the victim only further alienated the crowd, who increasingly saw through her facade of meekness to the truth beneath.
• Amidst the chaos, Emmanuel calmly stepped forward to initiate the currency exchange, his demeanor composed and unwavering. "I would like to exchange 1,000 Chanaea currency for Yeternia currency, please. Thank you," he stated with measured precision, placing a stack of money on the counter with practiced ease.
