Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

To Emmanuel, overthrowing the Airspace Group and rescuing his wife and friends was an honor. He forgot that for the residents of Dark Night Islands, reaching the top of the power pyramid was.

The countless setbacks they faced in the past only strengthened their determination.

“You talk big. Can you make it, considering The Frost and Flame Alliance only made it to the top eight last year?” Aurora knew what was on Emmanuel’s mind and spoke up for him.

“Don’t underestimate us!” Solana summoned the flames on her palms and confidently announced, “Many of us came to Dark Night Islands and formed the alliance to become stronger and pursue the pinnacle of martial arts. We’ll fight for the goals until the last moment. We are either stopped by death or the accomplishment of our goals.”

The Black Wolves fell silent at her enthusiasm. They held nothing but respect for her.

Emmanuel was no exception. Even though their beliefs and goals contradicted him, their pursuit made them more humane.

“All right. We’ll find out who’s stronger in the arena in three days.” Knowing he couldn’t persuade them to surrender, he simply requested, “I look forward to fighting you later. If we lose, we’ll accept defeat and surrender, and you can do whatever you want.

However, if you’re defeated, please don’t struggle. After all, we aren’t enemies. I promise we won’t make things difficult or enslave you.

She sneered at his words. The idea of losing hadn’t crossed her mind once. On the other hand, Albin was more collected and had thought further. He asked Emmanuel, “Didn’t you practice martial arts to reach its pinnacle?”

It was Emmanuel’s turn to sneer. “There’s no such thing as pinnacle in martial arts. Someone would’ve reached it long ago if there were. I only practice martial arts to protect what’s important to me. It’s my family, homeland, dreams, and justice.”

His simple words touched many hearts in the alliance.

“Besides, the so-called pinnacle of Dark Night Islands is false,” he elaborated, “The strong fighters here are like caged beasts. They simply follow their superiors‘ will to compete for the top spot. Even if they become the first, they’re still puppets of the Airspace Group.”

His statement now struck a nerve in them.

“The Airspace Group is trying to find the strongest warrior and turn them into a top assassin to do their dirty work. Does fighting for somebody else’s goals count as an honor to you?”

He revealed the truth, which wasn’t known by many. For example, Solana was greatly shaken by his words.

Albin couldn’t help but ask, “Are you planning to unite with us to go against the Airspace Group? How can you make sure everyone will join you?”

Resolute masked Emmanuel’s face, causing the others to fix their gaze on him. “I can’t guarantee that everyone will stand with me, but like you, it’s either death or accomplishment of the goals that can stop me.” His curtness and bluntness conveyed strength.

Albin met the burning flames in Emmanuel’s eyes and nodded. “I understand. Let’s agree on only determining the winner during the competition and not killing, If we lose we’ll do whatever Black Wolf asks us to.”

“What?” His declaration shocked the rest of the alliance. Solana didn’t expect him to agree with it. After all, the alliance didn’t submit to Xarii when they lost to him before.

“The same applies to the Black Wolf.” With one firm nod, Emmanuel turned around with a smile and departed with the other members of Black Wolf in tow.

“Albin-” Solana might be hot—tempered, but she wasn’t oblivious! Albin’s promise made his idea of rebelling against the Airspace Group came to her mind.

“Yes. We have been trapped here for years! Emmanuel’s words made me realize how ridiculous our beliefs were.” He sighed before adding, “The Airspace Group took advantage of our competitiveness. To them, we are merely pawns on their chessboard,

Even if we reach the top of Dark Night Islands, we are only better pawns than the others. We must overthrow the Airspace Group to reach the true pinnacle of martial arts.”
