Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
Emmanuel listened attentively. He deduced that he likely fought Aurora’s husband on the battlefield before.
He didn’t press her on her husband’s story as he didn’t want to interrupt her.
“I never expected the War God of Chanaea to kill my husband in a battle. I’ve been widowed since then.” “The War God?” His gaze snapped to her in astonishment.
“Yes.” She nodded. “Chanaean must know him, right? He’s also the Northern Region Wolf and the top fighter in the martial arts world, Everyone must look up to him.” He tensed before turning his full body to face her, his lips pursed.
“What’s wrong, Emmanuel? Did I hurt you with my clumsy hands?” Thinking she had hurt him, Aurora panicked, her hands trembling.
“No! Don’t fret!” He gently held her hands to soothe her before cutting to the chase. “What’s your husband’s name?”
“It’s Sharma Jr. His father, Sharma Sr., is one of the three marshals of Kasango.” “Sharma?” The rang a bell. Then, Emmanuel shook his head in resignation. He remembered killing her husband in a battle. The battle earned him a great reputation in the Northern Region, and Ghost Doctor even designated him as his successor.
“Emmanuel, do you know my husband?” Aurora asked.
“Yes.” He nodded his head without revealing his true identity.
She sighed sadly and continued, “The Holy Fire organization deceived him into thinking that Kasango could defeat Chanaea with their support. However, Chanaea had strong military power. Their strong discipline and iron will were impossible to break.”
“I see.” He didn’t expect to learn about the past from her.
Somebody deliberately blocked the information from spreading. Those who knew about it were either killed or disappeared. He wouldn’t have learned it in the first place if he didn’t visit Dark Night Islands.
Moreover, it had to be Aurora, Sharma Jr.’s concubine to know these secrets. An ordinary soldier wouldn’t know the involvement of the Holy Fire organization in Kasango’s military affairs.
“By the way, are you aware of your husband’s connection with Teddy Tanner from Chanaea?” he asked.
To his surprise, she nodded. “Where did you learn that?”
“I’m just pushing my luck.” He didn’t expect to gain extra information.
Her face was twisted with resentment at the mention of Teddy. Biting her lip, she hissed, “Teddy planted Falcon in my husband’s army. His code name is Casper. He was the chief instructor of the army, and also an experienced combatant. He had always tried to get into his bed. He immediately made a move on once my husband was dead, causing to escape to Dark Night Islands. Who would’ve thought he even followed here…” “Ah, this is too much-” Emmanuel was overwhelmed by the information.
The coincidence was unexpected.
“Did you say that Falcon’s previous code name was also Casper?”
“Yes. I accidentally learned it from a confidential letter that Teddy had trained many elite spies. They use the code name Casper in operation. Besides, Casper also ranks top.
The True Identity of Casper number one on the Redback Assassins Leaderboard. That’s why Casper stays number one on the leaderboard no matter how many people have replaced the number two.”
Now it makes sense! Her story’ cleared his confusion. So, there is more than one Casper. Casper isn’t an individual but a group It explains why the Casper I came across in Yeringham wasn’t as good a fighter as the one in the Northern Region despite also being good at military explosives. They might not even be the same person at all!
Perhaps they were only disguising with the same face? It also explains why Redback Assassins gave up on Snake Master, their number three assassin, after failing his mission. It turns out that the Redback Assassins aren’t lacking in powerful killers. After some assassins failed their missions, new ones would immediately take their places.
The assembly-line production ensured the Redback Assassins were long-standing in the industry.
“Emmanuel, I believe bringing down Dark Night Islands will bring a huge blow to Redback Assassins too as many of their assassins originated from here.”
