Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
Chapter 2111; Zelinsky Family’s Number One Fighter
“Long time no see, Blake! It’s great to have you back at the Zelinsky family’s residence!” Maxwell’s expression was warm and cheerful, and he even seemed to walk over and hug him.
Blake grinned and said, “Hey, Maxwell. No, I should call you Mr. Zelinsky now, right? I wonder if it’s that you’re forgetful, or if someone’s impersonating you. We clearly met in Zovince two weeks ago, and you almost had someone beat me to death. What do you mean ‘long time no see’?” The Zelinsky family servants nearby were also a little surprised and looked at Maxwell.
However, Maxwell just laughed and replied, “Blake, you’re just as fond of joking as ever! Ignore what Aiden mentioned earlier. My father and I didn’t know you were still alive.
“We thought you had died alongside Magnus in Hallford. Hence, we removed your name from the family roster since you hadn’t returned here for so long!”
“We’re so thrilled now that you’re alive and back. How about this, continue to serve the Zelinsky family, and we’ll even double your compensation. How does that sound?”
Blake suddenly feigned extremely delight. “Wow! Really?”
“Of course, it’s true!” Maxwell smiled as he moved forward.
However, Aiden blocked him, cautiously whispering, “Young Master, be careful of a potential trap. Please don’t get too close to this ugly guy!
Blake began shouting, “Look at that! You’re all so guarded against me. Yet, you claim to want me back in the Zelinsky family? That’s so insincere! How am I supposed to believe you? “You’re not planning to trick me into not asking for my wages, are you? Also, I’ve got one blind eye and a leg. That also counts as a workplace injury, doesn’t it? Shouldn’t I be compensated? Maxwell was speechless and burst out laughing after a moment of silence.
Then, he signaled Aiden to step aside.
Aiden had no choice but to move away, standing behind Maxwell as he approached Blake.
Maxwell clasped Blake’s hand and said with a kind smile, “I absolutely mean every word. We can sign a contract right now if you don’t believe me.
“Not only will we compensate you for the workplace injuries, but I’ll also prepay six months’ salary for you in advance. How about that?”
“Seriously?” Blake was slightly stunned, looking at him in surprise.
“Someone, cover here!” Maxwell waved his hand, instructing the others to bring over a contract.
He then said to Blake, “A wise bird chooses a sturdy tree to nest in. Magnus is dead now. Shouldn’t you return to the Zelinsky family and continue working for us, especially with such good compensation?”
Blake laughed heartily, but suddenly, he struck Maxwell with a palm and shouted, “That almost sounds reasonable! Too bad my surname is Morgan, and I’m related to Magnus by blood!” In the nick of time, Aiden, on high alert, activated his Silken Ghost Hands, entangling Blake’s arm.
Simultaneously, she struck Blake with a palm, forcing him to retreat.
Maxwell quickly stepped back, breaking out in a cold sweat. He might very well have lost his life if Blake hadn’t been hampered by his crippled leg and lack of agility.
In reality, Maxwell had long known Blake’s intentions and had deliberately staged this act to win over the hearts of his subordinates. After all, Maxwell had already shown utmost benevolence to Blake in the eyes of the Zelinsky family’s other bodyguards and fighters.
“How dare you bite the hand that feeds you! Blake, you’re just a stupid dog that bites people!” Aiden once again engaged in combat with Blake, cursing him furiously.
“How dare you say I’m a stupid dog? You’re all the stupid dogs who get tricked by Maxwell, this hypocritical, immoral sc*mbag!” Blake laughed wildly while fighting Aiden and the others though his assassination attempt had failed.
Despite his Golden Bell body protection, he could not escape unharmed under the siege of so many Zelinsky family experts.
Yet, he didn’t despair as he believed his reinforcements would arrive soon!
Surely Magnus’ predictions will only stop short with a proper conclusion right? Meanwhile, a man and a woman appeared on the road leading to the back gate outside the Zelinsky Residence.
The man exuded a commanding presence, and the woman seemed the real and otherworldly. They were none other than the Northern Wolf Warrior and the successor to the Music Saint.
Following the directions on his phone, Emmanuel arrived at this gate. He could already hear the sounds of fighting inside with his cultivation, confirming Blake had started clearing a path for him.
“Ms. Mia, the Zelinsky family’s residence might be the hardest place in the world to storm. I’ll need your help for what comes next,” Emmanuel said straightforwardly, even though he had no idea what Mia’s capabilities were.
Luckily, Mia smiled and said, “Mr. Lowe, I will repay the favor with a song since you stood up for me earlier!”
“Good. I’m curious about what’s so special about your song?” Emmanuel asked, wanting to understand before proceeding.
Mia replied with a smile, “My skills are still shallow, and I can only put people with weaker internal strength than mine into a peaceful dream state.
However, I’m afraid I can’t do anything to martial artists whose internal strength far exceeds mine, like you, Mr. Lowe.” Emmanuel nodded with a smile.
“Then I’ll be all ears.” With that, he used remote-grabbing to pull a wooden table and chair from the Zelinsky family’s back gate, setting them aside for Mia along with a gesture of invitation.
Mia looked at him with admiration. “Mr. Lowe, your martial arts are truly extraordinary. Even my master would be impressed.”
Emmanuel replied, “You flatter me. This is just a trivial trick compared to your music.” With that, he walked toward the Zelinsky family’s back gate. Behind him, a soothing melody began to play.
Unlike the powerful and penetrating music he had heard in the hall earlier, this tune was like a gentle stream, making people feel serene and relaxed: The guards at the gate were already fast asleep as Emmanuel infiltrated the Zelinsky Residence, smiling as they dreamed.
Not wanting to disturb their rest, Emmanuel moved silently toward the source of the fighting.
Inside, many armed guards were also on the verge of collapse. Even Maxwell felt his body relaxing, his eyelids growing heavy, and an intense desire to lie down and sleep.
“Nice! Reinforcements have arrived!” Blake suddenly perked up, using all his strength to break free from Aiden. He was preparing to seize the opportunity to strike Maxwell down.
At that moment, a dark figure descended from above and Blake felt an overwhelming sense of danger!
In the next instant, a steel-like fist crashing down on him. Not only wigs the force immense, but the speed was also astonishing.
Boom! Blake was sent flying by the punch, landing heavily in the courtyard, and creating a deep pit in the muddy ground. He couldn’t even move for a moment.
“One of the Eight SuprGrandmasters of Zovince-Earth Hammer, Birch Arnold!”
Lying in the pit, Blake gritted his teeth and spat out the words one by one. “I forgot that Maxwell has leveled up! Now that he’s the Zelinsky family’s young master, even the family’s top expert has to step in to protect him!”
However, the elder seemed to disdain responding to him. With his hands clasped behind his back, he arrogantly said after a long pause, “Do you think you can kill the Zelinsky family’s young master? That’s ridiculous!”
Aiden sneered smugly. “Ugly freak, admit your mistakes. What blood ties? You’re just a self-serving scoundrel. Do you even value family?” Blood trickled from the corners of Blake’s mouth, staining his crooked teeth red. However, he grinned smugly as he gazed at a flickering star in the sky.
“Who says being ugly means I can’t value family? Who’s to say which of us chose the wrong side?” Hearing this, Birch suddenly frowned, as if sensing something was wrong.
However, Aiden, whose strength barely reached the S+ Rank threshold coldly said, “Still talking tough on the brink of death? Let’s send this Zelinsky family traitor to the afterlife!” As she spoke, he raised his hand to strike Blake’s heart.
At that moment, the shining star seemed to send down a beam of light, falling toward him and Blake.
