Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
Chapter 2339; A Tense Standoff Between Northern and Tocvale
“Mr. Dragonicus, stop causing trouble! Your father wants you to come home!”
Before the beggar could respond to Mackenzie, several man in suits arrived and attempted to forcefully take him home.
“Let me go! I’m not going back! I have nothing to say to that guy who always wants to control everything! Even if I gain military power, I’ll never help that jerk!”
The beggar fought fiercely, injuring two of the man, but eventually, he was tied up and taken away.
“Haha! Pretty girl, wait for me! When I reach the top, I’ll come back to marry you! Then, you can do whatever you like, I’ll spoil you and let you go wild!”
The beggar had mentioned “the top” twice, which was why Mackenzie remembered it clearly.
“Yes, it’s me! I’ve come back to marry you!”
Dragonicus, the beggar, was exited when Mackenzie finally remembered him and become more aggressive.
“Heh, Emmanuel, for Mackenzie’s sake, I won’t kill you! But you’d better leave right now!” He taunted Emmanuel, knowing only one could sit on the throne, especially when both were after the same women.
This time, he wanted to prove that the Tocvale War God was for superior to the Northern Region War God and to fulfill his promise, reach the peak, marry Mackenzie, and let her do whatever she wanted!
“Whoever dares insult the Northern Region’s Supreme Commander shall face the wrath of a million soldiers ready for battle!”
Before Emmanuel could respond, a furious shout echoed from the door.
Three powerful soldiers, exuding a terrifying killing intent, entered, and the crowed parted in fear.
Sage, Eve and Gavin, though not high-level martial artists, their accumulated battlefield killing intent was unmatched.
Their presence made many in the room break into a cold sweat, while others felt a strange surge of adrenaline.
“How dare you! This is a 6-Star War God’s coronation banquet. How can you barge in?”
Another deputy general shouted angrily, and countless gun barrels aimed at the three of them.
Even Elric, the only clear-headed on from the Tocvale, felt helpless. If tensions get any worse, a Tocvale-Northern war might break out at any moment. This isn’t just about Zovince, it could affect all of Chanaea, even the global balance of power!
“Go ahead, pull the trigger. One shot, and the Tocvale-Northern War Ignites!”
Eve’s face was cold as ice, and every word she spoke hit like a slap in the face.
She was Emmanuel’s most loyal supporter and would never tolerate anyone disrespecting him, no matter who they were!
Beads of sweat rolled down the faces of many present. More and more Northern Region Supreme Commanders appeared. The standoff was escalating, and the atmosphere was unbearably tense!
“What are you doing here?” Emmanuel frowned and questioned coldly. He had no desire to start a war between Northern and Tocvale!
“We deserve punishment! But we’d rather die than let anyone disrespect our commander!” Even immediately kneeled. Sage and Gavin followed suit.
The Northerners were always united and loyal to their leader. Emmanuel was now their true Northern Region Supreme Commander.
Emmanuel frowned even deeper.
“Hahaha…” Dragonicus suddenly laughed. “Emmanuel, it seems you’ve got quite the personal charm. Even the Northern soldiers are willing to die for you!”
The word “die” hung in the air, intensifying the atmosphere!
The two commanders were locked in a battle of momentum. making it seem like the world might collapse at any moment.
Emmanuel remained silent.
In that crucial moment, Mackenzie knew only she could defuse the situation. She quickly grabbed his arm and whispered. “Let me talk to him alone.”
Emmanuel met her gaze.
“Trust me!”
Finally, he nodded slightly. “Alright, I trust you.”
But just as Mackenzie spoke, Dragonicus coldly ordered, “Emmanuel has committed insubordination, detain him immediately!”
What? The entire room was shocked once again!
Emmanuel’s frown deepened. Dragonicus really doesn’t fear war. There are 100,000 Tocvale soldiers in Zovince, and we only have 20,000. I he seriously thinking of starting a war? Using it as an excuse to rebel?
“Let’s see who dares touch our commander!”
Sage and the others instantly stood to protect Emmanuel, clearly ready to fight to the death!
“Sage, stand down!” Emmanuel barked at them.
It wasn’t that he feared the Fierce Claw Army, but his perspective was broader than Dragonicus’.
If they fought now, they’d be playing into the hands of others, Ezra, Gautier, the remnants, and the 300,00 Holy Fire organization stationed at Chanaea’s borders!
Zovince’s chaos had just been quelled. It couldn’t be reignited!
If they wanted to detain him, so be it. No one could truly imprison the “Reverse Dragon.”
Sage and Eve gritted their teeth but obeyed Emmanuel’s order without hesitation.
“Take him way!” Elric had no choice but to gave the order, though he knew the consequences could be unpredictable.
“Mackenzie!”
As Emmanuel was being taken away, he and Mackenzie locked eyes, their trust in each other evident. She bit her lips and nodded slightly.
Seeing their resolve, Terance sighed deeply. It seemed his granddaughter and grandson-in-law had truly matured to a remarkable level.
But then, an unexpected scene occured.
Just as Emmanuel left, Dragonicus, who had been full of pride, didn’t even have time to savor his victory before suddenly coughing up a mouthful of blood!
Pfff!
“Commander!”
The entire room was in shock again. What just happened?
“Commander!” Elric rushed over to support him.
He knew the commander’s health better than anyone, years of reckless combat had left him severely injured. The intense face-off with Emmanuel had been too much for him to handle!
Now that Emmanuel had left, the commander’s will had relaxed, and his old wounds flared up again.
The terrifying aura of the Northern Region Supreme Commander plunged the room into chaos.
The next morning, at a fortified military residence in Zovince, 10,000 Fierce Claw Army soldiers stood on high alert. Without clearance, not even a mosquito could slip though.
Inside, the atmosphere was heavy.
The 6-Star War God had suddenly coughed up blood and collapsed the night before and hadn’t woken up since.
Within a single night, all 12 divine doctors of Zovince had gathered there.
This level of consultation was rare, even at a national medical summit. But for Chanaea’s only 6-Star War God, such treatment was justified.
However, after examining Dragonicus’ condition, the divine doctors could only shake their heads.
As Elric noticed the grim expressions on Canaea’s top experts, his frown deepened with worry. If the Tocvale War God dies now, no on can predict the fate of Chanaea.
“Stop frowning and speak plainly! What exactly his condition?”
