Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
Chapter 2359; Tocvale Blackshoot Tribe and the Sage Saint of Chanaea!
Quintus was similarly puzzled!
The job of a Holy Guardian was to be a guard, not to be a personal maid! There were times when it was inconvenient for him to protect the Saintess by her side, especially when she was performing certain tasks. Hence, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was more anxious than Dragonicus Sheffield-Grey!
“Mackenzie woke up and asked to take a bath, so I stood guard outside the room. Afterward, I entered the room together when you arrived. That’s all that happened!”
“Hurry, Elric! Find Mackenzie’s whereabouts immediately! I want to see her right away!”
Swamped with a mixture of worry and unease, Dragonicus could not shake the feeling that Mackenzie’s sudden disappearance was very bizarre. Moreover, he was certain that her disappearance was most likely related to her sudden headache and fainting episode!
“Understood!”
Without wasting more time, Elric immediately sent his men to investigate the situation while he went to retrieve the surveillance footage. The unexpected results of his investigation shocked him. It turned out that Mackenzie had left the room by jumping out of the window herself! What’s more, her eyes looked very strage!
“How… How is that possible?” Quintus stared at the surveillance footage, his eyes nearly popping out of his head from astonishment. The women he always believed to be cold yet frail had turned into an expert female warrior who could even scale walls!
Even Dragonicus was surprised, mummering to himself, “fairy! She’s a real fairy!”
Mackenzie was wearing a white nightgown in the footage, which added an ethereal feeling to her aura. As she few through the air, her dancing figure truly resembled a celestial being who was untouched by the mortal world!
“D*mn it! This is not the time for admiration! Don’t you think Mackenzie’s eyes look very strange? I think she might have fallen into a state of madness!”
Even a rough and uncouth man like Quintus noticed the abnormality; it was obvious the others would have, too.
“Her condition doesn’t resemble the state of madness. I think she is being controlled!”
Dragonicus gritted his teeth and growled, “It’s the Blackshoot Witchcraft Worm Technique!”
“The Blackshoot Witchcraft Technique?” Quintus’ eyes widened in astonishment as he asked, “Do you know about that technique?”
The question made Elric retort unprompted on behalf of his commander, “Commander Sheffield-Grey is the Tocvale War God. Having encountered various forces in Tocvale, it is only natural for him to know about the Blackshoot Witchcraft Worm Technique!”
Quintus nodded in understanding.
The truth was that he had been to Tocvale himself. Although he did not have as deep an understanding as Dragonicus, he had heard about the potency of the Blackshoot Witchcraft Worm Technique. In particular, certain beautiful women of the Blackshoot Tribe were absolutely terrifying!
“I knew the Great Saint King looked familiar! He is the previous Blackshoot Tribe King!” Dragonicus abruptly slapped his thigh in realization. “Elric -”
“I understand!”
As expected of the trusted subordinate of the Dragonicus, Elric did not require specific instructions from his superior. He immediately deployed the fastest means at his disposal to gather information on the Blackshoot Tribe of Tocvale through the intelligence network in the Tocvale war realm. It only took him a short time to compile and organize everything, but the results of his investigations were absolutely shocking!
“I-Isn’t that Madan Lenoir?” Dragonicus was startled to see a photo of Mackenzie’s mother, Felicity Lenoir, in the records of the past Blackshoot Tribe Kings.
“That’s Mackenzie’s mother!” Quintus exclaimed. Having loved Mackenzie for so many years, it was only natural for him to know her mother’s appearance. The women in the photo might be dressed in the traditional attire of the Blackshoot Tribe, but he had no trouble recognizing her at a glance!
“I can’t believe Mackenzie has a quarter of the Blackshoot Tribe blood flowing through her veins!” He abruptly slapped his thigh in understanding. No wonder I’ve always felt that Mackenzie’s beauty is an different scale altogether. It turns out she comes from a mixed heritage!
Elric resumed his report, “Commander Sheffield-Grey, General Quintus, the information we have gathered indicates that Mackenzie’s grandmother was the Saintess of Blackshoot Tribe! Furthermore, the highest power of the Blackshoot Tribe is not wielded by the Blackshoot Tribe King but the Saintess of the Blackshoot Tribe!”
“There is also a Saintess in the Blackshoot Tribe? Could it be? Was the Holy Fire organization originally established by the Blackshoot Tribe? I’ve heard that the Saintesses are descendants of the Valois Clan, Could it have been a coincidence that Mackenzie’s grandmother become the Saintess of the Blackshoot Tribe?” Quintus frowned in response.
“I don’t care about that!” Lacking the patience to waste time delving into such details with Quintus, Dragonicus immediately issued another command to Elric. “Dispatch a hundred thousand Tocvale soldiers throughout Tocvale to search for Mackenzie! We must rescue her before she falls into the hands of the Great Saint King!”
“Understood!” Elric immediately went to carry out the order.
On the other hand, Quintus fidgeted restlessly. It never occurred to him that the Great Saint King would have prepared such despicable schemes. As the Holy Guardian, he had been careless indeed!
Meanwhile, Emmanuel remained unaware that his wife had gone missing as he departed from Zovince and marched straight for Canaan with twenty thousand Northern Region soldiers under his command. Now that he was the Northern Region Supreme Commander, there was much more for him to handle that before. In fact, he would often work late into the night to review various military intelligence reports.
As his right hand men, Eve and Sage naturally assisted with checking through some of the military intelligence reports.
“Emmanuel, look! Orunis, the strategic analyst from Eagle Nation, published an article today predicting that our country, Chanaea, will launch an aggressive assault on Ashdon Nation early next month!” Eve suddenly presented an article to Emmanuel.
Taking the mobile device from her, he quickly skimmed through the article. The contents made him furrow his brows subconsciously!
The president had indeed mentioned to him about responding to the provocations of the Ashdon Nation as a show of strength to open up a strategic space for Chanaea. However, the matter had only been discussed between him and his wife. Even Congress had yet to hear about the matter. How did a stragic analyst from Eagle Nation learn about the secret, much less boldly publish such an article through the media?
“Emmanuel, do you know anything about him?” Sage leaned over, saying. “He is a descendant of Chanaea living in Eagle Nation. At present, he serve as a the chief strategist of Eagle Nation. It is said that he made many predictions which eventually came true, so he is very highly regarded worldwide!”
Emmanuel nodded. Although he had never met Orunis in person, he had heard about the latter’s achievements.
Eve suddenly added, “Emmanuel, he has another identity, he was previously Mr. Hale’s mentor!”
Could Ethan have told him? The revelation shocked Emmanuel! Then, he swiftly dismissed the idea. Firstly, Ethan would never betry Chanaea! Secondly, Orunis would not have published such articles so openly if Ethan Hale planned to betry Chanaea!
“Find out more about his background, especially why he chose to join Eagle Nation!”
Emmanuel felt that it was essential to thoroughly understand this person. Given that the other party could accurately predict the direction of Chanaea’s national policies, he could not underestimate his opponent!
“Yes!”
Eve and Sage’s efficiency was definitely on par with Elric’s. In no time at all, a detailed report on the background of Orunis was compiled and handed over to Emmanuel.
“Hailed as the Wise Scholar of Chanaea forty years ago!
“He originallly left Chanaea due to disputes involving social class, but he was later recruited by the Eagle Nation with a high salary.
“Twelve years ago, he became the chief advisor of Eagle Nation. Not only has he offered Strategic advice to the national leader of Eagle Nation on multiple occasions, but he also won numerous international strategist awards!
“Furthermore, he is regarded by the international community as one of the smartest people in the world! Rumors suggest that he has an IQ of over two hundred.
Ten years ago, he visited Chanaea as the Minister of State of Eagle Nation and discovered a group of geniuses in Zovince. He even commented that “One should have a son like Magnus Zelinsky!”
What the heck? Emmanuel’s eyes widened in shock after reading the contents of the report.
Knowing what he was thinking. Eve immediately quipped. “Military intelligence does not directly involve the martial arts world, but there is a high possibility that Orunis is the Sage Saint of the Seven Saints!”
Emmanuel nodded in agreement. He had been wondering why someone of his caliber had never even heard of the Sage. Saint, even though six of the Seven Saints had already come forward. It turned out that the Sage Saint had long left both Chanaea and the martial arts world!
