Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
“Mm! I have faith in you.” Mackenzie regained her usual aloofness and elegance, firmly stating, “I’m not afraid ́at all now. I know you can definitely protect me.”
Not only was she not afraid, but she also took out two pieces of chewing gum from her pocket, keeping one for herself and gently putting the other one in Emmanuel’s mouth. Boxing competitors in the arena often chew gum to reduce stress. Moreover, experiments have shown that chewing gum helps improve concentration.
After doing all that, Mackenzie finally checked the surroundings, trying to find where the Snake Master was hiding. Meanwhile, the assassin in red sneaked down, wanting to secretly observe how Emmanuel would fight with her eldest senior. But she never expected that as soon as she arrived, she would overhear the conversation between the couple.
What was that saying again? ‘Lovebirds on display make singles dismayed.‘ A pang of jealousy hit the bachelorette as she was unexpectedly fed PDA by the loving couple.
“He’s here!” Emmanuel suddenly said. The next second, the snow on the hillside began to flurry as if it had come to life.
Gradually, it billowed. The scene was like one from an anime when a master appeared. However, after the wind and snow subsided, no one appeared. Instead, countless snakes magically emerged.
Due to their large numbers, the snakes‘ skins were either brown or dark red. They slithered together, resembling a blood sea rippling and churning.
A Sea of Blood Snakes!
Rumor had it that a Snake Master would feed their snakes with their own blood and internal energy, turning them into the world’s most evil and ferocious venomous creatures. These snakes regarded him as their mother, and whenever their ‘mother‘ gave an order, they would fulfill it even at the cost of their lives. Such a large number of snakes couldn’t be cultivated in just a year or two!
The assassin in red, who was secretly watching the battle, was also secretly shocked. To think my dear senior would use all the scarlet snakes he had nurtured for years to deal with Emmanuel. Well, the client sure has his 12 million worth!
Controlled by the Snake Master, the venomous snakes relentlessly lunged toward Emmanuel and Mackenzie, one after another. It was like a tide of blood about to engulf them.
Though not afraid, Mackenzie was still grossed out by the scene. They were slimy and looked like flowing blood. The disgust was so overwhelming that she even forgot to chew her gum.
Although she hadn’t been bitten, goosebumps covered her whole body. On the other hand, Emmanuel’s countenance was grim as he picked up the Empress Blade from the ground, his gaze resembling that of a hunting hawk.
He inserted the blade into the ground and began drawing a circle–after his meridians had been restored, he could infuse his internal energy into the dagger–and the ground shimmered with a faint edge, resembling a divine mirror.
Hiss! Hiss! The snakes opened their bloody mouths and lunged toward the two of them, ready to bite.
Ultimately, Mackenzie couldn’t take it and threw herself into Emmanuel’s arms. At that, Emmanuel held his wife with one hand while wielding the military knife with the other.
Then, something astonishing happened.
As Emmanuel swung his knife, the clumps of mud on the ground shot forward like beams of light, crashing into the venomous snakes as if bullets penetrated through.
Boom!
One venomous snake immediately fell to the ground, twitching a few times before becoming completely still.
It was incredibly shocking. Even the assassin in red couldn’t help marveling at the extraordinary martial skill. What kind of technique is this?!
However, these venomous snakes were not human; they had no fear! Feeding on the Snake Master’s energy and blood, they were bound to be fiercely loyal to him!
Countless snakes continued to charge toward Emmanuel, one after another.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
