Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO
She knew she could never replace Mackenzie’s spot in Emmanuel’s heart, but being able to hold an important place in his heart was enough for her.
“I’m not afraid,” Magnus said gently with a smile. “That’s because I’m not Tobias Lenoir, and I believe in my deductions. Since I’ve been able to calculate every step to bring you here, I believe the outcome will be just as I’ve deduced.”
“Is that so?” Emmanuel smiled. “In that case, what is the result of your deduction? Care to spoil it for me?”
“Of course!” Magnus said with a smile. “You will die here tonight, disappearing from this world forever!”
“What if I live?” Emmanuel concealed all emotions, a faint malice emanating from his furrowed brows as he asked.
Magnus, however, remained calm as ever and pointed to the woman in his arms. “Then she will die!”
“Are you really willing to kill her?” Emmanuel’s malice grew stronger.
“Yes. Haven’t I already proved it?” Magnus moved his three fingers, his gaze becoming somewhat cruel. “I’ll let you in on a little something. I personally broke all three of Claudette’s fingers! I only like the princess who belongs to me, not ones who belong to others!“
“You son of a b*tch!” Emmanuel couldn’t help cursing. “I really despise hypocrites like you. You claim to be deeply in love with Claudette, yet you do the most ruthless things to her! You’re worse than a beast!”
“Are you angry, Emmanuel?” Magnus still maintained a gentle and refined demeanor. “I should be the one angry instead, no? You were the one who took away what belonged to me! It’s you who destroyed Princess Claudette!”
“Magnus, for someone so smart, you sure say the stupidest things.” Claudette, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke up. “When have l ever belonged to you? Never was, never will!”
“No! You always have been!” Magnus declared firmly. “I will prove to you that you can only be mine!” With that, he waved his hand before three fighters simultaneously leaped out, standing in a triangular formation as they surrounded Emmanuel.
“Quinn and Black Bear, two incompetent lackeys, and another guy who’s even worse than Quinn. Do you really expect to defeat me with just the three of them?” Emmanuel deliberately mocked as he swept his gaze across the three.
“You f*cker!” Quinn blew a fuse. “You were just lucky last time. This time, the three of us will throw you off the cliff and smash you into pieces!”
Roar! With a loud roar, he leaped into the air like a soaring eagle and struck down with a Palm Drop, making it even more difficult for Emmanuel to defend himself in the darkness.
Meanwhile, Black Bear and the other expert had already concealed themselves in Emmanuel’s blind spot, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. All three of them believed that Emmanuel would be dead for sure this time.
However, to their surprise, Emmanuel’s agility and speed had undergone a qualitative leap since their last encounter.
Even with Claudette in his arms, he was still able to swiftly escape Quinn’s attack range before the attack even landed.
“What?!” Quinn was filled with astonishment. He had already acknowledged Emmanuel as a genius the last time they fought, being able to defeat him just barely despite Emmanuel’s young age.
Who’d have thought in just a short time, the young man’s abilities had already advanced to a completely different level, surpassing him entirely?! What kind of freak is this guy?!
“Don’t panic. Let’s attack together! Emmanuel will die tonight!” Only Magnus remained confident at this point.
He believed that even if Emmanuel became more powerful, he, Magnus Zelinsky, would be the ultimate victor that night.
