Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 310

“Huh, do you think that’s possible?” The woman in red approached

Emmanuel, her eyes laced with a hint of mockery.

Meanwhile, the man behind her stood still like a statue.

Emmanuel quickly shielded Mackenzie and Claudette, assuming a combat

stance.

“Aw, you’re still as interesting as before!” said the woman in red as she stood

before Emmanuel.

Her eyes grew more alluring as she got closer.

Claudette stared at her intently. If they were outside, she would’ve asked

Laura to send troops to eliminate this despicable woman.

“Say, this darling behind you is quite pretty. Is she your girlfriend? What are

you planning to do to her, bringing her to a place like this in the middle of the

night?”

v

The woman in red still wouldn’t reveal her identity, let alone tell Emmanuel

where they had met before, only teasing him with full force.

Despite holding Emmanuel’s arm tightly, there was no fear in Claudette’s

gaze that was on the female assassin, for she didn’t take the woman as an

assassin at all but as a love rival.

A woman’s sixth sense was much stronger than a man’s. Emmanuel might

not be able to tell, but she would be an idiot if she was unaware that the

woman in red was definitely interested in him!

Otherwise, she would have killed Emmanuel right away as the previous

assassin did instead of wasting her time blabbering. As Laura often said to

her, ‘the more someone blabbered, the stronger the affection‘.

“Don’t be afraid, Ms. Lenoir.” Emmanuel gently patted Claudette’s hand, giving

her courage.

Claudette nodded. “With you by my side, I have nothing to be afraid of!”

The woman in red’s eyelashes curled even more upon witnessing the scene.

P

“My, my, who would have thought a strait–laced guy like you would have a

girlfriend? And it seems like you have more than one…”

She clicked her tongue while gazing at the young woman in Emmanuel’s

arms. “A three–person game, eh? This must be a new world wonder!”

Emmanuel rolled his eyes. He might be insensitive and straight–laced, but he

wasn’t an idiot, so he naturally knew the woman in red was ridiculing him. So,

every man deserves a woman but me?!

“No matter who sent you guys to kill, you’ll have to walk over my dead body if

you want to lay your hands on the girls!”

At that, Emmanuel handed the unconscious Mackenzie to Claudette and

stood in front of them with a resolute gaze.

His magnetic voice instantly penetrated Claudette’s heart.

This was exactly why she fell in love with Emmanuel. She would love him at all

costs and willingly, like a moth to a flame!

“Aw, the hotties from the Northern Region sure are righteous. Well then, I’ll kill

them first. What are you going to do about it?!” The woman in red deliberately

provoked Emmanuel.

At the same time, the male assassin behind Emmanuel assumed a combat

stance as well.

An unequal battle of one against two was about to begin.

1

The man was surprised to see that the woman in red didn’t stop him from

taking action.

Immediately, he realized Emmanuel was truly strong, or his junior, who

always flew solo on missions, wouldn’t have allowed anyone to aid her.

The aura of the three fighters made the night wind fierce!

Seeing that the two assassins were going to attack together, Emmanuel

deliberately mocked, “To think the esteemed Redback Assassins would need

two of their men to deal with an injured prey. Your reputation will be

completely ruined if this gets out!”

“Aw, is the Northern Region Wolf Warrior afraid of us? What an honor!” The

woman in red didn’t back down. She even pointed out Emmanuel’s identity.

Claudette was stunned.

Other women might not have heard of the Northern Region Wolf Warrior, but

her father was General Adolph Lenoir! She, of all people, would understand

what the title meant!

No wonder Emmanuel is so formidable. It turns out he’s the renowned Wolf

Warrior, the strongest individual combatant in the Northern Region! Huh, I

sure have amazing taste, if I do say so myself!

Emmanuel, too, was taken aback, and his frown deepened. It seemed that he

had indeed crossed paths with the woman in red before. Unfortunately, she

didn’t reveal her true identity, and he just couldn’t remember who she was!

“It’s not about fear or no fear!” Emmanuel responded, “Since you know me,

-how about we fight one–on–one? Code of honor–we shouldn’t involve others

in our personal grievances!”

At that, the woman in red giggled. Who’d have thought this straight–laced

guy is obtuse in romance but cunning in other aspects?! Huh, as if I’d want to

fight you one–on–one!

The male assassin also heightened his vigilance, afraid that Emmanuel

would suddenly launch a surprise attack on his junior.

Emmanuel sighed in disappointment. The world has changed. There are

fewer fools, and being a fraud isn’t easy anymore!

“Attack!” the woman in red roared, and the two of them attacked Emmanuel

from the front and back.

The Redback Assassins rarely employed a strategy of outnumbering their

opponents. However, Emmanuel’s former reputation was too prominent, and

the woman in red had lost to him before. She couldn’t afford to be careless

now!

The creed of the Redback Assassin organization was to prioritize mission

completion no matter the circumstances!

Emmanuel was already injured and facing two top–level experts from the

assassin organization with bare hands was incredibly difficult.

As such, his wounds increased in number.

Beads of cold sweat gathered on Emmanuel’s forehead after he dodged

another one of his opponent’s deadly attacks. It was his first time

experiencing such a close encounter with death.

”

Seeing that Emmanuel was at a clear disadvantage, Claudette, fueled by

inexplicable courage, ran out and spread her arms, stood in front of him, and.

shouted, “You can’t kill him!”

The woman in red blocked her fellow assassin’s dagger and sneered, “Why

can’t we kill him?”

As she spoke, she licked Emmanuel’s blood from the tip of her blade.

Her weapon had a peculiar design–a blood–red sickle.

It resembled a blood moon.

”

Claudette didn’t know how to answer her question, but she continued to

stand in front of Emmanuel.

“Move aside, Ms. Lenoir!” Emmanuel quickly dragged Claudette back with one

hand, worried for her safety.

She would undoubtedly die if the assassins decided to kill her.

“Forget about us, Emmanuel. You can definitely make it if you run away

alone!” Claudette tried to shove the man away, but Emmanuel stood firm in

his spot. “I will never abandon a comrade no matter what!” he swore with

gritted teeth.

The scene reminded him of the mistake he made before decommissioning!

This time, he wouldn’t retreat no matter what!

“Huh, as expected of the Northern Region Wolf Warrior, valiant and loyal. Since

you won’t run away, die!”

The woman in red attacked again, moving like a red phantom, and her blade

emitted a chilling red light in the darkness.

To protect Claudette and Mackenzie behind him, Emmanuel was left with no

choice. With a furious shout, he unleashed a powerful punch.

Claudette wasn’t sure if she was imagining things, but she saw Emmanuel’s

fist emitting a burst of flames.

In the blink of an eye, they clashed head–on, and astonishingly, the woman in

red was forced to retreat. She even took several steps back before stabilizing

herself.

Though she wasn’t able to see them fight clearly, Claudette noticed that

Emmanuel’s right hand, which he had hidden, was now drenched in blood.

His hand had been split apart by the woman in red!

A wave of guilt surged within her, and in the next moment, Claudette was

moved to tears. Emmanuel did it to save me. I hope his hand is fine…
