A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 2129 Showdown on the Hill Rhett vs Aora

Trusted

“Aora, Mackenzie’s men have the mountain surrounde” Azure’s voice broke the tense silence as he scrambled up the hill, glancing back nervously. They were trapped–cornered like fish in a barrel. Unless they had wings, there was no way out.

Aora crouched nearby, clenched his fists, and growled, Mackenzie, I’ll make you pay for this. One day, I’ll kill you.”

The hill they’d fled to wasn’t much of a refuge. It was small, steep, and easy for Mackenzie’s well–equipped Wolf Warrior Unit to storm. Yet, Mackenzie wasn’t rushing. She stood at the foot of the hill, arms crossed, assessing the situation.

She thought, This terrain is brutal, and we’re already short on people. If I send more troops up the hill, it might give Aora and Azure the perfect chance to escape. I can’t afford to make careless decisions right now. Aora’s not just a tough fighter–he’s a poison expert. One slip–up and it could all fall apart.

Just then, Rhett stated calmly, “I’ll handle this. We’ve fought twice before without a clear winner. This time, I’ll end it.”

Mackenzie frowned. “Are you sure? Facing Aora alone is risky. What if—

“I know how to deal with his poison, and sending a whole team after him will just give them an opening Trust me–this is the best approach,” he interrupted, his tone steady.

The confidence in Rhett’s voice left no room for argument. He wasn’t just any fighter. As the King of Dark Night Island, he thrived on challenges like this–a battle against someone as formidable as Aora was an opportunity to sharpen his skills.

“Rhett, I’ll come with you,” Anna and Falcon offered in unison.

Rhett glanced at Anna. “Alright, you’re with me. Let’s keep it fair–one–on–one duels. That’s how we do things.”

Mackenzie sighed, realizing there was no changing Rhett’s mind. “Fine, but be careful. We’ve got the upper hand right now–don’t take any unnecessary risks.”

“Appreciate the concern, Your Holiness.” Rhett smirked, dodging any solid commitment. This was the mark of a true warrior–determined to face Aora in a fair fight and bring him down on his own terms.

As night fell, the hill plunged into darkness, the shadows growing thicker with each passing minute. For Rhett and Anna, the lack of light was just another challenge. For Aora and Azure, it was a perfect cover. Yet, Rhett and Anna felt a thrill—they welcomed the challenge, finding it an exciting twist to an otherwise routine battle.
