A Whirlwind Marriage with the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 2146 Opportunistic Forces Entering the Scene

A civilian militia was advancing on the highways of the West End. Leading this unit was none other than Ken himself.

They were also en route to the Serpent Lair.

Mackenzie had notified him about the anti–bandit operation before departing, but they had only set out three days later and were still 100 km away from the Serpent Lair.

“Ken, are you planning to help Mackenzie?” Lenore asked quictly, sitting beside him in the vehicle.

Ken replied with a question of his own, “Why are you asking this? We’ve already come this far. Are you suggesting we don’t help her?”

Lenore shook her head. “That’s not what I mean! Helping Mackenzie would mean betraying Mr. Tanner. Then, you might lose your position if Mr. Tanner secures re–election.”

Ken’s expression was somber but his eyes glinting with cunning. “I know that. It will be a monumental achievement if Mackenzie can eliminate the Five Poison Sect!

“Over a hundred million people in the West End would revere her as a goddess. Of course, I want to ride on her coattails!

“However, I’ll stab her in the back and claim the glory for myself if she loses. Then, Mr. Tanner certainly won’t forget my contributions when he wins the re–election!”

Lenore nodded in agreement.

All of Chanaea knew Teddy was a leader who rewarded merit and punished wrongdoing. This inspired absolute loyalty from his subordinates.

“What if the two sides are evenly matched, and we have to tip the balance?” Lenore pressed further.

Ken shook his head, finding the scenario improbable. “How likely is that?”

However, Lenore persisted. “If the two sides truly end up evenly matched, whichever side we join could become the tipping point that changes the course of the battle.

“Will you choose unparalleled glory and the chance to benefit the West End, earning praise from the masses, or the endless wealth and rewards from Ms. Tanner?”

“What a headache! Let’s not overthink unlikely scenarios. Just go with whichever side seems more favorable when the time comes!” Ken refused to dwell on the low–probability event, considering it a waste of energy.

Unable to persuade him further, Lenore continued the journey with him.

Meanwhile, Mackenzie was in her camp, orchestrating multi–front operations.

The Five Poison Sect, numbering around two to three thousand, was attacking from multiple directions.
