Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Love at the Wrong Table

Chapter 2116 The Great Hero Quintus!

When no one budged, he grabbed the nearest girl by the arm and demanded, “What’s going on? Are you pretending to resist while secretly hoping those men will harm you?”

“No, it’s not that,” the girl winced in pain, her eyes filled with tears. “We can’t escape.

“Why not?” Quintus asked, his grip tightening in urgency.

His comrades from the Wolf Warrior Unit watched in surprise. Isn’t this the delicate girl he’s supposed to treat with care?

“Mr. Quintus, calm down!” Solana intervened.

“No, I’m fine,” the girl replied. “We’re from a remote village in the mountains. It’s so isolated that the Five Poison Sect targets us. Every year, they come and take young, unmarried women. We’re all registered. If anyone tries to escape, they’ll send people to our village and kill our families.”

Quintus‘ anger flared at this, and he punched a nearby stone wall, leaving a sizable hole in it.

The women around him gasped in surprise but also felt a glimmer of hope. This powerful man might be
