Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2121 Prevention is Better Than Cure

“Boss, that woman Mackenzie is hosting a banquet tonight at the only hotel in town!”

As soon as they entered the town, Ayan Black quickly gathered intel.

“That woman sure knows how to live the high life. Everywhere she goes, she enjoys nothing but the best. Such a bureaucrat! Tonight, we’ll tie her up and deliver her to the Serpent King first!”

Mauve Protector clenched his fists, clearly displeased with Mackenzie’s airs and graces.

Ayan leaned closer to his ear and whispered, “I’ve heard Mackenzie is quite the stunner. Rumor has it that she’s accompanied by several beauties. If we capture them all… well, you know what I mean.”

The rest of his suggestion didn’t need to be said out loud–the implication was clear.

Mauve Protector chuckled darkly. “Fine by me. The Serpent King only likes virgins anyway. If they’re not, we can enjoy them ourselves. Let’s go!”

After sharing a few crude laughs, the group made their way toward the hotel.

Upon arrival, they didn’t need to break in. Instead, Mauve Protector consumed a strange substance and exhaled a peculiar smoke that quickly rendered everyone in the hotel unconscious.

“Move in!”

Mauve Protector gestured for his men to follow him inside.

The hotel wasn’t very tall. In the banquet hall, members of the Wolf Warrior Unit were already succumbing to the effects of the poison. Most had collapsed onto their dining tables before the Five Poison Sect even made their move.

Among others, even Mackenzie and Hattie swayed dizzily before slumping over.

“Hey, what’s going on with you guys? Can’t hold your liquor? Haha…”

Quintus, noticing the people around him falling, initially thought they were drunk. But moments later, he also collapsed onto the table with a loud thud, his weight breaking the flimsy furniture beneath him.

“Haha!”

Mauve Protector strode in triumphantly, laughing as he surveyed the unconscious figures.

Ayan, standing behind him, praised loudly, “Mauve Protector, you truly are the Serpent King’s finest! Your mastery of toxins is unmatched. Just one puff of that smoke, and so many are down for the count!”

Though the flattery was cliched, Mauve Protector lapped it up. He had unwavering confidence in his Seven Step Violet Venom and basked in the praise.

“Bind Mackenzie for me!”

As he issued the order, his gaze landed on Mackenzie’s table, where several stunning women were slumped over. His eyes gleamed with greed.
