Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2255 The Grand Hunt–Slaughter the Wolf and Execute the Lion!

“Very well! Under the leadership of Mr. Verkade and Mayor Zelinsky, we will host the Grand Hunt!”

“United as one! Emmanuel Lowe must die!”

“Kill Emmanuel Lowe! Take down Yorick Dotson!”

The room erupted with raised fists and resounding shouts.

“Since Mr. Verkade has proposed the plan, it’s only right that he take the lead as host. I will provide my full support,” Ezra added with a diplomatic smile, careful to keep his involvement minimal.

Gautier saw through the old fox’s intentions immediately–the first to strike would always be the first to fall.

If the plan succeeded and Catherine became president, Ezra would benefit greatly. But if it failed, and Emmanuel sought retribution, the ones taking the fall would be those who had led the charge–Gautier included.

Moreover, Yorick was Ezra’s brother–in–law by name. He certainly wouldn’t put himself directly at the forefront of this attack.

But while Gautier understood Ezra’s caution, there was no turning back now. He had been the one to propose the plan. The room had already pushed him forward as the host. There was no choice but to embrace the role fully.

“Alright! With time running short, I will take responsibility as host of the Grand Hunt!”

Raising his fist, he declared, “Our goal is to ensure neither of these men leave Divine Mountain alive!

“On that day, all of Zovince will be under weapons control–especially Divine Mountain. No metal weapons, no blades, not even liquids over ten ounces will be allowed past security. What we can bring is people—but the number of fighters will be limited. So, every person we bring must be an elite!”

“Agreed! The Lewin family will send one S–Rank fighter and one S- Level fighter! They will follow your orders on the mountain!”

The first commitment came swiftly, and once the precedent was set, others eagerly followed.

“The Joubert family will contribute two S- Level fighters!”

“The Cavendish family, though lacking in top–tier experts, has plenty of numbers–we can send seven or eight A+ Rank fighters!”

One by one, the counts came in. By the end, they had amassed 157 elite fighters–and that was before the Zelinsky family had even weighed in.

To put it into perspective, this force was stronger than all the fighters who had participated in the Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown. But it still wasn’t enough.
