Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2312 Zovince Defense Battle

“Oh?” Gwain’s confusion deepened. He only knew part of the truth–never the full picture.

Chanaea had a Martial Arts Association, responsible for collecting and updating the strength rankings of martial artists nationwide. The association even had a formal rating system. The weakest were D–class, while the strongest were Sage level–that was, SSS–class and beyond.

The Seven Saints were officially recorded in the association’s database. And yet, his father’s name was nowhere to be found. He had never realized that the Lannister family was the true power behind this institution.

“I’m not talking about the Chanaea Martial Arts Association.” Eric smirked, as if reading his son’s thoughts. “When it comes to top martial artists, even the association relies on intelligence from another organization to update its records.”

Gwain asked bluntly, “Father, what organization?”

If even he didn’t know about it, then it had to be a well–guarded secret.

“It’s called North Star. You’ll come across it sooner or later, but for now, there’s no need to talk about it. First, we need to get out of here.”

Eric had no interest in wasting more time. Santiago and Yorick might have been severely wounded, but together, they were still a force to be reckoned with. And worst of all, there was still Emmanuel, the grandson of the only warrior in history to have reached the legendary quintuple–S class at his peak. That monstrous strength made him a true king of battle.

Eric had no intention of crossing paths with him tonight.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel had no interest in chasing down the Lannister family either. His priority was escorting Ethan back to Congress to take control of the situation.

As they descended the mountain, Emmanuel received a message from Eve. A massive army, nearly 100,000 strong, was already at the gates of Zovince, preparing to storm the city. Their objective? Seizing Congress and controlling Chanaea’s core political institutions.

But before they even reached the foot of the mountain, a line of soldiers blocked their way. Emery stood at the front.

“What’s this about? These are Mr. Hale’s forces! Who dares to stop us?” Emmanuel stepped out of the car, his voice thunderous with rage.

The moment Emery saw him, a chill ran down his spine. D*mn it, it’s the doom slayer again.

Still, he forced himself to stand firm and barked, “We are acting under official orders! Mr. Hale must complete the prayer ceremony before the lockdown can be lifted. Since the ceremony is not yet completed, he must return to the mountain!”
