Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2324 To the Bitter End

The clash between the two top–Sage level fighters shattered the iron–clad ship, splintering it into pieces.

Neither Helios nor Santiago fell into the water.

Instead, they stepped onto the floating debris, their battle continuing as the wreckage drifted around them.

“Helios, Atticus‘ failure proves that the Sheffield–Grey family is unfit to lead Chanaea. It’s time to face the truth!”

Santiago unleashed another Dragon–Breaking Palm.

Though his style was similar to Emmanuel’s, it was far more raw.

Emmanuel had relied on overwhelming power and brute force, while Santiago favored refined technique and subtlety.

Helios dodged again, the force of the blow sending massive waves crashing upward.

The destruction they caused could rival a natural disaster–a storm surge, unleashed by their strength.

His brow tightened, his focus sharpening. Though he had never underestimated Santiago, the constraints of the sea fought against his abilities.

Now, it was clear: Santiago had the upper hand.

At this rate, only one of them would leave alive.

“Helios, you’re incredible!” Santiago called out with genuine admiration. He knew that, in a different setting, he might not have stood a chance against a top–Sage level martial artist like Helios.

“But it’s a shame. I have no choice but to end this today, for Chanaea’s sake! The Airspace Group has become a serious threat to the country’s stability. You need to accept this.”

Santiago struck again, shattering more planks around them, elearing the way for his next move.

Helios leaped into the air, his movements restricted. He knew if Santiago unleashed the Sea of the Dragon, not even a god would survive the impact.

Just as the danger grew, several figures shot up from the water’s depths.

Santiago’s eyes widened in shock.

A cold shiver ran down his spine as a wave of deadly intent radiated from the ocean.

He quickly jumped off the plank, barely avoiding whatever threat was approaching.

Two blood–red, serrated blades emerged from the water’s surface, and from the depths, a man in red armor leaped out.

He grinned coldly, his intent clear: destroy the remaining planks and finish the fight.
