My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Chapter 2257 While Mica was dancing at his private bar, a group of black-clad, masked intruders suddenly burst in. Mica immediately recognized them to be affiliated with the ones who had previously attempted to assassinate him before.

Although Mica was not a martial artist, his exceptional perceptiveness had helped him out of many dangerous situations before. This time was no different. Realizing that these intruders were targeting only him, he blended into the crowd and used the chaos to escape through the back door.

However, he had underestimated the capabilities of these watchers. They managed to track him down by merging into the shadows. Just as Mica thought he was safe, a shadow emerged from the wall behind him and strangled him.

Mica struggled desperately, but the strong shadowy hands seemed almost capable of snapping his neck. During this perilous moment, his bodyguard arrived and punched the watcher back into the shadows before rushing to Mica's side. "Sir, are you alright?"

Mica coughed as he got to his feet. "Quickly, let's get to an open area."

Realizing that these watchers could blend into the shadows, Mica and his bodyguard ran to a large, well-lit square. In the bright light, the shadows had nowhere to hide. Even though they tried to disguise themselves, they were still detectable.

The watchers surrounded the square and closed in on them. Their dense numbers made Mica feel overwhelmed.
