Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO novel Chapter 512
Chapter 511
The others present might not know about it, but Eve knew full well that
Emmanuel was once the Wolf Warrior, commander of Northern Region’s most
elite team, and a hero who once led his people to great victories!
Emmanuel’s eyes were swimming with tears as he was overcome with
emotions. “Before Dillon died, he used to call me his brother! Now that he’s no
longer with us, I should be the one taking care of his parents in his place!”
The elderly couple teared up at his words.
They didn’t want much in life. They were simply worried that with their son
gone, they wouldn’t have anyone to send them off when their time was up.
Therefore, after hearing Emmanuel’s declaration, they felt a surge of warmth
in their hearts. They were a lot less worried now. Even though it was only their
first time meeting Emmanuel, they felt like they could depend on him!
“Dillon sacrificed his life for the country. The Northern Region had issued a
death gratuity for his family, so why are you still living in this state?” All of a
sudden, Eve asked a crucial question.
When ordinary soldiers in the Northern Region died, their families would
receive 120 thousand in the form of death gratuity. Blockhead was a member
of the Wolf Warrior Unit, so his family should’ve gotten multiple times that
amount! They wouldn’t have to live like this if they received that money, right?
Emmanuel got back on his feet. He was curious about this too.
However, Dillon’s mother Martha had a blank look on her face. “What are you
talking about? What death gratuity?”
Upon seeing the look on her face, Emmanuel and Eve exchanged glances.
The same thought occurred to both of them. They didn’t receive the death
gratuity from the Northern Region!
At last, Dillon’s father Frank hoisted himself up with the help of a log of wood
that served as his cane and cried out, “Mr. Hound and the other b*stards with
him must’ve taken the money before it got to us!”
Eve’s brow furrowed at once as she recalled what happened back then.
Although she wasn’t in charge of the Northern Region’s finances, she did
handle some of the administrative tasks. At the time, someone from finance
had asked her for the details and addresses of the families of the Wolf
Warrior Unit members.
Blockhead was one of them! Now that I think about it, I bet Blockhead’s family
doesn’t have a bank account where the money could be transferred to.
Maybe they had to send cash or a check to the family.
Eve muttered all she knew into Emmanuel’s ear.
At once, Emmanuel’s fists clenched so hard that his veins popped. He turned
to Dillon’s parents and promised, “Since I came here today, I will get to the
bottom of this and help you get back your son’s death gratuity!”
Even if he couldn’t recover the funds, he would give them the sum from his
own pocket instead.
Although Emmanuel made his promise with absolute confidence, the elderly
couple simply nodded absent-mindedly and sighed. It was clear that they
didn’t think Emmanuel and Eve could do it.
At last, Eve asked, “Where’s your daughter, Dillon’s younger sister?”
That was one of the reasons they came to Eastern Star Mountain.
“You’re looking for Amy?” Frank said. “She left a year ago to live with her aunt
at West Shelter Village.”
West Shelter Village was one of the settlements on the west side of Eastern
Star Mountain.
Before coming over, Emmanuel had pored over a map that he got from Eve.
Not only did he know where the village was, he even knew that it was one of
the most remote settlements on this mountain.
“Why did she leave to stay with her aunt?” Eve queried.
Frank sighed. “Amy has some kind of mental illness, and well… One of us has
problems moving around and the other is sick most of the time, so we can’t
raise her. We had to let her leave with her aunt instead!”
The more Emmanuel heard about the family’s situation, the more his heart
ached.
Blockhead sacrificed his life for his country, but his family has been suffering
so terribly in their hometown! His sister was S**ually a*saulted by the local
bully until she became mentally unstable, and even the death gratuity that
was given to his family because of his death had been stolen from them.
Why is the world so unfair?
“I’m sorry! I failed your son!”
Emmanuel closed his eyes to stop his tears from falling. His jaw was tight with
bitterness as he declared, “Don’t worry. Your son used to call me his brother,
and now that I’ve come here today, I will definitely resolve all your difficulties!”
He wouldn’t have known that Dillon’s family was in such dire straits if he
hadn’t come to Eastern Star Mountain in search of the Ghost Doctor!
Chapter 512
Dillon was a hero who died for his country, but someone stole the money that
rightfully belonged to his family and caused them so much pain as well!
Life is so unfair!
Emmanuel’s blood was boiling. He was itching to unearth those who did this!
And then, I’ll kill them all!
Just then, a cocky voice began hollering from the top of the lane.
“Pay up your protection fees! Hurry up!”
“What? You don’t have enough? Again? Are you trying to test me? I’ll break
your leg!”
Emmanuel heard the ruckus and turned around. His aura became even more
murderous.
The local hooligans were openly collecting protection fees from the people
living on Eastern Star Mountain, and those who couldn’t pay up were
physically a*saulted. He didn’t think such things still happened in this day and
age..
He could no longer keep a lid on his rage anymore. To think that Blockhead’s
parents have been living in such dire straits all this time!
“Please, sir. Could you please go easy on us?”
A middle–aged couple in the house opposite the Hedge family’s place heard
the voices and came out to plead with them.
However, after another round of brutish threats, they meekly paid up anyway.
When the neighboring middle–aged couple saw the local hooligans heading
toward the Hedge family’s house, they pleaded on their behalf, “Can’t you
have a little compa*sion? Frank and his wife don’t even have money for food!
Take pity on them!”
A glimmer of gratitude emerged in Martha’s sorrowful eyes when she saw
that her neighbors still dared to plead with the hooligans on their behalf.
Unfortunately, the local hooligans had no such thing as compa*sion. They
kicked the middle–aged couple away.
“F*ck off!”
Then, they kicked the Hedge family’s door down and it fell directly on the
rotting vegetables that the couple just washed.
“Ahh! The vegetables!”
Frank’s heart ached. He had gone to great lengths to gather them, and
without them, the couple would have to go hungry.
“Hahaha. What makes you think you can eat anything if you don’t pay the
protection fee, huh? In your dreams!”
The local hooligans ignored Emmanuel and Eve as they hollered at Frank and
Martha.
“Please… we don’t have any money! There’s not a single scrap of money left!”
Frank was in despair.
“No money, huh? Well since you don’t have any money, you might as well
die!”
The curly–haired leader of the hooligans grabbed Frank by the collar and
raised his fist..
The middle–aged couple watched from afar, but they couldn’t be of any help.
They were certain that Frank and Martha wouldn’t be living past this day.
However, the punch didn’t land on Frank’s body.
An expressionless Emmanuel had caught the curly–haired man’s wrist.
Even though the curly–haired man tried to yank his hand away as hard as he
could, it didn’t budge at all.
He’s so strong!
The curly–haired man was shocked at first, but he started threatening at the
top of his lungs, “Who are you, punk? How dare you lay your hand on me?
Don’t you know who I am?”
Emmanuel couldn’t be bothered to respond with anything but his fist that
came crashing down on the hooligan.
The curly–haired man’s face caved in as he spat out blood!
Emmanuel let go of the man’s wrist.
The curly–haired man fell to the ground with a thud. He had lost
consciousness and lay there unmoving.
“What the hell? Who’s that guy?”
“He killed someone with a single punch! It’s the devil!”
The local hooligans were so terrified that they scrambled off at once. They
didn’t even bother to take their unconscious friend with them.
However, the middle–aged couple across the street didn’t seem excited at
all. Instead, they had looks of dread and despair.
“You two need to hurry up and leave! Flee now!” Martha hurriedly advised.
Frank was even more panicked. “That’s right, or else, you’ll be in trouble once
they come back with everyone! Especially you, miss. You’re such a pretty
woman and they’re all monsters!”
Eve wanted to laugh.
Chapter 513
Flee? What a joke!
Even if she disregarded the old Northern Region Wolf beside her, what could a
bunch of local village bullies do to her, the head of the Wolf Warrior Society?
On the other hand, Emmanuel wasn’t in the mood to laugh. He quickly asked,
“Who are they, Mr. Hedge? Why are all of you so afraid to fight back?‘
“There’s a terrifyingly powerful gang here in Eastern Star Mountain,” Frank
lamented. “Even those in Onza dare not do anything to them. We’re just a
bunch of poor people. How could we have the power or the courage to go
against them?”
“A powerful gang?” Emmanuel was taken aback. He didn’t think there would
be gangs in these sorts of places.
“That’s right! They are an extremely mysterious but ma*sive force, and
anyone who offends them will die!” Martha was sighing despondently as well.
She looked just as terrified.
Emmanuel and Eve exchanged glances.
Eve had no idea that there was such a powerful gang hidden in this place.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel wondered if the gang was related to the reason why
the Ghost Doctor had come to Eastern Star Mountain.
“All four of you should hurry up and escape now! You didn’t pay the
protection fee and you hit one of their men! They’re not going to let any of
you get away with this!”
“Their boss, who is also our village bully, is a guy we call Chubs. He’s a cruel
man who has killed many people already!”
As soon as the neighbors mentioned that name, all the color drained from
Frank and Martha’s faces.
They were shaking with fear!
However, Emmanuel was unafraid as he announced in all seriousness, “I told
you that I will take care of you in Dillon’s place, and I will definitely solve all
your problems!”
Although Frank and Martha felt grateful, they kept sighing helplessly.
The neighboring couple had no choice but to go home and lock their door
behind them. They were afraid of getting dragged into the situation. They
didn’t want to die, after all.
Soon enough, a large group of people showed up at the top of the lane.
There were at least twenty of them. All of them were waving their bats and
machetes around, looking extremely terrifying.
“Oh, no! Mr. Chubs is here! You young ones can still run. Leave from the back/
door! Forget about us!”
Martha quickly tried to talk Emmanuel and Eve into leaving.
Emmanuel didn’t move.
Eve whispered to him, “300 of our people from the Wolf Warrior Society are
making their way up the mountain as we speak!”
Emmanuel nodded. Even without the reinforcements, he wasn’t afraid of
taking on a couple of dozen local thugs on his own.
“F*cking hell. Who the f*ck laid a hand on one of my men? Come out! It’s your
turn to die!” Chubs bellowed outside.
He was a rotund man that looked like a vicious bulldog–just like his name.
The villagers quickly fled into their houses and locked the doors behind them.
They didn’t want to get dragged into anything.
“Let me handle it this time, Emmanuel!” Eve said before she proceeded to
head out by herself.
Frank and Martha became even more frantic. Chubs is a sleazy pervert! That
young woman is going to suffer!
“Oh? You’re pretty feisty, but so f*cking hot! My, my…” Sure enough, Chubs
drooled at the sight of Eve.
Eve wasn’t necessarily a breathtaking beauty. She wasn’t as beautiful as the
Quillen sisters, but there was something about her aura that made her seem
like fine wine. She was bewitching in her own ways.
was
“Your name is Chubs? How are you people related to Mr. Hound?” Eve
questioned haughtily.
う
Chubs couldn’t help but shrink back a little when he sensed her dominant
presence. “Mr. Hound is our boss,” he sneered. “Since you know about him,
what gave you the guts to hit one of our people, huh?”
He could tell that the woman in front of him was no ordinary person, but how
can he, the village bully, be afraid of a woman?
He didn’t care where she came from. Since she was now in this village, she
was going to have to bow at his feet no matter who she was!
“She didn’t do it! I did!”
Emmanuel walked out with a grim expression and said, “Not only did I hit him,
but I’m going to hit all of you b*stards! Not a single one of you will be
escaping today!”
Frank, Martha, and all the villagers who were watching in secret all gasped in
shock. They couldn’t believe he had the nerve to say that!
Chapter 514
“You’re an arrogant f*cker, aren’t you? Fine. I’m telling you right now. This won’t
end until I chop all your limbs off and make sure that woman gets a d*ck in
her at least eighteen times!” Chubs bellowed and spat out angrily.
His men behind him were excited too. None of the village women had Eve’s
body and cla*sy aura.
Chubs couldn’t possibly get a boner eighteen times, right? That means we
get a turn too, right?
Eve didn’t react at all. As if these punks could even get their hands on me!
How delusional!
Both parties were about to start fighting when Martha rushed out and fell to
her knees as she pleaded, “Mr. Chubs, please have mercy and spare them!
They’re not from this village! If you want to kill someone, just kill us instead!”
Emmanuel teared up at the sight. He wasn’t going to let the elderly couple
get on their knees anymore. He helped them up at once and roared at
Chubs, “Die, you monsters!”
And with that, his fist went flying.
Chubs didn’t even have the time to react. He never thought that someone
could move so quickly.
Soon enough, he realized that speed wasn’t the only thing the man in front of
him had going for him. He had terrifying strength too!
Punched in the chest, Chubs went flying backward and ended up knocking
down his men behind him.
A cloud of dust stirred up as the fight started in full swing!
“Arghh-”
“Arghhhh!”
Agonized cries rang out repeatedly.
Chubs couldn’t even get up. He lay on his back as his body twitched!
Such strength! He’s too strong!
None of them would believe that a human could possess such strength if
they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes.
However, Eve thought that Emmanuel’s present strength was far too weak
compared to how strong he was at his peak.
His meridians haven’t recovered from the grave injuries yet!
“H–Hey man… I’m sorry!”
“Yes! Don’t hit me!”
The tides had turned in the blink of an eye. Everyone was afraid to be the next
one under Emmanuel’s fist.
Chubs‘ pathetic state drained all the bravado out of his men. Some even got
on their knees and begged.
“You’re sorry, huh?” Emmanuel remained expressionless as he spat out, “What
a shame. It’s too late now!”
These were a bunch of thugs who did all sorts of depraved acts. There was
no telling how many had suffered at their hands. Although Emmanuel would
never call himself a righteous man who enacted justice on behalf of the
people, since he did come here today, he was going to teach these
hooligans a lesson and avenge Blockhead’s family!
Forgiveness was between them and the heavens. His job was simply to send
them over for judgment!
Just then, Eve piped up, “Leave the rest to me, Emmanuel!”
It was a waste to let Emmanuel get his hands dirty. Although he was no
longer in his old position and not as strong as he once was, in Eve’s eyes, he
was still her idol. There was no reason for him to handle these rats himself.
As soon as Eve said those words, the thunderous sound of footsteps rang out
in the vicinity.
The dilapidated village almost seemed to shake from the commotion.
After seeing everything that came next, the villagers who were hiding in their
houses were scared out of their wits!
Frank and Martha were numb with shock too.
The people from the Wolf Warrior Society had arrived.
Every single one of them looked formidable. They had received excellent
training. Not only did they outnumber the local hooligans, but they were far
more skillful in a fight too.
Chubs and the other thugs turned ghostly pale at the sight.
What’s going on?
No such group of people had ever marched up Eastern Star Mountain before!
“We’re here, Ms. Thompson!”
“Who are we going up against, Ms. Thompson? I’ll make sure he stays
bedridden for the rest of his life!”
The leader of the group addressed Eve respectfully and asked.
Chapter 515
Chubs and the others stared at Eve in aghast. Their heads were spinning!
It never occurred to any of them that she would come from such a powerful
background.
Thud, thud.
The village hooligans dropped to their knees and begged for mercy.
The sudden turn of events shocked the villagers at Eastern Star Mountain.
Never in their wildest dreams would they have ever imagined something like
this happening!
After a while, the villagers who were hiding in their houses finally had the guts
to run out and cheer!
Had someone powerful descended on their village to save them from their
poor, wretched lives?
Were the evil ones finally going to be punished?
“How do you want to deal with them, Emmanuel?” Eve asked.
Emmanuel’s gaze was cold and steely which was rather unlike his usual self.
“Ask the villagers what these thugs did to them, then double it up and pay it
back in kind!”
“Got it!”
Eve waved her hand and the men from Wolf Warrior Society jumped into
action.
The local bullies quivered with fear. They used to be like kings in the village,
but now, they were nothing more than cockroaches!
Soon, they were all pummeled to the ground. Chubs was lying in a pool of
blood. His body kept twitching with his life coming to a very near end.
The villagers were overjoyed and tears streamed down their faces. The light
was dawning at Eastern Star Mountain!
“I’ll give you some money, Eve. Please arrange for some basic food supplies
and other daily necessities to be brought up to the villages and given out to
these villagers!” Emmanuel instructed Eve.
“I don’t need your money. I have plenty!”
Even immediately started making the arrangements.
Emmanuel trusted her with it. He knew that with her getting things done, the
Hedge couple wouldn’t go hungry again.
He wanted to take them away from this village so that he could ensure their
safety, but the elderly couple had spent their entire lives in this village and
didn’t want to leave. They worried that they wouldn’t be able to get used to
living anywhere else.
Emmanuel had no choice but to ask Eve to arrange to have their house
renovated too.
Right now, apart from locating the Ghost Doctor, his priority was also to find
Amy as soon as possible. Who knows what kind of life she’s living if
Blockhead’s parents have had such a hard life all this while?
He couldn’t stop worrying about it.
Meanwhile, two women were making their way into West Shelter Village–it
was a young lady and her maid.
“Miss Sarah, is it safe for two women like us to come to a place like this?” The
maid looked a little anxious.
This was a remote village with poor cell signal. If anything happened, they
wouldn’t be able to get any help.
In the maid’s eyes, it wasn’t quite as dangerous for her because she was just
an average–looking woman who came from an ordinary background, but
Sarah was a daughter of the Quillen family. Isn’t she afraid?
