Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 2171 The Ultimate Showdown of the Two Women #Finished Gautier noticed that Sage had seized the moment to aim at Florus Admon and also intended to act.

However, in the next instant, Florus Admon deliberately used Caden as a shield. This forced Sage to abandon his shot.

"D"mn it!" As a soldier, Sage was bound by an uishakable sense of luty. His mission was to rescue Caden, and any harm to the commander's son would mean failure.

As a member of the elite Wolf Warrior, personal sacrifice was acceptable, but failure in completing the mission was not. This moral code had shackled his squad's performance, limiting their combat efficiency to less than 30% "Heh, you won't shoot? Well, I won't show you any mercy Florus Admon smirked triumphantly and hurled a stee needle toward Sage.

Despite Sage's formidable skills honed by countless life-and-death battles, he couldn't entirely evade the attack. The needle pierced his arm, sending a wave of excruciating pain that nearly caused him to drop his gun With sheer willpower, he grifted his teeth and caught the weapon before it hit the ground, raising it once more to aim at Florus Admon.

"Oh, not bad! I quite admire you." Florus Admon chuckled, impressed by Sage's determination. "However, being admired byisn't a blessing. Many of my disciples I admired couldn't withstand my rigorous training and ended up working themselves to death." Sage panted heavily, ignoring her taunts and keeping his gun firmly trained on her.

The moment he found an opening, he wouldn't hesitate to shoot.

Unexpectedly, Florus Admon slowly placed Caden down.

Sage's body tensed. Florus Admon was ignoring his threat.

"Let's settle this in a fair duel," Florus Admon announced smugly. "Let's see whose speed reigns supreme- your bullets or my needles." "Bring it on." Sage didn't entertain thoughts of victory or defeat. With unwavering resolve, he prepared for battle.

Without waiting for Florus Admon to lay out any rules, he immediately fired.

Nevertheless, his bullet missed its mark, as Florus Admon dodged gracefully. At the stime, sharp pains erupted across his arm, shoulder, and chest.

In the blink of an eye, seven bloody wounds adorned his body.

The intense agony momentarily numbed his senses. Yet, despite reaching his physical limits, he 22:50 Wed, Jan 22 GA.

Chapter 2171 The Ultimate Showdown of the Two Women "You're still standing?" 87% Finished Florus Admon's surprise turned into reluctant admiration. "T'll concede you're the toughest man I've ever encountered. No one has survived this many of my neeilles, let alone stayed standing." Expressionless, Sage strained to move his fingers, intent on pulling the trigger once more. His iron will screamed that the mission to save the commander's son must succeed-even if it cost him his life.

However, miracles didn't ceasily.

In the face of overwhelming power, no amount of determination could bridge the gap.

"This final needle will pierce your skull and end your suffering." Florus Admon threw another needle before turning her attention to Caden- She didn't even bother to confirm her his Yet, what happened next shocked her a long whip, black as a serpent, lashed out toward her.

Her expression shifted tically.

Who is this? She had been so focused on the duel that she hadn't noticed someone else approaching.

As she dodged the whip with uncharacteristic clumsiness, the mysterious figure snatched Sage and, with a deft movement, wrapped the whip around Caden to pull the infant toward her.

"What an extraordinary woman!" Florus Admon observed the new arrival, who, like her, wielded a whip. She couldn't suppress amazement.

her Nevertheless, another twist took her by surprise.

Before the whip-wielding woman could secure Caden, a lightning-fast figure appeared and snatched the child away.

"Impossible!" Florus Admon's eyes widened in disbelief.

If her first misstep was due to negligence, this time, it was because she had underestimated the opponent's abilities.

Even Gautier, who had been observing from the shadows, was stunned.

Who is this womank Could she have been sent by Emmanuel! If so, we have all underestimated Emmanuel's capabilities. Who knows he commands such powerful allies, even ones on par with the legendary Eight Supremes? Heh, quite an adorable child. No wonder everyone's fighting over him," the woman cooed, holding Caden in her arms and playfully interacting with the baby.

2/4 Chapter 2171 The Ultimate Showdown of the Two Women Finished "As expected of the offspring of Emmanuel and the Saintess. This little one will undoubtedly grow into a prodigious martial artist." Like Florus Admon, the woman had noticed the baby's extraordinary innate talent.

"Who are you?" Fuming at her arrogance, Florus Admon demanded answers.

Even Sage, lying gravely injured, was eager to know whether this woman was friend or foe-or an independent third party.

"Isn't it proper etiquette to introduce yourself before questioning someone ΟΠ else's identity? Were you raised without manners?" the woman retorted mockingly, showing no fear of the Eight Supremes. "You..." Florus Admon gritted her teeth, raising a steel needle between her fingers. I am Florus Admon, one of the strongest of the Eight Supremes of Zovince." The Eight Supremes' title was renowned throughout Chanaca, striking fear into anyone who heard it. Those who dared offend them often groveled for mercy However, even as Florus Admon boasted her title, the whip-wielding woman remained unimpressed. Instead, her interest was piqued.

"Oh, so you're one of the legendary Eight Supremes. That explains your ruthlessness." "Hmph, now that you know who I am, state your nand prepare to meet your end," Florus Admon said.

Her tone left no doubt-this defiant woman would not be spared. No one had ever dared to flaunt arrogance before her.

"The Eight Supremes may be the pinnacle of martial artists in the open world of Chanaea, the woman.

You have nothing to be proud of With a playful smirk, she added, "Since you're so curious, I'll oblige you. I am Scarlet, from Towerine." "Towerine?" The mention of those words caused Florus Admon's expression to shift.

As a towering figure in Chanaca's martial world, Florus Admon was well-versed in its history. Towerine was a nthat once struck terror into the hearts of all martial artists.

Renowned for its brutal and cursed legacy, the warriors of Towerine were infamous for growing stronger through the slaughter of their kin, using guilt and remorse as fuel to advance their skills. "I never imagined that remnants of that cursed place still exist." Florus Admion's casual demeanor gave way to guarded vigilance. Steeling herself, she taunted, "Today, I will end the last vestiges of your sinful lineage."
