Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 532
Two days later, Emmanuel, Sarah, and Suri arrived at North Star Village. Eve
and the members from the WW had reached the village one day ago and
wiped out all of Bugsy’s lackeys. That was why Eve came here–to avenge
Blockhead and his family.
Emmanuel entered the village and was met with a ton of thugs strewn
across the ground, and he smirked. Still the same old Eve. Looks cold on the
outside, but the flames of justice burn bright within her. She will dispense
justice whenever she sees fit.
“We went through a bit of interrogation and found where the center area is.
It’s in the upper village. Just go through the backdoor of a certain house and
walk straight up,” Eve said. She came with news the moment Emmanuel
showed up, and Emmanuel thought she was efficient as ever.
“Sure. I’ll check things out. You guys stay here and keep an eye on things,”
said Emmanuel. It was his way of doing things. The trump cards of the squad
must be withheld before the situation on the battlefield was made clear. The
mountains were vast. If Bugsy’s allies and backers were hiding somewhere
just waiting for him and Eve to leave so they could cut off their path of retreat,
they would be out of luck.
“Alright, Emmanuel.” Eve knew the reasoning as well.

“I want to go with you, Emmanuel,” Sarah pleaded. “I came to search for the
herb, and it’s been days. It could be right up there.”
Emmanuel looked at her. She seemed genuine, so he nodded after a
moment of silence. Sarah’s mother was his mother–in–law, and he couldn’t
just watch as she wasted away.
The trio did some preparations and started the climb. Eve led them to the big
stone house, where the entrance to the center area was. Emmanuel and
Sarah had seen their fair share of mansions, but they too were astonished by
the building. It was as sturdy as a fortress, and the interior was resplendently
decorated just like how a palace would.
“No wonder the b*stard said he could make you queen, Miss Sarah.” Suri
sighed. “He must’ve been planning to be some sort of king here.”
Eve thought so too, and she told Emmanuel, “There are a ton of treasures
lying around, and we found a few dozen women. When we first came, most
of them were stark naked.”
Emmanuel’s face fell as he was reminded of Amy’s tragedy. That b*stard
probably tormented those who refused to sleep with him until the point of
madness. How many women have fallen prey to him, I wonder?
“Judging from what he said before he died, the b*stard had a powerful
backer. We need to be careful,” said Sarah.

Emmanuel nodded. He had a feeling Sarah was as smart as Mackenzie. If
even a lackey like Bugsy could live the big life, then his masters must be even
more decadent. This case is a lot more complex than I thought. No wonder
my master came to this place. Maybe people more powerful than I can
imagine are hiding somewhere in these mountains.
Emmanuel led Sarah out of the backdoor, and Suri followed them. They were
met with a stretch of woods that unfurled before them like a maze. This was
their first rodeo, so they could only walk the path instead of straying from it.
vever,
eventually. A Wise man once said that paths were
the creations of humans who wished to travel to a destination. If there was
no path here, then that meant no one had traversed these parts of the
woods for some time.
“What now, Emmanuel?” Sarah felt lost. If Emmanuel hadn’t appeared, Suri
and she would have probably given up the moment the path ended.
