Mistaken Match Marrying the Enigmatic CEO

Ashton had no idea what was happening behind her as she ventured deeper into the snowy forest alone. There were no lights in this part of the hunting grounds, and the darkness swallowed everything around her. She turned on her flashlight, gripping her gun tightly, her senses on high alert.

Any other woman, no matter how intrigued by the game, might have turned back at this point. After all, not everyone was willing to risk their life for a hunting game. But Ashton's personality thrived on challenges-the more difficult something was, the more determined she became. She had a gut feeling that the 130-pound carnivore of the night was lurking somewhere in this area. But what kind of creature could it be? Bang! 19:28 Thu, 12 Dec 2040 A Kind Heart Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, hitting the ground just 30 feet from her. Ashton's survival instincts kicked in immediately, her entire body tensing with the awareness of danger. In such poor visibility, if multiple players were Bunting nearby, the risk of accidental injury-or worse, death-was high. And with no cameras in such remote areas of the hunting grounds, who knew what could happen? But she figured no one would risk committing murder without provocation. After all, every player was registered, and it would be hard to escape suspicion if someone turned up dead.

"Well, well, if it isn't Ms. Summerton!" A voice broke through the darkness, and a flashlight beam illuminated her face.

"What are you doing?" Ashton instinctively raised her arm to block the blinding light and shouted.

Nathan stepped closer, laughing. "Hunting, of course, I just say a little wolf cub dant by, but I guess my aim was off, Hang..." Wshton shot him a cold glare, "With your terrible aim, it's easy to imagine you shooting someone by accident, weakling!" Nathan wasn't bothered by her insult. "With these guns, a single shot isn't enough to kill anyone unless you hit them in a vital spot. And besides, tonight's this life-and-death hunting. Everyone who enters knows the risks! Haha..." He didn't care about the consequences-his family was wealthy enough to deal with any fallout, as long as it wasn't him lying dead in the snow.

"You spoiled Zovince scions are crazy!" Ashton muttered in disgust, preparing to move away, Chapter 2040 A Kind Heart Suddenly, a low, eerie wailing sound echoed through the forest, almost like a ghostly howl.

Wha... what is that?” Ashton's heart raced as she sensed something big moving ahead in the darkness.

"Haha, it must be the mystery beast!" Nathan exclaimed, his excitement growing. The gunshots must have alerted the massive beast, making it feel threatened and prompting it to go on the offensive.

Ás he raised his gun, ready to fire, they both noticed two glowing green orbs in the blackness above the trees.

"Holy-what the hell is that? Ghost flames?!" Nathan recoiled in fear, his heart racing. Despite his martial training, this sudden, eerie sight made his skin crawl.
