Chapter 307
The ninja was completely befuddled. Emmanuel’s power had exceeded his
imagination.
There are only very few people like him in the whole world. How is it that he
would be in a place like this?
Taking advantage of his distraction, Emmanuel retaliated.
Roar! The sound produced by Emmanuel’s strike and the friction in the air
was like a wolf’s howl, fierce and bloodthirsty! Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
A crisp sound of bones breaking followed, and the ninja spurted out blood
and dropped to the ground!
The fight only lasted ten seconds, yet it felt as though half a century had
passed in that time.
Even Mackenzie, who had seen the most dramatic ups and downs in life, was
beyond astonished. She was unable to utter a single sound for a moment.
Claudette, who arrived just then, was also reeling in incredulity. Dr. Lowe can
fight even better than Quintus!
“Don’t let him get away!” Mackenzie reminded Emmanuel once she came to
herself.
Emmanuel naturally knew he couldn’t let the ninja escape. However, he was
also injured. By the time he rushed over, the ninja had burst forth with a
strong will to survive and escape under the cover of darkness.
“Don’t chase after him anymore, Emmanuel!” Claudette quickly ran forward
and called out, worried that Emmanuel chasing after the enemy would lead
to a mishap.
Emmanuel stopped as well.
“Chase after him quickly! He can’t get away!” Mackenzie was also concerned
about Emmanuel, but she didn’t want him to listen to Claudette.
I’m his wife! What husband would he be if he listened to another woman
instead of his wife?
At that, Emmanuel prepared to pursue the ninja. However, Claudette stopped
him yet again. “Forget it, Emmanuel!”
Emmanuel stopped again.
“Chase after him!” Mackenzie ordered icily.
“Don’t!”
“Chase after him!”
The two women were at odds.
Emmanuel was truly in a predicament. Since it would be too late to catch up
with the ninja at this point, he simply stayed in place and watched the two
women confront each other.
“Are you alright, Emmanuel? Let me bandage your wound!” Claudette quickly
stopped arguing with Mackenzie and went up to the man, showing concern
for his injuries. She even pretended to be oblivious about Emmanuel’s
marriage and said, “If you ever get married, make sure not to marry someone
who lacks empathy, got it?”
Mackenzie hit the roof at once. She never thought that Claudette, the sweet
woman all of Yeringham thought she was, was actually a scheming b*tch!
Even though she and Emmanuel had never officially announced their
marriage, she refused to believe Claudette was still clueless after being
hinted at time and time again.
With that, Mackenzie went up to the two.
Despite Claudette’s wish to bandage Emmanuel’s wound, she had nothing on
her.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie took out a handkerchief, shoved Claudette aside, and
began to bandage Emmanuel’s wound. “Keep your eyes peeled, Emmanuel,
and don’t let yourself be deceived by those women who only know how to
sweet–talk!” She even reminded him coldly.
“You!” Claudette stomped her foot in anger.
Emmanuel couldn’t help smiling awkwardly. He truly couldn’t figure out
Mackenzie’s thoughts.
She was still upset with him when she headed out the door the morning
before, but now, she voluntarily helped him bandage his wound. Women
really were from Venus.
“Why did you come down, Mackenzie?” Emmanuel quickly got down to
serious business, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire.
“I… I came to enjoy the view, of course!”
Mackenzie certainly wouldn’t tell him the truth! Will I, a lady of the Quillen
family and the epitome of aloofness, tell you I came searching for you with
the rescue team because I was worried about you? Of course not!
Despite being her love rival, Claudette was also one of the women who knew
Mackenzie the best. Looks like Ms. Mackenzie here likes Emmanuel just as
much as I do!
“I see, but why were you calling out to me?”
Sure, Emmanuel might be straightforward and insensitive, but he certainly wasn’t dumb, or he wouldn’t have been able to outwit Quintus.
Moreover, he had obviously come over after hearing Mackenzie’s call. Could he have been mistaken?
Mackenzie flushed crimson at once. Emmanuel, you idiot! How dare you expose my lie so blatantly?
