Chapter 1203 No One Around
It seems this fool really cares about me.
Lies could be told, but subconscious actions couldn’t be feigned.
“I just found a better hiding spot.” Mackenzie pursed her lips and took the initiative to ask, “Are you okay?”
At that, she nervously examined him from head to toe, afraid he might be injured.
“I’m fine. They’re just a bunch of small fries!” Emmanuel casually smiled. His wife was starting to show concern for
him. A lot had changed from before.
“But the tunnel ahead is destroyed, and we can’t go back using this road,” Mackenzie said with concern. This meant her grandfather’s bodyguards sent to pick her up wouldn’t be able to meet up with them.
“We can only take the path by the river.” Emmanuel thought for a moment and said, “But they might ambush there
too.”
“How about notifying Captain Payne now?” Mackenzie suggested.
Being a powerful woman in the business world, she was also well-versed in military strategy and various tactical books. Now that the mountain tunnel was destroyed, and the attackers were not many, it was obvious that it was a feigned attack. Their goal was to divert them onto another route, where there was a high likelihood of a genuine
ambush.
“Notifying Sage now can indeed engage in a bloodbath with the Holy Fire organization, ensuring our safety home, but…” Emmanuel left his words hanging, clearly hesitating.
“You don’t want to do that,” Mackenzie, intelligent and witty, immediately responded. “Do you have a deeper
purpose?”
Emmanuel nodded. He believed the matter had to be resolved. Magnus was certainly behind the events of the past two days. Even if Magnus wasn’t the mastermind, Emmanuel wanted to take down the mastermind behind this incident, seeking revenge for his cousin and the deceased members of the Terence Group.
Moreover, this would also deter others who wanted to seize the Heart of the Sun, making them think twice before laying hands on the Quillen family. Otherwise, the Quillen family would have to constantly hide under police protection in the future.
“Alright, we’ll take the estuary road.”
“Mackenzie, you-” Emmanuel suddenly became nervous and quickly tried to dissuade her, “I’ll go alone. It’s too dangerous. You don’t need to take risks with me!”
“Aren’t we a married couple?” With just one sentence, Mackenzie silenced Emmanuel, starting him. “Besides, since the other party’s meticulously planned scheme, you won’t be able to lure out the mastermind without me and the
Heart of the Sun.”

“But…” Emmanuel still didn’t want Mackenzie to take the risk with him.
“What? You just said that no matter what, you’ll protect me, Was that just a casual remark that can’t withstand a test?” Mackenzie deliberately provoked him, “You protected Ashton for two days. Are you so annoyed about protecting your wife? Do men always prefer women outside?”
“Nonsense!” Emmanuel retorted immediately, worked up. “My relationship with Ashton is just business, but protecting you is a lifelong commitment!”
Bang!
