Chapter 631
“Mackenzie! Mackenzie, where are you? Answer me!” Emmanuel spun around
1
in the forest, shouting at the top of his lungs.
He couldn’t see Mackenzie, but he had a strong intuition that his wife was
nearby.
Master’s butterflies are still guiding me. I should be on the right track!`
The next moment, a small patch of snow fell in front of him.
Emmanuel looked up. There was nothing on the tall tree above him. However,
a strong sense of danger surged within him, and it felt somewhat familiar. No,
they’re not trying to assassinate my wife again, are they?!
Swoosh! A red silhouette darted toward him out of nowhere, and within came
a chilling glint.
It was a dagger.
Emmanuel swiftly dodged to the side and, in one fluid motion, used a
powerful grip to catch the red figure.
!
“Since you’ve come, reveal yourself!”
1
Emmanuel attempted to subdue the opponent, but to his surprise, the red
figure was more agile than he had imagined and suddenly slipped into his
embrace.
It startled him, and he quickly used his other hand to control the intruder.
Suddenly, a warmth spread in his chest, accompanied by a soft sensation,
and an aromatic scent of orchids filled his heart.
“Hehe, I do like the way you’re holding me, but aren’t you afraid your wife will
see us like this?”
1
The red figure turned out to be a devilishly well–proportioned woman, but she
was dressed skimpily on such a cold day.
“It’s you!” Emmanuel didn’t let go of the assassin, for he knew very well that
the person before him was an elite assassin from the Redback Assassins.
Once he let go, it would bring endless trouble.
“It’s me! Since you’re holding me so tightly and I can’t struggle, I can only go
along with your wishes,” said the assassin in red. She closed her eyes and
tilted her head back, assuming a posture of surrender.
“Get lost!” Emmanuel chucked her away, ultimately afraid of the shameless
assassin.
Lo and behold, the assassin in red lifted her legs and lay on her side after
dropping to the ground, and her chest trembled following her giggles.
“Where is my wife? Speak, or I’ll kill you in this instance!” Emmanuel exuded a
murderous aura. The last time he encountered the assassin in red, she had
conspired with others to assassinatè Mackenzie in the valley. He wouldn’t
show her mercy now that she had come to him again!
“My, my, someone’s gotten quite an upgrade. I can’t possibly defeat you now.
I’m really scared…” said the assassin in red, pretending to be vulnerable.
Any man would’ve gotten weak in their knees that instant. However,
Emmanuel showed not even a sliver of sympathy for her. In fact, he knew full
well that that was a necessary skill for female assassins. As such, he charged
toward her, shackling her by her tender neck with one hand.
“Are you going to speak or not? If you don’t, I’ll kill you immediately!” His grip
on her tightened further as he reiterated.
Though the woman’s face had turned crimson, she kept her lips sealed, and
her eyes displayed an inexplicable stubbornness.
If it weren’t for that look in her eyes, Emmanuel could have squeezed the life
out of her. That said, he thought the assassin was behaving rather
inexplicably as if she held some strange grudge against him. What on earth
is going on?
Ultimately, he eased his grip slightly and threatened again, “Will you speak or
not?”
“Hehehe…” The assassin in red giggled smugly. Knowing Emmanuel wouldn’t
kill her, she even brazenly extended her fair hand and gently caressed his
cheek. “I can tell you where she is, but on one condition!“
Chapter 632
Emmanuel brushed her hand away, afraid that the enchantress would play
some tricks. “If you have something to say, spit it out!”
“Hehe, how powerful and cool you are, Wolf Warrior. I like you so, so much.
What should I do?” The assassin in red revealed Emmanual’s identity again
infatuatedly.
Emmanuel frowned in response. Why in the world do so many people know
my identity as the Northern Region Wolf Warrior? Have I, the Wolf Warrior, hide
my identity for nothing?!
“I can tell you her whereabouts, of course, but… you’ll have to kiss me!” said
the assassin in red brazenly, pointing at her tender cheek.
“You’re crazy!” Emmanuel rolled his eyes. He thought she would make him
chop off a hand or eradicate his martial arts and whatnot. I’d yield for my
wife’s sake even if you make me beg on my knees, but you want me to kiss
you?! Who threatens someone like this?!
“Hehe, but I am crazy! Do you have the cure for it?” The assassin in red’s gaze
at Emmanuel was somewhat smug, evidently joyful.
“I don’t have time for games. Will you tell me or not?!” Emmanuel tightened
his grip again.
With that, the assassin in red’s stubborn gaze returned, and she smirked
triumphantly. “Cough, cough… Just kill me, then! Either way… my life has long
belonged to you. But… if you kill me, you can be certain your wife will die! It
won’t be too bad for me to go down to hell with her. Who knows? The King of
Hell might think we’re… sisters!”
“What do you mean?” Emmanuel was truly angry and helpless. He was
genuinely helpless against this witch.
Meanwhile, the assassin in red smirked triumphantly as her thoughts
returned to over four years ago.
t
She was fifteen at the time. Due to her exceptional talent, she gained her
master’s appreciation and underwent special training in the assassin
system, quickly becoming a dazzling rising star in the Redback Assassins.
She lived up to everyone’s expectations and successfully completed ten
missions in one go. But just when she was full of confidence, she encountered
the greatest setback in her assassin’s life.
That time, she and dozens of elite predecessors from the Redback Assassins
formed a team to assassinate a high–ranking Northern Region official.
She thought the organization was making a big deal out of nothing at the
time. She had killed many figures of this level before, so she didn’t think the
target was worth them deploying so many agents.
Little did she expect that on that night, the high–ranking official was drinking
with a soldier from the Northern Region. The dozens of elite Redback
Assassins were wholly defeated by that one man.
The assassin in red was deeply shocked at the time, both admiring and
hating that man. How can there be such a powerful man in the world?!
Even more unexpectedly, her mask accidentally slipped off after the man
killed all her comrades.
When he discovered that she was just a teenage girl, the man reproached
icily, “Leave! You’re still young and shouldn’t have sold your soul to the devil!
Take care of yourself, and never let me see you again!”
And so, the assassin in red looked back at that god–like man while running
away.
She swore to herself after that that she would either kill this man with her own
hands to avenge her brothers and sisters or she would marry him. Only a
powerful man was worthy of being her husband!
Later, she learned that the man was the Northern Region Wolf Warrior, an
undefeated legend! However, to her dismay, he had forgotten completely
about her when they met again years later.
Livid, she swore that she would make him recall her and also have him kiss
her.
She knew the opportunity had presented itself, and she threatened
Emmanuel. “Someone has paid 12 million and appointed my eldest senior, the
third–ranked super agent of Redback Assassins, to assassinate your wife. If
you don’t go save her soon, she might be drained of blood!”
“What?!” Emmanuel was beyond frightened. Mom will be devastated if
Mackenzie dies, and so will !!
“So? Will you kiss me?” The assassin in red asked with a triumphant threat.
“Kiss me, and I’ll tell you where she is right now!”
Chapter 633
The situation felt awfully familiar to Emmanuel.
The nightmare of the Northern Region Wolf Warrior back then was to be
forced to make an unsolvable decision.
If he chose to take the left, the entire Wolf Warrior Unit would be wiped out.
The right, the Northern Region strategy would fail, and he would become an
eternal criminal.
At the time, Emmanuel chose to head right, for he couldn’t let his
brothers–in–arms die before him. This day, he was once again faced with a
once again at a crossroad.
“Come on, give me a kiss, or your wife will die!” the assassin in red said and
brought her lips closer to him.
She had longed to kiss Emmanuel and swore four years ago that she would
make this man hers. However, when she saw Emmanuel’s sorrowful gaze, her
body jolted as if something had pierced her heart.
Emmanuel didn’t kiss her. However, taking advantage of Emmanuel’s
inattention, she pecked his lips lightly.
“You!” Emmanuel shoved her away mercilessly, then wiped his lips frantically,
worried her lips were laced with poison.
“Hehe…” Despite being mercilessly thrown to the ground, her palms throbbing
with pain, and blood stains everywhere, the assassin in red still giggled
happily. “Don’t worry, I didn’t poison you! It’s so amusing to see a big old virgin
embarrassed like this after being kissed by a woman!”
“Shut up!” Emmanuel did feel his cheeks slightly heating up.
To think a witch shameless enough to force a kiss on a man exists!
“Hehe… I really won’t say a thing, then! Too bad I wanted to tell you where
Mackenzie is…” the assassin in red teased.
“Speak up!” Emmanuel threatened her again, his animosity growing by the
second. He had lost all patience at this point.
“Hmph, scary much! I wonder if you’re this fierce with Mackenzie.” The
assassin in red pouted with feigned anger before finally pointing in a
direction.
Emmanuel looked toward it at once and thought there indeed seemed to be
some traces.
The next moment, he ran toward it like a madman.
Meanwhile, mixed emotions crept up on the assassin in red as she gazed at
his leaving figure. She slumped onto the snowy ground and looked at the
snow stained red with her blood.
“I still showed up too late, huh? He already has a woman residing in his heart!”
the assassin in red muttered, then suddenly gritted her teeth fiercely. “An
assassin shouldn’t have feelings! Damn it!”
Emmanuel couldn’t be bothered with the assassin in red anymore, even
though he noticed she might differ from her fellow Redback Assassins
members.
The Redback Assassins organization was enough to make even some
high–ranking officials in the Northern Region turn pale, and they were listed
as deadly on the watchlist.
The assassins of the Redback Assassins were the elite among global
assassins. As such, the third–ranked assassin would be the cream of the crop
among the elite.
Emmanuel vaguely remembered that the tenth–ranked assassin of the
Redback Assassins had already claimed hundreds of lives, and he couldn’t
fathom the level of terror this third–ranked assassin possessed.
“Mackenzie!” Emmanuel arrived at the edge of the hill and discovered signs of
someone falling there, causing his heart to race instantly.
At the same time, at the village entrance, Terence, who had been anxiously
waiting for news of his granddaughter for a long time, was like a cat on hot
bricks.
In this age, the Quillen family had made numerous enemies in the business
world. So they would collapse if anything happened to his granddaughter.
“Sir, I found some information.” Alfred suddenly approached him with a tablet
and said, “Zaniel Kennedy died long ago!”
Terence jolted in surprise, for Queenie had specifically spoken to Emmanuel
and Mackenzie in front of the square. That was why Terence remembered
the couples names.
Chapter 634
The man Queenie married was Zaniel Kennedy, and both he and Emmanuel
found the man strange.
If the real Zaniel Kennedy had already died, then who was the man by
Queenie’s side?
“This is bad!” Terence, who had experienced countless trials and tribulations,
immediately guessed what was happening. It was certain that assassins had
targeted his granddaughter and had carefully plotted to eliminate her.
“Quick! Disperse everyone! Even if we have to turn Hero’s Village upside down,
we must find Mackenzie and bring her back!” Terence anxiously ordered, his
voice filled with urgency.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie had been surrounded by numerous disgusting little
snakes at the foot of the hill.
Though she was no fighter in the martial world, being from the Quillen family
and hearing some stuff from Alfred, she had a good guess as to the kind of
assassin she was facing–Snake Master.
It was said that such a person could control all snakes at will; they were the
soul of the snake clan. Such individuals were rare in the world.
“To be able to employ someone like this to kill me, it seems that someone
truly hates me to the core…” Mackenzie couldn’t help ridiculing herself.
The next moment, those worms–sized blood snakes leaped toward
Mackenzie, attacking their prey like a volley of arrows!
Sh*t! Mackenzie knew she wasn’t able enough to break through the
encirclement, but being a sitting duck had never been her style.
Wielding the Empress Blade in her hand, she ruthlessly cut off two small
snakes, and the pungent smell of their bloody fluids only stimulated the other
small snakes, making them go crazy and bite her.
While fighting, Mackenzie retreated, but soon, she had nowhere left to retreat,
and a sense of despair spread across her.
She had imagined hundreds of ways she would die, but never had she
thought she would end up as snake food.
Hiss! Several more snakes hissed and lunged at her. She was already worn
out at this point, and her hand wielding the blade had become weak.
Just as she was about to give up, a familiar voice rang out. “Mackenzie!”
She looked up, and to her surprise, Emmanuel descended from the sky. What
is he, Superman?!
Boom! Emmanuel landed beside her, and the powerful impact shook off all
the small snakes that had surrounded Mackenzie.
At that, he snatched the Empress Blade from Mackenzie’s hand and swiftly
cut through the chaos, instantly turning countless small snakes into pools of
blood and mush.
Incredible! By the time the young woman came to her senses, more than half
of the snakes that had surrounded her were dead, and the rest quickly fled.
“Are you alright, Mackenzie?” Emmanuel finally planted the Empress Blade
into the ground and anxiously held her shoulder.
Emmanuel’s urgency and anxiety hadn’t gone unnoticed by Mackenzie, and
the anger that had been pent up within her vanished instantly. Could this be
what they say about couples fighting but making up in the end?
Mackenzie was never one to forgive someone so easily, but she knew her
anger toward her so–called husband would subside pretty quickly. How
infuriating!
“I’m okay, but it seems like I’ve been targeted by a Snake Master!” Mackenzie
said calmly, without any trace of panic from earlier.
“I know. Someone paid 12 million to have him come after you, but don’t worry,
I’ll track him down now and put an end to this!” Emmanuel finally relaxed
upon seeing that his wife was unharmed.
Mackenzie nodded, found a rock, and sat down quietly before asking
Emmanuel, “Do you need my help?”
“No, leave this kind of thing to your man,” Emmanuel replied with a gentle
smile. “Just sit quietly and don’t be afraid no matter what happens later. Trust
that your husband will protect you!”
Chapter 635
“Mm! I have faith in you.” Mackenzie regained her usual aloofness and
elegance, firmly stating, “I’m not afraid ́at all now. I know you can definitely
protect me.”
Not only was she not afraid, but she also took out two pieces of chewing gum
from her pocket, keeping one for herself and gently putting the other one in
Emmanuel’s mouth.
Boxing competitors in the arena often chew gum to reduce stress. Moreover,
experiments have shown that chewing gum helps improve concentration.
After doing all that, Mackenzie finally checked the surroundings, trying to find
where the Snake Master was hiding.
Meanwhile, the assassin in red sneaked down, wanting to secretly observe
how Emmanuel would fight with her eldest senior. But she never expected
that as soon as she arrived, she would overhear the conversation between
the couple.
What was that saying again? ‘Lovebirds on display make singles dismayed.‘ A
pang of jealousy hit the bachelorette as she was unexpectedly fed PDA by
the loving couple.
“He’s here!” Emmanuel suddenly said.
The next second, the snow on the hillside began to flurry as if it had come to
life.
Gradually, it billowed. The scene was like one from an anime when a master
appeared.
However, after the wind and snow subsided, no one appeared. Instead,
countless snakes magically emerged.
Due to their large numbers, the snakes‘ skins were either brown or dark red.
They slithered together, resembling a blood sea rippling and churning.
A Sea of Blood Snakes!
Rumor had it that a Snake Master would feed their snakes with their own
blood and internal energy, turning them into the world’s most evil and
ferocious venomous creatures. These snakes regarded him as their mother,
and whenever their ‘mother‘ gave an order, they would fulfill it even at the
cost of their lives. Such a large number of snakes couldn’t be cultivated in just
a year or two!
The assassin in red, who was secretly watching the battle, was also secretly
shocked. To think my dear senior would use all the scarlet snakes he had
nurtured for years to deal with Emmanuel. Well, the client sure has his 12
million worth!
Controlled by the Snake Master, the venomous snakes relentlessly lunged
toward Emmanuel and Mackenzie, one after another. It was like a tide of
blood about to engulf them.
Though not afraid, Mackenzie was still grossed out by the scene.
They were slimy and looked like flowing blood. The disgust was so
overwhelming that she even forgot to chew her gum.
Although she hadn’t been bitten, goosebumps covered her whole body.
On the other hand, Emmanuel’s countenance was grim as he picked up the
Empress Blade from the ground, his gaze resembling that of a hunting hawk.
He inserted the blade into the ground and began drawing a circle–after his
meridians had been restored, he could infuse his internal energy into the
dagger–and the ground shimmered with a faint edge, resembling a divine
mirror.
Hiss! Hiss! The snakes opened their bloody mouths and lunged toward the
two of them, ready to bite.
Ultimately, Mackenzie couldn’t take it and threw herself into Emmanuel’s
arms.
At that, Emmanuel held his wife with one hand while wielding the military
knife with the other.
Then, something astonishing happened.
As Emmanuel swung his knife, the clumps of mud on the ground shot forward
like beams of light, crashing into the venomous snakes as if bullets
penetrated through.
Boom!
One venomous snake immediately fell to the ground, twitching a few times
before becoming completely still.
It was incredibly shocking.
Even the assassin in red couldn’t help marveling at the extraordinary martial
skill. What kind of technique is this?!
However, these venomous snakes were not human; they had no fear!
Feeding on the Snake Master’s energy and blood, they were bound to be
fiercely loyal to him!
Countless snakes continued to charge toward Emmanuel, one after another.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Chapter 636
Emmanuel continued to wield the Empress Blade, and the clumps of mud on
the ground kept shooting toward the venomous snakes.
Despite being unarmed, he fought like a warrior with a Gatling gun,
single–handedly defending against the assault of the snake army.
The sound of penetration echoed in his ears.
The ground gradually turned into a sea of blood. The venomous snakes
charged again and again, but in the end, they were engulfed by the sea of
blood.
Just when Emmanuel thought he had won a glorious victory, the Snake
Master appeared from right above, reaching out to grab Emmanuel’s head.
and not their martial arts skills. Whoever was alive was the victor.
Mackenzie frowned in response. This idiot! Can’t he have cheated information
