Chapter 77
Seeing everyone gather around Mackenzie while ignoring him, Emmanuel
could not help but let out a bitter smile.
As he entered the room and set down the things he was carrying,
someone suddenly called out to him from behind, “Manny!”
“Yes, Ryder?” Although Emmanuel was considered naïve in Mackenzie’s
