Chapter 305


    It wasn’t until she called out to Emmanuel for a long time that the sounds of


    movements came from her surroundings.


    Mackenzie stopped at once, but very quickly, she furrowed her brows, for it


    didn’t sound like two people, and definitely not like the rescue team.


    “Emmanuel, is that you?” she called out softly.


    However, she received no response. If anything, the footsteps became even


    quieter!


    An assassin? Mackenzie quickly felt an impending doom.


    Since embarking on the journey, she knew this was the Verkade brothers‘


    trap. However, she still came because she didn’t want Emmanuel and


    udette to be together, and she couldn’t resist her grandfather’s pressure


    either.


    Now, in order to save Emmanuel, she had finally fallen into the man’s


    carefully arranged trap.


    .


    She didn’t think someone as simple–minded as Hubert would n a


    follow–up attack. This was more likely Gautier’s setup.


    Hence, Mackenzie was even more nervous now.


    Whoosh!


    A dark figure approached her, but when she nced over, it had already


    disappeared into the night.


    “Come on out! Don’t hide anymore. I’m right here!” Mackenzie said icily into


    the night, her usually gentle eyes now incredibly piercing.


    She grew up learning martial arts precisely to be able to protect herself in


    moments like this.


    However, there was nothing but dead silence in the night, as if she were the


    only one in the vast darkness.


    She knew someone was there, and they were close by. However, she couldn’t


    pinpoint their location urately. The uneasiness made her increasingly


    nervous.


    A ninja! The assassin is a ninja!


    As the heir of the Quillen family, she grew up seeing almost all the world


    could offer. Hence, she had a good understanding of ninjas. In fact, she was


    well aware that some of the best international assassins were elite ninjas.


    She just hoped that this assassination wasn’t one of them, or she would


    certainly be dead meat there and then.


    There was nothing but silence there. Even the sound of a gentle breeze felt


    jarring.


    Just then, the sound of a de being swung ripped through the air, sending


    shivers down Mackenzie’s spine.


    As soon as she leaped backward, a silver gleamnded exactly where she


    had been standing a second ago, and her hair, along with the weeds beside


    her, was neatly sliced!


    Mackenzie broke out in a cold sweat, petrified.


    Despite being well–versed in martial arts, she was still no match for a skilled


    opponent like this guy.

    “Emmanuel, you idiot! Come save me!”


    In the moment of crisis, all she could think of was her husband, who had once


    saved her. Unfortunately, there was no one around except for herself out


    there.


    The assassin’s attack was avoided, and they immediately disappeared into


    the darkness.


    Mackenzie hadpletely lost track of the assassin, feeling as if the sword of


    death was hanging over her head. The next move from her assant would


    leave her with no chance to dodge.


    “Die, woman!” A chilling voice rang out in the night.


    Despite it being a differentnguage, Mackenzie was multilingual. Hence, she


    understood him perfectly.


    Of course, the assassin was merciless and had not a sliver of sympathy for


    Mackenzie. His job was to kill regardless of how beautiful his victim was.


    Shoot! When Mackenzie came around, the dagger was already approaching


    her, and at breakneck speed. It was aiming to sever her fair, slender neck.
