Chapter 630


    “Emmanuel!” Mackenzie emerged from the snow in the forest below when


    she heard someone calling her. The icy CEO of Terence Group, who was


    usually cold andposed, was a bit disheveled at the moment.


    After just pping Sarah out of anger, she left the Lowe residence. As she


    was unfamiliar with the surroundings, she inexplicably found herself in the


    western forest when she intended to walk back to the vige entrance and


    leave by car.


    But just as she was about to turn back, a red serpent appeared beneath her


    feet, startling her unexpectedly. The entire snake was bright red, as if


    drenched in blood. Moreover, it possessed some kind of spirituality, coiling


    itself on the path Mackenzie intended to take.


    Having no choice, Mackenzie, who never backed down, had to make way for


    this cold–blooded creature to ensure her safety. s, with this change of


    direction, shepletely lost her way.


    She attempted to make phone calls for help, only to realize that there was no


    signal coverage in this area. It was too remote. To make matters worse, it


    was getting dark, and snakes kept emerging along the roadside.


    “What the hell is this ce?!”


    Mackenzie—who used to pride herself on her courage—gradually felt hints of


    anxiousness seeping through. Fear of snakes was a natural instinct for many


    girls, and seeing so many snakes all at once made even her feel a bit


    uneasy, causing goosebumps to rise all over her body.


    In a moment of carelessness, she tumbled down from the slope andnded


    in a pile of snow, feeling extremely cold and ufortable.


    “This is a snow tomb!” Someone suddenly responded to Mackenzie’s mutter


    in the deste woods below the slope. It was absolutely eerie!


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “Who goes there?!” Mackenzie broke out in a cold sweat instantly, but she


    remained calm on the surface. The CEO’s courage was now on disy.


    “impressive for a 12 million target, still keeping yourposure in such a


    situation, not bad!” That voice came again.


    However, Mackenzie still couldn’t determine the other person’s location. With


    that, she reached into her pocket.


    Thirteen years ago, her father bought her a military knife while he was


    abroad and gave it to her as a birthday gift. He admonished her, saying, “Girls


    will encounter countless dangers in their lives, especially beautiful girls. You


    must learn to protect yourself! This knife is called the Empress de. It may


    be able to protect you when I can’t be with you.”


    The Empress de barely came into use, but at this moment, she knew she


    had to bring it out. After all, someone was willing to pay 12 million for her life.


    “Mackenzie, where are you? Mackenzie!” Emmanuel’s voice came again from


    above the hill.


    The young woman breathed a silent sigh of relief. As long as the idiot was by


    her side, she would have a strong sense of security. That was also one


    reason she didn’t want to leave him.


    Unfortunately, before she could respond, that ethereal voice spoke again. “I


    wouldn’t scream and shout if I were you, Ms. Quillen. There are small snakes


    the size of earthworms in the snow. They hate noise. If you shout, they will


    immediately bite you and suck your blood!”


    What?! Mackenzie freaked out at once and quickly jumped out of the


    snowdrift.


    The voice wasn’t lying. After she jumped out, small eerie heads indeed


    emerged from where she had been, resembling worms in apples. One by


    one, the small snakes crawled out slowly, sticking out their crimson tongues.


    Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! The sound made her scalp tingle.


    “N–No… This can’t be!” Mackenzie had heard of snake masters before, but


    witnessing it firsthand made her realize that they were a hundred times more


    terrifying than she had imagined.
