Chapter 640


    In ordance with the rules of the Redback Assassins, what awaited the


    Snake Master were punishments, and the greater the job, the harsher the


    penalty. Even if he survived the punishment, he would no longer receive any


    further recognition or be given another opportunity.


    “There will always be a way out, Brother. Not all hope is lost. We’re still alive,


    aren’t we?”


    She had actually advised her brother against this assignment when he first


    received it.


    She still didn’t know that Emmanuel had regained his strength at the time.


    She was simply worried that her brother would kill Emmanuel and followed


    him over, prepared to plead for Emmanuel’s life to repay her debt from many


    years ago. But who’d have thought it would end up like this?!


    Emmanuel, however, no longer paid attention to the pair of siblings; his


    thoughts were focused on his wife.


    Although Mackenzie walked alongside him as they left, she quickly picked up


    her pace and left him behind after a short distance. It was evident that once


    they were alone, her icy and proud demeanor resurfaced.


    “Mackenzie!” Emmanuel caught up to her and grabbed her hand.


    “Don’t touch me! Go be with your Sarah! She’s willing to show her naked self


    to you! How good does she look with her ample bosom and curvaceous


    figure, smooth and tender skin!” Mackenzie flung his and away icily, clearly


    still holding a grudge.


    Emmanuel was rendered both frustrated and amused. His dear wife was


    jealous of Sarah again.


    “Mackenzie, listen to me. Sarah saved the sister of a fallenrade for me


    and brought her over to visit me. She identally fell into the river and got


    her clothes soaked. That was why she took them off. Please don’t get the


    wrong idea. There’s really nothing between us.” Emmanuel quickly grabbed


    Mackenzie’s hand again, exining in one breath.

    However, Mackenzie still shook off his hand and muttered coldly, “That viper


    must’ve done it on purpose!”


    “Viper?” Emmanuel was slightly taken aback. He hadn’t really associated


    Sarah with a snake before.


    Wasn’t it because of the Snake Master that they saw a sea of snakes that


    day?!


    Mackenzie suddenly shot her icy gaze at Emmanuel and ranted, “It’s obvious


    you care more about that viper than me! If you never intended to chase after


    me in the first ce, whye looking for me now?! I don’t need your


    protection. I can protect myself just fine. Don’t be delusional!”


    With that, she shook off Emmanuel’s hand again, and Emmanuel grabbed her


    hand for the third time, refusing to let her go.


    Alfred, who was searching nearby, caught the noise and maneuvered


    through the tall trees silently and swiftly. In the dim light of the night, he found


    -Mackenzie from a considerable distance.


    Alfred was overjoyed and was about to approach the youngdy when he


    noticed Emmanuel holding her tightly. He immediately halted his


    movements, and a faint smirk appeared on his lips.


    “Forget it. I’ll go back and inform Old Mr. Quillen to put his mind at ease.”


    Alfred leaped down from the tall tree, leaving no trace in the snow as he


    departed from the scene.


    “Mackenzie, please don’t be so prickly, and let me exin,” Emmanuel


    pleaded urgently. “You ran out so suddenly while my mother passed out from


    anger. Of course, I had to make sure she was safe before I coulde


    looking! But who’d have thought you ran so far away that I couldn’t find you


    at all?!”


    Emmanuel’s words stumped Mackenzie a little. She had no idea Alessandra


    had passed out.


    She had been seething with anger, waiting for Emmanuel toe out and


    exin himself. But as time went on with no sign of him, her anger had


    escted, driving her to lose herposure.


    Hmph, cursed love again!


    It had turned her, an extremely rational and almost emotionless woman, into


    someone no different from an ordinary woman!


    “Can you go back with me now, Mackenzie? Don’t get angry so easily


    anymore, okay?” Emmanuel coaxed, relieved that she didn’t shake him off


    again.


    In truth, Mackenzie had already forgiven him. But she thought it would be too


    easy on her so–called husband if she, the esteemed princess of the Quillen


    family, forgave him so quickly.


    No, that absolutely cannot happen!


    “Hmph, isn’t it because of you that I’m mad?! I’ll hurt myself if you dare piss


    me off again!” Mackenzie flung his hand away but didn’t walk away this time.


    “You’d go that far?!” Emmanuel said with a slight terror.


    He still remembered how Abellyn stabbed Ryder when she was made angry


    and thought that was pretty ruthless in itself. But who’d have thought his wife


    was even more ruthless, even swearing to harm herself when she got angry.
