Chapter 725


    Emmanuel still had his doubts.


    The woman in red was also a killer from the Redback Assassins. Although her


    position might not match up to her brother’s, she surely had substantial


    earnings. How did she be so poor?


    Mackenzie shared the doubts and confronted the woman in red directly as


    she asked, “Given your skills, even if you’re broke, have you not once


    considered sneaking into a pharmacy to steal some medical supplies?”


    “Hehe, you’re underestimating me!” the woman in red replied with a hint of


    pride. “We’re assassins, not thieves. Sneaky things like stealing? That’s not our


    style!”


    Emmanuel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Oh, really? So, who was sneaking


    around and following us today?”


    “Uh…


    The unexpected sight of the woman in red blushing with embarrassment


    caught them off guard.


    “Alright, I’ll have someone bring it over.” Mackenzie didn’t want to waste any


    more time.


    She had a couple of reasons for wanting to save the Snake Master.


    Firstly, he served as Emmanuel’s Snake ve and demonstrated


    considerablepetence. His recovery would undoubtedly prove valuable.


    Secondly, the Snake Master held a prominent position within the Redback


    Assassins. If he survived, he could potentially provide them with vital


    information.


    Notably, Mackenzie was also aware that Emmanuel seemed curiously


    interested in the peculiar pattern on the Snake Master’s face.


    Emmanuel paid no attention to who Mackenzie might direct to deliver


    medical supplies. Instead, he seized the opportunity to study the Snake


    Master’s body.


    The more he delved into understanding the Snake Master’s physique, the


    more astonished he became!


    It appeared that modern dark medicine had advanced to a level beyond the


    N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    hardly resembled that of a human anymore.


    The scales adorning his physique likely harbored mystical energy. However,


    they had now been forcibly stripped away, leaving his form bloody and his


    white bones exposed.


    “What kind of saintess is she? She’s practically a female demon!”


    Emmanuel couldn’t help but grind his teeth in anger, deeply disturbed by the


    brutal and inhumane treatment the Shake Master had endured.


    Mackenzie’s expression turned chilly as well, with a trace of hidden


    resentment. She seemed to be lost in thought but remained silent.


    After Emmanuel concluded his thorough examination, Mackenzie suddenly


    uttered, “Emmanuel,e with me!”


    With that, she walked out of the room directly.


    Emmanuel was momentarily stunned, his gaze shifting briefly toward the


    woman in red before he decided to follow Mackenzie.


    The woman in red pouted her lips, realizing that the couple intended to have


    a private discussion. She had no intention of foolishly intruding.


    Since Mackenzie had reserved the inn, they had the freedom to move around


    as they pleased.


    The two entered an empty room and locked the door behind them.


    “Mackenzie, what did you want to talk about?” Emmanuel was somewhat


    fatigued today. He sat on the bed and stretched his muscles to ease his


    exhaustion.


    The day had truly been a whirlwind for him. From enduring Rhea’s


    unconventional cuisine earlier to expending his energy rescuing people in the


    restaurant, and now finding himself here to treat the Snake Master, it felt like


    he had gone through a triathlon.


    However, Mackenzie found this ce dirty and refrained from sitting down.


    She stood the whole time and pursed her lips before finally asking, “Do you


    harbor suspicions about the woman in red?”


    “Yes!” Emmanuel nodded. “I’ve had the feeling that she’s been weaving


    half-truths all along.”


    “Then, do you really want to save the Snake Master? Aren’t you afraid of


    falling into a trap?” she asked with a frown.


    “I was worried about that at first, but upon witnessing his condition, I believe


    he won’t pose a threat. He wouldn’t have subjected himself to this level of


    harm just to coborate with someone and deceive me.”


    Emmanuel’s conviction was palpable.


    He knew that if he didn’t intervene and save the Snake Master, there was little


    chance that the Snake Master would survive until the next morning.


    Mackenzie gazed into his eyes for a lingering moment before releasing a


    sigh. “Alright, if you believe in them, I’ll put my trust in you too. I’ll have Lexi


    fetch the medical supplies, and then you can proceed with reviving him.”


    Emmanuel nodded in agreement.


    He was well aware of Mackenzie’s concerns. With Magnus having explicitly


    targeted two invaluable assets of the Quillen family and the sudden


    emergence of the enigmatic Holy Fire organization in Yeringham, it was


    highly likely that the Quillen family was also in their crosshairs.


    There could even be potential ties to the Zelinsky family of Zovince.


    Given these circumstances, Mackenzie’s cautious approach was entirely


    warranted.


    “Mackenzie, you seem quite worn out. How about taking a hot bath to unwind


    for a while?”
