“You fool, how are you going to handle this? If we can’t find anypany willing to handle logistics for
us in five days, it’ll dy the shipment. In that case, we’ll need to pay argepensation.”
After she had a heartyugh, Mackenzie put on a stern face, trying to intimidate Emmanuel into
speaking the truth. Is he just talking nonsense, or does he have a n?
“Five days?” Emmanuel murmured as he frowned. Then, he eventually answered with a firm nod, “It
shouldn’t be a problem.”

to no avail.

Emmanuel didn’t need words to understand what went on in her mind. He gently squeezed her
shoulder and/ promised, “Mackenzie, rx and trust me just this once, will you? I genuinely care about
you, so I wouldn’t joke about something like this!”
His words blew her mind. She was unprepared for his sudden deration of love. It struck her, causing
her mind to go nk, unable to respond.
Emmanuel studied her delicate face in proximity as he felt his heart pound faster.
As if possessed, he drew himself closer to her. Terence’s words rang in his mind. Be bold, and go for it!
Just when he was about to im her lips, a whimper snapped them out of their private moment.
It was Beatrix. Realizing that the pair was about to kiss, she shrieked excitedly. No! I can’t ruin their
special moment! The idea crossed her mind. Therefore, she hurriedly covered her mouth, which
exined the muffled whimper.
As if on cue, Mackenzie snapped out of her trance. ming Emmanuel foring up with the stupid
idea to kiss her, she pushed him off her and turned to Beatrix. “W-What’s wrong, Beatrix?”
“I’m sorry, Mackenzie! I-I didn’t mean to interrupt you! Don’t mind me. Just carry on with whatever you
are doing. B-Bye!”
At that, Beatrix turned on her heel and ran away. I’m such an idiot! I can’t believe that I ruined
Emmanuel’s special moment after he bravely fought off bad guys for me today.
After Beatrix left, Mackenzie red at Emmanuel. Her hardened eyes seemed to be saying one thing.
‘Exin yourself, Mr. Lowe.’
Scratching his head in embarrassment, he abruptly changed the subject. “Let’s go back, Mackenzie.”
She sneered at him one more time before walking toward the Maserati.
He stared at her in confusion. What does that mean? Well, there’s no use dwelling on that. We can
leave it forter. It’s time to go home.

“Emmanuel, thanks to you, Ashton has finally identified the murder suspect of Sebastian’s car
ident!”
“Who is it?” Emmanuel asked.
“A well-trained guy who currently serves as Magnus’ personal bodyguard. Taking him’ down will be a
challenge,” Sagemented.
Emmanuel chuckled at Sage’s tone. “Sage, this doesn’t sound like you. Back on the battlefield, you
defeated the White Hawk, the man who made himself known among the seven nations, with your
unwavering
determination. You also depended on your strong belief to kill eight enemy generals with your bare
hands. Who’s there to be afraid of?”
Sage forced a smile at Emmanuel’s tease. “Emmanuel, it all happened back when I was in my prime.
Besides, I was still no match for him when I was in my prime. You’re our only hope to take him down.”
“Oh, who exactly is that guy?” Sage’s statement piqued Emmanuel’s curiosity. After all, only a few
people in this world could make Sage feel humbled.
