âIn the mouths of high-ranking members of the Holy Fire organization, we have placed several types of
drugs. When necessary, we can pierce them to use for self-destruction or to send signals!
âJust now, I just used your mouth as a cover. In reality, I pierced a small sachet, and Trisha will come to
rescue me when she smells the fragrance!â The woman in white explained, leaving Emmanuel
breaking into a cold sweat. Fortunately, she didnât use a poisonous sac for suicide, otherwise, he would
be in trouble, too.
âOh, by the way, what did you mean by your question just now?â The woman in white asked.
âNothingâ¦â Emmanuel smiled. âI was just diverting your attention, thinking you were about to do
something reckless again. Now, letâs wait for someone to come rescue us.â
The woman in white stared at him, half-believing, half-doubting. She couldnât shake the feeling that this
man wasnât as simple as he appeared. How could someone with his skill survive multiple life-and-death
battles in the Northern Region? However, in this situation, what tricks could he possibly have left?
Meanwhile, at the bridge over the river, Ashton led her team to Mackenzie.
The Holy Fire organizationâs thugs were either dead or scattered at this point, meaning the crisis on this
side had been completely resolved. However, Mackenzie showed no signs of relief. She had been
waiting for updates from the Quillen familyâs bodyguards, anticipating information about Emmanuel.
However, they couldnât locate Emmanuel at short notice.
âMs. Mackenzie, why donât you come back with us for now?â Logan urged. âOnce we find Mr. Lowe,
weâll inform you immediately!â
Mackenzie remained silent, just shaking her head while gazing at the dark river. The turbulent flow was
still very intense. Without relying on the swift currents, walking downstream along the river would take
at least two hours.
Ashton looked at Mackenzie with a sense of foreboding. Sure enough, in the next moment, Mackenzie
suddenly jumped into the river.
âHey, are you crazy?!â Ashton exclaimed.
âMs. Mackenzie!â Logan also shouted in shock, quickly instructing, âQuick! Go and rescue Ms.
Mackenzie! She canât swim!â
The group was immediately in chaos.
Subsequently, Logan and others also jumped down one after another. They were the Quillen familyâs
bodyguards, and if anything happened to Mackenzie, they wouldnât be able to explain it to Terence
âCrazy woman!â Ashton was also shocked by Mackenzieâs actions. What is she doing jumping when
she canât swim?! Is she trying to get herself killed?!
In the past, she would have undoubtedly jumped without hesitation. She could certainly follow after
Mackenzie However, her current physical condition didnât allow for such recklessness She quickly
drove a police motorcycle

In the past, she would have undoubtedly jumped without hesitation. She could certainly follow after
Mackenzie. However, her current physical condition didnât allow for such recklessness. She quickly
drove a police motorcycle and rushed down the rugged riverside road.
After jumping into the river, Mackenzie realized the rapid flow of the water. Her swimming skills were
indeed lacking, haunted by the events in Yeternia. Since her return, she had diligently practiced in the
Quillen familyâs private pool almost every day. Now, drifting downstream without any sharp rocks, she
managed to make it to the lower reaches.
Cough, cough⦠Mackenzie, drenched and shivering, violently coughed as she struggled to climb
ashore. Her whole body was wet, and a chill ran through her.
Before she could gather her thoughts, a dagger was pressed against her neck, causing her entire body
to tremble. When she looked up, it was Trisha.
âEmmanuel protected you so desperately just now, yet here you come, walking right toward me.
Heheâ¦â Trisha sneered. âHand over the Heart of the Sun now, and I might spare your life.â
Mackenzie, undeterred, replied coldly, âThe Heart of the Sun isnât with me. I handed it to Emmanuel
long ago!â
âDo you think Iâll believe you?â Trisha sneered.
âGo ahead and kill me. See if you can find the Heart of the Sun on me!â Mackenzie seemed resigned. If
she feared death, she wouldnât have jumped in alone.
Both Emmanuel and the Heart of the Sun were crucial to her. She had to ensure the two were safe.
Trisha could tell Mackenzie wasnât lying, so she didnât plan to kill her. Not out of mercy, but Emmanuelâs
swift defeat of the man in red moments ago cast a significant impact on her. She was afraid that if she
killed Mackenzie, Emmanuel would retaliate violently.
