However, Mackenzie was in a terrible mood, and she couldn’t tolerate Nathan’s insistence on referring to her as her master’s wife.

After taking a deep breath, Mackenzie asked again, “Mr. Nathan, what do you want from me exactly?”

“Here’s the thing,” Nathan got straight to the point. “Are you aware of the upcoming Nuthana Grand Martial Showdown?”

Although Mackenzie wasn’t particularly interested in these martial arts competitions, she still nodded.

These non-commercial martial arts competitions held much more significance than televised ones, as they were hosted by the top-tier families and forces in Chanaea, making them inaccessible to ordinary people.

In the past, Terence had represented the Quillen family in the competition, and with Alfred’s prowess, they gained fame by dominating the arena. Alfred’s presence ensured that no one dared to challenge the Quillen family, allowing them to develop securely in the business world for three decades.

On the other hand, some business families in Yeringham suffered various incidents of kidnapping and assassination due to the lack of skilled protection. Eventually, they either met an untimely demise or inexplicably went bankrupt after a brief period of success.

Terence had once told Mackenzie that while business operations were essential in maintaining the Quillen family’s leading position in Yeringham, skilled fighters were the foundation of their security. So, when Emmanuel defeated an assassin for the first time, safeguarding her and Beatrix’s safety, she finally realized why her grandfather had chosen him to be her husband.

“That’s good. I’m here on behalf of the Chapman family to invite the Quillen family to form an alliance,” Nathan stated the purpose of his visit.

“An alliance?” Mackenzie looked slightly surprised.

She would undoubtedly welcome an alliance with the Chapman family if it was a business trade, considering their status as one of the top financial conglomerates in Chanaea. However, she had never been involved in such martial arts competitions and had not truly experienced their significance and charm, so she wasn’t particularly interested.

“That’s right. As long as the Quillen family can get Alfred and Emmanuel to join the Chapman family and help us win the title of the Supreme Warrior Clan, then the Quillen family will be protected by the Chapman family. No one in Nuthana will dare to make a move against the Quillen family!” Nathan spread his hands, showing excitement and fervor.

When the Quillen family agreed to form an alliance with the Chapman family, it would be much easier for his master to participate. With Alfred and Emmanuel on their side, the Chapman family would be greatly strengthened, making it a breeze to dominate the competition.

However…

“Sorry, I’m not interested,” Mackenzie outright rejected.

Firstly, she truly didn’t want to participate in this kind of competition. Secondly, no matter how Nathan’s words were put, it sounded like the Quillen family would become the Chapman family’s subordinate family! The Quillen family, the leading family in Yeringham, might not be comparable to the Four Great Aristocratic Families of Zovince, but it certainly wouldn’t become a subordinate of another family.

“Why?” Nathan didn’t expect Mackenzie to refuse so decisively and exclaimed, “Considering my master and I helped you before, you should at least repay that much, right?”

The more he said, the more resistant Mackenzie became. She coldly said, “Excuse me,” and left in haste.

She had gradually forgotten about what happened in Yeternia. Why did Nathan have to show up in Yeringham at this time?

When he mentioned his master, the underwater scene with the man holding her tightly and kissing her relentlessly replayed in her mind.

While she didn’t know if Emmanuel had kissed other women, she had certainly been kissed by other men. The thought left an unpleasant taste in her mouth.

Nathan’s words had further unsettled her mind.

Until now, she hadn’t figured out who the mysterious shareholder was that helped her and the Quillen family during the acquisition of Terence Group’s shares.

Was it Nathan or his master? Why did they help her and her family? Did Nathan’s master really like her?

“Ms. Quillen!” the receptionist called out to Mackenzie as she briskly walked toward the exit after arriving at the lobby, for some of her items had fallen from her bag due to her hurried pace.
