Yes Your Holiness!â
Rhett didnât hesitate. He wasnât the type to let emotions cloud his judgment. Libby had volunteered for the sake of victory. If she ended up dying, it would be a sacrifice for the greater good.
If they rushed out now to save her, it would undo all their efforts. Worse, it would alert the Five Poison Sect that their tactics had been detected, robbing them of the chance to draw the enemy out and deliver a surprise attack.
Without hesitation, Rhett and the others stepped out of the tent.
But as they moved to rescue the patrol, one by one, they collapsed onto the snowâcovered ground.
When the area seemed completely still, four figures emerged from the heights and strode confidently toward the fallen group.
âHeh, Aora, these Crimson Blood Toads sure pack a punch!â Envoy Amethyst remarked smugly.

âKeep your mouth shut! If we inhale too much of the toxic mist, even the antidote wonât save us,â Envoy Aora warned sharply.
âGot it!â Envoy Amethyst huffed but then sneered coldly. âIâll head straight in and kill Mackenzie myself!â
Without waiting for a response, she charged toward the central tent.
But as she burst inside, the fallen Wolf Warrior soldiers suddenly sprang to their feet.
Envoy Azure was stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Envoy Ash stared in disbelief, his mind struggling to comprehend the impossible sight.
Inside the central tent, Envoy Amethyst froze, her wide eyes filled with shock. What on earth is happening?
Rhett and Anna were already standing, looking unscathed. And there was Mackenzie, sitting calmly in the tent, her striking eyes gleaming with sharp clarity. She didnât look poisoned in the slightest!
âD*mn it! Weâve been tricked!â Envoy Aora exclaimed, abandoning his earlier warnings. âAmethyst, retreat!â
But it was too late.
The Wolf Warrior Unit opened fire, bullets tearing through the air toward the intruders. Panic surged through the three of them, their backs drenched in cold sweat.
Envoy Aora reacted swiftly, his agility allowing him to dive behind a boulder at the base of the hill.
Envoy Azure, who had been positioned farthest back, managed to escape unscathed, though he was left visibly shaken.
Envoy Ash wasnât as fortunate. A bullet struck his thigh.
And within moments, a hail of gunfire turned him into a lifeless heap.

Asht Ashl Envoy Aura screamed, his eyes blazing with fury. Seeing his comrade slain on the spot ignited fire of rage in his heart. âDâmn it! These people fight without honor! I wonât forgive them!â
âAuralâ laivoy Azure quickly grabbed his arm in desperation. âWhat are you planning to do?â
Tim going to fight them to the death and save Amethy Envoy Aoraâs voice cracked as he teetered on the edge of losing control.
Envoy Azure urgently tried to reason with him. âAora, respect your loyalty, but canât you see? Theyâve turned our plan against us! Charging out now is suicide. Even the greatest martial arts canât withstand machine guns, let alone these highâpowered ones!â
âD*mn it! D*mn it all!â Envoy Aora ground his teeth so hard it felt like they might shatter.
âWe need to retreat now! If we stay, weâll be surroundedâ
Maintaining his calm, Envoy Azure forcibly dragged Envoy Aora away from the battlefield.
As the Wolf Warrior Unit surged forward, the two kicked up snow as a diversion and leaped up the mountain to make their escape.
This left Envoy Amethyst behind in the central tent, abandoned without mercy.
As she contemplated making a break for it, Rhettâs crimson cloak suddenly swept past her like a streak of fire, cutting off her escape route with staggering speed.
From within the tent, Mackenzieâs cold voice echoed, âCapture her alive if possible. If not, dead will suffice.â
âYou got it!â
Anna was brimming with fighting spirit. Her last match with Envoy Amethyst had been left undecided, and now was the perfect chance to settle the score and showcase the strength of the Wolf Warrior women.
Though Envoy Amethyst was slightly stronger than Anna, her focus wasnât on fighting. She was consumed by thoughts of escaping or finding a chance to take Mackenzie hostageâor better yet, kill her outright. Her scattered focus left her vulnerable, and she quickly found herself at a disadvantage.
When Anna launched a deadly strike at her vital points, she shocked everyone by neither dodging nor parrying. Instead, she screamed at the top of her lungs, For Mr. Tannerâs mission!â
At the same time, she hurled a concealed weaponâa violet feather dartâdirectly at Mackenzieâs forehead.
âMs. Quillen! Watch out!â
Lexi, standing nearby, screamed in terror. But as an ordinary person, she lacked the speed or skill to shield Mackenzie from the deadly attack.
A sinister smile of satisfaction curved across Envoy Amethystâs lips as she watched the dart streak toward its target.
But just as the dart was about to pierce Mackenzieâs brow, Rhett moved like a phantom. With an eerie swiftness, he caught the dart midâair between his fingers.
He channeled his internal energy into the dart, igniting it in an instant before tossing the smoldering

remains to the ground without a trace of mercy.
Envoy Amethystâs face twisted in despair as her last hope crumbled.

Before she could recover, Anna delivered a brutal strike to her chest, tearing through fabric and flesh. Blood splattered the snowy ground.
One strike wasnât enough. Anna followed through with series of vicious attacks, ripping her opponentâs torso into a bloody mess.
âKeep her alive!â
Mackenzieâs voice rang out just in time to halt Annaâs rampage.
As Mackenzie stepped forward, her calm and commanding presence sent shivers through the defeated Envoy Amethyst. Despite her condition, Envoy Amethyst clenched her jaw, her gaze still filled with defiance. With every ounce of strength left, she tried to lunge at Mackenzie, aiming for a final act of defiance.

But before she could act, Annaâs boot slammed down on her face. The force shattered her carefully applied makeup, leaving her battered and humiliated. âDonât even think about it,â Anna growled, pressing down harder. âIf you move again, Iâll crush your skull right here!â
Immobilized but undeterred, Envoy Amethyst turned her head, her eyes blazing with hatred. She glared at Mackenzie with such intensity it was as if she believed she could kill her with just a look.
It was a look that both Mackenzie and Rhett understood immediatelyâthis was a woman who feared nothing, not even death. Her loyalty to Teddy Tanner was absolute.
âWhy do you want me dead so badly?â Mackenzie asked her tone steady.
âBecause⦠you⦠are Mr. Tannerâs enemy,â Envoy Amethyst hissed through gritted teeth. âYour very existence threatens his power and position!â
Mackenzieâs eyes narrowed. âAnd youâre willing to die for him? For a man whoâs nothing more than a traitor to his nation? Do you even know the atrocities heâs committed? Heâs waged secret wars, slaughtering thousands of soldiers from the Northern Region. Heâs silenced dissenters and murdered countless innocents. Are you truly blind to all of that?â
Envoy Amethyst let out a bitter scoff. âThose people deserved to die⦠and so do you!â.
Anna, unable to hold back her anger, snapped, âHow can someone as brainwashed as you even exist? Your Holiness, stop wasting your breath on her. Letâs just kill her. Keeping someone like her alive is pointless!â
âDo whatever you want!â Envoy Amethyst retorted, her voice filled with defiance. âIâm just curious⦠âHow did you know weâd attack?â
âThatâs easy!â Anna sneered. âSuch an obvious trap, and youâre just now realizing it? You underestimated Her Holinessâ brilliance. Your little schemes were doomed from the start!â
âIt was Magnus who warned me.â
Mackenzie, however, didnât bask in the victory. Instead, she answered honestly. âHe taught me that

understanding human nature allows you to predict befavior. While Iâm far from mastering that, I knew you wanted me dead and that this was your best opportunity. It was only a matter of time before you struck.
Envoy Amethystâs face twisted in realization. âSo, it was Magnus who helped you. No wonderâ¦â
It was clear now why their plan had failed so spectacularly, Hidden away in the Toad Kingâs territory, they hadnât kept up with Magnusâ allegiance shift.
Just then, a Wolf Warrior soldier entered the tent and luted. âYour Holiness, weâve neutralized the one in yellow, but the ones in red and green escaped. How should we handle the body?â
âBury the dead one. As for this oneâ¦â Mackenzieâs gaze shifted to Envoy Amethyst. âBind her tightly.â
She turned to the soldier, her voice calm but commanding. âPrepare for her comrades to come back for her. When they do, weâll take them all down in one sweep.â
