News that Mackenzie and Ethan had not yet reached Congress quickly reached Emmanuel. Concerned that the Salem forces might regroup and launch another attack, he knew he couldnât abandon his position. What
should he do?
âCommander, let Solana and I check it out!â
At this critical moment, Anna stepped forward and volunteered.
Emmanuel hesitated, then sighed. He had no better choice. âThen, Iâll leave it to you. Please ensure Mackenzie and Mr. Haleâs safety. Inform me immediately if thereâs any news!â
âUnderstood!â
After saluting, Anna and Solana swiftly set off toward Congress.
Meanwhile, an unexpected event unfolded on Mackenzieâs side.
As they neared Congress, two figures suddenly appeared in their path.
One was draped in a redâandâblack cape, while the other wore an exquisitely crafted black cloak embroidered with gold. Their presence alone was enough to unsettle anyone, but it was the man in the black cloak who radiated an overwhelming sense of authority. His stern expression and the three mysterious symbols on his forehead signified that he was no ordinary individual.
For these two to intercept them here, they must have had an extensive intelligence networkâperhaps they were figures of immense power.
âMr. Hale, be careful!â Mackenzie warned, her instincts flaring.
She didnât brake but maintained her speed, knowing these individuals were not here with good intentions. Their attire immediately reminded her of Dark Night Island. But Dark Night Island had already been destroyed, so these men were likely highâranking members of the Holy Trinity.
Especially the middleâaged man in the black cloakâhis aura of dominance was something even Ethan lacked.
âUnderstood!â Ethan tightened his grip on the car handle:
Today marked the final day of the presidential election of Chanaeaâanything could happen!
Mackenzie bit her lip and suddenly floored the accelerator to its maximum! Her car wasnât the most powerful, but it still surged past 140 km/h in an instant. Normally, anyone standing in its path would instinctively dodge, yet the two men ahead remained motionless.
Seeing their unwavering stance, she had no choice but to swerve at the last second, attempting to bypass them.
Unexpectedly, the man in the red cloak reached out and smashed her window, though!

âAh!â Mackenzie gasped in shock.

In that split second, a thought flashed through her mindâthese two wanted to kill Ethan but had no intention of killing her!
Realizing this, she made a quick and wise decisionâshe hit the brakes!
Screech!
As expected, the man in the red cloak instantly tore the car door off with ease. His terrifying martial prowess left Mackenzie in utter shock!
It felt eerily similar to when she was kidnapped and taken to Dark Night Islandâthese people possessed superhuman abilities.
âMr. Hale, be careful!â she shouted.
Ethan quickly ducked his head and tightened his grip.
Bang!
The car crashed into a roadside building.
Pedestrians nearby screamed in terror, instinctively running for cover, fearing an explosion.
Luckily, Mackenzie had braked at the last second, and Ethan had taken all necessary precautions. Though injured, he managed to push the door open and roll onto the sidewalk.
âHelp him! Thatâs Mr. Hale!!â she yelled.
The man in the red cloak reached for her neck, but the man in the black cloak stopped him with a cold command. âSimu, show respect to the Lady Saintess.â
âUnderstood!â Simu immediately released her.
The blackâcloaked man then ordered, âThere are too many people here. Take the Lady Saintess and Ethan away.â
âYes!â
Before the bystanders could react, the two men swiftly took Ethan and disappeared.
Mackenzie struggled, but with a mere flick of the blackâcloaked manâs robe, she found herself completely immobilized! Incredible! Is this magic? Who exactly are these people?
Unable to break free, she was taken to a small hillside.
âMy apologies, Your Holiness! Please forgive us!â
The blackâcloaked man placed one hand over his chest and bowed deeply, displaying extreme reverence.
Meanwhile, Simu casually threw Ethan to the ground.

bowing with one hand over his chest, his narrow eyes gleaming.
Mackenzieâs heart sank. That meant she had already guessed the identity of the blackâcloaked man!

Sure enough, Simu continued with a smirk, âThis is the Great Saint King of the Holy Fire organizationâthe Holy King of hundreds of thousands of followers!â
Mackenzie turned her gaze toward the blackârobed man, her eyes filled with astonishment! It is the Great Saint King himself who has come for me! No wonder his presence is so overwhelming, and he possesses such mystical powers!
As if reading her thoughts, the Great Saint King bowed once more. âI have come to escort Your Holiness back to the Holy Fire organization. It was my failure not to welcome you in person before. Your absence is my fault, for according to our doctrine, this is the duty of the Great Saint King.â
Mackenzie bit her lip and firmly rejected him. âSorry, but I have no interest in returning to the Holy Fire organization. Let us goâwe have urgent matters to attend to!â
The Great Saint King lifted his head, looking at her anxious expression. He replied calmly, âIâm afraid I cannot. It is my duty to bring Your Holiness back.â
âWhat exactly do you want?!â
Mackenzieâs expression turned fierce. She was also cleverâimmediately, she took a commanding stance. âAs the Lady Saintess, I order you to tell me the truth right now! Otherwise, you are defying my authority!â
Simu clenched his jaw and looked at the Great Saint King.
However, the Great Saint King remained composed.
Throughout history, every Lady Saintess had been an extraordinary woman, and Mackenzie was no exceptionâher intelligence was clearly inherited.
Finally, the Great Saint King said, âYour Holiness, our goal has always been clearâit is written in our highest doctrine. And that is to establish a unified world governed by our laws, with Your Holiness as the supreme leader.â
He paused before continuing, âOnly then will true peace come to this world, and our people will never again suffer oppression from outsiders.â
His words painted a grand and noble vision.
For a moment, even Mackenzie almost wavered! However, she quickly snapped back to reality. âThatâs just dictatorship! And how can you guarantee that Iâll be the true leader and not just a puppetâjust a figurehead like a constitutional monarch?â
This system was nothing but a step backward in history!
Mackenzie was wellâeducated-she wouldnât be so easily deceived.
Yet, the Great Saint King remained unfazed, his face filled with sincerity. âAs long as Your Holiness follows me back and swears loyalty to the organization in front of all its followers, I will immediately transfer all power to you. You will not be a puppet.â
