Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 724

Chapter 724

Emmanuel reluctantly accepted the explanation given by the woman in red.

However, Mackenzie remained seated in the car. She feared that stepping

out of the car might lead them straight into an enemy trap.

After all, the woman before her was a sly and unscrupulous female assassin.

“Mackenzie, since we’re here, let’s go in and see for ourselves.”

Emmanuel tried to persuade her and added, “I’m here with you, and I’ll do

whatever it takes to keep you safe!”

Given that the Snake Master was under his charge, Emmanuel’s nature

wouldn’t allow him to idly witness his demise.

Additionally, he had been eager to inquire about the origins of the pattern on

Snake Master’s face. The similarity of this pattern on Richie and Ashton’s

bodies had also piqued his curiosity for a while.

“Alright.”

After hearing Emmanuel’s words, Mackenzie decided to get out of the car.

The woman in red couldn’t help but roll her eyes again. Seriously, I can’t take

any more of this couple’s excessive public affection!

“Hey, what are you doing?”

As the woman in red led Emmanuel and Mackenzie into the inn, the fat

woman at the front desk started to make a fuss and exclaimed, “You only

booked for two people. How can you suddenly have four?”

Emmanuel frowned and retorted, “Why does it matter how many people are

in one room?”

He had never seen business conducted in such a way.

matters! Our rooms are priced per person, so with four people,

“Of course,

you’ll need to-”

The fat woman’s sentence trailed off abruptly as she shut her mouth.

With a frigid gaze, Mackenzie had already placed a pile of banknotes before

her. “Does this cover the cost of booking all your rooms?”

“Hehe, that’s more than enough! Have a blast!” The chubby woman cheerfully

stashed the money away, unconcerned about the number of guests or their

–

identities human or otherwise.

Her earlier words had been calculated as an attempt to secure another

room booking and boost her business.

Emmanuel found himself somewhat taken aback by the chubby woman’s

avid greed.

After the three of them entered the room, the chubby woman muttered

under her breath, “Young people these days are quite open-minded. Are

group activities all the rage?”

As Emmanuel and Mackenzie followed the woman in red into the room, they

were greeted by a powerful stench of blood.

The Snake Master lay on the bed, and nearly half of the bed was drenched in

blood.

“Mr. Lowe, please! Save my brother!” the woman in red pleaded urgently.

Only then did Emmanuel grasp the gravity of Snake Master’s injuries. Not only

had his leg tendons been severed, but his internal organs were also severely

damaged.

Had it not been for his remarkable resilience, he would have met his demise

already.

Mackenzie also found the supposed saintess excessively brutal.

To subject someone to such a merciless beating seemed less humane than

swiftly ending their life with a sword.

She even felt a pang of sympathy for both the Snake Master and his sister.

After all, his current state was a result of his failed attempt to assassinate

her.

“They didn’t plan on sparing your brother, did they?” Emmanuel inquired while

attending to the Snake Master’s urgent medical needs.

“Yes, the situation was beyond dire back then. I threw caution to the wind to

rescue my brother, but I was utterly outmatched. Luckily, my brother

employed a shedding skin technique, and we barely scraped through with

our lives!”

The woman in red’s words dripped with sincerity, her authenticity

accentuated as she gestured to her own feet. “I was so desperate to escape

that I even left my shoes behind!”

Although Emmanuel couldn’t imagine the details of the situation at the time,

the siblings’ present condition offered a glimpse of the danger they had

faced.

After rebandaging the Snake Master’s wounds, Emmanuel instructed the

woman in red, “If you want to save him, we’ll need some medicine and

medical supplies. Head out and get them now.”

However, she immediately looked troubled. “I’m strapped for cash at the

moment. I had to pawn all of my belongings to stay at this inn. That’s

probably why the chubby lady was so rude earlier.”
