Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 725

Chapter 725

Emmanuel still had his doubts.

The woman in red was also a killer from the Redback Assassins. Although her

position might not match up to her brother’s, she surely had substantial

earnings. How did she become so poor?

Mackenzie shared the doubts and confronted the woman in red directly as

she asked, “Given your skills, even if you’re broke, have you not once

considered sneaking into a pharmacy to steal some medical supplies?”

“Hehe, you’re underestimating me!” the woman in red replied with a hint of

pride. “We’re assassins, not thieves. Sneaky things like stealing? That’s not our

style!”

Emmanuel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Oh, really? So, who was sneaking

around and following us today?”

“Uh…

The unexpected sight of the woman in red blushing with embarrassment

caught them off guard.

“Alright, I’ll have someone bring it over.” Mackenzie didn’t want to waste any

more time.

She had a couple of reasons for wanting to save the Snake Master.

Firstly, he served as Emmanuel’s Snake Slave and demonstrated

considerable competence. His recovery would undoubtedly prove valuable.

Secondly, the Snake Master held a prominent position within the Redback

Assassins. If he survived, he could potentially provide them with vital

information.

Notably, Mackenzie was also aware that Emmanuel seemed curiously

interested in the peculiar pattern on the Snake Master’s face.

Emmanuel paid no attention to who Mackenzie might direct to deliver

medical supplies. Instead, he seized the opportunity to study the Snake

Master’s body.

The more he delved into understanding the Snake Master’s physique, the

more astonished he became!

It appeared that modern dark medicine had advanced to a level beyond the

comprehension of ordinary people. The Snake Master’s bodily structure

hardly resembled that of a human anymore.

The scales adorning his physique likely harbored mystical energy. However,

they had now been forcibly stripped away, leaving his form bloody and his

white bones exposed.

“What kind of saintess is she? She’s practically a female demon!”

Emmanuel couldn’t help but grind his teeth in anger, deeply disturbed by the

brutal and inhumane treatment the Shake Master had endured.

Mackenzie’s expression turned chilly as well, with a trace of hidden

resentment. She seemed to be lost in thought but remained silent.

After Emmanuel concluded his thorough examination, Mackenzie suddenly

uttered, “Emmanuel, come with me!”

With that, she walked out of the room directly.

Emmanuel was momentarily stunned, his gaze shifting briefly toward the

woman in red before he decided to follow Mackenzie.

The woman in red pouted her lips, realizing that the couple intended to have

a private discussion. She had no intention of foolishly intruding.

Since Mackenzie had reserved the inn, they had the freedom to move around

as they pleased.

The two entered an empty room and locked the door behind them.

“Mackenzie, what did you want to talk about?” Emmanuel was somewhat

fatigued today. He sat on the bed and stretched his muscles to ease his

exhaustion.

The day had truly been a whirlwind for him. From enduring Rhea’s

unconventional cuisine earlier to expending his energy rescuing people in the

restaurant, and now finding himself here to treat the Snake Master, it felt like

he had gone through a triathlon.

However, Mackenzie found this place dirty and refrained from sitting down.

She stood the whole time and pursed her lips before finally asking, “Do you

harbor suspicions about the woman in red?”

“Yes!” Emmanuel nodded. “I’ve had the feeling that she’s been weaving

half-truths all along.”

“Then, do you really want to save the Snake Master? Aren’t you afraid of

falling into a trap?” she asked with a frown.

“I was worried about that at first, but upon witnessing his condition, I believe

he won’t pose a threat. He wouldn’t have subjected himself to this level of

harm just to collaborate with someone and deceive me.”

Emmanuel’s conviction was palpable.

He knew that if he didn’t intervene and save the Snake Master, there was little

chance that the Snake Master would survive until the next morning.

Mackenzie gazed into his eyes for a lingering moment before releasing a

sigh. “Alright, if you believe in them, I’ll put my trust in you too. I’ll have Lexi

fetch the medical supplies, and then you can proceed with reviving him.”

Emmanuel nodded in agreement.

He was well aware of Mackenzie’s concerns. With Magnus having explicitly

targeted two invaluable assets of the Quillen family and the sudden

emergence of the enigmatic Holy Fire organization in Yeringham, it was

highly likely that the Quillen family was also in their crosshairs.

There could even be potential ties to the Zelinsky family of Zovince.

Given these circumstances, Mackenzie’s cautious approach was entirely

warranted.

“Mackenzie, you seem quite worn out. How about taking a hot bath to unwind

for a while?”
