âMackenzie, whatâs wrong?â Emmanuel noticed she seemed a little moody and quickly asked.
âNothing,â Mackenzie replied with a chilly tone. âSo, what did she say to you?â
Considering that Emmanuel was a gynecologist, treating women wasnât a big deal. Mackenzie didnât
want to get angry about it. Well, she also didnât want to feel jealous.
âShe said Claudette might still be alive. They found torn pieces of her clothes on the mountainside and
hair with her DNA.â
âWhat?!â Mackenzie was naturally surprised by the news.
âYeah, so I plan to check it out tomorrow.â Emmanuel continued.
Mackenzie, who had just decided not to feel jealous, suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He still canât
move on from Claudette, huh?
âCan I, Mackenzie?â Emmanuel asked again. He respected his wife, had no machismo, and wasnât
afraid of being ridiculed.
âOf course!â Mackenzie admitted she was feeling jealous but didnât show it. âShe saved us before. If
sheâs not dead, you must find a way to locate her, even save her!â
âAlright!â Emmanuel smiled knowingly. He knew his wife was magnanimous!
Early the next morning, he called Sage after dropping Mackenzie off at work.
âAlright, Iâll arrange for Ashton to take you to the scene.â
âWhy is it her again?â Emmanuel subconsciously muttered.
He had no idea that Ashton was currently in Sageâs office and could vaguely hear his voice through the
phone. It immediately infuriated her.
Once Sage hung up the phone, she grumbled, âCaptain Payne, I request to withdraw from protecting
this man!â
âWithdraw?â Sage chuckled and said, âAsh, thereâs no one around now, and you used to be my
student, so Iâm not afraid to be blunt with you. Do you know that I assigned you this task out of
selfishness?â
âIâ¦â Ashton naturally couldnât comprehend it and immediately got worked up. âCaptain Payne, the only
thing I can think of is that you deliberately assigned this task to me to temper my temper, to make me
not get angry even with the most annoying man.â
âYou fool!â Sage immediately interrupted in anger. âDonât you know how capable Emmanuel is? I asked
you to protect him because I want you to learn from being around him!â
âOhâ¦â Ashton was suddenly at a loss for words. the most annoying man.â
âYou fool!â Sage immediately interrupted in anger. âDonât you know how capable Emmanuel is? I asked
you to protect him because I want you to learn from being around him!â
âOhâ¦â Ashton was suddenly at a loss for words.
Of course, she knew how capable Emmanuel was; she even knew that he was the Wolf Warrior. But
she really couldnât tolerate that manâs temper. He seemed to be good to every woman, like Mackenzie,
Claudette, and Xylie, just not her. Naturally, she would be infuriated.
Sigh! Sage suddenly sighed. âIâve suffered severe injuries and canât help you break through your
internal strength cultivation. But Emmanuel is different; heâs much more formidable than me!
âHe not only has supreme martial skills but also excels in meridian medical principles. He can heal your
internal injuries and perhaps guide you in advancing your martial cultivation!
âI gave you this task because I have your best interest. You must seize this opportunity!â
âCaptain Payne, I⦠I understand!â Ashton had always admired Sage. But some time ago, that
admiration had lessened. When?
It started when Emmanuel appeared! Yes!
She used to think Sageâs martial skills were unparalleled, but then he claimed someone else was
superior to him. She certainly knew Emmanuelâs skills were unmatched; she had witnessed his precise
marksmanship and the time he dominated the enemies. But for some reason, she couldnât bring herself
to admire him.
D*mn it! Since Captain had said so, I can only stick to him-uh, to provide 24-hour personal protection!
On the other side, Emmanuel couldnât care less about anything else. His only goal was to confirm
Claudetteâs information. If Sage claimed to be too busy, then Ashton it was; he would just endure it.
Soon, he arrived at the police station.
Ashton was about to get into his car, but Emmanuel didnât unlock the door. Instead, he opened the car
window and said, âOfficer Summerton, this car belongs to my wife. She doesnât like other women
getting in, so can you drive yourself?â
âYou-â Ashton was instantly infuriated, her face turning red. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said,
âFine, just you wait!â
