After that, Sage charged into the building like a gust of wind with guns in his hands.
He, too, was anxious.
He actually had a crush on Mackenzie, but because she was Emmanuelâs wife, he had been
suppressing his emotions. No matter what, he had to protect her for Emmanuel.
Meanwhile, a violent explosion echoed from the research laboratory on the fifth floor.
Boom!
Flames soared, and thick smoke billowed out of the doors and windows. The entire building trembled.
âD*mn it!â Mackenzie gasped in shock after steadying herself. They must be trying to blast through the
protective glass and forcibly take the Heart of the Sun. I have to hurry! I have to get there before they
do!
Just then, on the other side of the corridor, there was another commotion, followed by gunfire.
Mackenzie knew that Ryder must have rushed out to divert the attention of the two Holy Fire
organization members.
She quickly ran toward the third-floor corridor, shocked by what she saw. Ryder had been shot in the
arm, blood covering him, and he was in excruciating pain. However, this honest man didnât utter a
sound.
âDie!â
Two Holy Fire thugs raised their guns, intending to give Ryder a quick death. Their eyes were cold,
indifferent to who he was. Their attitude was similar to that of the thugs in Yeternia. Ruthless
murderers.
Swish!
Acting before they could shoot, Mackenzie, who had taken off her shoes, silently approached them
from behind and viciously smashed her heels on the back of their heads.
âAh!â Two simultaneous cries of agony. The heels had embedded into the back of their heads.
Sheldon, who arrived later, was stunned. Like husband, like wife! Emmanuelâs wife is also no ordinary
woman!
âItâs you two who should die!â Taking advantage of the moment the two men turned around, Mackenzie,
skilled in Taekwondo, delivered a powerful kick to their vital points.
The two men collapsed to the ground. However, Mackenzie was not Emmanuel; even with a sneak
attack, she couldnât deliver a lethal blow. One of the men lying on the ground slowly raised his gun,
aiming it at her.
Mackenzieâs eyes widened, realizing the danger.
The next moment, the opponent fired.
Bangl

Bang!
At the same time, a burly figure stood in front of her, and a spray of blood blossomed like flowers in
front of her.
âRyder!â Mackenzieâs heart raced.
Fortunately, she wasnât a woman who went blank in times of trouble. It was now or never. Seizing the
opportunity, she kicked the gun out of the manâs hand.
âThis⦠This!â Sheldon, seeing the gun drop in front of him and another man making a move, acted
without thinking. He quickly picked up the fallen gun and rushed forward, firing several shots at the two
men on the ground.
âAh! Ah!â He descended into madness, shooting and screaming simultaneously, his mind going blank.
He had never killed anyone, even if the person in front of him was a ruthless thug.
âEnough, calm down!â Mackenzieâs command came through, and Sheldon finally stopped. Turning
around, he realized that Ryder was lying in a pool of blood.
Mackenzie crouched before him, nervously calling out, âRyder, pull yourself together! How are you?â
Ryder struggled to breathe. Due to the pain, large beads of sweat formed on his forehead. However,
this honest man didnât utter a sound, afraid that he would attract enemies and trouble for Mackenzie.
Now, hearing Mackenzie ask him, he forced a grin and said, âI⦠Iâm fine, Ms. Quillen. You⦠No need
to worry about me!â
He knew Mackenzie had important things to do, and he didnât want to waste her time on a small fry like
him.
âHow can you be such an idiot?! It was so dangerous just now. Why would you do that?â Mackenzie
sighed and pressed on his wound, trying to stop the bleeding.
âHehe⦠The Lowe family⦠has a family motto: âThe smallest⦠act of kindness is worth more than the
grandest intention.â Ms. Quillen, Tommy and !⦠are in debt to you forever⦠I would give my life for
youâ¦â
âEnough, donât say anything. Conserve your strength!â Mackenzie was deeply moved, her eyes
becoming watery. She had always thought Ryder had no merits besides being honest. He was ugly,
clumsy, and even clueless about choosing a wife.
