What to do?
Mackenzie knew Trishaâs martial arts skills were way above her league, and now, without a gun, there
was no room for resistance.
âPlease! Ms. Quillen!â Trisha spoke and pushed Mackenzie in front of the glass shield, threatening,
âDonât force me to leave a few bullet holes in you! It would be a pity even for me to ruin a beauty like
you!â
Mackenzie could sense that Trisha was a heartless killing machine, fully capable of following through
on her threats.
Women were suckers for beauty, and Mackenzie was no exception. Showing defiance against such a
woman would undoubtedly bring trouble. However, if she opened the defense system, the Heart of the
Sun would be in jeopardy.
What to do? What to do?
âAll right, since you refuse to play nicely, Iâll just have to do it the hard way!â Trishaâs eyes turned cold
as she prepared to shoot at Mackenzieâs lower leg. The Saintess only ordered her not to kill
Mackenzie, but there was no prohibition against injuring her.
In a critical moment, a dark silhouette rushed in like a gust of wind.
Bang!
Trishaâs wrist received a strong impact, causing the gun in her hand to veer off and hit the ground near
Mackenzieâs feet. Despite this, Mackenzie broke into a cold sweat.
Has Emmanuel, that idiot, arrived?
But the next moment, she realized that it wasnât Emmanuel but Sage who had come to her rescue.
Trisha felt a tingling sensation in her wrist and began to harbor some apprehension toward the
newcomer. To think thereâs actually someone formidable in Yeringham!
She launched an attack preemptively, knowing that if Sage gained the upper hand, this would be her
end. Unfortunately, Sage skillfully countered her three fierce moves.
Whoosh!
As Trishaâs momentum waned, Sage unleashed a powerful punch.
Trishaâs pupils dilated in shock, and she quickly crossed her hands in front of her chest. However, she
was still sent flying by the punch.
Clang!
Clang!
Trisha spat blood and flew out through the glass window.
Sage couldnât care less about her fate. He quickly walked up to Mackenzie and expressed concern,
âMs. Quillen, are you okay?â
âIâm fine, thank you.â Mackenzieâs politeness carried an icy demeanor that discouraged people from
approaching easily.
âThatâs good.â Sage sighed in relief. âMs. Mackenzie, youâre being foolishly risky. How could you face
the thugs alone? If something happened to you, your husband would be heartbroken!â
Actually, he would be even more heartbroken. Unfortunately, he didnât have the standing to say such
things. After all, she was Emmanuelâs wife, his brother-in-armsâ wife.
Hearing him mention Emmanuel, Mackenzie couldnât help clenching her fist lightly and snorting. âWho
knows where your subordinate took that man?â
âWellâ¦â Sage hesitated, not expecting this side of the goddess. Sheâs jealous!
âIâm sorry. Itâs because the Holy Fire organization mentioned wanting to kill Emmanuel, so I sent Ashton
to protect him.â
âWould he even need her protection?! Captain Payne, isnât your decision a bit foolish?â Although
Mackenzie appreciated Sageâs commitment, she couldnât compliment his decision-making.
Sage, too, knew his decision would be seen by Mackenzie as sending kindergarten students to protect
a boxing champion, but he had his reasons.
âAll right, Ms. Quillen, the thugs have been driven away. You can leave now!â Sage quickly got back to
business.
After some thought, Mackenzie opened the defense system and took out the Heart of the Sun, carrying
it with her. Keeping it openly in the lab made her feel unsafe.
Sage was about to escort Mackenzie out when, just as they stepped out of the laboratory, they heard a
distinctive melody.
Strings?
The melody, as if alive, invaded their bodies.
âMs. Quillen, be careful!â Sage knew that someone capable of playing such a melody was definitely
formidable. Even he felt a significant sense of oppression.
âCan you return the Heart of the Sun to me now?â
The next moment, a woman in flowing white descended as if from the heavens, landing soundlessly in
front of are fieart of the sun to me now?â
The next moment, a woman in flowing white descended as if from the heavens, landing soundlessly in
front of them.
Man, what incredible lightness!
Sage instantly felt immense pressure. He had faced numerous formidable opponents in his life, but
none had achieved the ethereal skill demonstrated by her.
