Mackenzie naturally had no intention of letting him succeed, but she hadnât expected Eddie to move so
quickly. She managed to dodge his advances momentarily, but the man anticipated her movements
and, in a swift motion, grabbed her wrist.
His grip was strong, and Mackenzie felt a sharp, piercing pain in her wrist.
Just then, a loud shout came from the back of the crowd. âStop right there!â
In the next instant, a group of blackâclad bodyguards forcefully pushed their way through the crowd,
clearing a path for the elderly man behind them.
The women of the Quillen family breathed a sigh of relief; it was Terence, along with Alfred, who had
arrived!
âI am the chairman of Terence Group. If you have a problem, come to me. Release my granddaughter!â
Terence declared with unwavering authority.
Mackenzie couldnât help but feel a little uneasy. She had always believed she was strong enough to
support Terence Group and shoulder all the responsibilities independently. But now, she realized that
her strength might not be as formidable as she had imagined.
âCome at you, yeah, old man?! Alright, Iâll take care of you first and then capture your granddaughter to
settle the debt!â Eddie, extremely arrogant, pushed Mackenzie aside and threw a punch at Terence.
Since they had received a substantial sum for their mission, they were determined to take on the
Quillen family, regardless of the consequences. They were convinced that the Quillen family would
collapse this very day, so there was no need to play nice.
âMs. Quillen!â
âGrandpa!â
âMackenzie!â
The Quillen women screamed in shock. Never had they thought that someone would dare to openly
attack the two leaders of their family.
Alfred was about to intervene, but at the brink of a crisis, someone had gotten a firm grip on Eddieâs
wrist. Then, his obese body was effortlessly lifted into the air by a single hand.
Oh my! What incredible strength! The onlookers were stunned.
The man who had lifted Eddie with one hand had an angry and fierce expression, resembling a furious
alpha wolf!
âEmmanuel? Beatrix exclaimed in astonishment at Emmanuelâs sudden appearance.
Everett, who had been gloating on the sidelines, turned pale. This man again?! Who the hell is he,
really?!
âHow dare you harm my wife and her family?! Die!â Emmanuel roared and delivered a powerful punch
to Eddieâs body.
Boom! Eddieâs bulky figure was sent flying, and he crashed into his henchmen behind him, knocking
them all to the ground.
The entire scene was in shock. This man is absolutely terrifying!
Even the Quillen women found Emmanuel at this moment a bit unfamiliar. No one had seen him in this
light before!
As they witnessed Emmanuel shrouded in a menacing aura, there was a deathly silence in the venue.
Nobody dared to utter a word. The entire scene had fallen into stillness.
âMackenzie, are you alright?â Emmanuel hurried over to help his wife, his deep eyes showing concern.
Mackenzie didnât respond immediately, and her expression became quite complex, for she was
surprised to find that she was involuntarily reminded of the man who had saved her in Yeternia upon
seeing Emmanuel right then.
Blasphemy! Mackenzie, you mustnât let your thoughts wander like this!
