“Rhett! Go, now!”
Mackenzie urgently called out.
She knew Rhett had been poisoned, but he should still be able to dodge
Envoy Amethyst’s blade. He did not need to block it for her.
Lexi instinctively closed her eyes, too afraid to watch what was about to
happen.
Yet, Rhett remained calm, not blinking once.
It was his duty as the Holy Guardian to protect the Saintess. Even if it cost him
his life, he would not hesitate.
Roar!
At the critical moment, a chilling dragon–like roar echoed through the air.

Envoy Amethyst felt her hand pulled by an invisible force. Her blade suddenly
veered off course, missing Rhett by inches.
What just happened?
Envoy Amethyst could not believe her eyes. Startled, she looked toward the
source of the strange force.
“Emmanuel!!”
Lexi’s voice broke the silence, her surprise evident.
Mackenzie’s eyes reddened with emotion.
What an unexpected and wonderful surprise!
“Haha, you came to steal my spotlight again! However, this time, I’ll let it
slide!”
Quintus let out a hearty laugh, launching a punch toward Envoy Amethyst.

Envoy Amethyst, now rattled, tried to defend herself in a panic.

However, she was no match for Quintus in strength. Her blade bent under the
impact, and she was thrown backward before she crashed into a tree.
*Retreat!”
At that moment, Envoy Aora appeared behind her, grabbing her and fleeing
at once.
Both Emmanuel and Quintus were caught off guard. Like Emmanuel, Envoy
Aora had arrived at Willy Residence out of nowhere.
Emmanuel could not chase after them. There were still many bandits and
followers of the Five Poison Sect to deal with.
Without any skilled fighters to back them up, these mountain bandits and
cultists were no challenge. Soon, many were either dead or wounded, while
the rest fled in terror.
“Mackenzie, are you alright?”

Emmanuel hurried over to Mackenzie, helping her up and checking her
condition.

Fortunately, though the poison was strong, Mackenzie had only been
exposed to a small amount. She was weak, but her life was not in immediate
danger.
“I am fine. Go check on Rhett. His injuries are worse!”
Mackenzie quickly urged.
Emmanuel nodded, gently setting her down on a chair before hurrying to
check Rhett’s injuries.
Though the wounds were gruesome and there had been a lot of blood lost,
they were only flesh wounds for someone of Rhett’s strength. They were not
fatal.
“Rhett, I truly owe you my thanks this time!”
As Emmanuel treated Rhett’s wounds, he expressed his gratitude.

“Thank me? This is my duty. However, what about you? Were you not
supposed to protect Mr. Hale? What made you come here?”
Rhett asked calmly.
“I was worried. You are all great at combat, but going up against the Five
Poison Sect would put you at a disadvantage. I am glad I made it in time!”
As Emmanuel spoke, he took out silver needles to help Rhett counteract the
poison.
He was still worried that the Five Poison Sect might launch a larger attack,
and he and Quintus would not be able to fend them off alone.
Luckily, as Emmanuel worked to cure everyone, the enemy forces fell quiet. It
seemed Envoy Amethyst had been the leader of this operation.
“Emmanuel, make sure you cure Mr. Willy as well.”
Once Mackenzie had been treated, she spoke up, saying, “He may not be
involved in this incident.”

Emmanuel nodded. Whether Kon had a part in the poisoning or not, neither
he nor Mackenzie could let him die,
“Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Lowe! You are just as they say, a god among
men!”
Ken was overjoyed to have survived, profusely thanking Emmanuel.
“Do not thank me just yet.”
Emmanuel’s expression darkened. His voice was cold as he continued, “I
saved you, but I can just as easily kill you!”
“What? I…”
Ken was shocked. He panicked and stammered, “Mr. Lowe, there is no grudge
between us. Why would you want to kill me?”
“What do you think?”
Although Mackenzie had just said Ken might not be involved, she now joined
Chapter 2021 Emmanuel to the Rescue
Emmanuel in questioning him. “This happened at your home, and someone
poisoned your wine. Do not tell me you had no idea!”
“I… I…”
Ken was visibly flustered, stammering like someone who had lost their
advantage. “Ms: Quillen, I swear I had no idea! The servants arranged the
banquet. I will thoroughly investigate this and give you a full explanation!”
Mackenzie studied his expression as she continued to press him. “You really
had no knowledge of this?”
“Of course not!”
Ken insistently said, “If I had known the wine was poisoned, would I have
drunk it myself? I have no grudge against you, Ms. Quillen. Why would I risk
my life to harm you?”
Mackenzie looked to Emmanuel for confirmation.
Emmanuel nodded. It was clear that Ken had been poisoned just like them,

and his condition was even more severe.
If Emmanuel had not cured him in time, Ken would have died from the
poison.
“Then I was mistaken, Mr. Willy.”
Mackenzie’s tone shifted back to politeness. “Given what happened today, we
will not impose on you any longer. We will take our leave.”
“O–Of course! This was my mistake. Please, Ms. Quillen, accept my apologies.
Once I uncover the truth, I will make sure to give you a proper explanation!”
Ken promised, sounding very sincere.
Mackenzie gave a slight nod, then turned to leave Willy Residence with
Emmanuel and the others.
“Mackenzie, do you really believe Ken?”
On the way to the hotel in the city, Emmanuel spoke up. “I do not think he can

be trusted. His words and expressions seemed insincere. He was faking it!”

Mackenzie nodded and sighed. “I know. However, he is the chairman of the
West End Chamber of Commerce. I need to keep him close and use him to
connect with other West End representatives. Even if I want to deal with him, I
will wait until I am the chairman of Chanaea’s Chamber of Commerce.”
Emmanuel agreed with Mackenzie’s reasoning. The two of them continued discussing matters until they arrived at the hotel in the early hours of the
morning.
After stepping out of the car, Mackenzie adjusted Emmanuel’s collar and
reminded him again, saying, “Do not worry about me too much. This time, I
was careless. However, I have learned my lesson. Next time, I will not fall so
easily for a trap. Trust me!”
“I do trust you, but I care about you too much. It is impossible for me not to
worry about your safety.”
Emmanuel squeezed Mackenzie’s hand, sighing: “Remember, if there is any

danger, contact me right away. No matter where or when, I will find a way to
help you.”
“Alright!”
Mackenzie playfully rolled her eyes at him. “I will not make another mistake
and have you look down on me.”
“I never would!”
Emmanuel wryly smiled.
“Oh, come on, Emmanuel! If you are going, then go already!”
Quintus, standing nearby, could not stand watching the couple’s long goodbye and finally interrupted them. “Romance will only slow your sword.
Mackenzie is under my protection, so you can rest easy! To be honest, even if
you had not shown up today, I could have protected her just fine. You just stole my thunder… Now, go, go, go!”

With that, he pushed Emmanuel toward the exit.
Mackenzie did not stop Emmanuel from leaving, knowing he had more
important matters to attend to. He could not always be by her side, and she
did not want to appear weak.
Emmanuel reluctantly left, worried about her safety as he made his way bod
to Zovince overnight.
Ethan was scheduled to give an important speech in Zovince the next day,
and Emmanuel needed to ensure his safety.
