Chapter 1186 Their Savior Has Arrived
“Ryder, Sheldon, you two come with me to climb the stairs!”
As Mackenzie gave her orders, Sheldon, who was protecting her in front, was shocked and thought, Climbing the stairs is just as
dangerous! No, perhaps even more dangerous!
Ryder, on the other hand, didn’t care, nodding immediately. “Okay!”
As long as Mackenzie gave orders, he would go through fire and water.
Mackenzie’s expression was cold and serious as she took the lead in climbing the stairs. She was well aware that while Ivan and
Wally were diverting firepower and attention at the elevator entrance, the defense of the stairs on the other side might become
weak. In military strategy, this was called smoke and mirrors.
Mackenzie, always fearless and unyielding in the business world, was now protecting the Quillen family’s treasure. She had an
obligation to do so!
As she expected, she climbed three floors without encountering any guards. It wasn’t until she reached the third floor that she
finally spotted two armed men at the corner. Their clothes had the same emblem as the one she saw
in Yeternia.
“Members of the Holy Fire organization?” Mackenzie quickly retreated, hiding behind the corner.
Sheldon and Ryder didn’t dare to move, holding their breath. They had never experienced such a situation before.
They thought that working as security at the Terence Group would involve dealing with small-time troublemakers, maybe bullying
some minor delinquents. They never imagined they would ever face armed militants. Now, in this urgent situation of protecting
the CEO, they were both nervous and excited, their bodies in a constant state of
tension.
Mackenzie, not daring to speak, took out her phone and typed, ‘Who is willing to go to the other staircase and
attract their attention?’
Sheldon psyched himself up, remembering when he and Emmanuel went to carry out the mission against Samuel. He thought, If
I have to die, let it be in front of the beautiful CEO!
It was time for a plain soldier like him to protect the CEO at all costs. However, to his surprise, while he was still psyching himself
up, Ryder had already taken off his shoes without hesitation, sneaking over to the other
staircase.
Mackenzie took a deep breath, holding her one-inch heels in her hand, preparing to use it as an improvised
weapon.
Sheldon, nervously swallowing saliva, thought, If only Emmanuel is here. How can the CEO personally enter such a dangerous
battle?!
Simultaneously, at the entrance of the Tech Tower, a man approached, speeding in a motorcycle and skidding to a
stop.
Simultaneously, at the entrance of the Tech Tower, a man approached, speeding in a motorcycle and skidding to a
stop.
“W-Who are you?”
At the entrance, Beatrix and Lexi had already gathered dozens of Terence Group security guards and male employees, standing
their ground.
Seeing the helmeted man, Beatrix trembled and exclaimed. With her sister absent, she had to take the lead in protecting the
Terence Group. However, she was also afraid of these armed thugs.
Other Terence Group employees also looked ready for combat. There was only one person on the opposing side; they weren’t
afraid at all. Some individuals were just involuntarily shifting their legs backward...
“Ms. Beatrix, it’s me!”
Fortunately, in the next moment, the man took off his helmet, revealing a handsome face with a scar. It was the Jade Beast and
the Captain of the Yeringham Police Department, Sage Payne!
“Ah! Captain Payne, you finally came!” Beatrix exclaimed in excitement, rushing toward him. Their savior had finally arrived!
“Is it just you? Where are your subordinates?” Lexi asked, quickly walking up.
Relieved, the two of them sighed, but then they became curious. Beatrix even stretched her neck, looking behind Sage with a
slightly adorable expression.
“Ms. Beatrix, no need to look. The bridge is blown up, and my subordinates are taking a detour. Only I rushed ahead!” Sage said
and jumped off the motorcycle, his movements crisp and decisive, exuding a heroic demeanor.
“Captain Payne, quickly go inside and assist Ms. Quillen. Ensure her safety!” Lexi quickly briefed him on the situation. They had
gathered dozens of people at the entrance, intending to rush in and help, but they hadn’t had the chance yet.
“Okay, don’t act recklessly. The opponents are armed. Stay out of danger and wait here for my reinforcements!”
