However, this man had a heart of gold. It was easy to talk about repaying kindness, but in reality, how many people could
actually do it? In today’s society, many people became ungrateful, and some even repaid kindness with malice. Remembering
someone’s kindness was already difficult, let alone repaying it with one’s life!
The next moment, another commotion came from upstairs. Mackenzie ordered, “Sheldon, find a way to stop his bleeding, and
then call for help. I’ll go up alone!”
“What?!” Sheldon’s mind was still a bit blank, unsure of what to say. Mackenzie going up alone was extremely dangerous.
But Mackenzie had already picked up a gun from the ground. Barefoot, she headed up the stairs. Since her grandfather had
entrusted the Heart of the Sun to her, she couldn’t allow anyone to take it away.
Mackenzie cautiously ascended to the fifth floor, and there were no other thugs along the way. However, at the entrance to the
fifth-floor laboratory, two guards were still on duty. As for the situation inside, that remained unknown.
Hailing from a prestigious family in Yeringham, Mackenzie had some training in marksmanship, although this was her first real
combat experience. Fortunately, she was alert, and with a surprise attack, after two shots, she surprisingly managed to take
down the two thugs smoothly.
However, she couldn’t believe how smoothly things were going. It was way too easy. That said, it wasn’t the time for her to
speculate. She quickly and cautiously approached the laboratory entrance, fearing that someone might suddenly rush out from
inside. To her surprise, there was nothing.
She poked her head in and found that it really was empty.
The thick smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated.
The Heart of the Sun’s defense system was quite reliable, as the intense explosion hadn’t shattered the outer protective glass.
Mackenzie observed that the Heart of the Sun remained in its original place.
Being a smart and meticulous person, Mackenzie immediately sensed that something was amiss. Could it be that the individuals
she just eliminated were the ones responsible for the lab explosion?

Although it was her first encounter with the Holy Fire organization, she had heard about this international group. She couldn’t
believe that such a prominent organization would send individuals of this caliber to steal from the Quillen family.
Who are they underestimating? There has to be something wrong!
In the next moment, she figured it out. These people probably couldn’t overcome the defense system, intentionally luring her to
open it and then seizing the opportunity to take away the Heart of the Sun.
After figuring that out, Mackenzie decided to stay put. The lab was empty now anyway. She just needed to wait for

After figuring that out, Mackenzie decided to stay put. The lab was empty now anyway. She just needed to wait for the police
reinforcements to arrive. However, as she turned around, she noticed a woman in blue standing behind her.
Mackenzie was startled and quickly took a half-step back, coldly staring at the woman. She raised the gun in her hand and
asked, “Who are you?”
Someone who could silently appear behind her was certainly not an ordinary person.
The woman in blue sneered, “No harm in telling you. I’m Trisha Cerulean from the Inferno Hall of the Holy Fire organization. Ms.
Quillen, you’re truly clever. Have you already figured out our intentions?”
Seeing the calm demeanor of the woman, Mackenzie became even more nervous. It seemed that the woman was confident she
could subdue her. Nevertheless, Mackenzie remained composed and continued to inquire, “What do you have your eyes on?”
“Haha...” Trisha wore a contemptuous expression. “I just praised you for being clever, and I heard you’re the Athena of
Yeringham, yet you’re asking such idiotic questions. Besides the Heart of the Sun, what else would you have that we would
want?”
“You’ve been eyeing the Heart of the Sun for quite some time, haven’t you?” Mackenzie ignored the provocations and continued
to gather information. At the same time, she was buying time. She was waiting for the police to
arrive.

Trisha wasn’t foolish either; she quickly discerned Mackenzie’s intentions and suddenly took a step forward, appearing right in
front of Mackenzie.
So fast!
Mackenzie’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly. When she tried to shoot, she realized her wrist was already gripped.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, but it undoubtedly missed its mark.
With a forceful move, Trisha made Mackenzie wince in pain, and the gun in her hand fell to the ground.
Trisha took the gun, pointed it at Mackenzie’s face, and smirked. “Now, please go inside and help open the defense
system?”
Mackenzie bit her lower lip lightly, being gradually forced into the laboratory by Trisha with the gun.
