Chapter 309
With no sustainable arguments to stop Emmanuel, Claudette turned around,
not wanting to watch the couple kiss...
Suddenly, Emmanuel frowned and stood up nervously.
“What is it? Has Ms. Quillen awoken?” Claudette assumed Emmanuel jumped
up with joy because Mackenzie had come around, but when she saw how
serious the man looked, she knew it wasn’t the case.
Mackenzie’s not going to die, is she?! Claudette was instantly overwhelmed
with mixed emotions.
“Another group of assassins has come for us, Ms. Lenoir. Come with me
quickly!” Emmanuel had no time to explain. He quickly picked Mackenzie up
and freed up one hand to hold Claudette’s as they fled with all their might.
Claudette’s heart suddenly raced.
She never feared when running away with Emmanuel. Instead, she found it
exhilarating.
No game could compare to this thrill!
Is Emmanuel a superhero? How can he be so strong? And his stamina is so
good too!
Claudette even smiled and closed her eyes, allowing Emmanuel to lead her.
The night wind blew against her cheeks as if someone was caressing her
face.
She enjoyed the sensation running away brought, but unfortunately, the run
came to a stop quickly.
Emmanuel had wanted to hide in a dark area, but a beam of light had
already illuminated the surroundings.
This time, two assassins, a man and a woman, appeared before Emmanuel.
They weren’t afraid that Emmanuel would run away either, for they knew he
wouldn’t leave the two women behind even when it meant that he could get
away easily if he did so.
That said, their primary target wasn’t Emmanuel.
“Huh, no wonder they offered Redback Assassins a high price. To think
Yeringham has a master fighter.”
The woman in red approached Emmanuel seductively.
Despite hiding her face behind a red mask, her eyes were soul–stirring, and
she even had a sexy mole on one corner of her eye.
Emmanuel, however, didn’t find her sexy or alluring. Instead, he sensed
immense danger from her.
“Who sent you?” Emmanuel asked while shielding Mackenzie and Claudette
as they stepped back.
However, he stopped quickly as the man behind them had already drawn a
dagger!
This was an organization of cold weapon assassins!
”
Having spent many years in the Northern Region, Emmanuel had some
knowledge about globally renowned assassin organizations. In this age, only
a few organizations still used cold weapons, and most of them were
concentrated in Chanaea.
If his guess was right, then the assassins before him belonged to an
organization named Redback Assassins, which was also dubbed ‘the rich’s
nightmare‘.
Only a Yeringham tycoon could have hired elite assassins like them. Ordinary
folks would never have the money to afford it.
The woman in red didn’t reply to Emmanuel. Instead, she stared intently at his
face.
Being an insensitive guy, Emmanuel naturally didn’t pick it up, but Claudette’s
jealousy surged when she noticed the woman’s gaze.
Is it me, or does this woman also like Emmanuel?
“Huh, do you not remember me, handsome?” The woman in red suddenly
covered her lips and giggled.
Her bootylicious figure would have captivated any man. However, Emmanuel
was far from interested. His brows were furrowed. It looked like he was
digging deep into his memory archive for the female assassin before him.
Alas, Emmanuel shook his head a while later. “I don’t know you! If it’s money
you want, I can give you what you’ve been offered if you give up the mission.
How about that?”
Emmanuel was never the type to show off or act tough.
If he were alone, he certainly wouldn’t yield. However, he had to protect
Mackenzie and Claudette while suffering from injuries. He was afraid of any
missteps.
