Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 725
Emmanuel still had his doubts.
The woman in red was also a killer from the Redback Assassins. Although her
position might not match up to her brother’s, she surely had substantial
earnings. How did she become so poor?
Mackenzie shared the doubts and confronted the woman in red directly as
she asked, “Given your skills, even if you’re broke, have you not once
considered sneaking into a pharmacy to steal some medical supplies?”
“Hehe, you’re underestimating me!” the woman in red replied with a hint of
pride. “We’re assassins, not thieves. Sneaky things like stealing? That’s not our
style!”
Emmanuel couldn’t help but chuckle. “Oh, really? So, who was sneaking
around and following us today?”
“Uh...
The unexpected sight of the woman in red blushing with embarrassment
caught them off guard.
“Alright, I’ll have someone bring it over.” Mackenzie didn’t want to waste any
more time.
She had a couple of reasons for wanting to save the Snake Master.
Firstly, he served as Emmanuel’s Snake Slave and demonstrated

considerable competence. His recovery would undoubtedly prove valuable.
Secondly, the Snake Master held a prominent position within the Redback
Assassins. If he survived, he could potentially provide them with vital
information.
Notably, Mackenzie was also aware that Emmanuel seemed curiously
interested in the peculiar pattern on the Snake Master’s face.
Emmanuel paid no attention to who Mackenzie might direct to deliver
medical supplies. Instead, he seized the opportunity to study the Snake
Master’s body.
The more he delved into understanding the Snake Master’s physique, the
more astonished he became!
It appeared that modern dark medicine had advanced to a level beyond the
comprehension of ordinary people. The Snake Master’s bodily structure
hardly resembled that of a human anymore.
The scales adorning his physique likely harbored mystical energy. However,
they had now been forcibly stripped away, leaving his form bloody and his
white bones exposed.
“What kind of saintess is she? She’s practically a female demon!”
Emmanuel couldn’t help but grind his teeth in anger, deeply disturbed by the
brutal and inhumane treatment the Shake Master had endured.

Mackenzie’s expression turned chilly as well, with a trace of hidden
resentment. She seemed to be lost in thought but remained silent.
After Emmanuel concluded his thorough examination, Mackenzie suddenly
uttered, “Emmanuel, come with me!”
With that, she walked out of the room directly.
Emmanuel was momentarily stunned, his gaze shifting briefly toward the
woman in red before he decided to follow Mackenzie.
The woman in red pouted her lips, realizing that the couple intended to have
a private discussion. She had no intention of foolishly intruding.
Since Mackenzie had reserved the inn, they had the freedom to move around
as they pleased.
The two entered an empty room and locked the door behind them.
“Mackenzie, what did you want to talk about?” Emmanuel was somewhat
fatigued today. He sat on the bed and stretched his muscles to ease his
exhaustion.
The day had truly been a whirlwind for him. From enduring Rhea’s
unconventional cuisine earlier to expending his energy rescuing people in the
restaurant, and now finding himself here to treat the Snake Master, it felt like
he had gone through a triathlon.
However, Mackenzie found this place dirty and refrained from sitting down.

She stood the whole time and pursed her lips before finally asking, “Do you
harbor suspicions about the woman in red?”
“Yes!” Emmanuel nodded. “I’ve had the feeling that she’s been weaving
half-truths all along.”
“Then, do you really want to save the Snake Master? Aren’t you afraid of
falling into a trap?” she asked with a frown.
“I was worried about that at first, but upon witnessing his condition, I believe
he won’t pose a threat. He wouldn’t have subjected himself to this level of
harm just to collaborate with someone and deceive me.”
Emmanuel’s conviction was palpable.
He knew that if he didn’t intervene and save the Snake Master, there was little
chance that the Snake Master would survive until the next morning.
Mackenzie gazed into his eyes for a lingering moment before releasing a
sigh. “Alright, if you believe in them, I’ll put my trust in you too. I’ll have Lexi
fetch the medical supplies, and then you can proceed with reviving him.”
Emmanuel nodded in agreement.
He was well aware of Mackenzie’s concerns. With Magnus having explicitly
targeted two invaluable assets of the Quillen family and the sudden
emergence of the enigmatic Holy Fire organization in Yeringham, it was
highly likely that the Quillen family was also in their crosshairs.

There could even be potential ties to the Zelinsky family of Zovince.
Given these circumstances, Mackenzie’s cautious approach was entirely
warranted.
“Mackenzie, you seem quite worn out. How about taking a hot bath to unwind
for a while?”
