Chapter 724
Emmanuel reluctantly accepted the explanation given by the woman in red.
However, Mackenzie remained seated in the car. She feared that stepping
out of the car might lead them straight into an enemy trap.
After all, the woman before her was a sly and unscrupulous female assassin.
“Mackenzie, since we’re here, let’s go in and see for ourselves.”
Emmanuel tried to persuade her and added, “I’m here with you, and I’ll do
whatever it takes to keep you safe!”
Given that the Snake Master was under his charge, Emmanuel’s nature
wouldn’t allow him to idly witness his demise.
Additionally, he had been eager to inquire about the origins of the pattern on
Snake Master’s face. The similarity of this pattern on Richie and Ashton’s
bodies had also piqued his curiosity for a while.
“Alright.”
After hearing Emmanuel’s words, Mackenzie decided to get out of the car.
The woman in red couldn’t help but roll her eyes again. Seriously, I can’t take
any more of this couple’s excessive public affection!
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the woman in red led Emmanuel and Mackenzie into the inn, the fat
woman at the front desk started to make a fuss and exclaimed, “You only
booked for two people. How can you suddenly have four?”
Emmanuel frowned and retorted, “Why does it matter how many people are
in one room?”
He had never seen business conducted in such a way.
matters! Our rooms are priced per person, so with four people,
“Of course,
you’ll need to-”
The fat woman’s sentence trailed off abruptly as she shut her mouth.
With a frigid gaze, Mackenzie had already placed a pile of banknotes before
her. “Does this cover the cost of booking all your rooms?”
“Hehe, that’s more than enough! Have a blast!” The chubby woman cheerfully
stashed the money away, unconcerned about the number of guests or their
–
identities human or otherwise.
Her earlier words had been calculated as an attempt to secure another
room booking and boost her business.
Emmanuel found himself somewhat taken aback by the chubby woman’s
avid greed.
After the three of them entered the room, the chubby woman muttered
under her breath, “Young people these days are quite open-minded. Are
group activities all the rage?”
As Emmanuel and Mackenzie followed the woman in red into the room, they
were greeted by a powerful stench of blood.
The Snake Master lay on the bed, and nearly half of the bed was drenched in
blood.
“Mr. Lowe, please! Save my brother!” the woman in red pleaded urgently.
Only then did Emmanuel grasp the gravity of Snake Master’s injuries. Not only
had his leg tendons been severed, but his internal organs were also severely
damaged.
Had it not been for his remarkable resilience, he would have met his demise
already.
Mackenzie also found the supposed saintess excessively brutal.
To subject someone to such a merciless beating seemed less humane than
swiftly ending their life with a sword.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe even felt a pang of sympathy for both the Snake Master and his sister.
After all, his current state was a result of his failed attempt to assassinate
her.
“They didn’t plan on sparing your brother, did they?” Emmanuel inquired while
attending to the Snake Master’s urgent medical needs.
“Yes, the situation was beyond dire back then. I threw caution to the wind to
rescue my brother, but I was utterly outmatched. Luckily, my brother
employed a shedding skin technique, and we barely scraped through with
our lives!”
The woman in red’s words dripped with sincerity, her authenticity
accentuated as she gestured to her own feet. “I was so desperate to escape
that I even left my shoes behind!”
Although Emmanuel couldn’t imagine the details of the situation at the time,
the siblings’ present condition offered a glimpse of the danger they had
faced.
After rebandaging the Snake Master’s wounds, Emmanuel instructed the
woman in red, “If you want to save him, we’ll need some medicine and
medical supplies. Head out and get them now.”
However, she immediately looked troubled. “I’m strapped for cash at the
moment. I had to pawn all of my belongings to stay at this inn. That’s
probably why the chubby lady was so rude earlier.”
