Chapter 414

“To take out the enemy of the country! The enemy who abetted Kan Bender

in betraying Chanaea! The enemy who put our country through so much

unimaginable suffering!” Santiago replied briefly, showing his trust in his

mentee, Emmanuel. Deep down, he trusted his own judgment about

Emmanuel, believing he could perform as well as he used to before despite

not being as fit as his former self.

Emmanuel was surprised, not expecting Santiago to assign him with such a

mission. “Master, I…”

“What’s wrong? Have you lost your guts or something?” Santiago interrupted

Emmanuel when the latter didn’t give him an affirmative answer. “It’s been

three years! The punishment that the country imposed on you back then is

no longer effective, so what are you waiting for? Don’t you want to avenge

your dead comrades? Don’t you want to do something about the humiliation

the Wolf Warrior Unit suffered, as well as the Northern Region’s defeat?”

Bang! Agitated, Santiago slammed the wooden table with his palm and

broke it into two. At the same time, the old man’s hair billowed in the air as his

sleeves fluttered in an intimidating manner. As the Northern Region’s

experienced commander, Santiago’s charismatic persona and persuasive

words seemingly awoke the passion within Emmanuel, who had left his

career for the past three years. “Avenge our brother! Kill our enemies!”

Emmanuel also echoed his mentor’s words.

As the atmosphere intensified with their emotions, Santiago went on to

bellow in anger, saying, “Those people would do anything for their personal

gains at the cost of the country’s interest. After so many years, that man is

still at large, and because he has a huge network of connections, he takes

advantage of the rich and powerful to cover for his tracks. Can you tolerate

this?”

“Who exactly is he?” Emmanuel asked with a glacial look on his face,

wondering what kind of relationship that mysterious person had with the

Zelinsky family.

Instead of answering Emmanuel’s question directly, Santiago placed a

brocade bag in front of Emmanuel. When Emmanuel opened it, he saw a

picture of an individual and, some documents related to the person’s identity.

At the sight of that, he felt goosebumps running all over his body, his eyes

filled with disbelief. “Well, I can’t force you to rejoin the squad if you insist, but

since you’ve accepted this mission, this is your payment. The contract will be

effective for two years, so don’t let me down.” Santiago then placed a golden

card right in front of Emmanuel.

“But…” Emmanuel was filled with mixed feelings, knowing the card was no

ordinary item when he glanced at it. I bet I’m going to have a lot of money to

spend with this card, but I’m someone who made a terrible mistake in the

past, so do I really deserve this?

Nonetheless, Santiago waved his hand, his agitated reaction slowly turning

into a benevolent and calm look. “These awards were given to you back then.

Thus, they belong to you. Now that you’ve killed Kan and returned to the

Northern Region once more, I’m just returning the things you left behind three

years ago to their rightful owner.”

Emmanuel felt touched, thinking Santiago was just like a loving father to him.

“By the way, if you’re going back, don’t go back directly to Yeringham!”

Santiago reminded Emmanuel after discussing important business with him.

Emmanuel nodded as a gesture that meant he understood Santiago,

showing he didn’t need his mentor to elaborate. After all, he knew how

important it was to keep his whereabouts mysterious. Furthermore, his plan

was to kill the main enemy behind the treason conducted against Chanaea,

which was all the more reason for him to lay low, or his enemy would know

he was onto them. Thus, he did everything he could to keep his whereabouts

a secret and was even thinking about taking a few days off in another city to

create some confusion.

Half a month later, Mackenzie was hosting a board meeting in the

conference room at Terence Group. “Mr. Schwartz, your on-time delivery date

has gone down by 30 percent this quarter. If this continues, you can prepare

your resignation letter this month.”

“Mr. Lanaway, it appears that your marketing strategy is working. Our next

target is to expand our reach to the Southwest region and increase our

coverage by 30 percent!”

“Mr. Langstrom, I’m counting on you to expand our business to the market in

the Southeast region.” Mackenzie spoke coldly, demonstrating her efficiency

in delegating duties. As soon as she dismissed the meeting, everybody else

left, whereupon she sat down in her seat in exhaustion. At that moment, Lexi

was the only one who was still keeping her company in the conference room.

“It’s been two weeks, but why hasn’t that moron responded to my message?”

Mackenzie gently rubbed her temples and murmured to herself, although

she sounded like she was asking someone a question.

As someone who knew Mackenzie well, Lexi had been carefully observing her

for the past few days. Until she saw how concerned Mackenzie was about

Emmanuel, she never thought her boss would miss a man so dearly.

Maybe it’s true that the power of love is unimaginable. Lexi nudged her own.

glasses, complimenting herself for making a smart move to stay single. It

looks like I’m doing the right thing without dating anyone, or I’m going to be

the one suffering.

“Answer me, Lexi.”

When Mackenzie set her piercing gaze upon Lexi, the latter felt shivers

running down her spine and quickly answered, “Ms. Quillen, everyone across

the city knows whom you’re looking for. They’re just not sure if you’re the one

who sent that message. We’ve done everything we could, but Emmanuel is

still nowhere to be found, which can only mean one thing-he is out of

Yeringham.

“Damn it!” Mackenzie clenched her fists. “I’m going to make him pay for this

when I find him!”

Lexi couldn’t help but shudder at the sight of Mackenzie’s intimidating eyes,

thinking Emmanuel would never dare show up again if he saw her menacing

expression. Suddenly, Mackenzie heard a notification alert from her phone

and saw an incoming message. Upon skimming through the text, she was

seen with her mouth slightly wide agape, her face changing. The next

moment, she rose from her seat and walked straight out the door.

“Where are you going, Ms. Quillen?” Lexi asked in a panicky manner, following

closely behind Mackenzie.

“Onza!” Mackenzie gave a terse reply, leaving in a hurry without waiting for

anyone to come along with her. Upon rushing downstairs to the parking lot,

she entered her Maserati and drove to Onza straight away. It turned out that

the message she received not long ago was from Beatrix, who had informed

her of something related to Emmanuel’s whereabouts.

I can’t believe she actually found something about Emmanuel’s whereabouts

after skipping work for ten days. At that moment, Mackenzie’s mind was filled

with only Emmanuel, thinking, she would punish him terribly when she found

him. Finally, Emmanuel! I’m going to make you regret ghosting me! Hmph!

Putting her foot on the gas pedal, Mackenzie sped up on the road as she

couldn’t wait to arrive in Onza. At the same time, she couldn’t help but

question what was wrong with herself. After all, she didn’t feel quite like

herself as she had always disliked being anywhere close to any man until

Emmanuel entered her life. Since then, her life seemed to have changed so

much that she could never go back to the life she once had before he

showed up.

Having lived together with Emmanuel for nearly two months, Mackenzie was

already used to the life in which he prepared her daily meals and drove her

anywhere she wanted to go. Also, she had already grown used to frequently

interacting with Emmanuel’s family members. Thus, without Emmanuel, she

felt as if something was missing from her life. Also, she couldn’t stop thinking

about the last two times Emmanuel came to her rescue in a foolhardy

manner despite the dire situation she was in.

Just when Mackenzie was still absorbed in her thoughts, she began to enter

Onza’s main road when she found herself stuck in the traffic. Then, after she

took a closer look at what was going on ahead of her, her eyes were filled

with indifference.

Several people were standing in a circle with candles around them at the

junction. Then, a man was seen holding a bouquet, getting ready to confess

to a lady. She was the same person whom Emmanuel met during his

eighteenth speed date, Milani. As their romantic interaction drew the

attention of many bystanders, the traffic soon became congested, but the

duo wasn’t concerned by that as they seemed to enjoy the feeling of being in

the spotlight.
